Adb returns “device not found” in recovery mode

Question

I am trying to access an Android device (Samsung Galaxy Y) via usb using adb. When the phone works as usual, with USB debugging turned on, adb works fine, and I see the device with the call "adb devices". However, I need adb access in recovery mode (I want to run fsck on / data and therefore I need to unmount it first). I reboot the phone in recovery mode and start CWM (ClockworkMod ROM Manager), but then the phone does not appear with "adb devices".

I looked through this, and it looks like on Windows systems the solution is to change the drivers. However, I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I am stuck with my problem. I tried some udev rule tips in /etc/udev/rules.d but no one worked for me.

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

In my case, using another TWRP gave me access to side load ADB.

Answer 2

Perhaps try "fastboot devices." It can work in recovery mode. There is a good explanation for using adb / fastboot here: http://lifehacker.com/the-most-useful-things-you-can-do-with-adb-and-fastboot-1590337225
