title: Android ADB not detecting device in Mac OS X although device is detected by Android File Transfer
body: <p>After installing android studio, I installed ADB as well. However, for some reason ADB doesn't detect my device. To make a note I think I have done all the basic stuff I found online, i.e.:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>Set device in Developer mode and enable USB debugging</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Cable works well (Android file transfer automatically opens when I connect the device)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Installed Java JDK 8</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>I have done 'adb kill-server', restarted my device and Mac but still not working</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>I'm using Android Studio 2.2 and running Mac OS X Sierra on my Laptop, and the android phone is running Android 5.0.1 (on an LG Phone)</p>
  <p>NB: I have tried the other solutions on stack overflow but thats not the problem.</p>
  <p>ADB (is installed) and works from the command line, but when I run :</p>
  <ul>
  <li>'adb usb' command, it says 'error: no devices/emulators found'</li>
  <li>'adb devices' command, it prints 'List of devices attached' with an empty line beneath.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I believe this is a specific issue and the general solutions to install ADB or restart doesn't work here as I have tried all that.</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>I have removed and reinstalled android studio, still not working.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>I have removed and reinstalled adb and adb &amp; fastboot, still not working.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>I have restarted my device, disabled and re-enabled developer mode, still not working.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Obviously, I have unplugged and plugged the cable back in several times, still not working (only Android File Transfer keeps coming up)</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>Just in case, I have <strong>rooted</strong> my device, could that be the problem or that doesn't matter?</p>
