But what if your phone or emulator gets stuck in a "boot-loop"? It seems that ADB only works if the ADB daemon can detect the phone or device/emulator. I've tried "$ ./adb logtcat" before, but it hangs b/c it cannot detect the device.
I've tried using the phone's emulator as a work-a-round: however, upon running the adb server I get the following error: error: device offline I've tried killing adb server, rebooting it, and then running "$ ./adb devices" to get: * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached emulator-5554 offline Is there a way to turn the phone online?
