adb devices does not display my device

[marcandroid]

Hi fellow Android users

I will get straight to the point. I own a LG Thrive(Optimus variant) and I loaded the SDK. When I use the adb devices command from the C:\ it doesn't list my device. What could be the issue?

Two quick questions

1. You have debugging on?

2. Are you working from the platform tools folder?

Yes debugging is on and yes, working from platform-tools.

One of the recent upgrades to the SDK changed the file structure a bit. Make sure the SDK's /tools and /platform-tools directories are both added to your PATH environment.

• On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ and platform-tools/ directories to the path.
• On Linux, edit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file. Look for a line that sets the PATH environment variable and add the full path to the tools/ and platform-tools/ directories to it. Or you can add it from command line: export PATH=${PATH}:<sdk>/tools:<sdk>/platform-tools
• On a Mac OS X, look in your home directory for .bash_profile and proceed as for Linux. You can create the .bash_profile if you don't already have one.

How will this allow my device to be displayed? also, the tools folder is located inside of the platform-tools folder so do i just add the platform-tools to the system path?

adb devices now displays device(problem solved)

It was a matter of installing the drivers for the Thrive(duuhhh). Installed drivers for LG Phoenix including the USB driver and adb devices now displays my LG Thrive. Thanks to you all for your help.
