make adb recognize android device

Question

I connected my android devices to my pc, when I do adb device return List of devices attached, but this list is empty.

If I do lsusb , I can se de device an id: Bus 001 Device 043: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy (MTP)

How can do to adb recognize the device and see it in List of devices? I'm not sure if adb debuggins is on, cause the screen is broken, and I need to access the cell phone information.

thanks.

Answer 1

if adb devices is coming empty there could be 2 reasons

1.Your Developer options is not turned on 2.Proper Device Drivers are not installed

Lsusb is a just a utility for displaying information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
