Oppo Find 5 Tips and Tricks
Problem: Adb doesn’t recognize the phone, even if it is in development mode
Oppo Find 5 has a USB device ID that is not in the list of devices recognized by Android SDK by default. To make adb detect the device you need to create an add-on that declares the correct ID:
mkdir $ANDROID_SDK/add-ons/addon-find5-kello-1
In the directory create manifest.ini
:
Then update the devices ids of adb:
$ANDROID_SDK/tools/android update adb
And finally restart adb:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
