Same behavior is observed after running adb root when root is not already acquired.

note that adb root re-starts the adbd running on the device. so the common element here -- if you're all talking to the same device(s) -- might be "there's a problem with the usb stack on the devices we're talking to, that means they don't come back when adbd restarts".

I have the same issue and I've actually found the problem and have a tested fix.

In usb_linux.cpp, where the following code is:

unsigned char length = bufptr[0];
unsigned char type = bufptr[1];

A corsair usb device results in a type and length of both 0, even though all processing in the code is correct. It has several good descriptors, eventually followed by a length and type of 0, before bufptr gets to the full descriptor length. Therefore, this code loops indefinitely, and plugging in new devices is never found.

The fix is simple:

                     bufptr += length;
                 }

Thanks for the fix! This is great news.

The fix from 7f469838d2d4abd01c6e904db2fece7fc17d75b9%5E%21 will work, but I do worry about it checking that type is explicitly 0. It can still potentially lead to an infinite loop should some device contain a descriptor with a non-zero type and a zero length. While this fixes my problem, I'd still be weary of leaving this potential infinite loop in.

Thanks again

yeah, i missed that change from ps1 to ps2. i think we should change that back.

a zero-length descriptor will always cause this code to go into an infinite loop (because we only handle one type, and that's above this code --- if we could handle the type, we've already done so). it's never going to be useful for the adb server to hang if something's reporting a bad descriptor, so we should always break.

Buenas tardes
