I am having a funky issue connecting my HTC EVO 3D (Running 4.0.3) to my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.1). I have connected this phone using adb and Android Studio for development, using the same cord, same phone, and operating system on a different computer.

The EVO is in debug mode, tried swapping out cables, swapping ports, restarting computer multiple times, restarting phone etc. The phone will mount as a disk, but can not be discovered by adb in any connection mode.

This leaves me to believe that either my USB ports on my MacBook are messed up, which I have followed instructions to reseting my SMC and PRAM, which lead to nothing. So then I thought it was possibly a corrupt ADB, so I went ahead and reinstalled the Android SDK This lead to a few hours wasted, but was feeling confident this would solve my problems. Unfortunately it did not, does anyone have any suggestions?

Edit: To add to the confusion, I can get the EVO to mount as a storage device, and upload an apk for development, but this is not very helpful if I have to transfer the file manually every time I want to test.

After months of not being able to debug through ADB, I've figured it out. According to this answer on Stack Overflow, the program EasyTetherUSBEthernet can cause problems with ADB.

Running this in terminal, with a reboot fixed all my problems. 

sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kextv

If you need to use EasyTetherUSBEthernet you can reload it using:

sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
