Trouble connecting to LG phone with adb (Mac OS X 10.7.5)

When I run adb devices there are no devices showing as connected. My device is a LG Optimus Exceed 2 running 4.4.2 There are many of these posts around, so here's what I've done:

  • I'm using the cord that came with the phone. It charges and tries to sync photos, so it isn't an issue here. Switching usb ports and trying a powered usb hub doesn't affect it either.
  • I've added the vendor id (0x1004) to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
  • Restarted and unplugged any combination of things you can think of
  • USB Debugging is on. And has been restarted. Same with Unknown sources.
  • I have never used EasyTether, nor is it installed anywhere on my computer.
  • Updated adb, updated my sdk.
  • Restarted adb server
  • Tried installing LG's drivers: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-VS450PP (They say they don't support Mac S/W upgrade, yet they have a package to install. No help there)
  • I have a Nexus S running 4.1 that works, and an old LG phone running Gingerbread that connect.

Any wizards out there who've already struggled with this who have advice?

Why my device is not showing in ADB devices on Mac?

Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled. You will receive two notifications on your phone to allow the connected computer to have access and another to allow access to the media on your device. Enable both. Your phone will now be recognized if you type 'adb devices' in the terminal.

Why is ADB device not found?

“ADB device not found” may be caused by a missing Windows driver for your Android device. To fix it, install the driver using the device manager. Make sure to enable unknown source and enable developer (See solution 1 step 1 and 2). Click Windows Start, type in SDK manager.

I tried all of the connection types (charge, MTP, PTP) but perhaps not "Internet Connnection, modem"? You can change it by pulling down the system-wide drop down menu and touching "USB connection".

This is how I fixed it, but I thought I'd tried this already, so I can't guarantee it wasn't this in conjunction with one of the things done above.

PTP seemed to do the trick. Never had to do that on any other device...
