In my haste, I misdiagnosed the issue. I tried the Asus cable today, the one that came with the Nexus 7 I think, and it didn't work either.
Anyhow, I typed "android" at the command prompt and updated Android SDK Platform-tools. It updated adb from version 1.0.29 to 1.0.31. Now the Nexus 7 does not claim to be "offline" anymore. Thanks for your help. On Monday, May 6, 2013 9:09:29 AM UTC-5, Raghav Sood wrote: > > Cable's are the same. You probably hadn't authorized the nexus 7's RSA > fingerprint on that machine.
