Take a look at this question: connect to Raspberry Pi 3 using adb

The Raspberry Pi isn't a USB device, the USB connection is just for power, so it won't show up in adb devices. You have to connect it to a network first then use adb connect.

that was my suspicion as well... it's quite a shame that if you do not have an ethernet connection, there is no way to connect for the first time and setup WiFi.

In short, you have to connect it to network using Ethernet and then follow the instructions using adb command to connect it to Wifi. Yeah, I know it is dumb but it is just the way it works at the moment.

And adb devices won't show anything until it is connected with TCP. RPi3 won't work as a USB slave device.

Check the details here and other stuffs.

If you are trying to connect to wifi, you can connect your pi with a laptop through USB to TTL module, after that you can use putty to run the following

am startservice \
    -n com.google.wifisetup/.WifiSetupService \
    -a WifiSetupService.Connect \
    -e ssid YOURWIFINAME \
    -e passphrase YOURWIFIPASSWORD

if you do it successfully you should be able to see your pi's ip address after running:

ifconfig wlan0

like this:

inet addr: 192.168.1.104 Bcast: 192.168.1.255  Mask 255.255.255.0

what if I have a space in my ssid name?
@NoumanTahir If you have space or any special characters in your SSID then escape it by “\”.
I tried changing SSID to one without space as well...it doesn't connect, yet it's not connecting via LAN as well now, I am guessing it's something to do with my board cause sometimes it connects over the same cable and sometimes it just doent
