[Resolved] [Q] Setting Up ADB/USB Drivers for Android Devices in Ubuntu maverick 10.10?

thisisspeedy · Oct 30, 2010

OK so I tried these instruciton for Lucid on Maverick. I would post the link but I can't cuz I'm a newbie.

Download the latest Android SDK from Google: Android SDK
Extract the TGZ file to your home/user directory
NOTE: User would be your username
On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
Login as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/##-android.rules
NOTE: In the above file replace ## with the number 50 if you are running Gusty/Hardy/Dapper (50-android.rules) or with the number 70 if you are running Karmic Koala/Lucid Lynx(70-android.rules)
Or simply type in terminal sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/##-android.rules then enter your password
The file should read:
For Gusty/Hardy: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Dapper: SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Karmic Koala: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Lucid: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
NOTE: In the above lines the code ”0bb4″ refers to a HTC device. If your phone is from a different manufacturer, replace the code with the appropriate from the table below.

Execute: sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
Reboot
To run ADB you need to add an environment variable to your bashrc file:
Open a terminal window and type: sudo gedit .bashrc
Add the following line at the end: export PATH=${PATH}:~/home/user/android-sdk-linux_86/tools
Save and close
You should be ready to go, type adb devices in a terminal window with your phone plugged in.
If you see a serial number pop up that means you are done. Should look something like this:
List of devices attached
HT99PHF02521 device
If for some reasons when running adb devices gives you a “no permissions” error, try typing the following in terminal
adb kill-server
adb start-server
USB Vendor IDs

MANUFACTURER USB VENDOR ID
Acer 0502
Dell 413c
Foxconn 0489
Garmin-Asus 091E
HTC 0bb4
Huawei 12d1
Kyocera 0482
LG 1004
Motorola 22b8
Nvidia 0955
Pantech 10A9
Samsung 04e8
Sharp 04dd
Sony Ericsson 0fce
ZTE 19D2
Common ADB Commands

- Lists which devices are currently attached to your computer

adb devices
- Drops you into a basic linux command shell on your phone with no parameters, or lets you run commands directly

adb shell
- Lets you install an Android application on your phone

adb install
- Remounts your system in write mode – this lets you alter system files on your phone using ADB

adb remount
- Rets you upload files to your phones filesystem

adb push
- Lets you download files off your phones filesystem

adb pull
- Starts dumping debugging information from your handset to the console – useful for debugging your apps

adb logcat
Now, as for the credits, I took TheUnlockr “How To” for Windows as a base for this guide.

But it doesn't work in maverick. Please help. Because I really want to overlock my phone.

Also keep in mind I'm fairly new to Linux so be easy on the newbie.

Thanks guys.

So did post this in the wrong section? This silent treatment is killing me. lol

in terminal type:

$ sudo -i

$ gedit .bashrc

insert the same line at the end: export PATH=${PATH}:~/home/user/android-sdk-linux_86/tools

$ exit

$ sudo -i

$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
$ adb devices

Dude this is for adb, not for recognizing the USB...

My phone is HTC Desire and I am still figuring out why it doesnt work on 10.10 with all the rules...

I'm assuming thisisspeedy got to the same stage i did: USB connects, i can access files through maverick, however adb won't detect the device to allow push/pull/shell.

simply elevating to root & editing the bash script on maverick solves the problem.

I have my Galaxy S connected to Maverick via USB, and i can run all ADB functions.

It should work for HTC using the correct code. If you have a problem with Ubuntu detecting your device on USB when you've set USB to mount on Android, PM me and I'll see if i can help.

Could someone post a link for the Lucid dirs? Thanks.

Thanks for everyone responses.

I figured it out thanks to this.
[QUOTEThe Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device.

I was trying to run it for the first time on my ubuntu 9.10 box and I kept getting this error:

desktop:~/dev/Android/android-sdk-linux/tools$ adb
No command 'adb' found, did you mean:
Command 'cdb' from package 'tinycdb' (main)
Command 'gdb' from package 'gdb' (main)
Command 'aub' from package 'aub' (universe)
Command 'dab' from package 'bsdgames' (universe)
Command 'mdb' from package 'mono-debugger' (universe)
Command 'arb' from package 'arb' (multiverse)
Command 'tdb' from package 'tads2-dev' (multiverse)
Command 'pdb' from package 'python' (main)
Command 'jdb' from package 'openjdk-6-jdk' (main)
Command 'jdb' from package 'sun-java6-jdk' (multiverse)
Command 'ab' from package 'apache2-utils' (main)
adb: command not found

What was I doing wrong?

A quick google search shows me the error of my ways.. I haven't added my Android SDK tools directory to my system path!

It should go something like this...

open a terminal window and type:

$ echo $PATH
---(should return the directories associated with $PATH)

$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/YOUR-USERNAME/sdk/tools
---(replace with path to your tools directory, you may need to add 'sudo' to the beginning of this cmd)

$ echo $PATH
---(you should now see your tools directory added to the end of the $PATH variable)

$ adb devices
---(now adb should do something, if nothing else at least error, no devices)

And now I get:

List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device

Sweet Success!

p.s. Adding to the system path in Windows is along the lines of :
right-click '(My) Computer'
Select 'Properties'
Go to 'Advanced' or whatever tab you find 'Environment Variables'
Select 'Path' then 'Edit' and add your new path in.][/QUOTE]

============================================================
THANK YOU!! (I did hit 'THANKS' as well)...
You pointed me in the right direction with Ubuntu 10.04.
The only change was with SDK..the 'adb' has moved to $ ~/platform-tools/
By the way folks, when you install SDK, it would be wise to do all the updates, otherwise the platform-tools folder won't be an option....:cyclops:

"The order has been restored.."
