ADB problem on Ubuntu 12.04

---

Hi All

i have a problem on Ubuntu 12.04 with the adb .
My device is simply not detected by adb. ( there are no devices in the device list.
I have updated the udev rules many times , and it seems to me that the device itself is detected by the system.
I wiould need any help with that problem , which makes me slowly really mad.

Thank you for your help

Hi,

The problem got solved for me when I started adb server as root process.

Open a terminal and go to android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools or wherever adb resides, and type

adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server

Now hopefully when you type adb-devices, adb-server will recognize your device provided the udev-rules are correct.

All the best !

kuisma@workstation:/etc/udev/rules.d$ more 51-android.rules
# Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTR{idProduct}=="6168", MODE="0600", OWNER="kuisma"

Using this, you don't have to run the adb server as root. Use the "lsusb" to get Vendor and Product id for your device.
Also, change "kuisma" to your user, of course, unless toy happen to be me.
Restart udev (/etc/init.d/udev restart) once you've edited this.

To get your newly build Apps down to your device you have to use the ADB (Android Debug Bridge). The common way to make your device ready for playing is to download the USB driver package which is included in the SDK Manager.

But these drivers are only for a couple of common mobile devices, so what if you have an ARCHOS 8 like me…. You will still get stuck with a nice…. device not found ….

The first part is easy, Archos in my case, offers his own usb drivers .

After downloading the USB driver I got a shiny “Archos 7 ADB” item under “Android Phone” in my windows device manager. But what is this,…. after restarting the ADB daemon,…. “ADB devices” was only showing an annoying message… “device not found….” Gees.

Hmm, Google is your best friend …… The solution is that the ADB daemon needs also your USB device vendor ID (VID)

If you cannot get it from your device vendor you may look under device manager -> device details -> hardware ID -> USB\VID_xxxx.

The VID for the adb should be placed in a file under {user home}/.android/adb_usb.ini.

Insert the VID in HEX notation {0x0e79}

If this file does not exist, just create it!

Dear all suddenly it is solved !!!!!!
Well the sollution was for me to insert the Vendor Id of my box into the $HOME/.android/abd_usb.ini in the hex notation.
After that i have killed the server and restarted it as a normal user.

It is working fine now and the device is shown by the adb devices

Thank you for your help

I did not see anybody here mention Knives-And-Forks Tools which is easiest way to Install adb and Fastboot on multiplatform computer. I did it and works like a charm
