Question

I followed the tutorial to set up ZTE tablet device for development. I am developing under Ubuntu 10.04.

After create the rules file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"

After I plug in the ZTE tablet device with debugging enabled. I run command:

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb devices

I got :

List of devices attached 

????????????    no permissions

I thought may be it is because I did not restart adb as root. SO, I tried to restart adb as root, and I entered the command in my terminal:

sudo adb kill-server , but I got the message in terminal that “sudo: adb: command not found“

But if I enter command without “sudo”, that’s “adb kill-server” it works.

Is it because my path setting is wrong?????

I set the path under HOME/.bashrc, with :

export PATH=$PATH{}:/home/user/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools:/home/user/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

Conclude all above, I got two problems:

1. the adb listed device has no permissions
2. I can not run adb as root

My questions:

1. Are the problems all because of my path setting is wrong?
2. Is it because ZTE tablet device is different from mobile device? Some tricks need to be done for tablet??
3. something else?

Where am I wrong?

P.S. Since I lost the USB cable shipped with the ZTE tablet, I use a NOKIA USB cable to connect the ZTE tablet with my development Ubuntu machine, could this also cause the above problems???? (With Nokia USB cable, I can still access the ZTE tablet file system anyhow)

Answer 1

Every thing goes fine after I run the command:

sudo -s
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

Then my ZTE tablet is shown.
