Question

I’m having trouble adding my ZTE warp to my desktop machine for android development.

I’ve been editing the 51-android.rules file with no luck. I’m currently adding this line for my phone:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="19d2", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

but upon entering the command:

adb devices

I get the following output:

“List of devices attached
???????? no permissions”

Is there anyone who could suggest a way to edit my .rules file to get this to run? Thanks for any help!

p.s. it seems like someone else had this problem Here but it was not resolved.

Answer 1

Have you added yourself to the plugdev group?

sudo usermod user_id -G plugdev -a

Replace user_id with your own Linux id that you use to login.

Also, I have this in mine:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1351", MODE="0666" GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"

And log out and log in again for the additional group to kick in. If not working, reboot or restart udev 🙂

Edit: As it turned out the OP’s group id was replaced with plugdev and ended up not in sudoers list – my bad! I left out the critical switch -a! All I can say is oops! 🙂
