Trying to setup ADB, but cannot see my device

Post by Asim »

Hi All,


For the past week I have been pulling my hair out trying to get my device on ADB (Android Debug Bridge). I have read Google's instructions here and followed them:

http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html

but when I type "adb devices" my device never shows up. The 51-android.rules file looks like this:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1004", ATTR{idProduct}=="633e", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev", OWNER="asim"

Here is the output from lsusb.

asim@asim-Aspire-E1-572 ~ $ lsusb

My device is the LG G3. When I did the ls -l command I can see asim and audio have permissions what about plugdev? I have also modified the adb_usb.ini file and put my vendor ID, but still my device is never detected.

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
# ie 0x2207
0x1004

Everytime I do "adb devices" it just shows this:

asim@asim-Aspire-E1-572 ~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached

I have also done sudo adb devices but same problems.
