Android Debug Bridge (adb) device - no permissions

Kristopher picture Kristopher · Jan 22, 2013 · Viewed 171.4k times · Source

I have a problem connecting HTC Wildfire A3333 in debugging mode with my Fedora Linux 17. Adb says:

./adb devices
List of devices attached 
????????????    no permissions

my udev rules (first rule for Samsung which works just fine and second for HTC which is not):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666",GROUP="plugdev" 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666",GROUP="plugdev"

For Samsung devices everything's okay:

 ./adb devices
List of devices attached 
00198a9422618e  device

I have been trying all of the answers given in a simmilar thread wthout any luck: Using HTC wildfire for android development

I just had this problem myself under Debian Wheezy. I restarted the adb daemon with sudo:

sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
sudo ./adb devices

Everything is working :)
