Need help, "adb" not detect my phone, I do not know what to do; and this was what I did, if I have a mistake or something tell me please.

  1. I log in as root and create this file.

    /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
    
  2. These are my rules, for my phone LG L80+Bello D331.

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
    
  3. I run this command and reboot.

    chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
    
  4. Finally, I test my changes, but don't display my devices.

    $ adb devices
    List of devices attached

from lsusb output I see that your device connected to Bus 004 as a device 005

Here it is Bus 004 Device 005: ID 1004:6300 LG Electronics, Inc.

I see that you did not create any group.You need to create a group (if permission denied prepend "sudo" following commands):

1) add plugdev group:

 groupadd plugdev

2) add your username to plugdev group (useradd -G {group-name} username):

 useradd -G plugdev orvi

3) restart udev (you may need to log off and log back in to update user group):

 sudo service udev restart

4) Now reload the rules with the following commands:

 sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
 sudo service udev restart
 sudo udevadm trigger

5) Verify device is now allowing plugdev user group access

ls -l /dev/bus/usb/<bus number from step 4>

It should give something like that:

  crw-rw-rw- 1 root plugdev 189, 329 Jul  3 18:23 074

6) Run adb devices to confirm permissions are correct and enjoy!
