[Bug 1051938] Re: Android ADB driver needs root

[HEXcube]

This bug's been fixed on newer Ubuntu releases. From 𝐔𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐮 𝟏𝟒.𝟎𝟒𝐋𝐓𝐒
"Trusty" and up adb works 'out of the box' on most devices. adb is made
part of android-tools source package and is available from Ubuntu repos:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools . adb can be
installed by the following command:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

This package installs /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android-tools-adb.rules for
udeb to recognise android devices in adb mode. So, there's no need to
use root for devices to get recognised in adb anymore. Please consider
closing this bug report as it's already been solved.

Title:
  Android ADB driver needs root

Status in android-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Standard Ubuntu 12.10 build, latest patches.

  I try to list the connected adb devices:

  "adb devices"

  ... this is the result:

  "????????????   no permissions in adb devices"

  Killing the adb server and running as root lets it burst into life:

  "adb kill-server
  sudo adb start-server"

  "List of devices attached
  SH18TV8003XX device"

  Does this package need udev rules to run the adb server as root?
