Nexus One ADB on Ubuntu 9.10/Arch Linux

Posted by Brian on January 26, 2010 Leave a comment (11) Go to comments

So I just spent the last hour trying to get the Nexus One and ADB to play nicely together on my machine. Finally it is working and here is how…

/etc/udev/rules.d/90-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e12", SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0fff", SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"

sudo restart udev

This should allow any user in the plugdev group to use adb without sudo.

Hey, my idProduct is 4e11 not 4e12 – and I can’t get this to work. Is there something running or not running on my N1 that may be causing this difference?

  Make sure you have debugging enabled on the phone. I believe I have seen that id and it was because debugging wasn’t enabled.
