Why is Eclipse and ADB not recognizing my Android Device?

Question

My device is Alcatel OneTouch 890 with Android 2.1. I configured in 51-android.rules in rules.d of /etc/udev folder.

My operation system is Ubuntu.

I enabled the usb debugging mode in my device.

HTC and Samsung devices are detecting, but not my Alcatel,

Here is my 51-android.rules file.

#HTC
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
#samsung 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}==”04e8”,ATTRS{idProduct}=="689e", MODE="0666",OWNER="abcd"
#alcatel
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", MODE="0666"

Answer 1

First, check the kind of quotes you are using in your udev rules. It looks like you might be using non-ASCII double quotes. See the difference between the quotes around usb and usb_device, etc.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”1bbb”, MODE="0666"

You can also just use sudo with ADB, as suggested by @JeremyD. Doing that makes this file essentially irrelevant.

Second,

1. Edit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini (or if you are running as root, check /root/.android)
2. If the file already exists, add 0x1bbb to the end; otherwise do: echo 0x1bbb >> adb_usb.ini
3. adb kill-server
4. adb start-server
5. Check output of adb devices for your device

Hope this helps.
