Ubuntu and the DNA - HTC Droid DNA

I've decided to play around with Ubuntu again.. but my question is this.. when I plug my phone in, ADB isn't there.. How to I get my phone to connect to Ubuntu x64 (latest version, not sure number) as it did in Windows 7 .. Fastboot.. be able to transfer files to the internal storage... What gives?

This is the easiest way to install adb/fastboot that will work in any directory on linux (ubuntu) so you dont have to place the files in the platform-tools/ dir.
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb && sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
that will install adb and fastboot then,
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
a blank screen will pop up and add this, then change where it says <username> to your linux username and hit save (do NOT include the <>)
Code:
# adb protocol on DNA (dlx)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0dff", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# fastboot protocol on DNA (dlx)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0ff0", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# adb sideload on DNA (dlx)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0cf9", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
after you've saved that do a
Code:
sudo restart udev
if that doesnt work you may have to uncheck and recheck USB debugging in the settings on the phone...
or
when the phone is plugged in and adb is enabled in the terminal type
Code:
lsusb
Then you will get a bunch of stuff that looks like:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID [B]0bb4[/B]:[U]0dff[/U] HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Those 8 numbers are what you put in the the idVendor:idProduct
Do that for adb, fastboot(you have to be booted into the bootloader), and adb while in recovery (for sideload featuer)

Well.. I got too excited too quick... You lost me here...
after you've saved that do a

how are you lost?

It didn't work.. I'll try again.. I had to step away from it for some time.. I'll try it all again today...

[email protected]:~$ lsubs
No command 'lsubs' found, did you mean:
Command 'subs' from package 'libsubtitles-perl' (universe)
Command 'lsusb' from package 'usbutils' (main)
lsubs: command not found

This where I get stuck.. also before that..

udev start/running, process 11814

you spelled lsubs instead of lsusb. I'm pretty sure that message for reloading udev is normal.

---

Now my issue is with Fastboot... Does this not enable me to flash recoveries? I am trying and just says <Waiting for device>

---

you must do the same for fastboot as for adb
issue lsusb while in fastboot mode and get id number for fastboot and add that to ur android rules file also
issue lsusb while in recovery for proper ids
SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”aaaa″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”aaaa″, MODE=”0666″ <<< with id for adb
SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”bbbb″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”bbbb″, MODE=”0666″ <<< id for fastboot:bootloader
SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”cccc″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”cccc″, MODE=”0666″ <<< id for recovery
