This is great. Thank you. I'm using OpenSUSE 11.4 RC1 (64 bit). I'd like to add a few things:
ReplyDelete1) adb is now located in platform-tools directory. I like to make a symbolic link:
ben@linux-zmpk:~/androidsdk/tools> ln -s ../platform-tools/adb ./adb
2) Download Fastboot binary from HTC (even for non-HTC devices):
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2
unzip it in tools/ and fix permissions:
ben@linux-zmpk:~/androidsdk/tools> chmod a+x fastboot
3) Don't forget to add udev permissions for your device(s). In /etc/udev/rules.d (as root or sudo) create the file 98-android.rules
(I chose 98 arbitrarily, I don't think it matters as long as it doesn't collide with an existing rule ##)
Edit this file to contain the following line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4e22", MODE="0666", OWNER="ben"
where 18d1 is YOUR idVendor, 4e22 is YOUR idProduct, and ben is YOUR username (all in double-quotes).
To find your idVendor and idProduct (I'm using Samsung Nexus S), plug in your device via USB and use the command
> dmesg | tail
OR, search the web for them.
Unplug your device. Reset udev (as root) with:
> udevadm control --reload-rules
and plug your device back in.
> adb devices
should display a Serial(?) number and not a blank or a bunch of ??????????
USB debugging must be turned on on your device for this to work. If in the bootloader,
> fastboot devices
should work as well.
Good hacking!

You may also need to add the following line to the udev android.rules file:
ReplyDeleteSUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxxx",MODE="0666",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
