How To Get Started
here is a 51-android.rules file that will handle the devices from a handful of
manufacturers:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c01",
MODE="0666", OWNER="[me]"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1354", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="681c", MODE="0666"
Drop that in your /etc/udev/rules.d directory on Ubuntu, then either
reboot the computer or otherwise reload the udev rules (e.g., sudo service
udev reload). Then, unplug and re-plug in the device and see if it is
detected.
