Opening this new thread is a call to all ubuntu users her: maybe you can help out. I cannot connect to my mi2s using adb. When I unplug the mi2s and connect my old HTC Desire S (with miuiandroid latest build), "adb devices" shows me my device. That's why I guess that adb itself is not the problem. There is another thread where someone posted a solution for ubuntu. This solution doesn't work for me (and someone else commenting). So I would be glad if you could post here how you got your device seen by the adb. I would love to install wiui ROM or custom recovery, but I would prefer having some sort of access to the system. Just to complete it: I neither have access to my mi2s in fastboot: "no permissions". (htc shows up as it should, and YES, on both phones "developer options -> usb debugging" is turned on.) I am pretty sure I had to modify udev-rules in order to see my old phone.
Connect your MI-2 to USB Run terminal on Ubuntu and type Code:lsusb Your device will be called something like this: Code:Bus 002 Device 007: ID 2717:9039 in USB MTP mode. Now edit udev rules. Code:sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules If 51-android.rules doesnt exist then create it. Write this into that file: Code:SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2717", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9039", MODE="0666", OWNER="username" , where user name is your "whoami" output. Save the file and restart your laptop. If that code doesnt work then try this: Code:SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2717", SYSFS{idProduct}=="####", MODE="0777" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2717", SYSFS{idProduct}=="####", MODE="0666"
Hi Acid, thank you for the reply. Here we go: output of lsusb: Code:Bus 002 Device 006: ID 2717:9039 (unlike all other rows there is no device mentioned) So the ID is exactly the same. Still, both ways of editing the 51-android.rules had no effect. Maybe the following output helps: 1st: the output from "sudo lsusb -vs 002:006" is Code:Bus 002 Device 006: ID 2717:9039 Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x2717 idProduct 0x9039 bcdDevice 2.28 iManufacturer 2 Xiaomi iProduct 3 MI 2 iSerial 4 926c5e bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 108 bNumInterfaces 4 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x80 (Bus Powered) MaxPower 500mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 3 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 5 MTP Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x01 EP 1 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x82 EP 2 IN bmAttributes 3 Transfer Type Interrupt Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x001c 1x 28 bytes bInterval 6 Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 1 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 66 bInterfaceProtocol 1 iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x83 EP 3 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x02 EP 2 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 2 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 8 Mass Storage bInterfaceSubClass 6 SCSI bInterfaceProtocol 80 Bulk-Only iInterface 1 Mass Storage Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x84 EP 4 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x03 EP 3 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 1 Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 3 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 67 bInterfaceProtocol 1 iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x85 EP 5 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x04 EP 4 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 0 Device Qualifier (for other device speed): bLength 10 bDescriptorType 6 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 bNumConfigurations 1 Device Status: 0x0000 (Bus Powered) And syslog-output ("tailf /var/log/syslog") Code: Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 246.928233] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 247.063496] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2717, idProduct=9039 Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 247.063508] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=4 Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 247.063516] usb 2-1: Product: MI 2 Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 247.063523] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Xiaomi Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 247.063529] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 926c5e Sep 30 19:19:45 benedikt-AMILO kernel: [ 247.065886] scsi7 : usb-storage 2-1:1.2 ...updated with syslog-code Does that help finding the error?
