Getting adb to work for a pulse on linux

[drdozer]

Hi,

I have recently got a shiny new android pulse, hoping to use it both as my primary phone and also to have a play with writing apps. Unfortunately, I can't get past step 1.

I've enabled usb debugging and dissabled usb mass storage. Then, I've started the adb daemon as root on my laptop. Then, connected the USB leads up. Finally, tried to run adb shell. It told me "error: no such device". adb devices lists nothing.

The device shows up on lsusb, so it's physically available over the usb. Also, with mass storage turned back on, I can copy files between the phone and my laptop.

$adt version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25

I';d really like to get adb behaving, so that I can replace the broken opengl.so and camera.so that's bundled by t-mobile, and start writing apps for fun and profit.

Thanks

Update:

It seems that adb will connect to the pulse when the phone is running in normal mode, but won't connect to it as root when it is in the quickboot screen. Other tools that work from the quickboot screen to install packages and unpack updates seem to work.
