When `adb` shows devices as `????????????` it's usually a permission problem and the usb device file. Your `udev` rules doesn't seem right. Make sure that you have udev configured to something like this: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666" Where `04e8` is Samsung's USB Vendor ID. Under Linux there is also an `adb_usb.ini` from the SDK where you have to add the vendor IDs: `~/.android/adb_usb.ini` # ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT. # USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE. # 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE. 0x17ef 0x1949
