I have rc30 and root!

[DaijoubuKun]

I have followed all instructions in this thread and still have no access to my android. The device is listed in my lsusb and I can mount the sd card without issues. The only line I can think of changing is
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4",MODE="066 6
but what would the subsystem be? I don't get any errors when I run this, unless I put a space after each comma. Then I get a command not found. Other than that I have no idea why this phone can not be seen by the adb program

There are two options Stericson listed for Ubuntu, depending on what build Ubuntu one was using have you tried the usb driver ID listed for Dapper Drake or Hearty Heron?

[DaijoubuKun]

I have tried both, I have even tried changing the subsystem name, like to "usb_dev". As best I can tell it should be there, Also I made a diff of my /dev tree before and after pluging in the phone, I don't know if it will help, but it's worth a try.

The last one is a synlink that points to /dev/sdb (sd card)

Oh my god, I just realized what the problem is! So obvious now.

You can't mount the Sdcard and connect the G1 as a device also (not simultaneously, that is). Disable USB Mount or deny the Mount (the latter if you have stock Rc30), THEN go through with ADB commands.

Heehee . . . happy we got that one figured out so simply!

I tried both ways, mounting the sdcard and not mounting it, the phone is currently connected and when the phone asked if I wanted to mount the sdcard I denied it. I just also tried removing the sd card (yes I did the safe unmount) then plugged the phone back into the usb and told it not to mount the card (card still removed at that point).

I reran the diff on /dev and received the same output as listed in my previous post

Rats. I thought I had that nailed. PM inportb . . . the guy is a 'Nix master. Promise he'll figure it out in 5 nanoseconds if he's around.

I just got my phone recognized in Ubuntu 8.04 VMware Server.

I used the following snippets:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules

entered this into the file:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

Save.
sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules

Logout, login (VMware hardware recognizing thing. try it anyways)
./adb devices

I probably should have mentioned that my phone is running rc30, that's how it came to me from tmobile.

Also, just a quick question on jail breaking the phone and gaining root access. I have been told that it's not a good idea to do so because it 'breaks' a lot of the functionality. Is that true? Or could I gain root on my rc30 without having any issues, even tho I don't know why I would even need root in the first place.

[rynosaur]

No, I haven't lost any functionality by going RC30 root. Going ADP1 firmware loses Tmo functionality, that's true.

Unless a multi-touch browser(proof of working potentials) is a loss in functionality, you only gain.
