Device not getting detected in DDMS in Ubuntu 12.04 - 32bit

Question

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 32bit. I have a Micromax Ninja A87 Android phone running GB 2.3.5. My problem is the phone does not get detected. When I try on a windows 7 pc, it does get detected.

Here are all the steps I followed but still no lucks.

$ lsusb
Output: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1c9e:9e08 OMEGA TECHNOLOGY

I created the 51-android.rules file and have this as the contents:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1c9e", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Alternatively I tried this link also - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475740

Done chmod a+r on 51-android.rules

Restarted udev , also restarted my PC. done kill-server & start-server But still when I do "adb devices" -- it doesn't detect my phone.

Here are some more info: 1)USB debugging is enable in phone. 2)Whenever i connect my phone to pc, it shows a popup in PC("usbmodem mass storage has been connected").

does your ubuntu have proper drivers ti support the device connected? — Raghunandan, Mar 24 '13 at 16:38
I hope so, but still need to be confirmed. Can you let me know how can I check that ? — basu, Mar 24 '13 at 16:58

while checking the vendorId and productId in windows(phone always detected by windows system), it shows 1c9e:9e18. But as mentioned, in ubuntu it shows 1c9e:9e08. So tried to switch to the same vendorId/productId in ubuntu i.e 1c9e:9e18. So created a rule in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e:9e08 and put the below contents in the file. Code:

DefaultVendor=0x1c9e
DefaultProduct=0x9e08

TargetVendor=0x1c9e
TargetProduct=0x9e18

SierraMode=1
NoDriverLoading=1

add below code to the file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules

ATTR{idVendor}="1c9e", ATTR{idProduct}="9e08", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

Once done run :

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x1c9e -p 0x9e08 -S -R -W

Now adb will recognise the phone.

For further reference you can go through the below link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968465

Please summarise the link in your answer; that way, if the link goes stale the answer won't be completely useless. — michaelb958--GoFundMonica, May 29 '13 at 04:02
I switched the same device to 1c9e:9e18, but ```adb``` still does not recognize it. — Oleksii K., Oct 14 '13 at 14:08
