You should add a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d (i.e.: 51-android.rules):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

just in case verify that the id for your phone matches 0x04e8 using lsusb. Once the new rule is added just reload them by

$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

You have to install the ADB/USB driver corresponding to your Android device.

Summary:

[ -s /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules ] || sudo echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"' >/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Download a patched for Linux ADB executable: http://floe.butterbrot.org/external/adb.gz
Replace android-sdk-linux_86/tools/adb with a new one.

Thanks.
