Enable amazon firestick debugging

Question

adb tool is not recognizing my amazon firestick. Even if I have enabled debugging on the device. Heres what I have there:

msangel@msangel-np6:~/Downloads/firefox55$ adb devices
List of devices attached
78888888888882AL    no permissions (verify udev rules); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]

Answer 1

The adb tool is not recognizing the amazon as a vendor of devices. You need to register it on your system. Unplug your device first.

Then create file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules with such content:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1949", MODE="0666"

restart udev driver:

$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
$ sudo service udev restart

Then restart adb server (if running):

$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server

Connect your device. Now you're good.

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
78888888888882AL    device

actually, I have added all known(for me) vendors to that file:
