Linux user here - stuck with "insufficient permissions for device"

Rene. · August 19th, 2010, 08:57 PM

The phone is correctly rooted, and I'm using this method:

FASTFORWARD TO 5:17 PLEASE

YouTube - How To Root & Sideload Apps on the Samsung Captivate with Windows

I get stuck here trying to install a HTC_IME.apk file (trying to get the HTC Keyboard on my Cap) to my phone. I've ran it as a regular user and as a su user in my terminal. Is this an error on my phone's end? Maybe I missed a setting during/after rooting my phone?

Code:

rene@rene:~/Android SDK /android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ sudo ./adb install HTC_IME.apk
[sudo] password for rene: 
error: insufficient permissions for device

Help would be greatly appreciated

maerlim's guide did not look linux friendly (few things are different in the linux terminal than the windows command prompt) which is why I haven't tried it, but if any other linux users followed his directions I'll try to give it a go.

*******EDIT*******

Ok so I ran ./adb devices to view my device just for the hell of it and here's what returned:

Code:

rene@rene:~/Android SDK /android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached 
????????????    no permissions

My phone is mounted correctly, USB debugging is on, what the heck did I miss?

From what I can gather it probably does not even detect my device

sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb devices (it should no longer say ????????????? no perms)
sudo ./adb install <name of app>

if the install command doesn't work:

./adb push <name of app> /sdcard
install from the phone using Astro or, my favorite, EStrongs.
