Android: adb does not recognize phone

0
votes

I have an unbranded Android phone here which I would like to develop some apps on. However, adb devices does not give any output. When I run lsusb, this is the output:

ID 1782:5d01 Spreadtrum Communications Inc.

I suspect that I am lacking some drivers or anything of the sort, but how do I make the adb server recognize the phone?

I am running Ubuntu 13.10, kernel 3.11.0-15-generic.

you also need to enable usb debugging in the phone - Pedro Loureiro
As far as I can see, it is enabled. - Phil
