I found a workaround last night (sorry, I should have replied to myself): adb needs to be started as root in order for it to work after.
Observe (all of this is with the phone connected): e...@evan-desktop:~$ adb kill-server && adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached e...@evan-desktop:~$ adb kill-server && sudo adb devices [sudo] password for evan: * daemon not running. starting it now * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached HT843GZ46005 device e...@evan-desktop:~$ adb devices List of devices attached HT843GZ46005 device I have no idea what changed overnight/between rebooting, but I'm glad that it works now. If anyone has any ideas as to what broke it, I'm all ears.
