Gabriela,
you certainly can try adding android.rules for your Flame to your ubuntu
machine. Yes, you may need sudo access to edit the file. Can you find out
who can give you the administration rights?
Once you obtain them, follow this
For the device to be seen on ubuntu:
1. $ lsusb
look for the device ID on your Flame. Should say something like:
"Bus 001 Device 023: ID 05c6:9026 Qualcomm, Inc. "
2. you will have to edit the android.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ :
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}==“05c6", MODE="0666", GROUP=“plugdev"
3. to restart the process :
sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/android.rules
sudo service udev restart
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
sudo reload udev
sudo udevadm trigger
4. $ adb devices
Verify your device is now seen by Ubuntu
Once you have ADB access, you can flash the device if you have the builds handy.
Hope that helps,
Tony
