How to Configure the Linux before using the fastboot mode of Android

After installing the android sdk, we still need some configuration before using the fastboot mode of the nexus s on Linux.

Firstly, we need the device ID of the android device, here is the nexus s. Connect the nexus s to the computer via USB, then type "lsusb" in the terminal, see figure 1. In the last line, we can see the ID "18d1:XXXX".

Then, create a file in "/etc/udev/rules.d" named "51-android.rules". Copy "UBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"" into the file. After rebooting, you can use the fastboot mode.
