Problem

You are trying to use the Android Debug Bridge (adb), but running it from the command line trying to list the connected devices you get the error:

insufficient permissions for device

1	insufficient permissions for device

Solution

You would need to start the adb server with su permissions, so you can try the following:

adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
adb devices
adb logcat

adb kill-server

sudo adb start-server

adb devices

adb logcat
