I don't know about udev and eudev, vut an Android phone is an MTP device --
the Music Transfer Protocol.

The only way I succeed in accessing my Android phone (a Nexus 5) is to put
it into developer mode, and to use adb on my Linux-based system. That's the
Android debgger.

Android fiercely protects the data stored on it against even its owner.
Gaining root access the official way -- without depending on Android bugs
-- deletes all the data on the phone.

Whereas developer mode has restrictions, but doesn't delete your data unless
you ask it to.

Hope this helps, and that you don't already know it.
