<p>Some Debian, Ubuntu, and derivative distributions have an outdated fwupd package
with a bug breaking connecting to Android's bootloader interface (fastboot) while
fwupd is running since it tries to connect to arbitrary devices. This section can
be skipped on Arch Linux and other distributions with fwupd 1.9.10 or later since
we reported the bug and it was fixed. This never impacted Android or ChromeOS.</p>
<p>The fwupd software often used on Linux distributions for updating firmware is
known to incorrectly connect to arbitrary devices using the fastboot protocol which
will block using them for the intended purpose. This can result in receiving an
error about the USB device already being in use (claimed) when trying to connect to
it for the intended purpose.</p>
<p>Check your fwupd version with the following command:</p>
<pre>apt-cache policy fwupd</pre>
<p>If you have a fwupd version earlier than 1.9.10, you can stop fwupd with the
following command:</p>
<p>You can stop fwupd with the following command:</p>
