Hi

Do you have android-tools-ad installed?
Did you follow the instructions to enable developer mode in settings?
And then the phone needs to be opened using your pincode or password
If so adb devices should list the phone and adb shell can then access it.

The filesystem is read-only by default, to make it writeable either use
phablet-config writeable-image or run sudo -S mount -o remount,rw / on the
device

Your Mint may not know the devices usb id. You can add it with the
file  ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
containing
the string: 0x2a47
