It seems that now the adb started to work on 14.04 LTS with Lenovo
Y500 which has the USB 3.0. It required restarting of the adbd on the
laptop side as well.

So confirmed, MX4 works with the android-tools-adb from the
ppa:phablet-team/tools with 14.04 LTS. It looked like that for some
reason it required few times to tap on the phone "enable/disable"
developer mode. At least it seemed like that the developer mode UI
checkbox is enabled after reboot of the device, but the state is
"disabled".

$ apt-cache policy android-tools-adb
