BASIC ADB COMMANDS How to get your logcat To use logcat simply Code: adb shell logcat To logcat to sdcard Code: adb shell logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt Copy an app from your phone to your computer Code: adb pull /system/app/filename.apk C:\path (replace filename.apk with the app your pulling also replace path with the folder your placing the app in) Install an app from your computer on your phone This is also known as sideloading. Unlike installing from the SD card, it does not require unknown sources to be enabled. Code: adb install filename.apk This assumes that you are working from the directory where the file is located. This will install the application to /data/app. It will also show sometimes useful errors if install fails. That is not something you will see from the Android GUI. If you want to do anything which needs admin access, first we go to the adb shell which logs into the phone. Code: adb shell If we end up with a $, we will want admin rights, in many cases. To get admin rights, you want to type Code: su Look at your phone if this is the first time, it may prompt you to allow access. Else you will get permission denied. If you are not rooted, this will not work Push an app from your computer to your phones filesystem Code: adb push filename /pathtodirectoryonphone So for instance, if I have test.txt that I want to send to root of /sdcard, I would type: Code: adb push test.txt /sdcard/ Pushing files can be done to any directory, however, some are protected. For instance, /system is going to give you a permission denied or a read only filesystem error. To get around this, the easiest thing to do is push the file to your sdcard, then log into the shell: Code: adb shell Code: su We will then mount the system as writable Code: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system Then we can use something like Code: cp /sdcard/test.txt /system/app/test.txt cp stands for copy and it requires the path of the file and destination path. When you copy it, you can rename it to whatever you like. For instance, if we wanted to backup a file Code: cp /sdcard/test.txt /sdcard/backuptest.txt Pulling files from your phone to your computer Lets say you want to get a file from your phone, to modify, backup, etc. To do this, we simply use adb in this manner: Code: adb pull /pathtofile/filename destinationname For instance, if I wanted to backup ADW launcher in system/app I would do this Code: adb pull /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk ADWLauncher.apk And it will pull the file from the phone and put it in the current directory. Like above, you can specifcy where it goes. Changing permissions We use something called chmod. This is used in this manner Code: adb shell su chmod 755 /pathtoapplication/applicationname An example Code: adb shell su chmod 755 /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk 755 is good for applications and script files. Remove an app from your phone This becomes especially handy for removing rogue applications. To do this, we must be in the adb shell. Code: adb shell su rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk You may first need to remount system as writable with: Code: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system That applies when using chmod as well. So what I did above was delete ADW Launcher from system/app Flash a recovery image to your phone First pace the recovery image in your sdcard root and rename it to recovery (so the full name will now be recovery.img) Code: adb shell su (prompt changes from $ to #) flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (wait till this# sign shows up again before you type the next command) reboot recovery Get your current battery level Code: adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity Get your current rom build Code: adb shell getprop ro.build.description If we want to merely reboot the phone Code: adb reboot If we want to go to recovery Code: adb reboot recovery Source and credit: XDA
