Using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

using the adb tool you can shell into the running emulator, or any
real device connected through USB.

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
0000021459584822 device
emulator-5556 offline

$adb -s 0000021459584822 shell

$id

$su

device manufacturers have been very reluctant for various reasons to


give root access to their devices and have put in a number of
provisions to make that as difficult as possible, if not impossible.
That’s why “rooting” devices is held up as a holy grail by many power
users and hackers.

$adb logcat
to dump the data contained in the main logger buffer

copy files to and from the device:


$ adb push data.txt /data/local
$ adb pull /proc/config.gz

$ adb kill-server
to start the adb server manually,
$adb start-server

$adb version

remote device whose adbd daemon is running on TCP/IP


instead of USB, you can use the connect command:

$ adb connect 192.168.202.79:7878

$adb -s 192.168.202.79:7878 shell

$ adb disconnect 192.168.202.79:7878

inquire about a device’s status, type:


$ adb -s 0123456789ABCDEF get-state

$cat /proc/cpuinfo

$adb reboot
$adb reboot recovery

$ls
$cd data

$ls
/anr ANR traces.
/app Default install location for apps.
/backup For use by the BackupManager system service.
/dalvik-cache Holds the cached JIT’ed b versions of all dex files.
/data Contains one subdirectory for each app installed on the system. In

installed packages.
