First, a little about ADB. ADB on Ubuntu allows you to:
- View all! folders on your tablet
- View tablet logs.
- Copy files from tablet and on him.
- Install/Remove applications on your tablet.
- Implement various control scripts.
- Change/add/edit various files on the tablet
- and much more.
Setting up and installing ADB on Ubuntu
First, install the Android SDK in Ubuntu. To do this, open the terminal in Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/sdk
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install android-sdk
After all packages have been downloaded, a new folder android-sdk-linux will appear in the Ubuntu home folder.
Let's go to it. Write in the terminal
cd android-sdk-linux/tools/
press enter, then
./android
Android SDK manager will open
We put a tick next to Tools and install 2 packages. That's all.
Now you need to log in as root in the terminal. If you have never done this before, then first set a new password for root
sudo passwd root
Now we log in as root and move to the platform-tools directory
cd android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/
And we get access to the device via ADB on Ubuntu
./adb shell
The inscription will appear
root@android:/
That's it! We're back in. Now you can view and modify files on your device using lunix commands
Note: If the inscription is displayed error: insufficient permissions for device or adb does not see devices in Ubuntu
Then you need to restart adb server
./adb kill-server ./adb start-server
