[HOW TO] Basic ADB Commands

[...:::SALMA:::...]

If you find this helpful or think it would be helpful to others, tip it for a sticky!


Here's a little guide I put together for you to learn basic adb commands.


I'm posting this thread assuming you already have your SDK set up

^ I believe there is a sticky right below/above this thread on how to do so ^


With that said, let's dive right in!



1. Turn on ADB

Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging


2. Running ADB

Open up command prompt and type your way to the directory you have your SDK in.

Mine is in C:\

So for example, mine would be: cd c:\AndroidSDK/tools

You are now in


3. Basic ADB commands

ADB push (sends files to your phone) -- adb push c:\example.apk /sdcard/example.apk

ADB pull (Receives files from your phone) -- adb pull /system/app/example.apk c:\example.apk

ADB install (installs application) -- adb install c:\example.apk

adb shell (Begins shell connection with phone)

adb reboot (reboots phone)

adb reboot recovery (reboots phone into recovery)

adb reboot bootloader (reboots the phone into bootloader/the white screen)

adb remount (remounts the system)


4. Commands to run while in ADB Shell

cd (changes directories) -- cd /system/app

ls (lists all files in the directory) -- cd /system/app

rm (removes files) -- rm /system/app/example.apk

cp (copies files) similar to cat -- cp /system/app/example.apk /sdcard/example.apk

cat (copies files) -- cat /system/app/example.apk > /sdcard/example.apk

exit (exits shell) -- exit


Might add a little more later if requested.

Hope you learned something!

Better is to type in cmd the comand adb help
and there will be all available comands;
better is to proceed like this instead to search and waste time.
