I want to check a file in a sdcard but I have to use ADB.
I made this :
adb shell ls $EXTERNAL_STORAGE
It prompts me a list of directories but it's not my sdCard.
How can I find a file in my sdcard using adb ?
#paralleles. You can use the following adb command below to check if an external storage card exists:
adb shell echo /$EXTERNAL_STORAGE
If the above command executes successfully, you'll see a similar output as below :
Alternatively you can start an adb shell session and traverse the directory so as to find the desired file in your sdcard as follows :
adb shell
cd $EXTERNAL_STORAGE
If the above commands executes successfully, you'll see a similar output as below (depending on the files/folders in your SdCard):

I was trying to install a gsi with DSU sideloader. It needs me to type a command using adb to initialize the installation. But I keep getting this error while running the adb shell command on my pc
adb shell sh/storage
/system/bin/sh: sh/storage: inaccessible or not found
The actual command was adb shell sh/storage/emulated/0/Dsu/workspace_dsuhelper/install
Which also results in the same error: /system/bin/sh: sh/storage/emulated/0/Dsu/workspace_dsuhelper/install : inaccessible or not found.
I know that /storage/emulated/0... exists but I am unable to access it. What could be the issue?
use this command to get the storage status
adb shell df /data
When I try to pull a file using adb pull <file>, it used to be automatically saved in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Now, whenever I use the same command, it's saved in C:\Users\khibr\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot. I can't remember if I did anything to change the path, but I want to change it back. is There any way to do so?
you can always use the following syntax to change where you want the file to be stored after the pull command.
adb pull file.txt C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Another way to do this is to open the command prompt from the directory where you want to pull the files to.
C:\Users\purpl\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>ADB SHELL RM /DATA/SYSTEM/PASSWORD.KEY
adb: usage: unknown command SHELL
This line should run android sdk, but it doesn't and comes up with this
Unlike Windows file system adb commands are case-sensitive even on Windows.
For a program I am using ADB to transfer a file from the computer to mobile phone.
Using adb push overwrites every existent file and thus takes ages to finish.
adb sync does only push the file if it exists on the phone AND contains other data than the local version.
Is there any midway solution? I want the file to be transferred if it doesn't exist or is changed, but not, if it is the same as on the computer. Is there a way to achieve this?
The best way to do this is to first check if the file exists and if it does then sync it and if it does not then push.
Skeleton for a batch script to do this:
FILENAME_RESULT=$(adb shell ls / | tr -d '\015'|grep '^fileName$')
if [ -z "$FILENAME_RESULT" ];
then
REM adb push because the file was not found
else
REM adb sync because the file was found
fi
adb push --sync /local/file /sdcard/remote/file
From adb --help
adb push [--sync] [-zZ] LOCAL... REMOTE copy local files/directories to device --sync: only push files that are newer on the host than the device. -z: enable compression -Z: disable compression
There's a really easy way to do this with adb-sync (https://github.com/google/adb-sync).
adb-sync is a tool to synchronize files between a PC and an Android device using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge).
I am currently developing a android app and I am debugging wireless.
Every time I want to do this, I need to open the cmd in a specific direction and type:
adb
adb connect 'some ip'
adb is a exe and adb connect is some command in adb.exe
I was trying to write a simple bat file for this and I found this on the internet:
START C:\Andriod\adb.EXE
As you know, this only starts the adb.
I could not find how to call this command, propbably because I do not know the correct name for it. Can someone help me?
Use CALL command like this in batch:
#echo off
call C:\Andriod\adb.EXE
adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] shell
adb connect {ip:host}
