Requires you've got the adb binary on you device, though.

Well that's not quite what I am looking for...
That only kills/starts the adb binary not the adb daemon that runs on my phone. I would like to be able to restart services / daemons like on other distros of linux. As seen here: http://theos.in/desktop-linux/tip-that-matters/how-do-i-restart-linux-network-service/

Wow I couldn't find this anywhere for some reason but I tried start / stop commands and they worked ...
stop adbd
start adbd
restart adbd - otoh fails with: -- as does restart with other services such as restart mboxd
restart: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Starting adb ?!

Hi all!
I was using Modaco 2.9 before and it was amazing stable.
Later on I tryied [email protected] worked well, but not as stable as the modaco, so I thought lets change to the 3.0. Since that I have al lot system crashes, so I thought I need to do "deldalv and/or ext_wipe" with the RA-recovery-1.2.3
Figured out that it didnt work, it says I should use "adb deldalv"
I couldnt get the adb to run on my ubuntu linux, so I tried to find an update for the RA-recovery.
And there is RA-recovery-1.5.1 and I can just install it (cause I have a previous version) via adb.
Now My Question:
How does it work?!?
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb usb
error: insufficient permissions for device
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
[email protected]:~$ adb kill-server
[email protected]:~$ adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
[email protected]:~$ adb usb
error: insufficient permissions for device
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Code:
[email protected]:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules
#Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bb4:0c02
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS(idVendor)=="0bb4",MODE="0666"
How do I connect the device then, if not like that?
How can I test if everything works?
Thanks in advance

afaik this looks good, try starting adb as root. this is what adb devices says for me:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
HT98XXXX427 device
Code:
./adb start-server
./adb shell
works for me (with root ofcourse )
I set up my system so that the adb deamon starts at boot.
Created a script in the /etc/init.d directory called adb:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
/home/joeblow/AndroidSDK/tools/adb start-server
;;
stop)
/home/joeblow/AndroidSDK/tools/adb kill-server
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start|stop" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
Created a link to it in /etc/rc2.d:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-01-09 19:17 S10adb -> ../init.d/adb
Off Topic...
Am sorry to be a little off topic.. I just got my Hero and was trying to figure out all the stuff about it here on XDA.. Can anybody tell me what is ADB ??.. Whats it used for ??.. As far as I have understood, I think its some sorta software to connect hero to the computer to transfer files and stuff.. Is it right ??.. If yes.. Then what is the difference between this and HTC SYNC ??.. Thanks in advance.. Cheers !!!
if You want only transfer files, You don't need ADB.
htc sync is for synchronizing phone (contacts, calendar, etc) with PC (i guess, i don't use it ) and for upgrading SW.

"No such file or directory"...It looks like you may not have the photon-torpedo.tar in the correct folder on your computer. Did you put the downloaded file "photon-torpedo.tar" in your computer's directory c:/root ? The file has to be in the same folder so adb will know where to look to push it to the correct directory on the photon.
Yes it is in c:root along with the files of ADB

didn't have to do that, so i don't know what method your using
It's from edgan's original post when he found the root method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131
(I should have put the link in my previous post).
Anyway, I don't really know what it is, I just know how to follow directions and it worked for me. Guess you didn't need to do it, so I guess it's a moot point. Just thought that might be why the other poster was having such problems getting root to work.
By the way, thanks for posting the video.

native adb

Does anyone know how to connect your phone, to its own native adb. If your running 4.0 or better like the new 4.0.1 sense on evo 4g lte you have the native adb, in the terminal you can start it by typing adb start-server, but I cannot connect the phone to it.
This is nice to use to connect to other phones and use it as a debug station, but does anyone know how to connect to the phones adb server from the terminal on its own phone. When I start the server it says its listening on 5083 I have tried adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:55, tried adb tcpip 5555, but none of the forwarding ports seems to work. I have started adb on the phone and adb over wifi but still do not see the ip in adb.
Some help on this would be nice, I will keep thinking, but any help would be nice.
Some ideas might be to start a wifi server using the phones wifi tether, or hotspot to connect to itself
ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev eth0
ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev wlan0
maybe we can manually add and connect the devices threw wifi hotspot or tether with this. someone want to take this on and get back to me
Screen shot..
https://www.dropbox.com/sc/69v6co2l4nrd8qg/0PQqlpzI1M
I got the sdk runing natively following this..... http://fieldefect.info/w/NativeCompileAPK
he uses qemu-user-static and an i386 chroot to run the SDK, done natively on arm debian chroot.
I prefer to use multistrap over debootstrap, also I modify his run-i386 scripts to work with x86_64 chroot.
I connect adb to adbd like so,
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
adb connect 127.0.0.1
then try
adb shell
or
adb devices
to confirm.
My screenshot has some output from netstat which may answer your questions about ips/ports. you can see localhost
is listening on both 5038 and 5037. port 5037 belongs to adbd. adb will connect to 127.0.0.1:5037 but only gives errors.
PM me if you have questions ill gladly help.
Yea I have a chrooted ubuntu 10.04 img that I have mounted, I was going to do it that way install the sdk and use the localhost. but I was hoping to keep the chroot out of it. At least it works that way very nice. Only reason I didnt want to use a chroot is its gonna be alot of switching between terminals, was hoping for easy way to use 1 terminal. I suppose i can use 2 windows on the one terminal.
Thanks for the post.

Of course that happens when you run adb shell you are entering in your phone using the debbuging shell. You are in your phone. This happens to me also when i am using adb shell no devices will be shown. If you can run any command from adb shell then your device is there. Nothing to worry about. It is normal.
If you disconnect your device when in adb shell you will see it will automatically exit the shell!
Hit Thanks if i helped you!

How to turn on and off the WiFi through ADB (no root)?

I found I can use these ADB commands to turn on and of the WiFi of a rooted phone:
Code:
adb shell su -c 'svc wifi enable'
adb shell su -c 'svc wifi disable'
However, I'm interested in doing it without having to root the phone for an automatic testing I'm doing. Do you guys know if this is possible?
I found this project which allows me to connect to a WiFi through ADB commands not being a root user. I was wondering if anyone knows how to disconnect also from ADB and not being a root user.
UPDATE:
I've been recently trying:
Code:
C:\adb>adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings }
Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
and
Code:
C:\adb>adb -s serial_number shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings }
Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
I also found doing this type of command:
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 20 & adb shell input keyevent 23
I can navigate and click. The problem seems to be that I always finish in a different state so the next time I input the command
Code:
adb -s serial_number shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
I start in a different place and start clicking elsewhere. I've tried returning home, but that doesn't fix the issue. Is there any way to start always from the same point inside the WiFi settings?
Thanks!

Turn WiFi off
Code:
adb shell settings put global airplane_mode_on 1
adb shell settings put global wifi_on 0
adb shell settings put global wifi_scan_always_enabled 0
Afterwards you've to re-boot the device.

Thank you, but those don't produce any change on my device. Actually, if I put the first two commands without doing "adb kill-server" in between, I get this message:

This opens the screen where you can turn on and off the WiFi but it doesn't do it...not sure if I'm missing something!
Just to be shure, make shure your using the latest version of ADB offered by google here:
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
You could use adb wifi
After activating when using usb it and connecting through the same wifi:
svc wifi enable
works without root
I'm a little late to this thread, but if it still helps the OP, non-rooted Android 10 and below allowed wireless adb connections AFTER a USB connection was first established (adb start-server && adb tcpip 5555 && adb connect [IP]:5555), but that changed (for the better) in Android 11 and above with the new new Developer options Wireless debugging random port assignments (adb connect [IP]:[PORT] or adb pair [IP]:[PORT] [PIN]) such that the adb wireless connection never needs USB cable ever again.
Given Android 11 allows Developer options Wireless debugging via a random port, and Android 12 new Developer options Wireless debugging allows that to be accessed even easier with a new Developer options Wireless debugging tile, the only thing missing is a way to turn the non-rooted Android Wi-Fi on or off via adb (which was the OP's original question after all).
Maybe this will work if we can figure out how to tap the buttons?
adb shell "am start -a android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For swiping on the phone from adb this works...
C:\> adb shell input swipe 500 1000 500 100
This will instantly swipe from center to the top of the screen.
You can add a time period, e.g., take 3 seconds to swipe that.
C:\> adb shell input swipe 500 1000 500 100 3000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But you want to tap the buttons, right?
If we can figure out the positions, maybe this would work?
C:\> adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity
That should pop up an Android "Reset Advertising ID" settings page.
C:\> adb shell input tap 500 400
If run after the command above, that will tap the button to
asking to "Opt out of Ads Personalization" in that Activity
if that button is like mine, at the X=500 & Y=400 location.
On my phone, this is the "Reset advertising ID" button location:
adb shell input tap 500 200
On my phone, this is the "OK" button on that GUI above.
adb shell input tap 700 1000
C:\> adb shell am force-stop com.google.android.gms
If run after bringing up the advertising-id reset Activity,
it will close the activity without doing anything else.

Here is a somewhat related post...
[adb,scrcpy,vysor] What ports does Android 12 randomly set when Wi-Fi connecting via Wireless debugging adb "pair" or "connect" commands?
Type adb tcpip 5555 in the command line or Terminal and press Enter.
Find your phone's IP address in Settings > About Phone > Status > IP Address.
Back in the command line or Terminal, type adb connect [your Android's IP address].
Finally, press Enter again.
