[Q] Dumping/Reading PC Memory via Android Device - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've been looking around to see if it possible to read a computer's process memory from a connected Android device. I know ADB allows you to modify things (on your device) via the computer's command line, but in reverse, how much control can you have over your computer. An end goal would be for me to read a process's memory (that's running on my computer) solely from my connected phone or tablet. Is this sort of thing even possible?
EDIT: I was just using ADB as an example. I know it's not capable of doing such a thing. Just trying to explain the concept.
Thanks!

hardware based data transfer

Hi!
I want to use my G1 to do some special measurements. For this purpose I've created a microcontroller board (Atmel ATmega8) that does that. Now I want to transfer the data the board collected to the Android phone.
Because of the high powerconsumption the G1 has while Bluetooth is on this isn't a real alternative for me - the measurements will last about 2 - 3 hours.
I'm not experienced concerning hardware access within Linux and Android but thought there might be a possibility to gain a kind of low level access to the USB port. I do neither need high bandwith nor real USB functionality - so might it be possible to create an own kind of bus using that interface? Do you have any other idea?
Thank you in advance!
If you use micro linux system, the ones that are like a usb port, a network jack and a vga connecter, you could script some adb commands and have it run every few seconds to upload the data, not an ideal solution. As far as I know the g1 doesn't support host mode. But if you have a micro linux computer in the middle, it could work.
Something like this

I'm sure there are other ways to do it, maybe check there how to make a serial port thread a few pages back in the dev section.

[Q] Any way to use the phone while using MTP?

Is there any real purpose to the phone locking up whenever you are transferring files? It's not like it doesn't work, because I can still text and access the file system using Airdroid, and yet the stupid thing won't even allow me to go the homescreen or even pull down the notification bar when it's active.
Is there any way to transfer files via USB without their built in MTP application?
Anymore I just use the OTG cable to plug in flash drives directly to the S3.
I got a powered hub and can sport a few at once.
Makes life so much easier.
Unless on linux, interacting with a pc is beyond aggravating for this device.

Unlock help on misc device

I have a device that's evidently called an Edge Mini tablet purchased from the prison system while I was incarcerated. Known issues are battery explosions as mine did. All I have is a circuit board in which Device Manager on pc recognizes something briefly and disappears.
I spent nearly $2k on music and would like to find help on retrieving it somehow.
All I know is that it has a custom Android build and and i cannot view the device on its screen, however thr computer reads it.
Much help needed!

I have never heard of the device that you are using, after doing a quick google search it seems that you should probably contact a business called the keefe group. They are the distributors and provide support for that proprietary device.

Here is the User manual: https://fccid.io/2AHUC-EDGEMINI-AA/User-Manual/User-manual-3073167
If all you have is the circuit board , then most likely your chances are recovering encrypted data are not good at all.
Ideally, you would need to boot into the system and enter developer options, turn on USB debugging, allow an external device MTC connection etc., which allows you to connect to your PC.
On the other hand, its an older Operating system, with less secure software. Perhaps, for a technicians easy access the steps I listed above have already been setup. If so, try downloading the USB driver for that device, and then reboot your PC. If the issue is a driver issue, you should now have access to the internal storage and will be able to copy over your files, by connecting the board to your desktop, using the usb power cable. If the PC reads the device, you should be able to see the internal storage by going to this PC, and it would be under device and drives.
Are you sure that your files are not backed up to a server that you can remotely access? Worst case, I would look into that option.
Good luck.

Connect emulated device on Linux to a car (Android Auto)

Hi!
I'm trying to establish a connection between an Android Virtual Device and a car. The goal is to run the AVD on a Linux laptop and connect it to the car via USB. Ideally the AVD would recognize the car's HU (and also the other way around) which should make it possible to use Android Auto.
I read a lot about the Android Open Accessory Protocol and how the connection is established. I also found posts about people tunneling USB connections from a Linux host to an Emulator using the command below:
emulator @AVDname -qemu -usb -device usb-ehci.id=ehci -device usb-host,vendorid=0x----,productid=0x----
Some also say you need to build a custom kernel beforehand so that USB on the Emulator is enabled in the first place. So far the Linux machine doesn't recognize the HU at all, which makes it impossible to use the USB tunnel since I don't know the vendor and device id.
The HU probably acts as host and expects a device, so does the Linux machine. This is somehow where my progress stopped.
Does someone know if that kind of connection is even possible with a emulated device? Do AVD's support the Accessory Mode in the first place? Is there a way around this Host to Host problem?
Any hints or ideas would mean a lot to me!

ADB-OTG app problem,connect my tablet with moto android phone through OTG cable, but no response

I know this Question sounds amateur, but need help here.
I try to access the tablet files through an OTG cable connect to an android moto g play phone,run android 11, under the otg file explorer, shows there is an OTG icon name Mediatek, which is exact the tablet's chipboard, but after I click it, show empty. I had already enable the USB debugging under the developer option.
This task require without PC and without a rooted phone.
Thank your all.
Why not connect PC and phone via ADB and run
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "cd / & ls -1"
I'm a newbie here, I connect the phone and tablet by using an app name adb OTG, it runs adb command without PC and root phone, it detect the tablet's but shows empty under the app
Never used ADB-OTG app. IDK how it works.
And I don't want to occupy with this.
This task require no PC involved.
Need help here
My recommendation: Change thread's title to "ADB-OTG app problem" thus people making use of this app get addressed.
Thanks for that
Still need help here
tablets is build on 2015 name score c7, cheap one, sell inside the prison and charge $10 for a movie to view per time. Yep.. they making a killing on it.
Connect the tablet and phone through the OTG cable, using file explorer and ADB app both detected the tablet, but won't read the files inside the hard drive. Shows empty.
The goal is try to write file into the tablet so able to watch the movie for free on the tablet
Could anyone point a direction what I should try next to solve the problem?
Thanks
