In this guide I will show you how to use adb to move files to or from your device. Especially helpful if your device has MTP and you can't get it to work with mtpfs on GNU/Linux.
What do you need?
Computer with GNU/Linux.
Connection to the Internet.
The 32bit adb binary or the 64bit adb binary, they are added as attachment to this post. (1)
An Android phone with USB debugging on.
Steps:
Connect your phone with a USB cable to your computer. Make sure you have USB debugging on! (2) Put the adb binary in a folder where you can open a terminal. With the terminal open type:
Code:
./adb devices
Make sure it says something like this:
Code:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXdevice
Now you know you properly connected your device type:
Code:
./adb pull /sdcard/
or
Code:
./adb push /sdcard/
More info on adb commands you can find here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
(1): If you are using the Debian or Ubuntu distro (or another wich allows you to install *.deb files) you can install the 32- or 64 bit adb packages and use adb from every folder. Download them from the attachments. If you use this type adb instead of ./adb.
(2): Don't know how to turn on USB debugging? Go to settings, scroll down to the About phone menu item. Tap it and scroll down again to Build number and tap it many times! Then go to settings, and tap developer options and find the USB debugging option.
I hope this was helpful, but I think not, because I get no replies...
AW: [GUIDE] MTP doesn't work for you on GNU/Linux? Use adb.

I usually use sftp to transfer files. No cable and shell access included.

If you want to copy lots of files, like your music collection or movies, wireless is not fast enough. That's why I use adb, because it's very fast.
ATTENTION: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
It has come to my attention that under certain circumstances when the Kindle HD's get stuck in a bootloader bootloop the information on the "boot0" block of the internal storage can be ERASED and RESET.
This partition is special and contains ALL of your device's hardware specific information:
- Wifi MAC address + Encoded Secret for registering w/ Amazon services
- BT MAC address
- Serial #
etc
FOR BACKING UP THIS PARTITION:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img
Place the "boot0block.img" file with the other files that you backed up in the original instructions for safe keeping.
FOR RESTORING THIS PARTITION:
(do not do this unless you are absolutely SURE that your boot0 block got wiped out -- hopefully you never need to)
This is done via adb from your PC while the device is in TWRP recovery or in the Android OS (not fastboot):
Code:
cd <your safekeeping files>
adb push boot0block /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb shell "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro; dd if=/sdcard/boot0block.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0;"
THIS FILE IS UNIQUE TO YOUR DEVICE AND CANNOT BE REPLACED OR REBUILT FROM ANOTHER DEVICE. DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE AS IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE USED BY AMAZON DURING REGISTRATION.
very interesting Hashcode,thanks for the information :good:
Odd, I can't seem to find the file after I pulled it with ADB.
EDIT: I didn't even assign the command an output location to begin with. LOL.
Thanks for the info.
How can I access KFHD via ADB if CM10.1 installed.
I can't see my device in device manager only as a media storage or sth like that.
Should I remove KFHD adb driver and install the google driver?
Or just using the hidden trick in cm10.1?
"Enable Developer options in your phone (Settings > About phone and tap Build Number until you are a developer (about 7 times)
Set root access for APPS and ADB in: Settings > Developer Options > Root Access
Enable Android debugging at the same page (Developer Options). Enable ADB over network if you need.
Check if your Settings > Security > Unknown Sources is checked. you will need it to install over ADB."
Yeah...it helped

Just turn on ADB debugging on the tablet, and plug it into the computer. On the computer, open command prompt, use the command "adb devices" to see if your ADB is working.
Other than that, I don't know what happened in your post.
Ok i really can't figure this one out, I used adb many times while testing KFFAide tool so I am 100% sure my adb drivers are installed correctly, But since i switched to cm10.1 (Thanks hashcode) ADB cannot recognize my device anymore, I have enabled ADB on my KFHD and when i connect it to my pc a small notification appears "Android debugging enabled" but when i use "adb devices" command nothing shows up!
Can anyone help me with this i'm completely lost here!

Leave the device plugged in, go to Developer Setting and uncheck ADB debugging, then check it again. You should see a prompt, select OK for both.

Why don't you guys try this, go into CMD while connected with the device (ADB debugging on), and type "adb devices" to start the daemon, then try the commands. Other than that, I don't know what else to do.

Nope. Just get "List of Devices Attached" but no serial number. Checked device manager and it's showing up as a portable device. Probably will reinstall them and see if that solves it.
On a side note:
if we ran these commands in terminal emulator on the device, would that be sufficient?

Yes
run the first command then pull it manually
But we need to know what's going on, i will need adb sometime soon when prokennexusa releases the next version of KFFAide

Normally you would notice WiFi doesn't work under any circumstances same for BT. And when on Amazon's software it won't let you register.

I can't get ADB to find it either, think i'll revert back to stock to get the file then go back to CM - I notice though on CM turning USB Debugging on doesn't change anything in device manager, it still stays connected as a media device or camera, depending on which you have ticked in storage setting *shrugs*
Thank you Hashcode

No don't, just type the command hashcode provided in terminal emulator and you'll find the backup in your sdcard, just copy it to your pc like normal!
You can do it from the terminal without typing ADB. that may be why people are confused. Start with hashcodes command but start with "su -c" in the terminal.

Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)
However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk
With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
Anyone got this working for ColorOS 13?
When I run:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
I get a message saying the package can't be found???
