Android Debug Bridge ReverseTethering Edition version 1.0.32
-a - directs adb to listen on all interfaces for a

connection
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is
present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is
running.
-s <specific device> - directs command to the device or emulator with the
given
serial number or qualifier. Overrides
ANDROID_SERIAL
environment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or a
relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must

be an absolute path.
-H - Name of adb server host (default: localhost)
-P - Port of adb server (default: 5037)
devices [-l] - list all connected devices
('-l' will also list device qualifiers)
connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is
specified.
disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is
specified.
Using this command with no additional arguments
will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devices.
device commands:
adb push [-p] <local> <remote>
- copy file/dir to device
('-p' to display the transfer progress)
adb pull [-p] [-a] <remote> [<local>]
- copy file/dir from device
('-p' to display the transfer progress)
('-a' means copy timestamp and mode)
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(-l means list but don't copy)
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward --list - list all forward socket connections.
the format is a list of lines with the following
format:
<serial> " " <local> " " <remote> "\n"
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb forward --no-rebind <local> <remote>
- same as 'adb forward <local> <remote>' but fails
if <local> is already forwarded
adb forward --remove <local> - remove a specific forward socket connection
adb forward --remove-all - remove all forward socket connections
adb reverse --list - list all reverse socket connections from device
adb reverse <remote> <local> - reverse socket connections

reverse specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
adb reverse --norebind <remote> <local>
- same as 'adb reverse <remote> <local>' but fails
if <remote> is already reversed.
adb reverse --remove <remote>
- remove a specific reversed socket connection
adb reverse --remove-all - remove all reversed socket connections from device
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-lrtsd] <file>

adb install-multiple [-lrtsdp] <file...>
- push this package file to the device and install
it
(-l: forward lock application)
(-r: replace existing application)
(-t: allow test packages)
(-s: install application on sdcard)
(-d: allow version code downgrade)
(-p: partial application install)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-obb|-noobb] [-shared|-noshared] [-all]

[-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]
- write an archive of the device's data to <file>.
If no -f option is supplied then the data is
written
to "backup.ab" in the current directory.
(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks
themselves
in the archive; the default is noapk.)
(-obb|-noobb enable/disable backup of any
installed apk expansion
(aka .obb) files associated with each
application; the default
is noobb.)
(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the
device's
shared storage / SD card contents; the default
is noshared.)
(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all
automatically includes
system applications; the default is to include
system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be
backed up. If
the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the
package
list is optional. Applications explicitly
given on the
command line will be included even if -nosys
tem would
ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)
adb restore <file> - restore device contents from the <file> backup
archive
adb disable-verity - disable dm-verity checking on USERDEBUG builds

adb keygen <file> - generate adb public/private key. The private key
is stored in <file>,
and the public key is stored in <file>.pub. Any
existing files
are overwritten.
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb get-devpath - prints: <device-path>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified
device
adb remount - remounts the /system and /vendor (if present)
partitions on the device read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the
bootloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the
specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]

<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, /system, /vendor (if present), and /data pa

rtitions will be updated.
- If it is "system", "vendor" or "data", only the corresponding partition

is updated.
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of
the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync,
sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority
over this if given.
ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these debug
tags are printed.
