The micro-USB port of my Xperia Arc with ICS it's broken. How can I enter to ADB by wireless, without connecting the cable? I am not root, and I need to enter to ADB to root my phone. I can connect to my phone from my PC by SSH. Or there's a another way to root it?

Is there a way to use adb directly via bluetooth instead of always via usb?  --  Thanks for the adb wireless solutions below, but I am looking for something that works well on hotel or public wifi. Bluetooth short-range might be the only way to go about it.

Right now I have in my phone the stock rom and I haven't rooted it. I want to root it and change the rom.    What should I do first, root or flash the rom? I don't want to lose all the configuration, apps, apps data or files (images, music, videos, etc in the SD). How can I do to be sure to avoid this? I want to make sure I can go back to the stock rom if I need, is there any special thing I should do?   If its relevant, I have a Samsung Galaxy I5510.  Thanks!

I've tried almost any method to root my ASUS ZenFone Live, but no one seems to work. Also I only need root, no unlocked bootloader (don't want to wipe data) or custom recovery (not essential ATM).

I was messing around with a USB camera. I wanted to change the cable because is trimmed but as I was cutting it I saw a small thing (image below). As I was trying to cut the casing and see what it has inside I saw a spark. I tried to connect it with another cable but I don't know if I'm gonna damage the camera or the USB port.    What is it and can I connect the camera without it?

So, yesterday my phone took a serious tumble.  It is now essentially useless, as the screen either fails to turn on, or when it does, there is nothing useful to see (just lines of primary colors, mostly).  I believe (from the fact that it still chirps at me when emails come in, etc), that the phone is still functional, otherwise.  I would like to perform a full system dump, so that I can get off any files from the phone (a TMobile SGS2 (hercules) running slimrom 4.3 build 1).  The sdcard probably isn't important, as I can just pull it, but the phone's own internal storage I should like to get a copy of.  When I plug the phone into a usb port, it 'mounts' the usb via MTP, and I can see all the files.  Unfortunately, when I do a select all | copy | paste operation, the paste op dies before transferring all files.  I've tried a couple other ADB shell operations, in hope of flipping regular USB mounting on, but nothing has worked.  Any ideas how I can get a full dump of my poor phone's contents?  Edit  Currently running a adb pull /sdcard/ ... Its copying files presently, but its too early to tell if its going to get evertying I'm expecting.  Edit #2  looks like its going to work...its taking a rather long time, but it appears to be grabbing everything I was expecting it to.

I got an old phone: an HTC WildFire S. Everything works fine, except that the power button has gone bad. Can I start the phone from my computer over a USB connection somehow?

This is a common question asked by those who want to root their phones. How exactly do I root my Android device? Are there risks involved?

do you have some informations about Ubuntu phone at the moment?  I saw few articles about Ubuntu Edge but I thought that it is dead. Also I saw for UBPorts with Ubuntu Touch.  I was really interested for project Ubuntu Edge. So my question, is there some idea of ubuntu phones in 2019 or everything is dead?

There doesn't seem to be a chromium (or Google Chrome) port available in Ubuntu Touch (OTA10.1, bq M10). Does one exist, or are there any plans to have one (even without touch / small screen optimizations)?

I used Link2SD and Titanium too. Both of them failed. I want to convert a GPS Spoofer to system app. I tried to move it manually,  but in all 3 cases, the app is completely removed from the drawer. Is there any method?  I am on Samsung J200G rooted with TWRP flashing.

I recently installed  7.1 on my  and I have some problems now to get  on my Windows 7 64-bit computer to recognize the device.  Currently, adb devices returns no entry for my phone and the  shows a device called "Galaxy S" but with a yellow exclamation mark because a driver is missing.  I've tried to install  as well as the Google USB driver for Windows Revision 4 and point the device manager at the directories with those drivers. It doesn't find anything it can use there.  Which drivers do I actually need for the phone now that it is running CyanogenMod 7.1? And where do I get those and how can I install them?

I bought an Android phone and the vendor does not offer any drivers whatsoever. The Android SDK and the drivers that come with it don't seem to work with the device, but the device itself reports as Android 2.2.1.   Other users have reported that the drivers of the Nook Color worked for them, but I cannot confirm this, after trying.  What options do I have to connect to the device (and ultimately to root it)?  Is it truly just the .inf file that I need to manipulate in order to make the device ID known to Windows? After all there are tools to figure out those strings while the device is connected (although "unknown") ...  The model in question is a Simvalley SP-60 GPS.  Note: The OS I need drivers for is either Windows 7 x64 or, if anyone has successfully done that, Windows XP 32bit (under VMware with the USB device connected to it).

I understand that you can completely "brick" (render unusuable) your iPhone by attempting to Jailbreak incorrectly.  Whether or not this is actually the case, is it possible to do the same with your Android phone?  Or is the nature of that operating system and the handsets such that you can always install a new ROM on it if everything goes pear-shaped?  I assume there could be a difference due to how closely the iPhone is tied to iTunes, compared to how independent Android phones seem.

I am having a really hard time finding anything about this on Google which is not from 2011. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+. I have rooted it with Magisk without TWRP, i.e. no custom recovery or custom kernel. I want OTA updates without having to delete everything on my phone just to update, that is why I use Magisk without TWRP.   What I need is drivers for my WiFi adapter TP-Link TL-WN7220. I know that to be able to install a driver into the kernel, that means a custom kernel and then you would not be able to have OTA updates which defeats the above purpose.  My question is, is there a way to load a driver, even if it is temporary like loading a kernel module on Linux? On Linux this does not require a reboot, can this be done similarly on Android, so I will keep my stock kernel but still be able to run the WiFi adapter?

I'm trying to connect adb to my Android device in the Windows 10 Ubuntu shell, but it doesn't seem to be working:    adb does work normally on Windows, so it's not a problem with the phone or the connection.  Do I have to do something like mount the port in the Ubuntu shell?  How?  (The goal is to pass logcat to grep, which would obviously work better in Ubuntu.)
