At my university, the lab computers are locked down and won't allow the installation of Android's USB drivers. This prevents adb from connecting to the ADP1 via USB, but I can use another computer which does have USB permissions and use
to restart adbd in TCP listen mode on port 2222. Then, on a lab computer I can connect to the ADP1 using
and install packages, open a shell, etc.
My question is, how can adbd be preconfigured on the ADP1 to listen on a specified port on boot, instead of waiting for a USB connection and the above two commands?
This is "insecure" but it doesn't matter because the lab computers and wireless network are private, and the ADP1 has no SIM card and connects to the internet only via WiFi.
It seems that one way to do this involves editing the boot image to modify init.rc --- I'm prepared to do that, but I'm hesitant to spend the time trying it because I can't find any documentation saying what port adbd will listen on by default, or if it will listen on TCP at all.
tl;dr: Instructions on how to start adbd on boot in TCP listen mode? Thanks.
Code:
adb tcpip 2222
to restart adbd in TCP listen mode on port 2222. Then, on a lab computer I can connect to the ADP1 using
Code:
adb connect <IP>:2222
and install packages, open a shell, etc.
