[Heads Up] ADB from the Xoom

[Jewremy]

Hey guys.

Just a heads up, the Xoom can run ADB natively. Full ADB. Haven't tested it over USB Host, but it works with ADBwireless.

Doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but it does work. Try ADB devices from a terminal on your xoom.

Meaning that the Xoom can run ADB, just like your computer. Pull APKs, ringtones, media, whatever over wifi.

EDIT: These commands should make it work without the apk.

To trigger adb wifi on your phone/non-Xoom:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

To stop adb wifi and return to USB listening:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd

To connect:

adb connect [IPAddress]:[port]

For example, adb connect 192.168.1.4:5555

Or from USB on your comp:

adb tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.0.101:5555

To get back to USB mode:

adb usb

thats awesome thanks!

good to know thanks

you could also use adbwireless from the market to do the same thing
it's a lot easier, I think.

 

[Jewremy]

Yes, but some of us don't feel like paying...or just prefer command line. :]

What is included in the sdk on the xoom? I know that you can build apps from the command line on windows and linux. I think that this function would really be what I need to buy a tablet (again). Or you might be able to borrow things from the linux sdk.

Someone should take these commands and put them together into one easy to use app and launch it on the market. Many would benefit from one click type methods to natively run adb commands from the Xoom. If someone would be willing to do that of course. I'm just sayin'.

 

[ftgg99]

yep, weve been using the functionality for a while now!

you should also look into moto utils, which come preinstalled on the xoom and can do all sorts of funky stuff!

search "adb wireless"，you can get this awesome free app, it has a widget built-in.
and born at a bit long ago.

So I checked out the field utils...

Apparently the Xoom has a WCDMA component? That's HSPA+ if I'm right...further supported in the iFixIt teardown.

Turned off the GSM functionality (on by default), hoping it'll save battery...not that I can complain. Battery life on this thing kicks ass.

Here's my question: Does it have an IMEI? As in can I put an AT&T SIM in there and it'll work? I'll try testing it out later. Might be time to pull out the ole' faraday cage...

 

[RinTinTigger]

schould get the commands into scripts, executable from a homescreen/the app drawer


@oshigeru YES it has an IMEI. If the AT&T Sim is on CDMA, you should have no problem to use it on the xoom, cuz i can see no restriction/branding/something on it

Gscript should be able to do it.

AT&T on cdma? Lolwut?

It has an MEID that looks one hell of a lot like an imei, but I can't see an imei anywhere in the tablet. I don't know if the sim slot is active or not. (3g version.)

I know this is an older thread but I need some direction in how to get adb in xoom to recognize my NS4G device when plugged in via usbOTG. Is it possible?
