MTP and ADB on switch

[Roy8765]

Hi all,

so i have got android installed on my switch but cannot seem to get the usb to work at all for ADB and MTP.

the switch does not show anything when it is connected by usb and it does not appear in device manager or adb on the host machine.

i have enabled developer mode and debug over USB.
i have tried to connect to ADB via the network but this lead to the authentication failing

does anyone have any ideas of what could be the issue?

I looked at lsusb on my Linux machine and it shows as a USB serial device, so I looked at the serial terminal and it doesn't print anything, so I guess you won't get USB to work, but you might be able to get WiFi adb to work but I haven't

Thank you that is greatly important stuff to know.

The issues I am having with ADB over network is that it requires the device to be trusted which first needs to be done over USB.

It could be done using root but I can not seem to enable root on this version of Android.

Just flash magisk, it's what I did and now I have root.
