For ADB (which I do not use) you can type a single command like this adb shell sh after connecting your device with USB cable.

Hi AL.

So I just need to install the adb package on my PC?

Is the adb shell sh run from my PC?

@nero355 Hi Nero. Thanks but I'll stick to the simpler method for now.

Merry Xmas!

@opolork
Yes you should open a console and type it on your computer with the device attached to it.

@applee Ok, cheers, AL.

Merry Xmas!

I got this:

adb shell sh

error: no devices/emulators found

@opolork
Did you Enable Developer Mode and USB Debugging ?!

[Opolork]

@nero355 Hi. Dev mode is enabled. I don't see any option to enable USB debugging.

Edit: I did a reboot and was then able to run adb shell sh to connect to the phone from my PC. The shell doesn't seem to have tab auto complete. Also when I opened a text file on the phone, I couldn't save any changes I made in nano (Ctrl-x did nothing).

@opolork
Which file were you editing ??

Perhaps because the system needs to be remounted in write mode in order to edit certain files ?

@nero355 I was trying to edit the hosts file. How do I remount it in write mode?

The easiest way :

• Install UT Tweak Tool from the OpenStore
• Choose "System" from the top left menu.
• Choose "Make image writeable"
• Pick any of the two other options!

@nero355 Thanks and Happy NY.
