Enabling logcat loggingThe Android logging system provides a mechanism for collecting and viewing system debug output. Logs from various applications and portions of the system are collected in a series of circular buffers, which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command.You can use the logcat command to view and follow the contents of the system's log buffers. The general usage is:[adb] logcat [option] ... [filter-spec] ...You can use the logcat command from your development computer or from a remote adb shell in an emulator/device instance. To view log output in your development computer, you useadb logcatand from a remote adb shell you uselogcatSee Reading and Writing Logs for complete information about logcat commend options and filter specifications.Stopping the adb serverIn some cases, you might need to terminate the adb server process and then restart it. For example, if adb does not respond to a command, you can terminate the server and restart it and that may resolve the problem. To stop the adb server, use the kill-server command.You can then restart the server by issuing any other adb command. Wireless usageadb is usually used over USB. However, it is also possible to use overWi-Fi, as described here.Connect Android device and adb host computerto a common Wi-Fi network accessible to both.We have found that not all access pointsare suitable; you may need to use an access pointwhose firewall is configured properly to support adb.Connect the device with USB cable to host.Make sure adb is running in USB mode on host.$ adb usbrestarting in USB modeConnect to the device over USB.$ adb devicesList of devices attached######## deviceRestart host adb in tcpip mode.$ adb tcpip 5555restarting in TCP mode port: 5555Find out the IP address of the Android device:Settings -> About tablet -> Status -> IP address.Remember the IP address, of the form #.#.#.#.Connect adb host to device:$ adb connect #.#.#.#connected to #.#.#.#:5555Remove USB cable from device, and confirm you can still access device:$ adb devicesList of devices attached#.#.#.#:5555 deviceYou're now good to go!If the adb connection is ever lost:Make sure that your host is still connected to the same Wi-Fi network your Android device is.Reconnect by

Sign in to your XDA account ADB is the most basic and in many circumstances, one of the most powerful Android debugging tools available. With ADB, one can easily install an app, flash your favorite ROM, or grab a logcat to help developers. ADB has one major disadvantage to newcomers, though, and that's command line. Command line is great for scripting, and practically every advanced user becomes or already is quite comfortable, but not everyone can remember various lengthy commands. Luckily, XDA Senior Member Mohamed Hashem created a tool for newcomers and people who like simplicity. With Mohamed Hashem's tool, you can pull a logcat, install or uninstall applications, reboot your device to a selected mode, and more. It can also flash a recovery, kernel, or ROM using fastboot. The fact that it's written in Java makes it multi-platform, and as such, it can be used on Windows, Linux, and OS X. Mahmed Hashem's tool is a great way to show the true potential of ADB to new users who don't know much about ADB, fastboot, and command line in general. If you are new to Android or simply want to have things automated, make your way to the original thread to give this tool a try.

It is a client-server program that includesthree components: A client, which runs on your development machine. You can invoke a client from a shellby issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also createadb clients. A server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. The servermanages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device. A daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device instance. You can find the adb tool in /platform-tools/.When you start an adb client, the client first checks whether there is an adb serverprocess already running. If there isn't, it starts the server process. When the server starts,it binds to local TCP port 5037 and listens for commands sent from adb clients—all adbclients use port 5037 to communicate with the adb server. The server then sets up connections to all running emulator/device instances. It locates emulator/device instances by scanning odd-numbered ports in the range 5555 to 5585, the range used by emulators/devices. Where the server finds an adb daemon, it sets up a connection to that port. Note that each emulator/device instance acquires a pair of sequential ports — an even-numbered port for console connections and an odd-numbered port for adb connections. For example: Emulator 1, console: 5554Emulator 1, adb: 5555Emulator 2, console: 5556Emulator 2, adb: 5557and so on...As shown, the emulator instance connected to adb on port 5555 is the same as the instancewhose console listens on port 5554. Once the server has set up connections to all emulator instances, you can use adb commands toaccess those instances. Because the server manages connections to emulator/deviceinstances and handles commands from multiple adb clients, you can control any emulator/deviceinstance from any client (or from a script).Enabling adb DebuggingIn order to use adb with a device connected over USB, you must
