Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a tool that lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android phone. ADB is bundled with Android SDK package that can be downloaded from Android SDK download page. This tool is usefull for communicating with Android phone such as install application, copy files from/to device and perform some linux shell commands.
How to Install
Download and install Java SDK (Ex:jdk-6u20-windows-i586.exe)
Download Android SDK package (Ex:android-sdk_r06-windows.zip)
Extract SDK package into anywhere on your drive (Ex: D:\android-sdk-windows)
Phone Setup
In order to use ADB, you have to enable USB Debugging option in phone settings (Settings->Applications->Development)
How to Use
- Connect the phone to your pc/notebook usb port
- Run Windows command line tool (cmd) and go to D:\android-sdk-windows\tool
Update!!
New Android SDK puts adb executable file on \platform-tools directory instead of tool. So the path should be D:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Usefull Commands
1. Check connected phone
Syntax: adb devices
2. Login to Android shell
Syntax: adb shell
Note:
If you get ‘#’ after typing adb shell, you are already get root access on the phone, no need to type su. Otherwise if you get ‘$’ , type ‘su’ to get root access (only for rooted device).
3. Some usefull shell commands
- ls
List directory
Syntax: ls [path]
Example:
#ls /system/lib
- cp
Copy file or directory
Syntax: cp [options] source dest
Note:
To copy or delete files in Android root directories you have to change the directory access mode to ‘read and write (rw)’ using command: remount rw
Example:
#remount rw
#cp /sdcard/libsec-ril.so /system/lib
#remount ro
- mv
Move file or directory
Syntax: mv [options] source dest
Example:
#mv /system/lib/libsec-ril.so /sdcard/backup
- chmod
Change file/directory permission
Syntax: chmod [-R] mode[,mode] …. file
Example:
#chmod 0644 /system/lib/libsec-ril.so
- rm
Remove file or directory
Syntax: rm [options] file
Example:
#rm /system/lib/libsec-ril.so
4. Install application
You can use adb to install aplication from your local drive into phone.
Syntax: adb install appname.apk
Example:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb install D:\AnReboot.apk
5. Copy files from phone to local drive
Syntax: adb pull source [destination]
Example:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb pull /sdcard/arm11-dvm.zip
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb pull /sdcard/arm11-dvm.zip D: 
6. Copy files from local drive to phone
Syntax: adb push source destination
Example:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb push D:\AnReboot.apk /sdcard
