README
This variant of adbfs works even WITHOUT having root access (busybox) on your phone!
Instructions:
=============
You will need `libfuse-dev` and `adb`. You will also need `build-essential`, `git`, and `pkg-config`. On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config
Clone the repository:
git clone [email protected]:spion/adbfs-rootless.git
cd adbfs-rootless
Build:
make
Optional: If you have a separate copy of android-sdk and would
like to use that adb, copy the binary adbfs to the `android-sdk/platform-tools`
directory. If platform-tools is in your $PATH you can skip this step.
Create a mount point if needed (e.g. in your home directory):
mkdir ~/droid
You can now mount your device (also from the platform-tools dir):
./adbfs ~/droid
If you want to trigger a media rescan after every operation, use the option `-o rescan`:
./adbfs -o rescan ~/droid
Have fun!
## Troubleshooting
### Error: device not found
When running you get the following error:
```
--*-- exec_command: adb shell ls
error: device not found
```
Solution: Make sure that [USB Debugging is enabled][enable-usb-debug].
Then `fusermount -u /media/mount/path` before trying again. Note that if for any reason `fusermount` is not available in your system, you can use `sudo umount /media/mount/path` instead.
### Error: device offline
When running you get the following error:
```
--*-- exec_command: adb shell ls
error: device offline
```
Solution: Make sure that
1. Your android-sdk-tools are up to date. Newer versions
of Android also require newer versions of adb. For more info, see
[this Stack Overflow post][error-device-offline].
2. You answer `Yes` when your phone asks whether it should allow the
computer with the specified RSA key to access the device.
Then `killall -9 adb; fusermount -u /media/mount/path` before trying again.
