Learning ADB

Postby Trashcooky » May 5th, 2012, 5:47 pm

I am struggling my way through the ADB instructions and just want clarification please.
If I pull a file using the adb pull command, does this "cut" (i.e. completely remove) the file from its original location or simply "copy" (makes a copy) to a new location? :geek:

thanks in advance. :)

hi Trashcooky if you open a command promp inside platform-tools folder
Code: Select all
adb pull /system/build.prop
will place a copy of the build.prop file into your platform-tools folder on PC leaving the original in place on the tablet

Thanks Mitre, I thought it would but I just wanted to be certain I wasn't literally pulling the file completely from memory. :)
