h2. Installing ADB

Instructions to install ADB: [[ToolsInstallation#ADB|ToolsInstallation]]

h2. Authorizing the device

In order to allow your host computer to access ADB on the device, it must be allowed on the device. A window should pop up when connecting USB, asking whether to allow USB debugging. 

Note: during first boot, the window doesn't pop up and you have to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to see it happen.

h2. Accessing root shell

Once allowed, you can access the device shell using:

<pre>

adb shell

</pre>

The shell is running as an unprivileged user. To gain root access, use:

<pre>

adb root

</pre>

The following shells will then be run as root.
