7 | h2. Authorizing the device |
||
8 | |||
9 | 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. |
||
10 | 2 | Paul Kocialkowski | *Note: when booting with USB plugged in, the window doesn't pop up and you have to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to see it happen.* |

12 | h2. Accessing root shell |
||
13 | |||
14 | Once allowed, you can access the device shell using: |
||
15 | 4 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | |
16 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | <pre> |
17 | adb shell |
||
18 | </pre> |
||
19 | |||
20 | The shell is running as an unprivileged user. To gain root access, use: |
||
21 | 4 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | |
22 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | <pre> |
23 | adb root |
||
24 | </pre> |
||
25 | |||
26 | The following shells will then be run as root. |

28 | h2. Modifying the system partition |
||
29 | |||
30 | Replicant is installed on the system partition. By default, this partition is mounted as read-only and can't be modified. |
||
31 | You can mount the partition as writable filesystem using: |
||
32 | |||
33 | <pre> |
||
34 | adb remount |
||
35 | </pre> |
||
36 | |||
37 | Files under @/system/@ can now be edited. |
