||
| 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. |
