Testmode / Enable ADB on stock (non-rooted) readers!
I have not tried that because I want to stay with my rooted reader, but there seems to be a way to enable ADB on non-rooted readers too, which should handy for many things:
At first you have to run testmode app. It is installed on every stock reader and can be invoked via https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...ering_Testmode With testmode you can
And there is a Switch ADB button in testmode app - guess what it does With ADB enabled, you can access the reader via ADB shell as described here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...ng_ADB_to_work Now, you should be able to do things like installing apps without having to root the device! Code:
adb install myshinynewapp.apk Also you may do battery recalibration by Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/batterstats && reboot |

Does this also work if you create the file on the external SD card only?
Edit: Yes, it works. But when I press "Switch ADB", it says "Sorry, this function is not available." How to make it available? Last edited by bookp; 08-19-2012 at 05:22 AM. |

hm, ok. I suspect that you still have to install porkupan's enable-adb package or rupor's addp2sd package, which install a new initrd image...
