Mv -i /sdcard/download/your-rom-name.zip /sdcard/your-rom-name.zip or, you could move it instead of copying it. or a slightly less verbose version to accomplish the same thing:Ĭp -p /sdcard/download/your-rom-name.zip /sdcard/. For example, let's assume you've started-up the Android Terminal Emulator and you want to copy a ROM from your /sdcard/download directory to the top-level of the /sdcard, you would type:Ĭp -p /sdcard/download/your-rom-name.zip /sdcard/your-rom-name.zip Instead, you would just use the Unix shell commands from the Terminal Emulator to copy things to and from your /sdcard (if that's where you were going). So, you can't really do the phone-to-phone thing via adb. You can't use adb from the Terminal Emulator since its a client-server pair: the adb.exe on your PC (or Mac) communicates with the adbd daemon on the Android-side (your phone). In fact, from what folks have posted, hooking your phone up to your Mac doesn't result in the USB connectivity problems that a lot of folks have on their Windows-based PCs. The Android SDK is also available for the Mac (and Linux).
