Re: [SOLVED] Re: Mounting a Samsung Galaxy S3.
I simply wanted to share that I've been happy with a completely
different (and fully CLI) approach/solution: the android debug bridge.
IIRC JellyBean requires adb version 1.0.31, which I had to compile for
squeeze (and which is also provided within the android development tools
package provided by google - sdk/platform-tools/adb)
It is necessary to turn on USB Debugging from Settings > Developer
options. Since leaving this on poses a security threat, I use "USB
Debugging Monitor" by Bit Bloo to remind me to turn if off when I
disconnect.
Using adb provides fast transfer speeds over a usb cable -- great for
copying those titanium backup or nandroid images
In order to make the file transfer process more user-friendly (since adb
pull is rather cumbersome to work with - lots of paths to type manually,
no tab-completion) I wrote a couple shell scripts which I would be happy
to share if anyone is interested. They essentially do this:
terminal 1:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
nc localhost 5555 | tar xf -
terminal 2:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
adb shell
...and from the android shell,
tar cf - /list/of files you want to copy | nc -l -p 5555
