Activate debugging and network debugging on the android device. Find out the IP of your android device.
Run adb on your computer connecting to android over the network:
adb connect 192.168.0.16:5555 # displays "connected" message adb shell id # displays "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"
Enabling SSH:
Push your public key to the android device to allow password-less ssh login:
adb push ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /sdcard/authorized_keys
Jump into a shell using adb (see above) and enable ssh:
mkdir /data/dropbear mkdir /data/dropbear/.ssh mv /sdcard/authorized_keys /data/dropbear/.ssh/ chown root.root /data/dropbear/.ssh/authorized_keys dropbearkey -t rsa -f /data/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key dropbearkey -t dss -f /data/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key chmod 755 /data/dropbear chmod 644 /data/dropbear/dropbear*host_key chmod 755 /data/dropbear/.ssh chmod 600 /data/dropbear/.ssh/authorized_keys killall dropbear dropbear -v -s -g
Then create /system/etc/init.d/30sshd with the following contents:
(you may have to “mount -o remount,rw /system” in order to write to that file)
#!/system/bin/sh dropbear -v -s -g
