ADB (also called Android Debug Bridge) – is a tool that helps the software in communicating with other devices using data cable or wireless connections. It’s also a new method included to AOSP. It makes the transfer work easier for devices by sharing the files or copying them from one device to another. ADB tools can be operated through a shell in the Linux-based system, command line windows and more such.

What is meaning of ADB and how it works?

When an individual starts the ADB, he/she will primarily check the processing of the ADB server. During the server begins, it secures with the local TCP port 5037 and processes for commands after hearing that was sent from ADB clients and every client uses the 5037 to tie up with the ADB server. 

Then the server practices all the connections and sets them up with all processing devices. Through scanning odd-numbered ports such as 5555-5585, it locates the emulators. ADB sets up the connections to port the place where it finds the ADB daemon (ADBD).

At a time when all the connections are set up with the device, one can use ADB commands to access all those devices. The multiple commands from random ADB clients that he/she can control any device of any other client is managed by the server that helps and checks the connections between the processor and the client.

What are the advantages of ADB sideload method?

There are a lot more advantages but the pointed advantage to make the debugging a lot easier is that ADB performs on the phone without any personal interconnection to it. 

• Send the files to the system with just a command lines – the most important one
• Possibility to pull the files from the system with command lines – the same here
