This variant of adbfs works even WITHOUT having root access (busybox) on your phone!
You will need libfuse-dev
and adb
. You will also need build-essential
, git
, and pkg-config
. On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config
Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:spion/adbfs-rootless.git
cd adbfs-rootless
Build:
make
Optional: If you have a separate copy of android-sdk and would
like to use that adb, copy the binary adbfs to the android-sdk/platform-tools
directory. If platform-tools is in your $PATH you can skip this step.
Create a mount point if needed (e.g. in your home directory):
mkdir ~/droid
You can now mount your device (also from the platform-tools dir):
./adbfs ~/droid
If you want to trigger a media rescan after every operation, use the option -o rescan
:
./adbfs -o rescan ~/droid
Have fun!
When running you get the following error:
--*-- exec_command: adb shell ls
error: device not found
Solution: Make sure that USB Debugging is enabled.
Then fusermount -u /media/mount/path
before trying again. Note that if for any reason fusermount
is not available in your system, you can use sudo umount /media/mount/path
instead.

Your android-sdk-tools are up to date. Newer versions of Android also require newer versions of adb. For more info, see this Stack Overflow post.
You answer Yes
when your phone asks whether it should allow the
computer with the specified RSA key to access the device.
Then killall -9 adb; fusermount -u /media/mount/path
before trying again.
