Android – Large File Transfer – Samsung Galaxy S3 SGS

This is one way transfer large files to android when other methods do not work:

  • Turn on Developer Mode and Debugging Tools
  • Install Android SDK on your computer
  • Plug in phone and open the command prompt and type:
  • More ADB info

    PATH-TO\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe push PATH-TO\FILE.zip /mnt/sdcard/
  • This usually takes a second.  I would first try transferring a small file to make sure you have the correct path.

Note: The ‘/mnt/sdcard’ may be specific to my device.  If you can’t seem to find a writable folder do this:

PATH-TO\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe shell

then, using ls and cd commands, you can move around and try and find the path to your writable directory.

 

Hope this helps someone!
