Hello! I recently faced an issue trying to upload big file to Android tablet. It doesn't detect with MTP so I tried to push it via ADB. But I get this error:

$ adb push myfile /sdcard
adb: error: 65544-byte write failed: Success

How can I fix it? Why is this happening? Storage space is enough:

EDIT: I want to use it for app devlopment, so I need ADB or quick MTP for app installing.

Is /sdcard really the correct path? Maybe try /storage/emulated/0? That's the internal storage

[-] user_naa@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Same error. Plus /sdcard is just symlink to /storage/emulated/0/

Yeah but sometimes stuff like this works even if it seems to make no sense. If both of your devices are on the same wifi, maybe you can just use something to transfer it using that like KDE Connect. If you don't want to install anything, you could even try using SSH.

It will be very inconvenient to transfer app via KDE Connect on every Android Studio build

A little old skool maybe but why not try ftp?

Did you try LocalSend maybe?

It works, but my Wi-Fi is very slow

It'll be quicker than MTP because it's actually reliably consistent, unlike MTP.

Since MTP is an unreliable hack, I've found using a "slow" wireless connection to work better.

Does your PC actually see your phone via adb? What's the output of adb devices?

[-] user_naa@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yes, I can even shell into it or pull/push small files

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

How old is this phone? My guess is corruption at hardware level.

If you can shell into it and have dd or something, try to write a simple file to e.g dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/testfile bs=1MB count=200 If that fails when directly on the device, you can rule out network issues.

You can also try downloading a file from the web that's about the size of your file or serving your file on the local WLAN with python3 -m http.server and accessing it on your phone. Just to see what happens.

I can't do it until I formatted data. After it file can be downloaded from net, but adb still fails.

Shooting from the hip here, but it sounds like the storage chip may be dying. I have a 128GB Pixel 1XL that crashes if I use more than ~20GB of space.

I'd check the cable. Might be a POS that only works for the bare minimum of tasks.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

File size?

[-] user_naa@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

197MB

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That's not much.

Can you try copying that file via KDE Connect?

[-] user_naa@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I edited post to explain why I need ADB
