How to connect the Cruzr?

Like all Android devices, the Cruzr debugs through ADB connection. The only difference is that a specific adbkey needs to be configured.

Preparations

  1. Configure adbkey

Before connecting the Cruzr through the ADB, you must first configure the corresponding adbkey. There are two files: adbkey and adbkey.pub. Place these two files in the .android folder in the computer user directory. If there is no .android directory, create one.

The computer user's directory is C:\Users\xxxx (xxxx represents the current user), e.g.: C:\Users\ubt. Create a .android folder C:\Users\ubt.android, and then place the above file in this directory, as shown in the figure below. After configuring the adbkey, the way to connect Cruzr is the same for mobile phones and tablets.
