Re^3: using perl to get sms messages

I've used perl directly on various Android devices (phones and tablets) without issue with cc tools. I always run cyanogenmod, and have done since the first version of hardware that supported Android. Faster, cleaner, smaller footprint, no bloatware.

Windows 10 is a train wreck, I'm glad I only have to support close family who run it. You don't mention what you've done and what happens (How do I post a question effectively?), so I can only advise removing the drivers you have, head over to XDA developers, install the adb/fastboot tools package, transfer the files you need to work with via adb, do what you have to on your computer. Failing that get a vendor win 10 driver or at least try the generic google drivers out there. The adb route will be the quickest method of getting the job done, so far as I un derstand it.

Update: fixed typos, added link.

As a custodial matter, I wanted to report that while I did get drivers correctly installed, I didn't get any closer to the stated goal. What's more, the whole endeavour is fraught, and I ended up having to chase malware off of both computer and rooted phone, which I reset back to factory state. Comments and links were very interesting. I wouldn't attempt any of this again on windows 10, with a crummy phone and no software budget.	[reply]

If the whole problem was to do with malware/ransomware then you should have mentioned this when posting, as alternative courses of action may have been better. I find the most common problem people have with getting adb setup (regardless of OS used) is drivers and selecting the appropriate options in the 'developer' section of the phone settings. Again, you didn't mention what part of the process you had problems with, meaning past experience/truisms are likely all people can offer in reply.	[reply]
