There should be three toggles that are on:Ī toggle at the top of the screen that should be On Navigate to: Settings > System > Developer options It will give you a countdown of how many more times you need to tap it after a few taps Enable adb/USB Debugging Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap Build Number 7 times. Navigate to: Settings > System > About phone Installed as /home/cubiclenate/Projects/adb/platform-tools/adb Activate Developer Mode on the Nexus 5X Next, navigate to the folder, platform-tools and executed: Unzip platform-tools_r28.0.1-linux.zip -d platform-tools If you would like to do it in the terminal (your version may vary): In that folder, extracted the downloaded zip file, which is easy to do with KDE Plasma’s file manager, Dolphin. Instead of the full Android SDK, just the ADB Tools.įirst step was to download the ADB/Fastboot (platform-tools) Download the ToolsĪfter some extensive reading and poking around, I chose the minimal method to perform this task. It really was a rather painless process so this doesn’t write-up doesn’t have much for trouble shooting. I am running this on openSUSE Tumbleweed but the instructions for Leap should be the same. Going through this, it took me a bit to really understand and take a course of action so to make this easier for someone of similar goals. Using this guide, Unlock for Beginners, as my base, I put this together as a distilled version of the guide that can be used on openSUSE but probably any other distribution of Linux as well. So, I purchased Nexus 5X on ebay for $80, I figured, why not. Recently, it was announced that KDE Connect is available for Plasma Mobile which was the tipping point for me to say, it is time to test Plasma Mobile on something other than a virtual machine. The last time it was used was when navigating to a destination, the phone became unresponsive, the screen went black and was incredibly hot. Looking at the battery usage it was always the Android System that was on top of the list. It would get hot and chew through the battery quickly but be incredibly slow. I could not unlock the bootloader and every consecutive update from Samsung made the phone less usable. I recently broke my Samsung Galaxy 5S… again… but in many ways it was falling apart. I have been watching Plasma Mobile for a little while and have tested it in a virtual machine but haven’t made it a priority to get some real hardware to test it on until now.
