Can't upload big file to Android Device
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:
undefined
$ 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.
I'd check the cable. Might be a POS that only works for the bare minimum of tasks.
Is /sdcard really the correct path? Maybe try /storage/emulated/0? That's the internal storage
Same error. Plus /sdcard is just symlink to /storage/emulated/0/
A little old skool maybe but why not try ftp?
Would be my go-to as well. I'm using x-plore file manager on my phone to start an ftp server, and then push files via filezilla from my computer. Easy, and compatible with every OS out there.
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?
Yes, I can even shell into it or pull/push small files
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.
