📱 ADB TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS

Transfer RR3 Assets from Phone to Your Windows PC, then to OVH Server


🔧 STEP 1: Enable USB Debugging on Phone

  1. Settings → About Phone
  2. Tap "Build Number" 7 times (enables Developer Mode)
  3. Settings → Developer Options
  4. Enable USB Debugging
  5. Connect phone to your Windows PC via USB

💻 STEP 2: Install ADB on Your Windows PC

Option A: Download Minimal ADB

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
  • Extract to C:\adb\
  • Add C:\adb\platform-tools to PATH (optional)

Option B: Use Existing Android SDK

  • If you have Android Studio, ADB is in:
  • C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\

📥 STEP 3: Pull Assets from Phone (Run on YOUR Windows PC)

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell on YOUR PC:

# Navigate to ADB folder (adjust path if different)
cd C:\adb\platform-tools

# Check if phone is connected
adb devices

# Should show: List of devices attached
#              XXXXXXXX        device

If you see "unauthorized":

  • Check your phone screen
  • Tap "Allow USB Debugging"
  • Check "Always allow from this computer"

Pull the RR3 Assets:

# Pull entire RR3 data folder (1.44 GB)
adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/ "C:\RR3-Assets\"

# This will take 5-10 minutes depending on USB speed
# Watch the progress: [100%] /sdcard/Android/data/...

Alternative paths if first doesn't work:

# Try OBB folder
adb pull /sdcard/Android/obb/com.ea.games.r3_row/ "C:\RR3-Assets-OBB\"

# Try alternative data location
adb pull /data/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/ "C:\RR3-Assets-Data\"

📤 STEP 4: Transfer to OVH Server

Option A: Direct RDP File Transfer

  1. In your RDP session (connected to OVH server)
  2. Open File Explorer on local PC
  3. Copy C:\RR3-Assets\ folder
  4. Paste into RDP window at: E:\rr3\phone-assets-full\

Option B: Upload to Google Drive (You Already Use This)

# Compress first to speed up upload
Compress-Archive -Path "C:\RR3-Assets\*" -DestinationPath "C:\RR3-Assets-Full.zip"

# Upload to Google Drive manually
# Then on OVH server, download from: G:\My Drive\RR3-Assets-Full.zip

Option C: Network Share (if on same network)

  • Share C:\RR3-Assets\ on your PC
  • Map network drive on OVH server
  • Copy directly

🎯 QUICK REFERENCE COMMANDS (Run on YOUR PC):

# 1. Check connection
adb devices

# 2. List what's on phone (verify path exists)
adb shell ls /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

# 3. Check total size before pulling
adb shell du -sh /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

# 4. Pull everything
adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/ "C:\RR3-Assets\"

# 5. Verify what you got
dir C:\RR3-Assets /s

⚠️ TROUBLESHOOTING:

"adb: command not found"

  • Use full path: C:\adb\platform-tools\adb.exe devices

"device unauthorized"

  • Check phone screen for popup
  • Revoke USB debugging authorizations and try again
  • Settings → Developer Options → Revoke USB debugging authorizations

"adb: error: failed to stat remote object"

  • Path doesn't exist on phone
  • Try alternative paths listed above
  • Or use: adb shell ls /sdcard/Android/data/ to see what's there

"adb: device offline"

  • Unplug and replug USB cable
  • Run: adb kill-server then adb start-server

Transfer is slow:

  • Use USB 3.0 port if available
  • Close other apps on phone
  • Disable phone screen lock during transfer
