# adb & reverse tunnel

These bridge a device channel to a local TCP port on your machine.

## adb

```bash
orchard adb my-pixel                     # defaults to 127.0.0.1:5555
orchard adb my-pixel --listen 127.0.0.1:5999
```

It prints the local address and holds the bridge open. In another terminal:

```bash
adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell getprop ro.product.model
```

Everything adb can do (install, logcat, shell, `scrcpy -s …`) then works against the remote device. Ctrl-C stops the bridge.

## tunnel

The reverse direction: expose a proxy running on **your** machine (Burp, mitmproxy, …) to the device, so the guest's traffic flows through it.

```bash
orchard tunnel my-pixel --to 127.0.0.1:8080
```

The CLI holds the control channel open and opens a data stream per guest connection; it reports when the guest proxy is pointed at your tool.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.orchard.airoverflow.com/cli/live-device-access/adb-tunnel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
