How to Take Logs

January 07, 2024

There are two ways you can get logs.

The non-rooted way (you will need a PC)

1. Download the latest platform-tools for your operating system

2. Extract the zip to a folder and move into that folder in Command Prompt or Terminal:

cd <folder_location>

3. Plug in your device and accept the debugging prompt (turn on ADB in Settings > Developer Options if you don't see it).

4. Verify your device is recognized by typing

adb devices

5. Take your log:

• logcat:

     adb logcat -d > test.log

dmesg:

     adb root
     adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

6. Send the logs here and tag the maintainer.

The rooted way (2 ways)

3. Take your log:

   • logcat: logcat -d > /sdcard/test.log
