I have so many times been stuck in what I like to call the “loop of failure” when acquiring Android devices. It is so frustrating when you try tool after tool and get the same results, which are just a failure! Make sure you have exhausted all options and remember the Android Generic approaches shared with you so far in this course.  When you have hit the wall and nothing is working, what next? When this happens, take matters into your own hands. Roll up your sleeves and go old school on the device. Go back to the original ways of acquiring Android devices and use ADB to interact with the device. 

The options when using ADB to interact with a device will be sprinkled throughout this section. If you have an Android of your own, try the bonus lab handout to see how you, too, can have success when running commands to the device.
