Sending Linux commands over serial connection to an Android device
I have a question about being able to send Linux commands over a serial connection to an Android device.
I have heard of PuTTY and tried to use it, but I am ultimately lost with it.
I was in the Linux shell of the Android device and could type, reboot and the device would reboot. The Android device has a virtual serial connection, and I have been able to connect to it using PuTTY, but I don't know where to go after that.
Also, I cannot use ADB because the phone will not fully boot, and the ADB setting is on.

"I don't know where to go after that." -- Seems like you have a working serial link to the console. The next step is you need to learn shell commands. Try typinghelporbusybox. Putty is a terminal emulation program; it's the program that is running on the PC side of the link so that you can use the serial port + keyboard + monitor as a "terminal" or console.

If you are communicating over a serial connection I think you would use AT commands rather than 'linux commands.'
This post discusses something similar if my understanding is correct.

AT commands are for controlling a phone modem or a communications device that emulates a phone modem because it has a data (or transparent) mode and a command mode. A simple serial link like what the OP has does not have a modem. Hence there is no device to process any AT commands.

Turns out that the connection I had was for the phone modem, not to the system. There seems to be (on many qualcomm phones) a modem connection and then the adb connection for the android system.
So it ended up being a dead end.
