Set Date/Time Using Adb Shell

Can't set date on Android (ADB)

This is date help

usage: date [-u] [-r FILE] [-d DATE] [+DISPLAY_FORMAT] [-D SET_FORMAT] [SET]

Set/get the current date/time. With no SET shows the current date.

Default SET format is "MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]", that's (2 digits each)
month, day, hour (0-23), and minute. Optionally century, year, and second.
Also accepts "@UNIXTIME[.FRACTION]" as seconds since midnight Jan 1 1970.

-d  Show DATE instead of current time (convert date format)
-D  +FORMAT for SET or -d (instead of MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss])
-r  Use modification time of FILE instead of current date
-u  Use UTC instead of current timezone

+FORMAT specifies display format string using these escapes:

%% literal %             %n newline              %t tab
%S seconds (00-60)       %M minute (00-59)       %m month (01-12)
%H hour (0-23)           %I hour (01-12)         %p AM/PM
%y short year (00-99)    %Y year                 %C century
%a short weekday name    %A weekday name         %u day of week (1-7, 1=mon)
%b short month name      %B month name           %Z timezone name
%j day of year (001-366) %d day of month (01-31) %e day of month ( 1-31)
%s seconds past the Epoch

%U Week of year (0-53 start sunday)   %W Week of year (0-53 start monday)
%V Week of year (1-53 start monday, week < 4 days not part of this year)

%D = "%m/%d/%y"    %r = "%I : %M : %S %p"   %T = "%H:%M:%S"   %h = "%b"
%x locale date     %X locale time           %c locale date/time

pay attention to this

Default SET format is "MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]"

then, your command should be

date 0209000017

Cannot run adb shell date `date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S`

Inside the emulator goto Settings > Date & Time

1. Deselect Automatic timezone.
2. Adjust your timezone manually.
3. Deselect automatic date & time and set correct time
