adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
I do:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
that was after I moved the tools folder otherwise it was:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools
im try to get to command prompt and go to your tools directory am i typing the right thing ;C:\android\tools or is it cd c:\android\tools in trying to Flashing a Custom Recovery so i can flash the 2.1 rom
have you made it to the tools directory? if you actually go to the tools file on your computer, on the address bar you will see what you need to type.... either (red font)
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
that was after I moved the tools folder otherwise it was:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools
type one or the other exactly how I have it up top....cd and all....

Hi guys, I am trying to move some files into ext partition. I want to do it via adb but ...
It came to my attention that adb shell isn't the solution for adb push or adb pull. I need to do it via windows but whenever I do adb remount or adb kill-server and adb pull or adb push . When I input and press enter it shows an arrow I press enter cuz I dont know what I could input. It just tells me "push not found" or "adb not found" if I say adb push.
Please don't ask me what I do exactly just tell me the exact steps ^^
I would like to move Htc ime mod by jonasl by example.
Hope you will help me out guys
copy tools adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to the .../windows/system32/
Thank's but doesn't seem to work
I tried doing : cd C:\Program Files\Android SDK
adb push C:\Program Files\Android SDK\tools\su-2.1-e-signed\system\xbin\su \system\xbin\
but this just gives me all adb commands.
Doing this inside adb shell gives me the adb : not found
Any idea/ workaround? (< only adb plz I dont want to install linux)
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android SDK
adb remount
adb push tools\su-2.1-e-signed\system\xbin\su \system\xbin\
Give that a try.
You can't use push or pull with shell.
The biggest problem you sill face is having spaces in the PC side path names, try moving the SDK to c:\Android_SDK if the above fails
Try this:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android SDK\tools
adb remount
adb push C:\Program Files\Android SDK\tools\su-2.1-e-signed\system\xbin\su /system/xbin/
AH great, by removing the space beetwin android and sdk I managed to get out but now I am facing Out of memory error
Damn I have like 1.5 gb of memory on my ext2 partition
Where can I check the remaining memory?
EDIT : su is 22ko so I dont think memory is the big deal. However I would still like to know what is left
Maybe my microSD is dying... Any idea?

1/ he already answer your question
2/ it's android DEV section, your question if far away from DEV
3/ You have to learn how to use command-line application (Windows suck at this, so you should try on a linux OS)
BTW: a little how-to
cd: a great command, you'll be able to change directory (yes you have "adb" on your harddrive, but you have to tell your computer where is it)
cp : copy
mv: move
ls: list content of working directory
pwd: print current working directory
Now: let say "adb" (adb.exe) is located here: /home/carbonyle/androidSDK/tools/
launch a terminal (WindowsKey + r on windows host, then type "cmd")
Yyour working directory maybe "C:" , or whatever (/home/carbonye/ for me)
now use "cd"
Code:
cd /home/carbonyle/androidSDK/tools/
<. of course adapt this to your environnment
(use ls / pwd to convince you what you're doing)
Code:
./adb reboot recovery
<- for linux user
Code:
adb reboot recovery
<- for Win**** users
Of course this will reboot your phone into recovery mode, just adapt command to your need
Right, this thread has gone far enough with enough flaming for today.
To all of you, im disappointed and you should all know better.
PLease refrain from further flames, tidy up in progress. I am also moving this to QnA.
@ Mister-Tea
You are equally responsible for the flaming by flaming yourself.
@ you all, quit it or i will take further action.
THanks.

does it stick after reboot?
Its supposed to be a temporary root so i doubt it will.
This works on any android phone up to 2.2. I have confirmed this works on my epic, so th same sould work here.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
see below.
confirmed root.
Had to use Superuser.apk 2.3.6.1 and the su binary in the package, but the rest worked.. except for that cat command? Why would you cat binary files instead of copying them? (not complaining, just curious). I just adb pushed them to /system/xbin, and adb shell chmod'd them.
You also have a typo near the end "scard" instead of "sdcard".
You can also use mv or cp. I just happen to use cat because I used it the other day rooting my friends stock 2.2 droid. Which required me to use cat.
And yes this is permanent
Cool, i tried using rm -rf to get rid of a directory I created accidentally, and was getting some syntax errors, so I wasn't sure how compatibile the command line on android was to linux.
Glad it's pretty close. Being very familiar with linux makes this pretty easy to understand. Day 1 with an android device was pretty darn fun. I think I'm glad I went this direction.
I just followed this and used the same files I had from my Droid 2 (just updated the Superuser.apk from this sites thread for it) and works perfectly. Rebooted phone did "adb shell" and "su" and still have root, so it is permanent
side note: steps say "/system/xbin" and assume you meant "/system/bin" like Droid 2 was. That's where I put them and it worked.

Your USB mode might be set wrong. Flip it to whatever it's not at, and try again.

How long do you actually have to wait after the execting the rage.bin file?

I dunno, ~20-30 seconds? Assuming sound is enabled you should hear the same USB device connected/disconnected sounds.
If you want to be 100% sure just wait like 90 seconds. I'm pretty sure it killed my shell though, so if it does that, you're good to go.
ok, adb recognizes the device *see below, however when i type adb push su /sdcard/su i get cannot stat 'su': no such file or directory. ?

su is a file (for our purposes right here, anyway). Unless you explicity specify its path, it needs to be in the same directory you're running the adb command from.
If you installed the Android SDK per guidelines, adb should be in your PATH environment variable, and you should be able to execute it from any directory. If you didn't do that, then for the sake of simplicity, copy all the files referenced in the original steps to your working directory. From your post above, it appears that is c:\downloads\android\android\tools\
I got stuck at cat /sdcard/su > . Is that supposed to be > .? It won't let me enter that...There's not something else that's supposed to be there?
EDIT: I get the same error faspalma
I'm stuck at that point too. cat /sdcard/su > . returns "cannot create .: is a directory"
hello x10 buddys
srry for my noob question, but i have a problem...
when i go to run - cmd
adb shell
$ su
#
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
i am able to do this.
No i wanna install a theme with the file ****.cmd
I start the cmd file and i will get this error
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
Why i get this error?
i am not adb shell # at this moment?
You'll only be able to remount while you've root permissions...
If you do SU before doing the .cmd then you should be fine...
(You might also have problems with file permissions, in which case you'll need to run chmod 755 on some directory after remounting. If you've this problem, let us know. Maybe post the .cmd?)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i thougt that was the problem ty
but how i get SU before run the cmd file?
when i do adb shell in the directory of the theme
after that i cant run the cmd files or i did something wrong.
Spend the hole night on it ^^
the cmd file will be alright, its from the New theme here
Have u tried
Adb shell su
Then allow it with superuser?
I'm not sure if it will work as I haven't tested it...
Hope it helps
in my Su on the phone
Unkonwn
/system/bin/sh als root (uid: 0)
i wanna run ***.cmd when i am in cmd with su#
wen i start the **cmd i wil not have su#
i need to do....
adb shell
$ su
#
and then put a command to run ***.cmd file of the theme
when the **.cmd file in c:\desktop\newfolder\***.cmd
which command i need to write when i in adb shell # to run the cmd file??
If I don't remember wrong, I had to do this chmod 4755 /system/bin/su to get the "#" prompt (su) as default in Better Terminal.
Perhaps it will help you too ? (allowing the scripts to run as superuser)
Have you tried doing everything with adb shell? Ie
Adb shell su
Hit enter
Adb shell mount blah blah blah
Hit enter
Adb shell run the cmd
I read somewhere u should only chmod as a last resort and if u know what you're doing. For the most part i have no idea what's going on (i feel like Gary busey) so i haven't tried the chmod.
I would have posted the actual script but its a pita to do from my phone
he said run:not found ^^
How about at the beginning before adb shell su move to the directory its in.
Eg.
cd C:\the directory the cmd is saved

Adb shell run the cmd does NOT mean you should type in Adb shell run <some command>.
It means you should type in Adb shell <some command> where <some command> can be for example su, cp, dd or something else (unix commands).
tread can closed. I dont get it...
You're giving up that quick? :-(
Come on!!!!
Solution A:
1. Go here and download X10Root1.0.8.apk.
2. Install the apk to your phone.
3. Run the app and use it to "unsecure sh".
4. Run your CMD script.
5. Run the app again to "secure sh".
6. If you skipped #5 (secure), go back and do #5.
Solution B (alternative):
1. Download the Standalone Toggle Secure Shell script.
2. Extract and run it (it's a CMD script).
3. Select "Unsecure" and follow the directions (requires some typing or copy/pasting).
4. Run your CMD script.
5. Run the toggle script again to select "Secure".
6. Don't skip #5 (secure).
Hi,

Did you remount the system partition as RW first? The app should let you do this
I have just done what was said in the tutorial so I don't think that I have done what you say and actually I don't quite know what that is.
I made myself a bootscreen and I tried to use that but it didn't work so I downloaded a bootscreen available on the web but that didn't work either.
The bootscreen I have at the moment is from here called drawing-froyo maybe it has to do something with that.
Nah, nothing to do with which one you have.
You need to find out how to remount system in astro (google maybe) and do that.
It will then be easy to overwrite

Could you provide the adb command to remount with the proper permissions?
Command prompt:
C:\ ..\> adb devices <-- this will detect your phone connect to pc
C:\ ..\> adb remount <-- remount the phone
C:\ ..\> adb shell <-- command to enter shell command, the drive letter C change to # meaning u have enter shell mode
# su <-- superuser permission
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system <-- changing permission of read/rewrite
# cd /system/media/bootscreen/ <-- change directory to /system/media/bootscreen/
# ls -l <-- list of apps/files in current directory, this is not important, just to ensure the file u seek is there..
# rm any_files_u_wanna_delete <-- remove aka delete command(make sure u already backup or pulled it before doing this)
# exit <-- exit shell command, type it again until the # change back to "C:\>"
C:\ ..\> adb push C:\any_files_u_wanna_push /system/media/bootscreen/ <-- push ur files, with directory of the file to push then directory of where the files should be pushed in
C:\ ..\> adb reboot <-- reboot command, reboots the phone, unplug it and see it runs.. if the bootanimation didn't play/just stalled, try redoing all these steps with the old bootanimation, or do a nandroid restore.
as far as I know, bootanimation in /system/media/bootanimation/ folder is not in zip files, it's in multiple files(in my stock 2.1, it's boot.gif, boot.mp3, boot2.gif, boot_animation.xml and boot_bg.gif). so I bet, u have to extract these files from the zip and push it one by one.
Good luck on adb
I have a few questions on some of these steps:
On the checksum part below, it says to redownload the file if the checksum does not match, does that mean to re push the misc.img and run step three again.
Step 3
This step will gain temp root and flash the custom misc.img. Run:
adb shell
Now the shell should display "$".
Run:
/data/local/psneuter
You will now be kicked out of adb, and adb will restart as root. Let’s confirm the md5 of misc.img:
adb shell
At this point, the shell should display "#".
Run:
/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/misc.img
Output should be "c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de." If it’s anything else, re-download the file and try again.
On step 4 below how do I put the file on the phone? Can I just use windows and copy the file to the sd card?
Step 4
Here you will rename the downgrade RUU as PG05IMG.zip and place it on your SD card. Then, run the following command:
Ok in step 3 below, it says if the checksum does not match to delete and re-download. How do I delete the file? Is there a command to do this? I assume re-downloading refers to pushing the file again correct?
Step 6
Please pay attention – this is very important. This step involves a small chance of bricking if you mess up.
To push the eng bootloader:
adb push hbooteng.nb0 /data/local/
adb shell
/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/hbooteng.nb0
If the output does not match "6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb" exactly, stop, delete it, and re-download it. Otherwise, continue.
to delete in adb you need to use the command "adb shell" and the command in there is "rm /path/to/file" no quotes. This is where being a Linux user helped me out lol. As for moving the file, yes. Move it to SD any way at all that you'd like.

Is it "adb shell" one one line and then "rm /path/to/file" on next line or is it all one line like this "adb shell rm /path to file""

It's all on one line. FYI you only have to adb shell, once. In the tutorial for the root, he has you doing 'adb shell reboot bootloader'. However, you are already in adb shell, at that point. All you need to type is 'reboot bootloader'.
