is there a way to disable the password screen that requires a password?
also i installed the rooted 2.1 to my phone. worked fine. i followed the steps to put the recovery image on. the recovery image file copied. i attempted to copy the flash_image file and i get this error
"failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image'; Read-only file system
i checked the device make sure it is still connected and usb debugging was still enabled.
i than tried toggling usb debugging and remounting. i than tried to copy it again nothing.
not sure what to do. i must have missed something....anyone help?
fixed the mounting issue.
but this stupid password page is annoying...how do you get rid of it?
go to menu > settings > security. try toggling those settings.

type into a command prompt shell
adb remount
then start the recovery mode commands from the beginning.
or use the eris master application to root your phone. developed by myself and jamezelle.
would be nice if this app was available. i cannot find it anywhere.

I didn't see a thread for this anywhere and it's not included in the rooting documentation so i figured I'd make one.
This will allow you to install apk files directly from the device, no need to adb them over. Just get the apk from the web or whatever source you want and install. Of course this is all assuming you have completed the current root process and have adb access already.
Thanks to godsfilth for finding these directions for the origninal nook.
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools folder
2. Run the following commands
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
sqlite> .q
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. Reboot
4. Install apps from NC without ADB.
You might have to restart your homescreen for the apps to show up, but i've had sucess with every app i've tried that is known working on the NC.
This was done on a Windows 7 x64 machine, although i'm sure it's the same or similiar for Linux and MUC OSx.
Also, sqlite3.exe was already in my sdk tools folder, if it's not for you then you can download from here.
Yep, and you can ADB install a file manager app, then just use the file manager to install anything else, from the SD card.

So...the nook doesn't stop apps from deing installed if Iinstall them manger astro file Manger?
What is the command in sqllite to see if the db entry has been changed?
I copied & pasted your commands and after a reboot still get "Can't install downloaded apk"
I did the same - even adapted the commands because the folder name wasn't the same, etc.
However, I'm trying to use SlideMe to install APKs and it keeps coming up with "Install Blocked" - any ideas?

Once you enable this it will allow you to install the apps, it doesn't have anything to do with astro per se. You can just use astro to navigate to apks stored on your sd card. I use estrongs file manager myself and have installed apks from my sd card, dropbox and downloads from dolphin browser hd.
I'm getting the same error as everyone else.
I made the edits per your first post and pushed the file back to the NC. Then I rebooted. Placed an apk in the NC and tried to open it using Root Explorer. I try to install it and I get the "Installation of donwload apks is not supported" error.

Slideme works perfect for me so you did something wrong. Not sure what though, I would just redo it.

just use
Code:
sqlite3 settings.db ".dump"
and then scroll down and look for INSERT INTO "secure" VALUES(4,'install_non_market_apps','1'); you want a 1 there at the end.

look in your tools folder for the settings.db file and check the modified by time and make sure the change you are making is made.
To clarify if there's a misunderstanding the path info and text before the > in the commands is just what you would see in your command prompt. the actual commands are after the >. These are the actual commands.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
.q
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
What command did you have to alter?
also, maybe try
Code:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
to push... I didn't have any problem with the other command and both appear to work for me.
Oh none, your commands worked awesomely, I just had to yank the folder designations that were there, which you've now done for everyone, so thanks!
I think it might be a problem somewhere else, I'm re-doing everything right now, I'll let everyone know
Ran these commands again with the additional adb push and still no dice. I checked to see that the db entry had been updated and it correctly has the install non market apps set to 1. I'm using root explorer as well I'll try estrongs as you have. Thanks for the help.

Confirmed now that SlideMe is not the issue - the settings are all correct on the PC, I can't confirm these settings for the NC. I tried re-adb-pushing and still no cigar here either. I'm getting app rejections from any source, downloaded on the NC and the SD card. Any idea what could be wrong?
Ok, definitely isolated the problem now.
I pull the settings from the NC, modify them, and everything works great, then it refuses to push it back, but says it succeeds, or something to this effect, because whenever I pull the file back from the NC, it says value=0

Not sure, I've got it working using this method on 3 different NCs myself. The only thing i can think of is that i had already installed estrongs file manager and a few other games before doing it. Maybe try using adb to install estrongs or astro and see if it will let you then.
estrongs i'm using: www mediafire com ?sxw6adfzvyp250m
astro: www mediafire com ?05scsbrnx2wfw4v

Thanks for the file links - I'll give them a try, I really think the problem though is that the NC keeps resetting the value I push back for the non-market apps. I have no idea why it's doing this...

try pulling it back right after pushing the modified one, before rebooting, and see if it's even pushing correctly at all. If it is then being reset on reboot i don't know what the issue is.
Novaglarion, I am not able to do it either.
When you say "reboot", is that the same as power off and on?

yes, the same.
make sure you're pushing the modified db file to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases not to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
it needs to be in the databases folder so it overwrites the original

DAMN YOU!!!! such a simple thing and i missed it! You are correct. I'll update the original commands. Thanks for the good catch there.
Dear all,
Good day.
I would like to ask,can I access phone memory (HTC aria A6380)
on pc?
It was because I accidentally move a script file "sh"
from my /system/bin folder to my sd card.
Now I would like to cut back the file and paste it back to the original folder which in system file...
But,without the "sh" file in /system/bin/ folder,the root explore .apk can't work
So,I would need some expert advise...
You could just re-flash you rom.
Yes you can. You need to use the 'adb' tool. Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630611&stc=1&d=1308537076 and extract it to a folder, then open a command line to that folder.
Connect your phone, and make sure USB debugging is enabled. Copy the file from your SD card to your computer. If you do not have S-OFF, you need to go to Clockworkmod recovery on your device before this will work.
From the command line, do adb devices to see if the phone is connected properly. Then do adb remount to mount the system partition as writable. Then do adb push C:\path\to\filename /system/bin/filename to copy the file. Then just disconnect and reboot the phone.

Hi guys,
This might be a common question/issue but i've tried to search and tried many ways. However i still am not able to do it successfully.
I'm trying to ADB push a ROM zip into my internal sdcard on my phone. Here's the steps i have used:
1. Open cmd in windows and locate the ADB path.
2. Plug phone into USB and boot into recovery.
3. Mount /sdcard/
Whenever i try that it always gives me "Error mounting /sdcard/". Why is this so? Do i need this step to do an ADB push?
I also tried doing ADB push without mounting /sdcard/ and it says file transfered in my cmd prompt window on my PC but i couldnt find the ROM zip file anywhere in /mnt/sdcard/.
Am i doing something wrong here?
Btw i'm using an SGS2 GT-i9100 with CM9 - 20120722 nightly (CWM version 6.0.1.0)

And you are sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone? No need to do any kind of mount for ADB push command to work.

No. Just connect the phone and enter ADB devices. Your phone should show up then.

Great i can use adb devices. But now idea why it doesnt show my device ID correctly.
anyway i tried ADB push like this:
1. put my rom zip in the same folder as adb.exe
2. open cmd
3. type in "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard" (without the quotes)
4. i get error "failed to copy to 'ROM.zip' to '/sdcard': Is a directory"
Any idea how do i copy something into my /sdcard path?
edit: okay nvm i solved it. forgot another / after /sdcard.
I installed the Galaxy S3 Retail Mode found in Google Play but had problems setting it up so I uninstalled it.
Now, I have a folder in /sdcard/ named RetailMode that contains photos used by the RetailMode application. But no matter what I do, I can't delete it. Can't delete any of the photos either.
I tried changing owners and changing permissions but failed. I even tried via adb shell.
Any ideas of how I can delete it?
Thanks in advance!

Could try running a KIES update or one of the Jellybean OTA's that will wipe the internal sd card
Are you trying to do so as root? If you open a terminal (download Android Terminal from the market) and run:
Code:
su
rm -rf /sdcard/RetailMode
(upper/lower case is important!) what is the output?
Yes. Tried via ConnectBot on the phone and adb. Issued the exact same command you posted.
The reply was: rm failed for -rf, No such file or directory
I wonder what the problem is...

Reboot?
Tried that first. No go.
Since Retail Mode is installed and activated as a Device Administrator, I think it modified some settings. I just don't know what those settings are.
I don't want to re-flash so hopefully someone can help me with this...

first you have to deactivate RetailMode as an administrator. than check if is also disabled in Accessibility also, just in case. than try to delete it. It might work.
Did that already too.

Install a BusyBox from the market (if you already have it, reinstall). if "rm" is trying to remove "-rf", it's NOT a standard "rm", which can explain your problems. Then try again.
After having followed the above: Should you get a "permission denied" as root (execute 'whoami' on the console to make sure you're root!)
then the file(s) is most probably flagged as immutable.
Executing the following will then resolve the issue: chattr -iR /sdcard/RetailMode
This is what I get when I issue that command: reading flags on /sdcard/RetailMedia: innapropriate ioctl for device

Hello
Some of application such as Sygic, Aptoid, Waze and others cannot access to sdcard unless I reboot.
When verffying with Root Explorere I have noticed that the default access to Sdcard is R/O. As soon as I change that to Read/Write every thing goes right.
The problem is R/O keeps come back and apps cannot run until I do modification again.
Anyone can help please as to fix permenantly this issue.
Thanks

There are two ways
1 the easy way is an app from playstore to do that at every boot
Are many can do this
2 the hard way is a script
You can paste it to init.d folder or script manager execute at every boot
Do you have gtab?
And sd card should not have sysrw option
Something wrong with install of rom

Peculiar problem. Will have to do some tests and look at some logs to find out the cause.
1. Can you create or delete files/dirs. on the SDcard, and do these changes persist after a reboot? Or do they vanish--like the changes never happened?
2. What's the output of this command right after a reboot?
Code:
$ [B]mount[/B]

There is no such device as a gTablet 7.7. Is this the tablet you have?
1. Use the standard file manager app and create or delete some files and directories on the SDcard. Reboot the gTablet. Verify that the changes you made remain after the reboot.
2. The $ character is just a prompt, used to indicate that the commands that follow can be executed by any user. Don't type that into the Terminal emulator app. Type in only the stuff shown in bold.
3. Setup adb (see the sticky threads) to make entering commands and collecting logs easier.
4. From now on post the exact error or diagnostic messages that you see. Or, make screenshots and post them.
I am very sorry to post my message here by mistzke.
