umm yeah, adb push <file you want to push> /sdcard
Also google "android commander"
Is there not an option to toggle usb in clockwork recovery? Nvm that, try "adb usb"

would it look like this?
adb push C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator.HARRIER\My Documents\Downloads\Frankin_Final.zip /sdcard
Or do i first have adb shell and then the command?

Never tried with a file path that has spaces, copy the .zip to your tools directory and try it
adb push Frankin_final.zip /sdcard
or you might have to put quotes around your long path.
Like I said I am not sure, I keep my paths for things like this short.
You do NOT adb shell first ...

I want to edit the /system/build.prop on my phone from my recovery because my phone doesn't boot and I know what change led to that.
How can I do this? Can anybody give me nooby instructions on how to do this?
I think I may have to use ADB pull/push, but how do you use it? Also, can I do it via moto-fastboot?
Thanks.

Boot to recovery, go into mounts and storage and mount /system then use adb to pull build.prop off, edit it, then push it back up.

What's the exact command for ADB pull? My Android SDK is saved on C:\
I copied the commands from adb;
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
Open up CMD under administrator privilages (right click the CMD icon and select run as administrator)
type cd c:\
type adb pull /system/build.prop c:\
this should copy the file to the c:\ and when your done editing use the following commands to push it back
adb push c:\build.prop /system/
I accidently pulled all of /system. How do I push it all back? If I don't push it, does it mean that my phone has no /system?
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
all you did was make a copy of the files...
Thanks!
Thanks for your advice everybody, but in the end, I ended up reflashing Rom. However, this situation has at least given me experience with ADB commands.
Hey I'm havging a simple adb issue. I'm trying to push a file via adb to the root of my sdcard but I keep receiving "Failed to copy.......Is a directory. What does that mean, and what could I be doing wrong? Thanks
Here's what I've tried:
adb push cd C:\Users\David\Documents\Capture.JPG /sdcard
adb push C:\Users\David\Documents\Capture.JPG /sdcard
cd C:\Users\David\Documents\
adb push Capture.jpg

you're typing incorrect paths and commands.
first you need to cd into your tools, mine looks like this:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
then it'll be in your tools folder and you'd do this:
adb push Capture.jpg /sdcard/Capture.jpg
by the way, you probably coud've simply mounted the phone as a disk drive and transefered the image that way too.
it is in your best interest to learn more about adb, I made a links thread with a few links to adb guides, just click my avatar to find my threads. also if you ever have a quick question feel free to ask in the q+a thread in my sig.

First cd to the directory that the file you want to push is in. So if its in documents, do:
cd \Users\David\Documents\
Then do : adb push Capture.jpg /sdcard/
That should do the trick, assuming you have adb set up properly to execute commands from any directory (adb.exe must be set in PATH)

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 soft bricked my One. I have a rom to flash but have no idea how to push it via adb. I am downloading the Android SDK now but can someone point me to a very clear step by step tutorial on how to push via adb? Everything I find on the internet seems to be geared to those who are already familiar with command prompts. I am not.
thank you.

I cant get adb installed on my computer I think. When I go to start, cmd and type adb i get "adb is not a recognized command".
Run adb from the directory you installed it. Also on a mac put a./ dot slash in front of the command

Find adb.exe in your hard drive. When you downloaded the sdk you unzipped the files somewhere.. I'm assuming you didn't add the path of adb.exe to your environment variables (if you did you would be able to type in adb commands from any directory in cmd prompt).
So navigate to driveletter:\adbdirectory\
From this directory you should be able to type in adb and get feedback

You don't run adb as an application, you run it in command prompt as an MS Dos command.
Adb is located in the tools directory of the sdk..not necessarily it's own directory. I was just saying to navigate to where that directory is from within cmd prompt.. I.e if adb.exe was located in c:\android, you would go to "cd c:\android" then run "adb commandhere"

Fastboot is a command line utility used to modify and interact with the Android filesystem through USB on your computer. You can easily download and setup ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) and Fastboot using this utility found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269. You will also need to make sure you've installed the USB drivers for your device in order for fastboot to function properly. To access fastboot run the following command from command line (Make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer settings first):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You can then flash your recovery image with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Let me know if you still have questions.

And if i write the comand to fast bood and then use Android Ultimate toolbox to flash the recovery image it just sits at waiting for device and if i cancel it and do it again it just says i need to fastboot...

You can also flash recovery from ADB shell as root by running the command (Make sure that the recovery image your using is meant for your device, and is placed on your internal storage):
Code:
cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/{path-to-recovery-partition-block}

For example if I wanted to flash a recovery on my Nexus 10 without using fastboot just using adb shell I would run a command similar to this one:
Code:
cat /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmodrecovery.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
If you can provide me with output of your recovery log file by going to /cache/recovery/log I can tell you which partition is your recovery partition that you need to flash.

The /cache directory is located in the root (/) directory you can access the /cache directory and subsequent directories using any root file browser such as this one. You should then be able to get to recovery/log file and view it's contents.

You can also use ADB shell to access the file contents by navigating to the /cache/recovery/log directory and looking at the output. Running the following command should show the output of the recovery log:
