NookColor Email
This process enables a generalized email client that can talk to any imap, pop, or exchange email server.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Nook.
2. ADB available to you.
3. Email.apk from Android 2.1 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/7wg1ed4eclvb403/Email.apk)
Installation:
At a command prompt enter the folllowing:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push Email.apk /system/apps
adb shell
chmod ugo+r /system/app/Email.apk
reboot
After reboot you should have an Email icon in with your other apps. (with exchange support)
For furth information see my tutorial at: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Email Thanks to rick-home for cleaning it up a bit
There is also OCS support on the Nook Color now!

I think we have just about everything we need to make this an enterprise device folks!

Your tutorial says something different:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push Email.apk /system/app
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/Email.apk
reboot
Just pointing that out as it worked anyway, just saying a BIG THANK YOU

I have successfully installed a Superuser.apk but it does not seem to be working properly. Titanium reports that Su does not elevate to root.
I have debugging enabled and I have connected through adb shell but nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any success? If so, which version did you use?
Here is my method
I download 2nd link from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
After unzip (E:\Android\ROOT\step4\ directory for my example) :
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\bin\su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su
adb install E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\app\Superuser.apk
adb reboot
trying this now, will report
thanks a lot works like a charm..
i can confirm this works perfect
very good... spread 30min to install it yesterday night...
Will be included in new version. Sorry just forgotten
Regards
Bin4ry
You make very good job so no problem for that

I am trying to do same thing with mediascape , but I get error
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]", I am reading on google that its something related to the .odex file, how can I install/or whatever I have to do in order to be able to put mediascape back.
I know I just could restore and than root again and remove rm command for mediascape from ch file, but I am trying to remove more branding apps of telenor firmware and flash and root again with clean system.
PS: Messing with my phone as I don't have any knowledge in programming...just google.
Thx
Hi
You can try to do this :
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cd /system/app
cp /sdcard/apps/mediascape* .
cp /sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager* .
reboot

I got mediascape back as I did't find better media explorer.
One thing can anyone explain what this lines of code mean(Jerpelea's mediascape restore), each separate if u can, I am trying to understand. As I said I am no programmer but I like to learn.
Thanks.
I've tried doing this 4 times... and it's not working ^^;;
Is it missing a step? Or is this all that I need to do?
I get no errors when doing it yet the program isn't working a shown in the screens realunited... ^^;

It's done from a windows dos prompt. In windows, click on START > RUN > then enter CMD. Next do as mentioned. Happy entering
Confirmed... works for me as well.
tinysu: Compatible "su" command for Root Explorer / for HC images and what not?
So, I just installed HoneyComb to my NC's eMMC. Works well!
Unfortunately apps such as Root Explorer are not too happy because the "su" command provided with these ROMs is too chatty and that confuses them.
So, here is a very quiet, working "su" command. With it, Root Explorer will happily remount partitions, etc.
Note that, like the ROM's "su" command, SuperUser is out of the picture so use with care.
To install, using adb:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push su /system/
adb shell
busybox cp /system/su /system/bin/
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
All done. Note that the "busybox cp" should preserve the application's suid bit.
been there done that... lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11304464&postcount=46
no worries.
Even the Superuser application works now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953110\

Hi,
I have just installed wolfs 2.3 with hotfix and am having trouble with adb commands
I have tried pushing files to /data/data and I get this error
Code:
failed to copy 'name of file here' to 'path here' : Permission denied
However, if i boot into recovery and manually mount data it works.
My question is
what is the code to mount the data partition from adb?
I know
Code:
adb remount
mounts the system partition but i need the data partition mounted.
I have never ran into this before, all my adb commands worked whilst the phone was turned on...
any help please.
More issues
Code:
adb remount
does not work....permission denied
Also, using apk manager I cannot push sytem files to /system/app
This is quite irritating
The correct command is:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
works for me.
My S2 is on LA2 with the corresponding CF-ROOT. Since I upgraded to LA2, adb is unable to push a file to /system/app. In this case, I need to push Widgetsoid to /system/app or else I lose all widgets after a reboot. Before LA2, I pushed with adb just fine, but now my push command returns the error "failed to copy: no space left on device." I'm able to push to /mnt/sdcard and my device has plenty of room. I assume, then, that adb is failing to mount the directory for writing. But my adb command "mount -o rw,remount /system" returns with no error. Any suggestions how to re-enable push access to /system/app with current CF-ROOT?
My full procedure for pushing is this:
Code:
> adb shell
> su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# chmod 777 /system
# chmod 777 /system/app
# exit
> exit
> adb push ApkFileName.apk /system/app/
> adb shell
> su
# chmod 755 /system
# chmod 755 /system/app
# exit
> exit
> adb reboot
Emm /system space is different from phone space.
You need to delete some apps in system b4.
Like zinio.apk etc

I know there has been a lot of tutorials how to root the Xperia X10 mini. But almost a lot of them don't work (for me). But there is one way to root it.
It is very simple, you need to follow the instructions, then it will be easy.
1.) We need to download Android SDK, link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.) We need to download SuperOneClick.rar, link: http://shortfuse.org/
3.) Unzip the SuperOneClick .zip and pull out the su-v3, busybox, Superuser.apk, psneuter, and GingerBreak files, and rename the su-v3 into su, and place all the files in adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219/sdk/platform-tools. I recommend changing the "adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219" to something simple like "Android SDK".
4.) Now, you have to use CMD, open it, and type the location of your files, type like this, cd C:/Users/Me/Desktop/Android SDK/sdk/platform-tools.
5.) Now plug in your phone, and make sure your debugging and unknown sources are on.
6.) Now write all the following commands, one at a time!
adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb reboot
And now u are all done! Your phone will reboot, then download Root Checker, and check if you are rooted.
If you write "adb shell" and you don't get "#" in the ending (not the beginning) but "$" then you have done something wrong, check everything that I wrote. If u have some problems, don't be shy to tell me.
Thanks a bunch, this tutorial was the only one that worked for me. What's more, I saw the procedure step-by-step so I saw exactly what was going on.
