WARNING: I've added this to my script and for some reason it has an adverse effect on the "n" button and Lock Screen if used BEFORE you complete the SetupWizard !!!
WARNING: Again BE WARNED if you do this mod before you finish the setup wizard you will loose the functionality of your "n" button and Lock Screen !!!
I have a feeling poster before me copied and pasted this from somewhere because notice how in his first sentence he says "Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk" but then his script says "Mms.apk"....what happened to Phone.apk because there is no Mms.apk in the system folder on any Nook I have. So below is the corrected script and also this entire process in done in dos instead of in adb;
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.OLD
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD
adb reboot
There is no adverse effect from doing this & it's confirmed after while in NookTools there is no Cell Standy service running.

Want to undo this process?
Code:

adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.OLD /system/app/Phone.apk
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk

90% of the internet are sites posting info from other sites. Be glad he didn't slap on some ads.
I'm new here, but trying to learn.
Your code is:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.OLD
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD
adb reboot
would it make sense to add:
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
before the reboot? Or does that get done automatically upon reboot? I assume it is bad to leave it rw and not reset it to ro?
Thanks for this, I ran 'most' of your other script.
Auto-nooter, your script, adw launcher and it is coming along nicely. Still debating remapping the volume keys to back/menu...

Just use Root Explorer; rename those two files to anything else and reboot. Really, you could just remove them, renaming is just a precaution.

Therefore you need adb
No such file or directory?
I keep getting an error message stating the following:
"failed on '/system/app/phone.apk' - No such file or directory"
If I navigate to that file using Astro File Manager I can see the files, so I can't figure out what I'm missing here.

Try capitalizing the file names.
Not to beat a dead horse, but this can easily be done in Root Explorer. All you're doing is renaming two files.
Not to be a cheapskate, but is there a free version of Root Explorer or a similar app that will do the same?
No
try Astro or Linda, thats free but ads supported

Hi,
I am trying to alter the boot xml file to get my boot sound back. I am on Modaco 2.5.1 now.
Pulled the boot sound xml file, edited. But when I try push back to phone I get the 'android adb push read-only file system' message.
How do I get round this?

Do a adb remount before doing the push should solve it.

adb remount
"remount failed: Operation not permitted"
you cant do it while in recovery,you have to be booted up.
EXAMPLE to remove Sim Toolkit
adb remount
remount successful
adb shell rm /system/app/Stk.apk
Done...
If you still have problems type adb shell, type su,press allow on your phone screen then try again.
If it shows a $ sign when u type adb shell then u got no root son

Hi.
Samsung Galaxy Ace - FroYo 2.2.1 - Rooted with superuser.
Pulled framework.jar from /system/framework/framework.jar
edited it and now pushing back.
I get
failed to copy 'framework.jar' to '/system/framework/framework.jar': Read-only file system.
I know it's a read-only file system, but I need to push that (and other files) back there.
How to allow that process?
My other option is to "FLASH" a .zip file which contains these files, and I think that puts them in their desired location, but:
What is Flashing and how is it done on my device? I've been googling for a couple hours now with no luck. Adobe Flash is taking all the search results, and some found forum entries aren't helping.
Many thanks, I hope for a quick reply.
Hi, same problem trying to push some libs and framework.jar back to where they originally pulled from. I need to do that for Arabization on Samsung Galaxy Ace running Froyo 2.2.1 with Root.
Error returs "failed: read-only file system"
I've beek googling and searching forums for a couple days now with no luck. Tried many things, commands and chmod which all failed.
The other option, which is to use update.zip on stock recovery to send the files home has failed. Got the following:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing upate...
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I couldn't install ClockworkMod to try it there because Rom Manager does not list my phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) in the options it gives me when I ask it to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery into my phone. I don't know which phone to choose form the list:
- Huawei Pulse Mini
- Dell Streak
- Huawei Pulse
- Commtiva Z71 (Boston, blaze, and more)
- Geeksphone ONE
- Spice MI700, Commtiva Link N700 and more)
- Huawei Ascend
Halp.
Oh just noticed I have both last posts. How progress works.
By the way,
#mount -o rw,remount /system
does not help. Trying to copy files using 'cp' commant in shell now simply brings 'file exists'. Is there an 'overwrite' attribute to add that'll fix it?
adb remount worked for me thanks..

It looks like you forgot the step where you modify the flash_image's permissions

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
I had the same thing but I just kept reentering
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin

I'm not aware of that app, and cannot find it in the market myself (do you have a link?)
However, one way to check for sure if you truly have root is run the adb command adb shell and, when you get a prompt, type the command "su". If it returns with a "#" prompt (rather than the "$" prompt that you are seeing), then you have root on the phone.
Most people these days root with either jcase's 1click root for eris: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erisrooter or they use the procedure here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/127861-universal-eris-root-dummies.html
You may be able to use the steps here as well, since you seem pretty comfortable with adb and have that working already: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/125436-detailed-leak-root-tutorial.html
Guys new I found another solution (tested on u8150)
First make sure that you are rooted first.
Open adb shell
Type in su.
Remount the system partition as read write.
Change the owner of system from root to system via chown root system
the exit the shell and push flash_image to system/
also push clockworkmodrecover.img into the system partion dont forget the last /.
then exit.
use a file manager, I used rootbrowser.apk without a memory card and installed recovery.
with rootbrowser copy flash_image to the bin directory.
don't forget to change the owner back to root to the system partition after you finish with rootexplorer or whatever u use even adb can work.
then the rest follows.
The above works only if your'e rooted and have adb.
Goodluck
haha am a genius Installing ROM +Recover without sdcard on u8150
all you have to do is:-
1. Make sure u have installed clockwork mode recovery on your device and have su binary.
2. Open adb with the device normally on.
3. Remount the data partition as read write using mount remount in adb .
4. use adb and push the cynogenmode.zip or any rom that fits into the data partition using
adb push romname.zip /data/
5. Reboot into clockworkmod recovery using the various options available.
6. This is what to do if you don't have a sdcard.
open adb with phone connected and run
adb shell
mount /data /sdcard
then go back to the main recovery menu and wipe dalvik cache only
then choose update from sdcard
flash your rom and tadaaa.
your'e done.
NB:CAUTION MAKE SURE TO FLASH A ROM THAT DOES NOT WRITE INTO THE DATA PARTION
THIS CAN BE DONE BY LOOKING FOR A FILE CALL UPDATE SCRIPT IN THE zip OF THE ROM U WANT TO INSTALL
Am going to make a post about this later.
Goodluck
Lol, 3 and a half year break between responses.
The problem with flash_image & dump_image is that it doesn't work on devices devices which use emmc (recent phones)and have
mmcblk0
and cat /proc/mtd won't work here either.
This means that you have to use dd to write to this devices.
I wonder how guys determine the partitions to use on such devices, and someone should hint as to what is going on since it seems manufacturers seriously don't want people to exploit their devices.
hey guys,
ive just started to learn how to modify apks and use adb.
my problem is that after i pull the file, i modify the icon i want to change, re-sign it and push it back to the phone. after i reinstall, the icons have not changed :S i re-pulled it, and the icons in the drawable_hdpi file are the one i wanted.
also, completely unrelated to that.... in adb when i try to run adb remount, it says permission denied, but im rooted and i even tried running the shell root beforehand aswell.
i ran a search and followed the various instructions from the different threads and forums but im just stuck at that point
thanks guys

I know there are a ton of these topics here, Still having problems.
I'm trying to push a apk to /system/app
First I used adb shell and used su to remount /system/app
example:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
I did this part successfully.

The problem is I don't know how to push a *.apk thur a "adb shell". If I try, I get "push not found"
They only way I know how to push is using a regular linux terminal.
example:
Code:
linux_user:$ adb push /path/to/apk /system/app
however this only works on my Evo 4G (custom rom). On my Samsung Epic 4G (stock rom) I get a permission denied.
I tried adding a su like:
Code:
linux_user:$ adb [color=red]su[/color] push /path/to/apk /system/app
however, that does not seem to be a valid command.
I think I know what my problem is but I don't know how to solve it.
I think the problem is the default user is not #. For example in "adb shell" the default user is
$
and after su
it becomes
#
how do I fix this without switching to custom rom?
I hope I explained this in a way someone can understand.
Searched all over these forums and could not find a solution.
As a work around I installed an Android Terminal Emulator
then from the Android Emulator,
su
cd /sdcard
install name.apk /system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Best work around I could think of. Did I use the correct syntax? the emulator did not have adb or push.
Use Root Explorer
Try To put Your APK in system/app
change ro to rw
Then set the permission as same as other app in the system
then reboot...
I hope it will help your problem....
Hi guys!
I created this thread mainly because many useful things can be done in Terminal emulator. I will show you some simple commands which are useful.
Very useful if you don't have Root explorer when you need it.
Make sure you take a Nandroid backup before you try out just in case you can restore when you do something wrong!
You can get terminal Emulator from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Note: Most commands need root. So type su and press enter and grant superuser permissions to Terminal Emulator!
First type this command before using any of the commands below just in case(needs root)
Code:
su
Some useful commands:
Turning device off (Turns your device off very fast!! ):
Code:
poweroff
Rebooting:
Code:
reboot
Rebooting to Recovery
Code:
reboot recovery
Rebooting to download mode:
Code:
reboot download
Forcing Most Apps to install to SDcard(Root needed with Terminal Emulator, no need root with ADB):
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
Alternatively, you can type 0 at the end instead of 2 for Auto location install mode or 1 for Internal memory install mode
To check what the current install location is:
Code:
pm getInstallLocation
Mounting R/W in system(Use with caution)
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t /system
If above one doesnt work, try this.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Unmounting R/W in system.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t /system
If above code doesn't work, try this
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Moving files from sdcard to system (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
busybox cp /sdcard/<path> /system/<path>
Example: busybox cp /sdcard/demo/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Changing file permissions to rw-r--r-- (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
chmod 644 <path>
Example 1: chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk
Example 2: chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (This command changes the file permission of all apps in the folder to rw-r--r--)
Changing the current directory:
Code:
cd <path>
Example: cd /sdcard
Listing all the files and folders under the current directory:
Code:
ls
If you want to view all the files and folders in your sdcard, type:
cd /sdcard
ls
Making a new folder:
Code:
mkdir <path>
Example: mkdir /sdcard/newfolder
Removing files (For System files, Use after mounting R/W)
Code:
rm <path>

That's all for now. I will add a few more later!
If you have any more new commands or if I have given an improper command, feel free to post it in the thread
Thanks for reading.
Have you any idea on why if I were to enter pm set-install-location 2(SD card), the next line would be "Killed"?

No problem. This is the output from the Terminal Emulator. The bold command changes the default install dir to the SD card:
u0 [email protected]:/ $ pm set-install-location 2
Killed

I never got that problem on adb.
Let me see....
This:
mount -o remount rw system
Is much easier than the previous one to mount readwrite.

That is the use of the bootanimation command. You can stop it either by pulling battery or closing terminal emulator!
But what I did to stop it was to rotate my phone to landscape and somehow close terminal emulator.
But in ADB it is easier to stop using exit command.
