I really hope someone can help me. I don't know what else to do.
My rooted slide was stolen last week. Just got a new one but of course it with 2.2.1 and I am trying to root it. I made the gold card, installed Adb, and followed all the directions find here to root the phone but below is what I am getting.
I really need to get this phone rooted.

I don't think you are using the correct windows path for you file you are trying to push. Try using the file paths in your adb commands.

I tried the superoneclick and all I got was device not found or wating for device. I couldn't find a error fix for that so that is where I stopped. I have a new MT3GS 2.2.1. Nothing I have tried from last june in 2010 until today has worked. Even in a shell when I do adb it just comes up device not found and yes I have done all the changes to the phone with the charge only shutting down the wifi and debugging oh and screen on. I had to get a new phone since I did a OTA update and when I try to make a call my phone reboots all the time. T-Mobile sent me new phones but they all do the same thing and it is a HTC problem so I need to root and get rid of HTC
Did someone have the files for the goldcard method and can be gentle enough to send them to me Ill be really thanksfull, please I have done the oficial update and lost my root. Help me out please I know how to do everything just needs the files cause links are dead.
Pm me or send to my email please

remote object 'dd' does not exist
I tried and got the same errors...
Would it help to push busybox then try the adb pull?
EDIT: Nevermind. The reason none of this is working is because the block is only readable by root. I'm still a little too squimish to try the temp root thing, but that's the only way to get the file.
Here ya go.
HTC Amaze boot.img
Can someone return the favor an post a stock recovery image. I ruined mine and now I cannot do a factory reset or reboot into recovery.
After temp rooting the phone do this:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Thanks,

Will do so after phone arrives (and if i don't brick it with temp root + permanent fix). Hope you get it earlier, as that will be end of week at the earliest.
I used NVflash to originally flash Recovery on G2X - can Nvflash be used the same way here?

Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, it will also let member do things manually instead of relying on update ZIP's all the time. Besides of explaining how to use a simple program such a quick ADB Pusher, i will also explain in depth the commands of ADB through the actual command line interface, so here we go:
First of all we will start with The command line ADB, the quick adb pusher tutorial is further down the post.
Before we start explaining some of the code what is used in ADB, it is important you know what it is, it is called the Android-Debug-Bridge.
In order to even get ADB to wokr you need to follow these procedures:
Settings -> Developers options -> USB-de bugging
Then check that box, it will make you feel like a boss.
Now once you have done that your android device, is now setup for both development and ADB. Next you are going to plug your device into your computer, via a usb cable.
Once you have done that you need to go to the directory of your ADB interface, this is where you have the android SDK installed too, on a linux or mac based system this could be:
Code:
cd /home/yourusername/android-sdk-mac/tools
Once you have the ADB interface loaded into your terminal, if you type help it will show something similar to this:
Code:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator with
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
envivornment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>:<port> - connect to a device via TCP/IP
disconnect <host>:<port> - disconnect from a TCP/IP device
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> <local> - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(see 'adb help all')

<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
Now that you have ADB running here are some simple commands on how to use it:
How identify that your device is being recognised by ADB:
Code:
adb devices
Once this has been typed it should show something like this:
Code:
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT26GW507639 device
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>
If there is a line what says "HT26GW507639" with "device" at the end your devices is successfully recognised by ADB!
How to pull data from your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceADBNUMBERHERE] pull /system /the directory you want it saved too
This command will pull all the files from your devices system directory, to the directory you told it to be saved too.
I did the pull command on a PC and I was able to get all the data from following directories on my Desire C:
/data
/system
How to push data to your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] push /system/app/whatever.apk
This command will push the files you wish to your phone, though this command.
The most basic ADB commands
ADB push, as explained before this command is used to send files to your device
Code:
adb push
ADB pull, as explained before it pulls files from your phone, and makes a copy of them.
Code:
adb pull
ADB Install and example of this code would be "adb install c:\users\app.apk"
Code:
adb install c:\users\app.apk
ADB Shell, this command begins a shell connection to the device on the other end.
Code:
adb shell
ADB reboot, it does what it says
Code:
adb reboot
ADB reboot recovery, this also does what it says
Code:
adb reboot recovery
ADB reboot bootloader, this also does what is says, like the ones above.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
ADB remount, this remounts the devices file system for editing etc...
Code:
adb remount
ADB Shell commands:
cd, this command changes directories in your devices filesystem.
Code:
cd /system/app
is, this command listes all of the file present in the directory you are at.
Code:
is /system/app
rm, this command removes file from your device.
rm /system/app/whatever.apkcp, this command copies files, and is very similar to the cat command below.
Code:
cp /system/app/whatever.apk /sdcard/whatever.apk
cat, this command is also used to copy files to your device.
Code:
cat /system/app/whatever.apk > /sdcard/whatever.apk
exit, this command exits the ADB shell.
Code:
exit
If any of you are having any problems, read the FAQ first before posting a question in this thread, happy pushing!
If you think any other commands should me added to this section, PM me about it.
As explained above, the quick ADB pusher is an interface over the code based ADB. I will be a much easier approach for new user of android to get to grips to, that is why I am including it.
Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, so here we go:
First of all you want to download the quick adb pusher program, this is in both this thread and the revolution Rom thread on XDA, the link for the program is listed below:
Quick ADB Pusher
Now you want to make sure your phone is plugged into your computer, but do not put it into USB storage mode. Make sure your USB de-bugging option is enabled it is located at:
Settings --> Developer options --> USB De-bugging
Now you will start the quick ADB pusher program, once it has started it should detect your phone. If it does not then post a comment in the thread below and we will resolve the issue.
Watch the video below to clarify a few things, such as how to copy system apps etc...
Again I hope this tutorial helps some people out, remember to read the FAQ first before posting,, to prevent the same questions being asked time and time again.

Me too
Sent from my HTC Desire V using xda premium
I will when I have time guys, if you want more guides and stuff, surely you can smash the thanks button right in the face for me. To show your support, and that you appreciate my work.
Creating our own custom roms
Yup. It really would be a great tutorial for newbies to get started to make things, which once they could only appreciate. I am myself good at programming and algorithms, but Android development is quite alien to me. I consider myself a potential developer, if only would I get a kick start at ROM making. Also we could be able to support unknown or local market devices. I think that would be really beneficial for the entire Android community to see new budding developers with their innovations. :angel:
Hit thanks if you agree.

It told me my devices wasn't rooted?
When trying to push a file to my internal storage on my Moto X does the file need to be located in a specific location? I am trying to root my device and need to push a file to my device. I am very new to this, and have adb working and my device showing up when i run "adb devices". I have a folder on my desktop titled "android" which contains adb, fastboot, sdk, and eclipse. Do I need to save the files I want to push to the root of this folder on my desktop? Thanks for the help!

I'm just learning to code and honestly as of 6 months ago I didn't even know how to turn a computer on although I practice and take classes I'm petrified I'm going to screw up my computer. Anyway, my tablet is stuck in the recovery mode on a permanent loop so I can't put it in debug development mode. Please help me fix it. I can't afford a new one and I use it for work when I'm at a job site. I downloaded the Android Suite bundle zip (the one that said recommended) also the sdk tools zip, the quick adb pusher and the lollipop image file, lollipop rom file. I've tried every one of the commands from your site and many many other sites and it's not fixing my tablet.

Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, it will also let member do things manually instead of relying on update ZIP's all the time. Besides of explaining how to use a simple program such a quick ADB Pusher, i will also explain in depth the commands of ADB through the actual command line interface, so here we go:
First of all we will start with The command line ADB, the quick adb pusher tutorial is further down the post.
Before we start explaining some of the code what is used in ADB, it is important you know what it is, it is called the Android-Debug-Bridge.
In order to even get ADB to wokr you need to follow these procedures:
Settings -> Developers options -> USB-de bugging
Then check that box, it will make you feel like a boss.
Now once you have done that your android device, is now setup for both development and ADB. Next you are going to plug your device into your computer, via a usb cable.
Once you have done that you need to go to the directory of your ADB interface, this is where you have the android SDK installed too, on a linux or mac based system this could be:
Code:
cd /home/yourusername/android-sdk-mac/tools
Once you have the ADB interface loaded into your terminal, if you type help it will show something similar to this:
Code:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator with
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
envivornment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>:<port> - connect to a device via TCP/IP
disconnect <host>:<port> - disconnect from a TCP/IP device
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> <local> - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] <file> - push this package file to the device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
DATAOPTS:
(no option) - don't touch the data partition
-w - wipe the data partition
-d - flash the data partition
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
Now that you have ADB running here are some simple commands on how to use it:
How identify that your device is being recognised by ADB:
Code:
adb devices
Once this has been typed it should show something like this:
Code:
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT26GW507639 device
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>
If there is a line what says "HT26GW507639" with "device" at the end your devices is successfully recognised by ADB!
How to pull data from your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceADBNUMBERHERE] pull /system /the directory you want it saved too
This command will pull all the files from your devices system directory, to the directory you told it to be saved too.
I did the pull command on a PC and I was able to get all the data from following directories on my Desire C:
/data
/system
How to push data to your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] push /system/app/whatever.apk
This command will push the files you wish to your phone, though this command.
The most basic ADB commands
ADB push, as explained before this command is used to send files to your device
Code:
adb push
ADB pull, as explained before it pulls files from your phone, and makes a copy of them.
Code:
adb pull
ADB Install and example of this code would be "adb install c:\users\app.apk"
Code:
adb install c:\users\app.apk
ADB Shell, this command begins a shell connection to the device on the other end.
Code:
adb shell
ADB reboot, it does what it says
Code:
adb reboot
ADB reboot recovery, this also does what it says
Code:
adb reboot recovery
ADB reboot bootloader, this also does what is says, like the ones above.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
ADB remount, this remounts the devices file system for editing etc...
Code:
adb remount
ADB Shell commands:
cd, this command changes directories in your devices filesystem.
Code:
cd /system/app
is, this command listes all of the file present in the directory you are at.
Code:
is /system/app
rm, this command removes file from your device.
rm /system/app/whatever.apkcp, this command copies files, and is very similar to the cat command below.
Code:
cp /system/app/whatever.apk /sdcard/whatever.apk
cat, this command is also used to copy files to your device.
Code:
cat /system/app/whatever.apk > /sdcard/whatever.apk
exit, this command exits the ADB shell.
Code:
exit
If any of you are having any problems, read the FAQ first before posting a question in this thread, happy pushing!
If you think any other commands should me added to this section, PM me about it.

Hello (this is my first thread ever in the XDA forums, I'm a newbie),
I am currently trying to install xRecovery 0.3 onto my Xperia x10, using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571 .
I am also doing this on Mac OS X btw (V. 10.8.4).
I am experiencing some difficulties though; I am stuck on the Installation part (Option A: Install the zip package via your custom recovery). Step 1 and Step 2 are done 100%. However, I am stuck on Step 3, which is putting the commands into Terminal. Whenever I input "rm -r /sdcard" into the Terminal, it always says "rm: can't remove ' /sdcard' : No such file or directory". Is there any way to fix this?
