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.

You can probably use adb or Terminal Emulator (Free on market) directly on your phone.

Dear SprigganMaster,if I use terminal emulator,what was the initial command?
Cause the 'sh' file I move from system,it seem like a script ,and when I open the scree of emulator,I can't type any things...
For your info,I move the 'sh' file from /system /bin/ folder to my SD card /folder.
by using apk root explore,as a result,without the 'sh' script file in /system/bin folder,when I can't access to root explore anymore-force close.
Then I can't move back the 'sh' file to the system/bin folder.
All those root apk does not work anymore...
Now,I am trying my best to get a way to move back the 'sh' file (which is read only file) to my system folder...
Can u guide me about it? Using terminal emulator or any alternative way to move back the file into system?
Waiting your prompt reply and really appreciate it.
Thankz....^^
Hello peter tham,
Please note : my phone is not rooted. I can't try these solutions and I'm quite new to android. Maybe someone with more experience could help you.
I'm not sure if Terminal Emulator use the sh file too but we can try...
To move file, the command is mv.
To copy a file, the command is cp.
Adapt this command with the correct folder where you put the sh file :
Code:
cp /FOLDER/sh /system/bin/
You will need to be root to copy a file to /system folder.
Usually, to gain root privileges, you use the command su.
If Terminal Emulator does not work, you can try with adb.
1- Download sh file to your computer.
2- open a shell (on windows : cmd, on linux whatever you're using as shell)
3- plug your phone in Charge Only mode with USB debuging On
4- Push the file with a command like this one :
Code:
adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
adb push <local> <remote>
You can find more info on adb here :

and here :

Good Luck
Currently, if I want to add a new custom wallpaper. I make it on my PC using GIMP, save it, plug in my reZound, switch to disk drive, copy the file to my sd card, unplug my reZound, go to ES File explorer, navigate to ex_sd, copy the file, navigate to /system/customize/resources, paste the file, go to home, change wallpaper. Now, I can do all that faster than I can type out the steps, but is there someway to move the file straight from my PC to the /system/customize/resources folder?
Thanks

Just put them on your sd card in a folder called /media/images/ and you can apply them with the gallery

Probably need to adb remount first. Here's my suggestion, make a batch file/script something like this:
echo off
adb wait-for-device
adb remount
adb push somdirectory/newwallpaper.png /system/customize/resource/

That works great. Thanks everyone. Now, what about the reverse? Is there a way to get the files (default wallpapers, apks, etc.) pushed to my computer? I tried running the same script and reversing the file and destination but that did not work.
Edit: Never mind, found it. adb pull
I haven't used adb commands since I was rooting my eris, thanks guys.
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.

Yes USB debugging is turned on. Do i need to be in recovery to do ADB push?

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 tried to search but didn't see anything here. I remember having this issue on another phone but forgot how to fix (not an issue with my Nexus or S3). So anyone figured out how to stop the annoying images from mounting everytime I plug in USB?
I believe you need to remove the CD.iso file.
Once I get my DNA I'll make a bloat free ROM with that and vol wake fixed.

Yup, delete those and no more annoying pop-ups.
Sorry to hijack a topic, but I didn't want to create another forum for the same question.
But, how can this be made possible? Do we have to wait for S-Off? (Still kind of new to this whole thing)
I have tried deleting the .ISO files through Root Explorer, no avail.
I tried to use Rexdog's De-Bloating Mod modified slightly to indicate a deletion of the two .ISO files. (I left everything the same except for the "/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script" File.)
I modified that single file to say this,
Code:
ui_print("Removing Bloatware");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p32", "/etc");
package_extract_dir("etc", "/etc");
show_progress(1, 15);
delete("/etc/CDROM.ISO", "/etc/PCTOOL.ISO");
ui_print("Unmounting Filesystems . . .");
unmount("/etc");
ui_print("Finished");
I was going off on a whim by editing the single file and hoping that it would work, but it doesn't appear to have worked. Is there something I was missing, or something else?

That's only going to work until you reboot. /system is write protected. You have to go onto recovery mount /sys as writeable and use adb to delete the 2 files.

Make sure you install the htc drivers (htc sync is not required) which is the first option when you plug in your phone to the pc.
Assuming you have usb debugging enabled and downloaded the android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#win-bundle and extracted the zip.
Navigate to the platform-tools folder inside /adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools/
In an empty space inside that folder hold down shift and right click, then select open command window here.
Now in the command window type:
adb devices (your devices serial # should be displayed)
adb reboot recovery
On the phone select: mounts and storage, then: mount /system
Now in the command window type each of the following:
adb pull /system/etc/CDROM.ISO
adb pull /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/etc/CDROM.ISO
rm /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO
exit
adb reboot
You have now made copies of both of these files on to your pc and removed them from your phone.
To restore these files open a command window and mount /sys in recovery as shown above then:
adb push CDROM.ISO /system/etc
adb push PCTOOL.ISO /system/etc
Hey guys,
I am trying to get the the "up-most" folder of my HTC Droid DNA. On the phone itself I can get to a folder titled "/" which I'm assuming is the root folder of the phone. I want to get into the "/data" partition on my PC to try to fix a game file that is loading incorrectly. But when I plug the phone into my PC all I can see is the internal storage folder. I tried to enable hidden folders as well but no such luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

You need to ADB pull it and do what you need to change and then ADB push it. However I would do only the folder like /data/Game-O-Pornstar or /data/com.your_game_name
So an example if I wanted to pull the /data/data folder I would run the command (go to android-sdk on your computer where you unlocked your phone and find platform tools or the folder that adb.exe is inside of. Hold shift, right click, choose "open command window here")
Assume first I made a new folder in platform tools and named it calculator.
"adb pull /data/data/com.android.calculator2 > C:\Android SDK\platform-tools\calculator"
It would put the contents of the com.android.calculator2 directory (folder) into my new folder that I created and called calculator. Then when I'm finished I would do the opposite to push it back
I was just trying to put the directions into more common language but here's the link to actually get the commands
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
There's an app called Droid Explorer for the PC that will do this with an interface but the program will often wreak havoc on your adb and fastboot drivers and services.
