SD Card? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my atrix following the guide on the app " Ubuntu Installer" it tell me to extract 2 files i downloaded to, SDCard>Ubuntu. then to go into treminal app and type in
su
cd/sdcard/ubuntu
but after the last line it always returns
sh: cd/sdcard/ubuntu: Not Found
any ideas?! this is KILLING ME! iv trying making a ubuntu folder in both my external and internal storage, it just makes NO sense to me, i even tried doing it through ADB shell

It should be cd /mnt/sdcard/ubuntu (space between cd and /mnt

Adb 'push' doesn't take, why?

Whenever I push, chmod, then reboot, my device reboots but nothing else. Adb DOES recognize my device, I can install/uninstall, remount, etc... So wat?
I'm try'n to get a modded Ziggy script to run on boot (to further undervolt- others have gotten to run)
I've tried manually pasting in unit.d folder, then manually fixing perm.s but after I reboot, the permissions have reverted n nothing has changed.
Yes, I'm a noob, please help.

I've gotten weird problems with adb in Win7 by not running cmd as an admin
Ok, well I'm the admin. (only 1 user acct.) so I should be good

Maybe you're pushing whatever to a system folder not mounted with write access? I know if you try pushing to say /system/etc/hosts and you dont have it mounted in write access and have root permission (on the phone in both cases), it will reset it back to the original on reboot.

Crap, I think ur right. I was fixing perms thru adb w chmod, but AFTER I pushed.
But regardless I don't think I set as R/W.
Also, wat would cause me not to be able to set permissions manually (for individual paths) using root explorer ( or similar file manager)?

Nope, doesn't change a F'n thing. God I wanna swear soooo bad. almost more than I respect this forum.

K, I found that adb thinks I'm mounted as R/O tho I'm mounted as R/W. WHY
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Dunno offhand; you're not being very descriptive and it's hard to read what you're saying. Try a different approach, like using sshdroid pro (with putty or xshell) and the command line there instead of adb. I dont really use adb to push/mod things on the phone unless there's no other choice (like rooting your phone). If you're using a custom rom, they generally have a small script built into them to mount the system folder(s) as r/w (type sysrw or sysro).
It was as simple as having slashes backwards, lol, figures.
Adb still thinks I'm in read-only tho. I tried "adb remount" to no avail.
I'm not familiar w/ the other things u mentioned (i can barely read em til I change my font)
R those things I DL? Put in my SDK?
I'LL check em out

To be more descriptive: I'm using virusROM RC1B2 w/ updated Ziggy kernel (bfs).
I have a modified script (from Ziggy) that I recently pushed to system/etc/unit.d that I'm tryn to run.
After I push I type "adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/04vddlevels" (file name).
Then adb says "can't chmod" cuz the file system is "read-only"
I try "adb remount" n then re-entering chmod n it says nothing n nothing happens.
I am mounted as R/W so I'm confused.
Hope that explains it btr, Thnx 4 the help!
Edit; I also have a "tweak" zip file I flashed from adrynalyne to enable script to run on boot encased the Rom isn't set up to, tho others (one that I know of) has had no problems. He hasn't been able to help either.

then you log into it with either
http://www.netsarang.com/products/xsh_detail.html
or
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
or if you're using linux or osx, you can do it natively on the terminal line with the ssh command.
You can transfer files over sftp (with ssh) using something like filezilla http://filezilla-project.org/
Tutorials:
http://www.netsarang.com/tutorial/xshell/list

http://psychologyit.rutgers.edu/helpdocs/filezilla.html
There's plenty of pages out there on ssh if you search google though. Just read up. It's the primary way to communicate (securely) remotely with a linux/unix server. It encrypts your traffic to and from a server (in this case, your phone). It also means no cables (though you can do that with wireless adb also).
Basically, it's a way of remotely using the terminal built into android (since it's linux) without having to use adb.
try this (all one line):
(for write perms)
adb shell mount -o remount,rw,noatime,nodiratime -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
(to set back to read only)
adb shell mount -o remount,ro,noatime,nodiratime -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
if that doesn't work, then you're not root, so you will have to type:
adb shell su -
to get root before doing the other commands
Cool Thnx, yeah I have seen that b4, I'm tryn it(adb thing 1st) now.

Ok, I typed: adb shell mount.... N got "Device or resource busy" ?

Next I tried: (all one line) "adb shell su -adb shell mount... n got permission denied. ??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
if you do it all as one line you have to put a ; in between the statements so it terminates the last command before doing another
Ok, wat does "device or resource busy" mean?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q="device+or+resource+busy"+android
Do I type: "adb shell su-" (then hit enter) ? Cuz I get "su- not found"
There's not supposed to be a space between 'su' and '-' , correct, cuz then I get a '#' sign n adb freezes.
Wow I'm a mess, lol, Thnx 4 help, maybe I should do some studying n come bak more prepared!
Yeah. I here ya. Thnx. Again

As long as its in $PATH and not in sdcard (no exec permissions) it should work.

ad push <archive location> <internal sd>
Replace what's in <> with the proper path
An example for pushing an apk to my nexus 4 maybe something like
adb push adfree.apk /storage/sdcard0/
But I tend to first open terminal/cmd in the location of the file I want to push so I don't have to enter all the C:\users\demkantor\desktop.... And so on

Can you tell me basic commands, to know where I am, to see the folders of my location....
Sent from my TOUCH97 using xda app-developers app
You can try a few things like
mount
Or
adb shell
cal/proc/partitions
Or
ls -l /dev/block
Or
busybox df -hm
There are plenty of guides all over xda and the web on how to use adb, look one up and if you can't figure it out let me know and I'll try and help further

If you have root & busybox installed you can run this script.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
busybox sleep 3
if busybox mount | grep vold/179:61; then
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
chmod -R 777 /sdcard
chmod -R 777 /data/media
fi

place this file "swapint2ext.txt" on your sdcard and type the following
with a terminal emulator
Code:
su
./sdcard/swapint2ext.txt [B](if on your internal sdcard)[/B]
./sdcard/external_sd/swapint2ext.txt [B](if placed in your external sd)[/B]
with adb
Code:
adb shell
su
./sdcard/swapint2ext.txt [B](if on your internal sdcard)[/B]
./sdcard/external_sd/swapint2ext.txt [B](if placed in your external sd)[/B]
There is a lot more info on the subject in the general section. Look for the titles starting with swap internal or something similar. There are like 3 different threads on the subject. I'll send you a link later with some more info, but that will be later later

Hi,
i have "don´t permission", when i type this one in terminal emulator.
Any idea? My phone is rooted. I rename the "swapint2ext.txt in .sh", is this correct? And the path is "sdcard0", is this also correct?
And also i try to execute the "swapint2ext.sh" with the Root Explorer. Works fine, but i can´t install Fifa 14 for example. Not enough place...
Thanks Thomas

You are getting permission denied because it needs root access. Read this
