what i want to do is to be able to use adb in any directory in windows instead of having to "cd" to the platform-tools directory and then using it, it makes it easier for when i want to copy a certain file to my tablet, i can just go where the file is at and use adb there. i know how to do it in linux, all i have to do in linux is make a shortcut of the adb file and copy it to the /usr/bin/ directory but when i tried that with windows, making the shortcut to adb and copying it to the c:\windows\system32\ directory, it didn't work. any help would be awesome!!! thanks in advance!

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 :

Good Luck
I keep getting an error when trying to run fastboot. Any idea's?
c:Android>fastboot oem get_indentifier_token
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Do you have adb and fastboot in the c:\android folder?
Yep they are both there. In my tools folder it says that he adb tool has moved to platform-tools/
If you don't see this directory in your SDK,
launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)
and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"
Please also update your PATH environment variable to
include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can
execute adb from any location.
Would this have any effect?
Yes. So you would have to point to the platform-tools folder or move adb into your android folder. Easier to just put it in your android folder so you don't have to navigate to it with the cmd prompt. Or do the PATH thing which I don't know how to do.
All you need in there is:
adb
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot
Then after you get your Unlock_code.bin emailed to you copy that into there too.
I just keep all that as is and then anything I want to flash later I just copy in and then delete after I'm done flashing it. Except for the Amon Ra recovery, I've been keeping the current version of that in there too.
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

Or I think he can push with adb. I don't know the exact commands so if anyone can help with the commands...

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.
Forgive me if something like this has already been asked. I was wondering if I took the adb.exe and the other files from the developer kit and put them in system32 on Windows, would I be able to access adb without having to cd to the folder with adb saved? It's not always optimal to have a folder of apk's and other things I've been sideloading to different devices. Thoughts?
Create a CMD shortcut on your desktop. Properties > Start In > Enter your Fastboot/ADB directory.
Yes that would work but its not optimal, best to create a path in environmental variables

Hi all-
I have unknowingly renamed the framework-res.apk file to framework-res.bak, following the suggestion of a website (who had said to copy the file over, not rename it). I had no idea that would make the phone instantly useless, and render everything inoperative
I was rooted. All I need to do is copy the backup back over, but how?
I am able to get into CMM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7 and can mount the system directory and see it on my PC, but for some reason the framework directory is invisible. There is talk on the web about getting to a prompt and typing:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
But how in the world do you get to a prompt? I don't see it on any menu, anywhere and the adb command is unrecognized on my OS.
Hoping I'm not ruined...... thanks for any advice.

To get ADB, you first have to install the Android SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then, you have to put ADB in the PATH variable.
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
After that, you can just type adb in the command prompt and it should work.
Hi,
I downloaded the SDK tools and got the adb command, but when I mount the phone with recovery I still don't see any framework directory.
I got to DOS and navigated to the directory where my copied framework-res.apk file was, and ran:
c:\adb\adb push framework-res.apk L:\framework\framework-res.apk
it replied with:
1319 kb/s (7979827 bytes in 5.905s)
However, then I rebooted the phone and it won't get past the SAMSUNG screen at all, it just sits there forever.
- why can't I see the framework directory, even though I have mounted it through CWM based recovery?
- can I see it using the ADB tools?
- has just copying the copied file back over, destroyed the cell phone? I can't possibly see how.
Thanks for any help
OK I found out the problem.
you need to use forward slashes and put the whole pathname in:
C:\adb\adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Thats assuming you have the adb command in the c:\adb directory.
It seems the phone is working again.
WHEW! Man that file is dangerous. be warned.
