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.
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.

AW: [GUIDE][HOWTO] How to push files using ADB Desire V
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!

My tablet is stuck in the recovery mode on a permanent loop. Please 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. I know you guys don't like stupid questions but I'm feeling like a moron because I can't figure it out. Could someone please please help me fix me tablet.

"No such file or directory"...It looks like you may not have the photon-torpedo.tar in the correct folder on your computer. Did you put the downloaded file "photon-torpedo.tar" in your computer's directory c:/root ? The file has to be in the same folder so adb will know where to look to push it to the correct directory on the photon.
Yes it is in c:root along with the files of ADB

didn't have to do that, so i don't know what method your using
It's from edgan's original post when he found the root method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131
(I should have put the link in my previous post).
Anyway, I don't really know what it is, I just know how to follow directions and it worked for me. Guess you didn't need to do it, so I guess it's a moot point. Just thought that might be why the other poster was having such problems getting root to work.
By the way, thanks for posting the video.

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?

[HOW-TO] Install & Use ADB tool | Android Debug Bridge | Drivers - Videos - Tutorial
WHAT DO I NEED?
FIRST: You need drivers, you should have them already if you are rooted eather with Indirect or Cfoesch methods.
If you don't have them then download ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip [There is NO need to install SDK on Windows]
To install Nook Tablet USB and ADB drivers correctly please watch the following video:
1. Windows
2. Ubuntu Linux

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SECOND: In order to use "adb remount" you need to install [App]: ADB Root Hijack [ADB Runs as Root now] by Indirect
LET'S START...
*All the examples refers to /data/app path you can change to /system/app or any other path you need in your NOOK tablet
- Plug your Nook tablet to your computer
- Open a CMD terminal on Windows:
Start>>run>> type cmd>> click OK (WinXP)
Start>> in search box type cmd>> right click Run as Administrator (Win7)
- Once opened type:
*Let's say your adb tools are in C:\nookroot folder
cd C:\nookroot
adb devices (If you get a code of numbers and letter means your device is recognized, if not then something is wrong with your drivers > Troubleshoot)
adb remount (to change from r/o to r/w)
-----------------------------------------------------
Commands to Fix Permissions: (There is no need of this, when you push files it gives right permissions)
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/appname.apk (for a specific application)
adb shell chmod 644 /data/app/appname.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (for all the applications)
adb shell chmod 644 /data/app/*.apk
-----------------------------------------------------
Commands to Change Owner to Root:
adb shell chown root /system/app/appname.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installing an Aplication .apk
Put the .apk file into C:\nookroot folder and type
Code:
adb install [B]appname[/B].apk
Uninstalling an Aplication
There is an uninstall adb commans that always shows failure!!!
So we are going to use Adb Shell:
Code:
adb shell
# cd data/app
# ls
# rm -r appname.apk
# ls (You will not find this application, you just removed it!)
Ctrl+c to exit shell mode
Push & Pull commands
Pull:
Code:
adb pull /data/app/appname.apk
If you want to PULL all the files located in a folder then:
Code:
adb pull /data/app test
to pull all the .apk's located /data/app and save them into a folder that it will create in C:\nookroot named test
Push:
Code:
adb push appname.apk /data/app
If you want to PUSH all the files located in a folder then:
Code:
adb push test /data/app
to push all the .apk's located in C:\nookroot\test folder to /data/app
Close ADB
Code:
adb reboot (to reboot your Nook Tablet)
--------------------------
adb kill-server (to stop adb server)
exit

I am trying to create a batch file to run the ADB pull command so I can have my PC task scheduler run an Android backup automatically.
The one thing that is stumping me, though, is how to succesfully have the batch file auto date stamp the folder. I have this:
adb pull /sdcard/ /Galaxy Nexus Auto Backup/sdcard %date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-4,4%/
which displays correctly in the CMD prompt, but doesn't run. It instead brings up the list of commands and switches.
If I use the standard:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
it works correctly. Any suggestions on how to get the date stamp idea to work?
Thanks!!!

Hello, a link took me here because i want to know how to use "adb".
I've read your instructions on how to use adb and i search it in youtube to see it in action.
Now i want to know the difference of these commands:
adb install
and
adb push
because im confused. but i believe they're both the same,am i right? to install an app.
and same as the adb pull and adb shell? uninstalling the app.
please, correct me if im wrong
This is a bit confusing... I bricked my Infinity and I need it back ASAP, but whenever I try to push a custom ROM into the SD, it always says "protocol failure", what could this be? I got the adb drivers installed...
Win 8 Driver Signature Enforcement Fix
Well, this is my first post on xda. BTW I am a noob, regular schlub, loser user but I do try to take xda's "find it before you ask an idiotic question" policy to heart. I was able to find this solution before asking for help and thought i would share it here. All I have done is summarize the original post and updates. I hope y'all find this helpful.
the problem i ran into was the drivers in the attached .zip file could not be installed on a Windows 8 machine. The error was a failure to install b/c of an error in reading the has of one of the catalog files. I found a site that gives you a solution to this error.. Here's a summary:
Go to cmd prompt and enter "| shutdown -o -r -t 0"
Wait for bit...
Click TROUBLESHOOT
Click ADVANCED OPTIONS
Click WINDOWS STARTUP SETTINGS
Click RESTART
The computer will restart and list of options will appear before logging in.
Select the Disable driver signature enforcement option. It was number 7 on the list i got.
To reenable the driver signature enforcement, just restart your computer normally.
Since this is my first post xda won't let me link the source site, so here it is below in case you would like to visit it. All credit goes to this guy.:good:

Can you developers help me please!!
I've been doing just fine with ADB, etc. I have been flashing for a long time and now all of a sudden ADB is not working. I've installed SDK twice, unistalled and installed drivers. Did everything. I get it that this just won't work on Windows 7 so I'm back on XP where I never had a problem and currently am. Yes, debugging is on on the phone too. I'm above the basics. When I plug in an LG it just says sooner ADB (something like that and I know your familiar). When I plug in a Samsung device manager says Samusng Android Composite ADB interface. And when I direct the driver install to winsub inf I always get "the specified location does not contain information about your device". Also ADB devices is not recognizing anything either. I event tried this with the Samsung in download mode.
Thanx
Good tutorial, it´s help me a lot. Thanks!!!

Hi, this is a post I just hope will be helpful. When I started using ADB I would look at the internal Help and the formatting was so screwed up it was hard to understand. Fighting with this for the umpteenth time last night I got mad, pulled out a code editor (too bad it wasn't emacs because that's probably the way the file was made-- either that or it was created as a man page) and spent a half hour straightening things out. The help is so much more useful now I'm putting it here in the hope it may help you, too. Now let's see if I should have formatted this as Code rather than a Quote to keep lines from breaking, etc.
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
-a - directs adb to listen on all interfaces for a c onnection
-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 r unning.
-s <specific device> - directs command to the device or emulator with the given
serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL environment 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.
-H - Name of adb server host (default: localhost)
-P - Port of adb server (default: 5037)
devices [-l] - list all connected devices
('-l' will also list device qualifiers)
connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
Using this command with no additional arguments
will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devic es.
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
(-l means list but don't copy)
(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 --list - list all forward socket connections.
the format is a list of lines with the following format:
<serial> " " <local> " " <remote> "\n"
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 forward --no-rebind <local> <remote>
- same as 'adb forward <local> <remote>' but fails
if <local> is already forwarded:
adb forward --remove <local> - remove a specific forward socket connection
adb forward --remove-all - remove all forward socket connections
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] [-s] [--algo <algorithm name> --key <hex-encoded key> -- iv <hex-encoded i
<file>
- push this package file to the device and instal l it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data )
('-s' means install on SD card instead of inter nal storage)
('--algo', '--key', and '--iv' mean the file is encrypted already)
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 backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-obb|-noobb] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|-nosystem]
[<packages...>]
- write an archive of the device's data to <file> .
If no -f option is supplied then the data is written to "backup.ab" in the current directory.
(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks themselves
in the archive; the default is noapk.)
(-obb|-noobb enable/disable backup of any installed apk expansion
(aka .obb) files associated with each application; the default
is noobb.)
(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the
device's
shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)
(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes
system applications; the default is to include system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up. If
the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package
list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the
command line will be included even if -nosystem would
ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)
adb restore <file> - restore device contents from the <file> backup archive
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
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 get-devpath - prints: <device-path>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specifie d device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device re ad-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or
recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader
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 th e 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.
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.
ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.

WHAT DO I NEED?
FIRST: You need drivers, you should have them already if you are rooted eather with Indirect or Cfoesch methods.
If you don't have them then download ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip [There is NO need to install SDK on Windows]
To install Nook Tablet USB and ADB drivers correctly please watch the following video:
1. Windows
2. Ubuntu Linux
SECOND: In order to use "adb remount" you need to install [App]: ADB Root Hijack [ADB Runs as Root now] by Indirect
LET'S START...
*All the examples refers to /data/app path you can change to /system/app or any other path you need in your NOOK tablet
- Plug your Nook tablet to your computer
- Open a CMD terminal on Windows:
Start>>run>> type cmd>> click OK (WinXP)
Start>> in search box type cmd>> right click Run as Administrator (Win7)
- Once opened type:
*Let's say your adb tools are in C:\nookroot folder
Installing an Aplication .apk
Put the .apk file into C:\nookroot folder and type
Code:
adb install [B]appname[/B].apk
Uninstalling an Aplication
There is an uninstall adb commans that always shows failure!!!
So we are going to use Adb Shell:
Code:
adb shell
# cd data/app
# ls
# rm -r appname.apk
# ls (You will not find this application, you just removed it!)
Ctrl+c to exit shell mode
Push & Pull commands
Pull:
Code:
adb pull /data/app/appname.apk
If you want to PULL all the files located in a folder then:
Code:
adb pull /data/app test
to pull all the .apk's located /data/app and save them into a folder that it will create in C:\nookroot named test
Push:
Code:
adb push appname.apk /data/app
If you want to PUSH all the files located in a folder then:
Code:
adb push test /data/app
to push all the .apk's located in C:\nookroot\test folder to /data/app
Close ADB
Code:
adb reboot (to reboot your Nook Tablet)
--------------------------
adb kill-server (to stop adb server)
exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I run "adb devices" in command prompt, it says "list of devices attached" then a blank line.
The drivers for my tablet are fine because in 'My computer' my drive is listed as 'Xolo TW800' along with other HDD drives, without me installing any drivers for the tablet.
What to do?
Thanks

Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit andvanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device conntected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder - See Example Below
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip <------------See Example Below
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery

I had accidentally formatted the storage had no os installed. This sure would've been been useful. Had to do an push took me several days to figure out directory should be /sdcard/0. This seems easier

Hello,
I think some people asked for this, so I wrote down how I did it. I hope it helps for someone.
How to get from Ubuntu on the Meizu 5 Pro to Android.
Here is a little guide of how I installed Android (Flyme, CM and AICP) on my Meizu 5 Pro Ubuntu edition.
My desktop pc is running Ubuntu, so these commands are for the Ubuntu terminal. But should be very similar on Windows, probably.
First, install ADB and Fastboot on your pc :
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fastboot adb
Connect the Meizu phone to your pc with a usb cable. Then power up the Meizu 5 Pro with both the power button and volume down.
You’ll see a screen like this:
Type:
Code:
sudo fastboot devices
If all went well you’ll see a screen with an number/letter combination with the text fastboot behind it.
Now download TWRP_3.0_m86.img from http://xep.8800.org/pro5/.
With the next command you are going to flash TWRP custom recovery to your phone.
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img
This should be done pretty fast. Power off your phone, and restart it with volume up and power button both pressed.
If all went well you’ll see a screen like this:
Now you can copy paste zip files containing Flyme OS and Cyanogenmod, through your desktop file manager while using the USB connection. Then you can use the Install button on the recovery screen to flash the zip files.
You can also copy files to your phone with adb.
Check if adb works:
Code:
sudo adb device
If correct you’ll see something like:
Code:
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
You can download Flyme OS here: http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=10&type=1
For Cyanogenmod look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mei...m-cyanogenmod12-1-temasek-unofficial-t3358744
I will install Flyme OS on my phone, but the procedure is just the same for Cyanogenmod. The next command copies the file to your phone:
Code:
sudo adb push -p update.zip /sdcard/
Where is update.zip is the file on your pc, and sdcard is the destination on your phone. Off course you’ll have to be in the same folder as the update.zip if you copy my command directly. If the download is in Downloads and your terminal shows:
Code:
[email protected]:~$
That means you are in your home directory. So either navigate to Downloads with cd Downloads, or change update.zip to Downloads/update.zip.
Now go back to the recovery. Press Install en browse to /sdcard/ If the operation succeeded you’ll see this:
Select update.zip and flash to confirm. Reboot. The recovery will probably ask if you want to install SuperSU, but that didn't work for me. I needed to download a different version of SuperSU and flash it to make it work.
There it is: Android on your Ubuntu Edition.
Thank you: Faust93 and all other people here on XDA for helping me learn stuff about phones and computers. I hope I can give something back by making this guide.
If you have any question, please ask. I'll try to answer them. I'm also making a back up file through TWRP, if anyone is interested, let me know.
Thank you for the guide. It would be very helpful when I get my device. If it's on stock again soon ?
Is there a way to restore Ubuntu on it? I suppose if you flash Ubuntu again using twrp it would work. No?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thank you!
Restoring Ubuntu is a little bit more difficult, but I have done it several times now. Going back an forth from Android to Ubuntu. I made a different guide about it, just now. Here
But it might not be easy for Windows users. So I will try to see if I can make a full backup with TWRP, so people can recover that. But I haven't tested that yet.
First of all, thanks for the tut
I have some weird problem, after flashing CM (everything went fine), I tried to reboot and it will only reboot to recovery.
No matter what I try.
I tried:
Re-flashing TWRP (I can go into fastboot mode)
Wiping everything & re-flashing cm
Wiping everything & re-flashing ubuntu (your other tut, always boots into recovery aswell)
Also tried the reboot option in TWRP, aswell as hard reboot
Tried changing/repairing filesystem of all partitions
Only method that works is if I erase recovery, then system works fine but I do not really want to have a phone without a recovery
Any other ideas?
EDIT:
I just flashed flyme recovery, used the clean option, re-flashed TWRP and now everything is working fine again
Meizu pro 5 ubuntu
I tried to install android with windows 10 but the procedure doesn't work like ubuntu.
Can please someone post a step by step method from a windows 10 pc how to from ubuntu to android?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fastboot adb
Connect the Meizu phone to your pc with a usb cable. Then power up the Meizu 5 Pro with both the power button and volume down.
You’ll see a screen like this:
Type:
:sudo fastboot devices
If all went well you’ll see a screen with an number/letter combination with the text fastboot behind it.
With the next command you are going to flash TWRP custom recovery to your phone.
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img
This should be done pretty fast. Power off your phone, and restart it with volume up and power button both pressed.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Everything goes good ADB list a device. however when I tell it to :sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img
the terminal says:
[email protected]:~$ sudo adb fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img

-a - directs adb to listen on all interfaces for a connection
-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 <specific device> - directs command to the device or emulator with the given
serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
environment 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.
-H - Name of adb server host (default: localhost)
-P - Port of adb server (default: 5037)
devices [-l] - list all connected devices
('-l' will also list device qualifiers)
connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.
Using this command with no additional arguments
will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devices.
device commands:
adb push [-p] <local> <remote>
- copy file/dir to device
('-p' to display the transfer progress)
adb pull [-p] [-a] <remote> [<local>]
- copy file/dir from device
('-p' to display the transfer progress)
('-a' means copy timestamp and mode)
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(-l means list but don't copy)
(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 --list - list all forward socket connections.
the format is a list of lines with the following format:

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 forward --no-rebind <local> <remote>
- same as 'adb forward <local> <remote>' but fails
if <local> is already forwarded
adb forward --remove <local> - remove a specific forward socket connection
adb forward --remove-all - remove all forward socket connections
adb reverse --list - list all reverse socket connections from device
adb reverse <remote> <local> - reverse socket connections
reverse specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
adb reverse --norebind <remote> <local>
- same as 'adb reverse <remote> <local>' but fails
if <remote> is already reversed.
adb reverse --remove <remote>
- remove a specific reversed socket connection
adb reverse --remove-all - remove all reversed socket connections from device
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-lrtsdg] <file>
- push this package file to the device and install it
(-l: forward lock application)
(-r: replace existing application)
(-t: allow test packages)
(-s: install application on sdcard)
(-d: allow version code downgrade)
(-g: grant all runtime permissions)
adb install-multiple [-lrtsdpg] <file...>
- push this package file to the device and install it
(-l: forward lock application)
(-r: replace existing application)
(-t: allow test packages)
(-s: install application on sdcard)
(-d: allow version code downgrade)
(-p: partial application install)
(-g: grant all runtime permissions)
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

adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-obb|-noobb] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]
- write an archive of the device's data to <file>.
If no -f option is supplied then the data is written
to "backup.ab" in the current directory.
(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks themselves
in the archive; the default is noapk.)
(-obb|-noobb enable/disable backup of any installed apk expansion
(aka .obb) files associated with each application; the default
is noobb.)
(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's
shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)
(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes
system applications; the default is to include system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up. If
the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package
list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the

<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, /system, /vendor (if present), /oem (if present) and /data partitions will be updated.

ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp

Sooo what did I do wrong? Did I miss a command (file location) or (destination)??
Thanks for your awesome work on this.

Hi Tamashii! You should type
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img
.
PS: it's better not to use sudo. You can add an udev rule for your device. You can find some advices here.

Storage full after installation
Hi Thank you for the guide, it is very helpful.
I have installed the Flyme OS successfully. But my phone's storage is showing only 25GB and more that 24GB is occupied. Should I wipe any specific partition before installing Flyme?
low menory
I have the same problem. Any solutions?

Search on root of device for folder phablet
I installed the Flyme as instructed and it worked fine, but now the bootloader is (locked, unrooted) and i can't get it to unlock! fastboot oem unlock does nothing, but says ok. How do i get it unlocked again? This Flyme OS is crap.

I tried to get the unlocked loader in many ways, nothing happened. Maybe there are some craftsmen who can do this. I can upload files like lk lk2 and others, I do not know exactly, but I think it's the bootloader checks the preloader exactly meizu account Officially the manufacturer Do not want to give instructions on how to unlock the bootloader Help tell me how to do this?
ubuntu to android
Get to this stage and get message " cannot load 'TWRP_3.0_m86.img' " and it won't go any further . am i doing something wrong ??
