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.

Try downloading a file manager on your phone.

I need to connect my phones internal files to my pc, so i can access everything in my phone, root explorer or other apps won't allow that.

Root explorer allow you to delete system files.. you just have to change permission for it to work... thrust me I dint know how to do it at the beginning but it works.
You can use root explorer to copy/paste the files you want to your SD card. Or simply adb pull. Either way will work.
Just use adb wireless. You have full access wirelessly that way.

You can always use Droid Explorer.

personally I prefer using the tools google has released for developers all included in the android-sdk package. the main tool for command line access to the device is adb (android debug bridge).
i wrote a quick/simple guide on the basic commands for using adb - [TUTORIAL/HOW TO] Basics of ADB
hope that helps!
Thanks ppl ill give your suggestions a go
Joey your tutorial is noob friendly +1thank you brother.
Can someone post a system dump. I'm particularly interested in the foursquare app that is Honeycomb optimized and bundled only with this model.
Thanks in advance.
I will second the request for a system dump.

Has anyone tried?:
"install the android SDK (developers.android.com)
start CMD
type in "cd c:\PATH_TO_YOUR_SDK\tools (<-- so there's a tools folder inside the sdk folder)
on your phone: Setting -> Applications -> Developer -> USB Debug Mode (dunno how its spelled correctly)
connect your phone with your pc
let windows find your phone
back to cmd console: adb pull /system
the full system dump shall be in YOUR_SDK_FOLDER\tools\system"
Last I knew there was no need for root to do this....

You can still pull without root as long as you have adb setup...
but an easy way for people who don't have that is to simply download a file browser from the market, like say 'AndExplorer' navigate to the /system/app directory and copy out any apps you may want to your internal storage 'sdcard' then either email to yourself to post here or connect to your computer and get the files that way.. I too would like to have the crackle and 4square app, so if someone could do this that would be great!!

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.

Yes. BUT... make sure you aren't removing a vital app, aka settings.apk.

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.
I am trying to backup my phone with "adb pull /mnt/sdcard/ SDCARD20121115" but i keep having it fail in the middle of the backup with
cannot create 'SDCARD20121115\Folder\Folder2\Folder3\File.ext'
: No such file or directory
Ideas?
Still having issues with this and not sure how to backup my entire SD card...
Anyone?
Ok so i think i found the two different solutions to my problem.
First what actually was causing the problem was a folder with a $ sign in it. Using the command it looked like it failed on the file right before that folder so it didnt jump out right away.
Second i used a program called android commander that gives a gui. while this wasnt an actually solution i was able to select all but the folder tree structure that was failing instead of doing hundreds of directories by hand.
If anyone has any questions let me know.
*EDIT*
Looks like i had another failure on a folder. The folder had a trailing space "/storage/sdcard0/folder /file.ext"
Possible the $ sign works but to lazy to test.
