I need help with this ASAP, as my device is currently in a bootloop because a boot animation app didn't work as well as I thought it would and my Dell Streak 7 will not boot up.
The device does still respond to adb commands, so there's a chance at saving it.
Unfortunately, I cannot get adb push to work, it says no permission when I try to do:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
It says permission denied. I either need to know how to get adb push working or how to COMPLETELY reset the tablet, including all the system files such as bootanimation.zip. I need help as soon as possible

Ok, I can help.
First, you cannot adb push to a system partition. you would need to have unprotected adb running in su mode.
Also, you will have to remount the system partition to rw.
try this code:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip
adb shell "su -c busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb shell "su -c cat /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip > /system/media/bootanimation.zip"

I am having trouble with installation instructions from Walkthru setups hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647707. I have installed the rooted img and it shows i'm running 2.1 (original software was unrooted 1.5) but when I attempted to go to step three of custom recovery "Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:" i am having a hard time not getting errors when I attempt to enter these:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
the question I have is how do you go from command prompt to tools directory? what path is it following instructions from above thread? can I use this "all in one script" even though I am already rooted?
firmware 2.1, baseband 2.40.00.01.22, kernel 2.6.29-5898f66b, software 2.19.605.1 and shows test keys. Currently I keep getting force close on maps and navigation apps.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

have you made it to the tools directory? if you actually go to the tools file on your computer, on the address bar you will see what you need to type.... either (red font)
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
that was after I moved the tools folder otherwise it was:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools
type one or the other exactly how I have it up top....cd and all....

option in bold worked for me
Now if i can figure out how to get the custom rom installed lol
Hmm Im having a similar issue but
I can't seem to get the custom recover working on my eris. I followed the "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.img
4. Close the command prompt and turn off you phone."
to the tee and everything seemed to work.I didnt recieve any error msg on the cmd console but when I boot up holding the Vol+ and power I get and Android under a ! in a triangle and a message that says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command then I only get 4 options and none of them are to flash a rom so I always reboot system. I really want to put a rom on here but I have no idea what went wrong. Im sorry if this is a redundant post. I combed a hundred of them and couldnt find anything like this. Thank you for any help in advance.
Edit: Im stuck. I cannot root my phone because something is wrong with Superuser.apk, and I can't uninstall superuser because I can't get root. And if I try to install Superuser it just fails because it's already in there. So I have no idea what to do now, I need to return this phone to the Verizon store and I can't get the Superuser app off the phone. Any ideas?

should work. I did this to upgrade from market the version that came with the lag fix from the market.
I couldn't get that to work..
What happens when you adb shell into the device, and do 'su'. If you get a # prompt, you have root.
You don't need Superuser.apk to have root access. You can always run the rage.bin process to get a root shell. From there you should be able to at least rename Superuser.apk to something like Superuser.apk.old.
Yeah, I can type su and get the # prompt. Is this what runs the rage.bin:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rage.bin
./rage.bin
?
Sorry, Im new to the ADB process. How would I go about renaming? I wanted to use something like root explorer to find the file and remove or rename it, but I can't get any root apps to work. Obviously because Superuser doesnt function I don't get permission prompt. Root explorer either crashes or says to restart to get the permission prompt.

If you can do "su" and get the # prompt, forget about rage.bin. You have root access, it's just Superuser that's screwed up.
go to your # prompt and do the following
cd /system/app
mv Superuser.apk Superuser.apk.old
See if that gets you any further as far as being able to re-install
I appreciate your help more than you know, really, thanks. I tried that and I get 'failed on 'Superuser.apk' - No such file or directory. Can it be installed anywhere else, like in a temporary directory?
When I try adb install Superuser.apk it starts to then says:
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
So I tried what you just mentioned but using the above directory:
#
cd /data/local/tmp
mv Superuser.apk Superuser.apk.old
and it didn't give me any errors, just the #..but when I went and tried to install Superuser again I got the same error as above.
Ok, new update! I remember someone asking me to do ls in adb shell to get a list of what's in there..so, I did that with /system/app and I got a list...at the very bottom of the list was superuser.apk..this whole time i've been messing with Superuser.apk, a capital S. So, I used your mv method on the lower case version, seemed to work..but when I did adb install Superuser.apk I get Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Didn't work but I feel Im getting closer
Wow, i just happen to look and the superuser app was no longer showing up in my apps..problem solved. Thanks again for everyone's help in this thread and others.
Hi, i need to get this files pn stock 2.2.2 and 2.3.4 without root and with locked bootloader

I think you dont need to put your device to recovery mode. Just use adb shell
to pull: (no need superuser privileges)
ex: format: adb pull [location of the file in the device] [to where the file is save locally]
adb pull /system/xbin/su c:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to push: (need su) since you rooted then:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
then exit from devices, go to your command prompt and type:
adb push <local> <remote>

thank you mate bt i am just a noob and dont know how to use adb shell.can u tell me plzz.this will save my relationship,plz mate
Hi, sorry for late reply
I assume you have installed your device driver properly
Then install android sdk: go to developer.android.com/sdk
Follow the step to install it. If you done it properly,you will find adb command in folder installation name platform-tools
Use it in command prompt. You can type adb /? to learn its capability.
Or you just go frok my post earlier
Hope it helps

You Can't Do Anything With Stock Recovery Other Than Factory Reset In Emergency Conditions.. Install A Custom Recovery like TWRP,Philz for Your Device & Backup As You Wish..

Instead ob adb backup/restore, you can use adb pull/push. But it requires fixing file permissions and ownerships. I do it like this from a Bash shell on my Linux computer:
Bash:
APP_ID="org.secuso.privacyfriendlynotes"
# Backup (RUN WITH OLD PHONE CONNECTED)
adb pull "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
# Restore (RUN WITH NEW PHONE CONNECTED)
APP_OWNERSHIP=$(adb shell stat --format "%U:%G" "/data/data/${APP_ID}")
adb shell mv "/data/data/${APP_ID}" "/data/data/${APP_ID}_backup"
adb push "./${APP_ID}" "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
adb shell restorecon "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
adb shell chown -R "${APP_OWNERSHIP}" "/data/data/${APP_ID}"
#adb shell rm -rf "/data/data/${APP_ID}_backup"

This script requires `adb root`, right? Is it still available in modern versions of Android? I didn't manage to use it even after setting `ro.debuggable=1` in `/system/build.prop`, on my Android 12.
Unless you have any insights about this, I guess I can change permission to or copy an app's data directory with `su` before pulling it.
I also noticed that some files (at least the `cache` and `code_cache` directories) in an app's data dir belong to a different group. I'm wondering whether setting the ownership of everything to the same user and group could cause problems in the future.
