I am trying to install the new Hero OS, and can gain adb mount, but when the file I want to upload is on my desktop, adb wont see it. I have also tried adding it to the tools folder of the sdk itself, and it still doesnt see it.
Can anyone help me out a bit? I have even tried writing the full path to the file, but i dont think i have that correct either. So far i have tried these:
adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s
"cannot stat "app_s": No such file or directory"
I also have tried various forms of this, but still get the above responce.
adb push C:\users\username\app_s /system/sd/app_s
Is this a problem with not see ing the file, or am i maybe trying to push it to a non-existant directory on my sd. I dunno, i have searched on here for anything adb, but when you search, nothing comes up.
I have been listening to the stupid htc jingle for over an hour simply trying to figure out how to push a file, so please help me keep my sanity..
you did install the SDK right?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html
if so, you need to add it to your path or give the full path to where you installed it every time you execute the command
you're even not very smart, or completely lost.
lolz, i'm j/k
i'm a mac user too, pm me you ichat i'll help you out.
i looked at my PATH,
(/Users/tslate/Desktop/fastboot:Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:
/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:
tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin)
and added the folder to the tools folder and the fastboot folder, but this still doesnt work for me. Still getting Cannot stat 'app_s': No such file or directory exists.
Any ideas?
need mac adb help
I dont understand but my thread was moved to general for some reason so here it is again.
I cannot make adb find local files to push to my g1. I can and do have adb mount though. My PATH is:
/Users/tslate/Desktop/fastboot:Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
I have tried adding the local file to both the tools folder of the sdk itself, and to the "fastboot" folder mentioned in the PATH, but i get the following error:
cannot stat 'localfile': No such file or directory
Anyone have an idea?
It was moved to general, because it is a general android (poorly worded) question.
Please don't make duplicate threads.
I'm sorry, but I guess I didnt really know there was any other way to ask. I and prob many others here are trying to learn what you guys already seem to know. If I'm going to be called stupid, I would at least like to know the proper procedure is for asking.
I didn't see anyone call you stupid, except one person who said "you're even not very smart, or completely lost." but was just kidding.

Ok, so not stupid, but unable to write a question correctly. So what's the correct way for me to ask this? Im not trying to be a smartass, but when things like this happen, and people don't understand what they did to receive such treatment, it reflects poorly on the xda dev community, and makes it hard to appease the powers that be and get my question answered. So how can i reword the aforementioned poorly written question differently?
For that I point you to some threads, which are all stickied by the way.

I actually did do a search through both those adb threads, as well as a search through the general developer forum, which returns 0 results for the term "adb". My question isnt answered in either of those threads which are mostly windows based from what i have seen.
Since no one can really give me an answer on how to make the question better or more to the point so I dont get locked/moved/etc. I'm going to assume there isnt one.
Thanks to those that actually tried to help.
Thread locked. Don't create another one until you learn to read.

I wasnt to sure about what I was doing but I did everything and it all eventually worked out well, with a couple scares lol. Im new to the rooting scene. I mean Im pretty savy when it comes to certain stuff and I was easy to install beta leaks and builds with BlackBerrys for 3 years. Im new to Android since the Captivate came out, so Im slowly trying to learn the tricks of the trade

The instructions seemed clear as day to me. Put the phone in debug mode, use adb to push the files, execute a shell script, use sqlite3 to allow side loading, change permissions on the files you pushed, and reboot.

I think what they are looking for is where to put the files that they download. I know in the rooting tread, it was missing. I also think some people do it differently, so it may help just to let them know how you find it easiest to navigate to them, etc.
Personally, I take the files that were downloaded and extract them all. Then make sure you have downloaded the android SDK program and put it on the root of your computers hard drive such as drive C:. Then add those files you downloaded to the "Tools" file within sdk.
To navigate to them with command prompt, it would look like: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the commands as listed in the tread.
Hope this helps.
Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but if you are comfortable flashing roms, flash Cognition 2.2 (its already rooted).
Good luck

I'm running W7 and am having issues with adb. I'm a noob to android but I'm learning. Anyway, I tried your suggestion of adding the files to the tools directory but when I enter "su" the system returns "su: not found". Any help?
Moved to Q&A.
Ok guys please help me. I am fairly new to linux so all of the commands and script dont click with me as it will in a few more months so please be thorough if you can.
I have been searching and trying different things for almost 3 days now and Im just going to ask for help before giving up.
For now im trying to get familiar with further hacking for modifying apk's and roms but I am having a terrible time getting the correct information on how to resign an apk to make it installable on an android phone.
In order to keep this simple lets assume this is what Im trying to do.
(im using ubuntu, and every tuturial I see is for win or mac. I have seen 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3271434) for ubuntu but it seems that it either does not apply to me or is simply over my head at the time with my limited ubuntu knowlege).
Im wanting to take avp.apk and change the icon. I replace the ya.png with a properly sized png named ya.png. I then have tried both ways of either deleting the meta-inf file (do I need to do this?)
And then after that I am stuck. I have tried some different autosign and testsign and different tools but Im obvousially typing something wrong or just not getting something right because it simply does not work with me.
Can someone please help me or tell you what to do or point me to a youtube vid? I keep coming up with the same threads and videos at this point and none of them seem to apply to me (for win/mac).
It seems like what Im trying to do should be simple enough. So please show me what Im being dumb about.
Hey everyone, I've been following the Honeycomb developments on the nook, but havent posted yet. I just got my nook this weekend and immediately installed deeper blue's Honeycomb ROM on the SD card without rooting my nook.
It is great and he deserves all the praise in the world, but unfortunately does not have a ton of use to me without being able to download items from the market.
I'm not very experienced in programing in general or using the android sdk or adb.
I tried installing the market using the instructions in the following places:
w w w.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
w w w.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-android-3-0-honeycomb-and-market-on-nook-color/
After 2+ hours of frustration, I was finally able to get my device recognized in the command prompt using "adb devices" or something like that.
However, when I copied and pasted the commands, the command prompt text just scrolled and then the command prompt closed all together.
Alas, there was no market on my honeycombed nook.
Any ideas where I could have been going wrong?
I could really use an extremely basic step-by-step here.
Unfortunately, I wont be able to test anything until I get home from work later tonight.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips.

I saw that, but didnt know if it was the same thing I was looking for. I dont remember if I tried it or not.
Is it just as simple as it sounds? What directory exactly do I extract it in? The platform-tools folder?
Then just double click that one file and it should automatically install the market on my device?
Are there any prereqs? Like I said in my original post, I THINK i got my device recognized in the command prompt, as it gave me a serial number in the response.
Sorry for the noob questions, but I am truly unexperienced.
Yup. It makes the files pushable. From there just copy paste his code

Hello,
I am the Mobile Technology Editor at AddictiveTips and both the guides that you quoted here were written by my writers and heavily edited by me. The issue lied in you not following one crucial step of the ADB guide - it seems you didn't add the tools and platform-tools folders of your SDK installation to your computer's PATH variable as outlined in that guide.
Doing that basically makes things a lot easier as you don't have to copy files for any such hacks or tricks into the tools or platform-tools folder of ADB and it keeps those folders clean, containing only the default tools files. It also eliminates the risk of you deleting any of those essential files when you are done with your customization and delete the files that you pasted there earlier.
The script you used was awesome as well...jleecong has done an excellent job at putting it together and I will update my guide to include it. Just like you, I've also got to thank forsaken82 for bringing it to my attention as while the guide I featured does install Market, enabling you to install the rest yourself...this one installs some other useful apps for you directly too. =)

Thank you for your reply, but I have already figured everything out using a script.
I actually did add the tools and platform-tools folders to the PATH variable though.
Either way, the issue has been resolved.

It should definitely work if you added those folders to the PATH variable correctly - it has been tested by many users to work successfully. I am now curious on what sort of error you received but most likely you wouldn't have saved the output from those commands. In any case, as long as you got it working, it's all good. =)
EDIT: Just out of curiosity...did you copy and paste the commands there all together or did you enter them one by one?
Yep. I'm on linux. Windows was just too slow. But now I'm trying to start theming again but I just can't figure a way to edit ant .9.png image files. On Windows I would use Xultimates D9PC but i don't believe that option is available on Linux. I would just use the draw9patch compiler provided in my SDK but i get an error stating that the "draw9patch.jar file cannot be found" ....tho I certainly see it is in there. I have of coarse Googled the problem, nut while it does seem to be a common issue, I have yet to read of it being resolved. I figure if anyone knows the answer, its the brilliant folks at XDA, so...LOL .....here I am!

I am not familiar with the D9PC program, but have you tried to run it with WINE?
Ok, Thnx guys! (i love XDA)
Let me respond to u all at once. Ok, so sorry I wasn't as informative as possible.
First, I'm "'cd'-ing" to the draw9patch's dir, but I've also tried just moving the files over to my platform-tools folder.... I still get the same error: "draw9patch.jar cannot be found". Finally, even tho 'cd'ing to 'tools' folder should yeild the same result, I added it (tools) to my path and I still get the error message. Like I said, Google seems to agree that the issue is quite common .....who knows?
As for a virtual box? I've heard of it.... Just not sure Wut it is. Is that like booting an OS ROM 'flash'?
And as for "Wine", I just googled it and I'm thoroughly excited! That sounds perfect! I'd also heard of that but also wasn't sure what it was ...wait, is that a virtual box? O see I need to create a "mock" C drive to install to. Wut version of Wine should I use? On-line, its suggested to use an older version but the advice seems a little dated. I'm running 11.04 "Natty".
Hey Thnx guys! I really appreciate all the help.
