Is that through ADB or Terminal Emulator? I had him run that through TE and it said directory does not exists (or something like that).
ok i do that in terminal emulator and wut is it for?
This is in the wrong section

it says " unable to chmod /data/app: operation not permitted"
login as root before running the command

So, I had facebook for android installed and recently update to cyanogens latest ad somehow it got deleted. Could have been a theme that removed it, as I didn't notice it until after I applied a theme. The icon was still on my home screen, but not in the app tray and the widget is gone.
Anyway I when into the market and it says its installed, its not and the option to uninstall or open is grayed out.
Any way to fix this?
In order to get it fixed for me I had to go into adb and
Code:
adb shell
rm -r /system/app/com.facebook.katana
rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.katana
exit
adp push Facebook.apk /system/sd/app
The app still didn't work but I was then able to uninstall it in the market and reinstall the market version and it has worked fine.

I get "can not remove /system/app/com.facebook.katana"
The reason you're getting that, is because it doesn't exist in that directory, try the second command, and see if it gives you the same error.
put the apk on sd and try this :
1. Open a Terminal Window:
2. Type the following:
- su
- mount /system -o remount,rw
- cd /sdcard
- cp "appname".apk /system/app

this didn't work for me anybody got a different answer.
Boot into recovery and try "Fix uid app mismatches" or you can download the App Installer by Flipz and run his Clear Cache thingy (www.geekfor.me and the go to downloads youll see app installer). Or if you have the 1.5.1 recovery you can clear the delvik cache in there somewhere.
Couple of options for you..
or just re-install the voicemail app..
app is attached

You should be able to Extract the ZIP to the root of the SD card, open Astro move into the SD card folder and just click on the APK. Then open it with Program Installer(i think thats the option, someting close).
If it errors, post back the message.
I moved the .apk i extracted to /sdcard/ and opened it with app manager and chose install. The error it gave me just said voicemail could not be installed on this phone.
I am also getting the error, "application not installed" when trying to install.

I have the voicesearch.apk in my /sdcard. I have done the command
su
"cp /sdcard/voicesearch.apk /system/app/voicesearch.apk".
I get the following error:
cp: cannot create 'system/app/voicesearch.apk' : read-only file system.
I am using Eugene's {ROM}[32B G1 / MT3G] Eclair v2.4 w/ Camera 1/13/10
I do not have an ext2 or swap. Trying to get the most speed out of it i can. so that is why im running everyhing from internal. I dont install that many apps.
Any help?
Thanks.
u need to remount the /system folder as rewritable. I dont exactly know the command, but u can do it through adb pretty easilly.
adb remount
adb push C:\voicesearch.apk /system/app/voicesearch.apk
Hey great! Thanks for the help. Ill give it a shot
I am using the PRS complete rooting guide. And when it tells me to type cat /sdcard/su > su, i am getting this error message - cat: can't open '/sdcard/su': No such file or directory.
Can anyone help with this?
Do you have su on your sdcard?
use unrevoked. one click root
just use the one click method by unrevoleved its easier
Su is not on the SD card. The sd card is a brand new PNY card. I have Su in the sdk/tools folder.
Then obviously, that command will not work. Use the unrevoked method if you are unsure what these commands do/how they work. Less headache on your end.
where is it located?
maybe i'm missing something obvious, but why pipe the text rather than just copy the file?
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but that command is curious.
This is what it's asking me to do.
From PRS Complete Rooting Guide
Now type the following commands to make it persistent through reboot
Code:
adb shell
su
export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
cd /system/app
cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk
cd /system/bin
cat /sdcard/su > su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su /* IF YOU GET AN ERROR HERE DO rm /system/xbin/su THEN REDO */
chmod 06755 su

I don't know what that guide does, but it doesn't seem right --- it'll mess up the privs, that's why the old root was written as an update-payload.
It's redirected I/O since you can't copy across filesystem boundaries -- ie /sdcard to a different mountpoint.
So if I reboot my phone now, do you think I'll lose root and have to start over?

Either way, it shouldn't matter much. If it didn't work or you lost root for any reason, just go to http://unrevoked.com/ and click on the image for the Incredible. Today unrevoked released version 3 of their tool. This will root your phone and flash the custom recovery all without your needing to do anything in a shell.

AND - if you appreciate unREVoked's work - please donate. They do amazing work and they do it all for free! We're the lucky ones to have such [email protected] developers out there who do this kind of stuff so that we don't have to figure out the exact second to push in our SD cards, push files to the SD card, and then push them to the phone at exactly the right time...... just download, run, and you're done.
Just use the unrevoked 3 you will save plenty of pain and struggle
unrevoked3 worked! Thanks for the help guys.
No problem were glad to be of assistance
I have busybox 1.6 on my captivate i see on www.busybox.net 1.17.3 is out. I have downloaded it from the site and its a tar file with a folder with a whole bunch of folders and files. How do you install this?
Are you familiar with the phrase, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it?"
I advise you to heed its warning.
But if you must proceed, a quick google search for "how to install busybox manually" brings up this very good result: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/82573-busybox-manual-install-how-guide.html
Edit: By the way, love the avatar. Great album.
Yes i understand if its not broke don't try to fix it but i'm a OCD updater! Would there be any advantages of updating it? P.S. I saw Megadeth and Slayer a month ago they rocked!
Only advantages I can see are having a couple more bug fixes and maybe 4-5 new commands built in.
Download Busybox-1.17.2 HERE
Extract busybox to your SD Card
Make sure you are in PC Mode and Debugging is enabled in Applications options
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/
cd system/xbin
busybox --install /system/xbin/
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot
You can also use Root Explorer or whatever file browser you may use to copy busybox to your system/xbin folder. Some people use system/bin but I prefer xbin...just a habbit.

Ya, I read that and got really scared.
What is PC mode and where do you type these commands? (Vista user)
Ok, figured out how to type in the commands and stuff, but I get stuck on the "cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/" part, I get "cp: not found" I tried lookin up other methods and I keep getting stuck at the same part - trying to move the folder to the xbin folder. adb push gives me the same error - adb: not found.
any help would be appreciated.

Are you rooted? If your answer is yes, just download Busybox from the market and let the app do the installing for you.

Brilliant! Sooo much easier, but I'm not NAND unlocked, I'm z4rooted so it wouldn't install. Tomorrow I'll see if I can root through NAND.
I'll break you yet AT&T!

I think you're seriously confused. The Captivate isn't a NAND locked phone. Generally when you root, busybox is installed. (I think. At least it always was for me.) You could also try installing Titanium Backup and have that install busybox for you.
