Need mac adb help

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.

Are you sure you typed in right? make sure you use recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2
and not recovery.img unless you renamed the file when flashing. also, it must be on the root of the sd card

Just to rule out any typos, plug your phone into your PC. Mount the phone. Navigate to the SD card and rename the recovery file to "recovery.img". Now unmount the phone. Then go to Terminal and type the following, hitting Enter after each line:
su (if prompted for super user access, just tap "Always Allow")
mount -o rw,remount /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Tell us if you get the same error message.

Noob question about guide

I am wondering if there is any literature online about a simple guideline or something of that nature about the adb shell and commands and all that. I have rooted my phone and used the adb, but dont really understand it just basically copying off guides that were on here. also like loading apks through the shell and taking apks off, and having to rename zips all this stuff im kinda gray on but if someone could maybe point me in the direction of a good place to understand all this i would be very grateful....i am new to this but am very addicted to xda now modifying my phone I am currently using darch's 2.1 and really want to add all the additions but need to know about using the shell thanks in advance guys...people on xda rule the world

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603052
When you use the command "adb shell", that is simply dropping you into the shell of the phone. The phone runs Android, which is a version of Linux. Since almost EVERY ROM has "busybox" installed, you are able to run Linux shell commands on the phone, just as if you were on a Linux install on a computer. So just learn basic Linux commands, and you'll be fine
yea bertman in the stickies there is nothing what im asking about but thanks for your help anyway....mrhinehart so instead of running the cmd promt from my pc i can just run busy box or do i run busy box from reboot recovery?......................ohh snap i found it in the stickes thanks bertman that actually exactly what i was looking for just didnt think it would be in something that had to do with rooting....thanks a bunch man

Change Icon (signing .apk w/ubuntu)

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.
