I am trying to pull the Sprint_Core.apk out of Damage's 2.5 rom and try to mate it with this 1.0 rom.
But every time I try and pull it it will simply give me the adb options, or will say no such file. Here's what I'm doing:
adb remount
adb pull system/app/Sprint_Core.apk C:\My Documents
I have also tried, making /system writeable but still no avail.
Can someone direct me to how I'm commanding this wrong?
Thanks!
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app/
rm Sprint_Core.apk

That would remove Sprint_Core from the phone & I think is just trying to get a copy of the Sprint_Core from DM2.5 to use with another ROM...

See if this works:
adb pull /system/app/Sprint_Core.apk "c:\my documents\"
Make sure "My Documents" exists in your c:\ drive.
Try this
adb pull system/app/Sprint_Core.apk C:\Sprint_Core.apk
no remount needed it will put right on your c drive dont do that rm stuff unless your tryin to remove it oh wait according to my adb cheat sheet that actually wouldnt do anything without adb shell in there

He can then just extract the file from the update zip.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the correct ADB command for removing an app from the /data/data folder?
I recently installed a new ROM on my nexus one and it came with both Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher installed. I know I could just NOT use the one I don't like but I'd rather remove it.
I tried:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/data/org.adw.launcher
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AND
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/data/org.adw.launcher.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But neither worked.
Any suggestions?
I'd appreciate it.
I used root explorer and just deleted all apps I didnt want from /system/app
(ADW, facebook, calculator, amazon mp3)
And I think you have to use /system/app instead of /data/data
adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
or try this
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell
/system/app
ls (this shows you all apps installed, search for the launcher)
rm -r [name of the file you want to remove].apk
Isn´t the app itself in /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk ??
oops, thats what I meant. Just copied his adb line.. edited my post now, thanks
Thanks guys, I got it to work.
I appreciate all your help
Hi there... i tried the same commands but i get directory not empty.
i'm not trying to remove the whole directory but just an apk.
i tried it both of windows and linux to no avail.
thanks in advance.
Hi guys,
sorry if my english isnt so good...
i'm in trouble with ADB..
i want to upgrade my swype keyboard on my NEW M1 rom eu....i got the 1.58 and i want to try the 1.60..
i found a thread on this forum with commands for upgrading the swype like this way:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
pm list packages -f | grep swype
rm /system/app/<restOfApkPathFoundInAboveCommand>
pm uninstall <value after apk= found in result of 2 commands above>
exit
Install normally. If you want the apk in the rom:
adb push <newSwype.apk> /system/app/<newSwype.apk>
adb remount
adb shell
pm install <newSwype.apk>
(found here-> LINK)
I'm stuck at the beginning:
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
9000ec2a228b device
C:\android\tools>adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory
my phone is rooted and in debug usb mode..I dont understand how can I go ahead...
what can I do?
thanks

are u using the NEW M1 rom too?
Rooting doesn't automatically give you remount permissions AFAIK.
i just use this command
Code:
adb push test.txt /sdcard/test.txt
and the copy is ok....i found the file in the sgs sdcard...
The command adb remount is for the /system directory (for set write permission) .... i think it cant find the directory /system on the phone......why?!?!

Are you using the internal ext2 lagfix? I think that causes problems with the adb remount command. It doesn't work for me either.
Same results using a different ROM?

No lagfix installed at the moment..i installed lagfix when i was on M2 but i think that reflashing removed the lag fix...is it right?

adb remount as well
Trying to remap hard keys, adb remount along with push and pull do not work. Depending on whether im in shell or not I get no such file or directory or file not found errors. I can change into directory of each of the folders im trying to work with, and look at the file but I can't push it from my tools folder(locally) or pull it from the system folder. Every tutorial I see has adb remount command first, which fails every time.
Samsung Fascinate
Blackhole-build your own rom
(also tried on jt's latest rom, same issue
Crazy
I'm having the same issue here too. I'm trying to get a custom boot screen on my rooted Samsung Infuse and I've tried every way I can think of and it wont take. Clockworkmod says successfully installed, but its not. Soon as I reboot I see the At&T stock boot. I've fixed all of my permissions and still no luck.
So I saw a solution to do it via adb by typing "adb remount" and I get the same thing u guys are getting. I've got a headache now. Done all I could, even typing "shell", "su", that all goes well then when I tried to push it "adb push bootanimation.zip system/media" I get adb: not found. Smh, is it a device issue?
i think ive got the solution
flash a new kernel..................................worked for me................
Ive had the hero for a while now and now feel its time to root it since there doesnt look like there will be anymore major updates.
I had first tried to root it through the unrevoked method and couldnt get passed code #8: su
It just kept saying that su wasnt a valid code or something like that. so after a couple other tries i scrapped it. eventually found the 1-click way and did that on my phone. But nothing seems to have changed. The frst thing i wanted to do was uninstall the useless sprint apps such as sprint tv etc... but was unsuccessful in finding a way.
If you guy could give me a little insight on what i need to do or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
there is just so much info on this site that it makes it a littl overwhelming for somebody just getting into the game.
best way to test if you have root is open terminal emulator and type su if you get a # in the prompt you have root.
Or from adb try
adb remount
adb shell and if you have a # instead of a $ in the prompt you have root.
If that works then to remove the crappy sprint apps open a cmd and type
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/apps
ls
then look through and find the ones you dont want and type this
rm my_bloat_app.apk (replace my_bloat_app with the app you don't want)
and hit y to comfirm and its gone.

Titanium Backup can do it. Download it and learn how to use it. It will become your friend.
If it can't do it, you still aren't rooted!

If you followed the directions exactly on a version 4 phone, this should work no problem.

Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.
Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.
Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.
Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection
Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on
If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar
I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.
Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??
Download the rageagainstthecage binary
Download the SU binary
Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.
Code:
The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt
you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,
exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and
you should see the #
Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)
32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)
>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)
#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions
#cd /system/bin
#ls -l *su
After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su
At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):
#rm /data/local/temp/su
#rm /data/local/temp/rage
continue with commands
#reboot
Download and install SuperUser from the Market

Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.
I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.
Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.

No idea. I have not used the one click. Create a thread for it. I posted what I know which is adb.

with RootzWiki instructions for Windows, needed the remount and busybox lines to overcome the permission denied when pushing su.
Hey guys, either using S1C or ADB Commands, have we found out if it's possible to unroot this as long as you Nand Backup the stock rom then unroot from there yet? Just because I got this phone as a filler/4g unl. lock and got buyback on it from best buy so I could buy a dual/quad later on when they come out .

Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.

Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.
Any idea when we will have cw on this?

If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.
Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.

Cool thanks for checking. Any benefits for ADB over S1C? Can't wait to finally root and freeze half these apps. I think we need a few more twitters to praise koush for a recovery on this beast.

No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster .
And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.
S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.
Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.
EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.

Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?
make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
