How to push files using busy box in the terminal emulator

Hello folks, i have a quick question... i have cyan mod 4.1.99 installed on my phone which im sure comes equipped with busybox. I am trying to find the commands that i would type into terminal emulator to push .apk files without having to use adb.. my pc went up and all i have is my g1 phone now. Is it possible to do what adb does like install, push, and pull files through terminal emulator and busybox? If so what are the commands, or is there a thread with a list of commands? Thanks in advance

to install an app
busybox install <path to apk>
there may be an arguement im missing.....but it should still work (if you put in a random argument or do -h or -help, it should give you the lists. i dont remember what they are though)
for moving files, use the mv and cp commands (mv = move, cp = copy paste)
ie
cp /sdcard/app/heroled.apk /system/sd/app

Im trying to copy a file to system/app/ but it says " read only file system"
So i type in a command i found " mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/black/mtdblock3 /system"
But then after i put in the command it stills says read only. Is there a non pc method to remount the system as read/write ? Or should that code work? Another thread said it should change the system

(there is a file on my sd card)
with this my hard keyboard got the german layout. but on every rom update it changes again to the US layout..
is it possible to make it easier then typing all the time this?
thx for uor help

You can try this:

You have to manually push the keyboard files using adb....something like this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push c:\usr /system/usr
adb shell reboot
Thats assuming you got the folder usr on the root of your C hard drive....you can get that folder out of CMod, WG or almost any other 1.6 rom here. If you need any more help, just ask

In your case, you are going to need the "usr" folder out of a german rom or something, and place it on the root of your C drive.

[GUIDE] How to Remove Pre-Installed Apps for FREE

First, you need to install the drivers:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/d...R&prd_mdl_name=SPH-D700&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P
Then you must be rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775110
Next, get the most current SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the zip and put it where it's easiest for you to get to on Command Prompt. I put it in my C:\ for extremely easy access.
Now, open up Command Prompt and put in these commands in order
1.
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.
Code:
adb devices
3.
Code:
adb shell
4.
Code:
su
5.
Code:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
6.
Code:
cd /system/app
7.
Code:
ls
Now you should see a list of all the pre-installed Apps on your device. To remove these apps you must use this command:​
Code:
rm "app_name.apk" or rm "odex_name.odex"
Here is a list of all the pre-installed apps on the stock Epic ROM and an explaination for most of them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773142
-------------------------
Here is my suggested list to use:​
Code:
rm amazonmp3.apk[LEFT]rm Asphalt5_DEMO_ANMP_Samsung_D700_Sprint_ML.apk[/LEFT]
rm MediaHub.apk
rm nascar09-prod-release.apk

rm sfl-prod-release.apk

rm SN28-1092-sprint-signed.apk

[LEFT]rm SprintTV.apk
[LEFT]rm SprintTVWidget.apk[/LEFT]
[/LEFT]
[/LEFT]
rm SprintZone.apk
[LEFT]rm MobileAP.apk - Only if you don't pay for the $30 hotspot[/LEFT]
rm MobileAP.odex - Only if you don't pay for the $30 hotspot

Titanium backup is easier and less time consuming then messing with ADB and is free.

Eh, not really. ADB is much more resourceful and has alot more uses and options if you learn how to use it. This is only one of it's uses. Titanium Backup is just a waste of space IMO. It is very limited on the free version.

Or you can use SDX App Removal if your interested in only removing the preinstalled apps (must be rooted).

At the expense of sounding like a noob, which I guess I am when it comes to Android, I'm getting a real-only error. I rooted with noobnl and Titanium Backup tells me I'm rooted. What might I be doing wrong?

Try using this as the mount command:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Or better yet use one of the GUI options unless you are familiar with linux and save the headache. If all you want to do is remove apps there are far easier methods that are less time consuming. Titanium backup and SDX removal tool are both free.

Hmmm see I got that error too when I first did it, but then I did it again and it worked perfect lol...

Mine is Wildfire, I have some issues:
Can not do this:
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
or
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
But actual there exists a directory /system/app, in which I can see all the .apk and .odex files. When I tried to delete a file, it says that 'rm failed for File-Name, read-only file system'
What should I do? thanks

Now I can mount, to over come the read-only problem, however whenever I delete a file, it says that: rm failed for filename.apk, Directory not empty
You guys have any advice? thanks

I tried to reboot in HBOOT/Recovery/ Partition Menu, then mount /system. Then I could remove apps in adb shell successfully. can anyone confirm that doing like this is ok?
My wildfire was rooted with unrevoked3

If it works then it should be fine

This is confirmed to still work with the DI07 update

My noob question is I am using titanium backup to remove the sprint bloatware like media hub and it looks like the program removes it but when I exit titanium it is still on the phone.

Titanium backup is the mark of the noob in my opinion.

thanks, i had been searching around for the adb commands to mount the system r/w so i could remove the bloat.

SDX Stock App Removal is tops in my opinion.
Quick, simple, and allows for back-ups.
And I also don't think Titanium is the "Mark of the noob". It would be more like the "Mark of the ADB is unnecessary for stock application removal"
Also I don't think this should be in development. And if you know ABD commands you should know that.

This thread is okay....but sdx..and root uninstaller are awsome. Thanks for this guide though my friend very useful info for those that want to experiment with adb....

More options is a good thing. This is also helpful for the noobs who want to get their feet wet with unix/linux shell commands.

[Q]: Read-only filesystem

Hi!
I have rooted my phone (LG Optimus 2X) and mistakenly deleted some files.
I have these files, and want to push them back using adb, put my problem is, that when i try to mount the system in read / write mode using "adb remount" i get this error: "remount faileded: Operation not permitted".
I can't figure out how to fix it, i can pull files etc.
I have also tried to use the adb shell, and copy the files from the internal sdcard, but i'm getting the same error.
Only read-mode.. :/
Anybody who can help, fixing this problem?

If you want to mount /system just write:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then you're good to go

A little easier to type...
Mount r/w
Code:
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
Mount r/only
Code:
busybox mount -o,remount -r /system

try: adb shell mount -o remount,rw system

Code:
adb remount
It should do the trick too

lol, that's shorter indeed

adb remount will only remount an existing mount, it won't create one.
It's not clear what the OP wants.
You don't need rw to deodex a ROM because you certainly don't want to write to system whilst you're doing it.
Also, I thought the stock ROM was deodexed?
To mount system in recovery, which will give you rw access and allow you to pull the files you need you just type:
Code:
mount /system
or
Code:
adb shell mount /system
Because system is included in /proc/mtd

to all: the answer is:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

Hi, this seems to work for me:
Open a terminal (Command Prompt).
type adb shell
type su
You should see a # in your prompt.
type mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and Bingo! Your /system is now mounted as r/w. [NOTE: There will be no confirmation message. Your command will simply be printed again, and that means its a success)
The possible error might be that you forgot the su part. I'm making a wild guess that it stands for superuser. The first time I tried this, I didn't know about the 'su' and I wasted a little time because of that.
Hope this helped.
