I have been trying for some time now,pushing files via adb commands onto nexus one but keep getting cannot copy file read only file error.I am fully rooted and unlocked.I have also reinstalled the android sdk but always get the same error when I push the image file.has anyone experienced this with their phone. I have a feeling its something to do with the SD card but can't be sure.any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I know you must be thinking "Jedi"how can he can he call himself an androidjedi when he can't sort this simple problem (to some of you),but I must say even a Jedi needs to learn!
try adb remount before your command
Dunno if this will help but have tried changing the system to rw then try to push
Tried that no cigar
are you trying to push it into your sdcard or the phone system??
and remember the whole folder name has to be in the push so it woul have to look like
C:\Users\Android>ad push "C:\Users\Android\Downloads\Android\Nexus 1\Phone.apk" /sdcard/files
has to have full path of where you are pushing it from/too.. i have mine sdk setup to use adb in any directory as well why you dont see it in the sdk directory
@ilostchild
Thanks i will try that later today and let you know
As for pushing the file - i am trying to push it to the sd card - but i am not really sure as i am following instructions in the [HOW-TO] Revert HBOOT 0.35.0017 to 0.33.0012 thread in the forum
as i need to downgrade my Hboot from #17 to 12
are the commands different for pushing a file to the phone?
the more i think about i think i need to flash the file to the phone - but i will try your adb command format of specifying the location of the file in the comp

Ooo you want to push to sdcard.. ok then yea, you would type it like this
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb push C:\Users\Android\Downloads\Android\signed-passion-FRF50-from-
ERE27.1e519a24.zip /sdcard*
if you dont have the option to use adb in any directory, then you have to be in the android sdk directory and in tools
cd android-sd-windows
cd tools
adb push(drag the file you want to push in the command prompt window) /sdcard*
sorry i know its detailed and im sure you know all these things.. but it kinda gets the questions out of the way for future problems to come

I've just pushed new Hero Java app into my rogers build and it works fine.
What you basically need is:
Jbed.apk (install with adb install)
libjbedvm.so (adb push /system/lib) - remember to remount as RW.
I strongly suggest to run linux-swap (as it killed all my applications and hanged for some time without it).
Files taken from Drizzy's build.
I just went to getjar.com and d/l the jbed runner, installed and it worked perfectly without pushing it but I haven't found any good use for it, must java programs are worthless on our phones since they were made for regular phones and not smartphones like ours
I have a .jar file on sd, but it doesn't read. Anyone know for what OS i have to download it for (ei: motorola razr)

What is remount as RW? Just want to make sure I get this done correctly.
So I just download it and then:
adb install jbed.apk
adb remount
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

/system is originally read only, you can't write files to it. It's for protection/security reasons. Run the following command, which remounts it as RW (read-write, instead of read only).
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

You can use it to run java (J2ME) apps. Like the ones from getjar.com

Wanting to know the same thing..
You don't need to do all this, I posted before that, go to getjar.com and find the j2me runner and install, it works the same and does work on cyan's roms
Put both files on root of sdcard.. and do this on terminal
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/jbed.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/libjbedvm.so /system/lib
reboot
Or download it from getjar.com like gridlock32404 said..
And yes it works on cyan's rooms..

Chances are you will need to run a fully compliant j2me jad or jar file. as for a jad u need to make sure the jar file has the full path or else it will fail.
java apps made specifically for Blackberries and not for universal j2me devices will not work as well as most java apps for Symbian based Nokia phones and specific Ericsson models.
Also a lot of Nokia apps will not have properly built manifests but those u can go in and correct or build yourself and repack the jar
your best option for downloads are any Motorola or Samsung since 99% of them are purely java based with the exception of the few Win Mob

As hinted at in the other thread, the solution is to delete some stuff from your /system/ directory.
I deleted about 20 ringtones I never use from /system/media/audio/ringtones and then repeated the adb push command. Worked a treat.
push a ROM onto my sdcard through adb?
my win xp is so old it wont read the root of my sdcard unless its only fat32...
so i was wondering if i could do it that way...
ive looked through threads but hadnt found a definite answer seeing as im new to all this
any help would be appreciated!
I am not sure you are understanding the process or I am not understanding the question.
But lets just roll with it...
You can do:
adb push c:\romNam.zip /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will put the romName.zip file on the root of your sdcard (fat32 partition). From there you can reboot into recovery mode (turn off phone, then hold down the HOME button and then hit the POWER button). If you have the CM 1.4 recovery image installed then you can install any zip file and you would just point to the romName.zip file. If you have the CM 1.3 recovery image you should rename the romName.zip file to update.zip and then apply that update from the menu in CM 1.3.
If you do not have the CM recovery image installed, well, then you need to back and read some more.
i think you are on the right track for what im asking...
im using cm 1.4 recovery
lets say i dl drizzys 1.5.5
do i rename it update?update.zip?or leave it as is the way i downloaded it?
i tried putting it on my c drive and naming it update and it didnt work
or course i was using someone elses thread to go by so maybe i did it wrong
Do you have adb set up so it can connect to your phone?
If you have CM recovery 1.4 you do not have to rename it to update.zip but go ahead and do that for this test.
When you say
i tried putting it on my c drive and naming it update and it didnt work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what do you mean?
The renaming didn't work, or the adb push didn't work
renaming it update and trying to push it through adb didnt work...
im downloading another ROM and im gonna try again and see if it might work this time...
Right. But what I am asking is, what "didnt work." Was the file not there on the sdcard after you pushed? Did the CM recovery image fail to apply the update?
the file wasnt on the sd and cm didnt see it to install...
i may have named it wrong...or missed the space between zip and /
i will try again and see if thats what was wrong...
Okay.
When you set up adb did you follow this thread?
If you are not able to mount your sdcard in windows that may or may not be a showstopper. How do you have your sdcard formatted? All fat32 or did you split it up into fat32, ext3, linux-swap?
If you are going to adb push files to your sdcard you should NOT mount the sdcard.
yes...i followed that thread
and i repartitioned my 4gb sdcard as such:
fat32 0 1405
ext3 1405 1905
linux-swap 1905 2001
and i did not mount my phone...i at least saw not to do that in very bold letters so i took it to heart...lol!
Okay, cool.
What does the CM 1.4 tell you when you try to apply the update.zip?
After you adb push the file, go into the device via adb shell.
CD to the /sdcard and do an "ls" and tell me what you see.
If you do not see anything but the adb push returned no errors, your sdcard may be fubar (don't freak yet, there are fixes for it and we will get there if we need to).
If you do see the zip file then reboot into recovery again. But this time do not try to apply an update, instead drop to a console and CD into the /sdcard again and do another "ls" and let me know what you see.
i just tried doing this:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools>adb shell
/ # adb push c:\KiNgxKxROM_Beta1_RedRosieThemev1_signed.zip /sdcard
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
then i tried:
/ # adb push c:\KiNgxKxROM_Beta1_RedRosieThemev1_signed /sdcard
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
then:
/ # adb push c:\update /sdcard
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
nothing
and where do i look in the forums...or how exactly do i cd to the sdcard?
aha!
I see the issue.
You do not need to adb shell then do adb push
it shoul be like:
C:c:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools> adb push c:\KiNgxKxROM_Beta1_RedRosieThemev1_signed.zip /sdcard

adb push is done from your local dos window not from within the adb shell.
Try that out and let me know.
wow!
that did it! thank you sooooo much!
thats just one more step i can eliminate now!
no Problem. Welcome to the world of roms.
care to walk me through how to use switchrom? lol!
all these hero builds seem to crash on me after awhile and i kinda wanna have several to switch to if/when they fail...
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.

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

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?!?!

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?

If your drivers are installed correctly now, use the root tool in development section. Then there are no mistakes. If you insist on the manual method though, you need to put the su file and superuser.apk in your folder titled carol and Start over completely

From my personal experience is best way how to root kindle fire by qemu (development part of forum) its quite easy... to solve problem if your device isn't found I had to create folder .android in my “documents“ like it is when you will instantly sdk
You have to create it via command line... mkdir .android
Create there required file how it is described in qemu thread. Reinstal kindle adb drivers and try qemu once more.. that worked for me like a charm.
Tomorrow when I will be on PC I will post step by step guide
