Ok so i am trying to install this boot animation and have questions. I am a noob so this is all kind of new to me. My hero is rooted and I have fresh 2.3.3 installed on it. There directions for installing this animation are as followed.
Directions:
1. Put the zip file in your tools folder from the android-sdk-windows
2. Load up Command Prompt (cmd) and go to your tools directory inside the android-sdk-windows folder
3. Load up your phone into recovery and mount /system
4. Type in command prompt
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
What does it mean on #2? I know how to load cmd but then how do it get to that folder and mount the system? I am so lost. I just thought i could plug my phone into the usb and load cmd and start the adb commands. How do i get this adb commands to work? I was also wanting to remove some stock apps from another thread which stated to just type adb commands but i get nothing. Can you please help me to understand this or atleast point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!
#2 means navigate to your Android SDK / tools folder, wherever you installed it on your PC. At the C:/ prompt, type
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
or whatever directory it is for you. Then all the adb commands should work.
EDIT: Your phone has to be turned on for adb to work, and it's a good idea to have it in "Charge Only" USB mode so that there won't be any SD card conflicts.
Awesome, thanks for your response. But then on the second part of my question where do i go to start typing commands for this one:
To remove an app from your phone you must have root access and type the following commands with SU access:
type:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then type:
cd /system/app
then you can type "ls" to list the contents of the directory.
Where is it referring to "type" at? Sorry if i sound like such a noob but I am.
Questions answered over PM. All resolved.

Hey I'm changing to Hero and I dont quite get these terms from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985
1. download sdparted.txt below to computer
2. connect g1 via usb
3. boot into cm-recovery-v1.4, goto console(alt-x)
4. at your windows cmd prompt type: adb push /path-to/sdparted.txt /sbin/sdparted
5. then type: adb shell chmod 755 /sbin/sdparted.
6. to run type adb shell and hit enter.
7. you can now run script (ie. sdparted -efs ext4).
So I download it but i dont know exactly how to "boot into cm-recover-v1.4 etc. Then i dont exactly know what the windows comand prompt is.... Sorry for being a noob at this.. :-/ Help?

this is the thread for jacheroskiv2.1 it has directions to install as well as links to other threads with even more instructions
I had previously unlocked my bootloader and was running CM6.1, but I had to go back to stock because my company's email app (Good for Enterprise) refuses access on rooted devices.
I would like to monkey around with different configurations to see if I can find a way to run Good on CM6.1. I don't want to do this if I have to reinstall everything if it doesn't work however.
So my question is this. I just want to get the Clockwork recovery on my N1 so I can back up the non-rooted OS and monkey around a little. Can this be done with ABD on a non-rooted device?
Gave it a shot, worked fine.
"fastboot flash recovery clockwork-image-name.img"
Good for Enterprise still runs, so it isn't looking at the recovery to determine rooted status.
Nevermind, clockwork didn't survive a reboot. Good news is I was able to get a backup first.
After installing recovery via fastboot, try removing the following files via adb:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

When I try to do this from the recovery, these files are not found, and adb can't see the device from the bootloader. If I boot into the OS, it will be too late - the recovery would be wiped by then and I am back to square one. I must be missing something.
Is there any way to pull the System partition and mount the .img file on my PC to do this? That sounds a little dangerous though
Just thought, you need root to delete the files.
You'd probably have to root, install recovery, then install a non-rooted ROM, but keep custom recovery...

This is what you need to do:
1) boot your device into the OS
2) download the rageagainstthecage binary and save it as rageagainstthecage in the /tools folder (in the android SDK)
3) plug your device to your computer
4) open a command prompt in the /tools directory
5) type adb devices to make sure your computer sees your device
6) push the rageagainstthecage binary to /data/local/tmp/ by typing adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
7) type adb shell to open a shell
8) change the permissions on the binary to allow it to run by typing chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
9) navigate to the directory (cd /data/local/tmp) and execute the binary by typing ./rageagainstthecage
10) wait for it to run, and it will exit the shell
enter the following command at the prompt: adb kill-server
11) enter the following command at the prompt: adb start-server
12) open an adb shell again: adb shell
13) now you should have a temporary root shell. You should see a # instead of a $. if you still see the $, go back to step 9. You may have to do this a few times (I had to do it 3 times before I got root access)
14) now, mount the /system partition as r/w by typing mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
15) delete the two files: rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
16) mount the partition as r/o by typing mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
17) exit the shell
18) now flash your custom recovery
Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a shot later!
This worked flawlessly, thanks for the great writeup!

Two things: First, don't forget that any update from Google always has those two files in it, so they will reappear after every update.
Second, I just reread your first post again. I think you should still be able to kepp root and have your company's email working. I think the problem was that you were using an AOSP-based ROM instead of a stock-based one. Follow the directions for rooting in my signature (the first part is essentially the same as what you just did to gain r/w access to the system partition via adb, the second part is copying su and Superuser.apk to the right directories). Root is essentially one additional file copied to your /system directory, so I believe your company's email will still work with root.

Not sure what you are asking.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot. Download the recovery image you want into the /tools directory of your SDK and rename it recovery.img. Open a command prompt in the same directory. Type fastboot devices to make sure fastboot sees you device. Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and you are done.
If your bootloader is not unlocked, you can use flash_image, but you need root access. See attachments on how to get root if your bootloader is locked, and how to flash a custom recovery with a locked bootloader.

I was using the Nexus One 2.2.1 stock image directly from Google. My problem is that the Good for Enterprise actively checks for root. Specifically if the Superuser.apk exists, it refuses to let me in and cites corporate policy.
Since getting my stock backup, I was free to experiment and I had some success getting Good running on CM 6.1. Taking clues from your earlier instructions, I used adb shell to rename su to su.bak and Superuser.apk to Superuserapk.bak on the phone, then rebooted. After the reboot, I don't have root anymore.
This is a compromise, but at least I don't have to give up that CM6 goodness just to use my corporate email. So far I have not seen any issues in CM6 resulting from not having root. In an emergency I can rename them the superuser files back using rageagainsthecage as you outlined but I probably won't do it often.
Thanks for the help!

Just for your info, Superuser.apk does not give you root, it only manages the root permissions. If your corporate email application checks only for Superuser.apk, you could technically delete Superuser.apk and keep the su binary. Your would still have root, and your corporate email app would work. The su binary is what actually gives you root access. All that the Superuser.apk file does is manages the permissions for root access, i.e., it allows or denies applications from using the su binary. Everything would work fine (including all apps that require root) without Superuser.apk. HOWEVER, just as a warning, without Superuser.apk, you would have no control over which apps have root access...
I will have to put su back and see what happens. I may be recalling wrong, maybe it checks for su also...
I experimented a bit more and it looks for both files. Sorry for the confusion.
I wanted to use USB Tunnel to share my PC's internet connection with the phone, but I got the error:
Code:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
I tried to install other APK's through ADB and they also failed, so I googled this error and I saw that the main issue is a failing ADB Shell. I tried to open Shell and I got the same error. The difference between me and the other users is that my phone is booting as usual, USB Mass Storage works, the phone is detected by fastboot- and adb devices commands and everything is working as intended, except for installing APKs through ADB/opening Shell.
Here is my phone's current config:
MeDroidMod 1.4.4 w/ HWA
Latest Tiamat kernel
TexasICE HBOOT w/ 210/8/218 partition layout
4GB microSD card...I don't know the filesystem but it's definitely NOT ext4, so there's not A2SD for me (I think it's FAT or FAT32)

Which adb commands did you use? Can you list the commands here that you had used? It could be that you didn't issue su command to get superuser rights?
you don't need to be in Shell to push apk
put the apk on your C: drive
open command window and navigate to the folder you have adb/fastboot in--normally tools of your sdk
then:
type adb devices--then
1. adb remount
2. adb push C:/CalendarGoogle.apk /system/app/CalendarGoogle.apk
3. adb push C:/CalendarProvider.apk /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk
4. adb shell
7. chmod 777 system/app/CalendarGoogle.apk
11. chmod 777 system/app/CalendarProvider.apk
12. exit
13. Reboot
use the apk name of whatever you are flashing in place of mine and your chmod may not be exactly like mine--

I don't use ADB Shell to push APK's. That's just another thing which doesn't work.
@taodan: I only use: adb install xxxxx.apk.
A work around is to mount the sdcard and drag and drop the apks to the sdcard. Then install using your favorite file manager.

that will work too, i've used root explorer to copy paste from sdcard to correct file location. prefer adb. set your permissions after
did you try adb remount first, not sure if that would help
what i was saying is you don't need to type adb shell. assuming you are doing this from a pc command terminal window.
you can use the commands I gave above to push apk. i think when you push it copies apk to phone leaving apk on pc also. install actually moves it to phone--as i understand it
here is some links and info that might help.*
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/install-apk-files-on-android/#.T2-cdaJST3U
http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/37151.aspx
also, have you ever had luck installing/pushing apk's. you may not have the correct environmental path on pc or are typing incorrect path in your command line
you can google environmental path editing for android and get examples of how to do it--i am not even sure mine is set right since I still have to type the full path in command window to use adb
sorry if this is old news just trying to find your problem
I realize that these threads are every where but re posting in hopes of helping someone out. Every bit of mt's AIO worked for me, but AIO 2 for Zv8 would not.
You could always do this manually using adb. Here's how.
Push CWM Recovery image to your phone manually once in rooted zv8.
1. Open the ZV8CWMRecovery folder on your PC.
2. Double click the 'Files' folder to go into that directory.
3. Highlight/select and copy the address of your current folder location on your PC. It will look something like this:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Downloads\ZV8CWMRecovery\Files
4. Click Start>Run>type 'cmd' and hit enter/return to open your command prompt.
5. Type 'cd', hit your spacebar, then paste your address which you copied in step 3 into your command prompt, hit enter/return.
6. You should now be positioned in the folder containing the adb and CWMRecovery files.
7. Type the following to copy the CWMRecovery image to your phone:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null"
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Phone should reboot. Try and boot into CWMRecovery after it reboots.
you can do that by typing: adb reboot recovery
all thanks go to brad 6360 for lending a hand and general lack of DoucheBaggery!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
I'm stuck on adb remount cmd. Here's the output I get:
adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Any ideas? This is the same place I had issues running the AIO .bat file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was having the same problems. No matter what I tried, AIO, this method, etc, nothing worked when I was using my computer to get CWM back after ZV8. I found this thread that uses terminal emulator on the phone and it worked perfectly.

I never could get cwm working but a friend recommended QuickBoot, gives you the boot into recovery mode. Works great.

This is the same thing as terminal emulater on your phone
with this you can open a shell inside your phone running on your pc
Same commands
Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up getting it to work. I just skipped the adb remount cmd and started with pushing the img. Then I used the su cmd in shell to get a # prompt and ran the rest of the cmds as written including reboot recovery. CWM popped up on boot!

Hey all. Last night I was helping a friend keep root through the V8 update. Everything went fine until I thought that I had manually pushed clockwork, but when I tried to reboot into recovery I got stuck on the LG logo forever. How I'm having trouble getting the phone to do anything. When in emergency mode it won't connect to the computer and it's not even my phone so I feel like a real #$%^^. Any advice would be appreciated.

I WROTE THE FOLLOWING WHILE TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT/DOCUMENT MY OWN STEPS BUT I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION. I HAVE POSTED THIS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE MAY FIND THE INFORMATION USEFUL.
Is that appropriate? Move/delete this if you see fit.
I have an AT&T Moto X running 4.2.2 rooted with PwnMyMoto. Since it is with ATT, it has a locked bootloader.
[PROBLEM]
After putting a custom bootanimation.zip in the /system/media directory, device boots/"works" but display is black.
[HOW IT HAPPENED]
Using ES File Explorer, I turned on the /system r/w, copied the bootanimation.zip from the (internal) sdcard, and then overwrote the original boot animation (I do have a backup).
However, after booting the phone now, there is only a black screen. It seems to be working, there's just nothing displayed.
[WHAT I CAN DO/HAVE DONE]
ADB debugging has already been enabled
ADB shell has already been granted superuser permissions (Using SuperSU, unsure if solution works if this hasn't been done?)
It vibrates sometimes as though I have an email, notification, or whatever
I can access storage with usb cable,
adb get-state returns device,
I CAN get into fastboot (screen displays normally here), however PwnMyMoto overwrites recovery,
when rebooting the phone, the motorola power down animation is displayed
I tried to put back the original with
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
but get 'permission denied' (you may be able to use method this on a different device/carrier/ROM)
adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect returns 0
in adb shell
mv /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip /system/media/ returns failed - cross-device link (googled this, seems normal, but I'm unsure how else to copy it back)
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
doesn't return anything but I am unsure where to go from there.
cannot run adb as root, as the phone is not a dev model

start phone in recovery mode with
adb reboot recovery
then
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o remount,rw /system (not sure which one of these ended up being 'correct' but it didn't hurt to do both)

I wrote down the steps I took to fix it at the end of the post. You'll have to restore the old boot animation file with ADB. Hopefully, ADB shell was already given root permissions on your phone, otherwise I'd be unsure of how to fix it.

If you're unsure how to start ADB, I'd think that you've never used it before, and in that case I'd be entirely unsure if that method would work.
That said, you should find adb.exe in the sdk/platform-tools folder. If you shift+right-click this folder you can quickly open a command prompt there to start using the commands (each line in the instructions is a separate command). If you're unsure how exactly to use adb, I'm sure there are youtube videos or other forum posts documenting the basics (try searching for beginner's guide to adb on xda).

If you're unsure how to start ADB, I'd think that you've never used it before, and in that case I'd be entirely unsure if that method would work.
That said, you should find adb.exe in the sdk/platform-tools folder. If you shift+right-click this folder you can quickly open a command prompt there to start using the commands (each line in the instructions is a separate command). If you're unsure how exactly to use adb, I'm sure there are youtube videos or other forum posts documenting the basics (try searching for beginner's guide to adb on xda).

It worked the first time then next reboot it shows black screen but i know it hasnt booted cause no sounds. and when i turn tablet sideways it doesnt show half of a screen. (it did that last time the screen was black).
