Problem with Adb

Ok i can get to the shell perfectly fine but every time i try to do adb push it can never find the file (and yes its in the right directory). Even if i type adb push by itself, it jus pops up all the adb shell commands. Can some one please help me out here. I tired looking everywhere for a solution but no luck

you are doing it in the correct format right
adb push [dir on computer (no spaces can be used)] [dir on phone (no spaces can be used)]
if you are on windows put the file directly in your C:\ drive and do
adb push C:\filename [dir on phone i.e /sdcard (again with no spaces)]
the help scrolls down because the command is not being typed in a way that adb is supposed to type it as being recognized.

ah yes that did help alot thanks

ADB Push Problem

I'm trying to push a folder from my PC's desktop to the /system folder on my device. Basically I pulled the /system/app folder from my device in order to remove some unused system apps, removed the .apks, and am now trying to get the folder back on the phone without success. Getting the error "Failed to copy... : Read-only file system." I thought you could push and pull anything to and from anywhere with ADB and root. Am I wrong, or I'm I simply missing something? Thanks for any help.

Wait. It kind of didn't work. Even though the CMD window showed a successful push, I rebooted and the apps are still there. Damn. Thanks anyway.

adb remount
adb pull /system/app c:\
Make your changes..
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app
adb push c:\app /system/app

Thanks again, but still no luck. The apps remain. Strange, because it looks like everything worked just fine in adb.

hi, i'm running cm5 test 4 on my g1 and for the most part it's been great...except for the slow market...so i did my research and found that there's an xml file that you can push to fix this issue-http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=1ea082d443f3d16c&hl=en...so i copied the file, named it "marketfix" and stuck it in C:...tried to adb push it like this - adb push C:\marketfix.rtf /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml - but after that i get an "adb: not found"...what did i do wrong? any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance!

Either you don't have adb installed, you didn't set it up correctly, or you aren't in the directory where adb is installed.
Solutions are: Setup adb, set it up correctly, or change your directory in your cmd prompt to the directory where the adb.exe file is located.
Additionally, make sure you aren't entering the command superfluously like:
Code:
adb shell
adb push blah blah blah
You can't push files from within adb so once you open you cmd prompt and navigate to the correct directory do adb push directly from there, don't try and go into the shell and then execute adb push like I outlined above

[Q] adb remount

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
ivan

we need to find the solution...but it's not easy..
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?!?!

mmmm what do u mean? i need to do something else? thanks

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

Manually Push CWM to Zv8 With Cmd Prompt.

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!

Make sure you have internet connection and usb debugging enabled.

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!

Hoping someone can help
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.
