Hi,
my ADB doesn't work correctly. I plug the phone into the pc with USB Debugging enabled (stock V20m 2.3.4) and run adb.
I can type su and the phone shows shell was given su rights, so the connection must be ok.
But I can't give any command. When I type in adb remount it says permission denied. The same problem with any other command like adb pull /system/app/Camera.apk
Everytime comes permission denied.
What can I do? Please help me.
You're running a kernel which doesn't enable the adb remount option (or rather default.prop in the ramdisk doesn't). To get around it:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
...this basically does the same thing. There may be something else wrong though, as pulling an app from /system/app should work without it.
EDIT: Make sure you're not in the adb shell when running adb commands. Pull and push commands for example must be run in the computer-shell, not the adb shell.
Thank you very much!

That was the solution for the problem with pull/push files.

Hey guys, i'm having a bit of a problem here. It might be a stupid problem that i am over looking, but i just cant seem to figure it out. I dont use ADB often, but i just installed cyanogens newest rom and it no longer comes with the advanced launcher. which i absolutely love. so heres my issue, I am trying to follow these directions:
Installation
- Plug your USB cable into the phone and your computer
- Make a backup of your original launcher: "adb pull /systemapp/Launcher.apk LauncherBAK.apk"
- Remount the /system filesystem: "adb remount"
- Unzip the advanced launcher "unzip Launcher_update_x.zip"
- Push the advanced launcher "adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk"
- Remove the odex file "adb rm /system/app/Launcher.odex"
- Reboot your phone.
This is whats happening:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools> adb shell
#adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk LauncherBAK.apk
adb: not found
#
I tried moving forward without backing up. this is what i get:
adb: not found
#adb remount
adb remount
#adb: not found
#
This is where im at. can sombody please point me int he right direction of whats going on here? thank you
As I understand it, when you type adb shell, youre in the android shell, and no longer use the adb commands, but you use the commands that youd use in console. ADB has different commands, which you can list by just typing adb.
SO,
plug it in
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk LauncherBAK.apk
unzip Launcher_update_x.zip
adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
adb rm /system/app/Launcher.odex
reboot
That should work. Dont use the shell. The pros can feel free to correct me.

As far as I know this is right. Don't try to pull when you're in adb shell.

Right on! thanks so much Hummeroid.
Okay so I tried to do it without the shell and this is what i'm getting. So I'm stuck...Btw, I really appreciate all the help everyone's giving me.
C:\>cd androidsdk\tools
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT96LLV00999 recovery
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Invalid argument
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>
Why are you doing in recovery, try it with the phone on.
is this possible?
if so what is the commands I need to use?
i tried using adb:
adb pull /system/sd/ %CD%\sdbackup
but i just get adb:not found
please help!
adb
You cant use adb in terminal. Once you are in terminal you have to throw linux commands not adb. If you have sdk and adb set up on your machine then you can connect the phone and enable debugging, then open up cmd from windows, and then adb remount and throw those add commands.
Theres alot of threads that can show you how to do it.
so i have to adb remount then the pull command??
when using adb I get the #
i type \ls and i get a list of things
but when i type adb or any command with adb i just get
adb: not found
please help
Ladies and Gents:
Please help me out.
I am trying to install a "Japanese IME" that sir JMaurice has kindly provided through one of the forums.
Did everything (I think) required in order to get my N1 connected and recognized by my laptop. Then used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse to gain root. Started on the IME installation and got the following.
>adb devices
List of devices attached
HTxxxPxxxxxx device
>adb kill-server
* server not running *
>adb root
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
So I decided to confirm root.
>adb shell
$ su
su
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
I couldn't start the "adb push" sequence due to the errors above. What am I doing wrong?
Did you reboot after executing SuperOneClick? Try that.

Believe I rebooted. Rebooted again just in case. Still gives me the following:
>adb root
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Weird, but already seen on the forum not a long time ago, I think. I'm not sure what can be done in this situation. "adb remount" can be easily substituted by shell commands, root shell you're still achieving by "su", but how to solve this - I have no idea. Might be permissions thing.

Thanks for your replies. Am searching the forums for a similar post; still no luck. Hopefully someone will chime in with an answer.
Thanks again.
You have root, you just don't have an insecure boot.img

Please clarify. Where possible, detailed explanation/instructions would be most appreciated.
You have root, that's all fine.
To use the command adb remount, you need an insecure bootloader, as you don't have this (due to using the stock boot.img) you have to mount /system as RW in a different way:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system

What I am trying to achieve after adb remount is:
adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/
adb push iWnnIME/libiwnn.so /system/lib/
.
.
.
adb push iWnnIME/libnjubase2.so /system/lib/
adb push iWnnIME/DroidSansJapanese.ttf /system/fonts/
adb install iWnnIME/iWnnIME.apk
This will actaully be the first time for me to use su. Could you confirm whether the following sequence of commands are correct?
>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /data
# exit
$ exit
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
> adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/
>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system
# exit
$ exit
> adb push iWnnIME/libiwnn.so /system/lib/
.
.
.
> adb push iWnnIME/libnjubase2.so /system/lib/
> adb push iWnnIME/DroidSansJapanese.ttf /system/fonts/
> adb install iWnnIME/iWnnIME.apk
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Wrong. You don't need to remount data, it's always writeable, and the command is erroneous - you're mounting system partition and calling it "data". You need to just push the apps to /data, as shown below:
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
> adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system
# exit
$ exit
> adb push iWnnIME/libiwnn.so /system/lib/
.

> adb push iWnnIME/libnjubase2.so /system/lib/

I think I am starting to understand this. I punched in the first adb push sequence and got the following:
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
push: iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime/dicset/master/njuserphone.a -> /data/data/dicset/master/njuserphone.a
failed to copy 'iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime/dicset/master/njuserphone.a' to '/data/data/dicset/master/njuserphone.a': No such file or directory
Checked in tools directory and the appropriate directory/file combination was there. Does this indicate that I have to create the appropriate directory in my phone?
Someone? Anyone?
Or is it possible to execute the same adb sequence in shell as su?
I must admit, I've never pushed more that a single file at a time over, given you appear to be trying to push an entire directory tree, perhaps you might be better off copying it over to the SD card in Windows, and using busybox to get it where you need it.
Exactly as Rusty suggested above me. Otherwise you need to create all the directories manually, through adb shell mkdir <your_directory_that_is_not_on_the_phone> .
I wanted to ask this in the actual thread but 10 post limit...
Anyway,
I can't get any GPS lock on my I9000, Onemsomic's ICS RC3.1, JVU modem.
I tried changing the NetworkLocation.apk by following this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21351809#post21351809
but since I have absolutely no idea how to use ADB I couldn't do the "change mode to 0644" step.
Someone help a noob?
Thanks.
Well, first off, download the *.apk provided in that post and place it on the sdcard.
adb is a command line tool, so you must insert those commands on a terminal emulator (maybe you got one installed, if not, download one from the market, I can recommend "Android Terminal Emulator").
So, open your terminal emulator and go to the directory where you placed your *.apk. this example has been wrote with the *.apk in the sdcard folder:
Code:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb chmod 0644 /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb reboot
Note: I wrote this example following my common sense, so I'm not completely sure if this will work!
Cheers!

Well I have been looking here and there, and I found that adb doesn't work directly on the phone, you must use adb from your pc. So, this is what you should do from now on:
Install Java SDK
Install Android SDK
Turn on "USB Debugging" in your SGS settings
Connect the Device to the PC
And finally, use the following commands (from the PC):
Code:
// Go to the folder where you put the *.apk
cd C:\users\exampleuser\Documents\ // or /home/exampleuser/Documents/ if you're using linux
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb chmod 0644 /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb reboot
Note:
The text after the double-slash ( // ), must not be written in the console, they are just comments
You need to install the SDK's because there it is where the adb tool (and tools needed by adb) is found, so, good luck!
I'm unable to use the adb push command on my rooted OnePlus 3t running OOS 4.0.2. My device shows up after typing adb shell and im also able to execute 'su' command but after that if i try adb push <source> <destination> it returns the following
OnePlus3T:/ $ su
OnePlus3T:/ # adb push 1Carbon /sdcard/
sush: adb: not found
127|OnePlus3T:/ #
I've already downloaded the latest platform-tools and drivers.
is there any solution for this? Thanks in advance!

You don't do adb shell,that means your running this command from your phone's terminal which isn't what your trying to do.sp instead of adb shell just do the ADB push command

Ohh such a beginners mistake there xD Also, im trying to push some pics via adb so that their timestamp is preserved and it requires me to run adb as root. i now tried adb root and then the push command which worked but timestamps were still altered. what am i doing wrong now?
Anyone?
Bump.
