ADB shell

So I go into cmd and into the sdk/tools directory and typed in adb devices. It shows my phone HT03xxxxxx offline. Am I missing something here?
I just wanted to reboot in recovery through there and its telling me that the device is offline.
I flashed fresh 2.1.2 and the su fix update if that means anything.
Edit--
I did a nandroid and flashed back to 2.1.1
Went into cmd and ran adb shell with no problem...
I just did a wipe and will reflash 2.1.2 and try it again

Are you using Windows or Linux? Either way; you should kill the adb server and try again. In Linux to do this:
sudo su ./adb kill-server
sudo su ./adb start-server
Then try running your adb commands again. (e.g. adb devices, adb shell)
To kill the server in windows:
adb kill-server
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then unplug your phone and plug it back in and see if that changes anything.
The Windows command to reboot into recovery via adb is:
adb reboot recovery

I had 2.1.1, and flashed 2.1.2 with no wipe. I didn't reboot, but flashed the su fix zip file, and then I rebooted. Maybe that's why I didn't achieve any adb commands.
I did a data/factory wipe, then flashed 2.1.2. I rebooted and set my google account up. After it was up and running, I booted in recovery manually. I flashed the su fix and rebooted. Now I'm all set. I went into cmd and got my shell back. Now I'm all set. Just a pain in the ass and redownload all my apps again.
Thanks for your help though.

[Q] Please help with general questions!

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.

Custom Recovery without Root?

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...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

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.

ADB Shell not working, but my N1 isn't bricked

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.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

HELP!!!! trying Install CWM on zv8

Ok so here it is almost day 2 trying to install CWM on zv8 after using "mt's easiest way to keep root thru zv8'. (Oh and by the way MT your the MAN). Now getting to zv8 was easy, But getting the recovery installed is another issue all together. First started with the AIO bat. file which installs cwm (kudos to MT and djrbliss). And it reads
"system cannot find the path specified'.
SO ok well apparently the computer isnt reading the phone found out the driver has issue shows the error message(on both my laptops).
ok lets try the terminal emulator with
brad6360 said:
1) Download the cwmrecovery.img to your SD. ( I downloaded MT's zip file and then extracted all with root explorer, but you only need the cwmrecovery.img file.)
2) Use root explorer to copy or move it to the /data/local/tmp directory (make sure permissions are set to r/w/exe).
3) Launch terminal emulator and type these commands:
su
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/data /data
dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null
4) exit terminal emulator and then reboot.
You can then try the vol down+power button combo upon boot to enter CWM.
Good luck.

didn't work and I the local.prop file in the data folder.
Someone PLEASE HELP!!!
(not a noob or expert but I can read and follow directions lol)

Are you sure you still have root level access?
Does adb detect your phone at all?

Still have root access I used root explorer to add the local.prop.
Adb recognizes my phone it shows a serial number under adb devices
Is there a way I can flash cwm in adb?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA

Use the newest aio from Mt. It worked for me. The simplest way is to flash the v7.tot then 'JUST' root, create the local.prop file, then ota to v8. Then continue on with Mt's aio to install cwm. Don't worry about having complete root access (cuz I didn't, but had cwm). Flashed broken out and haven't looked back.
--My REVO is Broken, tweaked, SC'd, and TB'd. Just awesome!

Thats where I'm stuck. I'm on zv8, using mt's easiest AIO to update from zv7. The AIO for cwm isn't installing nor through the terminal emulator. Any other suggestions?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA

What happens when you go into recovery? Is it the stock recovery? Stock v8 didn't have the option to boot into recovery. Just a thought. When I did it I got a lot of errors, but it took.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one having this issue

Can you use Root Explorer to check and make sure adb is pushing the image file to your phone? Look in this directory: /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img
You could always do this manually using adb. Here's how.
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.

idk if I'm not doing something right or wrong. I have usb debugging and internet connection, and I'm getting "remount failed: operation not permitted".

I had the same issue but following these instructions helped me, what finally helped me was typing a wrong command wich gave me a help menu with all the commands, the important one being "adb reboot [Recovery:Bootlaoder]"
adb reboot recovery did the trick, then wiped flashed broken out and sooo happy to be done with it.
after pushing CWM in command prompt of course

I'm also getting "remount failed: operation not permitted" when trying adb remount in the command prompt just as mrand1 apparently did.
I (perhaps noobishly) skipped that step and did adb push cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img but after trying the next step got cannot open for write: Permission denied.
I'm trying to get back to Broken Out 1.1 - when it first came out I successfully downgraded to zv7 by flashing the .tot and then doing the OTA update, but now when I try to do that I can't seem to get the OTA to start downloading. I flashed zv8 tot in order to test the latest root method (which works) I just can't get CWM on there now - I don't seem to have any recovery at all actually. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting this slimzim. This worked straight away for me, I'm installing Broken Out as I type! I'm actually a little glad this happened because now I'm a little more familiar with terminal emulator and what local.prop does. Never had to use it in the past. This is exactly the second phone I've ever rooted and am usually able to just use AIOs.
And of course, thanks to mtmichaelson for chatting with you about it and doing all the hard work in the first place!

If you've done all steps exactly it should work. I went through a ton of other "fixes" that didn't work, I believe the key here is when you use the terminal emulator directly on the phone to create local.prop. I was trying to create local.prop in every way but that, and until I did it directly on the phone did I have success.
Good luck!

I used the Easy ZV8 All in One Rooting Tool, and have no sound at all like a couple of other users. One of the suggestions was to rename the local.prop file in the /data folder to local.prop.bak.
I assume this is the /data folder in the internal folder? When I did the steps for the all in one rooting tool (coming from rooted zv7), there is no local.prop file in my /data folder to rename, yet I still have no audio for ringtones, phone calls, etc. except for the boot up sound on the splash page.
Any ideas why my local.prop file isn't even there? I even tried copying the one from the mtmichelson zip file into there, still no avail. Thanks!

I have the same issue. I used the echo command in term emulator and the local.prop file was there. rebooted and the file is gone. I have root but cannot install cw recovery. I have tried AIO, adb, and terminal emulator but nothing makes it stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated
