Help With ADB...please

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.

(SOLVED)ext3 partition backup through terminal

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

[Q]I'm trying to make a little .cmd file to uninstall my apps. need a little help.

Trying to make a little .CMD Files to uninstall my app so I don't have to type everything in again when I do a flash rom.. here is what I have
Code:
pause
@adb kill-server
@adb shell cd /system/app/
@adb shell su*
pause
@adb shell rm /system/app/RemotePVR.apk
@adb shell rm /system/app/tn55-android-blur.apk
@adb shell rm /system/app/FaceRecognition.apk
@adb shell rm /system/app/Layar-samsung.apk
pause
The issue is at the "@adb shell su*" I get an error saying at the super not found.. now when I type the commands in my self it works great.. but in a .bat file or .cmd files it does not work.. what i'm I missing?

Every call to ADB like this is a standalone command.
That is, when you do a
Code:
adb shell cd /system/app/
what happens is that it starts the adb shell, runs the command, and then exits. So when you call su, you lose superuser access when running the next adb shell command, because that shell instance is now gone, kaput, finito.
I also tried to make a script like this, but got stuck. We need to chain commands to ADB, like you can do in *nix with a semi-colon separator between command, like thus:
Code:
command1 ; command2
("&&" in Windows/DOS)
But ADB doesn't seem to support chaining commands.
I guess you have to do a shell script, put it on the phone and run it from there. Or some kind of "adb sushell" command would be nice...

Thanks I was kinda wondering if that was what was happening.. to bad the su command would not stay active.. o well.... maybe someone will come up with something..

Im not at a pc but can u test
adb shell su command
Does tht work ?

you could make a 2nd script which pushes the 1st to the device with "adb push". this script then gets root with "su" and uninstalls/deletes the apps ... btw. you can try using "pm" (packetmanager) which can install/uninstall/reinstall apps. however i don't know if it works with system apps...

Alright here : (eg, say remove launcher)
Code:
adb shell su -c 'mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system'
adb shell su -c 'rm /system/app/Launcher.apk'
adb shell su -c 'rm /system/app/Launcher.odex'
adb shell pm uninstall com.android.launcher
fyi : "SystemApp Remover" on market essentially does the same thing, except it eliminates the need for u to look for the package name ur self.

Hm, that works, but I get a superuser prompt on the phone for every new command (the "app name" is the command line).

sweet that worked. I would get the SystemApp Remover but I can't download paid apps till Google will fix my account. unless there is something like it for free.

[Q] ADB permission denied

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.

OnePlus3T:/ $ su
OnePlus3T:/ # adb push 1Carbon /sdcard/
sush: adb: not found
127|OnePlus3T:/ #
I've already downloaded the latest platform-tools and drivers.

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.
