Push to phone for n00b

I am trying to push the stock HTC clock widget to my phone. Here are my command lines...
/AndroidSDK/tools
adb shell
# adb remount
adb not found
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/
adb not found
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
I can get into the system/app folder and run a list of my apps, but have been unable to push to the phone

You don't use adb commands inside the shell.
C:\AndroidSDK/tools> adb remount
C:\AndroidSDK/tools> adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/

shutdown script

This is the shutdown script for power off the system (reboot still doesn't work)
Place it on /system/bin/shutdown
via adb:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push shutdown /system/bin/shutdown
adb shell chmod +x /system/bin/shutdown
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system

How can I run 'adb root' on Nexus One

Hi,
I have rooted Nexus One which runs on GingerBread. I can open 'adb shell' and then execute 'su' there.
But when I try to 'adb remount', it fails.
Code:
$ adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Basically, I want to copy a file from my Desktop (MacOSX) to /system/bin on the device, is there anyway to do that on my Nexus One?
You rooted a stock OS - it doesn't have insecure boot, so ADB doesn't allow remount and other root commands.

It seems like you are trying a bunch of things without reading beforehand, and understanding what you are doing. As has been said to you before, you cannot use the adb remount command with a secure boot image. If you want read/write access to the /system partition, you need to do the following:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Now you have read/write access to the /system partition. No you can copy files from your sdcard to the system partition if you want. When you are finished with whatever you have to do, don't forget to issue the following command:
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
There you have it. However, if you would have read a bit, instead of starting a new thread for each question you had, you would already have found what to do...

[Q] Renaming SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak in /system/app/ using ADB

Hey guys,
I'm attempting to rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak in /system/app/ using ADB. Is this the correct string of console commands?
Code:
adb shell remount rw
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.odex
adb push /system/app/SystemUI.odex.bak
adb chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.odex.bak
adb rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex
adb shell remount ro
Confirmation would be appreciated.
Ok, according to Hencke, this is the only ADB command I would have to use:
Code:
adb shell remount rw
adb shell mv /system/app/SystemUI.odex /system/app/SystemUI.odex.bak
adb shell remount ro
Totally makes sense. Thanks!

Debloat L5 II

Hello I wrote a adb script to debloat L5 II.
so for all the noobs its so much easier. Just download unzip and double click the run.bat
http://www.slipsystem.co.za/software/android/debloat.zip
also if someone can help me with adb push command
I would like to push system content to the system folder
I have tried
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system
adb push system /system/
but I get permission denied
at the moment I am using
adb push system /sdcard/tempzip/
then making a sh script with
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system
cat /sdcard/tempzip/app/app.apk > /system/app/app.apk
but this is time consuming as I need to create a line for each file.
