backing up my fire stick with adbFire 2.01? - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't seem to get my fire stick to dump to my computer, only to the stick itself. I need to dump it to my computer so I can restore my settings to another stick or to a fire box.
All the YouTube videos I've seen or threads I've read have Kodi on their computers, or the info is just too confusing to make this happen. Please direct me how to do this. Please?
Thanks in advance.

Use adb. Look up the commands.
adb pull...
adb push...
However, it would be a lot easier to use "ES File explorer" for APK install and file manager, which can be installed from Amazon Store

Thanks man! Do I install ES Explorer on both the stick and my PC? Which files on the stick to I save to my PC and overwrite on the new device?
Thanks for your help.

Ask further questions in the appropriate forum.

I thought I was in the correct forum area. I was told my post was moved to the correct area...hence why I just hit reply.
Someone want to tell or direct me?
I thought 'Fire Q&A help and trouble shooting' would be what I'm asking about...

Is ther Cabs installation tutorial????

I've searched and I've asked and no one wants to help...Could someone please point me in the direction that I need to be in
Purpose
Sliding sounds
Games
and other applications..
Thanks
LOL
Are you really asking how to install a CAB file????? No wonder no one wants to help you..............
First transfer the CAB file to your phone/storage card(remember where you put the file, you will need to know to locate it on the phone).
Go to Start, Programs, and File Explorer.....Navigate to the folder you put the CAB file into and OPEN it, once opened it will automatically start installing.
I am assuming based on your question that its probably gonna ask you if you really want to install because it might not be a trusted certificate just click YES
Now its going to ask you where to install to.....option 1 the DEVICE.........option 2...........Storage Card(if you don't have a storage card then obviously there will be no options and it will just install)
Last, If you can't perform any of the above steps PLEASE don't even try OR attempt anything on this forum. Thread should be closed.
lol..kobe u went in too much detail trying to explain that..
man you have some patience..nice
i would have just said run the cab file from your phone..lol
Smoka PM me i'll make a video and send it to you so you can see how it's done.
No offense, but I'm a Noob on this forum and I know how to install a cab. BTW, I'm a girl.
Redundant thread alert ***
Why would you start another thread asking the same question when you got more than an answer in your original thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388176
Send me your phone and I'll install it for you....
Lol chapman. Play nice. I was trying to help the super noob.

Why cant i DL the .CAB files from forum threads?

Hi pple!!
Am very new in xda-developers forum, and encountered problems here. Hope to seek you guys' advice. i do not know who else to post the question to!!
I was browsing thru' the threads and tried to DL a few of the shared files. But i was kept prompted to save a "attachment.php" file! It states that i was not logged in and therefore cant save the required files! But I checked and was sure i am logged in!! Is it not a privilege of member to save the shared files or is there an error somewhere?
Appreciate your help!! Many thanks!!

Not sure about that, can you let us know what OS / Browser you are using?
Ta
Dave
r u right clicking on give link and trying to click "Save Target As"?
Hi!!
thanks for the prompt reply!
am using Safari as browser. using the usual way of saving files, "ctrl" key then save file as.. but the "attachment.php" file instead of the linked file is being downloaded!!! all the time!!!
thanks again!
I use Safari aswell, it happens when you log in from the page you are downloading from, so when you get redirected after logging in the attachments will download as attachment.php
You just need to either refresh the page after logging in and before downloading the file, or log in on an alternative page first
Hi oseven!
Thank you for your help! Will go try it out!!
Have a great weekend!!

I see your was asked in your last thread about battery, you should not post questions in development section. It took 1 minute using the search function in this forum to find your answer to where that file is.
Hopefully this information will make you stop posting these questions in this section, Using Root Explorer or a comparable program navigate to (Mount R/W first): data>system> you will find and be able to delete file batterystats.bin or you can use Rom Manager and boot into clockwork recovery mod go to advanced and there is an option to wipe battery stats. Then you will need to cycle your battery a couple time to get it to show correctly.
Yeah but you know none of these options have worked and neither of the have shown it. I am know thinking that it is a problem with the way I flashed it or a problem with my phones Tom so that's why I posted it in the android development section. You know people like you make us wonder why people aren't nice any more
Questions go in Q&A.

And people like you make us wonder why there isn't a test to get posting rights on the forum. This does not belong in Development.

Astro will not work, you need root access. Download root explorer and go to the root directory. Data-> System -> Batterybins.bin
just delete it from there.
For future notice, a Google search can avoid all this. Thats what i did when I had this same exact problem.

A google search brought me to this thread (first link). Thought that was kind of funny.
And how is this relevant to the thread?

[Q] Non-OS services running on startup

Folks, please be gentle if I'm asking something obvious... I'm new to Android. The question is if there is a way to disable some non-OS services (such as Skype, HeyTell, Google BlogService, HeyWire etc) from starting after my ROOTED DS7 is powered off/on. I'm UNIX guy, so was looking for something like /etc/rcX.d start scripts but was not able to find it. Advanced Task Killer for Froyo cant disable those permanently as well. Basically I need to stop it manually every time I turning on my DS7.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It has been a while since I went into an android installation, but the install packages have the extension .apk. There is a folder on the device that contains the .apk files that are installed when the device is reset. If you go into that folder you can rename the .apk to .bak or whatever, and then do a hard reset, the programs won't install. Maybe someone with a rooted device can provide the directory names.

Thank you for the reply. There is a directory /system/app with bunch of apk(s) in it. However if I rename those which are starting after the reboot wouldn't it disable app permanently? It is not my goal, honestly. I just trying to find the way to use those on demand basis. Thank you again.

Titanium backup can freeze those app so they won't run, and then un-freeze them if you want.
Thanks a lot! Worked as a charm!

Need help flashing to cm10 or cm10.1

curently have cm9 with twrp 2.2. How do I start over and load the new ROMS that are out. Any help would be appreciated. I don't care about he current apps and don't have files I need to save. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks
Please read at least the first page of this excellent guide and view the videos by Roland Deschain.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147284
It contains all the info you need and and file links. either individually or as part of a package, which should make installation pain and stress free.
Have fun.

I appreciate the information but still have a question. Does the acme uninstaller remove the twrp and do I need to reinstall something else?

ACMEUninstaller2 (uninstalls Android and removes recovery, All versions) That's what it says in Rolands thread .
Yes you do need to install something else.But the files and info are all in his thread.
I know it's not easy reading but if you read just the first page your questions have already been answered.
