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.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/install-apk-files-on-android/#.T2-cdaJST3U
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
My phone recently lost its ROM, and is now stuck on the 'HTC quietly beautiful screen', i did manage to get it into clock work mode recovery and have a backup of my old rom on a usb, however, when i plug in the USB before starting the phone it doesn't show up, meaning i cannot restore. Please help! Any help or feedback is much appreciated! :good:
When you're in recovery, you have to use the command:
Code:
adb devices
for see your phone.
After use adb command like push or sideload for put a rom into the phone

Thanks, but how would i do that on a mac?
That's why I have parallels!
I had this problem the other day and I fixed it by going to data/media in recovery and installing an old Rom that was downloaded. I could then restore afterwards.

Do you have the folder containing the adb and fastboot files on your Desktop? And do you have HTC Sync installed? It will load the proper drivers, even though I heard it may not be necessary anyway.
This method worked for me on my Mac. It is very simple using Terminal.
You don't actually have to download the whole SDK, just download the file attached in the threat, which is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1396782&d=1350078941
Place it on your Desktop, and follow the instructions. After ADB successfully lists your device, move the ROM file to your android folder and use the following command: adb sideload rom.zip of course replacing 'rom.zip' with whatever your rom's name is. You can also use adb push if you want to move your Nandroid backup to your device, but I am not sure where it will be located on the device itself afterwards.
Oh and you should be in TWRP > Advanced > ADB Sideload mode if you want to sideload the ROM. I am not sure how it works on CWM but it should be the same way.

Here's what to do (before having to RUU):
boot into TWRP;
connect USB cable;
adb shell into the device;
Code:
adb shell
see if /sdcard is ok (meaning you didn't mistakenly flash entirely the wrong ROM or something):
Code:
ls /sdcard
if the above shows files is a list of tings you recognize (like Downloads, Ringtones, whatever), two things are ok: i) your data area; and ii) your adb is working, then issue these commands (for good measure):
Code:
umount /system
exit
Using TWRP normally (use the touch screen), Wipe the following: system, cache, dalvik-cache, data;
Now, push a ROM file you want, for now I'd suggest one of the Sense 5.5 ROMs -- at least until the Sense 6 ROMs stabilize a bit more and we've had time to settle out all the new idiosynchrasies). Once downloaded, you'll have some zip file, let's call it "myrom.zip" for the purpose of commands (it'll be something different, just use the actual file name instead of myrom.zip below):
Code:
adb push myrom.zip /sdcard
Using the TWRP touch interface, just install the rom from /sdcard/myrom.zip
Just fyi -- the Sense 6 Roms have been exhibiting some oddities for folks in recoveries -- the issue actually is not the ROM, rather in the ext4 file system and some file system metadata bugs when dropping so many files in one shot as the ROM installer zips are doing. I've been debugging this in my TWRP builds and will be putting an option in to cover for the problem (it's deep in the android of ext4, believe it or not -- the kernel is detecting a problem and remounting the file systems read-only and that's what makes the install fail).
Hope this helps.

Goodness -- I thought you were all setup for adb and understood this stuff.
Here's what you need to do *first*, then follow the instructions above after you get adb working. To "adb shell" in to the phone -- you will boot into TWRP, which starts the adb server on the phone. But you use your computer and a "command terminal" window. We have to have this one way or another, so you have to learn. You will plug in your USB cable to the phone and computer, then the commands will work -- yes, they will work with TWRP.

thanks a lot! those commands work ! just needed to install the drivers . thanks! again
My device is Moto X (XT1060). I wiped my Internal storage, Cache, Data, System entirely.
I went to my TWRP v2.6.3.1 recovery and tried to sideload cm12.zip via adb.exe but it failed to recognize the device.
I tried
Code:
adb sideload cmfile.zip
but it show's
Code:
error: device not found
I installed Motorola Device manager.. but no luck so far.
I think I need drivers or something for XT1060.. Please help me.
You should search for twrp 2.8.4.0 for Moto X 2013. Also, make sure you have the latest android SDK and ADB files installed. You'll need to search for threads that help get your phone connected to a pc.
Or you could use 'adb push cm12.zip /sdcard' (without the apostrophes) in a cmd prompt then flash in recovery. Why does everyone resort to sideloading when there's any easier method that will always work?
Once you get your Android SDK and drivers set up and storage mounted in recovery.

That is basically all the sideload command does isn't it? I seemed to notice when I side loaded I was left with the zip I installed on my device... I could swear I deleted it manually, which would mean that sideload just pushes and installs for you in once nice package.
Either way, the issue he is having is that ADB won't find his devices... read the error message its not having trouble with the sideload or the zip... He just doesn't know how to use ADB and make it recognize his device...
Pushing doesn't always work when ADB doesn't recognize your device....
Hey All,
Here's how to update to the latest version of Marshmallow, finally released. I rehosted everything on Google Drive in case AT&T pulls the files. This is the PD6 version of the firmware.
I was rooted running a custom rom on 5.0.2. If you're running the previous latest build (OJ9), you can start the instructions at step 7.
1. This will wipe your phone, so be sure to backup before doing any of this
2. Download Odin and the 5.1.1 OJ9 firmware files (4 of them) from Google Drive
3. Flash in Odin by clicking all 4 buttons (AP, CSC, etc) and matching them to the 4 files from the OJ9 firmware
4. Click start
6. Once your phone reboots and you verify you're running OJ9, you can flash the 6.0.1 update through ADB
7. Make sure you’re running the latest version of ADB (windows package included in the folder worked great for me on Windows 10)
8. The file named “SS-G925AUCU3BOJ9-to-U3CPD6-UP” is the 6.0.1 update, download it and rename it to “ota.zip” and place it wherever ADB is installed
9. Power it off
10. Once it’s off, hold the power, home, and volume UP buttons until it says installing update, this is entering recovery mode
11. Once the menu is up, use the volume buttons to select install update from ADB
12. Type “adb devices” to confirm your device is ready, then “adb sideload ota.zip”
13. It’ll take quite some time, but eventually your phone will reboot and you’ll be running the official PD6 version of the AT&T 6.0.1 update for the S6 edge. Enjoy!
EDIT: If you're having problems with ADB reading the 6.0.1 update, try first launching ADB from wherever it is installed (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ for me), type "adb kill-server" then "adb start-server," then "adb devices" to confirm you see your device (it should say sideload beside it if it is ready for the update). Then, type "adb sideload " and simply DRAG the ota.zip file from wherever you downloaded it to the CMD window. It should complete the command so that it is "adb sideload ota.zip". NOW press enter, and give it half an hour to complete or so. Good luck!! Special thanks to XDA user gmccowan1 for the tip.

Have fun!
So, no matter what I try, adb "cannot read file ". I renamed the file to ota.zip. I renamed to ota. I zipped it and ranmed to ota.zip, and then ota. Am I missing something? No luck here. Thanks for any help.
i think u should zip the file not changing the name

A couple suggestions:
1) Don't zip the file; it is already compressed. Just rename it with a zip extension.
2) Make sure that you're using ADB version 1.0.35. The Minimal ADB and Fastboot zip in the Google Drive contains the proper version.
If that doesn't work, you probably have another version of ADB installed and your system variables path is pointing to the old version . To make things simple do the following:
1) Copy OTA.zip to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
2) Open command prompt from that folder (Shift + Right Click -> Open command window here). The file name doesn't matter as long as your command is adb sideload <filename>.zip (e.g. adb sideload ota.zip).

I installed it to c:\adb, then put my files there and ran from there. Downloaded everything from the google drive link. It is possible I have another version installed, will check that, but I don't think so.

I made a revision to my post while you were replying. Check it out. BTW if your ADB version is older than 1.0.35 your phone will output a line saying something like "please use version 1.0.35".
I'm on PC2, but whenever I try to flash PD4 to get to PD6, I get a Status 7 error.
Few tips for adb and sideload
When running adb devices in the command prompt you should see a device ID number and sideload next to it
When calling a new version of adb.exe (assuming you are using the same PATH location) suggest to close and reopen the command prompt (windows cmd)
check which version of adb server is running, adb version (note you need >x.x.35)
If needed adb kill-server then adb start-server, then run adb version make sure its .35 at least (note the location of where PATH is pointing!! It could be using a different location for adb.exe)
You can also do adb help, look for sideload option, if sideload is not listed in the help menu, guess what, your version of adb server doesn't support this command, do the above
Lastly if none of that stuff is working check in the device managler (i mean manager) and see what adb device driver you are using. I have one from 2010 and it seems to be happy

Thanks, hope others find this useful. These exact instructions should prevent any headache when using ADB.
Note that the version of minimal fastboot and ADB I included is v1.4, but if you type "adb version" it says 1.0.35. It should still work fine!

Hrm, why are you flashing PD4 at all? PD6 is the latest one, but the file I gave is specifically for upgrading OJ9 (5.1.1) to PD6 (latest).
No idea if downgrading through Odin will work, but if you're on OJ9 you should have no issues sideloading.

Keep me posted, I'm interested to know if you get this resolved.
The package itself should contain an md5 and verify before flashing it... so I doubt there's anything wrong with the files I uploaded. Has anyone else besides me successfully installed marshmallow?
Sounds like the problem is with the ADB or the PC. Have you tried different ports (like USB 2.0 instead of 3.0) or a different computer?
EDIT: Users on reddit have successfully gotten marshmallow from the files I uploaded, so they are safe.
As for the "ota.zip" error, one user tried almost everything, and in the end restarting his PC fixed it oddly enough. See here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/c...l_att_601_marshmallow_update_flashing/d2sv6d5
For anyone who flashed PC2, or I guess for future reference to return from PD6.
I flashed PC2 not realizing we could flash PD6 directly. I was able to use ODIN to get back to OJ9, then sideload PD6.

I flashed PC2, not realizing that we could go directly to PD6. I have since used ODIN to get back to OJ9. Then I flashed PD6 directly from there. Process worked fine.

2) Open command prompt from that folder (Shift + Right Click -> Open command window here). The file name doesn't matter as long as your command is adb sideload <filename>.zip (e.g. adb sideload ota.zip).

Im not sure what to do here when I install the ADB to my system I go into the folder and it wont run from the folder. I can only get the CMD window to open from start menu. And it always fails to read the file.

You should be able to upgrade directly from PC2 to PC6 using the upgrade file SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPC6-UP available here: <https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPC6-UP>
Make sure to add a .zip extension to the filename.

The steps below should help you avoid any issues:
Open command prompt and enter adb version. If it outputs "Android Debug Version 1.0.35", skip to Step 3. Otherwise proceed to Step 2.
Navigate to the directory of Minimal ADB and Fastboot by entering cd c:\<path to directory>. If you installed it to the default directory enter cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Enter adb sideload <filename.zip> (e.g. adb sideload ota.zip). If this doesn't work proceed to Step 4.
The "cannot read file.zip" error can also be a result of an incorrect file path. Try specifying the file path by entering adb sideload <%path%\filename.zip> (e.g. adb sideload C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ota.zip). If this doesn't work, paste the content of your command prompt window in a response (to copy text in command prompt right click -> select all -> Ctrl +C).

Try checking to make sure your zip isn't corrupted. Are you able to view the contents of ota.zip by double clicking on it? What are the contents of the zip?

Yeah I can open and view everything is there I downloaded again to make sure all the same everything there. I was going to try just using original file not renaming it or anything. Is that a bad idea? I promise I'm not 100% noob just cant figure why its not working.

This might sound dumb but try adb sideload ota.zip.zip. Sometimes Windows hides the extra .zip when you have file name extensions hidden. If that still doesn't work try opening command prompt with Run as Administrator.

This is baffling - I've read other people having a similar issue and it seems like something different fixed it each time.
Have you tried stuff like restarting? Or different ports on the PC?
