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

"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Typing just adb in cmd you will get whats called a "usage doc" which gives you a lits of commands that you can use:
Code:
-d - directs command to the only connected USB devic
e
returns an error if more than one USB device is
present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is r
unning.

ith
the given serial number
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> <local> - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] <file> - push this package file to the device and instal
l it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data
)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories
)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online

Good guide, pretty simple... Ill bookmark this, so I can send people that needs help here.
i have attached a zip that has the files i use to get basic use like for doing root to stock to upgrading 2.1-2.2 and other small things.
extract to C:\fastboot
in C:\fastboot you will find a "cmd" batch file. just run it and it should be ready for you to type in adb commands or fastboot. just make sure your in debug mode by doing all in the first post for installing drivers and all that.
U seriously bumped this thread? Lmfao

Trying to flash a rom on my phone (x10) and was making sure adb is working properly before i do anything. When flashing the new rom there's some bugs that require adb to fix. From my understanding "$" means i don't have su access. Thanks for the help btw. Sorry for bothering you. Just taking proper precautions.
EDIT
Sorry again. Found my answer. I forgot to unlock my device to accept superuser permissions. Thanks for your help
to check ur phone is detected by adb....
i type "adb shell" in cmd,and according 2 u i should show #.....but it shows $ to me......why?
To check connection, type "adb devices"
"adb shell" will allow you to work remotely on your device. If the $ doesn't change to #, then you don't have root access.

I wanted to ask this in the actual thread but 10 post limit...
Anyway,
I can't get any GPS lock on my I9000, Onemsomic's ICS RC3.1, JVU modem.
I tried changing the NetworkLocation.apk by following this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21351809#post21351809
but since I have absolutely no idea how to use ADB I couldn't do the "change mode to 0644" step.
Someone help a noob?
Thanks.
Well, first off, download the *.apk provided in that post and place it on the sdcard.
adb is a command line tool, so you must insert those commands on a terminal emulator (maybe you got one installed, if not, download one from the market, I can recommend "Android Terminal Emulator").
So, open your terminal emulator and go to the directory where you placed your *.apk. this example has been wrote with the *.apk in the sdcard folder:
Code:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb chmod 0644 /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb reboot
Note: I wrote this example following my common sense, so I'm not completely sure if this will work!
Cheers!

Well I have been looking here and there, and I found that adb doesn't work directly on the phone, you must use adb from your pc. So, this is what you should do from now on:
Install Java SDK
Install Android SDK
Turn on "USB Debugging" in your SGS settings
Connect the Device to the PC
And finally, use the following commands (from the PC):
Code:
// Go to the folder where you put the *.apk
cd C:\users\exampleuser\Documents\ // or /home/exampleuser/Documents/ if you're using linux
adb start-server
adb remount
adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb chmod 0644 /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
adb reboot
Note:
The text after the double-slash ( // ), must not be written in the console, they are just comments
You need to install the SDK's because there it is where the adb tool (and tools needed by adb) is found, so, good luck!
Hi, I'm a newbie to android rooting and have spent the whole day trying to root my Kindle Fire HD v7.2.3.
I've used the bin4ry RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat. I have no problems with the Qemu part but as for the RunMe.bat part I get permission problems (see picture below)
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ikz64
The device gets rooted but the super user is no where to be seen. Therefore I can access root files but I can't write as it is read only.
I've already tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086210 (fixing a bug)
I've also tried the basics of rebooting after rooting, run as admin, locate through cmd but nothing has worked for me so far.
Anyone know what the problem is?
I was having a similar permission denied error when rooting 7.2.3. Try this and see if it helps. These commands are pulled from the Qemu script.
Code:
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
Wait for the device to reboot then run these.
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local.prop"
reboot
Now wait for the device to reboot then check if the Qemu root hack worked correctly by connecting to your device with adb shell. You should see a root prompt.
Code:
$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ #
If you see a root prompt then re-run the RunMe.bat script and it should complete without error. The reason for your permission denied error is the script is not running as root.
Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, it will also let member do things manually instead of relying on update ZIP's all the time. Besides of explaining how to use a simple program such a quick ADB Pusher, i will also explain in depth the commands of ADB through the actual command line interface, so here we go:
Code:
#include
*
* Your warranty is now void.
*By you using my Mods, Roms etc...
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, or dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
First of all we will start with The command line ADB, the quick adb pusher tutorial is further down the post.
Before we start explaining some of the code what is used in ADB, it is important you know what it is, it is called the Android-Debug-Bridge.
In order to even get ADB to wokr you need to follow these procedures:
Settings -> Developers options -> USB-de bugging
Then check that box, it will make you feel like a boss.
Now once you have done that your android device, is now setup for both development and ADB. Next you are going to plug your device into your computer, via a usb cable.
Once you have done that you need to go to the directory of your ADB interface, this is where you have the android SDK installed too, on a linux or mac based system this could be:
Code:
cd /home/yourusername/android-sdk-mac/tools
Once you have the ADB interface loaded into your terminal, if you type help it will show something similar to this:
Code:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator with
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
envivornment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>:<port> - connect to a device via TCP/IP
disconnect <host>:<port> - disconnect from a TCP/IP device
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> <local> - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] <file> - push this package file to the device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
DATAOPTS:
(no option) - don't touch the data partition
-w - wipe the data partition
-d - flash the data partition
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
Now that you have ADB running here are some simple commands on how to use it:
How identify that your device is being recognised by ADB:
Code:
adb devices
Once this has been typed it should show something like this:
Code:
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT26GW507639 device
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>
If there is a line what says "HT26GW507639" with "device" at the end your devices is successfully recognised by ADB!
How to pull data from your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceADBNUMBERHERE] pull /system /the directory you want it saved too
This command will pull all the files from your devices system directory, to the directory you told it to be saved too.
I did the pull command on a PC and I was able to get all the data from following directories on my Desire C:
/data
/system
How to push data to your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] push /system/app/whatever.apk
This command will push the files you wish to your phone, though this command.
The most basic ADB commands
ADB push, as explained before this command is used to send files to your device
Code:
adb push
ADB pull, as explained before it pulls files from your phone, and makes a copy of them.
Code:
adb pull
ADB Install and example of this code would be "adb install c:\users\app.apk"
Code:
adb install c:\users\app.apk
ADB Shell, this command begins a shell connection to the device on the other end.
Code:
adb shell
ADB reboot, it does what it says
Code:
adb reboot
ADB reboot recovery, this also does what it says
Code:
adb reboot recovery
ADB reboot bootloader, this also does what is says, like the ones above.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
ADB remount, this remounts the devices file system for editing etc...
Code:
adb remount
ADB Shell commands:
cd, this command changes directories in your devices filesystem.
Code:
cd /system/app
is, this command listes all of the file present in the directory you are at.
Code:
is /system/app
rm, this command removes file from your device.
rm /system/app/whatever.apkcp, this command copies files, and is very similar to the cat command below.
Code:
cp /system/app/whatever.apk /sdcard/whatever.apk
cat, this command is also used to copy files to your device.
Code:
cat /system/app/whatever.apk > /sdcard/whatever.apk
exit, this command exits the ADB shell.
Code:
exit
If any of you are having any problems, read the FAQ first before posting a question in this thread, happy pushing!
If you think any other commands should me added to this section, PM me about it.
As explained above, the quick ADB pusher is an interface over the code based ADB. I will be a much easier approach for new user of android to get to grips to, that is why I am including it.
Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, so here we go:
First of all you want to download the quick adb pusher program, this is in both this thread and the revolution Rom thread on XDA, the link for the program is listed below:
Quick ADB Pusher
Now you want to make sure your phone is plugged into your computer, but do not put it into USB storage mode. Make sure your USB de-bugging option is enabled it is located at:
Settings --> Developer options --> USB De-bugging
Now you will start the quick ADB pusher program, once it has started it should detect your phone. If it does not then post a comment in the thread below and we will resolve the issue.
Watch the video below to clarify a few things, such as how to copy system apps etc...
Again I hope this tutorial helps some people out, remember to read the FAQ first before posting,, to prevent the same questions being asked time and time again.
