can't push anything via ADB

hello folks.
i'm trying to push bootanimation via adb and when i enter the first command i'm getting an error.
C:\>adb shell mount /system
- exec '/system/bin/sh' faild: no such file or directory (2) -
i'm using modaco root r4 and 3.1 rom. if its matter :x
btw why cant i flash the bootanimation via recovery?

you cant use adb from the root of your hard drive you need to use the command prompt to navigate to the tools dirctory inside the android sdk, for example on my computer the correct path would be c:\android sdk\tools obviously it depends weather u have renamed the folder you extracted when you downloaded the sdk

[Q] ADB: permission denied

I have used ADB in the past on my G1 and am now running into a problem on my G2. When I try to push a file to the SD card I get "permission denied". Any ideas?
example:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb: permission denied

You need to go to the VISIONary when it show "permission deniedArrow", it will pop up something, choose "allow"

Are you sure I need root to push a file? In this guide to perm root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228) the first step is to disable or uninstall visionary.

I figured it out. You don't need to "adb shell" first

When I try to adb remount , I get a return of "remount failed: operation not permitted" does anyone no how to get adb to remount, I firtst run adb devices , and my phone serial number comes up but cant remount, can someone please help me get past this.

Lol u need to Su first after adb shell I see that u don't have a #

The solution is to start ADB in root mode in command prompt...
Steps I did with my Galaxy S to add an App:
1. Connect phone to computer via USB in Debug Mode
2. Load command prompt and type: adb root
3. set read/write for system folder:
adb shell
su
Then type mount and find the location of system folder, in this case for me it's /dev/block/stl9
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
4. set your cmd prompt to folder where you have files to push/move onto phone i.e. f:\app or etc using f: and cd app for example
5. then to copy files to system/app folder by typing type: adb push <appfilename>.apk /system/app
Voila!
To remove an app do the following: adb shell rm /system/app/YourApplicationHere.apk
Simples
As a noob it took some time to figure this out with some help here and reading the help info after typing adb in prompt and the Eureka! moment came...
Hope this helps

[Q] Rooting G2 - Failed to copy : Read-only file system

Hey,
I'm following the tutorial over at G2 Hacks:
g2hacks.co m/g2-hacks/how-to-root-g2-phone
(omit the space between 'co' and 'm/')
I came across a problem at the beginning of the cmd portion.
This is what I type and the error I get.
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push su \sdcard\su
failed to copy 'su' to '\sdcard\su': Read-only file system
How do you solve this problem?
EDIT: Go to 3rd post.

If you're wanting to root, go straight to the source; the guide in the Wiki here is based on the work the devs who actually found the means to root the device.

Is USB debugging turned on and is the SDcard not mounted?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Sounds like the SD card is mounted on your PC and not the phone ? It needs to be mounted on the phone or this won't work.

All that command does is copy that file from your computer to the sdcard. You could accomplish the same thing by dragging and dropping that file to the sdcard.
The 'push' command just means "copy from location A to location B"

You could always just mount the SDcard... but anyway, to solve this type in "adb remount" and enter the command before pushing the file

USB debugging is on and SD is not mounted to my computer.
I tried directly copying the files onto the sdcard, but when I need to push rage, busybox, etc. I cannot access the data folder graphically from the computer.
So I'll still need to use cmd.
I tried the remount, but this is what I get:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

The adb remount error is expected (the command requires your ro.secure prop to be set to 0, which you can't do until you have rooted).
So you were able to copy files to the SD card? Just to verify again, you should try mounting the SD card to you computer (so it shows up as a device on your computer's file explorer), copy over a file, unmount the card from your computer (and remember to also hit the button on phone to do so), and then try the ADB push commands again.

Ok, with the phone on plug it into your computer and mount USB storage. Drag and drop 'su' and superuser.apk into the sdcard then unmount USB storage. Make sure USB debugging is on at this point (you'll see it in the notification task bar). Do these commands:
Code:
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
Then in the terminal app type:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rage
You'll see some message pop up saying something about 'forked #### childs' and that's temp root. Then follow the instructions on running gfree to gain full root. Btw, you can just copy and paste all those commands if you think you'll make a mistake.
You may also be able to run the '/data/local/tmp/rage' command with the 'adb shell' command, never tried it myself though.

Oh come on !!!
the path separator in linux (and the phone is a linux computer) is / and not \ !!!
So the command is:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push su /sdcard/su
Just to tell you something about the unix shell:
The \ char is a so called escape character that you use to tell the shell that it should not ignore the next character even if it is a white space (i.e. space)
You would use it if you have to specify a path that contains spaces:
i.e.:
Code:
mkdir dir\ with\ 3\ spaces
will create a directory with the name "dir with 3 spaces". This would not work without the \ characters.

Haha... it's funny how simple the answer was.
Thanks for your guys' help.

[Solved] Got problem when type adb command to root Desire Z

I used this two guides when trying to root my Desire Z
first installed Android_SDK
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
and it works perfect, I can run command adb devices and my device is shown there.
the problem appear when I followed the second guide to downgrade the ROM
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting#Downgrade_to_1.34.707.3
under that guide, there is some command must be done:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when I tried to run "adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp" the command prompt replay "cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file directory"
I already put the "psneuter" in same folder (platform-tools) with adb.exe on directory C: android-sdk-windows.
Anyone has the experience or familiar with this problem? please help
I already search the same problem on google, and find some user has the problem too, but still there is no solution or I already did and useless

Try to cd into the directory that contains adb.exe

Make sure you are in that directory of adb.exe
Example how mine is
cd C:
C: cd android-sdk-windows
C:/android-sdk-windows/> cd platform-tools
C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-toold/>
Then from there do adb comman
C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/>adb push psneutor /data/local/tmp
And so forth and it should go through fine
If you setup sdk in enirovemnt where can run adb anywhere then there less and simple way
All you would have to do is adb push (drag the file into cmd window) /data/local/tmp

thanks bro, work when I drag the file to cmd
but stuck again when I follow step 7 & 8
7. On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Follow the on screen directions, on the HTC Desire Z, on flashing the 1.34.707.3 firmware.

can I also ask this question in this thread? or is there anybody have a free time to guide me

after you do those steps in command type adb reboot bootloader once again make sure your in the adb.exe directory
from there phone should reboot int bootloader (white screen) and it will do a check for the PCIMG after it will ask if you want to install update Vol for yes and VOl for no

step 7 work fine, but phone only show bootloader and didn't ask to install update..
maybe stupid question but should i need to run RUU on my computer first after type adb reboot bootloader?

measn you dont have the PCIMG on sdcard
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5
exit
Copy the 1.34.707.3 firmware to the root of the SD card (NOT in any folders).
On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
Follow the on screen directions, on the HTC Desire Z, on flashing the 1.34.707.3 firmware.
Once finished you can can continue to the next section.

Ok I got it, it because I copy the RUU on the sd card instead PCIMG.zip, my bad.
another question bro, how to backup my current build (1.82.707.1)? if i downgrade to 1.34.707.3, is not the current build will be replaced?

anyway thanks very much for helping me bro, really appreciate it.

umm not that i know of really if you can gain temp root you can back up your apps and all with titanium, but you want a full nandroid your gonna need a custom recovery, and the way your going allows you to downgrade to achive root and custom recovery

Recovery Corrupt ?

Hi, i have firm 51.1.1.0 with root and busybox installed, and i'm trying to downgrade to version 51.1.0.2 but in the step 7 on the guide from AFTVNews
7. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery (HERE SAYS ME No such file or directory ! Already i'm follow whit the 2 commands to create the directory)
mkdir /cache/recovery ( HERE SAYS ME THE FILE ALREADY EXIST !! )
I Try to continue with the guide obviating the error but that not works...
I'm trying to make a factory reset whit te combinations of keys Alt + Print Screen + i and when the recovery screen appears the home button don't show me the options...
What is wrong here? Is a semi brick or what?
Thanks !!

If the mkdir /cache/recovery is exist then do next step chmod 777 /cache/recovery and do continue what the instruction tell you. (I copied from aftvnews (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/)
If the Recovery corrupted then you can just insert new recovery image into recovery space and follow this instruction. it will fixes as long as you can able access root priviledge via ADB shell.
install Recovery image (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-clockworkmod-custom-recovery-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/)
Using DD command and make sure you put recovery.img in /sdcard before do this DD command (dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery)
Hope it helps and let me know.
Code:
1. Run the command: adb shell
2. Run the command: su (If this is the first time you’ve ever run su, a pop-up will appear on the Fire TV, select Grant)
3. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
4. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery (Note: If you see a message saying “No such file or directory”, then run the following two commands:)
5. mkdir /cache/recovery
6. chmod 777 /cache/recovery
7. Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
8. Run the command: echo –-update_package=/cache/update.zip > command
9. Run the command: exit
10. Run the command (yes, again): exit
11. Run the command: adb push update.zip /cache (This assumes the update.zip file you renamed in step 2 is in the same directory as adb, otherwise enter the full path to the file like adb push C:\full\path\to\update.zip /cache
Once the update.zip file has finished transferring to the Fire TV, run the command: adb reboot recovery
