Uninstalling WaveSecure from Modaco ROM

I just installed the Modaco ROM on my Desire (It is awesome BTW) but i don't like the WaveSecure program and i can't seem to be able to find it in /system/app to remove it!
Is there a way to delete this program off the phone!?

I would like to learn how to do this also

Don't think you can unless you use the online kitchen (I don't like it so removed it from mine)

I believe:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

Doesn't seem to work mate.
Code:

remount succeeded
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm: can't remove '/system/app/com.wsandroid.apk': Directory not empty

Running as admin?

Same here. Running as admin - nevertheless "Directory not empty"
Edit: solved. Run SUBFS on phone and mounted /system RW. After that tried again in cmd - voila!

For noobs like me: It's actually SUFBS, not SUBFS. Google for the apk, install the app, in the menu there's an option "mount /system RW". Activate and then run the adb commands above in a cmd window on your PC. Et voila!

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

Hey,
I'm following the tutorial over at G2 Hacks:

I came across a problem at the beginning of the cmd portion.
This is what I type and the error I get.

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z

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"
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

You could always just mount the SDcard... but anyway, to solve this type in "adb remount" and enter the command before pushing the file
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

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.

no such file fre3vo

Hey everyone,
Currently I have 2.3.4, and so I decided to follow this guide,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912&highlight=downgrade
Anyways, this is how far I got, and I'm currently stuck.. the fre3vo file is definitely placed in platform tools, and I've re-downloaded it and placed the file in there again, however I got the same error message,

I have been on xda for awhile now, however, I'm usually just browsing and reading around, and I did not have enough posts to qualify me for posting the question on the guide itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone.

Make sure that file is in the same directory adb is in or that you have the location of adb set in your system path.

Are you running the command from the platform-tools directory? You need to cd to where ever a file is that you're wanting to manipulate, setting the path only matters with commands (ie. what you manipulate with)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Help!
I am having the same issue.
ADB recognizes my device but I cannot push and get the 'cannot stat 'fre3vo': No such file or directory'.
I thought that this is something to do with the path? Here is how I set it:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\%SystemRoot%;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It's nothing to do with your Path. The Path sets whether Windows can find a command or not, in this case the adb command.
The error message about not being able to find fr3vo is because whatever folder you are running the command from, does not contain the fr3vo file. Where is "fr3vo" located on your PC ? Cd to wherever that is (i.e. so if you type "dir" it shows up), and then run adb from there.

I have placed the files in: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Ok, before you run adb, do "cd \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools". That will change your current folder to the one where you've put the files, so then adb will be able to find them.

I'm no expert, but are you running the command from the same folder that fre3vo is in?
i.e.: in your case, ****-right click in your platform-tools folder and select "open command window here".

Downgrade HTC does not provide "invalid length"
I am trying to downgrade my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4g) following Setherio's downgrade guide and am running into this problem.
Step should be
Code:

But I get
Code:
/system/bin/sh: cat: /dev/msm_rotator: No such file or directory
I ran the command prompt from my platform-tools folder which has the fre3vo and misc_version files in it. I am new to adb and searched the web and XDA for an answer but could only find "permission denied" information related to this step. Thanks in advance!

Needed drivers
Turns out I just needed the HTC drivers on my computer. From there things have been smooth so far. Hope this helps anyone running into the same issue. Thanks for looking.

HELP!!!! Cannot update FTV manually

Tried these steps
Connect to your Fire TV using ADB
(If you don’t know how, follow up to Step 4 Part 2 in our Windows or Mac guide)
Run the command: adb shell
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)
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery
Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
Run the command: echo “--update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command
Run the command: exit
Run the command (yes, again): exit
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
The update.zip file is on the same folder where the adb platform-tools is located, but when I enter the full path it says no such file or directory.
Mine looks like this C:\Users\XXX\platform-tools>adb push update.zip /cache

when you push a file with adb, the file must be in the same folder/path you're running the adb command from. From your example, you need update.zip on your PC at C:\users\Stevie G\platform-tools\
