I have ADB installed and working, just really new to it. Can someone help me understand how to:
Mount /system as r/w with root explorer.
Really appreciate it.
If you're using Root Explorer you don't need adb to write to system. Just navigate to system and press the r/w button on the top right of the screen. What are you trying to do in system?

If you have root
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
I hope that is what you are asking for. Not really clear.
(This is for removing apps with adb)
Thanks for the responses. I was a little confused. I am trying to do the 2.2 dialing fix and transfer the old espt onto my phone so I can do manual prl updates.

this doesnt work always and if it doesnt, this most definitely does
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app

I do most of my hacking from work. I am uncomfortable installing drivers for adb and such on a PC that i am not admin.
So I tried
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
reboot
Did not work....
Anyone know if it this possible?
After reading a little more i can see that this will never work for me and my ROM (I'm a donut)
So yea... anyone know if anything like this is possible in a donut build?
not like the animations from eclair . as far as i have been able to find this is only a eclair thing.

First of all, if you even read his request, he wants to know how to do it via terminal since he doesn't want to install adb drivers on his computer and I'm pretty sure .gif boots won't work on a cupcake/donut/eclair/ ROM unless they are a HTC SENSE ROM. Please read before posting some BS.
Dude you should just flash via Recovery.

Not gonna work, 1) What the hack are you trying to do with that command and 2) He's on Donut, he needs eclair
Damn My eyes are terrible.
note to self:
READ BEFORE WRITE!!!!
on google donut builds, you're stuck with the android-logo-mask and android-logo-shine boot animations. on hero builds, you can use the animated gifs. on eclair builds, you can do the bootanimation zips. if you want to know how to do a standard google build boot animation without using adb, check the link in my signature. i made a full written + video tutorial on how to do it.
the other easy way to do it, is of course, metamorph. making the .thm files takes about 30 seconds and you can flash it without having to use adb, terminal OR recovery.
So how did Cyanogen make a custom boot animation for CyanogenMod?
exactly in the fashion shown in my video tutorial. its not hard.
CM=google build.
your signature

Dude I love your sig...its tight how you got everything you are running in the form of a link, so people who want the same can easily learn how to do it without asking questions(which they still will do anyway) by simply clicking your links.
thats what I call community contribution.
heh, thanks, i havent updated the links in a LONG damn time though, as you can see. I'm obviously not running CM 4.2.3.1 anymore.
Kudos for the Vibrant!
Gotta love that 4.0 amoled screen dislplay.
and I love how Klyentel has his "G1-BRICKED!"
in his signature, too funny.

# reboot

I'm not by my computer but shouldn't it be something like
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit
adb push HTCMusic.apk /system/app
or push before exit I can't remember off the top of my head.

You posted it right, exit shell first, then use ADB push.
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit
adb push HTCMusic.apk /system/app
Thx a lot guys will give it a try when I get up

Ok now Im getting failed-read only file system. Can someone please help me push apps through adb it was so easy with my hero but its not working with this Evo for some reason.
Im even trying to pull apps(to delete them) and Im getting "Directory not empty" what am I doing wrong in adb? I can use the same sdk that I used for the hero correct?
I am getting the same out of memory messages when trying to push to the device. I can pull just fine.

Make sure you don't have your SD Card enabled as a removable device. Make sure it says "Charging Only", under the notification pull down.
I am having some of the same issues with pushing bootanimation.zip onto my FroYo'd Aria with SDK 08 for 2.2 platform. I get Directory Not Empty. What am I not doing? I've tried 4 different methods I've read for this.
Hi all, I am using a froyo rom based on richardtrips rom.
I'm trying to push a themed facebook apk. I have placed the apk in the tools folder.
This is what I did.. Boot to recovery, then open a cmd on my windows laptop. I then did the cd to go to my adb tools folder.
Then I typed
Code:
adb remount
This gave me an error saying error 0.
So I tried while the handset was booted normally. The remount was successful.
I then typed
Code:
adb push system/app/facebook.apk
This just gave me the help list with details of all the commands.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
how about
adb shell mount /system
adb push C:\Facebook.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

It's pretty late here too and my eyes are half open and they feel as if they are burning lol.
OK, so i installed the swype from stock espresso 2.1 ROM but it doesnt let me swype. tells me that its configured for a different device which is a fail honestly but how do i go along to delete it? Terminal or ADB commands would be nice because. Thanks fellas. i tried
rm -r /system/app/swype.apk
rm -r /system/app/com.swype.inputmethod
any other suggestions?
Did you try reflashing cm6? Idk if it will work, but worth a try.

That seems like the only thing I can think of too. I'm having a similar problem where I tried to flash Swype, but it just keeps force closing, and now I actually HAVE the beta but I can't uninstall my old swype D: . I tried going thru with ADB and Root Explorer... It seems I deleted anything involved with Swype, BUT it's still in there somehow.

You have to do it via adb in while your phone is in recovery because our phones are s-on.
reboot into clockwork recovery, go into the partitions menu, mount /system, then in command prompt type
Code:
adb shell
rm /system/app/apkname.apk
If you're not sure what the exact name is do this:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
then it'll give you a list of all files in /system/app, type rm apkname.apk to remove it. Then reboot

Ive tried that before (suggested by others) wouldnt work for me. I would always get a read only error. The cd /system/app ls command would run fine though :/

Were you in recovery? Another thing to try while in recovery and in adb shell, type this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
You might also try adb remount, not in shell, then go back into shell.
Hi Guys,
I have rooted my Wildfire with AlphaRevX long time back and i tried many different ROMs.
Currently i have installed JokerDroid4.2 ROM.
When i start adb shell its going to normal user($) but not root(#) and when i type su in the shell its going to root(#).
So, when i want to push files to /system/app using adb push its throwing exception of permission denied.
I have seen many threads regarding this problem but couldnot find proper answer to my problem.
Workaround im using is pusing my files to /data/local and after getting root access using adb shell and su im moving it to /system/app
(OfCourse throughout the process /system is mounted as re-write)
Please solve my problem..
EDIT : I allowed the superuser to give permission to adb shell when i typed su command but when i use adb push its not asking me for permission from superuser.
Thanks,
Sandeep
You need to set permision /rw ,to system folder via root explore,then do adb push

Have you already tried "adb remount"?

This should indeed solve all your problems. Just type that command, wait for the "remount succeeded" notification and than try to write in your system folders.
The reason is that your /system is not mounted as read/write (r/w) when you boot your phone, but as read-only (r/o). So afther the remount command /systemfiles will stay r/w, but when you reboot your phone, it will return r/o again.
