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

Ok I see no one has answered this so I'll try to take a stab at it.
I've never made a custom splash screen, however, I know my way around a command prompt. I'm assuming that your nbimg folder is on the root of your C:/ drive correct?
If that is so then in a fresh command prompt and type "cd c:\nbimg" now you should be in that folder. If its in a different folder like..idk.. programs files. then you would type cd c:\program files\nbimg, ya see?
Now that your in that folder type "nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800". Hope that helps out some, if there is anyone else that can shed some more light please take this by the horns.

no actually its in my user \down load folder. should i save it to the root of my c: drive. ....or i would have to figure out what the command for my "downloads" file is ... but I think i'll move it to the root. cause you already gave me the command for that thanks........and yes your the first one to answer on three different fourms i have the same question in..... so thanks so much for your help...

Your very welcome. If you can move it to the root of the C: drive then Id do it.
If not then right click in your nbimg folder and click properties and look at your location (ex. C:\users\download). Now, just CD-change directory to that folder with the addition of \nbimg. so it'd look like "C:\users\download\nbimg". Its a little more work but it will give you a little more command prompt experience.

ok... now that it is explained.. it sounds simple.. thanks again

ok.. command line read: c:\users\my name> .. I typed in about three different things but i got it to read: "c:\>" with out the quotations of course by typing in. " cd c:\ "..... but cant get it to the file.....when i type "nbimg" it says " 'nbimg' is not recognized as an internal command opperate program or batch file........ i have relocated the said file to the root of my C drive like u suggested...any ideas????????

ok played around for a while and got it i think.... I found out how to type command in right.. and it spit a whole bunch of stuff back to me.....to bad you cant copy and paste from cmd line window.. cause i sure aint typing all that.. thanks for your help. alot of thanks been waiting two days to get some kinda answer....

[HOWTO] / [GUIDE] Compile Loki_patch and execute

Things you will need:
Cygwin- http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
ADB- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Loki Patch source- https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
These are the steps i took to compile and use loki_patch.
I will assume you have the android sdk setup and ready, I will assume your SDK is under c:/AndroidSDK(this is how mine is setup)
Pulling aboot.img using adb:
You can copy cmd.exe into the folder where adb is located and run it from there so you do not have to navigate to the folder manually, or just run cmd.exe and navigate to the adb folder, for me it is c:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools.
Once you are in your adb file path and your phone is connected and in debug mode follow these instructions to pull aboot.img from your phone.
Original instructions from djrbliss here https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img
[email protected]:/ # chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
[email protected]:/ # exit
[email protected]:/ $ exit
[email protected]:~$ adb pull /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
3293 KB/s (2097152 bytes in 0.621s)
Now you should have the file aboot.img in the platform-tools folder(where the adb.exe file is located)
Copy this file to your desktop so you know where it is.
Installing gcc with Cygwin:
Original Instructions came from here http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~aamodt/ece242/cygwin.html
Step 0: Download and run the cygwin installer.
Step 1: Select “Install from Internet”
Step 2: Install to default location
Step 3: Use default local package directory (click next)
Step 4: Use whatever internet connection settings (click next)
Step 5: Select a mirror (use the one already selected, click next)
Step 6 (a): In the “Select Packages” expand “Devel”:
Step 6 (b): Select gcc, gdb, and make
Step 7: click next and follow the rest of the installation instructions.
Ok, now that gcc is installed we can compile the loki_patch source to make the executable.
Go here https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
You should see a file called loki_patch.c, click this link and it will open and you can see all the code.
Select the code from top to bottom and right click, copy.
Now right click on your desktop and select new> text file.
Open this text file and paste the code into it, go to file and save as loki_patch.c (make sure you have your file extensions turned on so you can save this as a c source and not a txt file).
We should now have a file called loki_patch.c on the desktop, keep it there for now.
Open up windows explorer and navigate to the following:
c:\cygwin\home\<username>\
(You will see a few files and a kitchen folder)
Create a new folder in here called compile.
Now, let's go back to the desktop and copy loki_patch.c and aboot.img and paste those into the compile folder you just created.
Go ahead and run cygwin.
Now we need to change directories, so let's type the following:
cd compile
We should now be in the compile folder.
Lets compile this code so we can use it, type the following command:
gcc loki_patch.c -o loki_patch
We should now have a file in the compile folder called loki_patch.exe( windows added this .exe, the file extension can be left alone or deleted)
Now you need a boot.img file to patch, grab one from a rom or kernal and copy this into the compile folder.
Once all the files are in the compile folder run the following command to patch the boot.img file:
./loki_patch boot aboot.img boot.img boot.lok
We should now have a boot.lok file in the compile folder, hope this helps and i hope i didnt leave anything out, i will try and update this with screen shots later.

Nice work..thanks

Um, you must be in the platform-tools folder of Android-sdk to use adb. So first navigate to that directory. It is typically in -
Code:
Windows 32 bit - C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Windows 64 bit - C:\Program Files(X86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Use cd to navigate into platform-tools and then try using adb commands
