Finally got the error!!! But it didn't work... Help..

Hello, and thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.
I finally got the error.
However, when I entered the first command of "1.bat",
it pushed the files, but this is what I got:
C:\sdk\tools>adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

I can tell you that I did apply the OTA update from Verizon a while back, does this have anything to do with it?
Please advise.... I am glued to this pc now and I will answer any questions that will help me to root as soon as you ask them. Again, thank you.

Did you run the update.zip from the phonerecovery and got the error before you pushed the files?

Didn't run anything. Tried to follow directions from the 10 minute how to video, and after I got the error I pressed the Up-Volume & Power Button. After this I ran the command "1.bat", and got the following output above.

Vol up + power, and select the second option right? umm, can you run adb shell? or are you still getting the error when you do?

Up + Volume, yes. This get's me to the screen where I can apply sd card update. I just watched video again and when he got to this part he selected this option just so that it would error out. I did not perform this step. Maybe that's why permission was denied when I tried to push the files.

Did you run "apply update.zip from SDcard". You need to run that and let it fail!
Then copy the files to your card.
Then run the "apply update" again, this time overwriting the SDcard file as soon as your phone says "verifying"!!
If the .bat file you have is giving you errors, i would suggest, doing it manually. All you havta do is copy and paste commands from the guides.
(welp you already seem to have found your prob )

Understood. Missing that step may have just cost me everything as now I'm not able to get the error again. Thanks for help everyone. Now I have to get back to that step. Will keep you posted....

if you didnt run the apply sdcard update.zip before running the 1.bat it would error out with permission denied. Trust me i would know, having rooted 20 phones and being the creator of the 10min root video

Shot myself in the foot as I can't get it again. Highly pi***d at myself. Had to call it quits, to frustrated.

The SD card isn't mounted by default in recovery. The step to let the update.zip fail is a way of getting it mounted.

Hopefully someone can help me !

Cant Run ADB Commands

Im trying to downgrade my Desire Z. Using this code:
Code:
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
When i type:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
I get this message:
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory
I then tried to push the same file if i added .txt at the end of psneuter.
This still did not work.
I then typed cd [directory] and tried it (without .txt) and it still did not work.
I then tried it with .txt and it works.
So i had to cd the directory and then add the file extension? Guessing this isn't normal, but i could deal with it.
However when i got to the third line, i don't know the file extension of misc_version, so i was unable to continue. Can anyone shed some light please? What am i doing wrong or what haven't i done?
Thanks

Sounds like you didn't set your path; either set a path to adb or make sure all the files are in the same directory of adb and run the commands from that directory

i thought i did set a path though. and it doesn't explain why i need to add the file extension...or is that normal?
can you remind me how to set a path please? i went to computer and path>edit then added the directory of platform-tools and tools to the list. is that all thats needed? where should i save the files such as psneuter?
thanks

All I do is rip out the needed adb files and put them in a folder on my dekstop. Then you can push the files you need to your device.

Sounds like you added the path correctly; if you did, you should be able to run adb from anywhere. It doesn't matter where the files are on your computer, what matters is that you're running the commands from that folder.
For example, if all the files are in C:\root_files then when you open up a command prompt, you need to type 'cd C:\root_files', hit enter and then run the adb commands from there.

Can you not drag and drop the files into the terminal in Windows like you can on Mac?

thanks for all the comments. will have another go tomorrow.
i made another thread but no one has answered, my desire z is running android 2.2.1. do i need to downgrade to 2.2, then 1.74, then 1.34 to root it, or can i go straight from 2.2.1 to 1.34?
Thanks

The 2.2.1 is android version, not sense version.
You need to downgrade to 1.34 sense version, which is also running 2.2 I think.

i solved the above problem but now have a new problem.
After i typed "adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter"
to try and get temporary root, i got this message: /data/local/tmp/psneuter: permission denied
I googled about a bit and tried another command:
C:\Root_Files>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
$ cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 0755 psneuter
chmod 0755 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
./psneuter
property service neutered.
killing adbd. (should restart in a second or two)
Then tried adb shell again.
It granted me root access, but i figured i'd try and stick to the tutorial i was on.
so i went back and typed adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter again, and now i get this message:
mmap() failed. Operation not permitted
however if i typed "adb shell" i get #.

[Q] Rooting AT&T S3

So I am trying to manually root my S3 without flashing a rom. I am able to get through most of the steps in these instructions up to the point where it requires you to put phone into download mode. I get phone into download mode, but when I connect to the PC, it doesn't see the phone.
This step worked:
To confirm your device is properly detected, in the command prompt, run
Code:
adb devices
Now copy busybox, su, superuser.apk to /data/local/tmp/ using adb.
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp adb push su /data/local/tmp adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
These steps worked:
Now run adb shell
Code:
adb shell
Note that you see a "$" sign in the command prompt. That means you are not rooted.
Next run the following commands in the shell to change permissions and get some limited privileges for the Superuser files:
Code:
chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
Note that the names of the files are case sensitive.
Files are there and are verified when I ls /data/local/tmp. All three files are there.
This is where I have a stumbling block:
Once in download mode, connect the Android device using the microusb cable to the computer.
Now using the open Nautilus window, navigate to /UserData/local/tmp/ folder and verify that you have the files you sent to the device viz. su, busybox and Superuser.apk
So if I am able to push files to the phone, why won't it recognize it when in download mode?
Using Fedora Linux and have the full Android SDK installed.

[Q] Rooting, pushed file not found?!?

Hey all! Desperately seeking help here: I'm rooting my MyTouch 3g slide, and have successfully completed all the steps up to this point where I need to run "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" from the devices "/data/local/tmp/" folder. The previous steps are as follows from cyanogen's wiki page:
"On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:"
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All of these with the exception of the last line are successful. After running chmod 755, I typed the following:
Code:
ls -l /data/local/tmp/
I get the following result:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5392 Aug 25 2010 rageagainstthecage-arm5
.bin
but finally, entering
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
I get
Code:
/sbin/sh: /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin: not found
It's there. I don't get it. Heeeelllpp meeeeeeee
