adb push flash_image /data/local
adb push mtd0.img /data/local (that is a zero, not an oh in “mt0.img”)

Are you sure that adb push actually pushed the files?
Did you get a confirmation?

[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] Turning S-on help

I am trying to unroot my g2 in order to send it in. I used gfree method on Wiki to root the phone and to unroot it. However, I am stuck trying to turn s-on. When I enter:
$ adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
I am getting:
/data/local/tmp/psneuter: permission denied
Any ideas?
I believe you have to do "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter" on it (I'm not -too- sure on the numbers, but I think it's 755)
EDIT: chmod 777, my bad - thanks posters below
Well the steps from the wiki are:
$ adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ adb shell
It's the 3rd one that I am stuck on.
Since I am unable to get temp root following the wiki, would I be able to use visionary to get temp root and then s-on following the wiki?

Hi !
Are you sure that you got a valid copy of psneuter?
Try to download the zip from psneuter.zip unpack it and try it again with the file that is called psneuter in it.
have fun - Guhl
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately that didn't work either. Not sure whats going on, but I think it's something with the phone. I just cannot figure it out. At least it works for now.
Type:
1)adb shell
***you should see the '$' symbol (if you have '#', then do nothing, you're already root)
2)chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
3)/data/local/tmp/psneuter
4)exit
5)adb shell
6)su
If you have the '#', then you're root
I don't know if this will work, but this is not dangerous at all to try

Thanks you for trying to help! When I got to the third step it told me permission denied again.
I was able to FINALLY get s-on. I thought I would post how I did just in case anyone else ends up having this problem.
I used visionary to temp root my phone and then used the wiki to turn s-on. Only problem I had was trying to remove the psneuter file from the phone. Other than that no problems. Now I shall see if I can get away with sending the phone in.

[Q] Permroot on Desire Z failed - what I do wrong?

Hello.
I've tried to root my Desire Z. I wanted to achieve only the ROOT not S-off and so on. Just to be able to use some root requiring applications like DSP Manager or Adds free.
1. So I've downloaded and installed Android SDK.
2. Started ADB
3. "adb devices" gave me the proper answer
4. Then I've copied and started psneuter and misc_vesion:
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
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5
exit
5. Then I've tried to root the phone:
Ive copied the required files:
adb install AndroidTerm.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push rage /data/local/tmp
adb push root /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/
And then from the Terminal Emulator I've entered
/data/local/tmp/root
I've got some messages that the everything is read only so I've tried rage first:
/data/local/tmp/rage
I've got the proper "Forked #### childs" output
and then I've tried the "/data/local/tmp/root" again. But I'm getting the "cannot fork" message.
I'm new in this stuff s please help me. What do I do wrong?
I only want the simple root access I don't want to downgrade my phone and install any custom roms.
Please help.
ps. my "compilation number" is: 1.72.405
As far as I remember your supposed to flash 1.34 Rom after changing the version number to 1.33 as the rooting is only possible via 1.34 Rom and not 1.72 Rom .... And you clearly missed that step .... Open desire z wiki and read the psneuter guide ... Follow it word for word .... You will root your phone

Just out of curiosity, if you only want to root to use some applications and such, why don't you just temp root using visionary and just redo it whenever you restart your phone?
Thanks for the answers guys.
your supposed to flash 1.34 Rom after changing the version number to 1.33

hispeedworm - I don't want to downgrade my phone. I don't need it and I don't want to loose whole the settings and apps and start from the beginning just for using some special apps.
mmduluth - I've used the visionary method from this topic while it seemed the easiest one for the beginner. However after taping the "TempRoot Now!" the VISIONary+ seemed to hang. The screen was black for several minutes.
So I've decided it does not work.
Anyway, I'd prefer to have permanent root than a temp one for example for using "autostarts" - which as far as I'm concerned works AFTER rebooting the phone.
So anyone could tell me where is a mistake in what I did?
I suppose I've omitted one thing in former trials so I've tried to root it again.
After entering the Terminal Emulator I've run rage:
/data/local/tmp/rage
I've got the Forked #### childs message so everything was ok till then.
Then I've reset terminal --> menu-->reset term
And then I've run the terminal again.
I should get the # sign but what I get is the totally white screen with no possibility to write any command. It's not responding. I can only get out from it by pressing the home button.
So what's going wrong?

If you read enough threads/post, at the moment, the only way to gain permaroot is to downgrade your ROM. Unless, somebody finds a way to do it without the need to downgrade.
And, as I understand, using Visionary apps would cause damage to your device. Be careful!
Cheers...
Thank you silverwind. Now it's clear.
So anyone is working on this?
Cheers

Gfree permission denied?

Hmm. I finally got past working out how to use the adb shell, got to the delicious root shell within it and now I'm trying to run the gfree command:
./gfree -f
and I keep getting
./gfree: permission denied
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have the # symbol, so I know I'm inside the root shell...
You already ran the chmod 777 command?
When I was rooting my son's MyTouch 4G I had a similar problem, I ended up pulling the battery and trying again and it worked the second time.
