I'm trying to remove some of the stock apps on my Hero, including Rosie (Sense UI) and such. What mode do I boot in before doing this?
I know all of the steps to remove apps using adb (at least I think I do), I'm fully rooted, etc. But I can't seem to get it to work.
This is the command I'm using in adb
Code:
# rm /system/app/something.apk
(replacing something.apk with the actual apk name of course)
When I boot in Recovery, it says "File not found". When I boot in Fastboot, I can't connect to adb it seems. And when I boot into Android, it says "rm failed for something.apk, Read-only file system"
So am I missing a step? What should I be doing differently?
Boot into recovery, then do a "mount -a" to mount the filesystems.

It doesn't seem to work, here's the output:
Code:
C:\asdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT9ALNT00557 recovery
C:\asdk\tools>adb shell
/ # mount -a
mount -a

Thanks for the reply though.
Edit: Got it working, typing in "mount" alone without the -a switch worked Thanks marinierb
in normal mode you cold have just done
adb remount
adb rm /system/app/something.apk

That doesn't seem to work for me. This is what it outputs:
Code:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
If you can't remount it doesn't sound like you've rooted.

I've performed other operations that would normally require it, so I should be rooted.
Is there a way I can confirm if it's properly rooted or not?
shell prompt:
$ .. no root
# .. root
..try typing "su" once in the shell (abd shell or adb-windows.exe shell) and see what it brings up

typing only "mount" just list the mounted partitions, it will not mount anything. if your partition is ext4 you need to downgrade it to ext2 or ext3 or set the testflag, see "if you're having issues with ext4" in the first post of the recovery image thread.
Make sure you have run a Nandroid backup first so that if you accidentally remove something important.
Boot into normal mode. (full GUI)
Then:
Code:
C:\ADB MOUNT
C:\ADB SHELL
# rm /system/app/something.apk
reboot
You have to reboot at the end so that the apps are taken out of RAM, you may get FC (errors) if you try to do stuff after removing the apps before rebooting.
I removed (actually moved) *Twit*, Stock*, Launcher*, and a few other things.
HTH,
Unconn
i try this on the comment prompt while phone running.
cd\sdk
cd android-sdk-windows
cd tools
adb devices
adb shell
#mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
ls
i get all the apk. files
i try removing an apk.file
typing this syntax:
rm -f thenameoftheapp.apk
and it'll say:
rm failed for -f, read only file system
it wont let me write on the system im guessing.
Now i tried doing the same thing but phone mode is on recovery.
I have the nand protection unlocked so when i get to recovery mode
i have already the custom recovery setup showing, i don't run the recovery-windows.bat.
now when i type this on the comment prompt
cd\sdk
cd android-sdk-windows
cd tools
adb devices
adb shell
#mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
ls
i get all the apk. files
i try removing an apk.file
typing this syntax:
rm -f thenameoftheapp.apk
after i hit enter it shows me
#
so im assuming the apk. has been removed
after i exit the comment prompt and i wipe the dalvik-cache
i reboot the phone and all the apps i removed are still there and running still.
help please
I have been breaking my head over this over the last 3 hours, googled and stuff, but couldn't find anything.
I basically want to check the sizes of partitions on my SD Card. I have clockworkmod recovery on my phone and was trying to use ADB Shell. While the phone boots up in recovery mode when i type in "adb shell reboot recovery", when I try checking partitions using "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0", it gives an error saying "/sbin/sh: parted: not found".
Please help.
From terminal emulator on phone ( or adb shell if you want ) type:
df -h
Hello,
I'm using the new MIUI version with its super cool lockscreen themes.
But if my phone (HTC Desire GSM) starts up and want a pin for my sim-card I cannot unlock the lockscreen. It keeps hanging and I'm not able to enter my pin.
In the MIUI forum is a workaround with deleting specific files in the /data folder.
But how can I delete this only with booting into recovery?
I have to delete
/data/system/lockscreen and
/data/system/theme1
Everytime I enter "adb rm -r /data/system/lockscreen"
all the commands of adb shows up and nothing more.
Same for "adb su"
Please help me
You have to add "shell" between "adb" and "-r". So after navigating to android sdk codes should be:
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/system/lockscreen
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/system/theme1
No warranty for any damage.
Yes worked!
After I mounted /data of course
Thank you!
Or you can do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14839049&postcount=6819
Worked for me.
Here is the process
adb shell
cd cache
mkdir recovery
cd /
cp /sdcard/log /cache/recovery/
cp /sdcard/last_log /cache/recovery/
dd if=/sdcard/updaterecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
idme bootmode 0x5001
reboot
The cp command doesn't work on windows, IDK why but thats how it is, i figured I substitute cat /mnt/sdcard instead of cp/sdcard, but again dd command doesn't work even with /mnt/sdcard. Can someone please help me through the rest of the process? And no i don't have linux/mac computers.
Here are the rest of the steps
Now in recovery, you will see that the first option highlighted, is Install update.zip from sdcard. Press the Power button (ok).
When prompted to install, press the Power button again. The recovery is modded because it can’t be navigated through right now. No here is actually Yes so just select that.
Once the ROM is flashed, without rebooting your phone, open up command prompt or terminal and navigate to the location where the stock recovery is.
Now enter the following commands:
adb shell
mount sdcard
exit
adb push/sbin/
dd if=/sbin/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
adb reboot
The device will reboot twice now, and once it’s done, the CM7 logo will appear. For updates and queries,
It's simple install Ubuntu in windows using wubi .... It installs like a program and then u boot into it ... Don't be afraid of a penguin ....
You may just fall in love with a real operating system and check out mint ... Too

i believe you are missing a "su" command after adb shell
Yeah....you need adb shell, then SU to make the prompt go from $ to #. Try the commands then. They all work in win7, as I did it last night....three or four times.

Wrong forum!!!
I am stuck on:
Now enter the following commands:
adb shell
mount sdcard
exit
adb push/sbin/
dd if=/sbin/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
adb reboot
it just wont mount the sdcard says its busy, nevermind i rebooted and it worked.
But now i am stuck on the sbin part, i must be missing something
Ok, once again nevermind, i just modified the first recovery command to:
dd if=/sdcard/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery
and it worked out at cm7 boot anim right now.
Try "ADB shell" then "Su" then "Mount /sdcard"
Minus the " "
