[Q] problem with themeing

So everything gone fine till I try to push the framework-res.apk to my phone.
adb push framework-rez.apk /system/framework/
'adb' is not a recongnized as an internal or external command,
know I understand what that means but I installed SDK manager and had no cmd in there so I just used Command Prompt. If that is all of my problem how to I get SDK cmd? It didnt install when I installed the problem.

It's not enough to just install SDK manager, you also have to install ADB if you want to interface with your phone through your computer. You shouldn't have to go through SDK manager to use ADB once you have it installed, it should work straight through windows command prompt.

That will walk you through installing adb. Good luck.

Well thank you that helped me get pass that issue. Now how do I change the permissions on my phones framework-res.apk?
The error I have now is
"failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apl': Read-only file system."
I can't seem to figure a way around this.

I had that issue too, how I bypass it is to boot to CWM, go to "mounts and storage", then mount /system (and /data if that's relevant to what you're pushing). Others have used a line of code to mount the system from the PC end, but I find this easier to do through the phone.

Thank you that did the trick

Go to the system32 folder on your c drive and copy cmd from there to your tools folder in the sdk.
Now when you want to push, put the files you want to push in the tools folder and then open up the cmd that you placed in that folder, then run the push command.

It worked for the file being in that folder and all. But I still have to do it in recovery and unmount system. I still get the read-only error

Need Help ASAP

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
The run down. My phone is bootloader unlocked rooted etc. already flashed xenon rom and everything was great. (Just got the device today)
Ok so here's the trouble i'm in. I decided I wanted to try another rom so i boot into clockwork recovery wipe system,data cache etc. suddenly all my files dont exist.
I have no back up file (my stupidity). I can still get into fastboot, clockwork etc, but it does not recognize a sd card on the device.
i tried loading up Samnsung Toolkit v7.8.0 and all i see in the top menu is
fastboot-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
adb-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
this is what worries me. I plug the device in on my windows computer it recognizes something no sd card.. currently downloading factory images
BUT WHAT DO I DO?!!!! pls help and pls do not flame me etc. All I'm asking is simple help thanks

A. Do not use toolkit. Unless you know how to solve things manually
B. Google how to setup adb and fastboot.
C. "adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/" while on custom recovery
D. Flash that ROM

also when tryin to access card via clockwork it states it cannot located directory...its like my sdcard does not exist

There is no sdcard on the gNex. As long as data is mounted you should be good
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

1st of all, Gnex doesn't have SDcard, therefore, you can't mount it. You can only use adb to push and pull files on recovery
2nd, are you sure you got proper driver? Do you actually have the ROM.zip on the same directory as adb.exe? If not, you need to do that. Also, if /sdcard/ doesn't work, /storage/sdcard0/ should work. It's a same directory. Just in different name for some reason.

Erased everything. Stuck in recovery with no rom. Help?

So I screwed up, wasn't paying attention and wiped everything including the internal sd card. Now I'm stuck in recovery with no rom to flash. I tried mounting usb storage in recovery but nothing happens. My computer dings when I plug the phone in but it doesn't show up, then I press mount and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Guide in my signature.
Post one for ADB.
Post three for pushing a ROM.zip to your phone.

You can use ADB to push a ROM .zip to the internal storage while in the recovery.

Ok awesome, thanks guys. For a minute I was thinking I might be screwed since I couldn't mount.

ADB and fastboot can usually save your ass.

Ok, downloaded latest drivers, reinstalled ADB using the ADB for dummies app. copied rom to platform tools, held shift and right clicked inside the platform tools folder, clicked "open command window here".
In the command window I have after trying to push looks like this:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push milestone4.zip /sdcard/
error: device not found
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
Any idea how to get my device to be found?

You have your phone connected and booted into recovery? Then you need to install the adb driver. Use the naked driver mentioned in the 101 & faq (link is in my signature).

Open the device manager before plugging in your phone. Plug in your phone watch for newly listed devices. You should see your phone be added to the list.

Pushing ROM using ADB! Help!

Alright so I was an idiot and wiped data and internal storage...I figured I could just mount the phone like I could my Thunderbolt, but apparently not. I have adb installed and currently been going to platform-tools folder and opening command window...type adb devices and it shows my device in recovery...which is good. However as soon as I try to do "adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\baldwinguy77_toro_aosp_011913-120824-signed.zip" and it doesn't do anything and just scrolls through all the available commands you can do...I have tried multiple variations of that and nothing seems to work. Help me please, as I need my phone working and I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour now.

[q] SOLVED: ADB ROM PUSH ERROR: DEVICE NOT FOUND

EDIT:
I was trying to reflash JB 4.3 because of storage issues but unfortunately I accidentally deleted and formatted internal and sd storage, so Im left with no OS on my Gnex but I can boot on recovery and fastboot. Also before I deleted the internal I did not enable usb debugging yet at that time. Is there a way I can flash a stock image by just using toolkit? ty
I tried pushing through fastboot mode but it says error: device not found. I only have the platform tools on my pc.
UPDATE:
Finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use. I spent more than 24 hours looking for the right solution that would work for me and funny thing was I finally got the right way to one of the first threads i looked into but just didnt pay much attention to it which was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

Go into your device manager if you have windows, and see if you have any errors.
If you do, you might have an exclamation mark for the device: Galaxy. You can manually install the drivers from here, point it to your toolkit, I guess, since you downloaded it already.

If he reads efrant's "android 101" -which is STICKIED ON GENERAL forum- just the first post, he'll know everything and downloaded everything he needs to know and have to interact with his device.

I have read that already however I was hoping to just flash a file to the sdcard if is even possible considering I have formatted both internal and sdcard. I am very new to adb so its an easier way for me. But it seems then I will ave to do it the hard way. Thanks
PS
Not sure if this has any bearing but when I accidentally formated internal and sdcard it was a fresh 4.3 install and so android debugging was not enabled. Thanks

Doesn't matter because if you reboot in bootloader you can use fastboot(if drivers are installed properly), fastboot always works, you don't need to enable anything for it.

no, there's no ADB interface on FASTBOOT interface. You'll never be able to push anything through ADB in FASTBOOT interface. Please read the thread i talked about earlier, and this one too -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - Just the first post of each will do.

Thanks for this. Was stuck with no factory image because had to wipe data because of encryption. Then was in dilemma of how to load the ZIP to sdcard without having to reflash the stock all over. This saved me the time. Thanks again
