I've got this weird problem, its not who knows what but, i had cm10.2, since they're all nightlies i decided to do a full wipe,
Installed 4.2.2 takju factory image, then before i even start to boot the phone i installed cm10.1.2, the way i put cm10.1.2 after the full wipe was
from the tutorial on the cyanogenmod wiki. This command:
Code:
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
Which in my case is cm-10.1.2-maguro.zip
I did the same with the gapps that go with the cm.
Now the problem is that when i get into CWM v6023, And i, for example select choose zip from sdcard i see the two zip files in there, in /sdcard/
but i can only install them from the cwm ofc... when i boot into the rom and use root explorer or file manager, both with root permissions, i cannot
see the files in the /sdcard/, i tried with
Code:
adb pull cm-10.1.2-maguro.zip /sdcard/
But all i get is "remote object does not exist"
I tried with shell rm, it still does not exist.
But i can see it taking space, usually i get around 500 mb used with a clean install + my apps, but now i get 750mb because of those two files
Is there any way i can remove them?Because the only thing that sees they're there is CWM..
Uhm i was just wondering around file manager when i ran into /mnt/shell/emulated, it seems all the files go there after you put them in the /sdcard/
I dont know the reason for that but anyways, solved the problem..

I'm trying to remove some preinstalled apps from /system/app folder. My phone is rooted.
When I'm trying this over adb it says that I only have Read permissions. What am I doing wrong?
Put the phone into recovery mode then do the adb commands.
You only have read access while booted. R/W access while in recovery.
Mh I tried this but I couldn't even open the shell, said something.sh is missing.
You mean the normal recovery and not Clockworkmod or something, right?
You have to put it in the custom recovery. Clockworkmod or whichever one you use.
Ah okay, thank you, I will try that.
Though I need to use the normal recovery.
I tried it with clockwork now. It works but when I do "cd system" and do "ls" it's empty...so I can't see any app-folder?!
Edit: Oh I forgot - do I need to mount system first using the partitions menu?!

Oy, thanks now I finally got it
Remove worked, pull didn't (or it took >5min for a simple apk file and I aborted it too early).
I have looked around quite a bit, and haven't really figured out the straight answer on this.
I have seen apks that can be downloaded of things like the clock or gallery app, and then I have seen custom roms that include things like the AOSP dialer, contact app, browser, etc. However in my small amount of trying, I couldn't install them on top of another ROM (or stock).
Is there an issue with signing them, or does it have to be done in recovery mode, or do I have to remove the existing stuff in something like Titanium backup and then install the other APKs, or would my only option be to learn the dark arts of rom cooking?
Edit: Answered thanks to mrchu001. Doing an "adb remount" and then issuing the install command from the shell worked.
I'm not sure if this works for ALL apks between roms, but when i flashed Fresh it didn't have the cooliris 3d gallery that DC has, so i opened the zip, and copied the APK from one rom to the other then flashed it. I'm sure there are some programs that just won't work even if you did it this way, but something to consider.
That works in most cases..
Just get the zip on your computer, open it extract the apk you want and adb install it to your connected device.
No luck with either method mentioned above. I'm sure I don't know what I'm doing... but I did an adb install <apk name> and got an error:
Code:
MacBook: tools laydros$ adb install CarDock.apk
1344 KB/s (238640 bytes in 0.173s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/CarDock.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
And I grabbed one of the base rooted roms, unzipped, added the CarDock and DeskClock apks to the system/app folder with everything else, and the ROM failed to load. I did the same clockwork rom manager install rom from SD card methods I have done before. I assume this means that the zip was not properly signed.
The apks I was testing were ones from bugless beast 0.4, any ideas?

it looks like you didnt direct your terminal correctly. i'm assuming you have the sdk on your computer btw. now try to upload the rom you want on your phone. plug it in. make sure usb debugging is set. make sure the apks you want to put on your phone are on your desktop. and try this:
Code:
cd ~/*where every your sdk is*/tools
./adb remount
./adb shell
./adb install ~/desktop/*apk name* /system/app
./adb shell reboot
maybe you already tried but just incase.. do you have the Unknown sources check box "Checked" under "Settings/application" menu? if not you need to to install apps not from the market..

The remount part did it, and then doing the install from adb shell. Thanks so much.
For the sake of anyone else that finds this, once you type adb shell, you are working from the phones shell instead of the one on your computer, so you would skip that command. I ended up moving the files to the sdcard, and then doing
Code:
cd ~/*where every your sdk is*/tools
./adb remount
./adb shell
(at this point you are at the phone's prompt)
install /sdcard/*apk name* /system/app
exit
(now you are back at the computer's prompt)
./adb shell reboot
Now I need to figure out what to install to get the phone/contacts working. Calendar and Mms applications were easy, but after installing several apks for the phone and contacts I just have a mess.
FroydVillain 1.0.0 install *.apk files in /system/app
Hi has anyone tried installing another apk file in FroydVillain 1.0. I follow the steps in the thread described i am able to issue adb shell commands and i have placed the apk files in the SD card as described. but i am getting an error as below that the file or dir is not found. tried several paths:
# install /mnt/sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install /mnt/sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install: can't stat '/mnt/sdcard/*.apk': No such file or directory
# install /sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install /sdcard/*.apk /system/app
install: can't stat '/sdcard/*.apk': No such file or directory
I use /mnt/sdcard path cause on Froyo the SDCARD folder is under /mnt.
any help solving this. i am trying to install some of the HTC Sense UI app to sys app. Like Stock.apk for test. and HTCAlbum.apk and others same result every time.
I have tried also AndroidCommander 0.7.9.6 updated for froyo. installing with it's install option button, and also from the console i run the shell command for install, successfully adds the apk in sys app folder but the apk is not installed, and asks for installation.
Thanks.
Regards Alek
help
Hi,
Can you explain to begginers (like me) how do you installed the apk in system/app? please, I want to install contacs.apk form CM9 to other rom.
Thanks.
Hey all, ive been trying to change my boot screen to the haters gonna hate one for a few days now but cant seem to get it to work at all, i have full root and tried to the fastboot method and recovery/adb method. no matter what it stays the same as the one i had originally, i never get errors when trying to push the files if someone can give me instructions for dummies haha or another method id really appreciate it sorry for being a noob at all this.
I had the same problem
First of all, what rom are you using? Different rooms pull from different places. I might be able to help you out. If you are running cyan6, try this:
Adb reboot recovery
Adb remount (make sure it remounts. Maybe also do adb root to make sure.)
Adb push blahblah.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Adb push blahblah.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Adb push blahblah.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
If you want sound, push that to the same locations. Make sure there is only one of each file in each folder. Then, to check,
Adb reboot
Hope this helps
oh yeah sorry i should have included that i am on evios 1.2 beta 2 rom
I'm not familiar on where to place boot on this rom. Try all three locations I suggested. System customize resource. System media. Data local. Tell me if it works out.
I had this animation on EViO. I just pushed it from my desktop to system/media. Worked fine for me.
how do you push it from the desktop? i tried all 3 methods posted above and none worked. i had the file in the android sdk tools folder though...also whenever i try to do adb remount i get "remount failed:invalid argument" and adb root gives me "error:closed" i tried killing adb and restarting but no luck
This might be an obvious question, but do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? Under Setting>Applications>Development
You arent going to be able to push anything if you can't get ADB running first.
yeah debugging has been enabled the whole time
ok have you been in recovery mode?
try typing
adb shell
su (make sure #comes up.)
exit (retype until you get back to the tools directory)
then do the push commands to system media, system customize resource, and data local.
Just use this program. Its as easy as it gets.

Putting sound in boot animation doesn't work with cm6. Just to clarify. No one has been able to get it to work unless you found something out to make it work please share as I have hates going to hate also and want to use haters everywhere mp3 and is perfect for it.

thats what i get when in command prompt when i try to use the program you just posted above
Want a easier way? Use root explorer and copy and paste. Works for my every time. It's in the market. And root explore you can manually turn writeable on and off to move it into system. It's on the top right of screen in root explorer when you go into system folder.
Edit: the command you are tying to put in enables you to push and pull in the system folder. Root explore you can just click a button.

Good idea
Root explorer works most of the time. If you have the cash, go ahead. You should make site out posted though.

been trying to use adb and i keep on getting that....any of you know a fix?
I recently flashed a new rom and got stuck in a bootloop. I use teamwin recovery. I'm planning on following the guide by efrant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 but I want to copy all of my data to my computer. I can use adb commands and my phone shows up under adb devices. I tried searching for adb commands to copy files to computer but everything I found seems to be how to copy files to the phone.
I looked at another thread about using adb to backup but it appears that I need to have my phone on and running normally. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
I used the command "adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod" to try to recover my nandroid backups but I want to be able to pull everything off of my phone
I tried using the command "adb pull system" but it doesn't pull anything. Is their a way to pull everything from my phone and put it on my computer so I can eventually copy it back?
Thanks a bunch.
What exactly do you mean by all of your data / everything? Most of your data is stored on your sdcard anyway. There's not much you'd lose.
adb pull /sdcard/ ~/Desktop/ [as an example].
If you wanted ALL of your data, i.e. factory image backup, you should've done that before flashing a new rom.
You cannot pull /system as its protected and would need insecure adbd for that to work. You could try to dd entire partition blocks, but i don't see the point. Just flash a factory image.
P.S. If you're in a bootloop, you can use adb in your recovery.
How do I find where the backup goes? I did "adb pull /sdcard/"
I did have a nandroid backup but I want to make sure I get all of my files and music off just in case
you have to tell adb where you want the files to go. you only gave it one parameter.

go read syntax.

So I want to make sure I read this right, if I type in "adb pull /sdcard/ G:\backup" then it should copy everything from my sdcard folder into my backup folder on G: right?
yes.

Awesome, thanks for your help.
I've been searching my _ off for two days now to find a solution for my problem, but I can't find one working for me.
What I do have right now:
NO working ROM (I believe because of a failed atempt to revert to a backup in CWM)
Access to my bootloader (unlocked through HTCDev)
Access to my recovery (Which is the latest CWM)
Fastboot/adb working
Phone boots upon the HTC logo screen
NO ROM zipfile on the SD-Card (I accidentilly deleted that, I still hate myself for that)
I've managed to push to ROM file into both /data and /system, which (ofcourse) isn't usefull to flash from because they don't show up in CWM.
What I've tried:
Reverting to a Nandroid backup, I've 2 on the sdcard. Both don't pass the part where /system is being restored.
'asd shell' to push files, or mount the SD card, does not work. First I had the error saying '--exec /system/bin/sh failure: file or dir not found (2)'. I managed to push the sh file into system, (and I believe into /system/bin), and the error changed to '[...] No directory (20)'
asd push /sdcard/; doesn't work because /sdcard is read-only.
In CWM I can't mount as USB storage, is says something about a file which can't be found.
TWRP recovery doesn't work on my device, I can touch whatever I wan't, the only button responding is the power button, which causes a locked recovery, which I can't unlock. (You need to swipe for that, which my phone seems to ignore).
I've read almost every topic on XDA and whatever Google could give me, but most solutions somewhere relied on the asd shell, or pushing into the /sdcard, or simply assume I still can mount as USB storage.
Does anyone have any suggestions left on howto get a ROM into the /sdcard so I can flash it? I would be thanking you forever!
Thanks in advance!
No ADB shell, then adb push *filename* /sdcard?
Maybe sideload a ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I can't push files to the /sdcard since it's an read-only directory.
I tried the sideload part, but instead of executing something, it shows me the help of adb.
Any clue how to fix my shell, or get a ROM on it?
Tried typing 'adb remount' a few times and trying again?
Also, you should update your CWM to latest version so you can mount sdcard

I tried using remount, but that is to remount the /system partition right? I can put the ZIP on the /system partition. But CWM can't install from there.
I'm using the last version of CWM, but it gives me an error about a file not being found, so I can't mound as USB Storage device.
I returned the phone, to the store. I pretty much gave up after another few hours of struggling.
