I've been Googling how to do this for a while and can't figure out how to get it to go through. I rooted successfully, but I just can't figure out how to push the recovery image. I'm using the "evo-recovery" folder from toasts guide.
I read somewhere that the command to reboot into recovery is:
./adb-mac reboot recovery
but when I put that into a Terminal window I get:
-bash: ./adb-mac: No such file or directory"
Any input would be greatly appreciated, I have quite literally zero experience with this outside of rooting my Hero. If someone can point me to a well written guide I would appreciate that as well, the best way for me to learn it is by doing it myself. I've exhausted all of my resources though
Thanks
I will have to get the SDK, but I don't think it is adb-mac. I think it should just be adb in the SDK folder.
You will need to go to the directory you have the SDK in and then go to the tools folder. You will find adb in there do you would do: ./adb reboot recovery

Correct. He should be typing:
Code:
./adb reboot recovery

Thanks guys, I'll give that a shot. I don't remember having an issue flashing my Hero, I think I just started reading bad info and got myself all confused.
EDIT: All of that worked and I got it to boot into recovery but the Terminal window is locked up and wont allow for text input...
Code:
Eric-Highleys-MBP:tools erichighley$ cd /Applications/AndroidSDK/tools/evo-recovery
Eric-Highleys-MBP:evo-recovery erichighley$ ./recovery-mac.sh
EVO Recovery Mode
Pushing required files to device...
Password:
How am I supposed to enter a password if I can't type? This has happened twice to me, it requires me to pull the Evo battery and restart my computer before I can start the process over. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT #2: Weird, I just hit enter twice and it went....strangest root ever, I think so. Thanks for everyones help though. Much appreciated.

You should be able to type, try using a 3rd party terminal app if the issue is with OS X
When you type your password into teminal there is no evidence of whats being typed, that might have been your issue. You can type.... it just doesnt show anything. I assume to keep the password hidden.

Hey,
So here is the stock browser (stock as in wht u get with samsung's firmware, not aosp) with fullscreen turned on.
Instructions :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uninstall/Reinstall Method
Code:
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Browser.apk
rm /system/app/Browser.odex
pm uninstall com.android.browser
exit
exit
Now u have two options :
1.
Code:
adb install <drag Browser.apk here>
2.
Code:
adb push <drag Browser.apk here> /sdcard/Browser.apk
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
exit exit
Download
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update.zip Method

There will be a signature mismatch with the stock browser that is installed.
Once u uninstall it like i showed, then u can install/uninstall this like a regular app.
Edit : I cud make this into an update.zip if ppl want it tht way :S. That will replace the stock browser with this, but since core won't be running it won't complain about a digest mismatch in the manifest.
hmm okay i see an update.zip would be cool if you could thanks for this!
sorry for the stupid question, but... What do "fullscreen" means? What practical improvement we get?

Do u have adb setup ?
Like if you open command prompt / terminal and type "adb devices", u should see ur device. if you see "adb not found" or "list of attached devices" with noting underneath it then u haven't setup correctly. Google for setting up adb on ur platform.
Thx for help. I have uninstall it without problems. But by the installation i typing:
# adb install browser.apk
adb install browser.apk
adb: not found
#
I have copying your browser.apk in the tools folder. So what do I do wrong?
Thx you!

Did you typed it on Terminal or copied n paste??
because u may have probably wrongly typed it in terminal!
once u open terminal, you will see a $ icon on the extreme left n only after that u type su that it will change to #...try it again!!
This trick surely works!

i typed accurate.
please, you help concrete, thanks.
Well...I would advice you to copy and paste in Terminal!
Or try this in adb...
Dude..this trick certainly works...since u r entering it manually there must be an input error..probably an extra space while typing it or anything like that!!
Try copy n paste...that will do the trick!

How'd you get it to stop boot looping? I can flash ROMS, but after I reboot once it'll boot loop at lockscreen. I am on the 5.10 hboot I had to flash that ruu tho then re downgrade and root. Idk how to get my phone to where it'll allow me to reboot it without it going into an endless boot loop.

We can't help you unless you explain how you flash a ROM. What did you wipe? Are you checking MD5. Are you waiting at least 2-3 minutes after first boot before unlocking?

I found my old GS3 which I had a lock screen but I can't remember the pattern I used. I tried doing the forget my password option but it's not recognizing that either. I there a way to unlock the phone without knowing the pattern?
Does it have a custom recovery? If not, flash one using Odin and then boot into recovery (power off then do VolUp+Power+Home) and run the following
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
Source: Forgot my password once and had to figure this out :sly:
