help rooting CDMA Hero on windows 7 64 bit

I have been following the unlock instructions on these posts on how to unlock the Hero, but I am having some trouble. When to comes to making the adb shell, it just doesn't do it. It shows a dollar sign and says that the request is denied. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong. Are there extra steps for me because there are x86 files? If I have to put the android sdk into the program files x86 folder, how would I enter that into the commander? Any help would be appreciated guys, this is driving me crazy.

OK so you get to the dollar sign. What do you do then?

Just extract the sdk so its a folder. Then go to Start->Run-> type cmd.exe in the box that opens. Now navigate to where you extracted the sdk folder. If you extracted it straight onto the c:\ drive at top level, you'd do something like this:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
That will get you into the directory that has adb.exe
Now follow the instructions in the "how to root" thread.

I can get down to the point where I execute the adp push and all the lines come up saying that the adp is restarted and there is obviously a command that is executed.
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
this part is when it says access is denied. I follow everything perfectly, but I just don't get it.

Oh, easy.
Type "su" and hit enter.
The dollar sign prompt indicates you are running as a regular user. Run su and it will give you a # prompt indicating you are running as root.
Then do the chmod.

It specifically says after entering this line
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
system cannot find the path specified. Any ideas?

so when the dollar sign comes up, just type su and hit enter, that's it?

Are you sure the asroot2 file has been copied over to your phone? What I did is extract asroot2 into the tools folder, so that I could just say adb push asroot2 /data/local/
My suggestion is to make sure the file is in /data/local/
Also, here is the full thing taken from the other thread:
Code:
adb push /directory_you_placed_asroot2/asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su

Yup, I put it in the tool folder within the android sdk. I am using the 1.5 sdk as well.

I just really can't understand what I'm doing wrong

Do:
ls -al /data/local
Do you see asroot there?

it says not found. I entered it by the dollar sign

That means the file isn't copied over. You need to do the adb push line again, and make sure it copies the file over.

how do I do that? Is there a something that it does or says to let you know it has copied over?

Kamar234 said:

Click to expand...

The first line here:
Code:
adb push /directory_you_placed_asroot2/asroot2 /data/local/
That puts the asroot2 file into your phone's /data/local/ directory.
This line gets you into your phone's shell:
Code:
adb shell
AT THIS POINT, you should see a $ dollar sign. This means you are in your phone.
This line will let you check that asroot2 has been copied over:
Code:
ls -al /data/local
This line gives the file you just copied over, permission to execute/run:
Code:
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
This line runs the file you copied over:
Code:
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
This line mounts your file system on your phone as writable:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I am also running windows 7 through vmware fusion, do you think that would make a difference.

I don't know, I don't think it should. Can you type everything in and then paste us your results?

Type pwd and hit enter.
What do you see?

Thank you so much for all your help everyone. I think I may have finally gotten it. If I am installing an app that needs root access, will it install at all if the phone isn't rooted?

How to get APPS back into system/apps/

I updated my rom and there are some omitted apps that I would like to get back into system/apps/ for example VoiceDialer.apk, but I cannot seem to get them back on. I am using Fresh Rom 0.4 and the phone is obviously rooted. maybe I am doing something wrong in adb shell but I keep getting one of 2 different erors. Either permission denied or adb not found. Thank you in advance for your help.

1) Permission denied - make sure that when you do an adb shell, you're root (have the # prompt) and make sure you've mounted /system as rw (adb remount)
2) adb not found - make sure there's only one adb.exe on your computer and that it's the one from the SDK and that the SDK's /tools directory is in your path (to be safe, you can always just run adb from that directory)

1. the procedure I used is this: from the cmd prompt in the androidsdk/tools/ directory:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system/app
# adb push VoiceDialer.apk system/app
but its a no go. Can't understand why.
BTW, I have the VoiceDialer.apk file in the androidsdk/tools folder just to make the push easier.

Ok, here is a screen shot from my command prompt window. I know someone knows what the hell I'm doing wrong. Just wanna get the damn voice dialer back on my phone. Please help, thank you.

you cant do adb push while in shell ($ or #). Exit out and just try tying the adb push

When I do that I get permission denied or something to that effect.

Yeah there's a post about this in the Fresh thread.
The most straightforward way is this:
Reboot to the recovery partition.
adb shell into the phone.
Issue the following command to mount the system partition:
mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Type exit to exit the shell.
Then do:
adb push c:\directory-with-the-apks /system/app

Pushed apk to /system/tools by mistake

So as the title says, I pushed an apk to "system/tools" on my phone on accident instead of apps. How can I remove this push. I have tried rm -r /system/tools/__.apk but its telling me it doesn't exist. Is it possible it did nothing? I got a file transfer after doing so. I've also tried finding that folder (tools) in astro, but its not a folder and gives me the mesage file type not found. Thanks

Get andExplorer and browse to the /system/app folder to see if it is there, of on a computer use Android Commander.

You would also have to remount
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /system/tools/XYZ.apk

rm -r is a recursive deletion. For a single file leave off the -r. Why?
Because if you accidentally forget to put in the file name it will delete everything in the directory and below it.

Correct, but when I try this it says its not a valid directory. And when I navigate to that folder with astro is not an openable folder. Which led me to believe it didn't transfer, or just wouldn't allow it. However, cmd showed the transfer data and time after pushing. Thats why I was confused

smw is correct, -r is for directories only, so the proper command would be:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/tools/XYZ.apk

I've tried this too I get
"rm failed for system/tools/app.apk, Not a Directory"

try this:
adb remount
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then cd to the right directory and type
rm xxxx.apk

since their is no tools directory it clearly didn't autmoatically create one. Instead it just made a file called /system/tools which is your apk file. to remove it just "adb shell rm /system/tools"

Ah ha. So there is no such thing as /system/tools on the phone? This is what I was curious about. So deleting the file will /system/tools altogether should be ok?

cd into /system & then ls to make sure there is tools folder.

sorry for the recursive thing, wasn't thinking about what I was typing.
-r is not needed.

Re-install mediascape after root.

Thanks for the great job done by developers. However, I noticed mediascape was removed after root. Personally I think mediascape is nice but failed to install it from the app folder on sdcard. Searched the whole thread but didn't find a method.
I tried manually copy the mediascape.apk to /data/app, reboot, then mediascape is restored in the application drawer and can be run functionally.
Here is the details.
Connect the X10 to PC using USB debug mode.
Get the adb.exe ready (you can run it from the root step4 folder directly)
0. Copy mediascape.apk to the step4 folder.
1. Start command prompt as administrater.
2. Change to the step4 folder.
3. Run "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system" without quotes.
4. Run "adb shell chmod 777 /data/app" without quotes.
5. Run "adb push mediascape.apk /data/app" no quotes.
6. Run "adb shell reboot" no quotes.
BTW: I have copied all the mediascape related files back to /system/app as well, by running "adb shell chmod 777 /system/app" and using adb push.
Seems it's not ideal as the apk is not installed but added to the X10 directly.
Any better ideas?

Try RealPlayer for Android, it's a new app, really good!

Nah, nothing can beat mediascape.
anyway, how can one get timescape back?

Can you see mediascape.apk in the /data/app folder? If yes have you copied 4 mediascape files back to /system/app?

The data/app folder is not on your sdcard. Up one level.

Don't really know if this breaks anything in your X10, so use this at your own risk.

Turn on USB-debugging mode. Run command prompt (start->run->"cmd"). Change to your step4 directory. Enter those commands line by line.

op's method did not work for me but this one worked perfect

it worked now.
thanks so much for the instruction

thanksss it works

would anyone please upload *.apk and *.odex files please, since i cant find em on my x10 anymore. thanks

*.odex files
can some one please share mediascape.odex and MediascapePluginManager.odex files

Both the stock 2.1 gallery and for example doubletwist or poweramp kicks mediascapes ass when it comes to usability, I installed Z's 2.2.1 ROM a week ago and must admit that I dont miss media/timescape one bit Bottom case is that I'll rather use a semi-stable 2.2 ROM than a slow SE rom ;-)

[Q] adb push- why am I getting permission denied?

phone: LG esteem ms910
Rooted: Yes
I'm trying to adb push a .apk file into my phones /system/app folder. These are the steps I am taking in trying to do this, but I am getting a permission denied response at the "adb push" part. Oh and my phone is under the "internet connection" setting. The other two (mass storage, charge only) wont let my phone enter debugging mode.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
adb push C:\Myfile.apk /system/app
Also when I enter the "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" command, It pops up twice but without the # symbol, not sure if there is an error there but it ends up looking like this:
Code:
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tool>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tool>

I think you would want it to be on charge only, as the other options are utilizing the USB while charge only does not. That is how my setup functions... I did have the permission denied error before when I was using Ubuntu 10.04. Are you sure you have an up to date version of JDK? And the USB rules?

your command should be
adb push C:\Myfile.apk /system/app/myfile.apk
you have also to run adb as root or enable rw for /system/app
Basically:
______________________________________________
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
adb push C:\Myfile.apk /system/app/myfile.apk
________________________________________________
should do the job

@imheroldman- I tried leaving it on charge only, but the devices wasnt found when I ran the adb devices command, and yes the JDK is the latest.
@djodjoni -Hey I tried your suggestions and it worked.
Thanks to the both of you for helping.

FWIW, I got permission denied errors when I tried to push busybox via adb. I just downloaded a busybox .zip and flashed it via TWRP, it seems to have worked, and the busybox app recognizes it as installed.

I can't use adb push. It says Read Only file system when I try to push things to /sdcard. Don't know why

Make sure you have phone detected and correct drivers and adb installed.
Once ADB is functioning properly, then let's PUSH files!
First let's make sure adb is running and make sure adb see's the phone. Please run these commands:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
The output after devices will be a serial number, if this looks good, move on. First you need to make
sure the apk you want to push is in the same directory as adb.exe
once you have moved the apk to the adb.exe directory, then run the following:
Code:
[FONT=Verdana]adb remount
adb push myfile.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/myfile.apk
adb reboot[/FONT]
adb remount mounts the phone as read write so you can write thru adb, it will be automatically unmounted when phone disconnected or rebooted
assuming your APK you want moved is called "myfile.apk"
adb push file_myfile.apk /system/app/ this command moves the "myfile.apk" (the apk you want moved) to the /system/app/ directory on your phone
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/myfile.apk this command sets the correct file permissions for APKs
adb reboot this reboots the phone so that the new apk can be detected
Good luck

adb remount is Permission denied too.

sounds like you possibly do not have proper permission for the user you are logged into your computers operating system with. make sure you have the proper permissions and rights to access the folders you are trying to access. For a quick fix you can try loging into the system using the root user or administrator of the system that you are using and then try the adb commands. and you can just do a quick su switch from the Computer OS's konsole/terminal.
