I'm having some problems copying the files i need from /data/data.. I'm using an old version of SUFBS (tried android mate also, same results), as root explorer is a paid app
So, the thing is, I'm finding the files i need, but when i try to copy them nothing happens. No errors. The files just don't appear where i sent them
Please help

I use estrongs file manager with root explorer turned on in options.
Yes, I have tried that too before but it doesn't work on my phone. It only works on Cyanogen and hiapk ROMs
Any more ideas?

Try this from 'adb shell' or a terminal emulator on your phone.
su
cp -rf /data/data/dirtocopy /sdcard/diryouwantyourfiles/
I think you'll need busybox installed as android doesn't come with cp.
Done.
Had to give up and use Root Explorer lol
Thanks anyway mercianary

using adb for installing stock apps

sorry if this has been asked a lot, i have tried searching and need some help.
I flashed the latest Axura, and hate the music app installed in it. So i found the stock samsung music player, and tried to install it in the /system/app folder via Astro file manager, but i can't paste or cut anything that's not in the sd card.
so i tried adb. i couldn't push anything to the system/app folder as my permission was denied, so i copied the apk to the sd card, then i went into adb shell and used su to copy the file into the /system/app folder. that worked, but when i did that i lost the music player icon totally.
if i go to my music files on the sd card they will play individually, so the player must be installed, i just have to icon to boot into the player.
any help would be appreciated!
Anything?!

copy to your sdcard
adb shell
su
(accept the prompt on your screen)
cd /sdcard/whereveryoustuckfile
cp blahblahblah.apk /system/app/
I did that, and the music player apj is in the folder now, but its not in my application drawer. I have tried to install it from there but it fails everytime as well. I can always reflash the axura rom but I would like the stock player back!

sounds like you dont have proper permissions on it
do you have root explorer?
I had to remount the system/app folder to allow write.

I don't have root explorer, I have astro file manager, but thsts it.
Also I tried remounting the system/app folder to read/write but it wouldn't let me in adb.

how to install an apk that has "com.appname" as file name?

I've tried to install a few apps like the google app that is named "com.googlemusicbeta.apk" and I've noticed that everytime I try and load an app that starts with com.name, I can't install it; I get an error.
Is there something I don't know about this?
They need to be installed as system apps. The do this using either adb or terminal emulator and push the files to system/app.

Can you run the app from your file explorer? Is it in your app drawer?

Factory reset?... Titanium backup?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
No I am unable to run the app from the file explorer and I didn't do a back up on titanium backup before doing this. I was hoping I won't have to reinstall the ROM.
Install app installer from market. Put the camera apk on you SD card. Run app installer and find camera.apk and install it. See if that works.

You may need to fix the permissions on it, too.

just redownload the rom.zip. open the zip file. go to system/app. copy the camera.apk out of it. push that (do not install) to the rom you have flashed now. and you are fine

How to Flash zipped file without custom recovery?

Hi there!
I have U30GT tablet which unfortunely till now didn't have any custom recovery. Some time I want to flash files to the ROM but due to this limitation I need to copy the files manually (easy job) and set the permission (hard job when there's a lot of files).
So is there any other ways that I can automated the task of copying the files and setting the correct permission without using custom recovery?
Many thanks!
Have you tried using a script or bat file to copy and set permissions through adb from your desktop?

Thanks. But I don't know how to do a script or bat file to be used with adb. Can you write up some guide for it?
I'll see what I can do. No garruntees. But another option is to push the files through adb then use v6 supercharger to fix emissions. Idk. Let me see if I can Whip something up for you.

package can be flashed through stock recovery but they are needed to be signed properly with the manufacturer's key

Thanks but I wanna copy files for some tweaks only.
Well I found 1 solution, that is to manually copy the files than use ROM Manager app to fix permission. Also found thread here in XDA about using .bat file to automated the push and set permission but as I very lacking in knowledge in using command, I'll stick to Root Explorer + ROM Manager combo.
you can root device,cat stock recovery.img,and then compile cwm recovery.
Check this website someone is working on getting CLOCKWORK recovery on U30GT
