Hey guys,
Is there any ADB commands to view ike directories on your phone?
So a bit like dir in cmd, just to list all files and folders.
just to make pulling files easier etc.
If so could you list commands to make this possible and for folder navigation just incase its different from CMD, and ive got little Linux exp so im not sure of its commands for file navigation.
PS Searched for this and could find no solution.
Cheers!
EDIT:
Worked out how to do this, once connected to phone via ADB start up a shell..
adb shell
type su for superuser.
then ls to list the dirs
and cd to change
cant seem to go up levels though as it says i dont have a defined home directory but im sure this can be easily set up some way that i have not yet discovered how to do!!
Sorry if this if obvious but may come in useful to some people!!
Hello so im just making this post to inform some people who are scared to disable certain things that a lot more can be done with the disable feature then just alleviated bloatware.
So far I've disabled sense launcher and I'm currently only using launcher pro. I've also disabled everything with the word twitter in it lol.
One of my pet peeves is redundent data so I was able to disable htc sense's facebook and just download the facebook app which kicks its asssss anyway.
I've disabled the lock screen however it did not actually disable the lockscreen, no idea what that lockscreen.apk is doing but i still have it disabled.
Here is a list of my disabled packages.

moral of my story, you got a lot of room to play around with. My phone runs incredible fast now and the battery life has increased but I also just bought a 1900mAh battery and popped that in.
Let me know if anyone else can add to this list. I plan on disabling the SMS client and solely using a third party in the very near future. Any words about this? Thanks!
Noob question, how exactly do you disabled that? I see some other post saying they can disable it but never really get into how they go around doing it. I'm also new to android T_T.
I had trouble at first too.
first google this: setting up android SDK for windows
Then since they probably won't tell you this, at the step where they tell you to download google usb drivers, do it anyway (can't hurt) but immediately after that- download HTC sync, and install just to get all the drivers you need for your HTC phone onto windows. At that point you want to then close HTC sync from your running applications to avoid a server out of date error in command prompt (this will get a lot easier to understand once you have the sdk tutorial infront of your face)
Once sdk is all set up and you can access your device (you will try to run adb shell in command promp in windows and you will get a $) You can go to the dev section and look at the fre3vo post.
From here you can drop the fre3vo file into C:/ and the first command in command prompt will be
adb push C:/fre3vo /data/local/tmp
- the C:\fre3vo is where the file is located on your computer and the /data/local/tmp is where your moving it onto the android device.
Next command is
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo - to my understanding this is just changing permissions so you can run the file thru our terminal set up.
Last command just runs the binary and is adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
After that you should be able to run the fre3vo exploit and it will kick you back to your original command promp something like C:\users\your name
Now comes the easy part: at this point type in adb shell and you will get a # sign which means you achieved temp root. The following commands will help and should only be ran after you see the # symbol because these are commands for android on your phone, not the ADB program we used to just place the fre3vo file onto the phone.
pm list packages - this shows all packages installed
pm disable (package name) use the package name from the list above where the brackets are but exclude the brackets
pm enable (package name) will enable the package incase your phone starts to bug
pm list packages -d -this will show you which packages are disabled and yes keep the minus sign infront of the d.
PM me if you have trouble.
alright i'll try to do this right now =) thanks a lot! c how it goes~

Hey guys. I just got my HOX and have been trying to root it. The software update keeps popping up and I keep refusing, so no worries there. I've got 1.85 right now and have been attempting the methods found here and here, but they just aren't working. I'd prefer to use the manual method. Someone willing to help a guy get started with all this would be the greatest person ever, just saying!

Could you help me too X( ? I got my HOX last night at 8pm; I traded my rooted S2 Skyrocket for it.
Been looking for the past day through forums and google. It's so different from Samsung's phones, but a nice change indeed.
I'm on 1.85 and tried those two methods also. I'm not very familiar with ADB. From reading all night and this morning, I believe I root, unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash custom roms?

Thanks. I used this for ADB http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
I remember using it for my S2, but I don't quite understand the directions for the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296 method. Could you dumb it down for this HOX noob?

I'll try to help! all of the following is my interpretation of the rooting method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296
What you need:
HOX on ATT 1.85
su binary from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/don'tusemeimabadsubinary
EDIT: The su binary above has issues. Use this one instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9060692/su
Make sure HTC sync is NOT RUNNING (down in system tray)
Make sure phone is set to "charge only" and usb debugging is enabled!
Download correct su file (assuming you don't have a problem with this step )
Put su in same directory as ADB. Get to adb command prompt and cd into that directory
Quote from Butters619: cd means change directory. It is a windows command prompt command. So you would type "cd C:\adb" if that was where your adb folder was. Folder and directory can be used interchangeably, although directory is more "correct". We only say folder because GUIs use folders to represent directories.
NEW - pull sim card
NEW - do factory reset
NEW - when reset is complete, do not replace sim, do NOT connect to wifi. Go through setup, go to settings, enable USB debugging. When that's done:
Enter these commands in adb:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so
(If you get file doesn't exist after the FIRST command don't worry - they may not be there)
Now, on the phone, go to settings and check for software update. It will tell you you need to connect to network. Now, replace the SIM OR connect to wifi. Have it check for software update again. When it's done, do NOT click "yes" or "ok" on the phone. Simply:
Enter these commands in adb:
adb shell ls -l /data/local.prop
IF AND ONLY IF you get "file not exists" or anything like that then set your phone's date 2 days ahead and reboot the phone and start over. If you get file info, you're golden. Proceed...
Enter these commands into adb:
adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
Reboot via adb by entering this command: adb reboot
After phones reboots
Enter these commands in adb:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
You should be rooted.

Thanks. Yeah i've been trying it alld ay but it can't find where my SU is. it's in the same location as the ADB stuff i believe C:\android-sdk-windows. Seem like some of the senior members are willing to go through teamviewer to help the ones who can't do it. I'll try asking them :/
Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but please let me know if/how you get this to work just in case this happens to me when I get my one x.

Hello XDA,
I'm going to show you how I rooted my Hipstreet Flare and install Google Play (Working).
Before I start, I'd like to say I wanted to post this because there seems to be no one thread on the forums that shows how to accomplish this. Also to boot I'm running Windows 8 so it was an interesting challenge to get everything running.
About the device... like I saw out on the forums I'd like to say it's true the device comes to you pre-rooted (Sorta). I can't really explain it it's root but not anyways were going to fix that here.
Required prior to start:
ADB Drivers (Install WalkThough)
ADB Software (Search XDA)
SU-Busybox-Installer (Bottom Attached)
Google Play (Download Here)
List of things to do:
Install Windows ADB Drivers (Google ADB Drivers didn't/don't work.) I believe if you are runnign linux I think you can skip this and continue on...
Root the device using ADB with SU-Busybox-Installer
Download recent Google Play (3.10.14)
ADB Drivers
Install Samsung USB Drivers for Samsung i727 (Skyrocket ADB Drivers
Reboot (I had to when I first installed them long ago.)
Open Device Manager
Under "Other Devices" right click "Android"
Click "Update Driver"
Click Browse Computer, Click "Select from a List"/"Pick from a List"
Select the first on the list for "SAMSUNG Android ADB interface" under the "ADB Interface" category.
Install... any warning just say continue anyways.
Now use using adb run this command "adb devices" should be there. Make sure its working by the command "adb shell" you should get a "#" on the next line and if you type "ls" you should get a list of the root directory.
Thanks to iToasterman for this next part...
Extract SU-Busybox-Installer files to adb folder and run the following commands.
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chmod 664 /system/xbin/su
adb shell reboot
One reboot you are now rooted. Download Root explorer from the net and it will work. I used it to put google play in the system/app folder and it worked just fine but I'm going to show you how to do it with adb for simplicity.
Download google play from the link above.
Place file in adb folder, run the following command.
adb push com.android.vending-3.10.14.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 664 /system/app/com.android.vending-3.10.14.apk
adb shell reboot
Note: Because I upload the apk and moved it with root explorer I didn't run the chmod command and it still worked, shouldn't matter either way.
Just so you know if there is app you can't get download because of (capability issues) but the specs say it should work there are tweaks out there that can let you download still just search the XDA forums and you'll find it.
Thanks for this! A customer bought one of these, and it was a right ***** trying to install some (read most) specific apps from the worthless GetJar store which is included. had to root to shove in Play store
Rooted + Playstore installed but No apps is downloading from playstore
just stucks & says only downloading but downloading never starts
If the Samsung Skyrocket drivers aren't working for you the Moto G ones should work as well.
Hello Friends my previous question went totally unnoticed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/restore-downloading-stock-firmware-t2949283
But I hope you will help me this time Moto G xt1033
It is not ROOTED..
I have a couple of saved WiFi passwords in my phone. I forgot them and want to retrieve them now. I know /data folder can not be accessed on non-rooted phone. So I tried it by using adb. I have latest adb, fastboot and Motorola drivers. So let's start. Usb debugging is enabled and my phone is recognised when I use "adb devices" commands. Then I type "adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf" but it says it does not exist. I have been trying this for many days but I don't want to root my phone for some time. I browsed Internet and all sites say adb pull or adb push can be used successfully without root. Adb pull from /SDcard is always successful but not from /data folder. When I try to open /data/misc or data/misc/WiFi using adb commands it says permission denied. Adb push is also unsuccessful in /data folder. I made a fake wpa_supplicant.conf file in C:\wp folder and then I typed "adb push C:\wp\wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/WiFi (I also tried /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf) but it says permission denied. I also can't make these folders readable writable as it says permission denied. Later I also tried using terminal emulator on my phone but no gain. Please help me how can I make proper use of adb without rooting my phone. I don't type commands wrong as I have visited countless sites for many days. And sorry for my English mistakes, if any.
Thanks.

Hey mate, that folder is off limits unless you have root (to protect against malicious apps modifying stuff)

Yes /data folder and its subfolders are private by default and can be accessed only after root. But adb push and pull are possible in /data/misc/wifi/ xda-developers and all other major tech sites can not be wrong.
Ok then, i think there is no other method than rooting. It says wpa_supplicant.conf doesn't exist in /data/misc/wifi/
So it may be there in any other folder. Where to look other than /data/misc/wifi folder
