Samsung Vibrant uninstall (permission denied)

Hi All,
So I've rooted my phone and I'm trying to uninstall the silly bloatware apps.
in cmd
adb uninstall /system/app/Telenav.apk
Failure
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Telenav.apk
Permission Denied
...any clues as to why I am being denied access?
Thanks,
West
EDIT:
When I put in
adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production devices
is that normal?
Fixed. Busybox not installed.

[Q] Odd permissions issue with rooted optimus

How come this works:
Code:
[[email protected]:~/android-dev/optimus_m]$ adb shell su -c id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
But this:
Code:
[[email protected]:~/android-dev/optimus_m]$ adb shell su -c pm disable com.seven.Z7
Permission denied
Fails?
In the first example superuser prompts for permission and then allows the command, in the second it doesn't prompt and just instantly fails. There are no related saved settings in superuser.
If there isn't a way to fix this, is there another way to execute commands on the phone as root from a script on the host computer?
Nothing?
Looks like I'm on my own. :\

[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

Use this:
Code:
[path] > adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
# chmod 777 /sdcard
# exit
[path] > adb push [file path on your PC] /sdcard

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

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.

Permission denied [cat /proc/partitions]

Dear all,
The Redmi S2 is
- rooted;
- bootloader unlocked;
- oem unlocked;
- on PTP default (Photo transfer).
In ADB debugging,
C:\platform-tools>adb shell
ysl:/ $ cat /proc/partitions
cat: /proc/partitions: Permission denied
How to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Run cmd in Android shell's root mode
Code:
adb shell 'su -c "cat /proc/partitions"'

Thanks for the reply.
After "adb root", it prompts "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".
And installation of an app "adbd insecure" as below, it produced the same result.
[2014.11.10][ROOT] adbd Insecure v2.00
adbd Insecure lets you run adbd in root mode if your device is rooted. (Note that if you are running a custom kernel, it is likely that it already implements this functionality) If you are running a stock (made by the phone manufacturer) kernel...
forum.xda-developers.com
But "adb shell" apparently works.
On production builds the ADBD server on phone doesn't use root permission. You can't change this.
Simply try what suggested by me.

I just tried your code in CMD. It returns as follows:
C:\platform-tools>adb shell 'su -c "cat /proc/partitions"'
/system/bin/sh: su -c cat /proc/partitions: not found
That's a complete other issue.
Under "adb shell su", after granting the super privilege, AND then "cat /proc/partitions", I was able to view the partitions.
Thanks.
