I ran the bat file which I downloaded from here. When it runs it says can not find file nv_data.bin. Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
It is in the /efs folder. I am not familiar with the captivate, but do you have rw permission for that folder? Do you need root permission also? Do you have adb setup correctly? Have you tried to manually back it up with root explorer or any file explorer, then do whatever from the computer?

Hello guys,
I been trying in the little time I have to get rid of Fota file by using ADB but have not successfully been able to delete those files. I am not quite sure what is the process to do it but this is what I have been trying.
Open CMD
1- go to platform-tools folder on CMD
2- Type adb push c:\directory\fota_delta_dp1\ \data\fota\
3- repeat for second fota file.
It says that failed to copy c:\directory\file\ \data\fota\ since is read-only
How do I make it "writable" or what am I doing wrong,
I wanted to mention as well that my phone is rooted.
Find Root Explorer. Install it.
Change the file system to R/W.
Then, navigate to \data\fota and delete the files.

However you want to get root shell and do:
# cat /dev/null > /data/fota/fota_delta_dp1
# cat /dev/null > /data/fota/fota_delta_dp2
Well thank you for your advises. I ended up using "Super Manager" checked in setting "Use root function" went to the folder were i had the files alreadt unzipped and copy them over to /data/fota which replacea both of the fota files. Rebooted the phone and had 280mb of available storage.
When i get home i'll make a tutorial using Super Manager.

Is there something I need to do once rooted to be able to copy this over?
How are you doing it? If you're using say Root explorer you need to Mount Read/Write.
You can ADB push the file or you can simply put the bootanimation.zip in data/local
I just realized the file program I used wasnt asking for root access...I downloaded root explorer and it did ask for permission.
So I was able to get it done.
I am a new user, and just ROM'd my Motorola Milestone XT720 using the cinci Bell's 2.2 froyo update. The major problem that I am encountering is that market aps are not downloading files correctly. For example I try to add a podcast into my que using "google listen" and I get the following error:
"Error (/sdcard/com.google.andriod.apps.listen/downloads/f09cfbe (Permission Denied)"
Now I go into supermanger's filesystem, and I notice that /sdcard/ has no permissions at all. I try to add them, but nothing happens when I do. Itself, /sdcard/ is empty.
When I plug the phone into my PC, it can access the SDcard fine. In super manager however, it appears that the directory it is accessing is /mnt/sdcard.
It seems that programs assume that the SDcard is going to be located at /sdcard/ but it is really located at /mnt/sdcard. Is there any way to redirect them?
The normal mount location is /mnt/sdcard, /sdcard is just a symlink for convenience.
Apps should use the android api to determine the sdcard location
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html
You could readding a symlink from /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard.
Regarding you changing the permissions, do you have root? If not you won't be able to change the permissions or create a symlink.
Do I have root?
Thanks for replying Dark3n.
I think I have root access, but in supermanager explorer, the root directory reads "/(r/o)" - does that "(r/o)" mean read only?
That would make sense of my problem - since I cannot delete, rename, or change the permissions on /sdcard/.
However, I'm pretty sure I have root access. I never rooted my phone after applying the ROM. I just ran superoneclick again, and it said the phone was rooted. Supermanager explorer has superuser permissions. Am I missing something?
I have root
I just installed Root Checker by Joeykrim - it verified root access and a busybox installation.
yes r/o means read only
So what do I do about it? Is this a limitation of the file explorer I'm using or my permissions? I'm not sure how to gain more permissions than superuser.
It would be a huge help if you let me know what steps I need to take. Sorry for being a noob!
ive the same problem but it's with gscript folder.
So I downloaded ES File Explorer, then went into the settings. I turned on the root function, and then used the option below it that said something like "mount root to enable write." I clicked that. ES File Explorer didn't have a change permission feature, so I held down the home button and switched over to supermanager explorer. Now the root directory read "/(r/w)." I was then able to change the permissions for /sdcard/.
The podcasts from google listen at the NPR app I was using were still not downloading properly. I rebooted the phone. Strangely, the permissions that I had just set in the root directory, and the test directory I created in root, were both gone. I don't know how that happens.
I tried using BeyondPod, which works for downloading to /mnt/sdcard/. I wonder if that means Google Listen and the NPR app (DroidShogun) were coded to save to /Sdcard/ rather than prompting the API for a path.

Attached Google Talk files that worked for me (from TouchWiz 1.0.2 ROM). Put the lib file into /system/lib and the apk into /system/app. Change perms to 744.

I am trying to follow these instructions however I can not find the /system/lib and /system/app folders. The Google Talk stock app vanished when I flashed TCP's rom on the phone, so I am trying to reinstall it this way, since it is not on the market.
Where are these files usually located? Do I need to format my files differently or something?
/system/app
/system/lib
ANYTHING that is not /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard) or /ext-sd requires ROOT access and an app that will look at ROOT
ES File explorer or root explorer
you WILL NOT see these folders by just plugging into your computer, nor will you see it with basic file managers

Thanks for the help,
Ok i downloaded ASTRO file manager, but when i try to paste into the app folder it gives me an error message that I have a read only file system...
Make sure you have r/o where it says r/o or r/w. this way you can paste it.

I know I'm VERY! late with this answer, but I have to correct you. With zArchiver (file-explorer and zip/7-zip app) you can access androids system folders. On a S III mini I can copy the ringtones/notification-sounds or the start sound( on the micro-SD-card for example). It is possible to copy other files too, but that didn't make any sense for me. btw: phone is not rooted.
P.S. Also worked on a non-rooted Huawei Y 625 @ Android 4.4.2 . Of course I can not copy files INTO the system folder(s) but read-acces is definitely possible without root permissions.

Access to /data is forbidden in Android unless you have root access.
/system is read only, and limited.
My quote from above did say you wouldn't see any of these from a computer. And the OP was trying to place files in /system, which is read only.
Is there some reason you felt the need to bring up a 3 year old thread to say I'm wrong, when in this thread, regarding the original post, I am 100% correct?
Hello, newbie here, I have unlocked, rooted my droid 3 xt862. I have flashed the radio hack. I have one last issue that I can't figure out. How due I push the build file to the system file. I dont have root explorer just explorer from the android market. I clicked the file, hit copy, and tried to paste it in the system file. I wouldn't let me. I can't find the orginal file I flashed to my phone now, and if i could I wouldn't be able to figure it out.
1. do i need root explorer to accomplish this?
2. if not, where is the file on my phone?
3. How do I copy it to the system file so this phone will work with att mvno h2o wireless.
Please help!!! Im desperate. My email is [email protected] if you can help, or answer on this thread.
Thanks, Desperate Newbie
If you want to access the root of your phone use an file explorer like ES file explorer, be sure to enable root access in the menu, and you can then copy your file to the system folder
Good Luck!
