Installing apk from sdcard in recovery console

I have no market on my phone and have been trying to install some apk's through amon ra console in recovery. Everything I try, which is practically everything i've read from searching, comes back with errors.
Either file/directory not found or can't open "install"
I am also having problems installing the drivers to get adb working from dangerspl. When I try to update drivers it says "This file does not contain information about your device"
Any help is much appreciated. I've been up all night trying to figure it out and feel like I'm going in circles.

Have you try installing from a file manager instead? (astro, estrongs, linda, etc..)

No I don't currently have a file browser installed, and have no market to look up/install one. I have another android phone with astro, could I pull it off of that phone and install on this with recovery console?

Why not just install it via adb or push it to /system/app

I can't connect via adb becuase I couldn't update the windows driver for dangerspl. I downloaded the drivers for dangerspl but when I tried to update, it said it didn't have information about my device. Something like that. So I can mount the sdcard in windows and put any files needed and boot into recovery and use that right? I tried making a zip with the qpks in it and use flash from zip, kinda like installing gapps, but that didnt work either. Any ideas?

Zip files will need the update scripts and signed for it to be able to be "flashed" from recovery.

Just use droidexplorer or android commander.

Code:
mount -a
or type less and read more

You can use busybox if you have the latest CM ROM installed
just type this ~~~> (busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app)
make sure the app is in the root of your sdcard

cp /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app
is less typing
and
Code:

is a 'safer' bet as they didn't mention which rom

what about this one? update.zip creator

There is a TUT for it

you need a filemanager with root-rights. Depending on the ROM you use it might be available.
Try the app "IRSSI - connect bot". It gives you a console on the device.
login "local" and type "su".
Than you have superuser rights .... anything on commands you find in linux/android TUTs

[Q]How to install Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on M701 (Apad)?

Hi all!
I finally managed to ROOT an aPad M701 using z4Root.apk
Now I want to make an image of my entire ROM tablet, I've heard that under the ROM manager app is a tool called "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" that has to be installed in order to make a full ROM backup.
The problem is that everytime I try to install it a screen pops out telling me to choose from the list my model of phone (I'm on an aPad tablet), since I'm not on a phone, I'm unable to continue with the process!
Any method or workaround for installing Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on Haipads/aPads M701?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Custom Recovery Image
On Team Telechips website there is a custom Clockwork recovery image toward the bottom of the page.
Use the .bat file they include in their ZIP file or push the .img file to /nand and flash. You will then be able to back up everything with the custom m701 clockwork application.
If the .bat file doesn't work for you, try opening it up as text and use the commands as a guide to push via adb.

Thanks a lot for the reply Clookeno but I dont know where to start with this, do you know any step by step guide I can use to achieve this?
Again thanks for the info.

I'm trying this and when using adb push to /nand I'm getting back "failed to copy 'recovery.m701.img' to '/nand/recovery.m701.img': Read-only file system"
I'm currently running Haipads 2.2 version and I was looking at testing out CM6 version, but can't seem to get the img file over.
And Ideas?

read only file
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

The /nand folder needs to be read-writeable....since you use z4root go into temporary root and the push the file into /nand folder

Locobox, there likely isn't a step-by-step guide for the procedure because it has a .bat file which is basically a executable file in windows that runs a set of commands in the DOS prompt for you. Basically you just double click the install_recovery.bat file and it puts the ADB commands in for you to push the recovery image to your tablet.
If you right click the .bat file and click edit you will see the following ADB commands:
adb push recovery.m701.img /nand/recovery.m701.img
adb shell sync
adb shell flash_image recovery /nand/recovery.m701.img
adb shell sync
adb shell reboot recovery
If you are familiar with ADB you can also copy the .img file to your sd card and flash it from there.
i recommend you have root access and the ADB utility.
Sorry it took so long to reply, work has been killing me lately....

poole699,
I have tried everything you can think of to put CM6 on the 2.2 Haipad firmware (which is really a modded 2.1) and had no luck. Either the system directories are all messed up or they locked the ability to edit it somehow. If you figure it out let me know because i have wanted to try it for a while.
I have a working team telechips 2.2 with market and correct orientation settings but it took ALOT of trial and error. If you go that route make sure you back-up your pointercal file because if you do not you will likely have to go back to an official release, save it, and try the telechips mod again...
Good luck

M701 Screen Flip
Hi guys, I've got a bit of a problem with my M701 tablet. I did a factory reset the other day and now the digitizer is inverted. The screen works fine but when I touch the top it senses the bottom & left = right.
This is a complete pain in the arse.
I plugged the unit into a keyboard via the usb port as a workaround until I could get into it to try to resolve the issue but I'm now stuck in a loop at the sign in to google bit. Every time I sign in it takes me back to the sign in page.
This is also a complete pain in the arse.
It doesn't have clockworkmod installed and so when I tried to install update.zip as per the above post, it comes up with 'E:Failed to verify whole-file signature' error message and aborts.
Again, a complete... you get the picture...
So, I'm slightly frustrated with it to say the least and was wondering if any of you intelligent types could either point me in a suitable direction that doesn't involve the bin. Or a window...
Many thanks in advance.

[Q] Issue installing Tiamat 1.4.0

Hi all,
Forgive the noobishness.
I rooted my device using the "One-Click" method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196. It appears to have flashed the 1.3.0 Tiamat kernel in the process.
I am trying to follow the instructions here to flash the latest 1.4.0 Tiamat kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
When I went to Mounts & Storage --> Mount USB Storage, I received a pop-up in Windows informing me that I had to format the drive before first use. I tried cancelling that to avoid it, but there was no way around it. I ended up formatting some 3MB drive (although I'm not sure where/what this is.)
I then proceed with the instructions "Drop kernel onto SD card". The problem is, the ZIP is larger than 3MB and won't fit onto the drive that shows up on my PC when I mount the storage as instructed.
Confused as to what I actually "formatted for first use", I actually put an SD Card in the Xoom's reader (even though I don't think it was working yet, which is part of why I want the new kernel), and repeated the 'mount' process. This didn't seem to help at all.
So - where did I go awry? Any advice on where to go from here and how to flash 1.4.0? Thanks in advance.

The easiest way to flash tiamat is to download kernal manager for the market and flash that way.

Had no clue such a thing existed. I had to also install Busybox but it seems to have done the trick. Thanks once again for your help!

no worries

I may have spoken too soon. It seems that the method didn't work properly. Kernel Manager says I installed the kernel, but when I go to Settings --> About Tablet, it still shows version 1.3.0 Tiamat kernel.
It also seems to have broken my Wifi Radio, which now says "Error" since the reboot.
Any ideas?

run it one more time. Make sure you hit the more info button to verify the version

How do I run it again? I had verified before that it was the 1.4.0 Kernel in the Info.
When I go back, all it says is "Install" but the button is greyed out.
When I installed BusyBox through the market, I unloaded it to /system/xbin.
Would this explain why WiFi isn't working?

The wifi isn't working because something wasn't pushed right. I would try to flash to 1.3.2 then back up to 1.4.0 if that doesn't work we'll have to manually push the wifi drivers.
Edit :
If you open busybox are you running 1.18.4?

Hey again -
I did as you suggested, flashed down to 1.3.2 then back up to 1.4.0 via Kernel Manager. I should note that each time I flashed, to whichever version, I had to activate the device for the 3G radio to work.
After doing this, Wifi still isn't working. In About Tablet, Kernel Version is showing up as "2.6.36.3Tiamat_Xoom-v1.3.0-g5019ece-dirty [email protected] #3".
I am going to have to call it a night but any/all info you can post, I will read in the AM. Thanks again for answering these questions.

Ok this is what i would try next. Go here and down load the 1.3.1 kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11798679&postcount=2 copy and paste these commands:
Code:
1. Reboot into the bootloader by running:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Flash the boot image to your boot partition, then boot back into Android by running:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
3. Push the bcm4329.ko, scsi_wait_scan.ko, and any other modules to your /system/lib/modules folder and reboot.
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
NOTE: Special Instructions for 1.3.1
You have to manually make a new directory called "sdcard2" inside "sdcard" prior to flashing. Either use your file explorer of choice or...
Code:
adb shell
mkdir /data/media/sdcard2
exit
CREDIT FOR Flashing Instructions Template goes to coolbho3000
This will enable your sdcard slot. Then you can download the zip 1.4.0 and put it onto you sdcard and flash through clock work recovery

I wonder what exactly you formatted? I don't think the actual SD card will pop up in windows explorer unless you run a script that enables it for USB.
Make sure the sdcard2 folder is in the root xoom folder in windows explorer (or the sd folder in the Xoom explorer), flash down to 1.31, push the five files then flash CWM. If done correctly CWM can mount the actual sd card on its own and you can install 1.40 there.

I reverted to 1.3.1 and the Wifi radio is now fixed. Thanks!
I created the sdcard2 folder, and now have to go scrounge up a microSD.
So, where ought I place the Tiamat_Xoom-v1.4.0.zip? I'm assuming it goes on the sdcard2 folder when I mount the USB storage via CWM? Or do I need to push it to /data/media/sdcard2 via ADB?
EDIT: all figured out now. Thanks to all for your help!
Please note: the 1.4.0 kernel through Kernel Manager is bunk! At least as of last night! Flashing through CWM did the trick, but I had to flash 1.3.1 first...

It might have to do with the fact that the sdcard was not yet functional on your xoom. I started flashing at 1.3.0 and flashed as BRD was releasing stable kernels. So by the time 1.4.0 was released i was all ready on 1.3.2 and Kernal manager worked great for me. But i am glad you were able to get everything working, and enjoy 1.4.0 BRD is doing some excellent work.

flashing kernels

i just bought a xoom today and i have obtained root. i am looking to use my microSD slot and update to 3.1 and over clock using tiamat 1.4.4. i am no even able to find out how im suppose to flash the 1.3 kernel so i can use the sd slot to update to 3.1. i copied th kernel to the xoom using a drag and drop in "my computer" and then use rom manager to flash it but it says "update aborted". i dont know what to do. i know how to use adb so i dont fear it but can someone help with this problem? maybe a walkthrough? thanks for your time.

hi
do you have clock recovery then reboot in to recovery then install zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard and there you go choose the zip file and you done....

TRY THAT
Install Instructions:
***Prior to flashing you must create a folder named sdcard2 inside of the existing sdcard folder.***
Download and unzip the file below. Make sure you place all 6 files in the path you are running commands from.
The following install instruction are to be executed in adb. The red text represent the command that needs to be entered.
adb reboot bootloader
Xoom will reboot into bootloader screen
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Xoom will then reboot into homescreen
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
Xoom will then reboot and if all went well, you can now overclock to 1504 via Droid Overclock or SetCPU.
Please note- After you have flashed the kernel you must insert the SD card and reboot for files to appear.

i did....that's why I'm trying to figure it out. Its saying the update is aborted. I don't have access to the SD slot because its disabled so I camt put it on the SD card.

where do i get the 6 files that i should be downloading for that walkthrough?

[ROOT] G2X Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock ROM with flashable zip in Clockworkmod Recovery

Update on 9/11/11: Thanks to phburks there is now a flashable zip to root the G2X stock rom. He figured out that the update-binary we were using was not compatible with the G2X. He found the compatible binary that allows us to create flashable zip files. Hats off to phburks. This is an unsigned zip and you should not be required to toggle signature verification. Of course the files required to root the phone (su and Superuser.apk) were created by Chainsdd.
There are two flashable zip packages. The first one roots the G2X. You simply flash it with Clockworkmod Recovery. The second zip unroots the phone for those who wish to unroot their device for whatever reason.
After rooting go to the Android Market and get the Busybox installer referenced below. Use that to install and keep Busybox updated.
Root Zip for G2X: http://www.mediafire.com/?92qpr525ztblh8w
Unroot Zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?2vr7cmgg7qcdn14
HOW TO ROOT
1. Install latest Clockworkmod Recovery using NVFlash, if you haven’t already done so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2. Download the root zip package referenced above.
3. Put the zip package on your internal or external sd card on your G2X. Do not unzip the package.
4. Turn off phone and boot into Clockworkmod Recovery by pressing volume down and power and hold until the fancy LG (second one) appears.
5. Select install zip from sd card. Select and flash the root zip package. Note: You navigate in Clockwordmod Recovery by using the volume keys up and down and commit the action by pressing the power button.
6. Reboot your phone. You are now rooted.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS OBSOLETE. IT IS LEFT FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES ONLY.
Original post made on 9/9/11:
I wanted to run the stock Gingerbread ROM and wanted to root it without flashing a new ROM. I was able to succesfully do it and the instructions are below. I was attempting to make an update.zip to do this but it kept getting a "status 0" error. The original superuser zip by ChainDD also gets this error. So I decided to try and root it using ADB commands while running Clockworkmod Recovery. Here is how I did it. If someone can help me get an update.zip that will install without error in Clockworkmod Recovery to make this easier for people to install it would be much appreciated.
1. Download my G2X root package that includes necessary ADB files (Android SDK install not required) and unzip the contents. The package contains the latest versions of “su” and “Superuser.apk”.
http://www.mediafire.com/?6rdrdfxvdoq9nkv <download link for my root G2X package>
2. Install latest Clockworkmod Recovery using NVFlash, if you haven’t already done so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
3. Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery by holding down volume down and power until fancy LG logo shows (about ten to fifteen seconds). This is not the first one displayed when the phone powers up. Wait for recovery to start. Just to be safe perform a backup of your device’s current state.
4. Using the recovery menu scroll down to “mounts and storage,” press the power button, scroll down to “mount system” and press the power button.
5. Now that your system is mounted plug your phone into your computer (let drivers install if you have not done before – requires LG USB driver package).
http://bit.ly/qyoAxY <shortened link for direct download from LG server>
6. Open a command prompt windows on your computer. In the command prompt window change to the directory to where you unzipped the G2X root package.
7. Issue the following ADB commands. Do not type the the text in the brackets <>. That is just information on what the command is doing.
adb kill-server
<make sure no conflict with another version of adb server running>
adb devices
<checks to see if phone is connected to adb>
adb push system /system
<make sure you type a space before “/system”>
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
<make sure you type a space before “/system/xbin/su ”>
8. System is now rooted. You can unplug the USB cable now.
9. Now in Clockworkmod Recovery choose “unmount system.”
10. Go back to the main menu and choose “reboot system now.”
11. If you want busybox (some root programs such as Titanium Backup require it) on your system go to the Android Market after rebooting your phone and search on “Busybox.” Download and run the Busybox installer by Stephen (Stericson). When you are prompted allow it to have superuser permissions.
http://bit.ly/qIAoXZ <link to Android Market page for Busybox>
12. You are now rooted with a working busybox installation.
13. It is a good idea to go back into recovery and make a backup of your newly rooted system before you start installing and running programs that obtain superuser permissions.

That's a Command Prompt windows on your computer. The easiest way is to open the desired folder in Windows Explorer and then click on the address bar. Highlight the entire location and copy it. Then in your command prompt windows type "cd" a space, right click and paste the copied location and hit return. You will now be in the correct folder in your command prompt windows.

Thank you for quick reply

Then in your command prompt windows type "cd" a space, right click and paste the copied location and hit return. You will now be in the correct folder in your command prompt windows.

@jboxer, I figured out the flashable zip. Just tested it on an unrooted 2.3.3 installation and it worked perfectly. I PM'd you a link to the zip. Please add it to your OP if you'd like. There's no need for me to create a separate thread.

Thanks to phburks for the good work in figuring out why our update zip packages were being rejected by Clockworkmod Recovery. We now have flashable zips to root the G2X (works on stock GB rom) and to unroot it. They are listed in the first post that I have edited.
