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

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

[TUTORIAL] Updating to DI07, Obtaining Root, and Flashing Custom Recovery [FIX]

Scroll to the bottom for a fix to the newest clockwork recovery flasher...
UPDATING TO DI07
First things first, you must update to the latest firmware and kernel, but in order to do this you must un-root and return to the stock kernel in order to avoid problems.
Simply download the zip here, and run the run.bat inside, after extracting the folder to your desktop.
You must have debugging mode enabled for this to work.
Once that's finished you can update to DI07 using the stock recovery. You do this, like any other update, by renaming the zip (found here, to update.zip on throwing it onto the root of your sdcard.
Then, boot up into the stock recovery (power+camera+volume down) and press home to apply the update.zip.
The update will install and your phone will reboot into DI07.
First boot will take some time, so be patient.
Now onto the fun part, rooting your phone.
OBTAINING ROOT
Just as you obtained root before DI07, you obtain root on DI07, if you have the right tools. Download the one click root here, and once more extract the included folder to you desktop, make sure you have usb debugging enabled, and run the run.bat. Your phone will reboot, and you will have root.
FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY
Here is where it gets a tad bit more complicated. First off, you have to download the zip here, but this time before running the bat you have to open up command prompt and redirect it to your C:/android-sdk-windows/tools folder and then run the following code.
adb devices
adb shell
su
remount rw
exit
exit
Now the command prompt should close, and you can run the run.bat for build 31 of clockwork recovery flasher. Once more, your phone will reboot and after the script is done running and says "press any key to exit...." you can press enter and boot into recovery.
That's it, three simple steps to updating, obtaining root, and flashing clockwork recovery!
Also, don't forget to check out my ROM coming later today, as well as noobnl's Andromeda Galaxy ROM v1, just released.

great tutorial...and i can use these instructions even if i am using aridons v4 rom and heros overclocked kernel?

Well, it basically reverts you back to the stock kernal, so you will for sure lose the overclocked kernal. However, I'm not sure about the ROM. Your best bet would be either to hold off on this as the ROM you are suing isn't based on DI07, or flash to stock and then follow this guide. Your choice.

Well I just ran this and at first glance, it got me right into clockwork. I selected one of my nandroid and restored it. After the phone finished restoring and everything, I wanted to make sure that I still had clockwork but instead it was stock recovery once more.
Since I still had root, I redid the steps starting with entering the commands, then I re-ran the bat file for clockwork. I checked and clockwork is back...unknown as to how long though.

Thank you!!! the remount rw was what I needed to get the clockwork custom recovery to flash!!!
I have another question for you? Is it possible to install the custom recovery without having root? I suspect not? The reason I ask is that I would like to have a nandroid backup of the completely stock rom although I guess I could use the one noobnl has posted

well, i got back to a stock rom....applied the stock kernal...but when i went to apply the update.zip...it took me back to clockwork...not the stock recovery....so i tried to apply the update from there but it aborted...how do i get rid of clockwork so i can go into stock recovery and will that fix it?

Three options I can think of- if you use adb reboot recovery I believe it will load the stock recovery- the other option is to use odin to go back to complete stock. Finally you could use the option for clockwork in this thread look for the link under "B]Update.zip (for clockwork recovery and includes all the listed apps below)"
EDIT: I can confirm that "adb reboot recovery" loads the stock recovery when you have clockwork

Im having a little issue with this. Im running windows 7. Can I do this in windows 7? Also when it says redirect it to your C:/Android---- do I have to change the drive to ex. cd c:/ first or do i just type in the command prompt C:/android-sdk-windows/tools and hit enter and follow the rest of the commands? Sorry extreme noob here..
Thank you for any help!!

I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, how can I get into the stock recovery to apply this?

You need to use the DG27 uninstaller instead of the DI07 uninstaller to update to DI07.
The DI07 uninstaller is just to go back to stock DI07 kernel if you already updated
DG27 uninstaller: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/one.click.stock.&.root.uninstallerv1.0.1.zip

I think it needs to be pointed out that this alone won't work if you are like me and have removed apps from the phone. All those apps must be restored in addition to reverting to stock kernel before the OTA update can be applied. At least that's how I understand it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate step-by-step tutorials like this for noobs like myself ... this made things a lot easier since some of the stuff (files, instructions, etc.) was all over the place.

would seem that way because I removed the alarmclock to start and when i try to run update.zip from sd it fails when checking current system @ /system/app/AlarmClock.odex
i tried rerooting and reinstalling alarm clock using the backup from titanium. says it is successful but i do not find it in my apps drawer. it still fails there too..

Titanium backup does not restore apps in /system. You have to restore those by hand.

Im officially struggling, undid the root then copy/paste the update to the sdcard, renamed it. It unzips but says its failed to open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory)...suggestions?
I know that in the step it said to copy it to the root on the sd but im am very green to this stuff, and didnt see a folder marked that, therefore I just copied it to the sd card

I can't get Clockwork to flash now. I walked through the steps...I did the remount crap and ran the bat and it rebooted the phone but when i reboot into recovery it goes to the normal recovery screen. Now if I try to redo it it does not recognize the remount rw and i can't get anywhere with it and i'm stuck with no clockwork.

but this time before running the bat you have to open up command prompt and redirect it to your C:/android-sdk-windows/tools folder and then run the following code.
adb devices
adb shell
su
remount rw

This part is unnecessary because the recovery zip comes with adb built in

is there a manual way to push this to the phone? These one clicks never seem to work for me ever it's just easier to do it myself.

No you must do this in order to get clockwork.

Coby Kyros 7015 - Getting the Most Out of Eclair (Android 2.1)

This will be an often-updated guide to getting the most out of the Eclair (Android 2.1) that comes stock on the Kyros 2015.
Things we have working: Root, Market, Texting via Google Talk.
Things we have kinda working: Connecting to Ad-Hoc networks
Things that do not work/Issues: Contacts crashes if you try to edit.
Further Reading:
Most of the development for the Kyros 7015 has taken place in this thread.
Also check out my tutorial on installing CyanogenMod onto this same device.

Instructions
1. If you haven't already rooted, download the official update.zip from Coby. Reboot into recovery and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" to apply the update.
If you have already rooted, downloaded the modified update.zip, which works with clockwordmod. Reboot into recovery and make a backup. Once your back is complete, choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" to apply the update.
2: Rooting Your Tablet. Download z4root 1.3.0 APK and place on your sdcard. Open Settings, go to Applications and check the Unknown Sources box. Use File Manager to navigate to the z4root APK (it's in the /sdcard folder) and click to run. You should now have root access (you may need to reboot). You will also notice a new app, Superuser, has been installed.
3. Installing ClockworkMod. You must complete this step even if you already had ClockworkMod installed, as the update.zip has replaced it with the stock recovery. If you have not already, install Android SDKto your PC, so you will be able to issue ADB commands. Download ClockwordMod. Open the ZIP file and extract the IMG. For simplicity, rename the IMG file "recovery.img" and place on your SDcard. From ADB,issue the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
4: Enabling Google Apps, such as Market. Download gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip and place onto your SD card and reboot into recovery. Choose "Install Zip from SDcard" and install gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip. Reboot and accept the terms of the market!
5: Texting using Google Voice. Here is how to text with Google voice. You will need a working android phone (probably needs to be rooted) with Titanium Backup installed. Set up Google Voice on the phone-- make sure you opt for the Google phone number as that is the number you will be texting from. Once up and running, back up the program using Titanium. On the tablet, install Titanium Backup and use it to restore the Google Voice program (App+Data) to your tablet. (You may have to copy the backup files to the Titanium directory on the INTERNAL drive.) Once Google Voice Launches, switch back to Titanium Backup-- do not try to set up Google Voice. Titanium backup will then restore the data for Google Voice. You should now be able to text from your tablet.
6: Work-around for Connecting to Ad-Hoc Networks. If your Ad-Hoc network is an Android phone, download and install Wireless Tether to the phone (this version works well). Follow instructions in this thread to install work-around on your tablet.
This is all I have right now, more to follow. I hope I didn't forget anything!

First off, you what tablet are you using?
The gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip has vending.apk (the market) in it, if properly installed according to the steps provided, it should be working.
But since it is not, here is my suggestion.
1. Reboot into clockworkmod
2. Wipe Cache Partition -- Make sure you choose yes from the menu.
3. Choose Advanced and then Wipe Dalvik Cache -- Make sure you choose yes from the menu.
4. Choose "Install Zip from SDcard" and select gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip -- Make sure you choose yes from the menu.
5. Choose "Install Zip from SDcard" and select MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip -- Make sure you choose yes from the menu.
6. Reboot
You should now have market.

Thanks that seemed to do it. I have the Kyros Mid-7015. One thing though both times I install those zip files I lose root. And have to reroot. Thanks Again

Are you losing root or just losing clockworkmod? If this is the case, it is a known issue that the update (step one) overwrites clockworkmod on reboot, and that is why we have more than just the one line of code for installing clockworkmod.
From ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If clockworkmod is what you are having issues with, that should make it say put.

Using MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi with 2.1
I have already installed gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip to get Market. Can I upload MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip to my SDcard and use your ClockworkMod instruction: "Choose "Install Zip from SDcard" and select MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip" to get the new version of Market.
I was reading in original development thread for Kyros 7015 that their might be some problems with the new version of Market. Would the Update Market problems be true for 2.1 version of Android as well?
I am using Kyros 7015 with Coby's update, gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip installed, and various apps installed by AppsLib, side loading, and Market.

MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi only unlocks some previously restricted apps in the market. We do not have the new version of the market running on this device yet.
Also, I believe I misspoke in my directions to use that file in the market process, a result of me copying an pasting from my other guide. I will fix this immediately.

Since my Market is somewhat restricted, I could load MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi to my SDCard and install it from ClockworkMod to remove some of my restrictions.

Give it a shot (do a backup first), let me know how it turns out. However, I do believe that MarketUPdateFroyoHdpi only unlocked gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip to the same extent that gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip is already unlocked, so I doubt that it would do any good.

I backuped my tablet to the SDcard using ClockworkMod yesterday. No major changes made since then. I only used it to surf web and play music and videos.
In case something goes wrong. I have never recovered from a backup of the my tablet before. I assume that their is an option to recover from the backup folder created by ClockworkMod. I assume some data from my use would be lost, but nothing meaningful to me. Is that correct?
A couple more questions. Is the major difference between gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip and gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip that the later has Market unlocked and has addtional applications as well as applications that do not work on our Kyros 7015? Thus using gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip and MarketUPdateFroyoHdpi,zip would give a cleaner but more complicated install for 2.1.

You will need to install the Androik SDK on your computer-- extract the files to your desktop for simplicity. Then connect your tablet to your PC via USB cable. On your PC, open a command prompt window and enter the following commands:
Code:
cd desktop
cd tools
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

Good point, you can reboot into recovery but you likely can't make a backup without having clockworkmod installed.
Here is what we will do:
Hold down the Back Button (on the front) and then use the stylus to momentarily press the reset button (on the back). Keep holding the back button until you see the recovery screen. Don't worry about the backup, just install zip from card.

[Q] Having Trouble Installing Tiamat 1.3.2

I installed ClockworkMod Recovery and I get to the step where I mount the USB storage. On the computer, the storage space is only about 3 mbs. Not big enough to copy the zip file to it. Where I'm I going wrong here? I can't get to the next step which is install zip from sdcard because it comes up to small.

I couldn't figure out why usb storage didn't work right on my computer. I install Rom Manager and got 1.3.2 to install that way. A very nice program. Thanks to all.

Just make sure that you copy the files over from your sdcard to sdcard 2 so they can be seen on rom manager. I was trying to do a restore from rom mananger using a nandroid back up that i created and it wasnt there. Then i went into root explorer and moved the back ups to sdcard2 and waaala LOL.

Big Thanks to everyone in here
I am a total noob when it comes to the Xoom only got mine 2 days ago! But thanks to everyone here I am now enjoying an unlocked and rooted Xoom Kudos to all the devs who made it possible! Great work on the ClockworkMod Recovery by the way and all the instructions on how to do things! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more custom stuff.

i just did the one click root to my xoom and it had Tiamat version 1.1.6.
I got "Root my Xoom" from this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
-I used RootMyXoom w Unroot
So after looking around, I have to use a terminal emulator to bring my kernel up to date (V 1.3.2)
I have 2 questions,
1, I'm guessing i can not just flash the new kernel using Clockwork since my xoom doesn't recognize my SD card.
2, I've found the txt i need to enter into a terminal emulator (or so i think) but where do i save the new kernal to? the root of my internal memory? do i leave it zip'd? do i unzip it?
For 1.3.1 and prior. Depricated.
Code:
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:
Code:
adb shell
mkdir /data/media/sdcard2
exit

I have the Kernel zip saved on my 16gb sd card, i did it through my laptop and my xoom doesn't see it... (if that helps or tells you anything...)
any help would be awsome!!

anyone having trouble, there is a VERY good tutorial over at xoom forums.
I tried to post the link but i'm too new and the forums won't allow it...

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.
