Hey all,
Just curious as to where a file needs to be if I want to push or flash to my Xoom via adb. Meaning if I have a recovery.img and want to flash it to my phone, where do I need to put the file before i flash? I'm guessing I'd put it in the tools folder of my sdk directory, but not positive. ADB is installed to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, so if I drop the img into tools, it will flash correct. I've done it before but put the file in a few different spots just to make sure
Yes the files need to be in the same location as fastboot.exe and adb.exe, so in your case that is C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
Ok cool, thanks. I kinda figured, but didn't really have anything to test it out on. Thanks again.
Or you write adb push and drag the file into your cmd window.
and pls remember: you posted in "development" this is NOT Q&A!!
Thread moved to Q&A since this is a [Q]uestion.
Thanks for moving, and my appologies. I considered my question to be development related as is was about adb, flashing custom recovery images, etc. I wasn't aware that you couldn't ask development questions in the dev section. Or at least start question threads like I did. I was gonna post in the xoom cwm recovery thread, but I figured my question was a bit broad for it. I figured development questions could go in the dev section. In any case, I got ya now. Thanks again. And thanks for answering.

i would like to take the stock ui off of my phone and i would like to know how to pull my system folder to my PC and create an update zip and sign it. bc i used nandroid backup but it says that i don''t have a sd card in my phone and skips the backup to my sd card. i have the htc hero and the 2.1 update
Is your phone rooted? Did you install Google sdk on your pc? If so go to your command prompt. And CD to the folder that you installed sdk and go to the tool folder.
Do adb romount then adb pull system system once the system folder is pulled create a update zip. Do a search here on xda and you will find the signing zip and instructions can't post it replying from my phone.
still need help

wow..ok i gave you the benefit of the doubt in the other thread..but you made 2 threads of the same thing in the wrong section of this forum. Thats a blatant disregard for the rules. if you needed things worked out that much you should have used the IRC chat.
I HAVE READ OVER ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS I CAN FIND ON THE TOPIC AND I KEEP GETTING CONFLICTING ANSWERS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ---you'll need to have nvflash setup properly and the NVidia boot-recovery driver installed. good instructions can be found here http://android.modaco.com/content/lg...-links-active/
download test2.img http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/c...h-recovery.tgz
place the recovery-star-test2.img in your nvflash folder.
download clockwork recovery test2-- http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/c...h-recovery.tgz . extract it.
in the extracted folder of cwm recovery test2, i took all the files except for test2.img and nvflash and put them in my nvflash folder.----
I BELIEVE I HAVE ALL THE CORRECT FILES I NEED AND I HAVE NVFLASH SET UP ON MY G2X. I NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAS TO BE WHERE WHEN I ENTER THE CODE IN COMMAND PROMPT. ABOVE IT SAYS TO PLACE THE TEST2.IMG FILE IN THE NVFLASH FOLDER BUT THEN RIGHT AFTER IS SAYS TO PUT EVERYTHING BUT THAT INTO THE FOLDER. I AM VERY CONFUSED. NEED HELP. THANKS

This is the third thread you've made on this subject. All the information given to you was accurate. Please don't make more people start from scratch helping you on the same issue ESPECIALLY when a completely guide was made in the development section.
Also, lay off the caps man

In one sentence you told me to put the test2 .img file into the nvflash file. Then right below it you tell me just the opposite!! You tell me to put all the files EXCEPT the test2 .img file.. If it was a little more clear and I could understand I wouldnt have to start three threads. Remember, we are all not at your level and even you were an noob once too. Finally, none of the threads I can find explain anything about where and what exactly from the test2.img do I use and where do I put them. Not to mention my other two threads are on setting up nvflash and not so much cwr.
I'm finally getting around to rooting my phone and running Cyanogenmod, but I've hit a little snag. Following the guide on the Cyanogenmod wiki, when I open up the command prompt and try to push the files (starting with fre3vo), it tells me either the file doesn't exist (which is simply not true), or the directory doesn't exist. Looking around my phone's files, I can't find the /data/local/tmp folder. Upon doing some internet research, apparently that directory isn't accessible unless the phone is rooted.
So... how am I supposed to root my phone using a method that requires copying files to a directory the access to which is prohibited without the phone being rooted? Am I just being a noob? Does it have something to do with HTC changing things around to make this impossible in one of their updates? Please help.
You placed the exploit files in the adb folder?
/data is where user data goes. It doesn't require root to push a file there.
Yeah, they're all in the /platform-tools folder. Looking at it with Astro on my phone, the /data folder is there but it doesn't contain anything (let alone the /local/tmp directory that is mentioned in the guide). I tried simply pushing the files to /data but it is still telling me there is no such directory.
Link me to the guide.
I'm not allowed to post links yet apparently, but if you go to the cyanogenmod website, look for the htc glacier and click on "wiki" it will take you to the guide. I'm on the "downgrading to 1.17.531.2" part.
Man I swear the guides cyanogenmod writes up are the hardest. Good luck!

Are you copy/pasting the commands? Typing them is asking for trouble.
I tried that but to no avail.
Reboot your phone and machine and try again. It could be an adb issue.
No luck
Have you tried a different guide? Maybe that one left out a crucial piece of info. I used this one.

Haha, wow. I forgot to do cd and switch to the platform-tools directory from which I am supposed to be running the commands.
/facepalm
Thanks for the help. While that wasn't mentioned in the guide I was using, it probably shouldn't have to be.
Phew!
hey there, have some questions regarding Step 2 Recovery from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
for some reason, it won't let me post as i have less than 10 posts.
so, going straight to the questions:
1) i downloaded SDK, now, do i have to install it? i actually installed it without knowing if i should or shouldn't and have no idea what to do with it.
2) was i supposed to extract the the Official CWM of koush? downloaded this one rather than Paul's interim but i didn't know what to do with it, so i just extracted into C:\fastboot
3) when he says "Place the CWM File where the fastboot.exe is (Downloaded with the SDK)" does he mean place the extracted bits with the installed SDK program into C:\fastboot? or does he mean leave the installer as is with the zip file as is in c:\fastboot? or a different combination altogether?
4) what is the name of the recovery in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img"? i looked around and they said do recovery recovery, but that didn't work for me (couldn't find file error).
5) i have s4, is it wiser to go with the interim or official?
please feel free to ask if any of these questions are a bit confusing; tried my best to ask what i'm confused about. thanks for reading, and i'll greatly appreciate any help!

Use this proccess http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 much easier and no need for sdk
Hey everyone,
I have been looking all over for the files needed to make my TF700 brick proof. I basically need the ebtblob.bin file for my device so I can flash it via fastboot. The main site that says to get it from their download section does not appear to actually have it (http://androidroot.mobi/download/). Does anyone have the files they can send me? Just to be clear I am not asking for anyone elses device specific backups, rather the file I need to flash via fastboot to create them in the first place.
Thanks!
