I know you had to push a reboot file to get it working on some Hero ROMs. What about the EVO version?
The Hero way works.
FIRST, install Quickboot from the market. Run it and enable it in the superuser permissions screen.
Download the reboot.txt file I attached and rename it to "reboot" (take off the ".txt"). Move it to where ever your "android-sdk-windows/tools" folder is.
Connect your phone to your computer (make sure it is "charge only") and boot into recovery...
Code:
adb shell
reboot recovery
Start your "Windows-recovery.bat" (if using windows) and let it do it's thing in the CMD prompt. Keep that prompt open.
In a CMD prompt OTHER THAN the one opened by recovery.bat type...
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit
This will keep your system mounted but get you out of shell. Now type...
Code:
adb push reboot /system/bin
adb shell
cd /system/bin/
chmod 755 reboot
reboot
Once you're back up, run Quickboot and choose either reboot or recovery (both will now work). It takes about 5 seconds to start rebooting but it does work.
What does this do? does it make recovery stick?

No, this just lets you use the QuickBoot app from the Market to reboot your phone.

See if the reboot file actually got pushed to the directory. If so, try this:
Code:
chmod 755 /system/bin/reboot
The only other thing I can think of is that I installed Quickboot BEFORE doing all of this. Did you get the SU permission screen when you tried to run it?
Any luck??
Did I mention that the Quickboot "recovery" button works also? Much easier than opening a shell and typing it in.
Of course you still have to run the recovery.bat to get the custom recovery but at least it's one less step.
Still no dice. I also already had QuickBoot installed and granted it root permission prior to pushing the reboot file.
any update to this?
thanks

I updated my earlier post to give more instructions for getting into recovery and pushing the "reboot" file. I hope it helps!
I have a ROM ready to go that changes a couple icons and quickboot works with no probelm. Wifi tether is the only thing I don't have working. I can post it if you would like. I also removed sprint apps and some widgets
I made an update zip that got Quickboot working for me. This is using watzone69's reboot file.

ok guys im trying to help my friend use adb to push an app that he has on his SDcard to /system/app with the same permissions. i did it with root explorer, but he didnt wanna buy it (i tried to convince him, to no avail)
ok so im not that good at adb but i know some things, i need to mount the system as read-write, then adb push app to system/app and use chmod (644? i believe) to give it system permissions. im just missing the technical lines of code to get it to work. anyone wanna help a fella out?? line by line would be greatly appreciated

Make sure your phone is recognized by running "adb devices", then do the following:
1. adb remount
2. adb shell cp /sdcard/yourapkname.apk /system/app
Your done. I've never had to chmod something to make it work.

Doesn't matter.. Reboot the device and it will be read-only again.
I hold no responsibility to how you use or not use this info and if you brick phone - you do this at your own risk
There is a couple away you can go about gaining root access with this phone I have tested all 3 ways but only had success with 2 of them.
a) You can download 'z4root' from the Android Market (If is still available) or search XDA forums for it.
b) Search the XDA forums for 'SuperOneClick' which requires mono to work on Linux. I have read people that have had success with 'SuperOneClick' but that was not the case for me.
c) My preferred method:
Prerequisite:
knowledge of Linux and Terminal
knowledge of ADB (guide available in forums)
I did all this using Debian (testing) 64bit, Android SDK.
Creating correct permissions to access the phone via USB:
i) create
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
ii) in the file put
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
iii) then
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
iv) restart udev or reboot
Downloading and/or Installing required software:
1) Downloading and installing the android-sdk from: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2) Downloading and extracting 'SuperOneClick' (you will only need these 5 files: rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk)
3) Copy rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk into the platform-tools directory of android-sdk. Put phone in debug mode.
4) From a terminal (command line) change to the android/platform-tools directory and carefully do these steps.
Check to see if adb can see your phone properly:
Code:
./adb devices
You should see the serial number of you device, if you see bunch of '?' you have done something wrong.
Now for the fun part rooting the phone: <= no phun intended hehe
Code:
./adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
Code:
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage
Code:
./rageagainstthecage
5) Now wait until you get kicked out from adb before you do the following:
Code:
./adb shell
If everything worked now you should see a "#" instead of the "$" you saw previously in the adb shell which means you shouldn't get "permission denied" in the following steps:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mdtblock4 /system
Code:
exit
Code:
./adb push su /system/bin/su
Code:
./adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
Code:
./adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
Code:
./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /system/bin
Code:
chmod 4755 su
Code:
chmod 4755 busybox
Code:
chmod 4755 sqlite3
Code:
./adb reboot
Now you should be able to use apps like 'Cache Cleaner NG', 'Root Explorer', 'SetCPU' etc that require root access to work correctly.
Enjoy
Guide reflash FW for those who did some damage:
* Download from here that you want to install the FW
* Copy the folder in the microSD DLOAD (with the file inside UPADATE.APP)
* From phone off, Volume + Hold down RED BUTTON UP and power button.
* start the firmware upgrade, take a few minutes and then restart the phone . is a bit slow, do not be afraid, let him work and then back on (like the first time)
Help to get into recovery mode:
* down the 'volume up 'and 'green button'and then switch the device
Guide to bootloader mode:
* switch off, press and hold power button + volume down + red key

Because I have tried 100 things downloaded all that junk wasted 5 hours.
And I do not know how to run the z4root on my phone.
I do not want to install another ROM.
I do not know why you can not run z4root and a file manager from the SD card I have tried methods with the SDK they are total rubbish.
Once again *without* using the market place.

Hi thanks downloaded it fine its on the phone but this doesn't tell me how to remove apps.
I have been able to install but not remove adb always says failure.
Thanks man,
Just worked perfectly on my IDEOS brought from 2degrees in NZ.
The copy of SuperOneClick that I downloaded contained a file called su-v2 instead of su. In order to get the hack to work I had to rename su-v2 to su before running ./rageagainstthecage . Pretty obvious, but it might help someone out.

Look at the default.prop file on the root of your device. I bet that there's a line that says: "ro.secure=1".
For whatever reason, the maker of your ROM set ro.secure to be on, which limits a lot of what you can do via adb. No pushing to /system, no remounting in rw mode. This is part of the boot.img file in the ROM, and is set with every reboot. Ask the maker of the ROM to set ro.secure to 0.
I had this problem with EaglesBlood Froyo until I *****ed enough that the dev changed it on the next release.
Try typing in adb remount then adb push your files.

Ah, he says in the first post that he tries that but gets an error.

Not build.prop, but *default.prop*, should only be a few lines long, in the root of your phone's filesystem:
adb shell
ls
you should see the file. Mine looks like (minus the -----):
----------------------------------
#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES

ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1

Well crap, scratch that idea. But the behavior you describe is exactly what happened when ro.secure=1 was set in EB Froyo, so it must be something...similar?
Problem with ROM!
Sorry for the late reply, but this seems close to the answer.You must be using a custom ROM not Stock GingerBread ,right? Well, some initialisation script(files like init.rc) are responsible for setting the state of adb daemon at boot time. There scripts normally check files like build.prop, default.prop,local.prop, environment variables and stuff like that and accordingly setup many features like heapsize, display mode, adb secure or insecure,etc. There should be something different with your ROM's initialization scripts.
Oh, and i forgot! You can't change default.prop like that. Every time you reboot, default.prop'll be reloaded from boot partition image, effectively undoing any changes you made. Flashing a better boot.img may solve the problem.
Hi,
I was having trouble with my app YouTubeTablet.apk, it stopped working while I was using it. thinking I was starting to get the hang of this OS, I found the apk in system/app/ and, thinking I could just reinstall it, I deleted it. It wont let me reinstall it. it trys to install, then just gives an error saying "app did not install"
I have been reading and searching all night, I have tried the chmod 644 and a few other things but nothing I have done has seemed to work to get this reinstalled.
Does anyone know a way to get this app back?
thanks,
John
Hello I'm not 100% certain as I'm also pretty new to this scene, but couldn't you just copy the apk back to /system/app ?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Use a root explorer and copy the new app to /system/app. Restart and it should work.
I use ES File Explorer, but you have to check mount as read/write in the settings before you copy to system/
Install in /system/app and make sure your permissions are correct. Read: User, Group and Others checked and Write: User checked. Reboot
BTW Youtube crashed last night for everyone. Was a thread about it.
Thanks for the reply's,
I have tried most of this stuff, I tried the rest (changing the permissions) and it still doesn't show up in apps or install
not sure what else to try??
John
Try pushing it via adb then fixing permissions.

2. adb devices (none show) If I boot normally the devices do show

so I tried to do adb remount with the TF booted normally it says not permitted, if I try in apx mode it says no device
I dont know, I am lost, I hope this is all my fault, it has to be, I am reading and reading, nothing I find, or stuff people tell me to try works. I am really starting to wonder about this OS

It's ADB, you do NOT put it in APX mode. Just turn USB Debugging on.

it did push the files but still doesnt show up as an app
The may seems simple and don't get mad at me for saying this, but did you reboot after you pushed it to /system /app? It should show up then. At least that is the way I push them and usually when it doesn't work, it is because I forgot that part.
