Okay, so i trying to push a file to my SGS4G... I thought i got it to work but when i went to find the file it was just some random file with no extension.
e.g. I typed (adb push FFFFFF.FFF /sdcard/download) it says the file was copied but when i go to my phone ffffff.fff is not there, instead a file called /sdcard/download
I followed these instructions....
A:android-sdk-windows installed
B: (on your phone) go to menu>settings>applications>developement and make sure usb debugging is checked.
C: the file you are pushing must be placed in the tools folder of adb so if you are pushing file "build.prop.txt" this needs to be downloaded/copy and pasted in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
1: go to run and type cmd (or just open your command prompt)
2: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
3: adb remount
4: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*
5: adb push FFFFFFF.FFF /#####/###### *i hope my notes help here you need to put the file name in for the F(s) and in the pound signs you put the destination on the devices example adb push build.prop.txt /system/bin
6. repeat step 3 for multiple files
7. adb reboot this is how you finish
What am i missing?
i see you are trying to push a file to your download folder on the sd card...
you can just drag and drop for stuff like this.
true true, not sure why i didnt think of that, i do it all the time... But would i use those instructions if i wanted to move a file say a recovery file to the bin directory?
i have never seen the need to use adb for this phone. it is not a nand locked device, so there is no real use for it (im speaking for users, not devs). if you want to push a file, jsut use root explorer or similar. thats all you need.
also, it seems to me like you are trying to get krylons cwm. just flash bali instead. no need for the recovery file or update.zip.

am a newly rooted hero owner. read/re-read/followed the steps to do it on this forum and am grateful to those who lent their knowledge/expertise.
want to have the original hero lockscreen and downloaded this HtcLockScreen.apk file.
i searched online to see if i could find instructions to push this but can't seem to figure it out.
i've done the following:
- copied HtcLockScreen.apk to the root of my sd card.
- opened a command prompt
- got to "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>"
from here am i supposed to type:
- "adb shell"
- "su"
'cause i think to push this is the command, right:
- "push /sdcard/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/"?
help please!
thank you.
ok, put the file that you want to push in your tools directory of the sdk (c:\sdk\tools) these are the commands to push the file using adb
make sure you are in the command prompt and in your android sdk/tools directory.
you can copy/paste these one line at a time
i always do a
Code:
adb devices
first just to make sure adb sees your phone. if your phone shows up then continue
then mount system read/write
Code:
adb remount
then push the new lockscreen (this will overwrite the one that is there now)
Code:
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
then close the cmd prompt window
Code:
exit
or you can use the fresh kitchen for a nice gui that does all the dirty work for you.
then reboot and there ya go, new lockscreen (or whatever)
i've never used the shell to push files, but i assume those commands that you listed should work for that, but you have to remount the filesystem first.
I thought I saw on here a little while back that showed you how to remove just the image from the lockscreen so all you have is the grey bar. Does anyone know where that is because I thought that that was kinda cool.

I don't have the .apk for HTC Navigation, but when/if you do get it, just to to system/app and rename your current nav application (i.e. navigation.apk.old) if you don't want it to show up in your app list, but don't want to uninstall.

hmm, could you kindly explain what "pushing" is, and how to do it?
my android pushing and pulling files.
for those of you new to android and adb.
ok here is the real answer
pulled directly from android developer tools.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance
You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.
To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use
adb pull <remote> <local>To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use
adb push <local> <remote>In the commands, <local> and <remote> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).
Here's an example:
adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
How to push the file via your sd card
So for an example on pushing a file from a computer to phone make sure you are in recovery mode. And assuming you have the apk somewhere on your sd card. Open command prompt and navigate to your sdk-tools to use adb. THIS EXAMPLE IS STRAIGHT FROM FRESH THATS WHY I SAYS ..../FRESH-REMOVED-APKS/. That is just the location on your sd card so this is where you need to type where the file is. WHATEVERAPP.apk thats what the apk name is. Make sure that it is the same spelling and spacing/no spacing as well. notice the space after .apk as well. Now you are ready simply type the following commands (enter at the end of each line.) Last line is simply where your file is on your sdcard then the file name as it appears in the file on your sd card. Hope this helps!
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell mount /system
adb shell
cp /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks/WHATEVERAPP.apk /system/app
Not sure what happened during a ROM flashing, however, all in all, I can only boot my phone into Bootloader and recovery...nothing else, it says *error mounting /sdcard*So I can't restore or flash a previous backed up ROM. So I guess it would be called a soft brick. Any way of getting out of this? I tried to adb push, doesn't work. Tried the All in One kit, still nothing.
For anyone who can help me with my phone, I will compensate you for your time and knowledge.
If all else fails, I will just have to call and have the phone replaced.
Thanks in advance.
dont panic try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
I got as far as being able to mount my sdcard, now I can't push any files on to my phone?
put the rom in your adb folder, Use the command
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard
then in CWM it should appear
Check here for a full guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
cannot stat 'ROM.zip': No such file or directory
This is what it says when I try to push the ROM
and the rom is in the tools folder ?
you also naming it right ?
don't add the rom.zip after sdcard
i think that means you are pushing it to a rom.zip folder already on card--not 100% sure though

Could also be you're not typing the path to the file correctly.
Do this, on your PC navigate to the folder where you have the ROM.zip file (in your case the tools folder in androidsdk.
Hold down the SHIFT button while right clicking on the "tools" folder
A drop down menu will appear and chose "Open Command window here"
You should get a CMD window with the correct path.
Also for me it's always "platform-tools" folder that I put my file to be push in.
hey BBF nice to see still around--loving my 1s
sorry for off-topic guys

yes just push the folder containing those files (you can leave a space at the end of your push command and specify a particular location in your android device)
How can I edit some xml files? I want to try the Gpu 1gz but my system fails to save the file once I open it.
I am rooted by the way
I don't think anyone really understands your post, so you haven't received any responses. XML files are just text files so any editor should work. You would need to be sure that you have read / write access to the file.

Ok, to make it more clear. I am trying to edit a XML file ( Yes Text file ) onthe Product/ETC folder.
The thing is once I open the file with any text editor, or even root browser and try to save the changes I made it gives an error saving file. Tge same thing goes to the Build.prob
If I edit something on it and try and save the changes they won't stick. All the access are correct, read and write permissions are set. Don't know why I can't save the files.
try to edit it on your sd card!
1.) copy xml file to sd
2.) edit and save to sd card
3.) rename original file to . bak
4.) copy xml file from sd card to target folder
5.) compare right permission management flag!!! (rw-r-r /644!)
6.) reboot
(use totalcommander app or similar for it!)
btw: if this doesn’t work for you, you can try the "fastboot" mode (adb shell and connected phone to your pc for it! - push/pull)
this should work going this way:
* you need usb drivers and mini adb to be installed.
* you have to connect phone to pc (debugging must be allowed!)
* check connection with > adb devices in fastboot mode
* if connected, you should be able to copy xml file to pc -> adb pull <source-path>/xxx.xml <target-path>
* then edit and safe xml to pc folder
* then copy file to phone -> adb push <source-path>/xxx.xml <target-path>
maybe you have to remount target folder r/w with:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /targetfolder
at first to be able to copy.
* set file permission with -> adb shell su -c "chmod -R 644 /target folder/xxx.xml"
BTW: following this description at your own risk!!! Maybe it doesn’t work!!
I have no own experiences with Mate 9!!
