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
thanks!

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.

yes you could do that. For more help with the many adb commands you can always type adb with no parameters and it will give you a list.

Doesn't matter.. Reboot the device and it will be read-only again.
Hey guys. I just got my HOX and have been trying to root it. The software update keeps popping up and I keep refusing, so no worries there. I've got 1.85 right now and have been attempting the methods found here and here, but they just aren't working. I'd prefer to use the manual method. Someone willing to help a guy get started with all this would be the greatest person ever, just saying!

Could you help me too X( ? I got my HOX last night at 8pm; I traded my rooted S2 Skyrocket for it.
Been looking for the past day through forums and google. It's so different from Samsung's phones, but a nice change indeed.
I'm on 1.85 and tried those two methods also. I'm not very familiar with ADB. From reading all night and this morning, I believe I root, unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash custom roms?

Thanks. I used this for ADB http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
I remember using it for my S2, but I don't quite understand the directions for the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296 method. Could you dumb it down for this HOX noob?

I'll try to help! all of the following is my interpretation of the rooting method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296
What you need:
HOX on ATT 1.85
su binary from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/don'tusemeimabadsubinary
EDIT: The su binary above has issues. Use this one instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9060692/su
Make sure HTC sync is NOT RUNNING (down in system tray)
Make sure phone is set to "charge only" and usb debugging is enabled!
Download correct su file (assuming you don't have a problem with this step )
Put su in same directory as ADB. Get to adb command prompt and cd into that directory
Quote from Butters619: cd means change directory. It is a windows command prompt command. So you would type "cd C:\adb" if that was where your adb folder was. Folder and directory can be used interchangeably, although directory is more "correct". We only say folder because GUIs use folders to represent directories.
NEW - pull sim card
NEW - do factory reset
NEW - when reset is complete, do not replace sim, do NOT connect to wifi. Go through setup, go to settings, enable USB debugging. When that's done:
Enter these commands in adb:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so
(If you get file doesn't exist after the FIRST command don't worry - they may not be there)
Now, on the phone, go to settings and check for software update. It will tell you you need to connect to network. Now, replace the SIM OR connect to wifi. Have it check for software update again. When it's done, do NOT click "yes" or "ok" on the phone. Simply:
Enter these commands in adb:
adb shell ls -l /data/local.prop
IF AND ONLY IF you get "file not exists" or anything like that then set your phone's date 2 days ahead and reboot the phone and start over. If you get file info, you're golden. Proceed...
Enter these commands into adb:
adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
Reboot via adb by entering this command: adb reboot
After phones reboots
Enter these commands in adb:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
You should be rooted.

Thanks. Yeah i've been trying it alld ay but it can't find where my SU is. it's in the same location as the ADB stuff i believe C:\android-sdk-windows. Seem like some of the senior members are willing to go through teamviewer to help the ones who can't do it. I'll try asking them :/
Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but please let me know if/how you get this to work just in case this happens to me when I get my one x.

Fixed a bad upload of the su file, must of become corrupt sorry.
Silly permission bug again, but w/e. LG should know better, from what I am told this is a recently released device. This is a long standing known issue. Lg get your sh*t together.
Directions:
unzip su.zip into the current path (directory) you are in.
adb shell
(while in adb shell)
rm /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
exit
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell
(once in the adb shell again)
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
rm /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
exit
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Once rebooted install superuser from the market:

As usual thanks for all your work for this GREAT community!!! :good:
Thanks for letting me watch you work & getting root for my wife's phone.
Edit: DroidHost of Androidarea51.com has made a OneClick for this phone using Jcase's root. it also installs a recovery & Superuser all at the same time.

No problem.
You actually left out a step. In order to push su to the phone you have to adb remount -o rw. Otherwise it is a read-only filesystem and it cannot be pushed to the phone. Most people would probably get this, but the novices who end up with bricked phones will be angry.
Great work!

Actually no, you are incorrect.
adb remount without the additional parameters is correct, and not possible of bricking a phone with adb remount. No novice would be angry, because there is not possible brick from this guide, as long as it is followed.
I got the LG for my daughter (13 going on 30), and now it works fine. Thanks jcase.
Did not unlock my lgl35g
Yes I am a Noob... nobody likes me
I have exhausted every resource that I could find on this phone. I thought that this post was the answer to my problem, however it did not seem to help at all. Everything seemed as if it was working fine as I went step by step through the process. However, I rebooted my phone and there is no difference then when I started. The "su.zip" file enclosed in this post was not able to extract into the directory of my ADB client. It kept saying root already existed, but I was unable to see it in windows explorer? Is this "su.zip" a modified version of a pre-existing file in the SDK kit? I really need to unlock this phone so that I can clean up the junk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you push the su binary file or the whole folder? If you pushed the whole folder you will have to remove the directory & start over.

Anyone know of a rooted ROM
I have looked all over, but it doesn't look like a dev has created a ROM for this device. Has anyone come across one? If I knew programming I would give it a shot, but it's a mystery to me. I know that CyanogenMod 9 for the L3 (e400) works, but there is a problem with the radios, hence no cellular, wifi, or bluetooth.
Source code......

This guy had some success with CM9, but no radio. Anyone know how to extract the radio? I've never built a rom, but this is tempting.

We can backup unbrick img file via Terminal Emulator app or via adb command with the rooted tablet.
Here the command via adb command:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.bin bs=1048576 count=256
The command via Terminal Emulator app:
su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.bin bs=1048576 count=256'
Thank you.
Thank you to anyone that can help me out with the above.

Hi to everyone,
after two weeks I wrecked my Alcatel Tablet (Telekom Puls).
The Android system recovery 3e offers me among others:
apply update from ADB, sdcard or cache
Root and USB-Debugging are activated.
After starting >adb device< on my windows 7 (USB) I get a correct answer.
The copied file build.porp misses the file permissions I assume.
Any hints and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
If there is a permission issue, You may push your build.prop and give it correct permissions according to these commands.
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb reboot
-Vatsal
adb sideload
Thank you for your post, Vatsal.
Before I start the adb prompt on the pc the following message I get from the tablet:
Now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload <filename> ...
