Hi there!
I have U30GT tablet which unfortunely till now didn't have any custom recovery. Some time I want to flash files to the ROM but due to this limitation I need to copy the files manually (easy job) and set the permission (hard job when there's a lot of files).
So is there any other ways that I can automated the task of copying the files and setting the correct permission without using custom recovery?
Many thanks!
Have you tried using a script or bat file to copy and set permissions through adb from your desktop?

Thanks. But I don't know how to do a script or bat file to be used with adb. Can you write up some guide for it?
I'll see what I can do. No garruntees. But another option is to push the files through adb then use v6 supercharger to fix emissions. Idk. Let me see if I can Whip something up for you.

package can be flashed through stock recovery but they are needed to be signed properly with the manufacturer's key

Thanks but I wanna copy files for some tweaks only.
Well I found 1 solution, that is to manually copy the files than use ROM Manager app to fix permission. Also found thread here in XDA about using .bat file to automated the push and set permission but as I very lacking in knowledge in using command, I'll stick to Root Explorer + ROM Manager combo.
you can root device,cat stock recovery.img,and then compile cwm recovery.
Check this website someone is working on getting CLOCKWORK recovery on U30GT

There is a .sh file that needs to be removed, totally forgot the location of it :/
/etc/install-recovery.sh needs to be deleted or renamed.
It's a "safety" feature in 3.3.1 and above to restore the stock recovery if it doesn't pass a check on boot each time.
This is pointed out in numerous threads...search a little for more details if you need them.
Ok thanks

Are you mounting the /system partition as read/write?
Use root explorer or similar or issue the remount command from the command line before trying to rename it.
that's the trick just rename the image, and the CW recovery will stick
that's the way it's written in the step by step guide,

I am having problems renaming it as well. I'm not sure what you mean by "use root explorer or similar or issue the remount command from the command line before trying to rename it.
I have tried using Astro and Android Mate to rename the file and both will not let me.
EDIT: Nevermind, I used root explorer and was able to find "mount r/w" and rename it finally. Thanks.

Because those won't allow you to modify system files. Get Root Explorer, like he said, and use that.

Cause u probably used ADB to get it to stop reflashing the stock recovery. Using root explorer is the same thing only less technical.

True, I used adb, spent like 2 hour trying to get the pc drivers to recognize the nexus. I used the PDAnet drivers eventually.

Are you on a custom ROM like CM or Bionix? They remove the script that rewrites stock recovery.
If you're on stock, what version of it are you on? 2.3.1 and higher have a file called /etc/install-recovery.sh on them, and if that's there it should be reflashing stock on every boot, whether you renamed the image you flashed to recovery or not...
Hi guys and gal's check me out I'm trying to flash cwm final and it keeps aborting the process!

Are you doing this on Froyo or GB? This only works on Froyo. Maybe try re-downloading the recovery & zip file to insure you didn't get bad downloads.
I'm on froyo and I downloaded from my phones browser if that makes a difference, and thanks for the help boss

It shouldn't make a difference how you downloaded the zip as long as you followed the instructions on the thread. Make sure you don't try to extract the zip file. try re-downloading them & try again.
are you changing the permissions of the directory from read only (R/O) to read/write (R/W) in root explorer before you try pasting the files?
Yup I used root explorer to push the files and it prompted me to switch to r/w when I tried to push the recovery. I'll try the process from the beginning and report back

Thanks for the link. After attempting to get fileshare to cooperate it dawned on me that it was a zip file. I am unrooted, therefore no CWM. can i still install a zip file without CWM on the phone or just unzip on a pc and copy the apk over?

Flash CWM and boot into it. When you are done flashing reboot and the stock software well automatically delete CWM.

Maybe I got the right files this time .
I know this may sound stupid...but...How and where can i find the system files...?...im in my file explorer and don't see them...im used to windows...new to android...thanks in advance...

The file explorer that came with the phone only lists the contents of the sdcard. You'd have to get a better file explorer from the market. Root Explorer is one I hear about a lot.
Another way is to download the Android Software Development Kit (SDK), install it, run it, download the platform tools within it, and then use the Android Debug Bridge (adb). adb gives you the ability to do a lot of things, one of which is to open a shell (adb shell) which then allows you to see all of the files on the root (/) of the file system.
I use ES file explorer to view system files. It has a root option plus it's free. other than cost, I don't know how it differs from root explorer.

Before you do any of that you have to have root

Hi
If you're a noob I advise you to first read rhe SGS 4G bible and use a rooted custom ROM, experience it and some of the tweaks and tools and only then ask yourself why do you need to deal with system files, once you're there i recommend thd root explorer.

Use ROOT EXPLORER but don't delete anything from system, just move it to SD to make sure you can work without it first.

A word of advice: NEVER delete system applications, instead just freeze them. You never know when you may need them or want them back, and if you delete something (case in point here) that you want back, then you're asking for possible unwanted issues...

Try doing "adb install com.motorola.PerformanceManager.apk" or copy it to SD card and then use some file manager.

He should have no problem downloading the file and placing on root of the /sdcard and install like any other .apk (unless he's deleted his file manager also!).

Set the right permissions otherwise even after placing app into system it will not work.

For reference, my Performance Manager's location is /system/app/PerformanceManager.apk and the permissions are rw-r--r-- which is chmod 644

Easiest way is to download the file to your computer, then connect your phone in usb mass storage mode to your computer, copy the .apk file you downloaded to your sdcard (which might show up as D: or E: in your PC), disconnect phone from computer, on phone use the "Files" file manager, go to "sd card", locate the .apk and tap on it to install. (Unknown sources should be ticked in your Settings > Applications)
Delete previous performance Manager that you have copied to system/app folder
Extract the attachment then copy both files to system/app without renaming or modifying them
Now to set the permission press and hold both files one after other for 3 seconds a window will appear in that select permission .
Now set permission as I have attached a Image.
People please help me I copied the apk and odex file and I have set the permissions but its not helping

For future reference just copying files to system/app never works. You ALWAYS have to push them with adb. Do you have adb set up on your computer?
If you must use root explorer, you need to copy the files first to the /system folder, and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.. Then "multi-select" both files and "MOVE" (do not copy) them to the /system/app folder, then reboot immediately. If you can go into recovery mode (with bootstrap or cwm on boot feature), then wipe dalvik and cache partition - if not, it may act up.. and it may not.. I have done this countless times with no issues (unless I was sloppy and forgot to rename or change permissions).
It's not the best method - farshad525hou is right, adb is cleaner.. but it can/does work

Yea, I know some folks are opposed to it and/or can't get it to work properly, but I've doing it for quite some time and never ran into a problem - unless I don't do something right. But, come to think of it, I am usually overwriting old files when pushing with root explorer, not placing new ones - I wonder if that may have something to do with it..?
But, I am all for adb - it's an excellent tool that everyone who wants to mod needs to get familiar with.
I suppose we are getting off topic, but this would make a good discussion thread somewhere...
EDIT: just checked, I guess I'm not alone after all!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 - the key steps are to set permissions (which can't be done on the sdcard) and MOVE to /system/app (or where ever)

Just do adb install xx.xx.xx.apk there is no need to remount (or odex file). What is the error message do you get when you tried adb install? If it says already installed, then go to settings -> applications -> all and uninstall the same, and try adb install again.
