I have a question, when custom ROMs are available and we flash them to our Hero does that mean we will lose the Sprint apps that came with our phone? If so is there a way to back them up and restore them on the new ROM? I am most concerned about the GPS app.
Can you just
adb pull /system/app/Sprint_Navigator.apk C:\
and then install that apk?

That would definitely work but there is no reason the apps should not be included. It's all up to the rom dev. But that would definitely work. That's how the Dream developers got the Sprint apps on the Dream.

This is what got Cyanogen in trouble and the C&D order. He was including Google licensed apps into his ROM.
Chances are custom ROM devs will not have the apps included for the same reasons.

That is true, however Sprint has done no such thing yet. My theory is do until you get caught

Little help?
Ok, so i have a Mac and everything seems to be working ok but when i do this:
96-26-56-112:tools brynehobbs$ ./adb pull /system/app/Sprint_NFL.apk desktop
1185 KB/s (288423 bytes in 0.237s)
96-26-56-112:tools brynehobbs$
There is nothing new on my desktop. I'm not too sure what the 'local' path should be though...

Im not quite sure how the folder structure is for Mac OS but since it is unix this command will work:
Code:
./adb pull /system/app/Sprint_NFL.apk .
The dot basically says extract it right here. You can then look in the directory where adb is located and the file should be there.

Yeah man. I was pretty psyched to have these apps (which personally, I like) on my Dream. The only complaint is the fantasy option in the NFL apk doesnt work on the Dream but then again, it currently does not work on my Hero so I dont know what gives there.

One small correction, it's "/system/app" (no plural s).
adb pull /system/app <wherever>
So i emailed my friend the Sprint_NFL.apk trough Gmail but when he tried to open it on his G1 he got: "there was a problem parsing the package"
Do i have to root his G1 and use adb to 'push' the file to the G1 for it to work properly?

Well it should work. I just checked the dream forum and the mods were forced to remove the links so you cant get them from there anymore either. I dont think root is necessary but maybe it is. I would try adb or make sure he has install apps from unknown sources checked in settings->applications.

Yeah he has it checked, but he is across town so i cant quite adb it right this second. Next time i see him i'll see it i can get it going for him. Thanks for all your help!
Thanks for everyone's input I successfully backup up all my apps. Just in case. It was interesting to see the size of each app.
Just incase no one has stumbled upon it yet...

in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix

adb pull /system/build.prop
Then I edited the 2 lines on my PC with notepad++ and saved. Then I put it on my sdcard, remounted /system readwrite and copied it over to /system/build.prop and then rebooted.
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su (if your ROM didn't already drop you in to root, and check your phone for the superuser popup)

Did you reboot your phone?
yes, and after rebooting a rechecked my build.prop file to make sure it took, and it was correct
Nevermind, I got it to work...
The end of the second line was missing the s. Put the s in, and it works perfect.
Can I get some clarification on this? I am using Mammon 1.0.3.1 and cannot get my sprint football ap to work.
Would this be an example of what this would fix?
Could the MSID number in my phone being different from my phone number be the reason it doesn't think this is a SPrint phone?

I tried downloading it and saving it to my SD card, but it's a protected app. I use AppMonster, which backs up all the apps for when I do flashing, but it doesn't do protected ones. Sorry man, I tried.
sorry i havent replied, most of the roms out there SHOULD have this baked in... i know acs and quantum do and the cm rom should but ill ask noob just to be sure.
Uhm, I have a XYBOARD 10.1 inch (WIFI ONLY) And I edited something in Build.PROP. I then restarted at to my surprise it goes completely black after it shows the Motorola DUAL CORE screen. I can get into the recovery. I even Factory Resetted thinking that might help but, Nothing. Is there anything I can do to restore it? Because I'd rather not have an expensive XYBOARD paper weight.
BUMP? I really need help.
if you can get to recovery, you should be able to push stock OS via ADB.. there is a guide in the Xoom development section.

As the XOOM2/Xyboard has a locked bootloader and no bootstrap for a recovery so your stuck right now until Motorola decides to care about the Android community. Also adb is not possible from what I heard when it can't boot. If you want some help then contact the not many Xyboard devs here "Bricks" as they are always happy to help bricked people.

I'm in the same situation as you as of today (But I have the Verizon Droid Xyboard 10.1). Messed around with the Build.prop and now its not working. I have a copy of the original Build.prop but don't know how I can push it to my tablet.
Adb is not working but fastboot is.
I don't think my original build.prop would be any help to you since I have the 4G version but if you want it let me know and I will send it to you!
Looks like I may have to send it to Motorola :-(
OK guys, no worries... I think I know the solution.
1 - enter in recovery
2 - open cmd on your PC
3 - go to adb and fastboot folder via cmd
4 - type:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
cd /system
rm build.prop
exit
5 - copy original build.prop to this folder (adb one)
6 - type:
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot
exit
Hope that helps you guys it already helped me (I have the Origina Xoom)

So, I'm attempting to root a Charge that the volume keys do not work. Apparently, 1 and 2 year olds who have great throwing ability is something the Charge, well, anything really, doesn't exactly appreciate. Normally, I root by going into the download mode, and flashing CWM, then installing the ROM. Obviously, not happening here.
My question is, has someone with more knowledge than I figured out how to accomplish this? Its running stock FP5. I really don't want to send it in because of the contract timing and wasteful of money. I'm also willing to experiment replacing parts, if someone knows anything about it...
Thanks.

Yep. There's a jig that will force the phone into dl mode. IIRC it's branded for the gnex but it's confirmed to work on the Charge as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27533069

Hey, I had a thought of using ADB to root, and somehow forcing CWM on it, then using an app to boot it into dl mode. I've never used and before and don't know if it's possible, although, from what I read, it seems plausible. Can you offer any insight on this idea?

If you have adb all set up and it properly recognizes your phone (something comes up when putting in the adb devices command) you can boot into download mode with
adb reboot download
Actually it's something I looked into recently for another member. I'm not saying it's not possible but I don't think we have the right tools for it. Originally ginger root was used via adb to root the charge but that's not going to work with our version of gb (assuming you could still find it). I'm not sure the format of cwm will work either. I'm not really proficient with adb so someone with more expertise might be able to get you going.

Awesome. I don't have it installed yet, but it doesn't look like it takes much to make it work. Plus, I have nine that isn't screwed up, so I think I'll see what I can come up with later.
On a side note, I can't post a reply to your tweaked 3.1 thread, but I ran into somewhat of a problem... run tweaktools, did the tweaks thing, phone BARELY would run. I also couldn't get a shell to run to get back in to uninstall. What I ended up doing to fix was a reinstall of SuperSU and installing a bash shell off a different emulator to get back into tweaktools. This was after I played in /system/etc/init.d awhile trying my hand at fixing it. Thought you may want/need to knoknow.

Sorry to hear of the troubles - not sure what would have caused the issue with tweaktools. You weren't able to su, or you weren't able to open terminal emulator? What were you messing with specifically in the tweaks?

Okay, Found it in ADB, and am able to reboot into download, so all is well, I think.
On the tweaktools issue, I kinda did something like this...One tweak does okay, so lets install ALL of them....after that, performed the reboot, and everything went very sloooow. So, I tried to get into a term emulator, and nothing happened, the shell wouldn't even start. Blank screen. So, I tried a different outside of ROM toolbox. Nothing. So, I played around with the settings here and there, and still nothing. I then went into root browser, and started trying to manually move the tweaks out, nothing different. So, I downloaded another term emulator, "Better Terminal Emulator" and got a bash shell to at least open, was able to get into tweaktools, erase all tweaks, clear downloads. But the shells still weren't operating right. They'd open and run, but nothing would show on screen. So, a erase/reinstall of SuperSU, everything good....LOL
Well, maybe it'll help, maybe not, but here's the path I used to do this:
Visit samsung's site for the ADB download and install to c:\android-sdk\ (default)
Put USB Debugging on in phone
Start up command line and Odin 1.82
issue following in command line (notably in the c:\android-sdk\platform-tools)
Code:
adb reboot download
Odin up some Tweaked 2.2 with recovery and kernel for root
once rebooted, issue the following in ADB shell:
Code:
adb shell
su (Checked phone to be sure root was granted)
cd /data
rm -R *
cd /cache
rm -R *
cd /dbdata rm -R *
reboot, then adb reboot download.
Flashed EP4 Stock, updated,
Updated to FP5E
Once again, USB debug, adb reboot download, and Odin Tweaked 3.1 with 0302,
follow above code again, reboot, and I think I have it right....
Since the volume keys don't work on here, is there a way to screw around in the recovery mode via ADB rather than only the keys? I see ADB sees the phone in recovery, and seems to want to connect with it....Second is, is there a way to play with this in the *nix enviroment? I also have been searching for the Gingerbreak, etc to root this thing on stock, but haven't been able to do it....and last, is there a way to do a data wipe other than what I did, and think i accomplished with ADB?
Thanks
With the CWM that I am using, you can use the hard buttons at the bottom of the phone to navigate.

As you have adb access, you can use adb pull to retrieve the files:
adb pull device_path local_path
For example:
adb pull /sdcard/photos/photo001.jpg photos/
You probably need to do that file-by-file, though I never tried a directory. Some shell scripting might help.

Well, the trick is to use shell scripting, like mentioned. For example on Linux, something like:
Code:
adb shell ls /sdcard/photos/ >filelist.txt
for p in $(cat filelist.txt); do adb pull /sdcard/photos/$p photos/; done
There should be similar scripting capabilities in Windows, but never used those.
Or you can use Cygwin with above lines.

Oh, true, with an up-to-date adb you can indeed pull a directory. Either older versions didn't support that, or I never noticed.
Should work on Windows as well.
