My Xoom is rooted and running tiamat 1.41.
I'm trying to push a file onto the xoom and having trouble with it.
I have the Android SDK installed.
When I type ADB DEVICES, it shows my xoom listed as a long string of letters and numbers.
I figured out I could get into the shell by using ADB -s ###### shell (where #### is the numbers/letters shown as the device).
If I type remount, i get permission denied.
If I try to push a file onto the Xoom, I get permission denied.
What am I missing here and how do I mount the Xoom so that I can push files onto the it?
Anyone know where the libflashplayer.so goes? I have the official flash installed and don't see it in /system/lib
you have to cd into the directory where adb is. most people put it right on the root of there C drive so in terminal type "cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" without quotes then type "adb remount" and you should be mounted
if you need more help with adb check out this guide http://androidsamurai.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4&sid=b8c229b771793d03bb84efbcf562e55b
I have tools and platform-tools directories in my PATH so I can run them from any directory. Even running it from the directory containing the executable fails with 'remount failed - operation not permitted'
you could try uninstalling and reinstalling android sdk

You're not in insecure mode. I thought flashing that kernel would put you into insecure mode? Maybe you need to reflash?
If you still actually have a working su binary, copy the file somewhere writeable, then su to root, then copy it from there again to the location.
When I CD to the platform-tools folder and type
Code:
adb devices
it says "adb: command not found" If anyone could help me that would be wonderful. I am on the Inspire/DesireHD running AOSP Gingerbread. Thanks!
You have two choices. You can either run the command prefixed with ./ (dot slash), which allows for executing an executable in the current directory:
Code:
./adb devices
Or, the other choice (which will be better if you intend to use adb a lot) is to add the platform-tools folder to your path by editing or creating the file .bashrc in your home folder (~/.bashrc).
Let's suppose your platform tools folder is: ~/.android-sdk/platform-tools
Then, you would want to add something along the lines of the following to your bashrc:
Code:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.android-sdk/platform-tools"
Save the file, the run this or log out/in:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
Et voila, you should now be able to run adb from any folder without issue.
Explanation: adding the new path (folder) to your PATH environment variable tells BASH to include that folder in its search for an executable. The reason $PATH is added at the beginning of the new string is so that your default path does not get overwritten. $HOME will simply expand to /home/your_user_name when BASH interprets it.
GENIUS! IT WORKED! Thank you! Now, one more question- how do I get superuser privileges using ADB? (device is rooted, of course)
No problem.
On my G1 you were root as soon as you adb'd in. Just tested on my Defy and '$' - shocking. So once you have run adb shell, just run 'su' (without quotes of course) and accept the permission on your phone screen as usual for root programs and you should be good to go.
Sorry to keep asking questions, but when I typed
Code:
su
into adb, it asked for a password. No popup on device screen. I do have superuser installed on the device.
That is odd. I'm not sure why that would be. I'll see if I can think of something though. Hopefully someone else can make a suggestion.
Thanks! You have been very helpful.
Don't think I can hit the thanks button from the app, sorry

Hey Guys,
can someone help me ? I will raun the Data Recovery Program of Testdisk and Photorec on my Transformer HC3.2 as SuperUser in a Terminal Emulator for Android. The Terminal Emulator runs great. At same time a tested it with an SSHD.
I have Downloaded the Linux Version of Testdisk (Linux, kernel 2.6.x i386/x86_64)
If i will start the file "testdisk_static" solo and with su command but every time it says "permission denied". In File Explorer i set the PErmissions of the file and in the command shell two times with chmod 7777 but se thame problem.
Permisson Denied !!!
Has someone any idea how i can fix this problem ???
Here is the Link of the Programm : cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
I think testdisk and photorec are not include in Busybox. As far as I know, you just can't run them directly on Android.
Problem:
I've worked with every available distribution of Linux, trying to get the damn thing working on my phone. Troubleshooting the ***t out of it, and no deal. Constant errors/files not found etc. So, rather than post my logs and ask for help troubleshooting them (as I've obviously been unable to do), I thought I'd just ask:
Does anybody have a Linux build (besides android!) working on their phone that's running Gingerbread or ICS? If yes, can you post your software specs?
Here are mine currently:
Busybox- v1.19.3-Stericson in /system/xbin
Firmware Version- 2.3.5
Baseband Version- T959VUVKG6
Kernel- 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKI3-CL611444
Build Number- Gingerbread.VUVKI3
Mod Version- Octaine Team Acid
Thanks, this has been a pain in my **s for too long now!

I had both Fedora and Ubuntu working on Froyo at one point through lots of modifying and editing of the scripts.
What do you need them for anyway? I think it's more of a hassle to set them up than it's worth.
Well, I am working quite a bit now with linux for servers and such, and it's good to have a system (even minimal) that I can use/reference, plus it helps me get better at it.
Get this: I was so frustrated that I went back to BlackIce (keeping my gb bootloaders) and the damn thing loads right up, ubuntu 11.04, no problem. So, I then loaded up Valhalla's GB build and, sure enough, that works too. So, going with my luck I load octane 2.x GB which i've been digging of late and no deal, ubuntu just won't load.
Now, trying the same trick I cannot get it to work. It just won't load now when I SH it. Here's the instructions that worked before (and I've tried them all!):
http://www.nerd65536.com/2011/07/installing-ubuntu-in-android-version-2.html
Also, I hard bricked again (corrupted bootloaders from a Parallels Windows stallout) but did Adam's UnBrickable Mod and that's all better. Everybody needs to check it out, it's awesome:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333424
So FBI, any idea why linux is so temperamental? Once it SH's properly, it always works.
(Thanks to all the developers for their great roms!)
Yeah I noticed that slight changes from different ROMs based on the same kernel base had that effect too. I'm thinking it had to do something with the busybox installations since I had to edit the script sometimes. For some reason on some installs running mount won't work unless you use it as busybox mount. It was very iffy like that. I haven't even tried it again because of how frustrating it is to get even a boot. The other thing is that if you try to do a shutdown from ubutu/fedora it doesn't even kill the processes all the way so the only way you can clear some ram up with with a reboot.
Yeah man, I was figuring Busybox myself. I've tried old installs, new installs, xbin only, bin only, xbin & bin, etc. It's so frustrating because I can't figure it out. When it was working it was great, pretty stable.
So the first problem always lists as:
Remounting /system rw...
Mount: no such file or directory
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] etc, etc
So does this tell us that the system is not mounted rw? I used the Mount/system r/w application, but I cannot verify it's doing it's job. Everything is rooted properly, CWM also.
In Terminal on the phone I ran:
"mount | grep system"
which gave me
"/dev/block/st19 on /system type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=0,data=writeback)"
which leads me to believe the system is r/w.
I'm converting the system back from ext4 using CWM Voodoo to disable Lagfix and system Lagfix to see if this has any effect. Will report.
No deal. Didn't do a damn thing. I'm going to crack this if it's the last thing I do....
I'm using Better Terminal Pro, Bash shell, and under command line in options it lists the Shell as: /system/bin/sh-
The sh install.sh also tells me:
"Mounting: Loopback mount
mknod: /dev/block/loop254: File exists"
Does this mean that all (255) of my loops are used? Do I need to remove programs?
The available loop device thing never got resolved. Nameless originally fixed it by making it use 254 so that there was a low chance of the loop device being available, but the phone's OS is very iffy about letting a new loop device get assigned to a system image file. Can't really help you out since I never got it to consistently mount with different roms.
Linux on SGS4G Working! Done and Done!
Figured it out.
I can get Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 & Debian 6 to mount repeatedly in all sorts of ui updatable configurations using this information:
http://www.nerd65536.com/2011/07/installing-ubuntu-in-android-version-2.html
It's a friggin Christmas Miracle! Can't tell you how much time I've wasted working this out, and it all boils down to the sh and run scripts.
So, without further ado, here goes.
!!Make sure you're rooted!!
!!The quotes just tell you what to type. Don't type them!!
1.
Download one of the three builds on the website listed above (or build your own, it should work fine). Extract it from tar.bz2, they should all extract to a linux file, this includes the necessary scripts. Put it on the sd-card on your phone.
2.
Download the new scripts that (Nerd) listed found here: http://ohm.nerd65536.com/android-linux/scripts-latest.tar.bz2
And extract them. You'll have another file that says linux. Open it, take the three files inside (install.sh, root-scripts & scripts) and paste them in the linux folder you moved to your sd-card. They will overwrite the ones currently there. These scripts work for sgs4g, the originals did not.
3.
Install the latest BusyBox in xbin if it's not already installed (must be rooted). Latest is 1.19.3
4.
Download a terminal client, like Better Terminal Emulator or Android Terminal Emulator. I use the first. The terminal needs to run the commands as root, especially the linux vnc command as it didn't want to work for me no matter if I started by typing su. Better Terminal Emulator has a check box to always start in root.
5.
Open up your terminal emulator and type su if you are not rooted there. Then change directory to the linux file on the sd-card. run the sh file there.
Like this:
"su"
"cd /sdcard/linux"
"sh install.sh"
If it works, the resulting dialog in terminal won't throw up any problems.
6.
Get back to / on sd by typing in terminal:
"cd /"
You should then have a: / # prompt, which means you are still rooted.
Enter:
"linux"
Which should result in a: [email protected]:/#
This means Linux is running. Congratulations. It should continue to run unless you shut down your phone.
7.
Download a VNC client, like Android VNC Viewer (free) or Remote VNC Pro, which I use. Add a new entry in it, with the following settings:
Host: localhost
Port: 5901
Password: cheesecake
Color: 24-bit
Name: Linux
When that's done save if you can or back out if you can't, and go back to your terminal emulator.
8.
It should still say: [email protected]:/#
If it doesn't, fine, if it does, just go back to root prompt by typing:
"exit"
Which should get you: / #. Then type:
"linux vnc"
Which should run itself and mount the chroot environment. It should tell you your new 'X' desktop is localhost:1, and have a: / # prompt again.
It might also ask you for a password, if so then put whatever password you'll remember in that's longer than 6 characters and verify it. This only happens once.
9.
Go back to your VNC client and if you entered a password in step 8. then edit your listing to your password instead of cheesecake, if not then don't.
Click on the Linux link and BAM! (shameless Emerilism), you're at your Linux desktop which should be running a iceWM desktop interface, which is fast. The LXDE desktop is nicer and if you want that then go into you're terminal and get into the linux shell by typing:
"linux"
And then switch to LXDE by typing:
"apt-get autoremove icewm- lxde+"
Which will run through the removal/ installation, and verify you want to download the <400mb files. Type:
"y"
And give it time to finish. When finished, just go back to your VNC client and hit Linux again, and you will have a nice looking functional desktop, with a cpu load graph on the bottom. I tried using Gnome desktop and Unity 2d, but both of these would install and not fully run with all options. They are heavier and slower, but cool non-the-less. Let me know if anyone has luck with these on Android.
Notes-
You only have to type "linux vnc" once in terminal to start linux every time you boot your phone. Otherwise, just open your VNC client and click on Linux to use it. Easy!
You will want to update and upgrade your linux after install, do so by typing in terminal:
"apt-get update"
"apt-get upgrade"
Also, you might run across a problem if you try to add-apt-repository, that's because that python command is not present. To use it, enable by typing:
"apt-get install python-software-properties"
Also of note, the downloadable linux builds are sized to about 2.15gig on your sd, which is big enough for most. There is a way to resize them which I tried but it gave me trouble in loading. I will try again and see if I can get it to work.
Here's the link from Dangermouse:

You're welcome.
It's actually a lot easier than that to make the image larger. Just pop the SD card into a Linux machine and:
(Assuming the original file is: /media/phone/linux/linux.img)
Code:
resize2fs /media/phone/linux/linux.img 4095M
And you're done. resize2fs is made of magic!
Note: Most SD cards are FAT32, which has a filesize limit of 4GiB. The above instructions will make the file a megabyte less than that.
nerd65536:
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Had to e2fsck -f /media/SDCARD/linux/linux.img (phone plugged in to Mint) before i did it to check over the file system, but then it ran immediately. Much appreciated.
Have you had any luck on native boot? I've been working a little on this, as I can't run BackTrack arm well virtually, it gets buggy. Granted the telephony systems won't work during, but the functionality should be pretty good if we could run it standard.
Also, while I'm thinking of it, is it possible to run the img from an ext4 partition on the card? I have an existing one being used for link2sd files and would much prefer using it as it's a far superior file system to fat32, without the 4G limits. Vnc should have no problem graphically, but would the linux.img chroot properly?
It would probably work but you would have to alter the script to mount the other partition if it doesn't do it automatically and change the path. Shouldn't be too hard.

ADB:-
Android Debug Bridge
Very useful program made itself by Google for Programmers and developers. Its based on command line and basically communicates with your Android to respond to certain commands. There is vast amount of knowledge about adb but its most useful commands limit to getting:-
Logcat:-
A real time log of what is happening in background of our devices. It is really useful for developers to see which component has malfunctioned and helps to narrow down their search for what failed and what needs to be fixed. Several times users are asked to give logcats of their devices which are giving errors. We will go in detail that how to get logcats in every and easiest way possible.
App Installation and Management:-
adb proves really handy if you want to install apks directly from your PC or want to batch install or delete them.
Shell Execution:-
You must have heard of Terminal Emulator. It is an app for android to execute shell commands(linux commands) which are basically present as applets in /system/bin, /system/sbin or /system/xbin(in our case) folders. A very imporant applet called busybox is installed there mainly used for execution of basic commands during root browsing or ROM installation. Many times updater script of ROMs use busybox commands to install it. Well, these commands can be initiated from your device too but they can be initiated from adb also making it easy for programmers.
Pushing and Pulling:-
Most used commands of adb. adb makes it a piece of cake for new device developers to get an ideo of structure and basic knowledge of devices by pulling command. We can pull out i.e copy any files or folders from our devices to our PC, even the root directories without rooting the devices. It help rooters and ROM chefs of new devices to get an idea and implement their mods on them. Pushing is also very useful command. It copies your files and folders from PC to your device. Very useful in pushing some /system apps and other things
Remounting and setting permissions
Basic commands:-
Of-course basic commands such as rebooting and rebooting in recovery mode and download mode are supported.
Others:-
There are several other features of adb such as fastboot, aapt, etc
Setting up ADB
Pre Requirements:-
A little amount of brain
PC(This is a windows guide, if asked I will add linux and mac guide later)
Java Runtime environment or Java Developing kit
Your Device Drivers
An Android Device
USB Debugging MUST be turned ON in the device for ADB to see it & Developer options is hidden in Android 4.2 and
above, Hitting Build number 10 times in
About Phone/Tablet reveals the menu (Thanks lilHermit for reminding me to add it)
Assuming you all these ready and working properly, we continue
If you are having trouble completing Pre-Requisites, there are several guides featuring them too
Start
1. First Download Android SDK. Roughly about 70 MB
2. There may be any compressed zip file or exe file
If zip file, then extract it to C:\android-sdk
If exe file then double click on it and install it in C:\ Drive(or any other drive you want)
3. Now to get adb and other tools, you need to download 'Platform Tools'
To download them, go to the android-sdk folder and double click on SDK Manager
It will ask you which package to download? However, it is your choice which package to Download, but here, we will only talk about platform
Tools. So, simply tick on Platform Tools and click on install. Once you have done it. Go to the platform-tools folder in the directory where you installed android-sdk. You will find several files there like adb, fastboot, aapt, etc
4. Now, you can backup the whole folder of android-sdk to any external storage that will make you not download package
again if you want to. You can have it placed in any computer and run it as it does not require registry to work
5. Now, you are just one step away from using adb. Next step is SKIPPING SETTING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE (If you however want to set environment variables. Click on Show Content)
We can easily append the sdk platform-tools and tools folder to your systems environmental path variable directly from command line(cmd) by simply issuing one command and performing a system reboot:
Code:
SETX PATH "%PATH%;[COLOR="Indigo"]SDK_Install_Path[/COLOR]\platform-tools;[COLOR="Indigo"]SDK_Install_Path[/COLOR]\android-sdk-windows\tools" -m
Just replace the "SDK_Install_Path" in the above with the proper path of your SDK installation. Example: C:\android-sdk-windows
(Thanks to WugFresh for telling me :victory
Many guides on internet say that it is to be done for making it easy for users and if you have some basic knowledge of Command Prompt,
you will know that to execute any application with command prompt, you first need to change the directory to the one where application is
placed. And to skip changing the directories every time you open CMD, you need to put that application is environment variable. Howeve, we will not do so.
6. Type cmd in the search bar. Copy cmd.exe from there. Go to the directory where you have installed android-sdk. Go to platform-tools folder. Paste cmd there, right click on it and in the settings, select Run as Administrator.
7. You are done. Now what to do in it?
ADB Commands
Type adb in command prompt. And several commands will show up on your screen. It is very difficult to analyse these all commands, so we will only talk about most used and important commands
Connect your device via USB cable
And open the CMD in platform-tools folder(Make a shortcut of it on desktop). And type the suitable commands
Code:
adb devices
Will show the list of devices attached to the PC andtheir serial numbers. If this shows up correctly on your PC, then it means that everything is fine for continuing.
Logcat
Code:
adb logcat
It will display the real time log of your device
Best time to do it is when your device boots up
Now, many users ask me how to copy the logcat and upload it from CMD
There are several methods:-
1. Right click on the Title Bar of Command Prompt. Hover the cursor over edit and select mark. Select all the things you want to copy and then click enter. All the things will be copied to clipboard.
2. This is the correct way of getting logcat saved.
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
This command will create a logcat.txt document in platform-tools folder with the complete logcat of the device. Ofcourse you can type any name instead of logcat.txt
3. I prefer taking logcat this way as it neatly compiles logs of different time
Code:
adb logcat -v long > logcat.txt
This is a very nice way to get logcat.
Installing Apps
Code:
adb install %PATH OF APK%
This will install an app on your Android
For example, if my app AreeB.apk is in G:\ drive (G:\AreeB.apk)
Then I will type
Code:
adb install G:\AreeB.apk
Be sure your apk is not in a folder that has space in its name, else the command will break at space bar.
For eg:-
G:\Program Files\AreeB.apk
Note:
If you have spaces in path of apk, you can execute the command without breakage if you include the path inside quotes. (Thanks to etcman)
Eg:-
Code:
adb install "G:\Program Files\AreeB.apk"
Mounting
However, I never found any problem in tweaking with system files with adb, but some users said that they couldn't do it, so the problem was that their system partition was mounted as Read Only(R/O)
So, it is necessary now to tell how to mount system partition as Read Write(R/W)
Code:
adb remount
It is easiest way to do so, if it does not work then
There is another method that we will discuss in ADB Shell commands section
Pushing and Pulling
For pushing,
Type
Code:
adb push %PATH TO BE PUSHED% %PATH WHERE TO BE PUSHED%
Suppose I have an app named SystemUI.apk(PATH = G:\SystemUI.apk) which I want to push in /system/app/ on my android(or in other words, install an app as a system app). Then I would type
Code:
adb push G:\SystemUI.apk /system/app/
More examples
G:\Dance.txt file to be pushed in Dance folder in sdcard
Code:
adb push G:\Dance.txt /sdcard/Dance/
OR
Code:
adb push G:\Dance.txt /mnt/sdcard/Dance/
G:\Movies folder to be transferred in SDCARD in Videos Folder
Code:
adb push G:\Movies /sdcard/Videos/
G:\system\framework\framework-res.apk to be pushed in /system/framework/
Code:
adb push G:\system\framework\framework-res.apk /system/framework/
For pulling,
push command replaces with pull and paths are swapped
Code:
adb pull %PATH TO BE PULLED FROM% %PATH TO PLACE PULLED FILE%
Example,
All system apps are to be pulled to G:\ROM\system\app
Code:
adb pull /system/app G:\ROM\system\app\
build.prop to be extracted to desktop
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\
However, if a folder is in platform-tools folder, you don't need to type full path
Suppose if I type
Code:
adb pull /system/ system
Then a folder named system will be created inside platform-tools with all the files in system in it
If a file is in platform-tools folder, then also no need to type full path
For example,
There is an app name DeskClock.apk in this folder then, to push it to /system/app, type
Code:
adb push DeskClock.apk /system/app/
ADB Shell Commands
This mode of adb allows you to execute linux shell commands from your PC
These commands can aldo be executed through the mobile using Terminal Emulator
To initiate shell mode
Type
Code:
adb shell
You will get an prompt like this
sh-3.2#
Now you are in shell mode
adb commands won't work here and a new set of commands will work here. But we will only go in a little detail here.
Assuming you are in adb shell mode, I will only type commands that will work on shell. Note:- These commands won't work if you type them alone on cmd. But, these command will directly work on your mobile's Terminal Emulator
As these commands can also work on mobile, I am going to tell you a way of taking logcat on mobile
Type
Code:
logcat
You will see log of your device
To save this
Type
Code:
logcat > /sdcard/log.txt
A file named log.txt will be generated in sdcard
Uninstalling Applications
Code:
cd /data/app
This will change the directory to /data/app
Code:
ls
This will show the list of files in there
Suppose, there is an app named com.opera.browser (Opera Mobile) you want to uninstall it
Type
Code:
rm -r com.opera.browser
This will uninstall the app
Mounting Command:-
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Miscellanous commands:-
su: Initiates root request
du: Shows file foldrs and size
date: Shows todays date
ls: Shows list of directory
cd: Changes working directory
rm: Removes the file
logcat: Displays logcat
mount: Mounts the partition
busybox: Busybox Applets
Forgot next ones, will write later
