I can't pull an app from the sdcard

I just rooted the phone (I know this because I installed a screen shot app and it works) and I'm trying to copy a private app that is free off of my phone onto my computer. But, I cannot figure it out. Could someone please give me step-by-step instructions. I would really appreciate this.

It sounds like you have completed this process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581577
But read it and make sure you complete the last step to flash the recovery rom.
www.androidspin.com/downloads...roc-v1.2.3.img
He kind of botched the last command instead of:
adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
it should be:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
su
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
Once you make sure this is done, turn of your phone and then hold Home button and press end button. This should load the recovery, choose Nandroid Backup once you are done backing up you will want to flash Modaco's 1.1 rom. More information can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581846
Once this is done connect your phone to your pc, and open command prompt.
type in:
cd "the directory where the sdk is" \tools
then type:
If you are using appstosd with ext2 and fat32 partitioned sdcard:
adb pull /system/sd/app app
If you are using just fat32, no appstosd:
adb pull /data/app app
this will put all your apps into a directory named app in your \tools folder on your pc.
for private apps just replace app with app-private
alternatively, you can move apps one at a time with the command:
leave out " ".
adb pull /system/sd/app/"appname" "appname"
This will place the file directly into your tools directory. Hope this helps.

Yep, thats what I did. But I didn't flash the recovery rom. If I do that will it erase all my applicastion that I have installed? I didn't want to do that because the app I want to backup was free when I downloaded it but now it's not.

Ok, so I followed all the instructions above and go the in MoDaCo rom flashed. Then, when I tried to pull the apps off the sdcard I get a permissions denied error.

Thanks.
Now I have a new problem. It says "adb: not found". Now what?
Thanks for being so helpful everyone.

adb is a command that is run outside of the shell
for example your prompt would still be at
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/app-private (location)
you can't use adb inside of adb shell

Ah, I didn't know adb had to be run outside of the shell.
Now it says there aren't any files in app-private but I know there are two in there.

Wooow it's working thank you

So we are finally on some good track
Although we do not have a separate forum ... yet >.<

openrecovery worked. But nandroid backup failed on xt720!

Anyone make a nandroid backup????
khalpowers ?????

I have made a nandroid back up. But you can't select all you get errors. I only made a partial nandroid. Only system, data, and something else I can't remember.

Ok but you can backup your system and data...
I ll have to try it

i will try it too

Thanks, but at the first step, where I type ''adb shell'' it
says:''adb: permission denied''.
What do I have to do?

On linux, make sure adb is executable. On windows, make sure you run cmd as an administrator

Help?
I always did it on my phone with Terminal Emulator(Temprooted). When I type in ''adb shell'' it gives ''adb: permission denied''. When I try it on my PC(Windows) With only charge and USB debugging on, adb doesn't find my phone.(This is also in fastboot mode)
It gives: ''error: device not found''. What on earth am I doing wrong?

Adb isn't executed on the phone, it's on the pc. The phone should be running normally when you run it (with usb debugging enabled)
Also install htc sync to get the correct drivers
Rehash: start the phone normally. Ensure usb debugging is enabled. Plug the gizmo into your pc. Run adb shell in the command prompt as administrator

Adb is not a valid binary on the phone.
When you issue adb shell you're dropped in to the shell on the phone. Any commands entered there execute on the phone. Type exit to get out of the shell before executing the push commands

Oh OK, I see, but when I type in just ''push goldcard.img /data/local/'' after adb shell, it says: ''push: permission denied''. (running as admin in windows and temprooted phone)

Exit out of the phone's shell, them the command is
Code:
adb push goldcard.img /data/local

I think it didn't push the file completely. I get this every time when I am trying to push something.

[MOD][Motorola Cliq 2]2ndInit Recovery

Awesome news guys! I have successfully ported the 2ndInit Recovery to the Cliq 2! I replaced the Defy recovery with the recovery I worked up. As of right now, I do not have an apk to install it, it will require the use of ADB.
Thanks to the Korean developers that created the 2ndInit method for the Defy, without them, none of this were possible. Also thanks to polovinamozga and bdoc from xda for helping me get a working recovery, and my GRP team for helping me getting started. Also thanks to ksubedi on xda for adb instructions on the install.
**As always, not responsible for what does or doesn't happen to your device. If you aren't comfortable with voiding your warranty, do not attempt.**
Create a folder on the root of your sd card called bootmenu. Download this https://www.box.com/shared/86zp2vc6cyuvon61hcor and unzip it to your sd in the bootmenu folder you created.
Once completed, run the following commands to install.
Code:
C:/> adb shell
$ su
# cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
# cd /data/bootmenu
# chmod 755 *
# ./install.sh
# rm -R /data/bootmenu
This installs the bootmenu onto your phone. Once the commands are complete, turn off USB Debugging and reboot your phone once. Allow it to reboot. To get into recovery, reboot your phone again. When powering on, after the red LED turns off, a blue LED will show up briefly. When you see the blue LED, press the volume down button. Android BootMenu will display. Use volume buttons to navigate to [Custom Recovery] start. and press the volume button. Use volume buttons again to navigate CWMR, but use the camera button to select. If you get into a menu with no Go Back option, slide open the keyboard and use the delete button to go back.
Some reported that their power button functions as select button in CWMR.

Cracking android passwords

I am ultra noob, so can anyone take a look at the following link for me.
And post a detailed guide.
https://www.pentestpartners.com/security-blog/cracking-android-passwords-a-how-to/
Thanks
P.S. I need this for my own phone and not for illegal stuff.

If your phone's Android is rooted
&
If your phone can get accessed by means of ADB
then
you can open Android's SQLite database named /data/system/locksettings.db via ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data/system
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db
and do the database query as mentioned in the article linked to.

​Some things to mention.
1.My phone is locked.
2.By default it goes to USB tethering mode upon connecting to my PC(I changed the setting in DEV mode)
3. It is rooted
4. It has orange fox recovery installed
5. Again I am a noob right now (won't remain that way for too long) and need a tutorial of some kind to do this successfully.
6. I do not know SQL and so how to use it either, and for that matter Hashcat too.
The blog still remains difficult for me.
Thanks again

Line
Code:
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data/system
should read as
Code:
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data

Nothing

I see today is not my best day.
This should work
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su -c 'mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data'
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db

Still not working @jwoegerbauer

Is there any other way such as doing all this in recovery mode or using terminal in orange fox
or adb sidelode or something.

My guess is that your phone 's Android isn't properly rooted.

@jwoegerbauer what does properly rooted mean. All apps that require root works properly.
SubwayChamp said : If you are in Android 10 system can't be mounted the suggested way, you also said that device is locked but is rooted (?). Orange Fox recovery has inbuilt an add-on feature that can do that.

It's not interesting here whether apps that require root work or not. In your case it is only important whether SU-binary can be found by the system.
Anyway:
Some newer Android builds require the following additional ADB commands to be run first to disable Android's AVB-lock
Code:
adb root
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
Try this. Then run commands as listed above.
FYI: I no longer participate this thread. Have a nice day.
