Pushing additional notifications/ringtones to phone

Hi there,
I've got the Hero with a fully functioning 'Fresh' ROM (0.4) on (not using Apps2sd).
My question is how to push additional notification tones and ringtones to the phone in the following folders respectively:
/system/media/audio/notifications
/system/media/audio/ringtones
The reason I want to do this is to try and remove the need to have the following folders present on the sdcard:
/media/audio/notifications
/media/audio/ringtones
When I try to push the files to the phone using ADB, I get a 'failed to copy:....permission denied' error
(FYI, the command I used was: adb push /XXX.wav /system/media/audio/notifications/XXX.wav
Prior to pushing, I did issue the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
Tried to give as much detail as possible...appreciate any help!

I'm a noob, just learning the ropes of Android, but something I learned today is that you will probably need to do a chmod 777 commands to those media directories in order to get r/w access to them, that's what I would try, I hope it helps, you will want to do a chmod for media, audio, ringtones and notifications I'm guessing.

Superuser 2.3

Anyone manage to install it successfully without losing root. If so, how?

No, same problem, pushed the 2.3 apk to apps, after that not in launcher anymore and root completely gone.
Messed around for 2 hours now with X10root.apk, the runme batch file and at last manually. Don't know which method actually did it, but after final reboot I got rooted again and Superuser was visible again in Launcher.
I think the Donut Version of Superuser 2.3 is a fail, got 2.2 now, I think from Angelos pack but not sure.

Yeah, that's my experience too. The root .apk fixed it up for me again.

I've heard that the superuser 2.3 asks for permission for everything on the phone, is that correct?

Why would one need to upgrade to what most have using the root method? I see no reason to change whats already working fine and giving root. People never realise that newer versions dont always mean better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works a treat
You have to remove the old Superuser.apk from /system/app/
Then add the latest Superuser.apk along with the "su" supplied using adb:
Code:
@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
@adb push apps\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb push bin\su /sdcard/su
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su
@adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/Superuser.apk

This also happens on my phone.

Did the same for me. Rebooted, it was fine (did it on both my x10 and nexus).
Removing the old superuser app and pushing the new one works. Thanks guys.

Can i use a terminal / file manager on X10 to copy the apk and sh binary (ofcourse after mounting rw) ?
Or i have to use "dd"?

What are the new features found in the Superuser 2.3?

2.3.1 is out and works no more FC....

yup! works fine now

Could you please tell me how to do this?
Do i have just to open my sdk on my pc and insert the comand you wrote?
I'm tryng to understand how to remove superuser from the phone because i have a X10 and X10mini, and i've a problem with the second phone and this apk.
When i downloaded from the market a new version (2.3.6.1) of this programm, all went fine with my X10.
With X10 mini, when i try to download from market superuser, i can finish to downloading this apk, but phone dosen't install it.
A messagge appear sayng the package is not signed.
So maybe i thought it could depends from older version that's installed on X10 mini. Am i doing right removing the old version for installing new one? Or mine is another kind of issue?
And in general, is this still the right method (and the only one) to remove superuser.apk from Xperia phones?
Thanks

thank you!

Novo 7 Advanced ICS 4.0.3 Advance ROOT guide (not for Newbies!!!)

check it out :
http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/ain...ance-root-guide-not-newbies-697.html#post6351
I have managed to root my Novo 7 advance.
Follow theese steps and you will be fine
I used ADB, you must follow it in this exact order
ADB root
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell mount -o remount,ro /system
ADB install -r Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.apk
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /bin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /bin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /bin/su
all files and apk you need can be downloaded from here :
http://www.mediafire.com/?bx0y51nqbu4iptj
This method works on other devices as well !
Working on fixing the Market, I will publish a guide as soon as I got it to work...

I tried this, but root access is denied. The SuperOneClick completes everything, but when I installed SetCPU & RootExplorer apps, they are denied root access. Have you tried with these apps as well ?

Don't run SuperOneClick, type in the commands manually, and it'll work.
Possibly a typo in the commands above (?), this is what I used:
ADB root
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
ADB shell mount -o remount,ro /system
ADB install -r Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.apk
ADB shell mount -o remount,rw /system
ADB push su-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed /system/bin/su
ADB shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
ADB shell chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
Big thanks, finally got my device rooted. (Novo7 Advanced2)

Yarvik 474 root
The Yarvik 474 by default is "rooted", but technically is not . The busybox and the su don't work propoerly.
To make it work, we have to change them.
Preparation :
1.) download ADB,SU, Supersuser.apk ("www48.zippyshare.com/v/60795775/file.html")
2.) download busybox to the same directory ("busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/busybox-armv7l" )
2.b.) rename "busybox-armv7l" to "busybox".
Start the rooting:
1.) Connect your Yarvik 474 to your PC with USB "debug on"
2.) Open "DOS" terminal on your PC and type:
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell "mkdir /data/busybox"
adb push busybox /data/busybox/busybox
adb push busybox /system/sbin/busybox
adb push su /system/sbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
mv /bin/su /bin/su2
mv /bin/busybox /bin/busybox2
cd /data/busybox
chmod 04755 busybox
chown root.root busybox
./busybox --INSTALL /system/sbin
cd /system/sbin
chmod 04755 su
chmod 04755 busybox
chown root.root su
chown root.root busybox
cd /bin
ln /system/sbin/su su
ln /system/sbin/busybox busybox
3.) restart your tablet
You have a full rooted Yarvik 474!!!
