[Q] downgrading android software. stuck on command prompt

hiya everyone, im new on here and really need some help.
im trying to downgrade my android software so im able to root it. only problem being ive never used command prompt lol!!
the guide im using says:
Launch a Command Prompt window and browse to the location of the files extracted in Step 1.
Enter the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
You should now get the # prompt, indicating temporary root.
Enter these commands:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
but how do i browse for the files if ive stored them in my documents and in a folder called downgrade android.
many thanks
What device are you trying to downgrade and what version of Android are you currently on? If it's Gingerbread there is a oneclick root called gingerbreak that works for a lot of people.
More info needed really.

help!!

keeps saying not a batch file :s
Moving them into the SDK tools folder temporarily would make things easier and would mean only the file name needs to be typed rather than the specific location, try it out, I hope I remembered correctly

you can either modify the command like this:
adb push C:\users\[YOURUSERNAME]\My documents\downgrade\psneuter /data/local/tmp
or setup a locale path variable to the dir, where adb is stored as mentioned in THIS thread. (step 4)
Then you can simply cd to the dir, where your files are stored, and run adb from there (actually you can run adb from any dir then)

This is doing way to much extra while unrooting. Since you would already have root by this point, you can just call su to do all the removes and then remove su last. This can be done from adb or any root file explorer like es file explorer (which will also allow you to mount the file system).

[GUIDE][ROOT] Root almost any china android phone

Use any 1 of the following methods.
I have personally tried these on 2 of my china android phones.
1. Using linux {Recommended}Install Ubuntu or DebianEither
Install the android-sdk.
dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130717.zip <==x86
dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130717.zip <==x86_64
or
Just get the standalone adb and fastboot executables
texasice-cream-sandwich-mirror.googlecode.com/files/adb_fastboot.zip​Install ia32-libsRun this in a terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5
Now download the files required for root and put it in the same folder as adbmir.cr/GDEPZT4V​After you finish installing the files,
Connect your device with debugging mode enabled
Run
Code:
cd path/to/adb
where "path/to/adb" is the directory of your adb file
Now run
Code:
sudo chmod a+x adb
sudo chmod a+x fastboot
>>Root
Code:
./adb devices
./adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
./adb push su /data/local/tmp/
./adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
./adb shell
Chmod and run the exploit under adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 755 psneuter
./psneuter
Now re-engage an adb shell to check if the exploit worked.
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb devices
./adb shell
If you see a # sign, the exploit was was successful. Otherwise repeat from >>Root
Now run these on the same adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox ash
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
cp /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 777 /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
Now reboot your device and open up SuperSU. Let it update the binary.
Your device should be rooted. ​2. Use Windows + MoboroboMethod 1 {Recommended but hard}
Download Moborobo from
Code:
moborobo.com
This software can Install drivers for many china phones and other branded phones.
After installing Moborobo download the files required for root
Code:
mir.cr/GDEPZT4V
Extract the files to the installation directory of Moborobo.
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Moborobo
Run a CMD window under that directory and type
Code:
xcopy AndroidInterface.exe adb.exe
Connect your device in debugging mode & Open up Moborobo, It will install the drivers.
Keep Moborobo open & Follow the instructions mentioned in >>Root
P.S- the linux commands begin with a "./" remove this in windows or else it won't work. Note: Wherever I mentioned a terminal, the windows equivalent to this would be cmd​Method 2 {Easier}
Download and Install Moborobo just like above and run this under a cmd on that folder
Code:
xcopy AndroidInterface.exe adb.exe
Also download UnlockRoot or SuperOneClick
To make sure the adb files are of the same version, Copy over
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
to UnlockRoot's tools directory or SOC's ADB directory
Connect your device in debugging mode and open up moborobo.
Now keep Moborobo open and Run UnlockRoot or SOC. ​Good Luck :good:

I said follow the instructions mentioned in ">>Root".
I named a step in Method one as ">>Root". So I meant you should repeat those steps.
Now download the files required for root and put it in the same folder as adb
mir.cr/GDEPZT4V
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What files?
EDIT: managed to do all the steps using method 1 in windows but got this message with executing ./psneuter :
mnmap() failed. Invalid argument
I used windows to root
failed at adb shell psneuter command...
/system/bin/sh: psneuter: not found
how to proceed ?
