yeah i got that to.....you have to exit and keep on trying... like i said it happened to me to and on the second try i got it....

do you mean to keep re-trying the command prompt or keep retrying setting the folder so its not read-only

i think the problem is the whole adb thing.... exit out of your command prompt and try again.... it should go....

Being so new at this - only a month with a rooted hero - I didn't think to change my folder permissions on the phone level - so I went into Root Explorer and changed it to R/W - and it gets further than I had before - but no file transfer takes place
This is what I'm typing into cmd
adb push c:\bootanimation.zip \system\media
then I get: 950kb/s - (0 byes in ###s)

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

when I do that I get 'no such file or directory' which folder should I have the .zip in to make this easiest ? I just have it in c: right now

[Q] Where do you put apks you want to push to your phone?

sorry noob question, but when you have an apk on the computer, what folder do you put it in so that you can push it to your phone via ADB?
...and where do the files go when you 'pull' them from your phone? ie what directory?
thank you!

.apk you can install like any other app so u don't need to push it. As far as pulling I'm not sure I use root explorer to move files instead of adb

You can just put them wherever you want and specify the full path in your adb command, both ways...
For example, I recently pulled a file from my phone to push to another:
Code:
adb pull /data/app/com.neevo.mobiledefense-1.apk /Users/dave/Dropbox/Android\ Apps

If you're using windows command prompt you could just drag the file into the terminal I believe and it will autopopulate the directory. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That should work on Windows, and on Macs as well. Probably would work in a Linux GUI environment as well.

easiest way is to install from Dropbox

easiest way is to use DROP BOX
Then drag any APK you want to install into the Drop Box
and in your phone just install the app or game from you Drop Box
the best thing is you get a FREE 2GB, when you sign up

The only original file you need is the Unlock_code.bin. They emailed this to you, that's the only way you can get the file. So if you did not delete the email, you can just go and download it again from your email. If you did delete it, it's most likely still in your email's trash bin.
BTW you do not need any original files to relock. Just boot back into fastboot usb mode and do as they said in the thread "fastboot oem lock"

I still have the file that htc emailed me. But in the instructions it list needing to move 2 other files to the android folder you create.
So basically just move the unlock.bin to that folder and follow the instructions as normal?

Are you talking about these 3 files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe? Really he shouldnt have said to move them. You can leave them where they are at. On your PC navigate to C:\Android\platform-tools and they should all be there still. Look and see if they are. If they are not, then I can send them to you.
If they are still there, then you just navigate to that directory in CMD prompt and follow his instructions. Where he says to navigate to C:\Android you instead navigate directly to C:\Android\platform-tools in cmd. Does that make sense?

I never had a directory called C:\android\platform-tools. I could not get any fastboot commands to work without having those 3 other files in the same directory as the Unlock_code.bin I was trying to push. Which is why I told them to put them together, to avoid the same issue I was having.

if you update your SDK to the latest you will see. Everyone should update their sdk once every month or so. you put your unlock file in that folder too, it's same instructions they tell you, but instead of moving those files out, you keep them there and you move your unlock file in. so you don't break the SDK for future stuff.

You have to cd (change directory) first. So open terminal than type cd.
Than if i remember right you keep tapping the space bar until you see the adb folder.Once there than run the adb commands.
Yep i'm pretty sure that's right because in Windows you tap the tab key
If i helped hit the thanks button!

Do you have adb in the directory you are in ??? I'm wiling to help but you need to answer this...
if you don't have adb installed it's pointless, 2 possibilities either you have adb installed but are not currently in the directory where it resides (you then need to navigate to the right directory using the cd command) or you don't and you need to install it and then go to that directory.

that's just not possible with the error message you get...you either not in the right directory or it's not installed.
Go to the directory where you think adb is and type ls and post the results.
Are you sure your USB debugging is on

He is right though. That error message can only mean it's not in the directory or you typed the name wrong. Are you sure there's not something simple you're overlooking? Sometimes we geeks over think things. I'm not a mac user but that error message is pretty clear.

As Redpoint said if you want help you need to try to follow instructions. you posted adb_mac after i asked you to perform an "ls"in your directory so that made sense as far as getting a "no such file or directory" error if you execute by doing ./adb. Either it's not there, it's corrupted,there is typo or wrong directory, that's the only time you will get this error maybe you just want to try re-installing adb in your directory of choice.
go to directory where adb reside type "ls" and post a screenshot

[Q] Need help fixing Device Tampered.

I have a LG nexus 5 and started playing around with software, Installed cyanogenmod to see what it had to offer.
Now I want to go back and I have succeeded in that but when I type fastboot oem device-info in cmd it says that the device has been tampered with.
I have access to Android toolkit PRO for nexus 5 so if anyone can give me a short guide step by step I would be very thankful.
For your information I have tried alot of different solutions none seem to work.

1.1 unlock fastboot
1.2 fastboot flash a recovery
1.3 flash the tamper fix zip
1.4 fastboot flash back to stock
1.5 check status
1.6 lock fastboot

Then you're doing it wrong. You need to type the path to the recovery. So if it's in c drive
fastboot flash recovery c:\twrp.img
Or if it's on your desktop
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\senseiblaze\desktop\twrp.img
Also note, the file must be called twrp.img. if it's called recovery.img, adjust your commands accordingly. It's also Case sensitive.
All basic stuff that every rooted user should know

Instead of flashing the twrp recovery boot from it.
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Because as far as I can remember flashing that zip will also lock the bootloader.

Also I noticed your file is called "TWRP.img" but the file directly above it is called "setup". Usually I would expect it to be "setup.exe" which means that you probably have the "hide extensions for known file types" set in windows explorer > organize > folder options...
If you turn this off, I'm hoping you'll see that you actually have TWRP.img.img which is of course, incorrect
