phone: LG esteem ms910
Rooted: Yes
I'm trying to adb push a .apk file into my phones /system/app folder. These are the steps I am taking in trying to do this, but I am getting a permission denied response at the "adb push" part. Oh and my phone is under the "internet connection" setting. The other two (mass storage, charge only) wont let my phone enter debugging mode.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
adb push C:\Myfile.apk /system/app
Also when I enter the "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" command, It pops up twice but without the # symbol, not sure if there is an error there but it ends up looking like this:
Code:
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tool>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tool>
I think you would want it to be on charge only, as the other options are utilizing the USB while charge only does not. That is how my setup functions... I did have the permission denied error before when I was using Ubuntu 10.04. Are you sure you have an up to date version of JDK? And the USB rules?
your command should be
adb push C:\Myfile.apk /system/app/myfile.apk
you have also to run adb as root or enable rw for /system/app
Basically:
______________________________________________
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
adb push C:\Myfile.apk /system/app/myfile.apk
________________________________________________
should do the job
@imheroldman- I tried leaving it on charge only, but the devices wasnt found when I ran the adb devices command, and yes the JDK is the latest.
@djodjoni -Hey I tried your suggestions and it worked.
Thanks to the both of you for helping.
FWIW, I got permission denied errors when I tried to push busybox via adb. I just downloaded a busybox .zip and flashed it via TWRP, it seems to have worked, and the busybox app recognizes it as installed.
I can't use adb push. It says Read Only file system when I try to push things to /sdcard. Don't know why

Make sure you have phone detected and correct drivers and adb installed.
Once ADB is functioning properly, then let's PUSH files!
First let's make sure adb is running and make sure adb see's the phone. Please run these commands:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
The output after devices will be a serial number, if this looks good, move on. First you need to make
sure the apk you want to push is in the same directory as adb.exe
once you have moved the apk to the adb.exe directory, then run the following:
Code:
[FONT=Verdana]adb remount
adb push myfile.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/myfile.apk
adb reboot[/FONT]
adb remount mounts the phone as read write so you can write thru adb, it will be automatically unmounted when phone disconnected or rebooted
assuming your APK you want moved is called "myfile.apk"
adb push file_myfile.apk /system/app/ this command moves the "myfile.apk" (the apk you want moved) to the /system/app/ directory on your phone
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/myfile.apk this command sets the correct file permissions for APKs
adb reboot this reboots the phone so that the new apk can be detected
Good luck

sounds like you possibly do not have proper permission for the user you are logged into your computers operating system with. make sure you have the proper permissions and rights to access the folders you are trying to access. For a quick fix you can try loging into the system using the root user or administrator of the system that you are using and then try the adb commands. and you can just do a quick su switch from the Computer OS's konsole/terminal.

OMG thanks, mine wasn't working because something as simple as that!
Hello,
I have a TF300t tablet and i have broken it`s digitizer and changed it myself afterwards. I have changed it with the same type of digitizer but it doesn`t work correctly. I read load of threads and i found a way to repair it by changing the touchscreen pcb firmware. I have rooted the tablet and installed adb on my computer. I tried lots of commands and methods but i can`t push the ekt file to the tablet and i can`t remove the older touch screen firmwares. I will summarise everything i am trying in this picture. I will be very thankfull if somebody can figure out where is the problem. I have installed the newest google usb drivers. The ADB finds the device before i get into the shell but not after that, i think that is the main problem but i`m not sure.
Thank you!

The red area is where you went wrong, to push a file with adb you cannot be running in shell .....
So from C:\ADB> run adb push ss.rar /system/etc/firmware/touch/
I am not sure why you are pushing a .rar file to your tablet but this is not for me to decide .....
You may have better luck with that .....
Hi Guys,
My phone's screen has broken and I can't see anything, although the touch still works. I have been able to connect it to the PC to take my music and photos off the internal storage, and my contacts are backed up to Google, but my texts are not and I'd like to recover them.
I've read that they normally reside in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and I should be able to pull this via ADB.
When the phone is booted to the OS it is not detected by ADB at all with 'error: device not found'. I thought USB debugging was on, but obviously not. I can boot to recovery (custom CWM) and now adb will connect to the device. However, when I try to pull the sms db I get 'No such file or directory'
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ sudo adb start-server
[sudo] password for james:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

~ # exit
[email protected] ~ $ adb pull su /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
remote object 'su' does not exist
~ # ls /data
~ #
It would appear the directory /data is empty but I bet that's because I don't have permissions to view the contents. I'm guessing this is also why su is not found.
Can anyone help me to get over this hurdle? Please bear in mind I'm not familiar with ADB and not great in a Linux shell either; the above commands took a bit of reading to find, but I do understand what they're trying to do.
My phone is a Sony Xperia T LT30p and is rooted running Xperiment 3.5 and Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.6 and I'm running ABD on Linux.
Any help would be appreciated! Cheers :good:

Hi
I have a new Android device, it's not any of the ones that have their own forum.
More specifically it runs Android 11 on top of a 4.19.193 Rockchip BSP kernel.
I need to read one or two specific files but these files are only readable by root.
I have ADB shell access.
What I do want to acheive:-
Temporarily have an ability to copy a file that's readable only by root, this could be by some GUI app that copies files, as long as the copy is readable by normal user, running commands as root, copy a partition to an image file, export to a desktop machine and read it there. Any one of these would get me that file.
What I don't want to do:-
I don't want to permanently modify the device, unlock the bootloader, put su into /system or anything like that.
Does anyone know of a rooting app that can give me temporary root access but then doesn't actually change the system?
thanks
To get temporary super-user ( AKA root ) rights on an Android's device shell all you have to do is to find a suitable su binary and copy it onto Android's filesystem.
A: To run Android shell commands with super-user right from within the shell on desktop computer ( AKA Command Prompt ) you have to run within desktop computer shell
Code:
adb devices
adb push <LOCATION-OF-SUITABLE-SU-BINARY-ON-PC-HERE> /data/local/tmp/
what will 1. connect the Android device to your desktop computer and 2. upload the su binary in the Android device temporary directory always available for the user.
B: Then, in desktop computer shell type
Code:
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp & chmod 776 su"
what makes the su binary executable: its ownership by default is set to shell.
C: Then in desktop computer shell type
Code:
adb shell "ls -l"
what will show you content and permissions on recently uploaded files.
D:
To apply a series of Android shell commands what require super-user rights you now would run
Code:
adb shell
export PATH=/data/local/tmp:$PATH"
su -c "<SHELL-CMD-HERE>"
....
su -c "<SHELL-CMD-HERE">
exit
BTW:
When in an Android shell another process like su gets started then this spawned process runs as a child process means it inherits most of the parent process attributes.
adb push allowed me to send the file
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
su: 1 file pushed. 1.2 MB/s (11640 bytes in 0.009s)
but the adb shell command is failing
Code:
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp & chmod 776 su"
chmod: su: No such file or directory
if I then log in over adb I don't seem to have permissions to do anything in data
Code:
adb shell
ls -al
drwxrwx--x 47 system system 4096 2022-09-02 16:31 data
cd data
ls -al
ls: .: Permission denied
additionally, I thought that su would need the suid bit set
Does chmod 766 acheive that?
oh this works
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
ls -al
total 18
drwxrwx--x 2 shell shell 3452 2022-09-02 16:32 .
drwxr-x--x 4 root root 3452 2022-07-27 03:04 ..
-rw-rw-rw- 1 shell shell 11640 2022-09-02 16:29 su
Code:
chmod 776 su
ls -al
total 18
drwxrwx--x 2 shell shell 3452 2022-09-02 16:32 .
drwxr-x--x 4 root root 3452 2022-07-27 03:04 ..
-rwxrwxrw- 1 shell shell 11640 2022-09-02 16:29 su
Code:
adb shell
export PATH=$PATH:/data/local/tmp
su
su: setgid failed: Operation not permitted
The device has separate boot_a, boot_b, dtbo_a, dtbo_b partitions.
If I could be reasonably sure that booting a boot partition from a similar device (I have one) would pick up the dtb from this device then I think I could be reasonably confident of not frying anything, I might try and boot it from fastboot.
