[Resolved] [Q] adb install results in "/sbin/sh: pm: not found"

I am using a rooted HTC G2 with Clockwork recovery and Cyanogenmod 6.1.1.
I broke my launcher, ADW EX, using Ninjamorph; the phone now gets stuck on the boot animation.
My planned solution was to use adb install to restore a backup of ADW EX.
Using adb pull I pulled a backup of ADW EX and placed in C:\
I mounted /system and /data in recovery
Using adb from recovery I entered adb shell and removed the broken ADW EX with:
rm /data/app/org.adwfreak.launcher-2.apk
Next, I exited adb shell and entered:
adb install C:\org.adwfreak.launcher-2.apk
This generated the error:
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
I cannot get past this error and successfully install the application. I am learning as I go, any direction or assistance is welcome. I miss my Android

Solved
In case any other doofus' run into this situation.
As I have now learned, the "adb install" command will not work from recovery.
Because I had broken my launcher, and I had no alternative launchers installed, there was no launcher to hand-off to after booting; the result was an endless boot animation. Calls and notifications could still be received, etc. Most importantly, the phone was no longer in recovery and "adb install" could be used.
adb install C:\org.adwfreak.launcher-2.apk
Press "home"
Fixed.

hi,
in adb shell type:
cd /system/bin
cp pm ap_process /sbin/
exit
and now try again to install/uninstall the app.

I am getting error at second command
/system/bin >> cp pm ap_process /sbin/
cp pm ap_process /sbin/
cp: can't stat 'pm': No such file or directory
cp: can't stat 'ap_process': No such file or directory
can you tell why

Sorry for my delay;
It's because the files (pm & ap_process) do not exist in /system/bin , try to locate them by "find" command:
adb shell
#find / -name ap_process
good luck

~ # find / -name ap_process
find: /sys/kernel/slab/L2TP/IP: No such file or directory
~ # exit
and now ?!!

Do you have root access? Have you installed busybox?

How to temp root nextbook 7p running 2.3.3

Figured out how to temp root my friends nextbook and get titanium backup working. Basically i followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173690
Download the htc flyer 16/32gb file and use that one. After you run the Run_ME_fre3vo_Root.bat File go to terminal and type su then hit enter.
You will get the notice that terminal has been granted superuser permission and you will be all set. Download titanium backup and install it .But remember everytime you reboot you will have to run the .bat again.
Thanks to Eugene373 for creating this tool. And thanks to #Teamwin
Htc Evo 4g rooted s-off cyanogenmod 7
Htc Flyer 16gb wifi rooted s-off Flyhigh rom
If i helped in anyway feel free to hit the thanks button

Or just use z4root. That's what I did on my Next6 while dumping the stock image.
By chance could I get a copy of the Next7's stock image?

temp root
tried z4root, i had no luck with gingerbread.

temp root
here is the system dump for nextbook7p
http://www.multiupload.com/6BY8BVS5BJ

Ok i followed the steps on there but im kinda confused on hoqw you managed to get it to work. The next book 7p always shows as a mountable disk when connected to my computer. On the link it says u need to change it to charge only. I tried ignoring that because the nexbook 7p cant charge via usb. But when i click run_me_fr3vo_root the terminal opens and it says wait-for-devices and thats all. So would u kind giving a more detailed explanation? Id aporeciate it alot cause ive been wanting to root this thing foreverrrrr (3 months lol)

Same here. I tried all of the methods that I could come across on the web with no luck. You would think that it would be a way to root the original factory rom and just flash the device with the rooted rom. That seems to be the only way.

pls help me to get it rooted
i tried Zroot and gingerbreak without sucess
after i tried superoneclick
without sucess
i have a bextbook next8P
pls help

[Q] Unable to install Ubuntu on rooted Nook (1.3)

I have been unable to properly load Ubuntu on my rooted Nook (1.3). I have searched the forum and found similar questions, but the resolution appeared to be using the "su" command (which I have done at all times). I have followed all of the instructions from the "How To Install Ubuntu Linux On Your Nook Color" link at addictivetips. However, I receive the errors below:
--------------------------------------------

Ubuntu Chroot Bootloader v0.1
Ubuntu Bootloader is now installed!
This process does NOT damage Android OS!
Original Installer by Charan Singh
Modified for Ubuntu Chroot by Max Lee at NexusOneHacks.net
To enter the Debian Linux console just type 'bootubuntu'
-------------------------------------------------------
After this oocurs, when I type "bootubuntu," everything appears to function correctly -- until I attempt to use "apt-get update" or "apt-get install tightvncserver." I receive several "Failed to fetch" errors. The same happens for "apt-get install lxde." When I use the command "vncserver –geometry 1024x600," I receive the error message "bash: vncserver: command not found"
My nook is properly rooted with manualnooter-4-6-16, and I have been able to run CM7 from an SD card. However, this issue has me perplexed. I believe there is something simple going on -- maybe my permissions are not properly set for the folders back at the "sh ./ubuntu.sh" stage?
Has anyone encountered this issue? As I previously mentioned, using the "su" command does not help (although my nook does indicate the "Superuser" status). Your help is greatly appreciated.

[Q] /system/bin/sh: tcpdump: No such file or directory

I have generated a **tcpdump** file to run on an Android device using [this guide][not able to post the link here]. Instead of `Fedora`, I made this file on `Ubuntu 12.04` .
Everything worked smoothly and **tcpdump** file was produced correctly. I copied `tcpdump` file at `/system/bin/` on Nexus-5 and ran following commands.
> adb shell
# ln -s /system/bin/tcpdump /system/xbin/tcpdump
# chmod 06755 /system/xbin/tcpdump
# reboot
After restarting computer, when I run `> adb shell tcpdump -h` , I get following error:
/system/bin/sh: tcpdump: No such file or directory
Can someone help me figure out the problem? Thanks!
