[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.

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

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?

[Q] Question about RO /system/bin

Hello XDA need your support.I am trying to fix a bootloop but I cannot run the ADB SHELL - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) - when I try to insert the sh file with adb push it sends me Cannot Copy "Read-Only" system
I know I can unlock the /system with the shell codes but my urgent question is how I can insert this sh file because android cant find it
And the most important is then the ADB SHELL is needed for fastboot commands
Any Ideas ?

[Resolved] Andyroid Android emulator 4.1 [Root] "NEW"

This is the new version (4.1) of Andyroid Android emulator
Rooting this is the most easiest way I've found,
Install Andy 4.1
Download these attachments (below the thread)
extract these 2 files in the Andy installation Directory,
Run Andy
go to the installation folder with command prompt (admin privileged)
type (obviously without " ) " adb push su /system/xbin/su "
" adb shell chmod 06755 /system "
" adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su "
" adb install Superuser.apk "
check with root checker
Your Andy 4.1 will be fully rooted
Enjoy

[Completed] [Q] Help With Shell Scripting

I am trying to make a simple shell script and I am getting constant errors.
So i made a test.sh file and saved it in /data because /sdcard is excuetable protected.
The shell file contains:
#!/system/bin/sh
cd /sdcard
mkdir test
echo Done!
So then I typed the command chmod 777 /data/test.sh
And then /data/test.sh and it returned: tmp-mksh: /data/test.sh: No such file or directory
So then I tried running: sh /data/test.sh and it returned:
No such file or directoryrd
Done

I'm not an expert on this, could be an issue with the proper access rights.
Here is a thread about a similar issue with shell scripting: Android Development and Hacking Android Software Development sl4a shell script help.
Maybe this can help already.
And here is a general guide for using shel scripts: [GUIDE] Basic Unix/Linux command to use with ADB SHELL
If you have further questions about this topic, best to post in the Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Thread closed and thank you.

HOW to root qubo big one

i got a new qubo big one and wanted to root it

Your phone's Android OS is rooted as soon as the cmdlet named su - what by default is left off - is present in Android's file system and executable.
Hence add a suitable version of su to Android OS: can be done via ADB.

Please can I get a step by step

Instruction?

Please I need a step by step guide

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
