How can I edit some xml files? I want to try the Gpu 1gz but my system fails to save the file once I open it.
I am rooted by the way
I don't think anyone really understands your post, so you haven't received any responses. XML files are just text files so any editor should work. You would need to be sure that you have read / write access to the file.

Ok, to make it more clear. I am trying to edit a XML file ( Yes Text file ) onthe Product/ETC folder.
The thing is once I open the file with any text editor, or even root browser and try to save the changes I made it gives an error saving file. Tge same thing goes to the Build.prob
If I edit something on it and try and save the changes they won't stick. All the access are correct, read and write permissions are set. Don't know why I can't save the files.
try to edit it on your sd card!
1.) copy xml file to sd
2.) edit and save to sd card
3.) rename original file to . bak
4.) copy xml file from sd card to target folder
5.) compare right permission management flag!!! (rw-r-r /644!)
6.) reboot
(use totalcommander app or similar for it!)
btw: if this doesn’t work for you, you can try the "fastboot" mode (adb shell and connected phone to your pc for it! - push/pull)
this should work going this way:
* you need usb drivers and mini adb to be installed.
* you have to connect phone to pc (debugging must be allowed!)
* check connection with > adb devices in fastboot mode
* if connected, you should be able to copy xml file to pc -> adb pull <source-path>/xxx.xml <target-path>
* then edit and safe xml to pc folder
* then copy file to phone -> adb push <source-path>/xxx.xml <target-path>
maybe you have to remount target folder r/w with:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /targetfolder
at first to be able to copy.
* set file permission with -> adb shell su -c "chmod -R 644 /target folder/xxx.xml"
BTW: following this description at your own risk!!! Maybe it doesn’t work!!
I have no own experiences with Mate 9!!

I don't have the .apk for HTC Navigation, but when/if you do get it, just to to system/app and rename your current nav application (i.e. navigation.apk.old) if you don't want it to show up in your app list, but don't want to uninstall.

hmm, could you kindly explain what "pushing" is, and how to do it?
my android pushing and pulling files.
for those of you new to android and adb.
ok here is the real answer
pulled directly from android developer tools.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance
You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.
To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use
adb pull <remote> <local>To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use
adb push <local> <remote>In the commands, <local> and <remote> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).
Here's an example:
adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt
How to push the file via your sd card
So for an example on pushing a file from a computer to phone make sure you are in recovery mode. And assuming you have the apk somewhere on your sd card. Open command prompt and navigate to your sdk-tools to use adb. THIS EXAMPLE IS STRAIGHT FROM FRESH THATS WHY I SAYS ..../FRESH-REMOVED-APKS/. That is just the location on your sd card so this is where you need to type where the file is. WHATEVERAPP.apk thats what the apk name is. Make sure that it is the same spelling and spacing/no spacing as well. notice the space after .apk as well. Now you are ready simply type the following commands (enter at the end of each line.) Last line is simply where your file is on your sdcard then the file name as it appears in the file on your sd card. Hope this helps!
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell mount /system
adb shell
cp /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks/WHATEVERAPP.apk /system/app
Okay, so i trying to push a file to my SGS4G... I thought i got it to work but when i went to find the file it was just some random file with no extension.
e.g. I typed (adb push FFFFFF.FFF /sdcard/download) it says the file was copied but when i go to my phone ffffff.fff is not there, instead a file called /sdcard/download
I followed these instructions....
A:android-sdk-windows installed
B: (on your phone) go to menu>settings>applications>developement and make sure usb debugging is checked.
C: the file you are pushing must be placed in the tools folder of adb so if you are pushing file "build.prop.txt" this needs to be downloaded/copy and pasted in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
1: go to run and type cmd (or just open your command prompt)
2: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
3: adb remount
4: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*
5: adb push FFFFFFF.FFF /#####/###### *i hope my notes help here you need to put the file name in for the F(s) and in the pound signs you put the destination on the devices example adb push build.prop.txt /system/bin
6. repeat step 3 for multiple files
7. adb reboot this is how you finish
What am i missing?
i see you are trying to push a file to your download folder on the sd card...
you can just drag and drop for stuff like this.
true true, not sure why i didnt think of that, i do it all the time... But would i use those instructions if i wanted to move a file say a recovery file to the bin directory?
i have never seen the need to use adb for this phone. it is not a nand locked device, so there is no real use for it (im speaking for users, not devs). if you want to push a file, jsut use root explorer or similar. thats all you need.
also, it seems to me like you are trying to get krylons cwm. just flash bali instead. no need for the recovery file or update.zip.
hey!
I try to backup my backup. So I want to copy my nandroid-files from internal-SD to my computer. everything is working fine, but the two big files from data (810MB) and system (1200MB) cant be copied. If I try it with normal USB-MTP windows just ignores my copy-attempt. With adb pull I get an error:
adb pull sdcard/TWRP TWRP
results in copying everything instead of system and data: "failed to copy FROM to DEST: Permission denied"
any ideas?
I'm using JMZ-kernel, dev-unlock, root.
forgot to say: Also no access via Airdroid and ES Explorer/Root Explorer. I tried to copy those files somewhere on the SD-card, also tried to put them in a zip file.
The backup is in a special folder with protection, so you need to set the correct rights to copy the files, I think.
You may use these commands in Adb console:
adb shell
su
chmod -R 777 data/media/0/TWRP/
exit
After this it is possible to copy the files

I was able to use Tasker with the "Secure Settings" plugin [to turn on ADB Over Network and Wireless ABD Enabled/Wifi+]
[But you could also do this on your phone if you don't want to install anything additional http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685736]
To send APKs to my phone via wifi I did the following:
First I put adb.exe in C:\adb\
Then I ran the follow reg file:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone\command]
@="C:\\adb\\connect-to-phone.bat & C:\\adb\\adb.exe install %1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Send to Phone]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Send to Phone\command]
@="C:\\adb\\connect-to-phone.bat & C:\\adb\\adb.exe push %1 /sdcard/"
If copying this setup exactly, you will also need to create the following file: C:\abd\connect-to-phone.bat
Code:
C:\adb\adb.exe disconnect&&C:\adb\adb.exe connect 192.168.1.101
[This is the static IP address of my phone, yours will probably be different] ^^
Does anyone know if there is a way to get this into the right click Send To > menu?
\\EDIT This script does not like file names with spaces, please make sure there are no special characters or spaces in the names of the files you are sending to the phone
Additionally, sometimes I've had to run it twice to get it to connect
Can someone please move this to the correct forum?
I was looking for this and I have modified above script to work properly for directories with spaces in its name. Simply change %1 in above script to \"%1\"
Thanks for the original version.
Make sure that whatever directory you point to one your phone already exists. It wont create a new folder for you.
In my case the above code became like this.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ADB Push to Phone]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ADB Push to Phone\command]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\\adb.exe push \"%1\" /sdcard/ADBPush/"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ADB Push to Phone]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ADB Push to Phone\command]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\\adb.exe push \"%1\" /sdcard/ADBPush/"
Install minimal adb and fastboot from xda if you dont have it. Change directories as suited to your system to point to adb.exe file. Location on phone must already exist. Edit in notepad, save as .reg file and install it.

yes just push the folder containing those files (you can leave a space at the end of your push command and specify a particular location in your android device)
