[Q] downgrading android software. stuck on command prompt

hiya everyone, im new on here and really need some help.
im trying to downgrade my android software so im able to root it. only problem being ive never used command prompt lol!!
the guide im using says:
Launch a Command Prompt window and browse to the location of the files extracted in Step 1.
Enter the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
You should now get the # prompt, indicating temporary root.
Enter these commands:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
but how do i browse for the files if ive stored them in my documents and in a folder called downgrade android.
many thanks

What device are you trying to downgrade and what version of Android are you currently on? If it's Gingerbread there is a oneclick root called gingerbreak that works for a lot of people.
More info needed really.

help!!

keeps saying not a batch file :s

Moving them into the SDK tools folder temporarily would make things easier and would mean only the file name needs to be typed rather than the specific location, try it out, I hope I remembered correctly

you can either modify the command like this:
adb push C:\users\[YOURUSERNAME]\My documents\downgrade\psneuter /data/local/tmp
or setup a locale path variable to the dir, where adb is stored as mentioned in THIS thread. (step 4)
Then you can simply cd to the dir, where your files are stored, and run adb from there (actually you can run adb from any dir then)

How to root Lava 46 ?

I have new phone lava but Root not support please help ?

An Android device's OS is rooted when SU binary ( AKA superuser, childish called root ) is present in Android's filesystem. Hence push a matching SU binary to Android OS, what can be done by means of ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb push <LOCATION-OF-SUITABLE-SU-BINARY-ON-COMPUTER> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"

Warning: any phone can listen to you

All apps that have been granted not only permanent, but also only potential access to the microphone can listen to everything, are a so-called wiretap, as long as they have not been closed and the phone is in operation.

Although your post is absolutely off-topic ...
The main rooting idea I posted in the mentioned thread is to get TEMPORARILY super-user rights on a Android device shell. Like a standard Linux shell, it allows you to interact with the device by executing commands from the shell. The Android shell can be accessed via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command tool from every desktop computer.
Requirements:
A PC with ADB installed to interact with your Android device.
How-to:
A: To run Android shell commands with super-user right from within the shell on desktop computer you have to run within desktop computer shell
Code:
adb wait-for-device
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 device temporary directory always available for the user.
B: Then, in desktop computer shell you type
Code:
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp & chmod 776 su"
[code]
what makes the [b]su[/b] binary executable: its ownership by default is set to shell.
C: Then in desktop computer shell you type
[code]
adb shell "ls -l"
what will show you content and permissions on recently uploaded files.
D:
To apply a series of shell commands what require super-user rights ( e.g. mount ) you now would run in desktop computer shell
[/code]
adb shell
export PATH=/data/local/tmp:$PATH"
su -c "<SHELL-CMD-HERE>"
....
su -c "<SHELL-CMD-HERE">
exit
[/code]

@xXx yYy , that helps tremendously.
