ADB Uninstall Failure

I adb pushed some .apks from a Froyo zip onto my mytouch1.2 but they didnt work...
when I try to uninstall them I get a failure message... and when I try adb shell... blah blah blah..."ls" the files arent there...
any help is appreciated

how to uninstall
I've tried a few methods.
The one I've found that works the best is this : mv <source> <destination> ...it's supposed to be a move command but it actually deletes files. rm also likely does the same (eg rm <filename.filetype OR foldername>)
BEFORE using these commands though, type in
adb shell <enter>
cd <foldername> <enter>
cd <foldername> <enter>....to get to folder (directory) of your choice
**TO get to app directory to uninstall apps, do cd system -->cd app -->mv appname.apk
I use the /sdcard as the destination for the mv command - I noticed the files NEVER get moved so this is just a delete command.
You could also delete a whole folder with this command. do cd system
mv app /sdcard
(this would delete the entire app folder/directory from the device).
That's pretty much it. Works for me. Was trial and error though - adb uninstall command ALWAYS resulted in 'failure ' or 'file not found' and the same with adb shell --> # uninstall appname.apk ---> 'failure'.
So I hope this works for you! Good luck .

NOTE: I've had an awful time because my stupid tablet has refused to download things from the market. It stalls in the initial 'starting download' bit and then just hangs, and then says 'download failed'. Apparently there's some problem with the sync'ing but I can't log into Gmail or GoogleTalk to try to resolve this (Gmail won't allow me to enter anything - left it on overnight and it said 'getting mail' / 'sync in progress' and the sync never completed after 12 hrs. The GoogleTalk app just displayed a black screen. So I am getting nowhere.
if anyone knows how to fix this pls let me know. I'm apparently not the only one. Others /various tablets have had similar issues - I have a 7" BPDN (Pandigital black novel).
Please, help!

adb shell <enter>
then
cd system
cd app
mv <filename.apk> <destination> (this should move the file BUT it never shows up in destination or elsewhere, so this is effectively a delete command, you could also do mv <foldername> <destination> to delete a whole folder.
**I usu. use /sdcard as my destination. so mv filename.apk /sdcard
OR
cd system
cd app
rm <filename.filetype> does the same sort of thing.
(eg adb shell <enter>
**I tried the uninstall commands listed but.. (adb uninstall-->'failure', or 'file not found' etc, adb shell --> uninstall --> same error).

Commands for removing apps.
I run as root on all my OS's, so I don't have to navigate to my sdk directory. I just type "adb devices", I don't know how your adb is setup, but get adb running and run these commands.
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/whatever.apk
Or whatever path you pushed the files to. Try running fix_permissions to make your apps run properly and stop FC issues

[Q] error: more than one device and emulator???[SOLVED]

So i'm trying to root my asus transformer by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106587
i got to the part where it says to type the following command
Code:
adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local/
but i get the error
Code:
C:\Android>adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local/
error: more than one device and emulator
I ran adb devices to see what devices it recognises and it says
Code:
C:\Android>adb devices
List of devices attached
304D197CC264A27E device
28841c943012497 device
what now

unplug one of your devices (maybe your phone?) or use
Code:
adb -s 304D197CC264A27E push gingerbreakBB /data/local/
you might have to swap the serial number, depending what you have plugged in.

thanks mate it seemed like it rooted but it didnt lol. i got the progress bar on when i rebooted the device but it doesnt seem to be rooted hhmmmm any ideas?

Sorry, not sure... maybe your phone is rooted instead :0

I had the same issue when I've tried to room my XT1032 (Moto G)... I fail to install with the SuperBoot way! So I've decide to install CWM and a modified recovery.
On my first try, I receive this message:

After, I've plug back my XT1033 via USB and launch the command:

So, I've finish my installation with

Got stuck with htc logo after the LeeDroid flash on my HTC
Hi All,
Good morning. I am very new with Android, I did the flash rom using Leedroid 4.3.0 I can flash it ok, but it said I use s-off so I need to extract the boot.img from rom.zip and flash it.
I have no idea how to flash it. Can anyone guide me step by step.
I tried the ADB.exe with CMD but no luck, although it say (sending boot <3853 kb> ... okay, writing boot... OKAY, I still cannot get it to work, after reboot, I still got stuck with htc logo.
I am using HTC flyer, HBOOT 6.10.1002
Thank you in advance for your help

you need to flash it when you are in bootloader using fastboot command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You are my first teacher......enjoyed it....Thanks a lot...

Incredible s stuck on loading
Hey All,
Here is my story -
Never felt the need of rooting my phone, until one of my relatives, done that for me. If I ever knew, that i will have so many problems, I would have never let him do that.
Moving on, I couldn't find a rom fitting myself, always had bugs, used too much of my battery, or so on. Got tired losing everything, everytime i had to change the rom, after finding a bug i couldn't stand. So, I came back to original rom 2.3.5. Thought i will just update and will have S-off phone with original software.
Somehow it didn't let me update, I stayed with that for few months, then one day i decided i can't stand the old soft, and started working on getting my phone back to s-on and original rom. Used Android flasher to flash this file engHBOOToverARX . The next step was to flash the original rom, via
Android flasher. But i couldn't find it on internet. Therefore i thought it's just gonna be easier and faster that i'll just go and scan for the update.
It found and finally was updating when I was happy i'll get back to normal phone. Unfortunately, It wouldn't load the software anymore, only the white screen with the HTC logo.
Bootloader still says

But it looks like it can not find the device.
My phone is connected to the computer via usb cable and on the bootloader menu.
PLEASE HELP ASAP.
I am using my old Nokia 6310i as the backup plan at the moment, and believe me it is not fun at all, uxcept the fact that I make everyone laugh

that's a little bit difficult ..thanks

The OP is NOT going to rewrite his guide just for you after 6 months. Also, the difference between using '\' and '/' depends on whether you are using Windows or Linux - if you can't work that out then I would also suggest that you leave your device alone before you destroy it.

by the way .. in less than 1 hrs I used his guide to install programs from my PC (& I had no previous knowledge even where to start command prompt) on my old galaxy i5700 (use it for trials) ... I installed the programs using "adb install ....." & every thing is OK ... & I had successfully rooted my galaxy s6102 using another thread (not the one click programs) also every thing is OK ... I'd like to tell you I know about (rooting) less than 2 days ago ... so I think this is a good start for me ..... SO .. it would be appreciated to anyone who could answer me in short just showing little pit details & the pitfalls to avoid ...
also I thought"\" is where I copy from &"/" where I copy to i.e. concerning the direction of the path ... but I wasn't sure so I needed to get that explained
thanks for help but let OP take the decision HIMSELF.

If my USB debugging was off occurred when the soft brick, is there any way to get access via ADB?
My softbrick was caused by a bad file (framework-res.apk).
Is there any way to replace this file?

Nice work mOh19973 :good:
Your guide came in really handy for rooting the Nabi 2 that we got my son for Christmas. He'll be really excited once he sees that the Google play store is now available
Thanks,

When I go to command and type in adb.exe i get an error. Also when I try to download the file it doesn't let me have the option of saving the file to platform-tools. I have to move it there myself and then I extract the files. I've done this several different times and still keep coming up with same results on the command prompt! Please help!!!! Been working on this for 4 hours!!!

Once in directory you do not type adb.exe. just type
Adb devices
If your Android device is hooked into the USB it should be listed

I am having major troubles trying to root my nabi 2 tablet. I tried replying on the actual thread but it wouldnt let me. If anyone can help me out please do. I've tried 2 ways which are pretty much the exact same.
1. download pdanet - install (whilst tablet is plugged in) and chose samsung and it shows up in devices as working fine
2. downloaded platform-tools and made SDK and platform-tools folder. I have the install files as well
3. Run cmd type cd C:\SDK\platform-tools. type adb.exe and it loads in.
4. Run install and chose option 1.
It goes to the option where I choose reboot kernal then it restarts and I get the green android icon with the red triangle with esclamation mark in it.
What am I doing wrong its been doing my head in for 3 days now if anyone can help it would be great. thanks

This is the Desire S forum. You may have been directed here, but we don't use Nabi tablets I'm afraid.

How prevent from Auto upgrading to Oreo?

I turned off Auto download on WiFi, but I'm not confident it will stop update to Oreo.
Anyone know if/what I need to do to prevent the update?

I found in Developer Options an auto system update option that I turned off but it still updated. Dammit!
No help from anyone here either. Maybe it can't be prevented.

I have deactivated network access for the app „System Update“ and deactivated the search for updates from within the update app.
Seems to work.

I'll keep that in mind if it happens again.
Update on turning off updates in Developer options: I have since found this to be what happens after turning off auto update in dev options:
It downloads the update
It puts a notice up that it has upgraded and I need to boot (that was when I posted about it still updating)
But turns out it does not actually perform the update.
It is a bit annoying. I get that notice and it remains in the notifications, even though I have gone in and turned off that notification. As long as it doesn't update, I guess I can live with it.
As it's already downloaded, I'd say your options won't help me at this point.

To get rid oft the notification, open Settings » Apps and delete data an cache oft the Systemupdate app. Then continue restricting its network access ( all three options) and notifications. To be sure, disable its ability to change system settings.

I presume I disable network access under networked apps menu. The only access listed there is mobile. I would think it could still get there when hooked to Wi-Fi.
Do not see an app called update for which to disable search. But I have applied all of your other suggestions, and appreciate your help.

without root : adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc
Done !

I was surprised...just got another prompt to update. Wanted access to photos. I denied and cancelled. I haven't had that particular promo for a while. I bet outs prompting now because I deleted the download. Although I have auto update turned off in developer options.

Ok. Thanks. I'll have to get the appropriate stuff installed on the PC to do that. Since moving to this phone from Samsungs, I've not used any of that stuff, or done any rooting (I do miss root a bit).

But I can't get ADB to recognize the phone. I have USB Debugging turned on. I have Hisuite able to see it. But ADB does not see it.
When I search Google for how to do ADB on the Mate 9, I keep getting led to info about installing fastboot. When I go to the Huwaei site to download the fastboot / adb stuff, the site freezes.
Any suggestions?

I don't know what was going on. AFter posting, I was chasing USB drivers. But I was having problems finding them to download too. I tried it again though, and it is now working. Not sure what was going on.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

To disable System Update, use:
adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.hwouc
If you ever want to enable it back, simply go to Settings, Apps, check to show System apps and services, scroll to System Update and Enable

So I did a list of the command parameters, and do not even see anywhere that -existing would be used.
Can someone please provide me correct command to re-install the com.huawei.android.hwouc?

Make sure to have ADB USB debugging enabled in Development menu. PC must be granted for debugging (from the phone side).
Ofc, drivers, etc must be installed to the PC - Minimal ADB and Fastboot package (search on XDA) will do

Problem is, I have already run the delete cmd from earlier in the thread (a reply to my original post here.) Now I need to reinstall. The post I quoted supposedly is how to do that, but I'm getting the errors noted. Going forward I will do it per your suggestion.
Hoping someone can give me correct syntax to revive the update functionality.

There is no ADB delete cmd - could you be precise and quote exactly the command you originally used?
And the ROGHT commands for ADB re-enabling and re-installing are e.g in my previous post, there are no other 'correct syntax' commands (Google search is also your friend)
If your ADB does not recognize
adb shell cmd package install-existing ...
then something is wrong with your ADB installation on PC or settings on the phone.
Follow the first link in my previous answer and set/install ADB exactly as described in the XDA article
Ofc, if you rooted the phone and you really DELETED hwouc, then you can not reinstall by ADB - but then ADB would not complain that it did not recognize the command but would complain that package did not exist

Question BBS lockup/bootloop recovery and fix guidance

I am on A13 on a pixie 7 pro running the November update and the kirisakura kernel. I’m rooted with magisk v24.2 with lsposed latest version using aosp mods and xprivacy lua. I had bbs v.24 and it wasn’t working. I updated to the latest version on play store. The app had already been granted root with the old version. The new version didn’t request root permission. BBS did flag me with the message that it needed more permissions. I entered:
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.DUMP
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS (needed starting on Lolipop)
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy_pre_p_apps 0
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy_p_apps 1
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 1
Notice I modified the global hidden api policy to a 0 above because I thought this was some global setting.
At first the device would boot but return right to the Lock Screen upon entering my PIN. After entering safe mode I can get in the phone but after a few seconds or minutes of booting up the UI freezes up and I have to get reboot. I imagine when something starts up now I’m getting the issue.
Any idea of how I fix this up? Any ideas or guidance is appreciated.

The lock screen thing happened with aosp mods. But an update fixed it.

the phone will run in safe mode. i can get in long enough to uninstall magisk- and i did- but it still freezes after 30 seconds or so and then reboots after being frozen for another 30 seconds. i am running and adb logcat but have no idea what to look for
