chmod boot_animation.xml ? - Hero, G2 Touch General

This is probably a noob question but I've searched and tinkered and I cant get this file altered or replaced. It's located on the device under /system/media. I've rooted my device(if this is relevant??). and copies he xml file first to my sd card and then to my pc where I've altered it(trying to get rid of the Orange logo) and now i want to copy it back to the Hero. So I've tried adb shell and then
> adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media
but that doesn't work I have also tried to chmod 777 boot_animation.xml but still no go. There has to be some way right?

Boot into recovery mode
Open cmd prompt, type
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention this will mount your sdcard in windows through recovery mode.
The command to send your file from your computer to your SD card is in my thread here.

A little help plz, how bout trying to push files to system\app? I'm trying to push HTC_IME.apk to system\app so I can use the new skin for it via Metamorph, But It says read only files... I already did remount but still didnt work... Anything I'm missing here?

Managed to delete my framework-res.apk

And now my tab only does a boot loop. I cant copy the stock one back over with ADB keeps giving me permission denied. I've tried everything. Any ideas? The only thing done to my tab is the clubtech flashing method to make phone calls, and its rooted, but I cant get shell root
Help
Put it on an sdcard (I'm sure you have other android phones to mount it with, or use ADB if the tab has it mounted)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/external_sd/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
That should do it. I assume in this that framework-res.apk is on the external SD card, and that the US tab mounts it in the same place. You could aslo use adb to push framework-res.apk to /data/framework-res.apk, and copy it from there.
My problem is that I wasn't getting root in the adb shell, managed to fix that and pushed the framework to the system booted just fine. Thanks man
Sent from the Galaxy Tab, that makes phone calls

Download here
Install the APK and run it.
For people getting "could not extract assets" error execute
adb shell rmdir /data/local/tmp
and then
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp

works for me
So just push the apk to the phone, install and you're done?
no need to "push", just stick it on your sd card and install

you need to execute the commands in the origional post via ADB with USB debugging enabled, because the location is in the system and ironicly you dont have the root privelages to delete them
I don't even know what ADB is....that's how much I know...

I have attached it to this post. ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. It is used to excecute commands on android devices. Just extract the zip, then open a command prompt and change to the directory of ADB, then excecute the commands.
if you get the error for esset you need to remove all the files inside to /data/local/tmp/
press: adb shell
press ls /data/local/tmp
and remove one by one the files as my example:
$ ls /data/local/tmp/
ls /data/local/tmp/
Superuser.apk
Gingerbreak
runscript
sysrun
$ rm /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
rm /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
$ rm /data/local/tmp/Gingerbreak
rm /data/local/tmp/Gingerbreak
$ rm /data/local/tmp/runscript
rm /data/local/tmp/runscript
$ rm /data/local/tmp/sysrun
rm /data/local/tmp/sysrun
and now try again with app and may it works (in my case, works)

maybe I should've mentioned I'm on a Mac computer with no access to windows....damn, this is so frustrating....
Ah... Its still possible you just have to get the android sdk for mac.
Get the SDK from here
Then in the tools folder ADB should be there
Then its commands as normal I think... not sure tho, don't have a mac.
Search around on here for tutorials, I'm sure someone has put up a tutorial on setting up adb on mac

[Q] Boot Animation WITHOUT Root -- /data/local permission denied

Hi there,
I'm looking to put a boot animation on my Nexus 7 without rooting it, similar to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580642
When I issue the adb command, it thinks for a while and appears to be doing something and then comes back with "failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/data/local/bootanimation.zip' : Permission denied" The command I'm using is adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
I've added adb to environment variables and my paths are also correct (bootanimation.zip is in the folder I've navigated to in cmd). I've also tried just putting bootanimation.zip into platform-tools. Is there something that I am missing that will allow me to do this, or is /data/local off limits in the N7?
I probably would've spent less time just rooting the thing, but I am trying to avoid that for now.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
i dont have a non-rooted N7 to test, but u may issue the following commands to see if u can access /data/local
adb shell
cd /data/local
ls

see if u get any error msg..

hey don't feel bad I need boot img and system img to get my running again....or I just need to pop it in the microwave and call amazon and ask for a new one and start over
My Kindle is alive. If someone need this files too, they can be found in the Update.bin at Amazons website.
@crzyjoker13. Good luck with your device.
Here you go, pulled straight from the latest update...
It's just the files you requested, the file structure should be correct.

You can get them from Amazon's website. That's your best bet at this time.

Your need to get the device to be picked up by ADB and then push the files if your not able to boot into the actual system itself. Your have to ask someone else for the commands... but here's a snippet for services.odex the rest the files should be similar pieces of commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb reboot
step in the right direction

well hey this is a step in the right direction but all I need now Is to gain read write acess to /system and system/app abd I should bea able to push the old files back...my problem lies in the fact that es explorer tried to update and it messed up so I went to remove and just install the new version at the same time I was following the directions to put play market on the dev so now I can download and I have no file explorer
or if anyone know how I can push and execute an apk to the kindle I would be happy
thanks in advance

I was having the same problem as you are and was able to fix it by doing the following.
Download and extract the files NighthawkXL has provided.
From within the folder that you saved the files run command and do the following
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProvider.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProviderUi.odex /system/framework
exit
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
adb push DownloadProvider.apk /system/app
adb push DownloadProviderUi.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I think this will solve your problem with the downloads not working. Please keep in mind I have small amount of knowledge when it comes to rooting, but figured that it couldn't do more damage to it since it wasn't working.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin
Just downloaded .bin gonna check this out also. I didn't brick mine its usable but I screwed it up trying to take things off to get more memory and easier on battery. Runs ok now but I took off the system keyboard thinking the android keyboard file would be it the asop or whatever. So had to add Google keyboard which is better and the main navigation is gone with the back and menu key. ROFL. Using all in one gestures and omega status bar as a rig lmao.
adb install package.apk works fine after adb start-server with linux.
Theres app in 1 mobile market for moving .apk to /system/app folder.
