Any thoughts? Obviously I just have to reinstall AmazonMP3.apk from Titanium Backup and the update should apply, but was wondering if this error might allow me to copy the update files from the sd card or something? I'm waiting to reboot the phone in case anyone has any bright ideas.

I can't find my backup of amazonmp3.apk. Can anyone send it to me? It needs to be in /system/

Through terminal or adb? What exactly does the mount command do? I just installed adb last night and don't know how to use it yet.

If you're using the Recovery, to add/remove the apps in /system you must first mount /system. To add/remove apps while the system is active you should use command (windows)/terminal (linux) to 'adb remount' and then you can 'adb push appname.apk /system/app'

Got my popup for the 2nd update and tried those commands and it says "no device connected."
My phone and computer also don't seem to recognize each. Is it possible the update is disable usb debugging??
It won't let me remount! I'm doing with the system on because I can't figure out how to do it through recovery.
I'm getting:
remount failed: Operation not permitted.
If I try push it says "read only file system."
Now what??
I'm a total noooooooob at this, somebody give me a clue, lol.

I DO have root access, albeit on my oem Donut through Universal Androot. Rebooting in recovery and trying again yielded different results, but not quite success.
I finally used root explorer to copy the apk back to where it goes. Hopefully that's enough to satisfy the update check.

[Q] ADB and recovery mode

Firmware JP9, power-on to recovery mode => install update.zip => error can't mount sdcard => try to using adb for mounting sdcard manually but adb did not active.
One more thing, root using one click 1.5.5 OK for apps but can not achieve SU @ adb (and adb only work while boot into normal mode)
Any suggestion for install the update.zip from sdcard?

No more recovery for me either (I didn't flash the bootloader althrough).
When you use adb and type "su", the phone should prompt you a window.

root your phone using super one click 1.5.5 (Run the soft first, and click root wait until the software said that waitting devices... plug your phone to PC using usb cable and wait more 2'' or 5'' . DONE! It's safe and you can unroot as well)
you can using some missing command by busybox (the easiest way in install titanium backup and click the problems? button in the right bottom it will automatically install new busy box to your phone)
adb shell
$su
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system (change to your path to the gps.conf - with this command you can edit or replace the old file)
#busybox cp /sdcard/gps.conf /system/.../gps.conf
DONE
Good luk!

[HOWTO] Install Honeycomb Music Application On Froyo

First of all this is my first HowTo so please bear with me and my language
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about installing this app! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
I was trying to install Honeycomb music application on my lg p500 but simply installing the apk was not doing the job for p500 user
so i just searched a lot for installing this application on my rooted optimus one i found the procedure and i have just shortened it.
I was running this app on void echo but i should also run on other roms
but first have a look that how does this app look alike

Instruction of installing
Edit: before you continue, please backup the orignal Music.apk from /system/app in case the methods fails for you
edit : before you try steps below just give a try installing music.apk like any other apk. If installer gives u a error "application not installed" then follow these steps given below
a.) adb method (recommended)
1) First of all copy these 2 file in root of your sd card (click to download)
Music.apk
libjumper.so
2) turn on usb debugging in phone
3) now open adb shell and use these commands
Code:
adb shell
su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# cd sdcard
# cp Music.apk /system/app
# cp libjumper.so /system/lib
# reboot
(alternatively you can also write the above core in terminal emulator )
4 now the phone will reboot and you should have your music player replaced
if you did'nt find any changes or found music app missing repeat the above steps and reboot phone one more time
b.) directly through file manager(does'nt worked for me but you can try)
1) First of all copy these 2 file in root of your sd card (click to download)
Music.apk
libjumper.so
2) now open any rooted file explorer such as su file manager or root explorer
3) now copy libjumper.so and paste it in your system/lib folder (if you are not able to copy then pz check to mount the folder as r/w
4) now copy Music.apk to system/app folder ( it will replace the original app )
5) restart your phone
hope you liked the tutorial and i cannot guarantee it working on your phone though it work on every phone if steps followed correctly.

when i do it with adb. I get always a error message no such file/ or directory, but the two files are in the root folder of my sd card. Can you help me out?

ok just to be sure.. what if some error comes how do i restore it to previous music player

firs i follwed that proccedure

I deleted some files in root accidentally; now it won't boot.

I deleted some critical files in /system directory accidentally, and it force closed / shut off.
When I tried turning it back on, it never gets past the "kindle fire" screen.
Connecting it to the computer and using adb, su command doesn't work, mount doesn't work... but it can detect the device.
So... am I screwed?

Unless someone discovers, or Kindle support can give you, a way to load the software via the boot loader, you're probably bricked.
I'm not sure if the boot loader has this functionality. Has anyone successfully extracted it yet?

I was playing around last night replacing packages and I did something similar...where I got stuck in the same situation. What I was able to do (and was very happy/surprised it worked) was using the root process to get back in.
The one I used was the one with the script you run which does everything for you. I'm on a mac so I hacked the runmemac.sh script and add in a few lines after the /system mount point was remounted rw to push out the apk's I had swapped and make sure the permissions were set right. I kicked off the script and it proceeded to root my kindle (even though it was not necessary) and put my packages back.
It's an ugly way...I could have just ran the individual commands but I was being lazy. It also means you need the original packages you removed first in order to put them back. But it worked.
Basically find this section in the script:
echo "--- remounting /system"
./$varadb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
and add:
./$varadb push whatever.apk /system/app/
./$varadb shell "chown root.root /system/app/whatever.apk"
./$varadb shell "chmod 644 /system/app/whatever.apk"
If push doesn't work, you can try install. I had a few trial and errors in the process but that is from my last go around which worked...twice.

if you have busybox installed try adb shell first, then busybox mount.. like
adb shell

for me it wouldnt do the command unless i used busybox
or you could use the other..
busybox mount -o rw,remount /mnt/sdcard
but if your getting at least the adb console then all is not lost..

Didn't work either... I could've sworn I installed busybox as a method of rooting... >.>
Oh well... until recovery is out, guess this is just a $200 paperweight x.x.

I did it using a Mac to download the kindle software 6.1 update then usb connected the fire and it mounts on the Mac as a drive. Then drag the file into kindleupdates folder. Reboot will then run the update automatically.

I was having the same issues.. bootlooped/bricked after rooting, pretty sure I removed system files somehow when adding google apps. Anyway, my friend and I figured out how to recover it back to out of the box state. This is what fixed my Kindle. I just posted a thread on it here with all the steps: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257 hope it helps!

Has anyone had any luck writing the files from the Kindle 6.1 Update Rom dump to the Kindle fire?

What is Easy Installer?
Easy installer is a windows RUU imitate that helps you as user to install your Rom's with only 2 clicks. Fully automated!
For devs Easy installer helps to provide Rom's alternate to the recovery zip archive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How does Easy installer work?
Thats easy. The developer create a system img file of his rom and configure Easy installer easily with one config file. The package can provide like a normal rom.
The user run a little exe-file and the RUU installs the rom fully automated! If something runs false, the RUU gives the user an error and a explanation what he can to do now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What i need for Easy installer
For now, Easy Installer works only with image files, so you need your Rom as a image file. You can create a image file of your rom easily with mkyaffs.arm (find in attachements).
The config file is easy to understand. An example here (found in package too):
Code:
;The config file is neccessary for the RUU. Here you define all file namens.
[functions]
;imgfile specify, if you want to flash a image or a zip file (0=zip-file, 1=img-file). For now, only img files working, sry :(
imgfile=1
;waitbl set the time the RUU wait for the bootloader (fastboot). Some devices take a while to reboot to bootloader. Set the time here, in generally the time 10 is enough
waitbl=10
;the img-name specify the name of the image file without the file extension!
img-name=system
;zip-name is for one of the next versions, when it is possible to flash zip files. If you want, you can delete this
zip-name=HC_MIUI3.2
;boot-name specify the name of the boot.img without extension.
boot-name=boot
;set the name of the clockworkmod recovery file for your device here.
cwm-name=cwm
;rec-name is the original recovery of HTC that must be inserted for img-files. Put the name here without extension
rec-name=recovery
[labels]
;specify the shown rom-name in the RUU
rom-name=.sense
;the device name is the full name of the device the rom is for
device-name=Wildfire S
;some devices has more versions (marvel, marvelc, marvelct e.g.). Specify for what device your rom is.
device-code=marvel
The picture in the RUU is namend "PHONE.bmp" in package, you can replace with your own.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to create the system.img?
Well, thats is easy
1. Install your Rom you want to use in Easy Installer at your phone via the Recovery (don't start the Rom!!!)
2. Go to recovery, connect your phone via USB-Cable to computer
3. Download the mkfs.arm.zip (see attachements)
4. Create a new directory in your SD-Card (example: "build")
5. Copy the extracted file "mkfs" of the downloaded archive into the folder "build"
6. Insert the SD-Card into the phone
7. In recovery go to: "mounts&storage->mound /sdcard" or run following adb-command: adb mound /sdcard
8. run the following commands in adb one after one:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs /system /sdcard/build/system.img
9. Wait for the "Build OK."-message
10. Exit the adb shell via exit command and turn off the phone
11. Take the SD-Card of the phone and insert it into your PC
12. in the SD-Card's folder /build you will find a "system.img". Use this file for the easy installer

Will this work for all devices?
Any chances of bricking? Because many of users of Micromax A70 bricked their phone by a chinese flashing tool.
Burned from my laser torch using pencil cells

Sorry, i see now, that i posted this in false section. In genarally it works only for HTC devices which are unlocked or S-OFF, not for others!

How can I use the mkfs.arm?

it works only on ARM-based devices, like the HTC phones.
You must copy the file onto your sd-card e.g.:
adb push mkfs.arm /sdcard/build
After this you install your Rom on the device or copy the /system-files to the sd-card. Now you run following command:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs.arm /system /sdcard/system.img
ODER
./mkfs.arm /sdcard/build/system /sdcard/system.img
Then the file will build a system.img and copy it onto the sdcard for next use

Would like to know if this would work to ONelll123
Wipe everything
Flash Rom
Make Nandroid
Use Nandroid as ROM's Images
It seems much easier to me than having to go to shell and all Not meant to be an insult, just a recommendation/question

Hmm, it ia qn idea, but idk in what filesystem the backups are saved. If it is yaffs2 it can be that this works.
But you must do shell commands too. Its for secruity reasons and that this method used works.

it works only on ARM-based devices, like the HTC phones.
You must copy the file onto your sd-card e.g.:
adb push mkfs.arm /sdcard/build
After this you install your Rom on the device or copy the /system-files to the sd-card. Now you run following command:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs.arm /system /sdcard/system.img
ODER
./mkfs.arm /sdcard/build/system /sdcard/system.img
