adb mount errors?

I'm trying to go back to the stock HTC keyboard, and I have the new xda one installed. I'm using adb and i'm going to sdk directory, then typing:
adb devices
adb remount
adb uninstall HTC_IME.apk
adb install HTC_IME.apk (from my sdk directory)
When I try to uninstall, I get Failure in a next line. I try to install, then get Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
Anyone have any ideas? I tried putting the .apk on my sd and installing, and it would just say not installed, then with HTC Sync, I installed,but nothing happened..

try just pushing it to /system/app/ its not installing becuase its already intalled and it wont uninstall becuase there is no other keyboard for it to use
Code:
adb remount
adb push HTC_IME.apk (if its in your sdk tools folder) /system/app/
adb reboot
that should do it for you.

yeah sorry about the wrong section, i figured it would be helpful in the dev section for people who had just finished rooting and wanted to reinstall the original home.
but thats cool, and no problem with the title change.

I don't know if you want it or not, but the free ADW launcher is quite a lot nicer. More features and feels really fast.

I get a adb not found...
I'll try with another terminal app...
And the ADW launcher with the root is horrible (and the icon to show all hap is deleted when I put my finger on T_T)), I installed zeam launcher for the moment...
There isn't a way to exec all those command live at one time ? (like .bat for windows)

You will need the Android SDK to be able to use adb... and your phone has to be in 'debug' mode (Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging should be checked)

Hi i just used root explorer and copied the two files to system/app/
then changed permission to rw-r--r--
then rebooted phone and it worked

[REQ] ADB string for deleting stuff

Need to be able to delete files from the NAND ROM I'm using and Droid Explorer won't do it...unless I'm not doing something right. I suppose ADB is the only option to effectively remove files or install files. But what I need to know is, what is the commands for doing this? For example: MDJ kernels come with more than 2 modules. The Gauner kernel comes with 2 modules. Updating to an MDJ kernel puts in about 5 or 6 modules and if you go back to the Gauner module using the kernel install script, you still have the other MDJ modules hanging on. Droid Explorer won't delete anything and won't add anything. You can copy anything, but not delete or add in these NAND ROMs.
The only option I suppose is to use ADB. But that requires knowing what the commands are and I'm not a computer programmer. So I would be most grateful to anyone providing the commands to delete and add files.
Thanks in advance.

adb shell rm -rf "/path/to/file"

First make system r/w, can't remember command right now. And then.
Adb shell rm system/lib/modules/[libname.so without the [] ]

Thanks, guys.
I want to install the G2 launcher in Darkstone FroYo NAND. I will try to use the kernel "Install" script. What would be the string? Here is what the script shows for installing a zImage and modules. What should it be edited to to install the G2 launcher? The launcher is named "Launcher2" and it will be located on the root of the SD card. It will install to the system > app folder
EDIT - Actually, the launcher will be inside a folder on the root of the card along with the install script, adb and
AdbWinApi.dll.

Greetings. I need help. The phone is HONOR 20. The problem is that I can't find a description of "music" in the list. ADB delete works. But I don't want to uninstall another app. Maybe someone can sneeze? If I have to I can copy the whole list here.

That's one way of bringing us a nostalgic moment. Boy, the HD2 sure was something! But it's not the Honor 20. You may want to post your question in the Q&A section of the Honor 20 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-20/help
You may also want to make your question a bit clearer. Description of what "music" in what list? Perhaps it would be wise to add the "whole list" but if it's rather large, add it as an attached txt file or put it between CODE or HIDE tags if it's really big. Good luck!

Hello! Thank you for the comment! I solved the problem! I've cleaned up com.google.mediacenter!

keyboard install problems nook 1.2 rooted

I can't seem to get any other keyboards to work. I have a stock NC 1.2 that was rooted first with MiniRooter (I think it is called) that OC'd it with the 1.2 GHz Kernel and then I MN with the most recent one as it had more options I wanted. But I can't seem to get a keyboard to work.
I have the gingerbread keyboard and thumb keyboard apk's and put them both in system/app with Root Explorer, reboot and nothing, I have tried to manually install them by clicking and using the package installer, nothing. Don't know what is up. none of them show up in the nook color tools under keyboard, but they show up in the manage programs...

anyone? It doesn't seem to make sense and I don't know enough about Android to troubleshoot.

all i have to do to try new keyboards is:
1) download new kb from the market.
2) install the new kb.
3) go into settings and make sure the keyboard is checked.
4) go to a text field and long press.
5) keyboard options will appear.
6) check the kb you want to use.
thats it. thats all i have to do for a new keyboard.
not sure about pushing the kb apk into syetem/app maybe its best to just install them.

my problem is that when I go into settings it isn't there to be checked..

I'm pretty sure that you'll HAVE to use ADB. Here's what I just did with the SlideIT keyboard on rooted 1.2. I put the apk on C: of my PC. Then in adb typed:
Code:
cd \
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
adb reboot
After the Nook reboots go into NookColor Tools, tap Keyboards and you should see it there.
If we're talking about SlideIT downloaded from the Market, then in ADB you may need to do:
Code:
adb shell remount rw
adb pull /data/app/<application_name>.apk
adb rm /data/app/<application_name>.apk
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
adb chmod 644 /system/app/<application_name>.apk
adb shell remount ro
Then reboot >nookcolor tools>keyboards>slideit.

I can't get the first part to work, it says not found. Where do I put the apk? I have it on c: on my comp.

Which part specifically doesn't work?
Are you getting that after typing:
Code:
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
If so, try typing
Code:
adb kill-server
and try again
The apk is in the right place if it's in root on C: (and it is). Typing cd \ is pointing adb to look into C: for the apk you're trying to install. It's probably not the cleanest way to do it, but I've just always done it that way so people might wanna paint me silly.

no go, still says not found. I even renamed the apk to make sure I knew how many spaces and such...nothing...
hang on, I was in adb shell, went to normal root, I have to mount it as r/w first...
how do I do that lol
EDIT: Nevermind, I used rootexplorer to get it r/w and now the keyboard is there thanks a lot!

Are you in recovery or is your nook booted up?
Reboot your Nook and try
Code:
adb kill-server
again. Then
Code:
adb start-server
And attempt to install again. If that doesn't work, if your nook is still booted up (not in recovery), try:
Code:
adb remount
and try to install. If that doesn't work, try:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount
If you're trying to do this with your Nook booted into recovery, try:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtd3 /system
to get read/write and go from there.

how do i root now that i have gingerbread?

I have a Verizon tab that was rooted. I updated to gingerbread which removed root. Is there a way to root now that I have gingerbread?
Thanks!

you may try SuperOneClick 2.2 with ZergRush...

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I've had the same problem. I can't seem to find a method that works; this Tab isn't getting much attention at all anymore.

Telling me, I have gingerbread on mine and it does nothing but forceclose crap all over the place

I was able to get mine rooted by using the kernel from Galaxy Cubed 3 ROM. Downloaded the whole ROM and flashed only the kernel in heimdall. Then I used adb to push the correct files to the system and fixed permissions and rebooted. Worked great.
UPDATE:
If people want to know the adb commands I used, here they are:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/.
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb shell "dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox"
adb shell "chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox"
adb shell "chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox"
adb shell "/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin"
adb shell "rm -r /data/local/tmp/busybox"
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell "chown root.shell /system/bin/su"
adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/bin/su"
adb shell "rm /system/xbin/su"
adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/.
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/; rm *"
You can copy and paste these commands to a bat file and run it in a command prompt window. These were taken from a script used to root devices.
Here are links for the files you need. They are:
su
superuser.apk
busybox
They need to be placed in the same directory that you run the adb commands from.
SECOND UPDATE:
Rather than go through all this, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19678785
This is dsb9938's plain stock EI04 VZW ROM that is pre-rooted. Just flash in Heimdall and you are good to go. As long as you only wipe cache and dalvik, all your apps should stay intact.

Gingerbreak.apk should do the trick. Worked on my P1010

It did not work on my VZW Tab. Someone said it is because it only works on 2.3.3 and older gingerbread and we have 2.3.5.
BTW, look at my earlier post (second update) to get a really easy way to have rooted stock 2.3.5 VZW Tab.
