EDIT: PLEASE MOD CLOSE THREAD THANKS
hey man,same thing happened to me once.Your best bet is to get the sd out and put it on their from a reader or something like dat.I took my sd out and stuck it in my girlfriends's g1 and dragged it on there like dat.hope that helps
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.

Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell rm /sdcard/update.zip
adb push *filename* /sdcard/update.zip

Next time, just tell him what you're doing because he's not a mind reader and he probably knows another way to put it on your phone
try from recovery mount card
and put file in sdk tools folder
adb shell mount
adb push MyFaves.apk /system/app
or try
adb push MyFaves.apk /data/app

ok i found this tool on xda not sure where
if your running windows unzip install program move your file from the sd card to the pc
double click your MyFaves.apk hopefully your connect via usb and click install give it 30 sec and see if it installs
also go here and download sdk tools cause your gonna need them

Can't do it now no comp but ill try wen u go home in 5days.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before (I did search before posting), but there are a few widgets from the other Galaxy S phones that are rather nice, the weather clock in particular. I know there is a Fascinate dump out there, but can I just extract the apk and install it, or is there something else that I need to do. Any help is appreciated.

I would like to know this as well. Have subscribed to this thread.

Download the firmware that has those widgets and pull the apks and install them on your firmware of choice
If anyone does this post it please, if you link a how to ill do it.
Well, i pulled the APK's out of the ROM, but I'm not able to install them. I'm really new at this, so forgive me for the ignorance. there are ODEX files that accompany the apks...do i have to do something with those on order to install the widgets?
you'll need to use adb shell once you copy the files to a location on your internal sd card
you'll need to mount system as r/w first so do this, so:
adb shell
su (your device needs to be awake and unlocked so you can verify the SU request)
mount -o remount rw /system
cp /sdcard/xxxx.odex /system/app
cp /sdcard/xxxx.apk /system/app
reboot
the reboot is just for good measure. i've used this technique to get apps onto the phone, but as usual YMMV. If you post up the apk and odex files as a zip i'll give them a shot.

I had asked about putting the Samsung Touchwiz widgets on if using Launcher Pro. Was told no.
Would this method allow that for them?
Well, I've uploaded the files to Rapidshare, but thanks to the restrictions on my noob account, I can't link to the files.

OK, major problem.
I copied the ODEX and APK's to the System/App folder and rebooted...now my phone will get stuck at the "Galaxy S" logo page and the display stops working. connecting via USB to the computer allows me to access the system via ADB, but I can't get the display running. What's the command in ADB to remove the files I just copied over?
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19 /system
rm /system/app/[name of widget file].*

Thanks for that info. Phone is back to normal. Now, back to the topic at hand. Anyone had success at getting these widgets working on the Captivate?

Ok. So im touching up on my ADB. Messing around trying to transfer files and what not. Now when I try and push and file from my pc to my sdcard it errors me out saying Read-Only File System.
Command im doing is
adb push C:\Android\android.jpg /sdcard/android.jpg
Any ideas where im going wrong here? I have full root access, When I:
adb shell
su
I do not get permission denied... So dont get why this is happening.
Edit: Just looked more into it. I can push to the phone. Just not to the sdcard. I pushed to /data/local for giggles and it worked. Only gives me read only when pushing to the /sdcard.
Thanks for any info.
just tried mine and it worked fine. I first tried it with pushing a file from my sdk dir, and tried it with pushing a file from another directory on the drive. worked both times, not sure what to tell you.
p.s. I'm running the desire z rom
Yeah for some reason its only on the sdcard I cant write to.. USB Debugging is checked. Anyone have the slightest idea as to why I'm unable to write to my sdcard with this Read-only File system error?
Anyone know the shell command to mount the sd card as rw? Been trying to figure this thing out but it has me in a puzzle.

Are you making sure that you don't have media mounted? That would screw up /sdcard. For me, it's "umount /media/*; eject /dev/sde" then on the G2 disable USB storage, wait for it to remount the SD card.
If that still doesn't work, what does "adb shell mount" tell you?
Normally, like with /system, it's "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system", but I've never seen /sdcard mounted readonly, unless there are I/O errors (it's mounted to remount ro on failure). Have you tried rebooting your phone?

Is it possible that you are writing the command wrong? I noticed the slash is opposite on the second half of your command code.

Hi Every body,
In quit new in Android.
I just finaly rooted en S-Off my Desire.
Now I want to copy a file in to a system map, but I cant safe in that map.
Is there a way that I can Chmod the right, so I can Copy too their.
Check the file system you're trying to copy to, it might well be mounted as read-only. If you have permanent root you should be able to remount it as read/write.

You need to mount /system as read/write :
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Make your changes, then when you're done :
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /system

No, you need to remount the /system file system (/system/media/audio/notifications) is just a directory within that file system.
Then go into that directory and make any changes that you need to. Then remount it as read-only when you're done.

Check your steps again. I just created a new file in that directory fine.
Did the su work ?
You're not typing that "#" symbol, are you ? That's the command prompt when you're root.

The problem is ES File Explorer isn't running as the root user. So you can do a "chmod 777 /system/media/audio/notifications" then it will work.

Are you not comfortable doing it via the command line ? There is an "experimental" option within ES File Explorer to let it run as root, but I just tried it, and it doesn't work on the stock ROM.
I checked and it looks like one of the other main explorers, Astro, doesn't work as root either.
Maybe try the Root Explorer app (hmm, though I see you have to pay for it) ? Anyone else have recommendations ?

If you are willing to pay for the "Root Explorer" app, which you will find on the Android market, then that should do what you want (i.e. give you a file explorer app that will work as root).
