Dumb question, but I gotta ask it...
Are you running with the tools folder in your path, so you can execute adb commands from anywhere in the shell? Or are you actually *in* the tools directory as you run the command?
Either way, maybe you should try specifying the full path of recovery-ra-eris.img (as in C:\path\to\recovery-ra-eris.img or /path/to/recovery-ra-eris.img).

I have the tools directory open as im doing the command... i didnt have this problem last time i did this... so idk whats wrong

cd\
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb devices
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

Here are the steps I have used over and over, so try this. And I used this link for the recovery, so maybe download this one and give these commands and recovery a shot.

Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK
Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands: (MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS NOT MOUNTED TO YOUR COMPUTER OR THESE COMMANDS WON'T WORK! MAKE SURE IT IS ON "CHARGE ONLY")
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Type dir recovery-ra-eris.img in your c:\AndroidSDK\tools directory. If it comes back with nothing, then you actually put the file somewhere else (don't worry, happens to me from time to time).

whats with everybody elses free version of rom manager not flashing the alternate recovery? im still a huge fan of ease of use personally. and its always worked im too scared to flash using it but i always flash the recovery when they update just to check it out.
and fyi renaming the recovery to something simple like recovery.img always makes things in the terminal easier as the gentleman above had mentioned

Adb push is to send something to the phone. You needt to put that file in your tools directory on the computer, then navigate there as you demonstrated properly.
Adb push FILENAME /Location/
To access the shell
Adb shell
$ not root access
# root access
To mount the file system with th adb remount command, you need busybox installed. Otherwise you have to mount it from the shell (sorry don't have the long ass command memorized, but its all over here)

[Error] Unable to apply PUSH Command in ADB

Hello mates,
I am trying to Copy the BUSYBOX file to my /data/local/bin directory. But when i use the 'push' command it say adb: command not found. Hereby i have attached the image of my terminal.
Would you please help me in copying my files to the directory "/data/bin/local"
Also, where should i put the files which i need to copy. Eg. Since i need to copy 'busybox' to the /data/local/bin/, should i put the busybox in my Desktop, i.e. /home/android/platform-tools directory?

You should've not run the command from within the adb shell. Just go to the tools folder and type "adb push busybox data/local/bin" ofcourse without the ""
The busybox should be indeed be present in the folder from witch you run adb, in your case the "tool" folder.
Good luck!

@ErwinP.
Thanks for rectifying this mistake.
It worked.

You're welcome! I had to learn it the hard way myself, so I'm happy ik I can help someone! ;-)

some one help me pls?

can you help me with this module ??
make zip file who will work when i install in xrecovery?
Im noob and i dont know how to do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135965

just follow the instruction, there's nothing complicated...

??
- push ax8mt.ko to /system/lib/modules
how to do it. ??

just cut/paste it there using root explorer, or whatever file manager ur using.

What I do is rename x8gesture.ko to x8gesture.bak from /system/lib/modules and then rename ax8mt.ko to x8gesture.ko and copy it to /system/lib/modules , reboot and it work like a charm, no push, pull or adb shell commands, GL!!!

Hmm well renaming will also work since x8gesture.ko is already ismoded in hwconfig, but this is not advisable.
Well ill explain it to you so that you will not have to rename any other modules in the future.
- push ax8mt.ko to /system/lib/modules - push means to move, copy or paste.
- run the following command phone terminal or adb on pc
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8mt.ko - command to put the module in the system.
In your hwconfig.sh there is a line
insmod /system/lib/modules/x8gesture.ko that's why it works when you renamed ax8mt.ko

[Q] Permissions problem using adb to push app

I'm running a script to modify settings.db (found in the application forum) so that I can wirelessly tether and use the GPS on my phone while running Google Maps on the KF.
The script starts like this:
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell ./data/local/tmp/zergRush
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and works fine.
But I'm having problems running the script that others are having no problem with at this point in the script.
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
copy settings.db settings.bak
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='mock_location';"
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The script runs into permission errors. I have all the files in the same directory as adb in the platform-tools folder. adb is communicating with the device with the adb devices command. I run the .bat file from the folder while in a DOS command shell. And I get this error
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
failed to copy '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db' to './settings.db': Permission denied
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>copy settings.db settings.bak
The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='mock_location';"

Any idea what's going on?

i assume you'r at the $ prompt - if you type in su the prompt should change to #
perhaps a hint in the right direction ...
zergrush does'nt work anymore since 6.2.1 and burritoroot

I am not at any command prompt when running the script. I'm at the Windows prompt, and I just execute the script name?
Confused.

when you type adb or adb shell your mostly at the $ prompt
when you type su the promt usually changes to # - thats root access
i think you have to integrate that in your script ...

I added
adb shell su
to the start of my script, but then it just hangs at the root prompt.

if you have rooted with burritoroot try "adb root"

It says:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds

ok then i think you will have to try it with the su method - maybe "adb su" could work - it's just a try
otherwise i think you will have to write a second unix stile script (ending .sh) to do the stuff and call it from your dos script or run it in the adn shell - but i'm not the unix expert - sorry
i'm running out of time now - wish you much luck with your script !!!

Anyone else please?

Resolved.….

Resolved how? Very curious

Please, how did you solved the problem ???
thanks

would be interested too !

Here's how.
I was so frustrated, didn't seem to be able to achieve root status and use ADB. So, I bought root explorer, went to directory where settings.db file was, and copied it to sdcard folder on the KF. Then brought it over to my PC just over the USB connection (KF was a Windows drive).
In Windows, ran the part of the script that replaces the "0" with a "1". Then copied it back to the sdcard folder on the device, and used root explorer to move it back to its proper directory.
Only one caution. Make sure that you don't change the permissions or ownerships of the file, that they are the same as when you first grabbed it.
