All Uses For ADB For NON-ROOTED Eris

I jumped the gun installed the original and the latest 2.1 leaks, so I am not rooted. I just recently learned how to use the ADB push feature in the tools of the Android SDK to install a custom boot animation and I'm stoked at how awesome it works.
I was wondering what all you can use the ADB push feature for on a NON-rooted Eris. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks devs for all your hard work!

Adding custom boot images.

Thanks jcase! I was seriously hoping that there was there would be other things that I could use it for. Oh well, guess I'll just wait until the Official OTA 2.1 is released, then wait until you genius devs crack it open and get it rooted. Thanks again!

You can make a script to quickly install apps in mass.
#!/bin/sh
echo "Installing apps..."
./adb install apps/app1.apk
echo "app1 Installed."
./adb install apps/app2.apk
echo "app2 Installed."
./adb install apps/app3.apk
echo "app3 Installed."
./adb install apps/app4.apk
echo "app4 Installed."
./adb install apps/app5.apk
echo "app5 Installed."
echo "done"

I know this is an old thread, but I just got a replacement eris and i'm trying to avoid signing into the market before I root (for a completely clean install, probably doesn't matter, I'm just funny like that), in which case, I want to install 1-click root before I do anything. So, if someone could point me in the right direction to do an adb install on an un-rooted eris, that would be great.

No need to bypass activation, skip account setup, Settings->Applications->Unknown sources, Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging.
Then this plus this:
Code:
adb install erisone010.apk
You are making unnecessary work for yourself - if you want a Nandroid backup of the factory ROM in a near virginal state, root the phone with OneClick (so that a custom recovery gets installed) - NOT including insallation of the engtools (or rootme, whatever it is called), and then perform a factory reset afterwards. (That will clear accounts & account data from the phone, and you can then boot to the recovery to make a backup of the virginal ROM).

That's basically what I ended up doing (got impatient and didn't wait for a reply), except I did sign in to the market and picked up 1-click that way. Thanks for your reply though, to my question asked in an attempt to feed my OCD tendencies.

maybe give the app root access in superuser permissions

To clarify...
Click the "Allow" or "Always Allow" button. This shows up when an application is trying to perform a function that needs root access. Think of it like Windows Vista/7's UAC.

I got that with a BeHero rom, Villain shows some buttons to choose from, couldn't get it work with that rom, don't know why.

I had this problem with multiple roms, Just remember to do the proper method.

Use the ROM as you normally would, if you get the same problem, try another ROM..

[Q] sdcard permission denied

I have rooted my OG MyTouch 3g, so I am familiar with the process, and now I am trying to root my MyTouch 4g.
I am trying to:
Code:

Any suggestions?

Okay what Rooting process are you trying to follow? And in what step are you.
The main reason you are getting that error is the file "su" doesn't exist.... but if you answer the question above we can help you more.

Make sure you have ADB Debugging turned on
- Settings > applications > development
Make sure you have the SD Card mounted to the computer
Make sure you changed your ADB target folder to the one store that rooting package.
Those would be the three places i'd start if i were you.
However alot of people will contest that this method is simpler with a high percentage of "" when you are done with the rooting process.

Being that you are using a Mac you might run into some problems along the road. I've see quite a few "problematic" threads pop up regarding Mac and Android's ADB not working correctly.
you could also try This Method < it doesn't require the use of a PC @ all.

I did that other method and it seems to have worked.
Now do I continue with the walkthrough of installing cyanogen now that the phone is rooted?

Do you have a Super User icon on your screen?
If you do
-Downloaded Terminal Emulator from the market.
- go to it and type "su" you should get a window asking you to approve the Super User request.
If the dollar sign ($) changes to a pound (#) sign then you are rooted.
next turn off the phone and hold the volume down rocker and the power button that will boot into engineering scree (HBoot) look on the top line and see if you have "s=off"...
If the s=off then you are perma rooted w/o the security check. temp root with VISIONary one last time, then install Clockwork ROM Manager and change the Recovery Image to 3.0.0.06 (Here or Here) From their you can do what you want to do regarding Cyanogen(mod).
*The reason i recommend flashing 3.0.0.6 prior to flashing it ROMs is it handles 2.2 (ext3) and 2.3 (ext4) style roms. Where every other version is either or, not both.

I sucessfully installed cyanogen, and everything seems to be working correctly, but i must not have installed the google apps, and i do have the market place to download them again.
Where can i get those from?
EDIT: I found them.

wipe (factory reset) before flashing the g/apps via the recovery image.

I had found them before, but the market wasn't working, and I was trying to sync my contacts back to the phone from my gmail account. I didn't do a factory reset through, so I'm trying again. Hopefully it works this time.

I'm guessing the market isn't working because I haven't signed in with my gmail account.
Any idea on how to set that back up?

Use this command to get your root changes to persist after a reboot

Thanks and all credit to Nameless One for the heads-up!
As found here - run this adb command to get changes to survive a reboot:
Code:
adb shell reboot disemmcwp
It seems there's system write protection enabled. That command will disable it. I changed my DPI and emojis and can confirm that both changes stuck!

Cool Awsome!! Now my phone is working properly with ROOT.

Is this step still needed? Been following the links on DrakenFX's thread that lead me here.
Thanks guys. The dev is much appreciated as is the guide pulling everything together.

Whether it is done by a script (if so there should be clear indication that it does this so people know where they stand in the overall process) or by hand it still needs to be done, it is a completely separate issue from whether or not the boot-loader is unlocked or the phone rooted.

Already did it. :cyclops:

Is this only needed if your bootloader is locked but you still wanna root ?

Ugh, so this was the reason why I couldn't uninstall system apps even w/ a system app uninstaller....
So developer unfriendly :/

Haha needed to do this on the official root for EU as well.

Yay, thanks guys! got adaway running. Starting to feel like home again..now to backup it before I screw it up..

Boot into A7, enable developer options and enable USB Debugging, connect to computer, accept the computer's debugging signature on your A7 (if you've never gotten a pop-up that you've had to accept, it's not connected properly), type in "adb devices" in a command prompt to make sure that the device is showing up, and if it is, issue the OP's command.

When I plug the phone into the laptop, the phone has a popup that sks me which mode I want to use the phone.
I choose Media device MTP. I also tried the mode called connect to PC software. Both times, the phone is recognized by ADB.
yet it will not fix the permissions

Go into the app's permissions list and make sure that the Storage permissions is allowed.
If that doesn't work, then try using a different app all together.

I am thinking the problem is that ZTE put a lock on system files so no one can delete them or modify them.
There is suppose to be some kind of way to turn that off but I cant seem to do it on my phone.

Can you tell me if your phone is rooted? what update version si your phone? Mine is 27.
Did you do this permission fix before or after root? did you use an emulator to do the fix or adb?

Disable System Update

Hi,
I have a rooted OP8P running Magisk 21.0 (21000), and using Magisk Manager 8.0.2 (307)(11). My OS build is Oxygen OS 10.5.13.IN11AA(enhanced by xXx_NoLimits_ 12.3).
I keep getting the pesky notification to Update to Oxygen OS 11.IN1AA, the one that gives me the option to "Download and Install Now". I have no plans nor any desire to go to Android 11 as of yet, so I would like to do two things, stop this notification from showing up, and ensure that the update doesn't install itself.
Normally, I wouldn't worry about it updating without some user input but just today I got a second notification telling me that "System update installation failed" prompting me to "Try Again"(See attached pic). This is both good and bad I suppose, but it's still troubling since this newest notification indicates that it tried to update without me knowing about it. This simply will not do.
Any advice? I know it's not as simple as disabling the notification, as it doesn't allow me to do so.
Thanks!

I'm seeing the same and contemplated the same question. What are your reasons for avoiding the upgrade?
p.s. I can think about a way of disabling system notifications (using root access), but I worry about missing important notifications, so I left this pesky message on.

I just don't see any real reason to update, OOS 10 is working fine for me. From what I've seen OOS 11 doesn't bring anything compelling enough to the table to make me to want to upgrade. Also, OOS 10 has been around long enough that there are robust resources and development communities built around it, meaning more reliable troubleshooting and overall easier research. On top of all that, having to factory reset and re-root to avoid potential bugs due to OOS 10 residuals isn't very attractive either.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love the feeling and idea of being on the bleeding edge as much as the next guy, but I'd rather all my ducks be in a row beforehand...if that makes any sense.

Can you freeze the app in titanium??

Freezing System Update 2.2.3... did the trick for me.

That makes sense. If you have to factory reset, how would you restore your data? AFAIK, there not yet TWRP for Android 11, which means relying on something else. This make me nervous...

That's an apk OnePlus released which may help you guys in this situation. If you check news in the Oxygen updater, there's an in depth article about it.
Major failing on OnePlus' part.
Here's the apk they're referring to, apparently it stops the update forcing wipes from OB3 not to go ahead.

Why did you format, did you update to OOS 11?
Also, when running the command line, make sure you open the command prompt within the same folder as your ADB files.

first run the command
Code:
adb devices
to ensure that you phone is connected, and that you have the proper drivers are installed.
Then, make sure that your phone is unlocked (not the bootloader, just actually unlocked so the screen is on). After running that above command, you should see a popup come up on your phone screen asking you to allow permission to your computer. Tap "always allow" checkbox and grant the permissions.
Now try to run the command again.
