adb mount errors? - Hero CDMA General

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.

Help: lost the keyboard :(

I have updated modaco 1.3 and no keyboard on my Nexus One now, I have tried many time by holdding menu key or touch to input text but no keyboad show
Any ideas to resolved ?
I hope you made a nandroid back up because f you did then you can just restore and try flashing again. You could also grab an alternative keyboard from the. market or HTC_ime here
take the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk from /system/app/ in the ROM you are using and push it to system/app.
you can try
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.odex (if it exists)
adb push VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk /system/app/
adb push VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.odex /system/app/ (if the .odex exists)
adb shell reboot

Lost market apk

I don't have ES or Astro either, so when I do get the apk I won't be able to browse and install it. Any tips?
If you have an update.zip try to unzip it and taking out vending.apk (or something) that's what I did at least.

You can always install through adb if you have the Vending.apk. Just put the .apk into the tools directory of your SDK and type:
Code:
adb install Vending.apk
(Never tried this, but it should work??)
"adb install Vending.apk" will put the Market into /data/app, it's preferred to have it in /system/app.
So all you have to do is:
Code:
adb remount
adb push Vending.apk /system/app

Is the remount necessary? I've never quite understood what that does. I know it is required to successfully push files, but I've installed just fine without remount.
Also, thanks for the tip on how to install to other directories. I didn't know this was possible, but it makes sense
adb remount, makes /system writable.
Hi there,
I've the same problem, accidently deleted my market.
I've root and everything, though a very minor understanding about the adb.
Could some of you helpful guys give me some step by step instructions, please?

Uninstall WaveSecure system app?

Hi I have been trying all evening to remove com.wsandroid.apk from my phone, using terminal but I simply cannot. I've tried many different commands and I'm just being told either permission denied, directory not found/not empty. I have a Wildfire which is obviously rooted. Please help me out, tearing my hair out here.
So you're using modaco custom rom?
Download the latest version of HTC Sync and install. This will also install the adb drivers. (I presume you use windows, if not, I apologise)
Download the Android SDK
Put the phone in fastboot mode (Power+Volume down) and plug it into your computer.
When the drivers are installed, use the command prompt to navigate to the tools folder within the android sdk folder.
Type the following commands, pressing enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
cd app
rm -r com.wsandroid.apk
That should do it
I'm using the stock ROM but it is rooted with Unrevoked. I'll try these instructions anyway.
- Connect your phone to the PC
- Clear WaveScure's cache on the phone
- Open a command prompt
- go to run go to C:\androidSDK\tools and then run these 2 commands
1. adb remount
2. adb shell rm /system/app/*wsandroid*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm trying these settings, but when I get to adb remount, I get this error: remount failed: Operation not permitted
EDIT: I put the phone into recovery mode and mounted it and it said remount succeeded, I then followed step 2. both *wsandroid* and com.wsandroid.apk and it says that they cannot be found.
EDIT: Nevermind, deleted it
There's currently no write access to system partition using Unrevoked on Wildfire. So you can't remove it. You flashed it with update.zip? I'm not an expert (yet) but I assume the only way (or easiest way) to remove it is to flash your stock ROM again.

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.

I almost suggested that, but it seemed so janky. But what works, works!
Glad you got it running!
