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

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

Could you post steps to do this with fastboot?

Writing to /system/app...

I'm trying to push a file to /system/app but it's read-only. I know there's a command to allow me to write to it, but do I need to be rooted to do so? I'm attempting to put SprintZone.apk back in /system/app so I can update firmware. Feel free to PM me on this, too...I'm not doing so well hahaha.
Thanks,

Thanks for the tip. Can you let me know the proper adb commands to get this done? Also, after I'm finished, what are the commands to unmount?
Thanks!

Put the file in the android sdk tools folder
Use adb commands
Adb remount
Adb push exactfilename.apk /system/app

I think its something like this...
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then what I had to do was instead of the usual:
mv /sdcard/yourfile.ext /system/app/yourfile.ext
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had to type this:
busybox mv /sdcard/yourfile.ext /system/app/yourfile.ext
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it was either MV or CP
Sorry, I am not a programmer....

None of theese work for me and i have driver installed,sdk folder im using the right path but nothing it says adb not found 8(

I'm pretty sure you can just do this:
Adb shell
Su
Remount rw
That was enough to let me edit my build.Prop when root explorer wasn't remounting correctly.
Although I would recommend root explorer for stuff like this... remounts on the epic now and it let's you Remount in the application without adb. I think it's $0.99 in the market and we'll worth it.
Sent from my superphone using the XDA App

I second the suggestion of root explorer.

I've noticed weirdness using mv or cp sometimes even using -f.
This always worked for me without fail:
cat dir/file.ext > /system/app/file.ext
Of course, you'll need to type the proper dir(s) and file.

Thread moved to General.

What I had to type was

cd android-sdk-windows\tools
adb devices
Adb shell
Su
Then it dropped me to the #
Hope that helps. Btw, I'm running windows vista 64bit

hey don't feel bad I need boot img and system img to get my running again....or I just need to pop it in the microwave and call amazon and ask for a new one and start over

My Kindle is alive. If someone need this files too, they can be found in the Update.bin at Amazons website.
@crzyjoker13. Good luck with your device.

Here you go, pulled straight from the latest update...
It's just the files you requested, the file structure should be correct.

You can get them from Amazon's website. That's your best bet at this time.

Your need to get the device to be picked up by ADB and then push the files if your not able to boot into the actual system itself. Your have to ask someone else for the commands... but here's a snippet for services.odex the rest the files should be similar pieces of commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb reboot

step in the right direction

well hey this is a step in the right direction but all I need now Is to gain read write acess to /system and system/app abd I should bea able to push the old files back...my problem lies in the fact that es explorer tried to update and it messed up so I went to remove and just install the new version at the same time I was following the directions to put play market on the dev so now I can download and I have no file explorer
or if anyone know how I can push and execute an apk to the kindle I would be happy
thanks in advance

I was having the same problem as you are and was able to fix it by doing the following.
Download and extract the files NighthawkXL has provided.
From within the folder that you saved the files run command and do the following
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProvider.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProviderUi.odex /system/framework
exit
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
adb push DownloadProvider.apk /system/app
adb push DownloadProviderUi.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I think this will solve your problem with the downloads not working. Please keep in mind I have small amount of knowledge when it comes to rooting, but figured that it couldn't do more damage to it since it wasn't working.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin

Just downloaded .bin gonna check this out also. I didn't brick mine its usable but I screwed it up trying to take things off to get more memory and easier on battery. Runs ok now but I took off the system keyboard thinking the android keyboard file would be it the asop or whatever. So had to add Google keyboard which is better and the main navigation is gone with the back and menu key. ROFL. Using all in one gestures and omega status bar as a rig lmao.
adb install package.apk works fine after adb start-server with linux.
Theres app in 1 mobile market for moving .apk to /system/app folder.

For the discerning reader, the reason i havent posted a solution yet is that while i managed to get the device to boot, the image resized the partition to the size of the image so the /system cannot hold ANY additional...ANYTHING.
fastboot will not write a sparse image so im trying to figure out how to push the stock 11.3.2.1 .bin and reroot

Hello,
by mistake, i flashed the files for KFHD 2012 (Tate).
During my insuccessful operation, i also wiped the cache of the kindle.
I think that's the reason, why the script does not work.
Are there any news about your Factory Restore Tool and a rooted system.img?
Thank you.

Thanks kyleberry for the link! Then i'll have to wait for Gran PC's tool. Hope for a release soon.

How to reinstall FireOS
Botched your /system partition beyond recognition? Everything is broken? Dropped your #Kindle in a sea of piss and need to RMA it? Fear not! You can just reinstall FireOS and get it looking just as if we had never touched it!
First of all, you'll have to root your tablet. I'm assuming you know how to do this!
Once that's done, put this file -- https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin -- in /sdcard/ (you can use adb push).
Then run these commands:
adb shell
su
[email protected]:/# cp /sdcard/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin /cache/update.zip
[email protected]:/# echo --update_package=/cache/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
[email protected]:/# exit
[email protected]:/$ exit
adb reboot recovery
If everything went well, you should see the 'installing update' screen -- and once you're booted, we're back to stock! We did it!!!!!!
I did it slightly differently, I just renamed the bin on my pc first, and adb pushed it to /cache
I had to mount rootfs for r/w to do the adb push into /cache
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
chmod 777 /cache
