been trying to learn adb today, using the guide in tips/tricks.
I'm trying to do adb remount, but it comes up with remount failed: no such file or directory. any help?
Ok... Not to be an ass, but have you made sure that file/directory is in fact there?
Easiest way I find misspellings and such is type in "ls" (without the quotes...and that's an el not a capital eye) this command lists everything in the directory (pretty much the "dir"command in dos) then check spelling AND capitalization. Usually its a simple typo and fixed quick.

Thanks for your reply, and you dont sound like an ass
What file/directory should i be looking for?
This is what my screen looks like...
(should i set my phone to mount usb or no?) Its just set to debugging and mount is off
bump, any help on this would be much appreciated
Im trying to learn about ADB too, but lemme ask you a question... have u allowed Superuser Permissions on your phone? i think i had that problem few days ago and was because of that...
Ya, at first I didn't, but then i noticed the phone asking me and accepted.
Still cant remount though, and still have to type su after the dollar sign to get the #

I try to install apk packages like godzson dialer and clear_keyboard and i get errors.
I used apps installer and android dev
apps installer tells me It cannot install the app
android dev I run
adb install C:\clear_keyboard\system\app\HTC_IME.apk
I get
failure [install_parse_failed_unexpected_exception]
I searched for hours finding solutions that say i need to push the files to /system/apps and doing that there is permissions involved and I cant seem to touch anything in /system.
When I run chmod 777 /system i get an error saying unable to change read only file system.
I thought all of this was going to be simple tasks but it's getting really annoying any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for everything.
if yr installing through and use
Make sure phone is synced
Make sure app is in tool file I'd adk file
Make sure when at command prompt Ur in adk/tools file first
Adb remount
Adb push (app.apk) /system/(app/framework)
ok I figured out my problem but fixing it is going to be quite confusing. Looks like I would have to know a lot more than I do to fix it. Basically the adb is not reading the phone as root (or something like that). And the ro.secure is set to 1 which it should be set to 0 to be considerd root. So therefore I have to reinstall a bootimg. Ive been reading it on another forum page but i cant post it cause my account hasn't been verified yet. but it's this forum and here is the thread showthread.php?t=443041&page=2
but it's like french to me!!! If anyone can dumb this down for me I would really appreciate it lol thanks a lot you guys have been so much help in the little amount of time ive been a member to this forum. Thank you

First, put your apk's in your "C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\" Folder
Second open the cmd window and do "cd C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\"
Third do "adb remount"
Fourth "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app/"
that will install them
When remounting I get error
Code:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
but I continue anyway and the
Code:
adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app
sends the file with no problem but it doesn't install it though.
Here are steps to do if it is not already installed on your phone. However, if it is you can not install when it is already there. I'm not sure how to remove in terminal and everything I've tried it tells me read only blah, blah, blah...
I tried mount -o remount,rw /system---that is suppose to work.
1.Make sure anything you want installed is in
the root of the sdcard..(/sdcard/nameoffile.apk)
2. Download a terminal emulator from the market.
If it installs continue..If not then continue on back to the thread.
3. Open up the terminal emulator. It should ask permission from SU. >Always allow
4. Now type the following
su (hit enter)
install /sdcard/name_of_file.apk /system/app/name_of_file.apk----if it is a system app
If it is a downloaded app then use /data/app
Ok.... well I tried that way also and I get the error
Code:
install: not found
I downloaded the terminal app from the market and entered the commands as you said for ex.
Code:
install /sdcard/HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
Thanks a lot though I wish it could have been that easy.
Someone please help a noob, I cannot seem to be able to use adb in recovery after root.
I can type adb remount and it succeeds, then i type adb shell and get ~# instead of #.
Thanks in advance
It's just a prompt. You could change it yourself to something else if you wanted...
Code:
~# export PS1="> "
>
Now the prompt is > instead of whatever it was.
The # normally indicates you have root.
What are you trying to do? Did you try doing a command from that point on?
I am trying to restore internal memory on cm6, commands are not working.

You can tell from the flood of responses that no one is quite sure what you are actually doing.
Some specifics will most likely provide better support as to what you actually trying to do.
What commands, what were the responses etc... specifics. The prompt most likely has nothing to do with your problems.
Kinda like dropping off your car at the mechanics before hours and leaving a note "Car has intermittent problem, please fix".
Okay So ever since I have gotten my Epic a week ago I have felt like a total Noob. I came from an HTC HERO which I rooted manually. My wife has an HTC EVO which I rooted using UNREVOKED ONE CLICK (I know I cheated but she doesnt care). This Epic has me heading back to my roots lol. Either I am a total Noob and this is a simple fix and my dumb ass keeps overlooking it (which at this point I am hoping for) or my Epic is Effed and I need to send it back before my 30 days is up.
Basically my problem is that I cant Adb remount or Adb push to save my life. When I use Adb devices it lists my device so I know my phone is talking with my computer correctly. I first Odin'd to DK28 with the root and clockwork etc. Everything seemed fine except I like to swap stock fonts for custom fonts via Adb, simple things like that. Since I cant remount I figured something was either wrong with the Rom or the Root. So I just tried to load a custom ROM up and try my luck seeing as thats pretty simple. I loaded Epic Experience 2.0.06 and got it all set up as my Daily. Then I got busy and just used it for a few days continuing to tweak my Rom and get it all dialed in for daily use.
I wanted to try ViperRom and see what that was all about so I made a backup in Clockwork and loaded ViperROM with no problem. While ViperROM is pretty snappy its not really my taste so I figured I would wipe and restore my EE backup. No matter how many times I did the data wipe, cache, davlik etc my restore would boot up greeting me with force close after force close. So I ODIN'd back to stock 2.2 then used the one click root exploit to get root. it seems like it worked but still ADB problems continue to persist. I have tried everything I can possibly think or research via XDA but now I am out of ideas.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled ANDROID SDK 3 times 2 twice with "Accept-All" radio ticked and once with just the 2.1 and 2.2 goodies.
I have tried different cables none of which are stock. on every usb port on my computer all replicate the same issues: Adb devices shows up right but will not remount only run in shell. and when i run Adb shell it responds with $ first needing me to open su just to get the # symbol.
Any input is incredibly appreciated.
you know, I've had the same problem lately. --curious to know what's causing it.

Code:

We have a different method than the Hero did. If you've already tried that, lemme know. Works fine for me on stock rooted, Nebula, and (now) Bonsai.
Also, if that doesn't work, try it from a terminal app on the phone. I use it there more than anything.

Hey man thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. That didnt work either, on ADB or on Terminal Emulator. It responds correctly from both sources with:
Code:
remount rw
Remounting /system </dev/st19> in read/write mode
I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that the 64bit drivers dont install totally. this module called the "Abstract Control Module" hangs forever and doesn't install. However I ran over to my wifes 32 bit vista laptop where the drivers will install totally with no success either.
Hrm... That's very strange. It's telling you that it is working. What is the error you get when trying to move stuff from there? So, after remount rw'ing, cp something into a system folder and post those results.
Your output for remount rw is correct, so let's see where that goes.

Okay so here is what happened.
I just made a simple text file that was entitled "movetest.txt". I placed the file on the sdcard and used terminal emulator to push the files successfully to /system/etc
then I placed it in my C:/Android/tools dir and tried to adb push with no success so I ran shell and was able to succeed via shell here to the fonts dir in system.... here is the code:
Code:
c:\Android\tools> adb push movetest.txt /system/fonts
failed to copy 'movetest.txt' to '/system/fonts/movetest.txt': Permission denied
c:\Android\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# cp /sdcard/movetest.txt /system/fonts
cp /sdcard/movetest.txt /system/fonts

Okay since I'm not getting much love from the forum I'm guessing this is an uncommon occurance, in which case I am going to try one more thing before I send it back for a replacement. I am planning on going back to DI18 via odin then one click rooting. Then flashing the modem and other nessecary files to run 2.2 epic experience. Its the only possible thing I can think of that I haven't tried to address my problem. Thanks for the feedback I have gotten thus far.

That last one appears to have worked. Check and see if movetest.txt is in /system/fonts. If so, then you're in business. Just copy stuff across as root instead of pushing.
Well now I can use ADB fully. I odined back to stock then used the one click clockwork 3.0.0.05 ext4 batch then flashed Truley Epic Rebirth 1.2 and was able to remount correctly, push and pull all the way down to the root dir. I am not sure what changed but it just all of the sudden started working.... I'll take that lol

Well my issue was a bit different. I could get it show up with the "devices" command. When I tried to "adb remount" it would deny me. It would reply with "device not found". Which is really wierd because I could ADB shell with root access any day of the week. I just had to change my process to accommodate the limitation.
I would just ADB push files to the sdcard, mount into shell to gain full root permissions then finish my work.
Kind of a strange round about way of going about it but I learned quite a bit more linux commands that way lol

You might very well have ruined your tablet.
I'm not a developer or coder so I can't make any sense of the code you posted but if a reset didn't fix it then you've certainly deleted something important. Hopefully someone has some ideas.
If not, then maybe you can return it? And next time, don't delete something unless you know what it is you're deleting.
ok ive recovered from image, but now wifi is not working , what should i do?
There are posts about having to change file permissions to fix wifi. Search this forum, there are a few.
edit - linked post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074449&highlight=wifi+permission
yeah ive read this but i dont know how to move that files to system folder on devide, wifi is down , so i cant download any file managing apps from market and theres no any file managers on stock Rom
If you've got the adb working, you can use the command mv to move the file.
I'm not sure of the exact path involved, but for example. the file is in /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved and needs to go into /sytem/lib/modules
mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules
That'd put it in the location you need. To change the permissions, you'd use the command chmod
chmod 655 /system/lib/modules/filetobemoved
The 655 is an octal(0-7) representation of the file's permissions. I'm not sure what permissions it needs, but you could try 655 as a start unless someone else knows for sure.
if you want, hit me up on msn, I can try to walk you through it: [email protected]

No clue. I really should start reading up on HC app development and at least familiarize myself with that environment.
I haven't rooted yet cause I'm e'scarded to.
ahh i cant replace that files , somehow installed astro manager(through docsttogo) but i cant remove/replace/rename that files in system/lib/modules it says i dont have permission to do this.

type mount and paste/retype the line that has /system in it. It might be mounted read only.
or try the cp command in place of mv
edit - also, the filetobemoved is just an example. I think one of the filenames is bcm4329.ko but I'm not sure. so /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko would be the full path

Are you logged into the tablet using adb's shell? I've only used that once on a different tablet, but iirc the commands are standard Unix/Linux commands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you already logged in as superuser like this? You don't need to 'sudo' or 'su' to switch over do you?
I'm not familiar enough with this specific environment to figure out what might be keeping you from placing those files in that location. The command to check the partitions mount options is
mount
It should return a bunch of text, one line of which is gonna be the /system partition. If it's ro(read only) then you can't write to it and would need to remount it.
yeah it looks like it is "ro"
ive got /system ext4 ro
how to remount)
My knowledge of adb is limited as well. All I know is that I can connect to it, type: adb devices (in the command prompt) to make sure it sees my tab then 'adb push filename.extension /directory/structure' to force files... Conversly, I think adb pull filename.extension /directory/structure will grab files on the tab if you know what they are called and where they are located.

what was the /dev/block/mtdblock for /system?
there is a number after it...for example /dev/block/mtdblock1
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
would remount it read/write, provided that it is mtdblock1, change the number depending on what your device has.
yeah now /system have "rw", but it anyway refuses to copy using mv(failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"
) or astro manager

If cp won't put it there either, I'm out of ideas. Maybe ask in the other thread how they were able to copy/move the file and set the permissions?
I know it may not be really classy, but how about downloading an .apk That will let you mount the drive, to an sd card in a computer then transfer that to the Acer. (If it's an extreme case and nothing else will work..not condoning piracy, but don't know what would work...)
or is it possible to copy the system data from a Titanium backup and send it over so he can restore the missing files?
This following step I can't be responsible for it's safety. It looks safe to my eyes, but proceed having been forewarned. I did some research and you might be able to use dd to get the file there.
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/filname of=/system/lib/modules/filename

I do notice that my adb shell starts with $ instead of # but not sure what step I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to breath new life in this thing and don't have any account/market setup on it - so if I can do the rooting through this it'll be easier for me otherwise I'll go ahead and setup another G-account to do it that way if I have to :\
Try executing "adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp" and try again.
If doesn't work - try changing all /data/local/tmp references to /data/local

Unfortunately that's a no go... same error even with that
Then you're doing something wrong. Follow the guides EXACTLY. Don't do stuff that's not written, do the stuff that's written EXACTLY as it's written, verify that you're starting where the guides expect you to and have all the prerequisites, and it'll work. Your phone isn't different from any other phone, and if something that works for million others doesn't work for you - then you're doing something wrong.
For example, nobody asked you to get into ADB shell to run these commands you're running. You can't run "adb" while being inside ADB shell. Read the guide PROPERLY.

Thanks,
I did try to follow things to the T but diverted away from doing things -exactly- since starting with "adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/" command I keep getting a "cannot stat 'busybox': No such file or directory"
So in reality.. .THAT was my main issue which is leading to me trying other stuff such as the "adb shell" and not getting # (since I'm pushing files to gain root)
Turns out I'm now able to get "adb push" working on my files since.. I hate myself for it being this simple... I just had to "CD" into my /platform-tools folder since command prompt started in my documents folder by default thus it was looking there for my files
Welp, thanks for the help anyway. Seen this question lingering around in Google Search and hope this helps out someone else :good:
