my phone is looping because i intalled a theme and it had an error on the update. i was wondering is there a way to get the file that i downloaded which was JF from my desktop to my G1?
ADB is working when my phone is looping.
Thanks
EDIT: PLEASE MOD CLOSE THREAD THANKS
hey man,same thing happened to me once.Your best bet is to get the sd out and put it on their from a reader or something like dat.I took my sd out and stuck it in my girlfriends's g1 and dragged it on there like dat.hope that helps
Boot into recovery mode
Open cmd prompt, type
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention this will mount your sdcard in windows through recovery mode.
The command to send your file from your computer to your SD card is in my thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell rm /sdcard/update.zip
adb push *filename* /sdcard/update.zip

THIS IS THREAD CLOSE
Edit: Nevermind this... I figured it out
A little help plz, how bout trying to push files to system\app? I'm trying to push HTC_IME.apk to system\app so I can use the new skin for it via Metamorph, But It says read only files... I already did remount but still didnt work... Anything I'm missing here?
How can you do it in terminal.
Assuming you have the apk in the root of your SD card
su
then whatever the command is to mount /system (I can't remember at the moment)
cp /sdcard/xxxx.apk /system/app/
That's it.
when i try to mount it says device or resource busy.

Any chance you have your phone plugged into your computer and the sd card mounted?
no i dont. is it easier that way?
Remount first
Adb remount
Adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app

alright thanks. got it
Okay, it will be kinda noob-ish but I searched but couldn't find anything. I have latest liberated rom rooted with unrevoked and I cant push anything to /system/customize or wherever on the phone storage. Cant adb push, when I try to remount with write access phone restarts. Any suggestions?
Code:
C:\Users\Evan\Desktop\New folder\sdk\tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\Users\Evan\Desktop\New folder\sdk\tools>adb push widget.txt /system/customize
failed to copy 'widget.txt' to '/system/customize/widget.txt': Out of memory
There is memory!
all i can say is try booting into clockworkmod and mount system there.

Correct. Since our phone is nand locked, to edit/push/etc the phone would have to be booted into clockwork (without usb cable attached) - mount /system partition - and then attach cable. From there, remount in adb and push / pull / explode (explode isn't really a command... lol)
Oh yeah. Thanks for the answers, clockwork worked lol. Stupid me
I'm kinda new to android
I've started to delete useless apps through Titanium Backup(acer staff,games etc) , and exidently deleted smth connected with honeycomb stock keyboard.
Now every time when i want to use stock keyboard, pops up a messege "The application Android keyboard (process com.google.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. plz try again".
Ive tryied to reset factory data but it wont helped. Is thera any solution for this problem? if there no, plz tell how to completely reset tablet) ive read "system Images " thread but i didn understand some things
here is my recover steps: (for a500 which is bricked)
for a500 is normal:
root it
put the system.img into a500
connect to the computer with adb and follow the codes:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
then reboot

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.
tryed in connectbot type "mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules"
got this "failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"
im rooted what if

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
ah im total noob tried cp instead of mv it said permission denied .

yeah thats i know)
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
Ok trying to learn a little about adb. and im trying to push a file to my phone.
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools ( done this to change the directory)
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push screengrab.apk .\sdcard.
failed to copy screengrabber.apk to .\sd card: Read-only file system
how do i change it to a write only file system also. i tryed adb shell i granted it SU permissions. then i done something and its telling me daemon still not runningerror cannot connect to daemon. what exactly does this mean it will start up successfully then it will stop and that message will come up
your sdcard is not read only. make sure you do not have it mounted at all on your computer and verify you are using PROPER command
adb push screengrab.apk /sdcard/

there is nothing mounted in my pc not internal or sd card when i used the PROPER command. It brings up a whole lot of stuff like the different commands and stuff.
