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,

You need to mount r/w

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.

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\
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

Anyone knows how to split a boot.img file using Terminal Emulator on HD2?
There is a "split_bootimg.pl" script in the forum and wiki page but whenever I run this on Terminal Emulator it gives me either "permission denied" or "not found" error... Changing permissions for the files also does not help.
Are you using it with superuser permission?
try :
sudo split .....
or this one:
su *hit enter*
split ....

Tried both but doesn't work.. first one says not found... second one still give permission denied
Here's what I do:
1) Copy boot.img and split_bootimg.pl into a temp folder
2) Enter su (Gives me Terminal Emulator has been granted super user access...)
3) cd /temp folder
4) enter "./split_bootimg.pl boot.img"
5) Gives error "split_bootimg.pl: permission denied"
Go to superuser, and make sure that terminal is allowed.

Sure, it is in the attachments.. It is (supposedly) the script that allows splitting .
Rename split_bootimg.pl.zip to split_bootimg.pl (remove .zip)

ADB help
Hey, just a few questions. I'm brand new to ADB tools.
I got my cmd prompt to show me the serial of my device using adb devices. Im sure this means my adb tools are working. Ive only installed SDB tools and platform tools.
Do I need to download the 2.2 tools?
The problem is when I type in the first cmd i get a operation error.
2nd question is how do I get all of your gps.config code into the cmd prompt. Do I place the file somewhere on my computer for it to be recognized in your second cmd step.
Thanks in advanced.

You can push manually with a file manager. Its in op also.
Also the GPS. Conf is a file.

Why am I getting the operations error anyways? Should I be working off of tools or platform tools?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Ive tried a lot of different ways to get it to work and I think ive gotten to the point where it might be something else other than my commands. I just get a mountperation not permitted. The following is an example of what I typed. The $ sign was created after I typed in adb shell.
1 "adb shell
2 $mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
3 mountperation not permitted"
Tell me I did something wrong.
You need to "su" before you try and mount -_-

I messed around with that for awhile and I think I got a little further. I seem to still get a little stuck after I mount.
1. /android-sdk/platform-tools>adb shell
2. $su
3. #mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
4. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
5. #
On line 4 the cmd prompt just spits that back out at me and it ends up back at # again. How do I know it mounted and how do I begin the pushing process. My gps.conf file is in my platform-tools folder. Thanks!
Throw me a bone. Im so close! I can feel it!
How do I get gps.conf file?
link in OP just takes me to a page with a lot of text-No download.
Right click and click save as or save link as. It should automatically name it as gps.conf

Minirome, are you simply he'll Benton pushing this thing via adb? If not, and you just want to get your gps to work, copy the thing to your sd card, download es file explorer, and cnp the thing to the proper dir

I'm trying to stop the nook color Ota updates with these commands and they said to move sqlite3 file to my system/ bin then use terminal to type in these scripts. I have no idea what terminal they are talking about. Please help!! Thank you

ok now it is on your internal sdcard in a folder called Mi9.
Please upload it
