I rooted my hero last night and tried out a few different ROMs but eventually decided to revert to stock and make some manual changes. I used nandroid to restore to just after the root (1.56.651.2). I was able to remove some apps using adb, but the adb remount command fails (permission denied), and I'm unable to push a new bootscreen on to the phone. I also tried a Root File Manager and pre-kitchen as alternatives for the bootscreen, and neither one works. The Root Manager won't paste the files from SD into /system/media/ and pre-kitchen just reboots the phone.
Any suggestions?
Any chance this has something to do with downloading only up to SDK Platform 1.5? I'm at a total loss. I RUU'd my phone, did a clean root at startup using adb shell, and I still have the same problem. The adb remount command won't work, and I can't push anything into the system directory. For what it's worth, when I still had Root Manager installed I was able to toggle RO R/W in any directory with no problem, and I could move files around within the ROM... but I couldn't move anything into it from the SD. I'm new at this, so I have no idea what the problem might be. Anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions?
If anyone else runs into this problem, this solution worked for me:
adb shell
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 777 /system (Or any subdirectory you want to push to inside system)
# exit
adb push <local file> <device location>
Restore modified permissions when done.
Though I'm still not sure why this is necessary in place of adb remount.
I'm pretty sure the adb remount command will not work on the stock rom. You should be able to do it with just this command instead:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Thanks... didn't realize stock wouldn't accept adb remount. If I use the above line from within shell, that doesn't help me push anything on to the phone though... so I needed to enable global permission and then do the push. Oddly enough I tried the same approach last night using Root Manager, and the transfer from SD still failed, even after I applied 777 to the dir I was trying to modify. The current solution may be kind of tedious, but at least it works.
you really shouldn't do 777 on your filesystem, ANY app can then write to your system, overwrite things, or install malicious code. Just remount manually and you should be able to push anything you want, just remember that w/ the stock rom you also don't get a full busybox either.
I'm not positive, but I would think after you remount, you should be able to "adb push" to /system. I suppose it might be specific to that shell, but I would think not.
You just may have to do it once each time you boot your phone.
Edit - err nevermind... you're having permission errors.... um... change adbd on the phone to run as root? not sure how off the top of my head...
(Sorry for not posting actual links - the system won't let me because I'm still a "new user.")
I already rooted my Sprint Hero using this (thread 583291) guide and can successfully tether using the WiFi Tether app. Yay!
Now I want to delete and/or replace the boot up sound (boot.mp3 located in /system/media/bootscreen) When I try to delete it right now (either through adb shell on my computer or from within a file manager app on the phone itself) I get permission denied or "read-only file system."
I see two threads regarding busybox, superuser, and adb remount. Thread 591303 which is dated 11/28/09 and is just for busybox and Thread 593952 which is dated 12/03/09.
I'm not sure which of these two I need to install. If it's the latter which includes ADB remount and superuser as well as busybox, then I'm not sure if I am supposed to unzip them before pushing them to my phone.
Could anyone point me in the right direction based on what I want to do (delete files on my phone - ANY file I want)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
All you should need to do is:
Code:
adb remount
rm /insert file path/file
So yours would be
Code:
rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3

will rm work without busybox?
As long as you can shell into the phone it should work. The rm command is to be run inside the shell.
So it actually should be
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
You want to install the busybox remount and superuser Rom if you want to run stock.
Or manually install busybox, superuser whitelist and adb remount
Biggz - looks like they are on stock. No adb remount.

Unfortunate, custom is so much better.
If you are on stock, do this:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3.old
exit
[you can also do rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 instead]

successfully removed (rm) the boot.mp3 in the shell - Thank you for that. I do want to replace it with a different one (I'll use the same file name since the .xml file still refers to it) so I'll need the cp command and I've noticed that it's missing in shell. I'm assuming I need to install busybox to get this functionality. I'm not really sure I want to install a complete new ROM and I don't mind manually installing busybox, adb remount, etc. What does installing "superuser whitelist" and "adb remount" allow me to do? I'm not sure what their potential uses are?
I installed busybox and have the cp command functionality now (see above post) but now when I try to copy anything to the /system/media/bootscreen folder I get "cp: cannot create '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied"
I type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" after getting into shell and typing "su" and getting the "#" prompt and it takes successfully (this is the only way I was able to actually "rm" the original boot.mp3 file to begin with.
See anything I'm doing wrong?
Nope, that is correct.
/system is normally mounted as read-only, so you can't add or delete anything. The mount command remounts it as read-write, so you can modify it as root.

Superuser whitelist is an application that warns you and asks for you to provide permission whenever an app tries to use the su binary to run as another user. You want this, as without it there's no way to know if an application runs as root.
Adb remount is a service that allows you to toggle the +RW bit on the /system/ partition through the shell. IIRC the one one floating around also kills color terminfo so you don't get all the extra chars on a windows PC when using the ls command. Just a matter of convenience.

I can't create/copy anything after getting into the shell and remounting as read-write. From CMD prompt I type:
adb shell
and get:
$
Then I type:
su
and get:
#
This is where I type:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then trying to copy anything into the /system directory gives me:
Permission denied
It will let me DELETE anything I want from this folder (as confirmed by now deleting boot.gif just to check) but it won't let me cp (copy) anything to this folder. WHY?
What the heck?
try these commands for the boot mp3
Code:
cd/
cd /androidsdk/tools/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push directoryonpcwhereyourbootmp3is /system/media/bootscreen/
make sure that you rename the mp3 to boot.mp3 or it wont work anyways.
the other option (this is what I do) is find a bootscreen that you like (I use this one). open the zip file useing winrar or 7zip, navigate into the files where you see the boot.mp3 and drag in YOUR (now renamed) boot.mp3 close the window, put the zip file onto the root of your sd card, boot into recovery, choose flash from zip, flash the file and your good to go.

tried this just now and still get "failed to copy 'C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3' to '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied"
It's the /system folder... I can push to /data/local all day long, but anything in the /system folder is read only. How the hell can I change this?

if this is the code you are using then that could be your issue
the code line should look like this
Code:
adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/
doing adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 says that you are trying to push the boot.mp3 to the directory bott.mp3 and there is no boot.mp3 directory the folder where you want the boot.mp3 is bootscreen. try the ubove code and see what happenes.

Nope, was a typo on my part (here in the post, not when issuing the command). Still permission denied. I don't think it's actually mounting the /system folder as writable. Is there a way to check after issuing the remount command?
A quick command of "ls -l" at root prompt gives the following for the /system folder:
drwxr-xr-x root root 2009-09-21 06:30 system
after you run the remount command what does it say? does it say remount succeded?
After typing the remount command it simply repeats my command back at me and returns to the "#" prompt.
honestly at this point what I would try doing is do a back up then flash a custom rom like fresh 1.1 that has all the tools built into it. then go into the cmd prompt and cd to where sdk is then type adb remount and see what it says then adb shell and try to cp the file to that directory.
this is more a test than anything else.

I'll try this - so you recommend trying fresh 1.1 then? I know it's just a test, but just in case I like the ROM and decide to stick with it, might as well try a really good one! I'll try this tomorrow - I'm beat! (Thanks again!)

Isn't anyone going to comment on this?
Gurus: does it really work? That simple?
Thanks
Didn't work for me - used root explorer method. Now just hangs when I try to get recovery mode. Can get download mode ok still, and phone boots ok of course. Running JPM with root and voodoo5 3. Anything else to try?
Does not work on JPM....
it no works.
Phone: Doc's JP6 + voodoo pre3 + rooted
Method: Root explorer.
1, during copy the xbin folder to system, it shows "replace files" but after i check inside the system/xbin, the files are disappared??!! I did manually copy everything one after one from xbin to system/xbin, but i can't see where they are after copy.
2, anyway, i reboot the phone with 3b combo, the recovery mode still showing 3e.
so i say it no works. anyone tried the cable methed?
this thing work but it needs a little workaround as discussed by danzel. follow here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774500&page=188
Could you please update the instruction for jp6 + voodoo pre4?
abd remount (don't know why) isn't working and /system is always ro so adb push and shell (adb shell works) cmd aren't working.
It is correct to remove su and busybox int the extracted folder since i have both already installed?
I was on JPM, followed the instructions.
Phone couldn't boot, lost ability to enter recovery. Luckily I could still enter Download mode, flashed to JPM, but being on voodoo kernel before that, didn't managed to disable lagfix before getting into this trouble - Couldn't revert back to RFS, and without ability to enter recovery to format.
Finally reverted back to Eclair firmware, could see my beloved recovery again. No way I'm going through the above again.
The above is just my own experience, for reference just in case someone is as unlucky as me.
This is the clear step on recovering the recovery2e
Recover recovery2 e
1. uncompress the downloaded file recovery 2e and copy the direcotry to sdcard and rename it to recovery2e
2. Using root explorer copy File recovery from recovery2e on sdcard to /system/bin
3. Using root explorer copy Folder recovery in xbin to /system/xbin
4. If did not work try copy xbin folder over /system/xbin folder
Ok, confirmed working for me on JPM+Voodoo.
I installed Rom Manager too, and CWM Recovery is fully working too!! TNX

Your method DO NOT work at all. I cannot enter recovery mode.
Fortunately download mode is still available.

lagigia, what didn't work for you?
Here's what I did:
put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
open a shell and get root
remount /system rw (busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)
rename recovery in /system/bin to recovery3e (for backup purposes)
copy "recovery" from /sdcard/recovery2e/ to /system/bin/ (cp /sdcard/recovery2e/recovery /system/bin/)
copy the folder /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery to /system/xbin/ (cp -rr /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery /system/xbin/)
enjoy!
if using the root explorer method, copy xbin folder content, do not try to overwrite the entire dir on top.

Thanks, works fine on JPM/JP6
Could we get a newbie friendly guide please. Get root. What does that mean and should i just type what you quoted. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Edited the first post and put the new, easy tutorial
Could i get some background on this, please?
Is it correct that:
1) recovery2e is the default samsung recovery?
2) new versions of recovery2e can't apply all the update.zip we were able to apply with the older versions? (unsigned, signed??)
3) This is why we need the old recovery2e to replace the new one?
4) Where did the issue started? Since Froyo releases?
5) Is this why we can't root Froyo FWs with an update.zip anymore like it was the case with Eclair?
I'm really sorry if this is kinda obvious but i never really saw any clear explanation about this. Hope someone could clear it up for me
1) Yes
2) Correct on recovery 2e you can't apply all the update.zip
4) Yes, New tutorial on fist post
4) The JPM ROM brings new recovery 3e
5) You can root phone by flash kernel with root by odni
After i succesfull deodex my stock rom i've decided to share my experience with ya'll people ...
Here we go :
1. You must be rooted !!!
2. Download -> xUltimate
3. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
4. Now xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
5. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
6. Now these well take a while. Run option 3
7. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
8. Now run option 4, and wait.
9. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage then copy "done_frame", and "done_app" to the root of the sdcard then put the phone in PC mode.
10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
After phone is boot, reboot again in CWM and Wipe Dalvin Cache, reboot and ENJOY !!!
Notice : The boot will take a little bit longer than normal (2-4 seconds +)
P.S. For step 7 ... there is no guava.odex, don't worry about, continue to next step !

You must have adb (by installing android sdk, platform-tools, install usb driver too) and jdk to do this if anyone is wondering.

I am currently testing @Jusadas latest "Carbon Sunday Beta1" rom... It is fully odexed & so far is bug free (Totally)...... I would like to try & DeOdex the rom so that PDroid & Patch can be implemented...
I Know that PDroid framework has now been ported for Odexed roms, but when I flash the Odexed version I get stuck at Android txt during boot...
Will report back if your technique works...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...

Thanx man what a great work , i actually look for deodexing method coz i want to translate an odexed rom but i has to be deodexed first
I'll give it a shot !
Excellent guide!!!
Will try it tmw

Well the title says manually deodex. But this uses the tool. To manually do it you need to decompile each app individually and then edit it.

Tried this on my stock ddkq8 gingerbread 2.3.6 rom. But whenever I run this line: busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
it says cp: No space left on device.
and my phone bricks.
It seems that the command does not overwrite the files in /system/app and thus the error.
BTW what do you mean by pc mode?

ADB can access all file from device from CWM Recovery, especially CWMR 5.5.0.4
ALL you need to do is:
From Recovery menu, you need to mount /data and /system for ADB working..
THEN, From Command Prompt set ADB Mode to "recovery".(This Batch File set ADB mode to "Home Screen" by default)
So when you use ADB from Online device ( I mean a stand by device).. you dont need to change ADB Mode..
After you set up, you can use ADB as you like..

My previous post
inspiration from congox case
when you got a problem with bootlop and you forget make a nandroid backup
only have file from other ROM with flashable.zip and need to push the file from your computer to device
you have a recovery support with mount /system and mount /data (tested on CWM 5.5.0.4 and overcome CWM 5.1.2.6) and you can enter this menu while bootloop happen..
STEP 1 : MANUAL
Connect your device with computer
From device, Go to recovery - mounts and storage - mount /system and mount /data
From your computer go to adb terminal and type this
Code:
adb shell "ls /data/media/"
If you can see list of file from your device sdcard, so you make adb work for your device ..
Place your zip file on your path, says on C://backup.zip and you want to copy the file to /sdcard/download/ and type this code
Code:
adb push backup.zip /data/media/download/.
wait for copying progress done..
After you done with moving file to device sdcard, check content of your sdcard with this code
Code:
adb shell "ls /data/media/download/"
When you found your file from list, you can flash backup.zip from recovery
STEP 2 : WINDOWS BATCH FILE
I made a simple Batch File for windows (sorry i dont have MAC or LINUX distro) , this file will make a folder with name "emergency" in SDCARD and with your files inside that.
Extract the FLASHER.rar somewhere on your Local folder,example: on your " Desktop" Folder
in folder "FLASHER" you will find runme.bat and folder "files"
Rename your file ((flashable.zip files you want to send through ADB) to "backup.zip" and then Put your file into this path /FLASHER/files/myfiles/ (just replace the existing "backup.zip" with files from yours)
Connect your tab with Computer
Reboot into Recovery Menu from your device
From menu Mounts and Storage choose mount /system and /data
From your Computer go To Folder flasher and klik runme.bat
Follow the instruction on window untill copying process done and device reboot to recovery again (copying process will take a minutes depend on your file size)
Now you can flash a emergency ROM from recovery

Nice guide, thanks!!
I needed some help with mounting the system using adb through a batch file.
I use this command
adb -d shell mount -o remount rw /system
But the mounting fails (I have a rooted phone )
pleas help me I know this is off topic
2 possible reasons for this command to fail:
- /default.prop (on the phone) contains the following line: "ro.secure=1". Then you need another boot.img (in fact just a modified ramdisk). look for "unpack-bootimg.pl" or "unpackbootimage" you may find a guide how to do this manually (not too easy). A rooted kernel would also do the trick.
you can check your default prob with this command "adb shell cat /default.prop".
- in some cases mount requires more parameters. try "adb shell mount" and look for the line containing "/system". In front of system is the "device-name". in my case the mount command would look like this:
mount -o remount,rw /block/dev/mmcblk0p24 /system
hope this helps and sorry for answering off-topic questions....

you can use busybox and call the binary from the shell
i assume that your device in normal mode ( in home screen)..
here some example..
Code:
su
adb push busybox /tmp/.
adb shell "chmod 755 /tmp/busybox"
adb shell "tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
after you type "su" superuser will prompt a request, choose "allow".
