How to adb rename? or other method? - Epic 4G General

I want to change the file extension, I had my brother do this through adb but I am not at all knowing of this stuff.
This is for the fully charged sound. - i tried root explorer but it doesnt work.
TW_Low_Battery.ogg and TW_Low_Battery.bak
to
TW_Battery_caution.ogg and TW_Battery_caution.bak
in /system/media/audio/ui

I think you can just move "adb mv /dir/file.old /dir/file.new"
Maybe substitute mv for cp...its been so long since I've done it.

neither cp or mv worker under su and non-su
you probably left something out.

Could you please just ask me this stuff before making posts here? Are you just trying to increase your post count? Anyway here's the thing you wanted me to post for others to learn from.
EDIT: A community like this doesn't support odt?

oh screw you stop being like that. my god man

Code:
adb shell
then
Code:
mv oldfile newfile
this renames oldfile to newfile

That doesn't work. At least for me. Read the thread...

Kcarpenter suggested essentially the same thing, the problem is that /system is by default mounted as readonly.

Eh, sometimes we can cooperate, other times he can't be reasoned with at all. Many of the questions he asks here, he ends up asking me, which annoys me because it wastes other people's time, so I post in his threads asking him to stop and sometimes provide a solution to the problem for other readers to see.

Thank you chinoto for that document

I've already reported him/her for cursing. There isn't any need for that.
I wish there was an option to delete threads if mistakes are made by posting duplicate threads. Would help free a lot of space.
^ with all respect, I've already answered his question in another thread. If you guys want people making two threads for a topic in the sticky, so be it.
I thought all the effort I put into the sticky would prevent this, and be appreciated by the moderators.
ALSO (from the FORUM RULES, please note rule ONE):
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
and Rule 5
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
If what I typed is "flaming", I'm sorry... I wanted to say worse.
^ I cussed? LOL..... and no, the sticky clearly says terminal emulator.

i don't know about your vibrant but when you hold down power, it says power off. Then you can turn it back on. There's no option for rebooting even though that's the complete process once turned back on.
you see where that can be confusing?
So following step by step should avoid extra questions. Thank you
^ I did not say use the power button, I said you should add "reboot" as a line in terminal emulator, to prevent from having to use the power button.
When you type "reboot" it restarts the phone so its a shortcut rather than powering it off then powering it back on is what s15274n is saying.
Even though Reboot phone isnt there, its a command and it'll work.
He's telling you that "reboot" is a command...

i can't get a break can I? people will take that out of context but Im clearly saying, if a bunch of people are giving up 15 dollars, sometimes thousands of people from around the world and someone post a new rom from their development.. why not be clearer and get mad when people ask questions? But I'll shut up because I'm unrooted now. It's much more complicated than my N1 im guessing because of the double storage (internal and external SD card)
There are some bad people on these forums though. I wouldn't have a problem helping people out until they have it down packed. Im sure they would want the same thing in return. But thanks for the help that I do get from the good peoples.
^ the irony being I answered all of your questions, and did not get harsh till you posted yet another thread... at least you posted in the right section this time though.
Hi Zephik,
I tried to unroot my device by using the command "rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk"
I got no such file or directory error. Is that means my device is not yet rooted?

Have a working SGS2

Hey Community,
Due to the company I work for being great. They have allowed me to borrow a working SGS2 for the night. So tonight I will be taking requests for anything people would like me to try out within reason. If you have a request post it or PM me
for all non believers here are some photo's... this is a test version so it is not perfect and I'm sure they're still working out some minor details...
I'm also looking for a good way to test the phones abilities on stock. Quadrant is not really that great for true tests.. so any idea's shoot over
can you take some screenshots of general things?
Homescreen, app drawer, notification bar, etc.
I love how it looks (the design of the phone not UI, but UI looks better than ours )
and i have a working terminator that skynet just happen to let me borrow today. so im taking request of going back into the past to beat up anyone's childhood bullies.

I'll go post in the i9000 section
There must be a guide somewhere that tells you how to dump the ROM?
I imagine you'll need to use adb or similar to do it, so it'll have to be connected to a PC with a data cable. Do you have one?

OK, I found this in this similar thread.
you'd need to install busybox to /data/local then tar the /system
on adb shell:
cd /sdcard
ls // to make sure it's correctly here
chmod 755 /data/local/busybox // to make it executable
/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system

[SOLVED]Alternative way to access Recovery without pressing (hold) Power Button??

My power button is showing symptom of Dying anytime soon. without having to risk an unresponsive screen after a press on power button, Im looking for another route to access Recovery WITHOUT having to long press the POWER button..
Urgently waiting for reply.
Regards.
EDIT:
Mod please consider close this topic to save XDA's bandwidth.
if you use clk instead of magldr, you can enter recovery using rom manager (i think? never used it myself)
dont try rom manager from magldr, it will destroy your recovery install.

if you download terminal emulator from the market and type:
SU (enter)
reboot recovery (enter)
it will also work.
But i believe you must need root access. cause you will get "operation not permitted" if you arent
Secondly, there is always ADB. If you are on windows its easy as pie to set up. just look here and then type "adb reboot recovery" and that will work as well. good luck!

Yup that actually works! The only downside was need to input selection everytime i reboot the phone. But that's better than having to risk the power button failure!

There's no need to be rude. First of all, he clearly helps people judging by the fact that he has OVER 800 THANKS. You can hardly do that without being either a recognised dev or someone who really knows their stuff and contributes. You clearly don't understand what trolling is judging by your last post, and have you ever thought of the simple explanation that he came to the thread to give that specific advice, saw samsamuel's post and just decided to confirm that what he said would work? Now, you're undoubtedly going to call me a troll as well, despite having no knowledge of what trolling is, but I'm not. I'm simply a person with some common sense.

Hi Nigeldg, Does the "what he said lol" phrase does help in any sorts of way? To my knowledge OVER 800 THANKS user doesn't have any privileges to be on top of anyone and simply replied "what he said lol" without even trying to help. Now that really doesn't make any sense and with your common sense, I supposed that you are clearly understand the situation before you trying to help someone.
Whatever it is, I'm a happy man now with problem solved.

Think about it this way, people often will reply to a solution which they have tried with '+1 to this', showing that they have tried it and it works. Same goes for 'what he said lol', it shows you that that solution works. I never said that having 800+ thanks makes you better than someone, but it most certainly shows that a person is probably worthy of posting in the forums, and that they probably know what they're doing.
Anyway, glad to see you got your problem sorted out, and I realise I'm a bit behind here replying to an older post, but I just thought I should make myself clear as well

I don't dispute that his comment was a little harsh - but your reaction to it was equally harsh - no need for that here - I have seen other development threads become reduced to a bunch of childish bickering over the silliest things - and I personally believe that is really out of place in a forum designed for people to help each other - so please consider how you want to be treated and maintain a level of respect that each of us, including you deserve.
I know that I would appreciate that - as I am sure many others will as well.
And plese, some one hit my thanks meter - it is at 6-6-6 and it is scaring the hell out of me - LOL
this guy is obvioulsy not sure what he's doing. his commands don't output anything
what a derp
I got 1| as well.
