Cannot get ADB shell working - Legend General

Hi guys, so I've done tons of searching & I still can't seem to get this work.. I'm running CM7 #21 & I'm trying to install adfree using the tutorial here.. For some reason I just can't seem to get ADB shell commands working.. I can put my phone into recovery via ADB, no problem, but that's about it.. When I try running recovery-windows.bat I get "directory not found" errors, from what I can see it's looking for a "files" folder, which I don't have, & I've downloaded the SDK 3 times! Initially I didn't even have a recovery-windows.bat file, I found it somewhere & modified it.. Anyway, I've attached pics of the steps I've done, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or guide me in the right direction...? thanks in advance...

Using fakeflash will get you to recovery more easily. Look in the roll up sticky for that Once in recovery the adb push syntax is thus:
adb push [file on PC] [location on phone]
For pushing a directory, c:\foo to the phone's data partition you'll want this:
adb push C:\foo /data/
Or you could use wildcards:
adb push C:\foo\* /data/foo/
The latter option is probably easier
EDIT:
I notice that this was your first post. Welcome!

Thanks for the help & welcome! What I didn't realize all this time was that I had to reboot in ClockworkMod recovery & not normal recovery, but by you directing me to the fakeflash post I figured it out.. Btw, the download link at modaco.com for the update.zip file is dead...

How to push files through ADB

Prerequisites have...
A:android-sdk-windows installed
B: (on your phone) go to menu>settings>applications>developement and make sure usb debugging is checked.
C: the file you are pushing must be placed in the tools folder of adb so if you are pushing file "build.prop.txt" this needs to be downloaded/copy and pasted in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
1: go to run and type cmd (or just open your command prompt)
2: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
3: adb remount
4: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*
5: adb push FFFFFFF.FFF /#####/###### *i hope my notes help here you need to put the file name in for the F(s) and in the pound signs you put the destination on the devices example adb push build.prop.txt /system/bin
6. repeat step 3 for multiple files
7. adb reboot this is how you finish

i had the same issue with something i was trying to push. I think you need to make sure you have exactly the same file name like caps and all. i was trying to push rootexplorer.apk and i got the same message but i then changed it to RootExplorer.apk and it work.(notice the difference in caps)
just watch this and it'll explain everything.

Does it matter where sdk is installed my file path is
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
instead of
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
I just installed it in the default location.
I type adb remount and get the not recognised command.....
Thanks.
I don't think my phone is being picked up?

Make sure your have the drivers for your phone installed first of all.....Then, in your command prompt you have to change directories to the sdk (which you made harder by not installing to C:\
Try: cd Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
Then type: adb devices
That should return "xxxxxxdevice" connected....Then you know you have it set up.
Look in kyouko sig he has all the commands for adb

Flashing fresh ROM via ADB in Linux
Hello there.
M volumeUp and VolumeDown buttons are broken on my rooted Desire HD, so I cannot go through CWM any longer.
With regard to this post, I would ask the followings:
1) can this method be used to flash a new ROM (i.e. Coredroid, Leedroid..) without the need of those 2 buttons ?
2) My PC runs Linux. How does it work with this O.S. ?
Thanks

There is a thread somewhere on how to flash without a SD card and flashed using adb I believe, but don't take my word for it. Adb works fine with Linux, just have to set it up differently. Look in my sig and select the compile aosp on Ubuntu one and follow instructions on getting the USB set up.

Hi I need help. I accidentally wipped my phone in CWM and now I'm trying to use adb push to push the update.zip into my phone sd everything seems to work but then in CMW it says there are no files..
any suggestions?
[Edit]
nevermind
I kept trying different locations
not sure which one did the trick but I'll list the one's I tried
so \update.zip /sdcard/
.... /sdcard/update.zip
(note I put "/update.zip" thinking maybe it needed to be reallocated to the same file/destination
Can i use adb push *.apk /system/app to push several files at once, and then repeat but using *.odex instead of *.apk? I keep ending up getting the same error, and i want to find out which app is messing with me...

Hey man,
When you rooted did you flash the Amon-Ra recovery image? If so put the update zip on the root of your sd. Power down your handset. hold the volume UP and the power on will bring you to the recovery menu. Here you have options for back up,flash from zip etc...once there you can select whatever rom/update you want to flash. Remember nandroid is your friend always back up. Also as far as apps etc...check out Titanium back up or one of the other free back up apps in market. I hope this helps you out.
volume up + end button = Recovery
ok, im following the steps to III: Flashing a Custom Recovery. and when i get to the step :adb push recovery.img /sdcard it says :cannot start recovery.img: No such file or directory...is the recovery.img also supposed to gon on the root of my sd card? or just the tools folder, cause its there?
yes its suppose to be on the root of the sdcard too
still says cannot stat 'recovery.img': no such fire or directory
am i supposed to replace /sdcard with /J (which is what my phone comes up as in my computer) -tried that still didn't work...

Sorry newser here, irc??
Is your phone actually rooted? To check, turn on your phone, then turn on USB debugging through Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging. Plug your phone into the computer via the USB cable.
In the run box of your computer, type cmd, then enter.
When the command window shows up, changed you your SDK tools directory. On my system it would be:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the following command
adb shell
You're rooted if it comes back with
#
If it comes back with
$
try the typing
SU
if it does not change from $ to # then you might want to try rooting again, and be sure to install the Amon_RA recovery
typing exit multiple times will back you out of adb, and the cmd window.
Hope that helps.
Edit: Of course that works for 2.1 leak 3 users as well.
Easier way for you tho, if you boot to hboot with the send and end buttons, you should see hboot with S off if you're rooted. If it's S On you're not.

New guy rooting vibrant

Hay, my name's Nick, been reading the posts for a while, decided to join. Iv'e been wanting to root my T-mobile vibrant so i can get a more streamlined ROM will less features to make the ones i use go smoother and faster and get the full potential out of the device. I rooted it no problem with one click root, installed clockwork rom manager, and titanium backup, installed clockwork recovery (i love the clockwork orange icons by the way) put the latest "insanity 0.6.7.zip" in the root of the internal SD, and hit the "install rom" option on the rom manager and selected the .zip, and it made my phone go into the standard recovery mode, no option to install any .zip files. So i opened the rom manager and manually put it into CWM recovery so i could manually install the rom. It looked like it was going to work, but then it sent my phone back to the recovery screen with white text that said "install update.zip" so i did what it said, and it sent my phone into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, but when ever i try to recover my backup or access any files it says "no files found, operation canceled" or something like that. It also fails to mount via USB. I can get it to go to download mode but have not tried odin yet, because im on a mac (working on getting bootcamp working now to run windows)
Odin seems like my only option now right? anyone have any idea ware I went wrong? it must have been the incorrect update.zip file right?
I dont think u flashed a vibrant rom
Just mount your internal sd from clockwork and copy over a vibrant rom, and flash
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
have any idea why it wont let me mount my sd card? that makes me worried it wont connect to a Pc in download mode but i haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.
I'd download your rom of choice, there are a ton that are perfect fit first timers. Trigger and Bionix-V seem very stable. Pop your external sd into your computer, copy the .zip for the rom, go into recovery, select install from zip and flash your rom.
Odin is last resort. I'm not familiar with insanity, but maybe it was a bad download?
when it booted up it went to my normal "vibrant" screen, then to an unfamiliar "galaxy s 19000" screen. Im assuming there is a difference between galaxy s and vibrant right?

tried that, when i try to to install zip from sdcard it says "no files found"
i assume it's looking for files on the internal and not the external right? so i tried mounting the external sd card from the mounts and storage menu, and i got an error message that said "E:INFO is WRONError mounting SDEXT !"
In recovery, do you see any folders when you click install from zip, or is that when you get an error message?
If you see folders, can you navigate to external_sd?
i click "install zip from SD" and it brings me to a menu with the options to apply sdcard.update.zip or choose zip from sd card, and when try ether one of those options it says "No Files Found"
I have a rom in a zip on the root of my external now, just cant get to it.
Too bad i cant help trying to fix things that aren't broken

not your external sd, zip should be on your internal sd
since you can get into recovery you can try using adb to push the zip from your computer to the phone
install android sdk and drivers for vibrant then using command prompt navigate to the following directory in the android-sdk folder
\platform-tools\
then execute the following command again in cmd prompt
adb push <dir for zip> /sdcard
if that doesnt work then odin will be your only choice and you must be in download mode to do that

If you can access xda from your phone,download a vibrant rom from there.
Once it's downloaded,it will be in the root of your internal sd,under download.You can then flash it in cwm,or when the download is complete,click on it and choose Rom Manager to open it,and you can flash it from there.
Here's a link to Bionix 1.3.1,on xda.

first you have to be in the android sdk directory and second you must run the sdk manager process and download the rest of the sdk, the bit that you download from the website does not include the full android sdk, you will also need to have java runtime environment 5 or later installed on your pc.
also if you are running adb in linux you need to sudo or su adb commands
in linux you will need to restart the adb daemon
su
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
hope this helps
i ran the SDK and AVd manager and installed the rest of the SDK packages, then found the ADB file and drug it into the terminal, that gave me the list of commands. I plugged in the phone and tried "adb devices" and it said "command not found" tried quitting and restarting terminal a few times and still nothing

thats a security feature within linux it wont show what you are typing but rest assured its registering keystrokes, and you dont drag and drop to terminal
assuming the androidsdk is in your home directory you would type
cd /home/username/android-sdk/platform-tools
then ./adb devices (this is just a check to make sure your phone is being recognized)
i type
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
and it tells me
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools: is a directory
then i type ./adb devices
and it says

I deleted an important application on my rooted phone

Note: I'm new to XDA, so I've basically made no posts so far. I tried posting this under HTC Bolt/Evo 10, but since I have not made the 10 post threshold yet, I cannot post there, so I just made the post here. If this post needs to be relocated please let me know.
After rooting my phone (HTC Bolt), I foolishly deleted some bloatware applications without backing them up. One of them was TouchPal, a preinstalled keyboard app. I didn't think this would be much of a problem because I already had it disabled in settings and was using a separate keyboard app for other purposes.
However, when I restart my phone, it always asks me to type my pin and "decrypt" the phone. I'm not sure why it does this (previous cell phone didn't), but apparently (this is only a theory) it uses this keyboard application, so I can't actually type my PIN in to decrypt my phone.
I could be completely wrong, and I might have accidentally deleted some other important file from my phone, but either way, I don't know how to fix my phone right now.
I did a bit of research and found out I was supposed to flash a ROM onto my device. However, I don't think I can even connect my device to my computer because normally I would have to enable USB debugging and file transfers.
So basically: is there a way to connect my phone to my computer that would allow me to do whatever is necessary to let me access my phone again? (also should I be flashing a completely new ROM? I should still have everything on my phone except a couple bloatware applications, so is there an easier workaround?)
Update: I got my phone to connect to my PC by booting it in recovery mode. I'll delete this thread if I can successfully flash a ROM.
Hey!
You have already rooted your phone - perfekt!
Now you can start to your bootloader and from there you can flash a twrp recovery if you haven't yet.
If you didn't, there are many tutorials how to do: google: your phone flash custom recovery via fastboot mode
If you have done this - you can easily backup your data with twrp recovery (I think twrp is the best)
After you have done this you can make a full whipe of your system.
If you have done this maybe the failure isnt anymore, but now you have no code to unlock! If the app is still not there - go to apkmirror.com and download the app(there are even system apps). Or just google "xxx.apk download"
After this you can restore your data from twrp!
Summary:
1. Flash recovery. Via fastboot mode
2. Restore your data via recovery
3. Full Wipe
4. Restart
5. If app is still not there - search for APK and install
6. Reboot to recovery (e.g. volume up and home at starting phone, google...)
7. Restore data
8. Restart to system.
I don't know if this Is work, but it's worth to try.
If this don't work: you can transfer data from phone to PC via fastboot mode and then you can flash custom ROM or stock rom,...
I hope this works!

I remember an easier way.
Maybe you can install app via ADB in recovery mode.
Therefore you need:
custom recovery
ADB tools installed on your PC
USB Driver installed
The APK downloaded from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=TouchPal
If you have done this - reboot to recovery.
Navigate on your PC to the adb tools folder where adb.exe is in it. Open CMD with right click on address line.
Then write in CMD:
adb devices
If your phone is found, adb commands are working.
Then copy the APK in the folder where adb.exe is in it.
Type in CMD:
adb push xxx.apk /system/app(the address where you delete apk)
So maybe this works
So first check:
- custom recovery flashed?
- adb tools installed?
- USB driver installed?
If you have further questions, let me know.

adb push xxx.apk /system/app(the address where you delete apk)

How would I find out the address where I deleted the apk? I already had adb, USB drivers, and custom recovery installed.

How did you delete the files?
Nice, then boot into recovery start CMD where you adb is installed and write" adb devices"
Do you see your device?

The files were deleted within the phone itself through Titanium Backup, so I have no idea where the file location is. As of now, I can adb push the apk, but I don't know where to push it to.

Sorry for the late reply.
The command "adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/xxx.apk" doesn't work for some reason. It says it is not a directory. (I changed the name from xxx to the actual apk name by the way)

Okay then forget this command and only try 'adb push' command, and restart phone maybe it works. Merry Christmas bre

Yeah... I already tried that. Also I tried a bunch of other adb commands like deleting the file and it couldn't find the directory either .
Merry Christmas to you too!

Was pushing successful? What says CMD after 'adb push'?

One Plus 5. No OS issue.

So i am having a issue with my oneplus 5 and hope someone could help me out
So i have ended up wiping the entry phone in recovery, getting rid of all the internal data, including sdcard & operating system. At the moment the only thing i can get access to is fastboot & TWRP. I am trying to sideload or push a rom zip to the phone, but all i keep getting is the below:
adb sideload "Zip folder name and extension".
loading "zip"
cannot read "zip"
or i get an error that just says "Closed.
Now i have update to the latest drivers and adb and when i type "adb devices" my phone is showing...
I have also flashed the oneplus 5 recovery via fastboot, however when i go on to adb sideload, the phone doesnt show in CMD.
any help here will be appricated, as i am out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Make the file names shorter.
Alternatively, you should be able to use a flash drive through OTG and install the stuff from it.

Unfortunately, OTG isnt a selectable option and i have also tried shorting the file a names but still no look.
Thank you for the input
Use another recovery. OTG should be there, I know somebody that flashed ROMs this way.

Two things I'd try:
1. Change your directory to the one containing the zip file so the command ONLY has the filename.zip in it
2. Download the zip file again and make sure you do a md5sum check on it just in case its corrupted.
Try this:
- Boot your phone in TWRP
- Open cmd.exe on your PC
- Type adb devices (if everything is ok, it should show some numbers followed by the write "recovery")
- Move your ROM inside a folder on your PC and rename it "Rom.zip" (ie inside the folder "download")
- Using CMD.exe, move inside that folder typing "cd C:/...."
- Type "adb push Rom.zip /sdcard"
- Wait til a confirmation message will appear on CMD.exe
- Flash the ROM using TWRP
So for future reference to anyone that might have the same issue.
I fixed this issue, by flashing a older version of TWRP. This allowed me to use ADB sideload without issue & also allow OTG_USB. It also allowed me to flash files with long names.... I have tried to go back to the latest version of TWRP for OP5 but i get the errors i was getting before.
Strange, but did the fix.
Thanks all for the help & input.
