Greetings to all!
Can You tell me how can i use shell in WF, what can i do in/with shell, is shell useful for working with, where can i find commands for android shell...?!
I'v installed it but when i type "Su" there is no action only "command not found" also when i type some other commands...
You must be rooted and have Superuser installed to allow terminal emulator to access SU.
Im rooted!
Have you got the Superuser App? Because, at the very least, atleast the "su" command should work on the terminal emulator, irrespective of others.
Anyway, some read through threads for shell and it's commands:

Yes, i have...Thats why is strange for me...
I rooted WF on my Linux Ubuntu 10.10...
You'll need the android development kit from google. Extra the tools to your personal user bin folder. (~/bin) add into your path statement. Open interval in you should not have adb working. In the terminal using adb issue adb shell. You will now be in a shell on your phone through your computer

I know about Adb using phone shell with my Pc but i dont want that, i thought that shell can use only with phone without Pc...To bad...
Or i didnt understand you...!?
Is the find command available only with Root access and busybox?
I can't access the find command in the terminal emulator in Android.
Many of the root tools/apps such as screencast, Helium... allow an option to start a background service through adb shell, and then connect to this service to execute commands with elevated permissions.
My idea is around generalizing this experience. There is only one app that starts a background service and acts as a proxy for all other apps (like the SuperSu app).
To make this interaction compatible with all root apps, I was thinking to writing a shell script "su" which redirects all the arguments to the above service.
This will give users with non-rooted devices access to many of the root apps.
But this will require the "su" script to be in the $PATH directory.
[Q] Is there a way to change the $PATH variable from adb shell (without root) so that it is retained system-wide? Any alternatives?
I am getting the following error when I try to pull a TWRP backup from my Nexus 4. Can anyone please help?
Code:
remote object '/sdcard/TWRP' does not exist
It doesn't exist there. /sdcard/ is really a symlink. The actual location is /data/media/0/TWRP, but try /storage/emulated/0/TWRP as well.
Next time type "adb shell" to go into the phone, then type:
find / -type d -iname twrp
this will search the entire phone for folders with the name TWRP and list their path.
/ is the root folder of the phone to search in
-type d means search for folders only, leave it out if you want to search for file names
-iname means to search for terms case insensitive

Thanks for the help eksasol. I've tried to pull many different paths and they all return the same remote object does not exist error. I've even tried sudo adb pull, with the same result. I've tried this, find / -type d -iname twrp but, all I get is Permission denied. If anyone else has got some ideas I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks. :good:
If you are using Ubuntu or linux, typing 'find' only search what is in your PC. You get permission denied because you want to search in a root directly that required root permission.
To search for files in your phone, you need to log into your phone by typing "adb shell". TWRP give you root by default, then you can use the find command.
Since you have root by default in TWRP, you don't need to use sudo, also Android do not have "sudo" installed. The correct way to gain root privilege in linux (Android) is by typing: su -
To tell if you have are root, you should see # where your user name is in the command window.
Once you are done finding the path, you need to exit the adb shell in order to make contact with your PC, so just type exit. Only then you can start using "adb pull".
by the way, its "adb pull /data/media/0/TWRP/ \home\username\backup\"
Rememer in linux (Android), it's case sensitive.
OK, I see my mistakes now. I was not exiting adb shell when typing adb pull. Anyway, thanks to your help, everything is working correctly now. Thank you again, I really appreciate it. Now I can flash the 4.4 update safely.

Thanks for helping me re-learn that linux (Android) is case sensitive
