Next time, just tell him what you're doing because he's not a mind reader and he probably knows another way to put it on your phone

try from recovery mount card
and put file in sdk tools folder
adb shell mount
adb push MyFaves.apk /system/app
or try
adb push MyFaves.apk /data/app

Problems with adb push

I am running custom rom Rooted 2.1 v0.3.
Ever since flashing to the custom rom, when i try to push a file, such as:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
I get the error:
Failed to copy.... Read-only file system.
I didn't have this error before flashing to the rom. Does this have something to do with superuser whitelist?
I have tired:
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and it didn't work and I tired:
adb remount
winch returned:
Operation not permitted.
This is ticking me off since I didn't have this problem until flashing the rom.
EDIT: Now if I try:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media,
I get:
Permission denied.
This is crazy.

I need help also. Rooting for first time and trying to get recovery.img on and keep getting read only errors. Tried remount to no avail. Help please

su
mount -o rw,remount /Dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
file system is case sensitive!
if anyone know what command to execute an install or push of "any.apk" via Android Terminal Emulator. It would help me greatly.
p.s.
make sure you have developer mode enabled "settings" and accept su permissions. Also have BusyBox

I had the same problem. From what I could tell, I had the wrong ADB driver somehow. So I downloaded the drivers from the HTC website and went to device manager (Win7) and updated the driver software which fixed the problem. But I think i just lucked out when i stumbled onto that, I feel a blind retard with epilepsy trying to draw a circle on an etch-a-sketch when I'm doing things like rooting. But, it couldn't hurt to try it.

Did you ever get this fixed? I have the same problem!

I have the same problem also. I've been using SDK just fine for over a month or two, and now that I'm on V3, no worky. Somethings obviously going on. But what?!

I think the proper permissions were not set for this ROM. Hopefully jcase can modify the file and re-upload the ROM =)
at least that's what I've gathered... someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong
edit: I looked at the script file and it seems like rw permissions are set properly???
jcase - any insight?

I personally get a bunch of "Out of memory" errors when trying to follow the recovery walk-through.

Adb push is to send something to the phone. You needt to put that file in your tools directory on the computer, then navigate there as you demonstrated properly.
Adb push FILENAME /Location/
To access the shell
Adb shell
$ not root access
# root access
To mount the file system with th adb remount command, you need busybox installed. Otherwise you have to mount it from the shell (sorry don't have the long ass command memorized, but its all over here)

Writing to /system/app...

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,
-Rob

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

Guys need help adb is driving me crazy!!!

Right guys,
Im trying to list the apk's in /data/app through adb so i can pull one of them!
I keep getting an error opendir failed permission denied!
BUT!!! I can get into /system/app fine with no problems.
Im running darkyy's 9.5 with his new kernel. Could this be a problem?
Its strange how i can get in system/app but not data/app
I have never had this problem in the past.
Code:
C:\Users\Paul>cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb shell ls /data/app
opendir failed, Permission denied
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>

Either :
adb root
adb shell ls /data/app
or
adb shell
su
ls /data/app
Reason /system is accessible is because system is ro by default. So they allow you to browse it knowing u won't be able to do anything w/o root. Whereas /data is rw and hence they restrict you, unless you have root.
Fyi : Wrong section to ask questions.

The default superuser timeout is 10 secs, either increase it or keep looking at your screen.
PS : Have you tried a an app called Mount R/W? works great.

Yes, but by default, if u dont run
adb root....ur not running the shell in root mode
Also on most roms if u run :
adb shel
u'll see $......
when u type su
u see #
So to enter # mode u need root but still need to execute either adb root or adb shell n then su.
Hope that clears it.

install android commander and forget about command line for simple listing and coping tasks

Maybe he's trying to learn how to navigate using adb. Very useful skillset to acquire imho.
But yes for general purpose, a gui is better.

the plot thickens...
Ill fill you guys in from the start in a short story..
Updated to darkyy v9.5 from v9.3
I thought the phone went a bit funny when it loaded the first boot as on the boot animation it vibrated like crazy and the animation started again as it was going to loop but then the phone loaded...
Been using the phone a few days and everything fine and wanted to pull an app from /data/app
All the above stuff happened and it wouldnt let me.
I thought something wasnt right so i took out the battery for a few minutes and put it back in and went into download mode and plugged my phone into computer to see of odin would still recognise it ok...
My windows vista computer started installing device drivers???? ive had this phone 7 months and plugged in about 100,000,000 times lol
Odin recognised my phone so i rebooted and tried again and now it works fine...
Something weird going on there which is concerning me with it installing new drivers...
This is what i get now and used to get before when i used adb...
Code:
C:\Users\Paul>cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb shell ls /data/app

I know how to navigate with adb very well. I just couldnt figure out why i was being blocked from entering /data/app...
I even have a video tutorial in my sig that i made showing how to use adb and its commands...
Seems a quick battery pull did the trick although i still now dont know why new drivers where auto installed on reboot to my pc
