sir im saying this in the most friendly way possible
but i was once just like you new to hacking and lots of questions
but you must understand all the questions you have can be answered by reading on here or google search
everyone is tired of answering the same question of the newbies and trust me i have been flamed
also check out the forum rules about posting questions certain questions go in certain places if you want quick answers....all love bro i want to see you rooted and happy
if you have root
su is Super User access
you need to get the su.apk go here and take a look http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
su allows certain apps to do rooted things including overclocking
btw you will alos new the setcpu app to overclock go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419

Run to this thread and read up:

There is an automated script that will help you with the root. Many users, including myself had to run it a couple of times before it took - so if it doesn't go off the first time, don't lose faith, just try again.
As for whether or not it wipes, that's moot - You should, after you run the hack flash a custom rom - this will wipe your data. Any ROM you like from the dev forum will do. I am using Froyo v21. But you can certainly try any one you like. As for non-Froyo roms, I like the Cyannogen ELB builds. But again it is your preference that matters.
To flash the new rom, you need to boot into recovery mode. If you run the script from the above thread, it will boot you into recovery mode. If you use the instructions in this thread, type "adb reboot recovery" at your command prompt immediately after you are done. Once there, you can do the following:
-Do a NAND backup
-Put your phone into USB SD mode and copy over your ROM of choice to the root of your SD card.
-Do a factory wipe and a dalvik cache wipe
-flash your new rom
When you flash the new rom, depending on which one you do, you should have su or root. You can then download and install apps that require root.
Remember, you should back-up your data before you try to do anything to your phone. It's just a good idea.
If you have any ROM specific issues, try looking through that ROM's thread for answers. Also, if you have any other questions about how to do anything, the first sticky thread in this forum is a great collection of how-tos. You can also PM Me and I will be happy to help.
Don't forget that a lot of hard work went into rooting leak. Do like many of us have and donate to those responsible.
i understand what your saying about asking here. but seriously, i searched and it seems like every thread says the same thing. so i jump all over the place and end up going in circles. i did my sons moto droid yesterday pretty easily. he now has root and a smoking droid w/o disturbing anything else. so, sorry, but it is tough. thanks for your reply. i got this particular thread from android forums and it looked like the one. a new one at that. but i spent several hours going around in circles. googling and everything. i am a noob with linux based phones. yes. but i'm very capable and dont need baby steps. just need some straight answers. so sorry. i will check your links. thanks for your reply
Works just as good as the automated method. Good deal.

Everyone, if you don't want to do a wipe and install a custom ROM, you can just flash EngTools.zip, courtesy of jcase, and it will add su and superuser.apk without disturbing your existing data (apps, settings, etc).

I am trying to install a .apk thru adb shell. I go into recovery and mount the system and the sd card.. i cmd adb shell and i get the ~# and i type in the following command /system/bin/mv CityID.apk /sdcard/CityID.apk.bak as per one of the other threads. I am trying to move this over to my sdcard and i get "Cross Link Device Error' am i missing something...any help is greatly aprreciated. I am running clockwork 2.5.01
if you are installing, just adb install CityId.apk
sent from my friggin phone
tbh the way i have gotten around the cross link device error is by using busybox.
busybox mv CityID.apk /sdcard/CityID.apk
thanks for the responses guys..i am actually trying to install the Launcher.apk that comes with Jagerroms rom..i was able to move the file to systems/app but it didnt install its there in the folder as it shows up in astro..thanks again
Thread moved to 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...

Hi,
I have been trying to educate myself by using TWRP (ver 2.3.2.1) and loading custom ROM's
I have used the format option in TWRP and now I can no long load or push any files to the SD card. I am able to use WegFresh Root Tool Kit (ver 1.6.1) and get to TWRP and to the bootloader (Android laying on it's back - chest open)
How do I re-create the proper file structure to be able to load ROM's once again. As an example..... "/system" is completely empty.
Thank you....
Update - The problem has been solved and it was due to the driver between my laptop and the Nex7. In Device Manager it was showing up as "Andriod Phone - Andriod Bootloader Interface" THIS WILL NOT WORK!
Your device manager has to say - "Android Phone - Android ADB Interface" for it to be able to push files to the Nex7
Thanks to all who helped me.

Thank you for the reply. I am unable to push any ROM (zip file) using TWRP or adb push.....
When I use a DOS prompt and type - "adb push rom.zip /sdcard" I get a reply "error: device not found" It seems as thought I can't write any files to the sdcard since I formatted the sdcard. Is it a permission issue? How can I restore the proper file structure of the sdcard so that a rom can be pushed and loaded?
Thanks

I've heard that Win8 causes issues, specifically with fastboot flashing files. I've heard you can install the drivers and is recommended to turn off driver signing.
Debug mode only works when the device is booted in the OS, not recovery. Do you have access to another OS, like Linux or Win7? This may be easier to do.

Just an update....
I am getting the same results with Win7 OS that I was getting last night when you were helping me. My Nex7 is displayed in the device manager as - "Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface" in Win7 just as it is in Win8.
I have been using Wegfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit (1.6.1). It will show me the device ID went I click the button - show device id. I am able to reboot into bootloader. I am able to boot into recovery and get to TWRP and navigate around.
If I could just get a stock or custom ROM file to the NEX7 I would be in good shape. But I am unable to "adb push" anything to the nex7.
I will be glad to go "step by step" to trouble shoot this with you.
Thanks
I've not mypc, so I can't help you step by step.
You can use the advanced options of the toolkit to flash a zip or use the sdk to use the adb sideload.
google will help you to found how use "adb sideload", as the option you can see in recovery.
ADB Sideload
What is ADB sideload?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADB sideload is a new feature that was added to AOSP recovery in Jelly Bean. As of version 2.3, TWRP now supports ADB sideload mode. ADB sideload is a different ADB mode that you can use to push and install a zip using one command from your computer. Most likely ADB sideload won't be very useful for your average recovery user, but ADB sideload can be a huge time-saver for a ROM developer.
How do I use ADB sideload?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB sideload like TWRP 2.3 or higher
2.Have newer ADB binaries installed on your computer. If it's been a while since you installed ADB on your computer, you may need to get the latest ADB binaries in platform-tools from the Android SDK. You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line.
3.Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
4.From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.
Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.

I was having the same problem also. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in Fastboot mode (Android laying on it's back - chest open), you cannot use adb. Here you can use Fastboot. Adb is use when in Recovery mode. Have you tried using fastboot.

You are correct, the OP needs to go into recovery (TWRP recovery is fine) and use adb to push files to the device- you can't use adb from fastboot.
I have used exactly the same method myself as I was in exactly the same situation myself.
Of course the OP needs adb on his PC from the SDK as mentioned earlier in the thread.
Still having the same error after installing adb from the sdk on my Win7 computer. I also made sure I installed JAVA and downloader the updates for the adb sdk.
The error is still - "error - device not found"
When I use TWRP to look at the files on my Nex7 the following folders are present
cache
data
dev
proc
res
root
sbin
sdcard
sys
system
tmp
usb-otg
default.prop
fstab.grouper
fstab.qcom

ueventd.goldfish.rc
ueventd.grouper.rc
uevent.rc
The folder "sdcard is empty except for a twrp folder....
Any other things I should try?

Install adb on the PC and push. You can use search or Google to find lots of tutorials. Or boot into twrp and mount SD card while hooked up to USB and drag and drop.

Firstly, please dont do anything to the system unless you fist know how to fix it if it goes wrong! these threads are filled with people who have done similar things
Second, use one of the toolkits currently available, they arn't ideal and id much rather do it myself, but for those not quite sure they can do the job in most cases

you need to navigate to where the ADB file is, then type
adb push (file directory) (android directory)
so for example
adb push C:\Users\(USERNAME)\Desktop\Stock.zip /sdcard/stock.zip
then should show in your root of phone to flash
