Flashing bootloader without a computer(rooted)

I've downloaded redbend_ua and the clockwork recovery image. They're both currently on my sdcard's root. I'm trying to copy redbend_ua, but there's no 'cp' command???
I've been a Linux SysAdmin for over 5 years, so I'm comfortable on the command line. Where's cp? Is there an easy way to install bash 3?

I can't link the post with tapatalk, but detailed instructions are in a post labeled "Clockwork recovery no computer method"
By default the cp command isn't included in android... it is included in busybox. There is an app on the market, and the one click roots install it by default. Without busybox the cat command is used as so: cat > .

Wow... I'm embarrassed I didn't try that. I'm usually against piping cats but sfobv that's what is needed.

So I'm guessing you rooted through some sort of program or app and have no idea what adb is, right? So my advice to you is... *drumroll* lrn2adb!
Read up on what adb is and how to communicate with your device through adb console.
Pretty sure just removing Superuser from either system/app or data/app (I forget, you'll just have to look) would be enough. There would probably be some binaries left behind doing it that way, but shouldn't matter.
from my flying AOKP'd Evo LTE and xda premium
From an adb shell or the terminal emulator app:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# rm /system/app/Superuser.apk /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
should do it

[Q] CWM Backups

How do we delete them?
I cant seem to find them when I connect the phone to the PC.
Root explorer?
Check under the clockworkmod folder when you plug the phone in.

AW: [Q] CWM Backups
They are under /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ If you want to delete a backup you can do that via CWM in the backup submenue. If you want to have them on PC pull them via adb:
Code:
adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can we change the directory?
As far as I know this is not possible at the moment. Hope this will be changed soon.
where you save the backup media? thanks

[Q] Move authenticator data from non rooted nexus4 to rooted nexus5

Hi,
I have been using a nexus4 and I just got a nexus5.
The nexus 4 is not rooted and bootloader locked
The nexus 5 is rooted.
On my nexus 4 I have very critical 2factor keys that I want to put on my nexus 5 before wiping it.
Apparently the methods to retrieve the authenticator keys involve root.
Before trying anything I did a full adb backup of the data of the nexus4
./adb backup -apk -shared -all -f ~/Documents/backupfull.ab
What I tried so far is to extract the authenticator data manually
./adb backup -f gauth.ab -apk com.google.android.apps.autheticator2
dd if=gauth.ab bs=24 skip=1 | openssl zlib -d > gauth.tar
tar xvpf gauth.tar
Empty!
My next guess is to root the nexus 4 but apparently it seems like there is no way to root the nexus 4 without wiping it.
If I root the nexus 4 and wipe the data in the process, when I restore my backup will the authenticator data will be there?

What's the easiest way to execute shell scripts?

I would like to use the "clean" shell script on my phone which probably means I'm rooted not a big deal.. I did use a program recently to try it but I think it failed?
I'm just wondering about apps that will execute shell scripts with little hassle?
(I don't want to use ADB because I just think that's too much work!)
Terminal emulator from Google Play?

Root Explorer? Or just put it in init.d if it's an init script.
