If you think you could hang with typing some pretty long instructions using terminal emulator, it can be done manually. It's not for the faint of heart... and if you typed in the wrong bml and screw up your phone, it wouldn't be my fault.
If you can hang with that, then cool, I could post some instructions. All this is just so much easier though with the one click method.

Ok how long is it and how do I do it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

OK...
Firstly, root the phone with z4root from the market. Also get Astro file manager and Android Terminal Emulator from the market while you're there. Connectbot can also be used as a terminal.
Download the one click root 1.4.0 from noobnl to your phone. Extract the contents using Astro file manager. Copy the following files and put them on the root of your sdcard:
redbend_ua
zImage
Now open the terminal app, and type the following commands exactly:
Code:
su
cat /sdcard/redbend_ua > /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Your phone will reboot after the flash.
Remember to type the commands exactly.

OK, if you want to cleanup afterwards, go back into terminal and type the following commands:
Code:
su
rm /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
I will encourage anyone who reads this to not play with redbend_ua unless you know what you are doing. These instructions will work if done exactly to the letter.
Once again, I take no responsibility if you hose your phone.

Also, make a backup with ClockworkMod after you install it, so you have your current rom saved, just in case.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Download rom manager, then use rom manager to download clockwork mod, then use astro which is a free app available in the market which is very useful, to open the sd card folder, then go to clockwork mod folder then copy recovery-update.zip and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it just update. It's already a zip file so you don't have to type.zip. Now reboot into stock recovery and apply update.zip. Does not work with froyo. But if you down load the clockwork redirect, then you can install that once you get into clockwork recovery after you flash a froyo rom before you reboot. But using adb to flash the permanent clockwork kernel is the best way.....try this......update.zip method:
1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fixed.zip

[Q] ADB freezes when taping commands

I had to restore my Iconia, so i used the acer.Update.zip, then i flashed my system.img using connectbot directly from my tablet, then i did an hard-reset, now I need to push wifi modules.
I installed the android sdk and then i installed iconia drivers too on my Desktop PC running Windows Vista x32 (i know it sucks but right now i can't change os).
I run adb with the devices command and it recognizes my iconia, then i try to run any other command, as adb install C:\my.apk or adb shell and nothing happens...
If I try to close the shell it closes but the abd.exe process doesn't close even if I use the task manager, I have to reboot the PC.
Someone knows what to do, I yet googled but i haven't found anything...
excuse me for my bad english...

Well first off for your wifi modules you don't need adb any root file explorer will work. Put the modules on your SD card then copy them and go to system/lib/modules miunt the system as rw and paste them. Then reboot.

How can I download & install APKs if I haven't a filemanager and I can't connect to the internet?

Hmmmm. Well i would say restore with the Chinese update get a file.manager installed then flash your images that way your file.manager is installed I know.long work around but at work and don't have adb in front of me

[Q] Wiped system and internal storage (accidental) - how to install ROM?

I have TWRP 2.3.3.2. In trying to install a new ROM, I accidentally wiped the sytem AND my internal storage, rendering me without any NANDROID backups or ROM .zip files on my internal storage.
Any tips on how I can load a .zip file onto the internal storage so that I can flash a ROM from TWRP?
Thanks!

Simplest way would be to use Wug's Toolkit.

Or if you want to do it the right way you can push the ROM with adb.
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/

Yes, I like this idea best. I'm using the latest Android SDK, and I placed ROM.zip in the platform-tools folder (where the adb command file is located). From the platform-tools folder through the command prompt, I type 'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/', and I get a response 'failed to copy 'ROM.zip' to '/sdcard//ROM.zip': No such file or directory'
When I run the 'adb devices' command, I get:

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Yes, I know. I actually named the file ROM.zip.

Thanks for the help, all. I was able to get a ROM installed with the Nexus 4 Toolkit.

What would you guys recommend for the same situation, except that the phone won't connect via usb (and subsequently, will not respond to any fastboot/adb commands)? Is a JTAG service the only option?

You are typing su before copying the files to elevate your shell privilege to root, yes?

hi
Hi D00lz
As I said, I am getting error while copying files from pc to device (system\bin) using total commander.
Where to run such command?

I use the adb shell for most access to my phone because your computer can't argue with command line (essentially).
1. Follow THIS guide to install ADB drivers on your computer.
2. Copy your 4 files into the C:\adb\ directory (created from Step 1).
3. Turn on USB Debugging on your Android device in Developer Options.
4. Plug your phone into your computer and wait for your device to be recognized.
5. Open Command Prompt as an Administrator and type
Code:
cd C:\adb
6. Type the following commands
Code:
adb push <file1> /system/bin
adb push <file2> /system/bin
adb push <file3> /system/bin
adb push <file4> /system/bin
If you would like to learn more about adb visit Basic adb/shell commands.

Hi everyone
I also have the same problem and i copied thise files and tried with adb shell but every time that i try it says "device offline" and does not procide. My g2 is connected and on and i can navigate to my phone through my pc and i have updated all the drivers. And usb debuging is on. So what cause the problem? What is wrong with adb shell? Any helps would be appreciated

Broke my screen, touch no longer works, want to back up

Hi everyone, I dropped my phone last night and the touch functionality is now finicky at best. Only a few very tiny spots respond to touch input. Anyway, I now want to back up my phone before I send it in for repairs just in case something happens. What is my best option for doing this? ADB won't work because I'm unable to enter the swipe pattern to unlock my device. My recovery is TWRP so I can't navigate it using the volume keys. I have no idea what I should do. Help?

just run the adb commands when you're in recovery. If you have usb debugging enabled you don't have to unlock your phone.

I've already tried doing adb backup while in recovery, I just get Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation. I can't back it up unless I unlock the phone, which I can't do.

Try using adb pull and pull your whole /sdcard. It'll take a long time but you'll get your stuff
Edit, you could also flash a non-touch cwm in fastboot, but using that for a backup won't backup pictures and stuff

You could make a nandroid with cwm, you'll want to adb pull that off too.

Thanks, working on that now. When I was pulling my sdcard I got an error: cannot create '<filename>': No such file or directory. The file it's referring to is on my computer, so I'm not sure what it's trying to do that it's unable to. I even get it with an administrator command prompt.
Meanwhile, the CWM backup is running out of sdcard space. Is there a way I can write the backup directly to my computer's hard drive?
EDIT: I think I see the issue. The file adb is trying to pull has colons in it. Can I just skip this file, or is there a way to delete it in CWM?

For your nandroid backup it's going to be harder. You need to clean up some space so you'll need to know what and where some large files you don't need any more are

That's all well and good, but how can I clean up space? Do adb or CWM have functionality for deleting files? I could just pull the files using adb, but I would need to know their locations and filenames.

You can adb shell. Then from the shell use rm to remove files. But you need to know specifically what you want to remove, the folder it's in and the name and extension
As an example:
adb shell
rm /sdcard/DCIM/*.*
This would remove all your pictures in the gallery

Thanks, I'd forgotten about that command. I'll try the same thing for the other problem of files with colons in them. I'll report back and let you know if it works!

Thanks man, got both backups to work. You were tons of help!
