adb shell reboot
Files deleted. Sry.

nope...
this is no flashable zip.
Just push it with adb or copy with a root-file-manager on your phone to /data/local
push it through cmd?

awsome bootanimation!
Problem. I have a rooted Desire with Defrost ROM. When I go with astro file manager to \data there is nothing in this directory. I can not create a folder local or copy the bootanimation.zip to it

This is because /data is not mounted...
You have to go to recovery mode to mount & push.
You can also try the PC-Suite in my signature, which will do this all automatic

Oke, choose backup rom from Rom Manager. It rebooted my phone, did a backup for:
Backing up boot,
Backing up recovery
Backing up system
Backing up data (took some time )
Backing up .android_secure
Backing up cache
Backing up sd-ext
Generating md5 sum
Reboot my phone. So now I have a nandroid backup from which I can always recover right?

now search for HTC sync and dowload and install it on your pc ( if you haven't got it yet)
there are the drivers you need.
Then download my suite and extract it. download this bootanimatio, rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/bootanimation in my suite.
Now start the suite and follow the instructions
I've been running cm7 nightlies and now stable 7.0 for some time now. I have the new radio, ladios' kernel, and the sdcard read fix flashed.
I installed super manager and successfully deleted some of the stock cm7 media off my phone last week. Today, I came across the new GPS.conf files and wanted to try them.
Super manager couldn't switch the system to r/w despite saying "ok"
When I try to delete or write in the system with EStrongs file explorer, ghost commander, or android mate, they all give strange errors. The deleted files disappear but reappear after reboot. If I try to paste a file in system/etc I only get an error.
Superuser is successfully allowing permissions. I have the latest busybox. I have r/w enabled in each file manager.
I even tried an adb push test which first said "system is r/o only". The next try was "successful" but didn't do anything.
I'm still new with adb so I probably did something wrong. I typed in that r/w command, mount now shows: /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (rw,relatime)
I can't figure out what changed and what I need to do to get r/w permissions. My only theory is that i had uninstalled and reinstalled super manager earlier and that somehow messed with my permissions.
You cannot permanently modify the system partition while the phone is booted into Android. The only way is to use adb while the phone is in recovery mode. Any changes you make while the phone is booted will be lost after a reboot.
Go check on those media files you thought you deleted. I bet you'll find they are still there.
Yes that worked. Thank you.
I thought I had read somewhere that you had to be booted to adb push.
I also thought that root managers advertising r/w capability would make permanent changes.
Next question:
Can I add and remove files from the cm7 zip before flashing it? Do I have to rezip it in any special or can windows 7 manage it fine?
EDIT: Ok I guess i need to sign it... lets see...

It really is as simple as adding or removing a few files from the zip file if you want to modify it.
In CWM it says the file location for the backups is /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
When I go through AirDroid, Root Browser, Solid Explorer, etc. that directory is NEVER found. Where are these backups saved and how can I find them (and ultimately copy them to my PC). I've never had a problem in the past with my S2 doing this. What am I missing? Thanks.

have these file explorers been updated for the fs change in 4.2? root explorer shows correctly. try /data/media/0/clockworkmod/ or /data/media/clockworkmod/

found it in data/media/clockworkmod thanks dude
So why does it do this?
Secondly, how can I get windows to fully see the entire device. MTP is limited in what you can see and also is rather slow in file transfers. Thanks a million dude!

okay. Well now CWM won't let me look through the entire device to flash a new update/rom etc. It just locks me into that data/media folder and my root browser or solid explorer won't let me write to that directory. I'm hating this device more and more....

you should use twrp recovery. it has more functuallity and just works right. easiest way is to download the goo manager app(free)press the menu button, press install open recovery script, press yes

okay I'll look into it. On my Android phones I've always used CWM. Guess it's not as good on tablets...
Hate to ask so many noob questions (I'm pretty good when it comes to my phone) but how to I remove CWM and install TWRP?

just install it the way i wrote above, or you can flash it via fastboot.
okay I'll do that later. Do I have to remove CWM or will they co-exist?

they will coexist, but twrp wont restore a cwm backup. id suggest you make a fresh backup if you go to twrp.

They are in /data/media but you can only view that folder with superuser priviledge. If ES File Explorer has an option of getting superuser permission in settings then you can view them or you can use Root Explorer App.
If you have adb then you can view them in adb shell and then become superuser and then view that location.
as i said. the fix for this is one or two posts below this one. why is it so hard for people to understand engrish?
go to android /mnt/shell/emulate and you will see your nandroid their I had same problem until I found it:thumbup:

heard. the point is its on the same page. it isnt pages deep where you would need a search. the op can get away with not caring about a search. but to read this thread and see that the fix is only a couple of clicks away... why would you take the time to post that you are having the same issue.

I see the nandroid backup in /data/media/clockkworkmod/backup and in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. I am using root browser lite.
When I try to delete the nandroid it doesn't work with this app. How can I delete?
Use Solid Explorer, browse files and delete. I do this since forever with CWM and now TWRP

ok, so - say i want to copy these nandroids to my computer before i delete them from my nexus 4 / and vice-versa. how would i find it using windows explorer or finder?
i understand that the nandroids for CWM are stored in:
/data/media/clockworkmod
and when you plug your phone into the computer, it shows an emulated sdcard, but whats a quick and easy way of getting to the root of the device for copying from the computer?
apologies if this has been covered before, but i just stumbled upon this thread when looking for it, and this had the latest activity.
thanks
Normally I don't recommend tool kits as people should learn, but I would give one a shot as there is a feature to just pull backup and save to PC.

Just to clarify:
Nandroid is stored in the phone's internal storage not the internal sdcard.
When you connect to the computer, windows explorer shows the internal sdcard only.
A file browser app that allows manipulation of the internal storage will show the nandroid. You could copy it to your sdcard and move it to your computer with windows explorer, airdroid, etc. Or you can us the tool kit.
Hope this helps
AW: How to delete Nandroid backups?
In CWM itself you have the possibility to delete them, too. I think this is worth mentioning. To my mind this is the easiest way.
Copying them to your PC is also possible via ADB (if present and activated)
Code:
adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/

Awesome thanks, so i'm assuming that will copy the data to whatever directory i am currently in in the Terminal. we'll just assume we are in C:\?
Then also i would assume the command to put that nandroid from my PC to the phone would be
Code:
adb push C:/clockworkmod/ /data/media/clockworkmod/
??
thanks
I used ROM Manager to 'Backup Current ROM'. It seems like I saved a couple nandroid backups successfully but I can't find where they saved so I can transfer them to my computer. I checked internalstorage/clockworkmod/ but there is no "backup" folder present, only 3 small files called .nomedia, .salted_hash, and .settings.
When I go in ROM Manager and go to "Manager and Restore Backups" I can see three dated backups listed, where are those?
I just want to successfully perform a nandroid backup and move it to my computer. I have tinkered with this device twice and lost data both times because of unsuccessful backups to my computer (totally my fault). Still getting used to Android.
right under the "Backup Current ROM" option in ROM Manager you can see it says mnt/shell/clockwordmod/backup
It's where CWM stores backups, you cannot see the folder from computer. But you can pull it via adb or copy it to sdcard using a root explorer then move to computer

How exactly do I pull via adb?
provided you know how to use adb
adb pull "mnt/shell/emulated/clockwordmod" "C:/CWMbackups"
if you're not familiar with adb, well... go to the general section then read

I'm having the same problem but I'm using TWRP. Is it possible to make TWRP store my backups in /data/media/0/TWRP instead? This is quite a mess to go through just to be able to make a copy of the backup on my PC...
Like the other guy said, just use root Explorer and copy the back ups, then past them in the faux sd card. This is the simplest way to do it. ADB can be challenging for the novice.

Out of interest does anyone know why my backups are put there, I backed up using TWRP and it puts the backups there, but in recovery it looks to the sdcard/twrp folder so doesnt find the backups
same here. i've already browsed everything using file explorer but still cant find my cwm nandroid backup
Hi, i done the adb pull..
Later on if i wish to copy back to phone, do i need
to use adb push ? Thanks.

You should be able to just drag and drop anywhere on the sdcard folder.
On another note why do I have to do an image verification every time I leave a comment?
