How to push files through ADB

Prerequisites have...
A:android-sdk-windows installed
B: (on your phone) go to menu>settings>applications>developement and make sure usb debugging is checked.
C: the file you are pushing must be placed in the tools folder of adb so if you are pushing file "build.prop.txt" this needs to be downloaded/copy and pasted in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
1: go to run and type cmd (or just open your command prompt)
2: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
3: adb remount
4: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*
5: adb push FFFFFFF.FFF /#####/###### *i hope my notes help here you need to put the file name in for the F(s) and in the pound signs you put the destination on the devices example adb push build.prop.txt /system/bin
6. repeat step 3 for multiple files
7. adb reboot this is how you finish

hi, i have adb recognizing my phone, but i still can't seem to push the files over.... every time i try, i get 'cannot stat 'su' : No such file or directory'. i have made sure over and over to put the files in the same folder where adb is.... actually i have tried placing the files in the tools folder, as well as the platform-tools folder, and i keep getting that error when i try to push anything.
any suggestions? thx

i had the same issue with something i was trying to push. I think you need to make sure you have exactly the same file name like caps and all. i was trying to push rootexplorer.apk and i got the same message but i then changed it to RootExplorer.apk and it work.(notice the difference in caps)

just watch this and it'll explain everything.

Does it matter where sdk is installed my file path is
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
instead of
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
I just installed it in the default location.
I type adb remount and get the not recognised command.....
Thanks.
I don't think my phone is being picked up?

Make sure your have the drivers for your phone installed first of all.....Then, in your command prompt you have to change directories to the sdk (which you made harder by not installing to C:\
Try: cd Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
Then type: adb devices
That should return "xxxxxxdevice" connected....Then you know you have it set up.

Look in kyouko sig he has all the commands for adb

Flashing fresh ROM via ADB in Linux
Hello there.
M volumeUp and VolumeDown buttons are broken on my rooted Desire HD, so I cannot go through CWM any longer.
With regard to this post, I would ask the followings:
1) can this method be used to flash a new ROM (i.e. Coredroid, Leedroid..) without the need of those 2 buttons ?
2) My PC runs Linux. How does it work with this O.S. ?
Thanks

There is a thread somewhere on how to flash without a SD card and flashed using adb I believe, but don't take my word for it. Adb works fine with Linux, just have to set it up differently. Look in my sig and select the compile aosp on Ubuntu one and follow instructions on getting the USB set up.

Yes, I saw it. It's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911228

Maybe through ROM manager, premium, I can install ROM direclty.

Hi I need help. I accidentally wipped my phone in CWM and now I'm trying to use adb push to push the update.zip into my phone sd everything seems to work but then in CMW it says there are no files..
any suggestions?
[Edit]
nevermind
I kept trying different locations
not sure which one did the trick but I'll list the one's I tried
so \update.zip /sdcard/
.... /sdcard/update.zip
(note I put "/update.zip" thinking maybe it needed to be reallocated to the same file/destination

Can i use adb push *.apk /system/app to push several files at once, and then repeat but using *.odex instead of *.apk? I keep ending up getting the same error, and i want to find out which app is messing with me...

[Q] assiatance with adb please any one

hi guys im getting anoyed with my pc and phone now ive followed so meany tutorial etc on how to install adb but still not getting any where so far i have done
1. downloaded sdk from code.google.com
2. extracted to c:/android-sdk-windows
3.installed htc wildfire drivers
4.created a path on enviromentable variuble
5.ive loaded the skd.exe
6. ran cmd and ran adb and adb devices but my pc will not reconise this command any adice please thanks
ps ive also tryed using qtaADB it connect to the phone but dnt show any thing frustrated now lol thanks daddyspud

First download adb for windows from " http://developer.android.com/sdk/ ".
then u will get a file named " android-sdk_r08-windows ".rename it as "Android SDK" after extracting.
download proper driver for your phone and install them .now move "Android SDK" to root of hard drive that is to c\Android SDK...
now update the adb using SDK manager that is inside Android SDK.all packeges even usb drivers.
connect the phone via usb and windows should recognize it as android phone .
now take "cmd".command prompt and type the following code .
cd\
cd Android SDK\tools\
adb devices
Now Adb is set if it shows your phone code ..
Sorry about my english .

I had a hardtime making my computer recognize my wildfire, I had to manipulate the driver to make it find it. just google it and you shall find .. if thats the problem ..

thanks worked a dream cheers buddie

They changed the location of the adb.exe file with the new SDK release using the example given would be :-
cd\
cd Android SDK\platform-tools\
easier in my opinion to add to path in windows
c:\android sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
make sure u add java.exe to path aswell
Hope this helps

Failed to get the adb version.
Edit - Never mind i have sorted it.

How can I install 3rd party apps into my HTC aria?

I tried to install Zenonia 2 from mediafire but it blocks the installation and don't have the setting to allows it to install since ATT took it off. Is there a way to get this app into my phone?

-----------------

Check the sticky thread, "Installing 3rd party apps."
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

I tried doing that but I got stuck stuck doing on step 7 Becuz there was no adb command

I had the same problem and unfortunately I didn't document what steps I took to resolve it. I think you need to run the Android SDK and look for either the SDK manager or some sort of module add-on option. Then you need to add the SDK tools that include ADB. For some reason it's no longer included in the general SDK download.

How to Sideload 3rd Party Apps:
(Rooting NOT required for this)
Download SDK Tool HERE
1: Un-RAR Android folder to root directory on PC (ie: C:\ )
2: Open CMD Prompt and type CD\ and hit Enter
3: Now type cd\android\tools Enter
4: Plug in Data cable and choose "Charge Only" on phone (always choose this)
5: Now in CMD prompt enter this command: adb install barcodescanner3.4.apk and press Enter
The SDK tool should install the Barcode Scanner app on the phone. Yay!! Success!!
**You can use this method to install .apk downloads onto the phone. For this demo i had already inserted
the Barcode Scanner app into SDK tools folder. the actual command should read as follows:
adb install c:\path to .apk file (ie: adb install c:\apps\filename.apk)
**I chose this app because you can use it to install other apps by scanning the barcode
found on many HTC App sites.

No need to go through all this trouble anymore. All you need to do is download "sideload wonder machine" from android central and whatever app you want to install. Its quick and painless and it allows you to sideload apps to your unrooted aria (or any android)
The only thing you must do to the phone is make sure you have usb debugging enabled under the development settings.

If you see my post right above yours, you will see that this method doesn't work anymore since adb is not included in the SDK by default. You (or whoever wrote the original instructions) need to add the steps necessary to install adb in the SDK.

How u install the adb command?

Thank you CallMeAria. It works now!

Guessing you don't need the instructions anymore since you got it working with the wonder machine, but just in case, you need to run the Android SDK Manager, choose whichever available package comes with ADB, I think it is Android SDK Tools Revision 8, then download and install that.

awesome
thanks it worked great

Accidentally uninstalled Package Access helper

Hey Guys,
I just made a big blunder.. darn! I uninstalled the Package Access Helper (thru the titanium backup app) on my G2 (D802 ver) and now I can't install any apps anymore from the PlayStore.
The phone is rooted though..
My question is... What's the best and easiest way to remedy this problem? should I go to all the hassle of reflashing back to Stock ROM? OR can I possibly get an apk for this "Package Access Helper" thingie? and where in God's world do I find this apk if ever asl well?
I'm in dire need here guys... pls help me out. .::
thank you.

There you go

copy it to /system/app & reboot

Thanks, but I dont have have any root explorer app on my phone.
Already installed the adb shell on my laptop..
enabled USB debugging on my phone, checked device manager and saw "Androidnet Sooner Single ADB Interface: under Computer.
then on the command prompt with admin permission, I typed on where the adb libs are located
adb shell
su
adb remount
chmod 777 /system/apps
adb push DefaultContainerService.apk /system/app/
BUT.... I always end up with the errr message "device not found"
What's this error all about??
Thank you again for sharing some of your info... I highly appreciate your insights on this

Here you go x2
flashable
@error - you need adb drivers + usb debugging enabled.

I sent you back a message mate.
Unfortunately the flashable zip might not be of no good to me at all, as I did not install any custom recovery on my phone e.g. twrp, etc.
I guess the only route I can do is to really push the DefaultContainerService.apk to the /system/app but I'm always getting this err -'device not found''it
Should Androidnet Sooner Single Adb interface really be the one that appears under the Device manager? or should it be 'Android Composite ADB Interface'?
I'm having a tough luck on this

I guess the most I can do on this would be to just reflash it back to stock again and hope it'll work. *sigh

thanks man, I downloaded the adb tool from the android sdk website itself.
By the way, I tried as well booting up to stock recovery, and flashing the zip (on the earlier post), but since my phone system is not yet mounted, then the zip file didn't do anything at all.

any one please send me the Package Access helper to my gmail

Please help me I want to restore my package Access helper back please

For battery optimization obsessives, Do not delete or disable it. Apps from play store can not be installed without it. This what I ended up with after disabling the service.

Package installer stuck on next

Whenever I try to install an app, the installer won't do anything after I press next.
Any help would be appreciated.

The next time, juste write:
"I need help
Thx".
Seriously, how can we help you without information?
What's your model variant of p9lite? (VNS...)
What's your rom?
You have modified your android system?
What's your manipulation?
This "bug" is new? Your never able to install apps?
You try install app with play store or unknown sources?
You have try to install app with ADB?
If yes, what's the return?
I need maximum info to help you fine.

Try to install an apk using ADB.
Connect your device to your PC, install drivers using Hisuite.
Enable USB-debugging in developer options.
Confirm authorization prompt on your phone.
In a command prompt window on your PC execute:
Code:
adb devices
•Confirm your device is connected
Code:
adb shell
•Shell
And then to install the apk execute:
Code:
pm install
•Installs the apk locally; add the filename and location, eg.
Code:
pm install /Desktop/App.apk

Oh okay thanks
It turns out it was a problem with the theme or whatever
Disabling the theme solved the issue (what?!)
Thanks
