[Q] adb remount

Hi guys,
sorry if my english isnt so good...
i'm in trouble with ADB..
i want to upgrade my swype keyboard on my NEW M1 rom eu....i got the 1.58 and i want to try the 1.60..
i found a thread on this forum with commands for upgrading the swype like this way:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
pm list packages -f | grep swype
rm /system/app/<restOfApkPathFoundInAboveCommand>
pm uninstall <value after apk= found in result of 2 commands above>
exit
Install normally. If you want the apk in the rom:
adb push <newSwype.apk> /system/app/<newSwype.apk>
adb remount
adb shell
pm install <newSwype.apk>
(found here-> LINK)
I'm stuck at the beginning:
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
9000ec2a228b device
C:\android\tools>adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory
my phone is rooted and in debug usb mode..I dont understand how can I go ahead...
what can I do?
thanks
ivan

oh..i'm not the only one! : >
we need to find the solution...but it's not easy..
are u using the NEW M1 rom too?

Rooting doesn't automatically give you remount permissions AFAIK.

i just use this command
Code:
adb push test.txt /sdcard/test.txt
and the copy is ok....i found the file in the sgs sdcard...
The command adb remount is for the /system directory (for set write permission) .... i think it cant find the directory /system on the phone......why?!?!

mmmm what do u mean? i need to do something else? thanks

Are you using the internal ext2 lagfix? I think that causes problems with the adb remount command. It doesn't work for me either.

Same results using a different ROM?

No lagfix installed at the moment..i installed lagfix when i was on M2 but i think that reflashing removed the lag fix...is it right?

adb remount as well
Trying to remap hard keys, adb remount along with push and pull do not work. Depending on whether im in shell or not I get no such file or directory or file not found errors. I can change into directory of each of the folders im trying to work with, and look at the file but I can't push it from my tools folder(locally) or pull it from the system folder. Every tutorial I see has adb remount command first, which fails every time.
Samsung Fascinate
Blackhole-build your own rom
(also tried on jt's latest rom, same issue

Crazy
I'm having the same issue here too. I'm trying to get a custom boot screen on my rooted Samsung Infuse and I've tried every way I can think of and it wont take. Clockworkmod says successfully installed, but its not. Soon as I reboot I see the At&T stock boot. I've fixed all of my permissions and still no luck.
So I saw a solution to do it via adb by typing "adb remount" and I get the same thing u guys are getting. I've got a headache now. Done all I could, even typing "shell", "su", that all goes well then when I tried to push it "adb push bootanimation.zip system/media" I get adb: not found. Smh, is it a device issue?

i think ive got the solution

[HACK] Superboot Method for 2.3.2 (GRH78C)

The Superboot root method boot.img for 2.3.2 is now live thanks to Paul over at Android @ MoDaCo.
"Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!"
Using Superboot
- Download the zip file and extract
- Connect Nexus S via USB cable (with debugging enabled - Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debuggging")
- Boot into bootloader mode - (Turn on while holding 'volume up')
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
*Again, All credit goes to Paul at Android @ MoDaCo*

Cool I'm rooted already but nice to see easier ways of doing it for the noobs. Appreciate the work.

For some reason this didn't work for me. I tried it twice but each time the phone rebooted I still didn't have root. Do I have to unlock fastboot?

Yes. These instructions assume you have already unlocked your bootloader.

maybe a noob question: if I just root my Nexus S using this method (no custom rom installation), will I still be able to get OTA updates from google?

Yes. You may have to re-root after updates but your phone will prompt you when OTA updates are available just like normal.

Figures. The answer was staring me in the face the whole time. I think I even remember unlocking it last time I rooted this way. I guess I should just leave it permanently unlocked then so it doesn't keep wiping every time I go to root after an update.

Hi,
I can't get it to work on my mac.
When I put the renamed as "superboot" folder on the desktop, I open the terminal and type in:
~/Desktop/superboot/chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh./install-superboot-mac.sh
it doesn't find that path.
Could somebody help me as a noob?

Am I the only one that did not lose root after the latest 2.3.2 update?

Ok buddy heres what you need to do, on the MAC, this is how i do it.:
DL the .zip in the OP.
Extract it on you're desktop
Rename the Extracted file to Nexus (thats what I name it)
youre device needs to have the bootlader Unlocked.
Open Terminal and type
cd desktop
cd nexus
chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
./install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
then you're done. hope this helps.
Let me know.

Simply amazing! Thanks for the breakdown.

Root instructions...

While comfortable in ADB and have rooted my phone many times in testing as well as rolled back the versions etc... I have no more insight into how or why it is not working for you. If you followed the directions exactly on a version 4 phone, this should work no problem.
Haxcid
Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.
Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.
Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.
Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection
Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on
If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar
I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.
Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??
Download the rageagainstthecage binary
Download the SU binary
Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.
Code:
The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt
you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,
exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and
you should see the #
Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)
32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)
>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)
#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions
#cd /system/bin
#ls -l *su
After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su
At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):
#rm /data/local/temp/su
#rm /data/local/temp/rage
continue with commands
#reboot
Download and install SuperUser from the Market

Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.
I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.
Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.

No idea. I have not used the one click. Create a thread for it. I posted what I know which is adb.

Successfully Rooted
with RootzWiki instructions for Windows, needed the remount and busybox lines to overcome the permission denied when pushing su.

Hey guys, either using S1C or ADB Commands, have we found out if it's possible to unroot this as long as you Nand Backup the stock rom then unroot from there yet? Just because I got this phone as a filler/4g unl. lock and got buyback on it from best buy so I could buy a dual/quad later on when they come out .

Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.

Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.
Any idea when we will have cw on this?

If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.

Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.

No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster .
And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.
S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.

Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.
EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.

Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?

make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

[Q] adb problems

Hello gentleman, i'm new to this forum and android issues, read a lot of threads but today i got registered. hahaha
OK. First of all, im using ubuntu 12.04. Got my phone rooted yesterday with ICS using unlockroot with starter thread help on windows, today im trying to install CM10 and i really don't know what i'm doing wrong or if is missing something. Let's see...
On android sdk platform-tools in terminal mode, i started adb server with sudo to check if the problem is with permission:
Code:
sudo ./adb start-server
and verified if device is connected as well:
Code:
adb devices
the device is identified and another step i made was:
Code:
adb push /home/anon/Downloads/cm10.0.0-p970.zip /media/8184-18FE/
doing this i got my first error step receiving a message like: "no such file or directory error."
ps: this folder on /media/8184-18FE/ is the local to sdcard on device connected on usb using mass storage mode.
looking for some awnsers on other threads, people say to run adb as root using:
Code:
adb root
when i do this command line i get another message error: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds."
what is the difference of start adb on sudo mode or start adb on root mode? I thought it was about previleges, but seems equal for me.
I really don't know im missing or doing wrong, but still can't tranfer the rom to sdcard to upgrade my android.
As begginer on android, any help is welcome. Thank you!

Sv: [Q] adb problems
When you push it type adb push *directory* and the where you want it like /sdcard
So it is,
adb push /home/name.zip /sdcard
Or just enable mass storage and move it that way.
But you can't flash it since you have ics that you can't use cwm on
Cheers

I realized that adb push command was wrong, but tryed it and now im receiving the error message: permission denied.
searched on another threads and figured out that the kernel that i have on official ICS is insecure, maybe that's why i can't flash like you said
but now my mind is a mess, i can't use the cwm because it cannot reboot in recovery mode like i saw on another threads?
what i do now? install a custom kernel and gingerbread, them root and install cm10 on recovery mode?

Removing System Apps

I'm rooted and am trying to mount the system to remove bloatware apps... However everytime Titanium Backup removes it and I reboot it's still there...
Anyone have any ideas?

System is protected: you can't modify it while the phone is booted. You'll have to make a zip or whatever to delete it in recovery.

You have to be kidding me...
I've spent all day long trying to root this bastard phone and that didn't work then I managed it and now I can't disable, remove any apps ?
So much for HTC being dev friendly

Did you try just freezing the app instead?

The recovery flashed but wouldnt boot , managed to get round it when i discovered POB with his superboot Thank god for the desire C
Then i realised that i couldnt flash anything because I manged to install 6.0.2.8 as a boot img, and 6.0.3.0 as a proper recovery.
Then i didnt have any files on the device to flash boohoo so i managed to get ADB sideload working through the AIO One Toolkit... And managed to flash AHRD finally getting a working device,
As you see Im a seasoned vet at these things but the HTC One has been the first device that has stumped me....
----------------------
The apps issue is not unkwown for HTC however they havent done this for a while.... Back with the G2 they did exactly the same thing and yes ive frozen them but there should be away to remove system apps for us through root.... But i cant remember how, Throwing it into ADB Shell and requesting SU along with a Remount works fine but still would like to remove the apps.
Im also looking for someone with a locked phone... (Sim Locked) i have a theory and it worked on the Desire C Anyone wanna help?

Delete the apps with titanium and power off the phone. Don't do a restart.

Already tried that ^_^

You need to flash a custom kernel with a modified ramdisk to disable system protection Without doing that you're like deleting an app on windows with deepfreeze on it

Is that the only solution?
There are so many bloated useless and intrusive (cr)apps on this phone it's unbelievable.

Other solution is boot in recovery and delete it there. Either thru adb while in recovery mode, flashable zip or through file manager(if you're using TWRP). Other than that nope

Hmmm I'm thinking adb through recovery here but how do I got about doing this?

make a backup first in case you mess up something
Code:
delete("/system/app/xxxxx.apk", "/system/app/xxxx.odex", "/data/app/xxxxx.apk");

The best way to remove apps in recovery is through adb:
Code:
adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/abc.apk

the simple way is ROM CLEANER, but isn't available yet for the One.

I dont have a One, and dont plan on having one (ever, thanks to this thread! I think I'll stick to Sony, they have instructions to unlocking bootloader on their official website)
BUT, if the system is locked, it should be locked trough ADB too, so I guess what I'd try is install busybox, custom recovery, go into recovery, connected it to the PC (or a mac, but since we're on no-apple forum, I'll assume PC), mounting system there and doing your thing.
You can install busybox and custom recovery right?
Edit: never mind, I should really learn to read. Sometimes I think I'm dyslexic a little, just for words, not letters.
I did not see the 'recovery' part mentioned.
