READ IT BEFORE DOING IT
How to get into recovery
This is the way i figured how to get it into adb. I spent all day figuring this out.
It will take a couple tries but it will work
-Go to sdk folder then usb driver folder
-Make sure you have added to the inf file ; HTC Eris
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01
-Have a formated sd with allocation size of 4096.Don't format with phone do it with card reader or if you can't do it with usb...
-Boot your phone into HBoot with sdcard in.
-When the screen turns on wait a sec pop out sdcard make sure it doesn't scan sdcard.
-Start loop.bat or .sh
-Push volume up for recovery before wait 4 secs before your computer makes the sound pop it in.
-^^^Make sure you got around 3-5 secs before pushing it in
What to do when in adb recovery
-Do down volume and power and hit update it will fail.
-Adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
-Adb push root.zip /sdcard
-Have this command ready don't do it yet.
-Adb push update.zip /sdcard
-Press Hit run update.zip, as soon as you see a the green lil bar on your phone. PRESS ENTER ON CMD.
-Go to the partitions menu and mount system
-Go back and press update select install any zip from sdcard.
-Choose root.zip
-Reboot phone and install superuser.apk and allow it.
-Do adb shell then su if you see # you have root
-Download rom manager from market.
-Flash recovery ra or clockworkmod.
-^^^ if it doesn't let you, you messed up on rooting it.
Ill post a video of me doing it later. To lazy now

I forgot that my digital camera can take video, duh. I can make one too if you want.
What would you need? Would a shot of the HBOOT screen showing 1.49 S-ON and then hitting <VOL UP> booting into Amon_RA recovery (to prove root) do it?
It really sucks that this procedure is such a living hell. Blame HTC for locking these things down so tightly in the first place. This is my first rooted phone and being able to play around with the custom roms and to do an image backup is pretty cool.
I see a lot of people in the Incredible root thread using the same basic method to root are having a tough time too. Misery loves company I guess.

Alright sorry about that but it was like 4 in the mourning. I will use the other guys post for the slide and explain what I did.
The main thing I did different was as soon as pushed down to go to hboot I ejected my memory card at the exact same time. No scan or anything. Once I got to the part where I ran the loop I hit control C to stop it and and it was smooth sailing from there.
Memory card was a sandisk 8 gig that I formatted to 4096 in windows seven. I basically use both write up but I actually finished using the slide write
Place the Contents of "Slide Root.zip" into your Android SDK Tools folder.
Step 2.
Open Command Prompt or Terminal and CD to the SDK/Tools Directory.
Step 3.
Power on the Slide into the bootloader by Holding Down ( Volume Down + Power Button )
Step 4.
Now run your loop file from the prompt (either type "loop" in windows or "./loop.sh" in a *nix like)
Step 5.
Once your loop is running in your prompt, select Recovery from the bootloader menu.
Step 6.
When recovery loads, you should Have an Offline Device. You can use ctrl+c to stop your script & see.
If this doesn't happen, Power Off and try again..
Step 7.
Un-plug your USB cable from the back of your phone & Plug it back in for it to Detect ADB Correctly!!! This is an important step. At this point you can adb devices to see if you can see your device and that it is in recovery mode.
Step 8.
Hit Volume Up + Power button to Bring up the Selectable Menu
Select Update.zip from the menu. (This will fail, but we already know that! Select it anyway).
Step 9.
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (*nixlike users add a ./ in front of all terminal commands please.)
Step 11.
adb push slideroot.zip /sdcard
Step 12.
This is Very important!! Have this Command ready in your prompt before applying update.zip again!!
adb push update.zip /sdcard
step 13.
Hit run update.zip, as soon as you see a Little Bar appear under the text push Enter to execute the command in your prompt (adb push update.zip /sdcard )
Step 14.
In successful, you should see Clockwork Recovery. If unsuccessful, repeat steps 12 & 13.
Step 15.
Now, go to the Partitions menu and Mount System
step 16.
Go back one level & select install any zip from sdcard. Select slideroot.zip & apply update from zip (This will finish the Root process).
Step 17.
Reboot your phone & wait for it to load completely. To confirm that your slide is connected as a device use the command adb devices. If this works, you will see it as a device. Your prompt will say something like:
$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05YUP12710 device
Step 18.
adb install Superuser.apk (If this looks like it works, but says it cannot locate directories, make sure you can find your device using adb devices… If things still don't work, my best advice is to start over)
Step 19.
After Superuser is installed try to use adb to shell to your device.
adb shell
you will get a $
Then type su
Superuser should pop-up asking if you give permission, do so.
Your $ should turn into a #. If so, you have root.

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.

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.

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...

Hey man,
When you rooted did you flash the Amon-Ra recovery image? If so put the update zip on the root of your sd. Power down your handset. hold the volume UP and the power on will bring you to the recovery menu. Here you have options for back up,flash from zip etc...once there you can select whatever rom/update you want to flash. Remember nandroid is your friend always back up. Also as far as apps etc...check out Titanium back up or one of the other free back up apps in market. I hope this helps you out.
volume up + end button = Recovery
ok, im following the steps to III: Flashing a Custom Recovery. and when i get to the step :adb push recovery.img /sdcard it says :cannot start recovery.img: No such file or directory...is the recovery.img also supposed to gon on the root of my sd card? or just the tools folder, cause its there?
yes its suppose to be on the root of the sdcard too
still says cannot stat 'recovery.img': no such fire or directory
am i supposed to replace /sdcard with /J (which is what my phone comes up as in my computer) -tried that still didn't work...
can u link me to the tut u are using?

Sorry newser here, irc??
Is your phone actually rooted? To check, turn on your phone, then turn on USB debugging through Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging. Plug your phone into the computer via the USB cable.
In the run box of your computer, type cmd, then enter.
When the command window shows up, changed you your SDK tools directory. On my system it would be:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the following command
adb shell
You're rooted if it comes back with
#
If it comes back with
$
try the typing
SU
if it does not change from $ to # then you might want to try rooting again, and be sure to install the Amon_RA recovery
typing exit multiple times will back you out of adb, and the cmd window.
Hope that helps.
Edit: Of course that works for 2.1 leak 3 users as well.
Easier way for you tho, if you boot to hboot with the send and end buttons, you should see hboot with S off if you're rooted. If it's S On you're not.
Here's one for the genius'
1. I rooted my phone successfully
2. I edited the settings.db file to allow side apps
3. I copied to copy the original settings.db file (that I think I may have corrupted) back and when I restarted my phone, I get a blank screen.... it will not boot into android.
I have a backup of the original settings.db file, but I need to know if there is there a way that I can copy this file back from recovery mode so that I can boot. I do get command line access in through adb, but it will not let me gain su access. Any help would be great.
I would say just hard reset the phone. It'll restore the settings.db back to the factory one.

I'm fairly sure there's a way to completely reset the phone while in recovery mode. Haven't done it, but I read about it somewhere.
I did a reset, but the phone still goes blank after the Galaxy logo. If I can mount the sdcard in recovery I think I can fix it. But I can't get it mounted.
take it back and ask for a replacement. Use your imagination.
If this fails and you have a brick phone that you cant do anything with, then i personally would try to open it up and see if that internal microsd card can be removed and hooked up to a card reader. Ofc this is very risky, and i am in no way telling you that you should follow in my theoretical footsteps. Be careful and good luck.
Is there a way to mount the internal sdcard. I have adb access in recovery mode, but not root. I have removable sdcard, but it does not seem to access that one from the recovery mode.
Also, I see the drives in "My Computer", but when I click them they ask me to insert a card. Is there a way to manually mount it from the ADB shell?
you have adb access? So when you have it plugged in and you go to cmd and type adb devices, the phone pops up as connected?
Yes... I have shell access, just can't get root or mount anything. I had already rooted the phone before all this began.
Try this.
Boot into recovery and type this into your computer
"adb shell"
"mount /sdcard"
"exit"
"adb push <whateverfile> /<path>/<whateverfile>"
"adb shell"
"umount /sdcard"
"exit"
I haven't tried this on my phone, but it should work. Please post back if you have any problems.
That will fail because /<path>/<whateverfile> isn't readable/writeable by non-root users (aka adbd). It's /dbdata or something like that, if memory serves.
For the record, booting into recovery mode and clearing all user data will NOT restore a working settings.db. I think the OP is SOL, although I'd love to learn that I'm wrong! :-(
Yeah I tried "mount /sdcard" already.... No luck, it just tells me "usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory"
I forgot that you can't get root. The only thing i can tell you is to wait for the dump of the original rom whenever that comes out or take it to your ATT store and tell them it broke.
Mostly new to android, but could you create an update.zip which contains a valid dbsettings file and run it using the bootloader (hold down volume buttons and power up)? Would that then install it to the appropriate place?
If you can't recover the settings.db just take it back to the store and tell them the phone just started booting into a black screen. Leave it at that, turn it on for them to show them it does indeed do that. Then they will exchange it for you because it is so soon after the release date. (ask me how I know) :-/. Always check the db file before you copy it over.

If you can access the phone in adb shell, then you might be able to access the recovery console by going to your computer's command line, getting into the SDK tools folder, and typing "adb shell reboot recovery"
Hay, my name's Nick, been reading the posts for a while, decided to join. Iv'e been wanting to root my T-mobile vibrant so i can get a more streamlined ROM will less features to make the ones i use go smoother and faster and get the full potential out of the device. I rooted it no problem with one click root, installed clockwork rom manager, and titanium backup, installed clockwork recovery (i love the clockwork orange icons by the way) put the latest "insanity 0.6.7.zip" in the root of the internal SD, and hit the "install rom" option on the rom manager and selected the .zip, and it made my phone go into the standard recovery mode, no option to install any .zip files. So i opened the rom manager and manually put it into CWM recovery so i could manually install the rom. It looked like it was going to work, but then it sent my phone back to the recovery screen with white text that said "install update.zip" so i did what it said, and it sent my phone into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, but when ever i try to recover my backup or access any files it says "no files found, operation canceled" or something like that. It also fails to mount via USB. I can get it to go to download mode but have not tried odin yet, because im on a mac (working on getting bootcamp working now to run windows)
Odin seems like my only option now right? anyone have any idea ware I went wrong? it must have been the incorrect update.zip file right?
I dont think u flashed a vibrant rom
Just mount your internal sd from clockwork and copy over a vibrant rom, and flash

have any idea why it wont let me mount my sd card? that makes me worried it wont connect to a Pc in download mode but i haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.
I'd download your rom of choice, there are a ton that are perfect fit first timers. Trigger and Bionix-V seem very stable. Pop your external sd into your computer, copy the .zip for the rom, go into recovery, select install from zip and flash your rom.
Odin is last resort. I'm not familiar with insanity, but maybe it was a bad download?
when it booted up it went to my normal "vibrant" screen, then to an unfamiliar "galaxy s 19000" screen. Im assuming there is a difference between galaxy s and vibrant right?

tried that, when i try to to install zip from sdcard it says "no files found"
i assume it's looking for files on the internal and not the external right? so i tried mounting the external sd card from the mounts and storage menu, and i got an error message that said "E:INFO is WRONError mounting SDEXT !"
In recovery, do you see any folders when you click install from zip, or is that when you get an error message?
If you see folders, can you navigate to external_sd?
i click "install zip from SD" and it brings me to a menu with the options to apply sdcard.update.zip or choose zip from sd card, and when try ether one of those options it says "No Files Found"
I have a rom in a zip on the root of my external now, just cant get to it.

not your external sd, zip should be on your internal sd
since you can get into recovery you can try using adb to push the zip from your computer to the phone
install android sdk and drivers for vibrant then using command prompt navigate to the following directory in the android-sdk folder
\platform-tools\
then execute the following command again in cmd prompt
adb push <dir for zip> /sdcard
if that doesnt work then odin will be your only choice and you must be in download mode to do that

If you can access xda from your phone,download a vibrant rom from there.
Once it's downloaded,it will be in the root of your internal sd,under download.You can then flash it in cwm,or when the download is complete,click on it and choose Rom Manager to open it,and you can flash it from there.
Here's a link to Bionix 1.3.1,on xda.

Never rename rom zips to update.zip leave it at bionix.zip and flash through clockwork mod recovery.
now i cant figure out how to get any of the ADB commands to work, i have ADB running and it put a list of commands in he terminal but when i try any of those commands it says "command not found"
i tried
"adb devices" (c-bash: adb: command not found)
"./adb devices" (directory not found)
and "devices" (-bash: devices: command not found
)
am i doing something wrong?

first you have to be in the android sdk directory and second you must run the sdk manager process and download the rest of the sdk, the bit that you download from the website does not include the full android sdk, you will also need to have java runtime environment 5 or later installed on your pc.
also if you are running adb in linux you need to sudo or su adb commands
in linux you will need to restart the adb daemon
su
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
hope this helps
i ran the SDK and AVd manager and installed the rest of the SDK packages, then found the ADB file and drug it into the terminal, that gave me the list of commands. I plugged in the phone and tried "adb devices" and it said "command not found" tried quitting and restarting terminal a few times and still nothing

thats a security feature within linux it wont show what you are typing but rest assured its registering keystrokes, and you dont drag and drop to terminal
assuming the androidsdk is in your home directory you would type
cd /home/username/android-sdk/platform-tools
then ./adb devices (this is just a check to make sure your phone is being recognized)
i type
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
and it tells me
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools: is a directory
then i type ./adb devices
and it says
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
im getting really confused, it seems like im making a really simple mistake i just cant figure out what im doing wrong

ok so you are doing this from mac then? i apologize as i have no experience messing with android using a mac, id imagine itd be much like linux although terminal commands may be different. If i were you id google using adb commands in mac os and see what you can find, personally i use windows normally and am only just learning how to work linux
Looking for anyone with a new NS4G to dump a copy of the radio. I messed up and flashed a rom that had a gsm radio attached. rendering my phone useless as far as phones go.
root
post a good root method and how to do the dump. I can have it hotlinked in 1 hour
i used http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/
worked just fine.
Once you're rooted, do
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/ns-cdma-radio.img count=12583040
Then upload that ns-cdma-radio.img somewhere ;D
?
ok thanks, i will link it when finished
the dumped file will be in my phone memory, correct?

It will be on your internal storage that you can mount as a drive on your pc, yes.

may take longer than an hour as I am doing the SDK install

You don't need the platform api, just the SDK tools/platform-tools , that'll save you a lot of download time.
yes i should have mentioned that. i didn't install the SDK either just the tools.
just like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786

fastboot command wont work? troubleshooting as we speak

instal drivers?
look to the 2nd rooting method i posted. the 2nd file you download are the drivers. you would install it when your phone is in fastboot mode then go to device manager and upgrade the driver
unzip the rar file and make sure to select x86 or x64 driver for your pc.
you should be able to type "fastboot devices" hit enter and it will return your phone if you have the drivers installed
Also the simplest method to get the drivers might be to put phone into fastboot mode, plug USB to computer, then install PDA Net (which automatically installs the phone drivers). I personally could not get the drivers to install manually on Windows 7, had to use the PDA Net method.
CMD is giving my a Permission Denied with this command
adb shell dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/ns-cdma-radio.img count=12583040

Try this: (I am assuming you've already finished rooting and installed superuser)
run adb shell
that should give you a "$" prompt in your command window (you've just shelled into your phone)
then type "su" (without the quotes)
On your phone, a superuser request should pop up on the screen, hit Allow
Your command prompt should change to a #
then type
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/ns-cdma-radio.img count=12583040
*EDIT: made a typo in the original writeup of this post and left out the count parameter*
(no adb shell required before the dd command this time since you're already shelled into the phone)
here it is
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H3Z7RQLZ radio image for you
Also, from the first root method I cant find this file and move forward
4. Tap on the gray box that says Mount R/W
5. Tap and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old
6. Once renamed, download and install the app called ROM Manager from Android Market
7. Once installed, open ROM Manager app and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.

i didn't do that i just ran ROM manager and flashed the latest Clockwork. you're backing up the old recovery. in that step, good idea, sure. needed, not really.

Actually the point of renaming that script is to prevent clockwork from being overwritten by the stock recovery.
The default stock rom is set up to re-flash the stock recovery from cache on bootup if it detects that it's been changed (which is very annoying if you *want* clockwork recovery).
thank you very much for uploading that for me
now correct me if i'm wrong netarchy but i would use fastboot to flash the img file?
I just want to double check before i mess up once again. i'm pretty smart and a quick learner but not a pro like yourself
worked?
