Need Mac Beta Testers: Interface for Pushing Files

Hello,
I need beta testers running Mac OS X to test a new application.
This application is for people who are either uncomfortable or unwilling to use Terminal and ./adb for pushing files to their device.
This first beta version is just to test how it works on different computers. It pushes the file to the sdcard of the phone using ./adb. The only input needed from the user is to select the file.
Later releases will let the user choose which folder on the device to copy to, but the next release will probably just involve pushing .apk to the /system/app folder.
Please let me know the results.

Beta 2:
http://derekcwilkinson.com/Push_File_Beta_2.zip
Change Log:
Added option to choose the location that the file is to be pushed to.
Added Recovery application
Added Reboot application.
Planned Updates:
Pull File - Ready
Device Backup - PM me if you know a good way to backup with ./adb (mine is taking too long)
Device Backup w/SD - PM me if you know a good way to backup with ./adb (mine is taking too long)
Install .apk - testing
Uninstall .apk - testing
Restore Backup - going to take awhile (need to get device backup working first)
Restore Backup w/SD - going to take awhile (need to get device backup working first)
Flash ROM - testing

is this an actual program or a script?

Works fine for me

It's a program that runs a script
It's just a test to see how it works, I will turn it into a more "real" application later.

I've updated it to Beta 2

Ah, you're using a different language. That could be the problem. Is the folder path still /Documents/Android/SDK/tools on your computer?
Also, when you run it in Automator, where does the error occur?

The folder path in my iMac is /Users/Rainbow/Documents/Android/SDK/tools
the error occur after a few seconds after click OK after choosing the file to be sent to MemoryCard

Okay, if it doesn't occur until then, that means it sees the device and android SDK. Is the SD card mounted on the computer? are you copying to /sdcard/ as the file path?

No, sdcard no is mounted.
i don't understand this_ " are you copying to /sdcard/ as the file path?" sorry

When that window pops up (the one in your screenshot) are you putting /sdcard/ in the text box?

im going to try your app out =]
excited.

Sick of windows..
I am so sick of using a windows computer to do anything on my Hero so as soon as I get home tomorrow I will be trying this out on my system. SL 10.6.4 and I will be so happy to do it..

I'm using root explorer so this isn't really necessary for me anymore.

I'm a bit confused--PushFile is for pushing files from your Mac to phone (in other words, a computer-side application), while Root Explorer is a file manager for the phone (a phone side app), that, unless I've missed something, does not replicate the functionality that PushFile attempted to provide. Am I missing some cool new feature of Root Explorer that lets you easily transfer files from your Mac to your phone?

No instant root for Hero under 2.1?

There was an application called instantroot that roots HTC hero running 1.5 but until the software was upgraded nothing was done for the instantroot application. Do you have information about that? Is the developer still working on it?

Not heard of it for a while, but this method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118 works on 2.1 fine with little issues.

Thanks but I'm still looking for a very easy way to do the root. I don't know why(may be I'm afraid) but I still hesitate to root my hero. I'll think about it again, thank again.

Following that link pulser gave will give the easiest way to root your hero.
Its thanks to that I'm able to root it with no problems whatsoever.
Good Luck!! Don't let yourself stay unrooted!!!

Ok. I'll try later as the villainrom web site is not reachable now.

Here's the instructions as posted.
Hi all,
I believe I have managed to find a way to root the 2.1 RUU for GSM Hero, completely using the work of wag3slav3 over at XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724741), so thanks to him
I took his Droid Eris root and used the correct files for our Hero, and thanks to daentech on IRC, we tested the process and it worked. Here are the conditions used in the test:
1) GSM HTC Hero installed with the 2.1 ROM based on RUU (on this occasion an update.zip was used, as the user involved didn't want to lose root obviously). That zip is unrooted and stock, taken straight from the RUU and converted to update.zip.
2) Booted into ROM, and enabled USB debugging. ADB was installed and set up on this machine, as per this guide - http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1735
3) Then downloaded this file: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/uploads/GSMRoot.zip
4) Extract it to a folder on your computer. Open the command prompt using Start > Run > cmd.exe (and press enter)
5) use cd to get into the folder you stored the extracted files.
6) Run the command "runindos.bat"
(If you use linux, put adb in your path folder, and then download this shell script: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/uploads/runinlinuxadb.sh and execute it as normal. Rest will be same as in windows. )
7) Ideally, the phone should sit there for a bit, with some things appearing on screen like
Files copied and permissions set, rebooting HTC Andriod 2.1
Your phone will now reboot into normal mode, then reboot into recovery mode
If it does not reboot the second time, wait 10 minutes and manually reboot and begin again
Your phone is now rebooting in Rooted Recovery mode, do a backup and load yourROMs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it will reboot a couple of times. You will hopefully end up sitting in recovery with a blue 'care bear' in the background
If so, you now have a custom recovery installed. Do a nandroid, and flash a custom ROM like VillainROM 12 or whatever. You should now have root.
8) To further enhance the usefulness of recovery flash VR 12 from here: http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=1807 which includes a modified recovery that wipes better than the stock Amon-Ra
If you don't get it to work, please post any errors or details of what happens, and copy and paste your entire command prompt window contents into a
Code:
[/quote] box in the forum window so we can see what's happening.
Hope this works

I would love to take credit for that guide but the user ante0 created it (such a simple method I overlooked). Here is it quoted. It is missing pictures but should make enough sense (i hope). It is highly recommended to have the latest HTC Sync installed (link in my sig) for this guide.
Tools needed:
Android SDK (Links below)
HTC Sync (Links below)
Winrar - to extract Android's SDK files.
Patience and time.
1. Getting ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Okay. You now need to get ADB, which is a part of android's SDK. It can be obtained here http://developer.android.com/sdk/downlo ... indows.zip
or if it's updated when you read this you can go here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download it. Get the Windows version if you use a windows PC.
Next we need to "install" it. This is done by simply extracting it to your harddrive (Install WinRar, then rightclick on the zip file). I chose C:\android-sdk-windows\. (Actually I chose C:\, the folder in the zip is named android-sdk-windows, so it goes there by default.)
After that is done we are now done with the "installing" part.
2. Setting up environment variables (access adb from outside of \sdk\tools directory.)
Now that we have extracted all files we need to set up environment variables to make our lives easier.
I always do this, because if you don't you need to be in the sdk\tools folder at all times...
Okay, so here we go...
Windows XP:
Rightclick on "My computer" and select "Properties".
click on the "Advanced" tab in the box that appears, looks like the pic below.
Image
Click on the button named "Environment Variables".
Now, doubleclick on the text entry named "Path" in the lower list box.
at the end of it, enter "might\have\other\entries\before\;C:\Path\To\SDK\Tools".
In my "path" it looks like this ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\".
(";" is required at the start so windows knows it's a new entry.)
Click on OK to exit out of the dialog, then OK again to get out of My computer's properties.
Now we have it set up.
Windows 7/Vista:
This is similar to Windows XP's setup of environment variables.
Rightclick on "My computer" and select Properties.
In the System window that appears click on "Advanced System settings" located in the left list.
Click on the Advanced tab in the box that appears, then on the "environment variables" button.
Same thing here. Doubleclick on "Path" located in the lower list box.
At the end of it, enter "might\have\other\entries\before\;C:\Path\To\SDK\Tools".
In my "path" it looks like this ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\".
(";" is required at the start so windows knows it's a new entry.)
Now click on OK, then OK again to exit.
Alright, all set up!
3. Making sure USB works...
Use this guide: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=379
4. Using ADB
I won't list all commands you can use here. I will only list some examples...
Remember to plug your phone in your usb cable (I've forgotten sometimes... lol)
Start by opening a command prompt.
This is done by opening up the startmenu then click on "Run..." (Alternative way: Windowskey + R).
In the "Run..." box, enter "cmd" without quotes.
If you have some knowledge of using a cmd prompt you don't need to read the next part.
To navigate you mainly use the commands CD and DIR.
Here's an image of what it looks like
Image
C:\Documents and settings\jwork> tells you what your current working folder is.
To get out of it, use the command "cd ..".
This will go back one folder, so your new location will be C:\Documents and settings>
One more "cd .." will take you to C:\.
Now, lets say you have a folder named Images in C:\. To enter it you use "cd Images".
If you want to list all files in that folder, enter the command "dir".
Now you might have a image named image01.jpg in that folder, that you want to get to your phone.
Use the command adb push image01.jpg /sdcard/
It should notify you now if the push was successful.
You can check if the image is on your sdcard by using the command "adb shell ls /sdcard/".
That should conclude this guide...
One more thing, if you just enter "adb" it will show a list of all commands with descriptions.

Have you ever heard of Universal Androot? It is only one click away to root your hero2.1.
It's working on my hero.

Universal Androot? Never heard of it. But it looks great and easy. Can I also install another firmware after I root my device with it?

Can I install another firmware like FroydVillain 1.2.2 OTA on my hero after rooted it with this application?

If it installs a custom recovery image then yes you should be able to. If not try installing ClockworkMod and then installing AmonRA - once you have root.

You are the best. Thank you.

Android Commander.

I just want to give props to a program for windows called Android Commander. I am not sure if its been mentioned on the Vibrant forum yet, but it got me out of a major jam today.
Android Commander is basically ADB with an easy to use interface. It lets you pull and push files to and from your pc to your Android device.
Story:
I tried to MM the Androdena theme but it seems the framework was corrupted and caused me to keep me in a forceclose loop not letting mount or boot or really do anything. I did make a nandroid backup but some how deleted the CW update zip from my sd at an earlier date and could only boot up into the stock recovery. I was ok with having to reflash the stock rom using Odin, but needed some important pictures that I took for work. Needless to say I starting freaking out. I have ADB set up but only know a few basic commands and I'm sure what I needed to be done could have been done from there. I started searching for solutions on Google and found this awesome program.
I was first able to move the picture folder from my sd card to my pc, then move and rename the CW update.zip to root of the sd card in turn letting me boot into CW recovery and restoring my nandroid.
The only thing I needed to do was to make sure my device was online through ADB and Android Commander was able to find the device and show me all my files and such. Its a great program, and I highly recommend it if you are not familiar with ADB.

I will need to check this out when I get home. I want an easy way to remove the bloatware on my phone.

it seems like an interesting program, and would be good, but for me it doesn't show that i have root. it tells me "root no" and when i use the console in it and use the su command it tells me no. but still a good program over all, i did some looking around and i believe it will only show you have root access if you have an APP2SD installed. i might be wrong with that, but atleast if anyone else has the same trouble with it please let me know if you figure a work around.
ps, you can view root files and folders just not push or pull anything from them.

Yep, I am seeing the same thing.
I did some research on Google and this is what I came up with:
"adb remount and adb root are protected commands and need either a rooted kernel or a flashed recovery model to run" - Source: Rastaman-FB

ah I see. That's good to know. I guess ill be sticking with just the normal ADB. But I think the program will still be very useful for other stuff considering we don't have to mount the USB so no rescan media after the unmount. That alone is a keeper for me. Thanks again for the information pal.

I must say
I have been using android commander since his 1st beta on all my android rooted phone..
It is the best android tool Out there.
Im usually private about the tools I use but
Android Commander (By PanPiotr) is the best and easiest adb GUI tools out there.
Features
Explore files:
- copy multiple files/dirs between Phone and PC
- copy multiple files/dirs between Phone folders
- delete multiple files/dirs from Phone
- new dir and rename options
- drag&drop multiple files/dirs in to progrm
- drag&drop files/dirs between program tabs
- partitions size info
- bookmarks
Manage apps:
- windows integration
- backup multiple apps to any dir on Phone/PC
- batch/single apps install
- install as private
- update
- batch/single uinstall apps
- uninstall with option to keep data or not
Console:
- type any shell command
- run sh script from PC
and more…
- flashing zip and img files
- options to reboot, reboot to recovery, reboot to bootloader, power off phone
- screenshots (beta)

Stupid question. I accidently deleted my update.zip file and I attempted to reflash another rom. Of course now I'm stuck at the Vibrant Logo and tried to use this app. It says its trying to connect, but never does. I have SDK installed, but I think its the version from when I was tinkering with the G1.
I got into Download mode with the BIG yellow triangle, but my PC never seems to show anything connected via USB unless I try connecting via Recovery.
This app sounded like something would help me since I'm not very good at ADB, but I guess I'm having issues getting over the first hurtle is seems. LOL

Extracting image from GSLATE Tablet

Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a LGV909(GSlate Tablet) and the Xoom. How would I go about extracting some of the apks off the v909 to import on the Xoom.
Thanks,

Errrrmmm....easiest way would be ADB...but your might need root on both devices.
pretty much turn on USB Debugging. Plug in the GSlate.
adb pull /remote/file/on/device.apk C:\Where\You\Want\TheFile
turn it around to put it on the xoom
adb push C:\Where\You\Want\TheFile /remote/file/on/device.apk
If that isn't detailed enough you should probably read up on ADB, its pretty novice stuff that really needs to be known for any [email protected]

Download ES Explorer from the Market.
Launch it on your tablet and choose Menu > Manager > App Manager
Find the app you want to backup APK and long tap and hold on it and choose "Backup".
The APK backups are saved to your sdcard/backups/apps.
You can get them to the Xoom using various methods like DropBox.

I didn't know GSlate has been released.
Is this the 3d Android tablet?

Well most are /data/ or /system/data/
you can type adb shell to get to a command line on the device
cd /from/dir /to/dir - to change directories
ls - to list contents of a directory
both those should give you a general idea of where to go.

Yeah details on how you got your G-slate already. I'm curious as to how it compares with the Xoom.

I was able to extract from the xoom, but not the LG,
When I list the devices, only the Xoom comes up. I am guessing the I need a driver for the slate. .
I will try the ES explorer mentioned in the earlier post

Quick and Easy Method that, although I can't explain why it works, worked for me:
1. Download "File Station for Tablets" from the Market (it's free)
2. Wait for Install
3. Launch the App
4. Tap the Menu button at the very top right part of the screen
5. Tap "Special Folders"
6. Tap "Root Directory"
7. Double-tap "App"
8. Boom - here's all the stock apps that came with the G-Slate. Copy and paste whatever you need to the SD card, then transfer from SD card to computer/dropbox/etc.
9. Transfer apk onto your Xoom, install. DONE

Asus programs on modded tablet, and some CM9 questions

Hi All,
I set out to flash my tablet back to stock with the goal of copying some of the awesome asus-specific widgets and applications and installing them back on my tablet after I re-rooted/modded it. I accomplished part of this goal by finding some of the .apk's I wanted, like the Asus weather & battery widgets, the Supernote.apk, anda few others (I still wasn't able to find the Swype Keyboard.apk file)
Anywho, I tried to install the .apk's on my tablet after re-installing cm9 and rooting it but it just says "Application not installed". Anyone have any ideas? And can anyone elaborate on how to copy that swype keyboard APK that I desperately want? I found the other .apk's in the /system/app folder but swype wasn't there.
My other questions relate to CM9:
1) is there any way to decrease the boot time for CM9, or at least customize the boot screen?
2) I'm currently running an older version of cm9 (rc0 unofficial) and I have the stable rc1 of cm9 but when i tried to flash it, it didn't work (i can get the exact error message if needed). Did I do something wrong in updating or is RC1 not compatible with the device? Should I just wait till CM10 comes out?
3) When I initially rooted/flashed cm9, I was able to connect my tablet to my computer and the root of the / directory, but after flashing stock and trying again, I don't have the same luck. Is there some step I missed?
I appreciate any responses, thanks.

I haven't tried this, but it may work. If you have ADB on your computer, try doing an adb push [name of file].apk /system/app/
If you can't do that, try copy/pasting them there using a root explorer on your device itself. Make sure the permissions are set properly (I don't remember what they are off the top of my head).
After doing that, reboot. See if it works.
As for your CM Questions:
1) I'm not sure if you can reduce the time. For customizing the animation, look at something like Rom Toolbox Pro (which also includes a root explorer like I mentioned above).
2) All CM9 TF300T downloads are located here: http://get.cm/?device=tf300t RC1 is listed there so I'm assuming you did something wrong (what's the error you get?)
3) Did you re-root? I'm not sure I understand.

2) All CM9 TF300T downloads are located here: http://get.cm/?device=tf300t RC1 is listed there so I'm assuming you did something wrong (what's the error you get?)
3) Did you re-root? I'm not sure I understand.

I apologize for the vagueness of my original post. I made this thread in anticipation of flashing everything back to stock, trying to copy over those Asus-specific .apk's (which I managed to do), and then re-rooting/re-flashing CM9.
I flashed the .30 firmware to get back to stock and found the Asus widgets & apk's I was looking for in the /system/app directory. After some bootloops and other fun, I was able to flash back to CM9 and when I tried to install the .apk's I immediately get the message "The Application was not installed"
Of the asus items I wanted, Supernote and Polaris Office were my top two picks, and I was able to acquire Supernote through 3-rd party means and install it. So I'm stoked to have Supernote on a CM9-flashed tablet. I wasn't able to find Polaris Office so I hope to at least be able to find a work-around to install that.
In response to #3 - yes I re-rooted my tablet (lost root with the .30 firmware) and previously I was able to browse the root directory of my tablet while it was connected to my computer. Now, I can only browse the SD card. I still haven't figured out a solution to this, but I just transfer files to my memory card and then to my tablet from there. I'm looking into how to do OTA file transfers via bluetooth or wi-fi, if at all possible.

So did you try what I suggested in my post (pushing the files to /system/app on your tablet, rather than trying to install them through File Browser or whatever)?
I'm not sure if they rely on any custom Asus framework stuffs, like with many other OEMs. I personally doubt it because Asus barely changes anything. I think it *should* work, but can't guarantee it.
The easiest way to get the files to /system/app (if you're not very ADB or tech. savvy) is to download a root explorer (like Rom Toolbox Pro has, for example) and copy all the .apks that you want from your sdcard to /system/app.

I haven't tried pushing the files via ADB yet. I just wiped out my computer so I need to re-install the drivers to get the tablet recognized and/or the the Android SDK.
In the 3rd point of your point, do you mean my external SD card or the internal memory?

the Transformer Pad has a good portion of internal memory partitioned as an sdcard and mounts it at /sdcard/. I haven't used an external SD card with my tablet yet. Either one should work.
I also found out that Polaris Office has some library files that you probably should grab as well. You can find them at:
/system/lib/libpolarisoffice_tablet.so
/system/lib/libpolarisofficedump.so
/system/lib/libtfapps-polaris.so
/system/lib/libtflua-polaris.so

There might be some library files for the other apps. You might want to look around in the /system/lib folder for other libraries as well.

That's awesome, thanks. If I'm able to get this working I will post a guide for others to follow. I ended up just signing up for the swype beta (which I think is stupid since I paid for that app when I bought my tablet, shouldn't have to get a reduced version)
I was able to find a working supernote.apk app on a 3rd-party website and it installed and worked perfectly.
My other issue I'm having is I try to push the files with ADB and it tells me my tablet is read-only? it gives that same message no matter which directory I try to push to. I have the superuser app and have root, but superusers' log shows the 'adb shell' is consistently being denied root permission (if i try to do su or something similar). Any thoughts?

You need to remount your system as read-write. Trying doing an adb remount. If that doesn't work, try typing the following into a terminal emulator:
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Try ADB pushing again after that.

if you are able to install the apps by adb push. then maybe a .zip file can be created and use CWM to install all the stock apps.

Well part of the issue is that I can't "su" while in adb shell. It says permission denied. When I type ADB devices normally, it'll list my device. But when I'm in "adb shell" it doesn't show anything. "adb remount" gives me the message "error: device not found".
Any other suggestions?

That's weird. I've never seen that before. Are you certain that your adb drivers are installed properly? You can always use a terminal emulator on your device itself to remount the system as read/write and then use adb afterwards.

I'm pretty sure my drivers are installed correctly. Everything shows up in device manager, "adb devices" lists my device, fastboot flashes files just fine, so yea.
And yea I have the terminal emulator on my tablet and I've used it before for some stuff (installing Ubuntu) so I will try the steps you guys have mentioned. I'm in the process of trying out some other ROM's right now (Hydro atm, and then probably CleanROM) so once I go back to stock and have access to the appropriate files I'll try these steps.
