I have updated modaco 1.3 and no keyboard on my Nexus One now, I have tried many time by holdding menu key or touch to input text but no keyboad show
Any ideas to resolved ?
I hope you made a nandroid back up because f you did then you can just restore and try flashing again. You could also grab an alternative keyboard from the. market or HTC_ime here
take the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk from /system/app/ in the ROM you are using and push it to system/app.
you can try
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.odex (if it exists)
adb push VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk /system/app/
adb push VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.odex /system/app/ (if the .odex exists)
adb shell reboot
(Sorry for not posting actual links - the system won't let me because I'm still a "new user.")
I already rooted my Sprint Hero using this (thread 583291) guide and can successfully tether using the WiFi Tether app. Yay!
Now I want to delete and/or replace the boot up sound (boot.mp3 located in /system/media/bootscreen) When I try to delete it right now (either through adb shell on my computer or from within a file manager app on the phone itself) I get permission denied or "read-only file system."
I see two threads regarding busybox, superuser, and adb remount. Thread 591303 which is dated 11/28/09 and is just for busybox and Thread 593952 which is dated 12/03/09.
I'm not sure which of these two I need to install. If it's the latter which includes ADB remount and superuser as well as busybox, then I'm not sure if I am supposed to unzip them before pushing them to my phone.
Could anyone point me in the right direction based on what I want to do (delete files on my phone - ANY file I want)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
All you should need to do is:
Code:
adb remount
rm /insert file path/file
So yours would be
Code:
rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3

will rm work without busybox?
As long as you can shell into the phone it should work. The rm command is to be run inside the shell.
So it actually should be
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
You want to install the busybox remount and superuser Rom if you want to run stock.
Or manually install busybox, superuser whitelist and adb remount
Biggz - looks like they are on stock. No adb remount.

Unfortunate, custom is so much better.
If you are on stock, do this:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3.old
exit
[you can also do rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 instead]

successfully removed (rm) the boot.mp3 in the shell - Thank you for that. I do want to replace it with a different one (I'll use the same file name since the .xml file still refers to it) so I'll need the cp command and I've noticed that it's missing in shell. I'm assuming I need to install busybox to get this functionality. I'm not really sure I want to install a complete new ROM and I don't mind manually installing busybox, adb remount, etc. What does installing "superuser whitelist" and "adb remount" allow me to do? I'm not sure what their potential uses are?
I installed busybox and have the cp command functionality now (see above post) but now when I try to copy anything to the /system/media/bootscreen folder I get "cp: cannot create '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied"
I type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" after getting into shell and typing "su" and getting the "#" prompt and it takes successfully (this is the only way I was able to actually "rm" the original boot.mp3 file to begin with.
See anything I'm doing wrong?
Nope, that is correct.
/system is normally mounted as read-only, so you can't add or delete anything. The mount command remounts it as read-write, so you can modify it as root.

Superuser whitelist is an application that warns you and asks for you to provide permission whenever an app tries to use the su binary to run as another user. You want this, as without it there's no way to know if an application runs as root.
Adb remount is a service that allows you to toggle the +RW bit on the /system/ partition through the shell. IIRC the one one floating around also kills color terminfo so you don't get all the extra chars on a windows PC when using the ls command. Just a matter of convenience.

I can't create/copy anything after getting into the shell and remounting as read-write. From CMD prompt I type:
adb shell
and get:
$
Then I type:
su
and get:
#
This is where I type:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then trying to copy anything into the /system directory gives me:
Permission denied
It will let me DELETE anything I want from this folder (as confirmed by now deleting boot.gif just to check) but it won't let me cp (copy) anything to this folder. WHY?
What the heck?
try these commands for the boot mp3
Code:
cd/
cd /androidsdk/tools/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push directoryonpcwhereyourbootmp3is /system/media/bootscreen/
make sure that you rename the mp3 to boot.mp3 or it wont work anyways.
the other option (this is what I do) is find a bootscreen that you like (I use this one). open the zip file useing winrar or 7zip, navigate into the files where you see the boot.mp3 and drag in YOUR (now renamed) boot.mp3 close the window, put the zip file onto the root of your sd card, boot into recovery, choose flash from zip, flash the file and your good to go.

tried this just now and still get "failed to copy 'C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3' to '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied"
It's the /system folder... I can push to /data/local all day long, but anything in the /system folder is read only. How the hell can I change this?
/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
Click to expand...

if this is the code you are using then that could be your issue
the code line should look like this
Code:
adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/
doing adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 says that you are trying to push the boot.mp3 to the directory bott.mp3 and there is no boot.mp3 directory the folder where you want the boot.mp3 is bootscreen. try the ubove code and see what happenes.

Nope, was a typo on my part (here in the post, not when issuing the command). Still permission denied. I don't think it's actually mounting the /system folder as writable. Is there a way to check after issuing the remount command?
A quick command of "ls -l" at root prompt gives the following for the /system folder:
drwxr-xr-x root root 2009-09-21 06:30 system
after you run the remount command what does it say? does it say remount succeded?
After typing the remount command it simply repeats my command back at me and returns to the "#" prompt.
honestly at this point what I would try doing is do a back up then flash a custom rom like fresh 1.1 that has all the tools built into it. then go into the cmd prompt and cd to where sdk is then type adb remount and see what it says then adb shell and try to cp the file to that directory.
this is more a test than anything else.

I'll try this - so you recommend trying fresh 1.1 then? I know it's just a test, but just in case I like the ROM and decide to stick with it, might as well try a really good one! I'll try this tomorrow - I'm beat! (Thanks again!)
DEODEXING
must have all these
Download XUltimate
Busybox installed
Root
sdk tools
1. Connect tablet to computer
2. Start xUltimate, we will now get the required files from our phone to deodex and zipalign it which we will describe in the 3rd step.
3. On the main menu of xUltimate, type "deodex" in the main menu then choose option 5 (Pull and deodex all). Everything will be done for you here. Don't worry. You will see all your finished files in the folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' which are located in the installation directory of xUltimate. If you have issues with the mobileprint.apk remove it and the mobileprint odex from /system/app/
4. move folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' folders to your sdcard, you can find these folders in the directory of xUltimate as described in the previous step.
5. Make sure the sdcard is not mounted to pc anymore
6. Open Windows Command Prompt and type the following commands.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl12 /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
chmod 644 /system/app/*
chmod 644 /system/framework/*
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl12 /system
sync
reboot recovery
7. Now data and cache reset in the recovery menu...
8. reboot
Now How to Share and backup
1. download the backup script http://www.multiupload.com/OBLSBY5Z9E
2. extract the file and place in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools or where your sdk platform-tools folder is
3.open command prompt [run cmd prompt as administrator] type "cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" next press enter then type "backup" or where your platform-tools folder is [don't include ""]
4. the files for heimdall sharing will be in cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools or where your platform-tools folder is also they will be on your sdcard
5. make sure when sharing you do a complete wipe you dont want to share your info
6.now lets get some roms posted!
Nice post, I was wondering how to do this just recently.
hi nice how to
i tried to download your backup script but the link is down.

This is a simple batch file using ADB..
With this you can use ADB to manage your file or APK , Backup, Push Your File to device, or pull file from device..
ADB Work on Stand by Mode (Home Screen) or in Recovery Mode, just set it up..
Extract ADBTOOLSv1.0.1.zip and you will find :
command.bat : Windows Batch Command
_BACKUP_OUT : folder where your backup process done and made
_FLASHING_OUT:
folder for flashing your :
kernel (place your boot.img here)
recovery (place your recovery.img here),
modem (place your modem.bin here)--only for gt p7300
_MODDING_FILE: Folder where your file were created by PULL process
Folder where file for PUSH process should be here
_BATCH_INSTALL : place your APK here for batch install
tools: ADB.exe and busybox binary
success_APK : A folder created for All apk from _BATCH_INSTALL move here after instalation.
Click to expand...

Notes:
ADB can access all file from device from CWM Recovery, especially CWMR 5.5.0.4
ALL you need to do is:
From Recovery menu, you need to mount /data and /system for ADB working..
THEN, From Command Prompt set ADB Mode to "recovery".(This Batch File set ADB mode to "Home Screen" by default)
So when you use ADB from Online device ( I mean a stand by device).. you dont need to change ADB Mode..
After you set up, you can use ADB as you like..

My previous post
inspiration from congox case
when you got a problem with bootlop and you forget make a nandroid backup
only have file from other ROM with flashable.zip and need to push the file from your computer to device
you have a recovery support with mount /system and mount /data (tested on CWM 5.5.0.4 and overcome CWM 5.1.2.6) and you can enter this menu while bootloop happen..
STEP 1 : MANUAL
Connect your device with computer
From device, Go to recovery - mounts and storage - mount /system and mount /data
From your computer go to adb terminal and type this
Code:
adb shell "ls /data/media/"
If you can see list of file from your device sdcard, so you make adb work for your device ..
Place your zip file on your path, says on C://backup.zip and you want to copy the file to /sdcard/download/ and type this code
Code:
adb push backup.zip /data/media/download/.
wait for copying progress done..
After you done with moving file to device sdcard, check content of your sdcard with this code
Code:
adb shell "ls /data/media/download/"
When you found your file from list, you can flash backup.zip from recovery
STEP 2 : WINDOWS BATCH FILE
I made a simple Batch File for windows (sorry i dont have MAC or LINUX distro) , this file will make a folder with name "emergency" in SDCARD and with your files inside that.
Extract the FLASHER.rar somewhere on your Local folder,example: on your " Desktop" Folder
in folder "FLASHER" you will find runme.bat and folder "files"
Rename your file ((flashable.zip files you want to send through ADB) to "backup.zip" and then Put your file into this path /FLASHER/files/myfiles/ (just replace the existing "backup.zip" with files from yours)
Connect your tab with Computer
Reboot into Recovery Menu from your device
From menu Mounts and Storage choose mount /system and /data
From your Computer go To Folder flasher and klik runme.bat
Follow the instruction on window untill copying process done and device reboot to recovery again (copying process will take a minutes depend on your file size)
Now you can flash a emergency ROM from recovery
Window instruction
Code:

Nice guide, thanks!!
I needed some help with mounting the system using adb through a batch file.
I use this command
adb -d shell mount -o remount rw /system
But the mounting fails (I have a rooted phone )
pleas help me I know this is off topic
2 possible reasons for this command to fail:
- /default.prop (on the phone) contains the following line: "ro.secure=1". Then you need another boot.img (in fact just a modified ramdisk). look for "unpack-bootimg.pl" or "unpackbootimage" you may find a guide how to do this manually (not too easy). A rooted kernel would also do the trick.
you can check your default prob with this command "adb shell cat /default.prop".
- in some cases mount requires more parameters. try "adb shell mount" and look for the line containing "/system". In front of system is the "device-name". in my case the mount command would look like this:
mount -o remount,rw /block/dev/mmcblk0p24 /system
hope this helps and sorry for answering off-topic questions....

you can use busybox and call the binary from the shell
i assume that your device in normal mode ( in home screen)..
here some example..
Code:
su
adb push busybox /tmp/.
adb shell "chmod 755 /tmp/busybox"
adb shell "tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
after you type "su" superuser will prompt a request, choose "allow".

Looks like Root has been achieved as there is the following guide on AndroidGeeks.

How to root the Kindle Fire HD 7 by pushing SuperUser via ADB commands
1. Download the SU zip file from HERE.
2. Extract the contents from the SuperUser zip in a single folder on your desktop.
3. Go to the newly created folder and open the ‘system’ directory, then open ‘bin’ and copy the ‘SU’ file and paste it in the folder you’ll be working from. Then, open ‘system’ directory and then ‘app’ folder and copy the ‘SuperUser.apk’ file and paste it in the same folder as the ‘SU’ file.
4. Connect your Kindle Fire HD 7 tablet to your PC via the original USB cable. Open Settings app on your Kindle Fire HD 7 and then select ‘Security’ and now you need to enable the ‘adb’.
5. Go to the folder that contains the SU and the SuperUser apk files. Press and hold ‘shift’ key and at the same time right-click in the folder’s white space. Select ‘Open command window here’.
6. Now you will need to push the files by using the command lines below:
adb shell
rmdir /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
7. Your device will restart and the local temp file was removed and now you will have a false link to the whole data directory. After the device reboots you have to enter the following commands:
adb shell
echo ‘ro.kernel.quemu=1′ > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
8. The Kindle Fire HD 7 will now reboot and you need to push the SU binary files. Enter the following commands:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
9. A new restart will be applied and now you can push the SuperUser apk file. Enter this final command line:
adb install Superuser.apk
10. That is it. You’ve finally flashed the root on your Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 tablet.
If you didn’t manage to flash this tutorial, then you should ask for more help in comments.
