I tried loading the Aria into an adb shell, then tried the reboot command (just "reboot"). It replies "reboot: no such tool".
I also wrote a quick script with GScript and ran it with su permissions (my phone is rooted with clockworkmod, and liberated), and the same message showed on screen.
I also made a separate script that just runs "ls /system/bin" and I can clearly see the "reboot" command in the directory. Again, when I try to run /system/bin/reboot with su priveleges, it gives the same message.
I'm tempted to think that the reboot command in /system/bin simply runs the command "echo reboot: no such tool". Does anyone have any more information about this? I'd like a script that would use the reboot command to reboot into recovery mode.
I believe you should be able to use "shutdown /r" to reboot the phone.. probably needs to be done with sudo though..

I can reboot the phone using ADB by typing adb reboot... Or in terminal on the phone itself I su and then enter reboot and voila...
Not sure if this helps or not.
Edit: I am also running CM6 which has busybox installed.
The way I do it from shell is to type 'exit', this takes you out of shell. Then I type 'adb reboot'
Your path is probably not correct on the device. To change the path you need to edit init.rc and add the correct path.
I have had this same problem and now think that the tool unrevoked is messing the path variable up.
Let me know what you discover.
Same
I also have the same problem. I checked init.rc and i didnt find something about reboot. I run S5 Sensenation ROM. I will check again, But i happy to see that im not the only one who have the problem.....

OK. Firstly, I have extensive experience with rooting moto droids and custom roms. That said I got cocky and didn't do enough homework trying to root my girls Eris and proceeded following the instructions in the "1.5 to rooted 2.1" thread. Step 1 went fine. I THINK I have root access. Anyway, like I was tired and couldn't get adb shell working so I left it at that with intent to finish today when I get home from work. Now she's telling me her icons are different and some are linking to different programs. Any ideas? Second, can someone point me in the direction of an adb shell how to, on my Droid I can just use terminal emulation and don't actually need a computer so I'm not too familiar with the process... sorry for the stupid newborn questions, don't pull the flame throwers out yet, thanks!
You can use terminal emulator, same thing for the most part as adb... I use that more then adb, faster then having to connect to a pc IMO.
I tried the terminal emulator and got adb not found or not allowed or some craziness like that. Does that mean I didn't root like I thought? Also, any clue about the icon s changing or linking to other apps like shes claiming? I'm going to try again when she gets home
In the terminal emulator you would not need to type adb.. adb is the program you would be using on a pc to talk to the phone... what is it that you are trying to type through adb or the terminal?
III: Flashing a Custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.
1. Download this file: Recovery.zip
2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.
3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"
step 3. im an ass. ok so dont type the adb. like i said, not much exp in this part... im guessing i dont tye shell either, but i do type mount?

Oh I see, for that yes you will need to get the SDK setup on your PC as per step 2... There is another thread that has a batch file that does all of this for you. You still need the SDK though.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651669
ok, i have the sdk, i followed these instructions to the letter, and i still couldnt get it running last night, where in the sdk do i do this from or is it a command promp, or can i use the terminal emulator?
yes in the command prompt, typically adb.exe will be in your tools folder.
also, and i know im being a pain now, but by adb does it mean the adb in the tools directory of the sdk, i click it and it runs a script then dissapears.

yes, adb needs to be ran through the command prompt, if you click on it in windows it wont work... read the thread I linked you to, you wont need to run adb if you use that method, it does it all for you.
yeah im downloading the file now, but im just curious, now i want to be able to do it just to do it. i hate when i cant figure crap like this out,
so far ive done this, opened command promp, put in C:\androidsdk\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb.exe and it runs a script then nothing

Yeah, once you do what he states and type...

Backuped the Infusion 2.0 rom in cwm recovery 4.0.0.8 and i cannot restore it in cwm 4.0.0.2 in cf-root. The MD5 sum does not match!:
Can i do anything to fix this, it`s quite annoying.
I solved my problem bit i`d like to know for future events.
-SOLVED-
I'm really really sorry to tell you but when the MD5 does not match, you're stuck.

Try restoring the parts manually using an "advanced restore". that should work.

and this tutorial on how to use ADB
Check if your phone is detected by ADB
Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in:
cd C:\**your sdk name**\tools (Press Enter)
adb devices (Enter) You should see your device listed
adb shell (Enter) you should see $ in the next line
**After you obtain root**
su (Enter) you should see # in the next line if you are already rooted
**you may need to allow adb shell to run as root. Look at the phone and see if Superuser.apk is asking for your permission to allow adb root access. Click on "Remeber my selection" and select yes.
Now you are all set to run adb commands as root or as a regular user
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
**Note: for a list of commands that you can type using adb type "adb" in cmd
Lil' Help... New stock SGS2 phone arrived today... I successfully flashed Entropy512's "stock kernel + rooted stock system image" via Odin3 (v1.85). Worked perfect, phone rebooted, now I have root. 2nd step, I extracted the zImage from Codeworkx's CWM tar file (put zImage in same PC desktop folder as my adb.exe files). I want to use adb push to push zImage file to phone so I can avoid the triangle/counter of death. Anyway, I got this error in my CMD window:
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage
error: device not found
What went wrong? The "phone" and "card" are recognized by windows explorer, but when trying to use adb commands, get "error: device not found"
Thx.

Try to start by verifying that adb can see your phone.
type "adb devices" (no quotes)
This should return a number, if not, the phone is not being seen by adb.
If not check drivers, cable, try different usb port.
If it does return a number you are properly connected.
Proceed to:
adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Might need to as su if prompt shows $ instead of #
Try adb remount
i didnt realize so many people cared about a little triangle that you see for about 3 seconds on boot.

You're missing drivers or haven't enabled USB debugging. Drivers for USB Mass Storage are built into Windows, drivers for ADB are not. Not sure what the procedure is for installing Windows ADB drivers... It's one of the reasons I almost never use Windows for working with my phone.
I've heard Droid Explorer might come with a drivers package, not sure.

PDANET is free and simple to install on any Windows based machine. Less than 30 seconds and it recognises every phone I have tried so far. You just need to be sure to get the right one for you OS, 64 or 32 bit.
I sent to my kids that are too lazy to install the Android SDK.....

I appreciate everyone's input... OK, here's where I stand:
adb does now recognize phone. After typing "adb devices", cmd window showed my phone in list of devices attached. I then proceeded to "adb push zImage /sdard/zImage... that seemed to work also [cmd window came back with "2544 KB/s (6718048 bytes in 2.578s)]. Next, I typed "adb shell dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" [cmd window came back with "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5: cannot open for write: Permission denied"]
so is still a drivers issue? cable issue? or something else? Thx again
EDIT: one additional clue for all the experts: the zImage is now on my /sdcard. When I type "adb shell", I do get "$" instead of "#" in cmd window... and I know I have root on phone. When I type "adb shell su" in cmd window, I get "Permission denied".
Sometimes the root install won't completely work until you go to the Superuser app once manually. (e.g. in Applications).
Also, another possibility may be that there are two ways to run adb shell:
One is
Code:
adb shell <command>
Where it'll run <command> and then exit
Then there is
Code:
adb shell
<command1>
<command2>
exit
In the second, when you first type "adb shell" you'll get a shell prompt on your phone.
Then you'll type su (this will give you superuser privileges)
Then you run the dd command
Then you should be good.
The difference is: If you have a custom "insecure" kernel, an ADB shell defaults to root privileges. If you have a stock kernel, ADB shell defaults to "mortal user", and you need to manually use su to get root privileges.
Pushing the file to the SD card does not require root, writing the kernel to the kernel partition (mmcblk0p5) does.

===============
Entropy512... you da man! I'm good to go now. As you recommended, even though I've been using Root Explorer and I know I was 'rooted', had to open SuperUser app on phone... then in the cmd window when I typed "adb shell" I got the "$" prompt. So at the $ prompt I typed "su"... this gave me the "#" prompt. SuperUser App then asked for SU permission acceptance. Then did the "dd xxxxxxxx" command, and it came back with:
13121 +1 records in
13121 +1 records out
6718048 bytes transferred in 2.895 secs (2320569 bytes/sec).
Rebooted phone to recovery, and have the light blue CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3.
Now I'm rooted, have CWM, and no triangle/counter of death. Hope this helps anyone else with a similar situation.
Again, a BIG shoutout to Entropy512, SNadler, jivy26, et al., for your constructive and quick replies. This forum is the best!

One last [Q] Do I have to leave the large "zImage" file (6.41mb) in the /sdcard folder, or can it be removed /moved now that CWM successfully flashed?

No need to leave it, although I keep a bunch of various kernels in /sdcard/kernels myself - it's up to you.
Ive pushed all kinds of other stuff, I did do the add system enviromental variable to XP so this could be my issue, though like i said its worked for other things ...

May be a connection between your computer and phone issue. I have this error when I wanted to root my nexus s. Try different driver for your flyer.

Make sure the adb works via "adb devices" and "adb shell". If it does not work you can try "adb kill-server" first.
I don't think you can write (push) to "/" without "adb remount". Not sure if it is a good idea to write to root directory.
Alternatively, you can use the storage in /data/local/tmp, it is always writable.
I've been hacking about with this tablet and all is going well and I've learned a lot about the Android OS so far, but I've reached a point where I need some assistance.
I rebooted the device and this time, it simply did not come up. It is at the boot logo and won't go any further. I can still use ADB to enter the shell of the tablet, and I got a logcat.
pastebin com 5LjMD00U
Sorry for the broken URL... new user.
This is the logcat I have of it.
If any one has any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
#################EDIT#################
Apparently the build.prop file in /system had the wrong permissions set.
If you get this error, it's likely because you changed it at some point.
Make sure you can see the device through adb,
then type 'adb remount' to make /system rw
Then type 'adb shell' , and type 'chmod 664 /system/build.prop'
exit adb, and type 'adb reboot'.
That should be it.
