I'm trying to deodex my atrix with the 4.1.4.2 sbf, but I'm having trouble. I think it's because I don't have superuser permissions of adb, how do I get this?
adb shell
Su
On the phone itll prompt you with a super user permissions.
Run the script now and it should work

Is this done through Terminal Emulator?
Whenever I push, chmod, then reboot, my device reboots but nothing else. Adb DOES recognize my device, I can install/uninstall, remount, etc... So wat?
I'm try'n to get a modded Ziggy script to run on boot (to further undervolt- others have gotten to run)
I've tried manually pasting in unit.d folder, then manually fixing perm.s but after I reboot, the permissions have reverted n nothing has changed.
Yes, I'm a noob, please help.

I've gotten weird problems with adb in Win7 by not running cmd as an admin
Ok, well I'm the admin. (only 1 user acct.) so I should be good

Maybe you're pushing whatever to a system folder not mounted with write access? I know if you try pushing to say /system/etc/hosts and you dont have it mounted in write access and have root permission (on the phone in both cases), it will reset it back to the original on reboot.

Crap, I think ur right. I was fixing perms thru adb w chmod, but AFTER I pushed.
But regardless I don't think I set as R/W.
Also, wat would cause me not to be able to set permissions manually (for individual paths) using root explorer ( or similar file manager)?

Nope, doesn't change a F'n thing. God I wanna swear soooo bad. almost more than I respect this forum.

K, I found that adb thinks I'm mounted as R/O tho I'm mounted as R/W. WHY

Dunno offhand; you're not being very descriptive and it's hard to read what you're saying. Try a different approach, like using sshdroid pro (with putty or xshell) and the command line there instead of adb. I dont really use adb to push/mod things on the phone unless there's no other choice (like rooting your phone). If you're using a custom rom, they generally have a small script built into them to mount the system folder(s) as r/w (type sysrw or sysro).
It was as simple as having slashes backwards, lol, figures.
Adb still thinks I'm in read-only tho. I tried "adb remount" to no avail.
I'm not familiar w/ the other things u mentioned (i can barely read em til I change my font)
R those things I DL? Put in my SDK?
I'LL check em out

To be more descriptive: I'm using virusROM RC1B2 w/ updated Ziggy kernel (bfs).
I have a modified script (from Ziggy) that I recently pushed to system/etc/unit.d that I'm tryn to run.
After I push I type "adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/04vddlevels" (file name).
Then adb says "can't chmod" cuz the file system is "read-only"
I try "adb remount" n then re-entering chmod n it says nothing n nothing happens.
I am mounted as R/W so I'm confused.
Hope that explains it btr, Thnx 4 the help!
Edit; I also have a "tweak" zip file I flashed from adrynalyne to enable script to run on boot encased the Rom isn't set up to, tho others (one that I know of) has had no problems. He hasn't been able to help either.

then you log into it with either
http://www.netsarang.com/products/xsh_detail.html
or
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
or if you're using linux or osx, you can do it natively on the terminal line with the ssh command.
You can transfer files over sftp (with ssh) using something like filezilla http://filezilla-project.org/

There's plenty of pages out there on ssh if you search google though. Just read up. It's the primary way to communicate (securely) remotely with a linux/unix server. It encrypts your traffic to and from a server (in this case, your phone). It also means no cables (though you can do that with wireless adb also).
Basically, it's a way of remotely using the terminal built into android (since it's linux) without having to use adb.
try this (all one line):
(for write perms)
adb shell mount -o remount,rw,noatime,nodiratime -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
(to set back to read only)
adb shell mount -o remount,ro,noatime,nodiratime -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
if that doesn't work, then you're not root, so you will have to type:
adb shell su -
to get root before doing the other commands
Cool Thnx, yeah I have seen that b4, I'm tryn it(adb thing 1st) now.

Ok, I typed: adb shell mount.... N got "Device or resource busy" ?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Next I tried: (all one line) "adb shell su -adb shell mount... n got permission denied. ??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
if you do it all as one line you have to put a ; in between the statements so it terminates the last command before doing another
Ok, wat does "device or resource busy" mean?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q="device+or+resource+busy"+android
Do I type: "adb shell su-" (then hit enter) ? Cuz I get "su- not found"
There's not supposed to be a space between 'su' and '-' , correct, cuz then I get a '#' sign n adb freezes.
Wow I'm a mess, lol, Thnx 4 help, maybe I should do some studying n come bak more prepared!
Yeah. I here ya. Thnx. Again

I've got a backup archive in my PC and I can't access to my android, And my recovery mode (Android System Recovery 3e)only can restore with archives that be on internal SD
How can I put an archive of my PC to my internal SDcard using ADB commands?
I need do it with ADB because I haven't got CWM
Sent from my TOUCH97 using xda app-developers app
ad push <archive location> <internal sd>
Replace what's in <> with the proper path
An example for pushing an apk to my nexus 4 maybe something like
adb push adfree.apk /storage/sdcard0/
But I tend to first open terminal/cmd in the location of the file I want to push so I don't have to enter all the C:\users\demkantor\desktop.... And so on

Can you tell me basic commands, to know where I am, to see the folders of my location....
Sent from my TOUCH97 using xda app-developers app
You can try a few things like
mount
Or
adb shell
cal/proc/partitions
Or
ls -l /dev/block
Or
busybox df -hm
There are plenty of guides all over xda and the web on how to use adb, look one up and if you can't figure it out let me know and I'll try and help further

Hi im using the lgp-769 v10g T-Mobile and i was rooted on this phone but i lost root and now in system xbin i have a file named su.old, i explored this using file browser, i found that i can access this file using terminal emulator which changes the $ sign to #. I accessed it via /system/xbin/su.old... anyways I'm wondering if there is anyway i can use this and terminal emulator to regain root? I also have busybox and kbox2 working in terminal without root if that even matters... can someone kindly point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated. Thank you all.

When your have root (#) try this
Code:
cp /system/xbin/su.old /system/bin/su
chmod 644 /system/bin/su
or try
Code:
mv su.old su
Here is screenshot of the results of your suggestions. What should i do now?
