adb shell is not working.

[Guest sreeramu]

Hi Friends,

I Started my u8220 in recovery mode by holding end key and menu key , after the recovery mode come i connected my device to my PC and in commend prompt i typed

Commend : adb shell

Output : - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

and i tried

Commend : adb push /sdparted.txt /sbin/sdparted

Output: failed to copy '/sdparted.txt' to '/sbin/sdparted': Permission denied

Can i know why i am getting this errors , am i missing any thing....?

Note: I rooted my device(my device have root access).

To access adb you should have the phone powered on, not in recovery mode :huh:

You have to mount the Pulse's filesystem with read/write access first.

I just don't remeber the command right now.

Something like mount -o rw /mcblk1 /system...

What is it you are trying to do? what is sdparted.txt?

/sbin is on the root fs (/), which by default is mounted read-only. What ever you are trying to push, I would recommend putting it on /sdcard which should be rw.

If you really want it in /sbin try

adb shell mount / -o remount,rw

adb push /sdparted.txt /sbin/sdparted

I'm not sure why it failed, that command works fine for me. Maybe windows doesn't pass the command to the shell properly? You could try going into adb shell then run mount with the same arguments and see it you still get an error.

The easiest way to partition the sd card is from the patched recovery image (I'm not sure the normal image even has the fdisk/mkfs commands needed for partitioning/formatting).

Install the recovery image Link

Then you simply boot into recovery mode (hold menu+red button while booting) and choose the menu option for partitioning the sd card.
