Need a little help with ADB

[Guest feckineejit]

Hello i've got a little problem with adb, i did a little reading and watched videos on you tube. i've installed everything i just can't seem to push files to the phone, i have an apk file in the AndroidSDK\tools folder that i been trying to move, i get the first part sorted in pic 1 but when i hit enter the other 2 pics show what comes up. this is what i've done

cmd cmd cmd

any ideas what i'm doing wrong? i've tried this with the phone on and with it turned of.

Can't see your images...

Have you used adb remount before pushing?

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

need some precisions ;)

which version of windows or linux ?

if you mount your sd card in the phone; is the system see the storage device ?

and there is no picture link in your post

'push' needs a special in around it like this:

_push_

where _ change it to space

examples:

adb SPACE push SPACE location/of/file/you/need/to/push SPACE location/on/your/phone/where/you/want/your/file/to/be/pushed

adb push circlelauncher.1.3.apk /system/app

correct commands are

adb remount

adb push filename.apk /system/app

with linux

sudo ./adb remount

sudo ./adb push filename.apk /system/app

Thanks very much for all your help

so instead of this:

adb push./circlelauncher.1.3.apk/system/app

it should have been this

adb push circlelauncher.1.3.apk /system/app

working now ;)

P.S would i be right in saying if i wanted to remove that file again i should type:

adb pull system /app/circlelauncher.1.3.apk

No that only copies it....

You need

adb shell rm /system/app/circlelauncher.1.3.apk

Depending on which version of ADB you have, you might get away with using *circ* instead of the whole file name.

dont use *circ* unless you are sure you have no other files that contain the letters circ in their filename. using *circ* will delete all the files that contain the letters.

the * work like wildcards. you could have xcircle, circular, 49853495circ8234892348 or whatever and they would be deleted.

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

use a root file manager in the phone if you just want to delete a file

astro manager

root explorer

and so on
