Any ideas?

BTW I have root on my Samsung Captivate if that matters.

Thanks! Worked like a charm!

**macshield** · 08-05-2010, 05:23 PM

I Got a captivate and when I run the script I get a device not found? What am I doing wrong? I can see the drive on my desktop.

thanks

**macshield** · 08-05-2010, 05:25 PM

By the way not rooted if that matters

**fireshot91** · 08-09-2010, 04:27 PM

I...can't get it to work? I downloaded the Swm-install.sh file, and ran it (Just..double click I'm assuming, since I can't right click -> Open with Terminal) Terminal is greyed out.

echo "Would you like to launch Sideload Wonder Machine now?"
echo
echo -n "Enter 'y' or 'n':"
read opt
case $opt in
y) ~/Sideload-Wonder-Machine/menu.sh;;
n) echo "Exiting..."; sleep 2; exit;;
*) echo "Invalid option. Can you not see your keyboard?

";;
esac
echo "Something's gone wrong. Exiting..."
sleep 2
exit

I'm trying to sideload an app on my Captivate. I'm a mac user. Snow Leopard latest. I have swm-mac. I'm also rooted. I run menu in terminal via: sh menu.sh. My phone is connected via USB, mounted and debugging is running. I select '21' for pushing to /system/app. I'm being asked for a password. What password? I'm confused.

Anyone?

**ifederov** · 08-09-2010, 09:33 PM

Okay - past the password piece. Ran the following: sudo sh menu.sh

I get the following when I choose "21" push to system/app ...

Ensure you have copied your app to the 'Place-App-Here' directory & that there is only 1 app in that folder.

Press enter to continue...

YOU MUST HAVE ROOT FOR THIS TO WORK! If you don't know what that is, you don't have it.

Found Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx.apk

Press enter to continue...

Remounting /system to allow pushing of the app...
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
remount failed: No such file or directory

-n Did you get the message 'Remount Succeeded' above? (y or n)

Why is this failing ?

im getting the same thing

**jey49ers** · 08-10-2010, 08:06 PM

"Pushing to phone...
can't find 'data/app' to install
Pushed! You may need to reboot your phone to see the change."

now im getting this error, any ideas?

**fireshot91** · 08-11-2010, 05:46 PM

I can't even run the dang installer file.. It keeps saying I don't have enough privileges. I changed the privileges so every user (Myself included) has read/write.

I even went into Terminal and typed in "sudo /users/k2b471/Downloads/swm-install.command/"
and then typed in my password, but it still doesn't work.

How did you get it to recognize your phone. I can't get the script to find it. The only thing I can think of is that I don't have is the Unknown sources option, is that available on the captivate?

**macshield** · 08-14-2010, 01:16 AM

Ok almost got it. Final step is I'm getting a permissioned denied when copying to /data/app. Any help?

What you have to do is:

1.copy the install script to your home dir
2. Ensure that your current user has read / write access AND that you can execute the file.

I am running Ubuntu and you can easily do that by right click the file in nautilus -> properties -> permission

If all that is done then go to the terminal

Go an ls in you home dir and verify the file is there and has the following permissions:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 1127 DATE&TIME swm-install.sh

Then run in terminal the following command:

./swm-install.sh

Hope that helps.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S (UK Version)
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Other: USB debugging enabled, both drives mounted, settings/applications/unknown sources activated and I can see the phone in the browser and lsusb

Bus 001 Device 005: ID xxxx:xxxx Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

I've got the script to run fine, my issue is that it does not recognize the phone.

"List of devices attached

If you see your device above, you are ready to start!"

As one can see no phone is listed.

Any idea on how to fix this ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

**GitsLM** · 08-14-2010, 04:07 AM

Ok, answered my own question. After some digging I found out that the adb executable in the script is a bit dated and therefore does not have all vendor ids included. So I went here:

and downloaded the whole android sdk for linux, copied the new adb executable into the Sideload-Wonder-Machine.

Starting the script again and now it recognizes my Samsung Galaxy

Very nice tool.

Thanks a lot.

**ScubaNitrox** · 08-15-2010, 10:33 PM

When I tried to open it, it opens in emacs. How can I run this in terminal? Still new to Linux.

**charles#ac** · 08-19-2010, 08:23 PM

Ok, I finally got the newest ADB and my Streak is recognized. I put the apk in the folder, the tool recognizes it and begins to transfer. Then I get a failure:

---------------
948 k/bs (2148457 bytes in 2.211 s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/LauncherPro-0.7.6.0.apk
FAILURE [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
Pushed! You may need to reboot your phone to see the changes.
---------------

Ideas?

Pushing to phone...

Pushed! You may need to reboot your phone to see the change.

**Shooperman** · 09-28-2010, 06:17 PM

I got the sideloader up and running, but I can only run it directly from the "Sideload Wonder Machine" folder. When I create a launcher for it, it can not find any of the scripts...
