[How-To] Root LG Optimus T

[Kevin OQuinn]

If anything i tell you is confusing let me know.

 

[KSmithInNY]

it doesnt like spaces. everything I type must be like this."d:/android/tools/adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage" in the post there is a space right afeter "...arm5.bin /..."

Thats your problem. You need the " " ....... without the space you're just continuing the file path and theres no file path in android named "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage"

Now why you cant put a space is an entirely different issue but removing the space is why it's telling you the directory doesn't exist, it doesn't.

 

[Lightos]

its when i put a space that it tells me directory doesnt exist.

 

[KSmithInNY]

Makes no sense at all. not that I'm doubting you, just saying I've spent my share of time in CMD in my days and it should be the opposite. No space means your continuing a file path, in your case a file path that doesnt exist, in which case it would say " directory doesnt exist" ...

space is whats telling it this is the end of the path, after the space is where i need to push said file specified in first part of command line. ::shurgs::

So to break down a command line in people talk it would go like this ....

ADB (this is my tool) push (this is what i should do) path/path/file (this is what I'm looking to push) "space" path/path/file (this is where I'm looking to push too)

 

[KSmithInNY]

I think you should copy your permit post and paste as iamlilysdad said. much easier for us to assist as right now were making assumptions.

 

[Lightos]

ill post as i type it

-d - directs command to the only connected USB devic
e
returns an error if more than one USB device is
present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is r
unning.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator w
ith
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERI
AL
environment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.

If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT

environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number
is specified.
disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.
Port 5555 is used by default if no port number
is specified.
Using this ocmmand with no additional arguments

will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devic
es.

device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(-l means list but don't copy)
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport

adb install [-l] [-r] [-s] <file> - push this package file to the device and i
nstall it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data

adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories
)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.

adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num

DATAOPTS:
(no option) - don't touch the data partition
-w - wipe the data partition
-d - flash the data partition

scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specifie
d device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device re
ad-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the boo
tloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on th

adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns

adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:

- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be u

already figured it out. you aren't getting into adb before you're trying to push files. go into d: and click on android-sdk, then look for the green android. double click to open it. copy the path that appears on the top of the window. then go to command and type cd (the path you just copied)

then it should display something like

d:/android-sdk/wherever it is/tools/

then you can adb push


Did i get all that right ksmith? i'm trying.

Good job. Yep.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

For example when I open a command prompt to do adb stuff the first thing I have to do is point it to the tools path of the sdk. for me it looks like this:

cd c:/android-sdk/android-sdk-windows/tools

then when i press enter that path shows up so that i'm now running commands from that path. that's where adb lives.

You got it! that's where you should be. just remember sometimes it can take more than one try to get the #

and when you get to the last step where right before step 5 you might get a ton of file doesn't exist errors. if you do just continue to follow the directions

 

[Lightos]

In the task manager in the pc i see the adb processing. should i kill it or just leave it after each try?

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

leave it. don't touch anything in task manager.

 

[Lightos]

I have to go to class now. I will try again later tonight. thank you for all the help and patience. I will bother you all later tonight a bit more till i get this.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

to get back to the tools directory when you're in adb shell just type exit

 

[Lightos]

when you open the sdk manager you mean just double click and thats it. leave it alone dont do anything else? i dont download anything with it?

Nope you don't need to download any of the stuff in sdk manager thats for if you would like to build stuff from source or apps.
