Push .apk to /system/app/ in HTC HERO
android
Solution
Firstly, running `push` from the device doesn't work as it's not a built-in command. Ideally you would use the copy command `cp`, but I don't think it's included by default (I've added it to my device via busybox).
Anyway, your problem is that the `/system` partition is mounted as read-only when the device boots.
But if you have root access to the device, you can remount the partition as read-write:
host$ adb shell
hero$ su
hero# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
hero# cat /sdcard/myApp.adk > /system/app/myApp.adk
hero# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Alternatively, after doing the remount, you can use `adb push` from the host as normal.
Problem
I have an HTC HERO and I need to push my application.apk to the /system/app/ folder. I've followed some tuts on rooting the device and that is fine, but when I try to push my package to the system/app folder, I get: "permission denied": ``` $ push /sdcard/myApp.apk /system/app/ push: permission denied ``` I also try: ``` $ su su # push /sdcard/myApp.apk /system/app/ push: not found ``` Is this possible in a device that is not a developer intended device? Thank you all!
