HELP! Need to reinstall amazon mp3 to /system

[Phateless]

Removed amazon mp3 but accidentally deleted my backup. Now my update to 2.2 failed because that app isn't there.

What to do?

 

[Phateless]

BUMP - need help.

Can anyone give me some adb instructions on how to do this?

I appreciate the link but I already have the app. What I need is help with adb to install it to /system/app so I can receive my ota update.

The adb commands are

adb remount
adb push "whatever the amazon.apk name is" /system/app
adb reboot

Make sure the apk is in your tools folder

Or you can just save it to your sd card and move it to system/app using File explorer

Tried using Linda File Manager and got denied.

As for the other commands, can I do this through terminal emulator or do I need adb? What exactly does remount do anyway? And will push MOVE the file or copy it?

Thanks for your help!

Yea, you can do it thru terminal emulator

commands are ...

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
mv amazon.apk amazon.bak
cat /sdcard/amazon.apk > /system/app/amazon.apk
sync
mount -o remount,r -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb remount is just a quicker way to get read/write access, instead of doing the "mount -o remount" mumbo jumbo

Also you need root explorer or any other file explorer that has su permission.

If you did it through titantium backup it might work! I thought about SAPPIMGing my phone just so I could get that backup, lol.

Cool, let us know if it works.

WOW... a whole week of searching the forums and dicking around with adb. *sigh*

Thank you SO much! I don't think the program is actually installed, but I really don't care, as long as the ota update sees that it's there and installs properly, I'm good.
