Help Help with use of adb on mac desktop

i beleive we have success!!!!

# mount -o rw,relatime,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
#


now how should i enter the command to push recovery from this directory?
/android/platform-tools/recovery.img
 
:)

So you know - none of this was caused by your mac - it had something to do with missing the remount command within the phone - I suspect a missing Busybox, but I've been tinkering with mine so long I won't guarantee that.

In any case - note the method, bookmark this page. It's that last digit (in mtdblock5) that may someday change on you.

You can confirm it worked, btw, by re-doing just the naked "mount" command - your list will now show rw where it showed ro before.

Now, from the # - you can just say exit and then do adb push or whatever else you'd like.

MAKE A FULL BACKUP BEFORE TINKERING WITH YOUR SYSTEM AREA!!!
 
will do!

so from

# mount -o rw,relatime,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
#

i would use
#adb push /android/platform-tools/recovery.img
???
 
OK - four things:

First, most important - at the # prompt, you're inside adb/shell, so no commands there will begin with adb.

Second, "adb push" is a command you issue from the mac side - kinda the same as when you issued "adb shell"

Third - the raw answer to your question would be:

# exit

(now you're back to your mac, but your /system is still rw, srsly, you can trust that)

Then do:

(machinename) platform-tools (yourname) $ adb push recovery.img

Fourth - don't do that based on my say-so!!!!!!

Recovery installation processes can vary by phone model - only follow the directions for your phone model, or this is the point where you can screw up your phone!!!

Your best bets are (in this order) - to get the right advice from this user community or to post a link here to the instructions you're following for me to review.

But - advice from another Optimus M rooter is 100x best bet over me at this point - I'm expert in rooting, but not rooting your model - if that makes any sense? :)

recovery.img installation varies by phone model - experience trumps expert opinion every time!!!
 
reviving the old thread, the problem in sookieball case was solved at mount. but my problem still isnt saved.
