Tell me how to "adb push" a file to /cache on stock rooted ROM with stock kernel. "adb shell su ..." works, but can't get "adb push" with root access. In case you wonder here is how /cache is mounted:

Code: 
/dev/block/mtdblock1 /cache yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime 0 0

I don't know how but just Wondering what you want to push to cache?
 
I'm pushing the "tools" and extendedcommand file which tells recovery what to do. However stock Android comes with system property "ro.secure=1" in kernel and pushing to /cache and /data even if rooted does not work.
Also QtADB uses "adb push" to copy files from PC to these partitions. So it is a major issue. And there is no workaround for this, except install new kernel or reboot to custom recovery and work from it.
 
nijel. Your going to have to share half your thanks you get from the M members as I was the one that pointed out your QtADB to sammyz. Well, at least 25%. I won't go lower than 10% of their thanks. OK, you can have all of them seeing's how it was your hard work.
 
sadly, it doesn't seem to work with transformer prime ICS.
works beautifully with samsung exhibit II.
am i doing something wrong, or is it not compatible with my tablet yet?

sorry for the noob question but ive been reading for sometime now and cant pull or push sys apk from phone to computer or from computer to phone using command line ADB please a step by step idk what commands to start with getting su priv and how to pull sys apk i have tried to follow some other tuts but none seem to work.i really love your ver of QtADB but i really need to learn how to use the command line tool tool thanks
 
I get an error when I start this up. "there is no adb binary here!". It wants a path to something, but I've no idea what it wants or where I would locate it.

The Android SDK is installed on my PC and works with my phone.

Help pretty please?
 
nice tool .. !

through th console as SU I can ls -l those files, but not in the filemanger view ... any ideas very welcome ;)
 
For those new to Linux, as I am, here is a quick tip to get QtADB working. (I did this on Ubuntu 12.04, but it should work on most all Linux distros) After installing the Java-6-openjdk and setting up the Android SDK , I extracted the QtADB zip file then moved it to the home folder. I then right clicked the QtADB .exe and selected properties. Then I selected permissions and checked the Exacute box. Clicked out, then double clicked (left click) the .exe. It asked me to show the path to adb and aapt. I selected the SDK folder, then selected with one left click the Platform-tools folder and dropped down and selected "open" that was at the bottom of the pop up box.

That's all there is to it.
