Description

I’m trying to Push file (.so library) onto Android Device (Samsung NexusS) "system\lib" folder using Eclipse. But when I press “Push a file onto the device” an error appears:

[2011-06-24 15:41:21] Failed to push
selection: Read-only file system

Researches

To solve this problem I search through internet and find some articles and documentations, but nothing helps me, here are some articles and documentations which I have tried.

• Read-Only File System” when trying to ADB Push an App

  Here users suggest to write adb shell sysrw, but when I an permission denied error appeared:

  sysrw: permission denied

• Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance

  Here on Android Developers Forum I found “You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance’s data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.“

I also try to run adb remount command, but same permission error appeared:

remount: permission denied

Question

How I can push file onto Android Device (NexusS) using eclipse or adb ?

Answer 1

Okay I have done rooting of my device and push files into it.

To root your Android Nexus S device check How to get root and recovery for Nexus S on Windoes 7.
After do this:

$adb shell
#mount -o remount, rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cat (file which you want) > (destination path)

Thats All !
