No, only Link2SD mount script.

No, only Link2SD mount script.

Bummer I was excited too. Perhaps in a future update?

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:

/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?

 

[nijel]

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.

Tested with optimus M, it works

 

[nijel]

Thanks for the feedback.

 

[brotherswing]

Good to know!

 

[sammyz]

Thanks for the feedback.

To me it looks like it could work with any phone as long as drivers are installed and you have adb set up

I was using windows 7 64-bit btw

 

[nijel]

It is made for every rooted phone with proper kernel(ro.secure=0 or ro.debuggable=1).

Just linked this thread to the M all things root.....many of us have been looking for a program like this

 

[nijel]

Thanks.

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.

Good enough?

works beautifully with samsung exhibit II.

[AndyOpie150]

Do you have a ClockWorkMod recovery installed?

[CuriousNoob]

First I heard of this.... Willing to give it a go.

 

[Petrah]

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?

 

[nijel]

Point it to the folder where adb.exe is located.

 

[Petrah]

Thank you, nijel!! Worked perfect.

 

[5ggggg]

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.
