Dannysc213,

Sounds like when you invoke "adb shell" the second time, you are already in the adb shell. I.e., when you invoke "adb shell" you are basically creating a command prompt to the Android Linux on your phone. So, if you have the "#" prompt and want to return to type other commands prefixed with "adb", you'll need to exit out of the shell that you created. For example:

Code:

first, here's what I think you are doing:
 
[B]C:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools>[COLOR=blue]adb shell[/COLOR][/B]
# [COLOR=red][B]adb shell[/B][/COLOR]
adb shell
adb: not found
# [COLOR=blue][B]exit[/B][/COLOR]
exit
 
here's what I think you want to do:
 
[B]C:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools>[/B][COLOR=blue][B]adb shell[/B][/COLOR]
# [B][COLOR=blue]pwd[/COLOR][/B]
pwd
/
# [B][COLOR=blue]ls[/COLOR][/B]
ls
sqlite_stmt_journals
config
cache
:
:
:
data
root
dev
# [B][COLOR=blue]exit[/COLOR][/B]
exit
 
[B]C:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools>[/B]

Does this look like what is going on?

Yea that's it so you just exit afterwards. I don't know enough about it to push or mount anything but I still don't understand why the fonts won't work. Thanks alien.

Dannysc213, I think I understand now from what andrizoid is saying...you said you were rooted, but maybe you've only completed the first part of rooting (i.e., "regular" root where you flashed the base root ROM?) and now you are trying to do the next steps, i.e., typing the adb commands to install Amon_RA's recovery image? Or did you use some other root method (Eris Master Application perhaps?).

Anyway, let us know and someone will walk you through it.

Its not even that. You can sill use the commands. You just have to run them from the sdk/tools directory, not the adb shell.

Fellas thanks, I don't know enough yet to run adb commands, I'm still learning bit I did want to Change the font and it tells me its not recognized as an internal or external etc.
