[Q] Command Promps: Why not explain? help

---

IF THIS POST CAN BE DELETED, PLEASE DO! I ACCIDENTAL POSTED THIS AGAIN BUT IT WAS IN THE STICKY SECTION. PEOPLE ARE OUT RAGED OVER IT BUT I DO APOLOGIZE. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?

DISREGARD THE BELOW. IT'S A DOUBLE.


Hi, I am trying to use Abd to do the stalling fix that Modaco Paul Obrien Provided, however (if im not mistaken) there arent any steps to making adb recognize your phone.

what should we press before doing this?

Enter the following commands in adb on your PC with your device attached (rooted, with USB debugging enabled):

CODE
adb shell
su
cp -rp /data/data /dbdata
mv /data/data /data/data.bak
ln -s /dbdata/data /data/data
reboot


I have showing in command promp before doing anything:
C:\Users\Eric>

Please someone get back to me. if this was posted, I aplogize.. you can delete it (if possibly) after im helped hopefully. I wonder why instructions don't clearly state the steps to avoid questions. There are 1 million threads and hard to search.

Fyi I've installed all the drivers and things for my device. I just need to know the next steps.

this will move your data to the sdcard on an ext2/3 partition... this is what I am using now and it flies... hope this helps

if you dont want to do it that way, you are missing the script to mount as rw... dont know it off the top of my head...

Hey thanks for replying. My sd card has avatar on it. I don't want to partition it and lose it.. I mean I could but the last time I partitioned the sd, my phone was blank. Maybe that's because when I flashed clockworks recovery it sent the backedup Rom to my sd car and not the internal memory?

Dont take this the wrong way, but what you are trying is extremely experimental, and I would not recommend it to you. You will end up frustrated later waiting for more advice, as you dont seem to have any experience w/ ADB. Maybe research ADB a bit, play around w/ it, and then possibly try this again.

I dont mean to discourage you, but this type of mod/hack is somewhat advanced, and may require some troubleshooting to get it working properly. You should also know EXACTLY how to undo what you are attempting to do before you go through with it, which is generally a good idea for these type of mods, as you may undo it soon

Thanks a lot. And u right. I'm about to unroot and wait for 2.2 because these developers know there are new people to this and it wouldnt hurt to go into a little more detail. I used Amonras Recovery method on my nexus and didn't have to go through all this download moad stuff and Odin etc. Its not that easy when people get annoyed by questions lol but thanks a lot though.

Search ADB for dummies on the forum, there are a few threads that will be very helpful. They'll give you a general idea of what you're doing with ADB. Sorry, but we're not here to spoon feed you. If you want to mod the phone, learn how to do it.

this is exactly why people are discouraged and lost because of comments like this. thanks anyhow. im not going to worry about it right now because clearly people are too lazy to help. I just said there's a thousand forums and it's not easy to single out which ones are the right ones. Please get a senior member or someone to delete this thread. No need for it now. I'll wait for 2.2

If you're to lazy to do a simple search and learn how to set up adb and how to in put in simple provided commands then you're a lost cause. Sorry to be so blunt, don't cry to hard about it.
