Android 4.3 ADB push/pull

Question

Today i bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which came with Android 4.3. Since it's so new, i couldn't find a way to root my device, so instead i tried with the adb connection ... i failed.

So, i used this

D:\android\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219\sdk\platform-tools>adb push g:\save15.dat /data/data/com.creativemobile/dragracing/files/

but i got this

failed to copy 'g:\save15.dat' to '/data/data/com.creativemobile/dragracing/files/': No such file or directory

so, is there a way to copy my file to my device?

Answer 1

It should be

adb push g:\\save15.dat /data/data/com.creativemobile.dragracing/files/

If you're allowed to push files/data there it will work.

Answer 2

you can use the adb restore command for android 4.xx but you need to have an adb backup before. but i think adb shell backup command does not work for android 2.xx

maybe this will work for you http://dragracingforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=262&t=13477 if not then you can ask the the post author i think he knows how to.

Answer 3

There's a bug in 4.3 that prevents this from working on a real, non-rooted device. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58373

Answer 4

Yes, the following works on my limited edition nuclearsx-sp5 type these commands

adb reboot
adb remount
adb root

This is tested to work only on "improperly" (YES! I mean it) rooted devices which are known to have production builds. But it works on my samsung galaxy wonder (non-rooted)flawlessly.

Good luck!
