Rooted X questions

You're most likely not going to find it anywhere, as everyone just had to "check for updates" on their phone; there was probably no "grabbing the update file from the sdcard".

To push apps to your device, just open adb and do the following:

adb push <file>.apk /system/app/<file>.apk

Or you can put all of the downloaded apps in a folder and do the following:
1. cd into the folder where the .apks are.
2.

adb push *.apk /system/app/

I've got your solution right here. This should get all of your apps back, but your going to have to use a PC and install ADB on it first. Go to this page and read the OP's post. At the bottom of his post he says

Did you delete something?
You can download all of the apks from /system/app here:

Next you follow his instructions under "The Free Way" and you should be good to go for copying all of the apps back over to the /system/app folder. Feel free to come back here with questions.:icon_wink:

Thank you! bigd73...im sorry for asking really dumb questions but i just dont want to mess anything up worse than im at now. Are there instructions to do all of this

Droid X System Dump for those who deleted apps without backing up

Cool, i read through everything and im very confused. I know this is asking alot but im wondering if someone can put this into dumb terms that i might be able to understand...im new to this stuff but really want to learn.

Im reading this and it says to take the move the apk files into a specific folder on the phone my plugging it in and going into mass storage mode. I looked and i do not have the folder its asking for...

 

[mkthnx001]

The folder your asking about is not located on the sdcard. You have to use adb as root to access /system/app/.

It came up with Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26 with a whole bunch of stuff below, just not sure what option to chose or where to go from there

 

[mkthnx001]

Do the following:

adb push <file>.apk /system/app/<file>.apk

 

[Twist0fate]

Do the following:

adb push <file>.apk /system/app/<file>.apk

The system cannot find the file specified

 

[mkthnx001]

Replace <file> with the application's name that you're trying to restore.

 

[Twist0fate]

ok and do that for each file as there is over 20 files??

Review the post I made earlier:

To push apps to your device, just open adb and do the following:

adb push <file>.apk /system/app/<file>.apk

Or you can put all of the downloaded apps in a folder and do the following:
1. cd into the folder where the .apks are.
2.

adb push *.apk /system/app/

I just noticed if i press and hold on the home key on the phone i get a menu that has Text messaging , com.motorola.ho, battery manager

 

[mkthnx001]

Try:

adb kill-server

Than, try again.

EDIT:

That just shows your most recent open applications. Just a feature of Android.
