I am running Android emulator (emulator version 30.5.5.0) and the avd: Pixel_3a_API_30_x86
from AndroidStudio.
Using adb.exe
(Android Debug Bridge) I try to copy a file from the Windows host to the emulated Android /system/...
folder, but I haven't been able to after trying different things like this tutorial:
-writable-system
:cd C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
emulator -avd Pixel_3a_API_30_x86 -writable-system
Then from another command-line window while the emulator is running:
cd C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
adb root
adb shell "mount -o rw,remount /"
'/dev/block/dm-0' is read-only
adb push MyFile.txt /system/etc/security/cacerts
Then I get the error: ERROR:
MyFile.txt: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 0.1 MB/s (950 bytes in 0.011s)
adb: error: failed to copy 'MyFile.txt' to '/system/etc/security/cacerts/MyFile.txt': remote couldn't create file: Read-only file system
How can I copy the file from Windows to Android /system
?
The tutorial in the link was missing some commands and the web page was not updated with the latest version from GitHub.
Here is the final sequence (for API LEVEL > 28):
adb root
adb shell avbctl disable-verification
adb reboot
adb root
adb remount
adb push MyFile.txt /system/etc/security/cacerts
