I'm trying to root my ICS AVD, and have tried this:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
It fails with the following error:
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/xbin/su': Out of memory
How can I fix this?
This blog explains the problem:
To avoid the "Out of memory" error when trying to copy the su-executable to
/system/bin
, you need to start the emulator manually with a large–partion-size
argument:$ emulator -avd MYNAME -partition-size 300
Then:
$ adb remount $ adb push su /system/bin/su $ adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
Note that MYNAME
above is the name of the emulator. Also note that if you are using snapshots, you will need to start the emulator without it due to the change in hardware configuration. Append -no-snapshot-load
to do so.
With this you'll have 512MB of size on /system
ICS is the name I gave to my android emulator:
android-sdk-linux/tools$ emulator -avd ICS -partition-size 512
