I get a timeout when i try to install Android app through Eclipse ADT

Question

Whenever i try to install an Android app on my HTC device via the Eclipse ADT i get:

[2010-07-27 15:33:20 - Touch] Failed to upload Touch.apk on device '' [2010-07-27 15:33:20 - Touch] java.io.IOException: Unable to upload file: timeout [2010-07-27 15:33:20 - Touch] Launch canceled!

I am running on Ubuntu 8.04 in vmware (on a Vista system).

When i type 'adb devices' my HTC shows up perfectly. When i type 'adb pull system ..' the whole content of the system directory on my HTC gets copied to my Ubuntu machine. When i try 'adb push bla' i get 'failed to copy 'bla' to '': Read-only file system'

I have a feeling the problem of the Eclipse (6 sec) timeout is caused because my HTC is read-only.

When i try 'adb remount' i get: remount failed: Operation not permitted

Installing on the emulator works fine.

Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

The timeout is caused because of the read-only status on the HTC you have plugged in. I assume you have tried this before and succeeded?

To make ADB work with windows 7, download HTC Sync from the HTC Website, it has the drivers for the droid eris and ADB Drivers for windows 7. http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/DROID_ERIS_Verizon/HTCSync2.0.25.zip

Not sure if this is any help. Good luck

I am trying to get installing android apps working on an Ubuntu system. (Accidentally I also have a Windows 7 machine on which it works perfectly)
