When attempting to open a database using the adb shell on a rooted Nexus One, you might encounter the error message: sqlite3: not found. This issue arises because the sqlite3 binary is not installed on the device. Below, we provide a step-by-step guide to resolve this issue by uploading the sqlite3 binary to your device.
Solution: Uploading the sqlite3 Binary
Here is an effective method to upload the sqlite3 binary to your rooted Nexus One:
Step 1: Mount the /system Directory as Read/Write
$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
Step 2: Push sqlite3 Binary to the Device
In another terminal, navigate to the directory where the sqlite3 binary is located and push it to the device:
$ ls
sqlite3
$ adb push sqlite3 /sdcard/
Step 3: Copy and Change Permissions of the Binary
Return to the first terminal and execute the following commands to copy the binary to /system/bin and set the appropriate permissions:
# cat /sdcard/sqlite3 > /system/bin/sqlite3
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/sqlite3
Step 4: Mount the /system Directory as Read-Only
# mount -o remount,ro /system
Step 5: Verify Installation
Finally, verify that the sqlite3 binary is accessible:
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.moodme.android/databases/moodme
SQLite version 3.7.4
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> .tables
android_metadata moodme
By following these steps, you should be able to install and use sqlite3 on your rooted Nexus One.
