Hello,
I got my Ramos W7 two days ago and i'm frustrated...
i want to change the font to Hebrew font (i have them) but from some reason i can't...
i've flashed a rooted version which i found on some Chinese site and i have root access, and i've installed android sdk on my computer and installed the device drivers.
now i'm going into dos, and running those lines:
Code:
cd c:/AndroidSDK/tools/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
and when i'm running this line:
cat /sdcard/DroidSans-Bold.ttf > /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
i get this error:
can't create /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf: read-only file system

PLEASE HELP ME! I'M VERY FRASTRATED
anyone, please?

Hey guys,
Sadly, I've got Vista64, which works fairly well, FYI.
Anyways, because of it I can't install the USB drivers.. But I figure I'm just using them to access the terminal, which I, on RC29, apparently already have access to...
If I copy recovery.img to the SDcard and then use the filemanager to put it in /system, would I be able to flash it from the homescreen? What commands would I use?
Just
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system
cd /system
# cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
# flash_image recovery recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
#
?? Is this going to do something bad...
Thanks
**I don't have write permission to /System using Android File Manager. I'm sorry I'm a linux newb here, what cmds do I need to use to overwrite that file?

I have the same problem: I am using Windows Server 2008 x64 and there is no 64 bit driver for ADB. I ended up installing a Ubuntu VM:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/10/developing-and-debugging-android.html
Well, I tired txting this to someone...
cp /sdcard/recovery.img /system
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system
cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
Then booted into recovery mode and pressed alt-L...
And it doesn't work.
I guess it's VMWare time... zzz
Check out my post over at AndroidCommunity http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/i-have-rc30-and-root-6867/ this will allow you to install the modified upgrade without the adb, and sdk.
i have fount how to make the android support more languages (basic support), and it's works great over the Emulator.
i took the font files over "system/fonts" and added the chars i needed.
and now i have the G1 Modified RC30 and i want to take those files and replace them.
but i can't get access to do it.
anyone can guide me how i can replace the files??
solved
Code:
> adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
just need to do this before copying the files
and this when done
Code:
> adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
hi
how did you manage to change the fonts in the Emulator?
\tools\lib\fonts\default
i tried this one, but it has no use, i suspect that system.img has the system fonts, any help how to access that?
thanks
Hi guys,
If any one getting error while remounting system partition in rw mode using adb, please follow these steps :
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory
SOLUTION:
Connect to your device usb adb: [FOR ROOTED DEVICES ONLY]
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb shell
$su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl12 /system
(do your desired work like copy some files on system/media folder , then remount the system partition in ro mode again)
# cd /
#mount -o remount,ro /dev/stl12 /system
#exit
$exit
Thats all
FYI if you want to know the dev partitions mounted on your device :
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb shell
$ su
# mount
cheers
Did you map the other partitions by any chance? I'd like to be able to make a full backup to eventually be flashed back with Heimdall or ODIN. I already have a system.rfs (stock + root) that could be made in a tar image.
I've see tutorials for other Samsung phones but these need to be adapted to our exact setup. I haven't found anything generic enough to know how to go about mapping things.
It might also help those who flashed GT-S5660 ROMs on the Bell Canada GT-S5660M, as the screen brightness issues sound very much like kernel issues to me...
I can't quite tell what the difference is between stl and bml either. (I'll probably try dd'ing the different blocks, except stl5, and peek around with a hex editor...)
Goodbye,
Darkshado
Hi,all, I just get start with Nexus 5. can anybody tell me what the problem? follow with the command I input in windows shell.
K:\N5\ROOT>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount system /system
mount -o remount system /system
mount: Permission denied
255|[email protected]:/ #
Anyone on this?
Cheers!
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
However this only works if you have a custom "insecure" kernel that allows adb to do root things.

Thanks for the reply!
So, I will write my story here, hopefully to help some other guy in the future!
Basically I was on debug build from AOSP for the N5! And I installed all proprietary files from Google, LG, Qualcomm etc! But camera was faulty! So I decided to flash the stock images from Google! Then I 've lost
Code:
adb root
So I flashed the boot image from the debug build I had previously!
adb root works like charm!
to flash it, I used: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hi! My problem is that I want to mod /system/etc stuff. But problem is: I can't mount /system rw in adb shell!
I'm using CM11 20140622 Nightly
What i've tried:
- sysrw command(alias sysrw='mount -o remount,rw /system')
- by hand(mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system)
None of those commands produce output and they exit 0
- ES File Explorer and CM File Manager
I don't know how, but mounting rw in UI always works, but not over adb.
Can anyone tell me a solution how to mount /system rw successfully over shell?

Windows or Linux? Are you using an outdated adb?
That's definitely correct, I tested it.

remove and reinstall your adb
Works fine with that command on both windows and linux for me.
Does adb devices even work?
Can you screenshot the error?

No error output, i'm in adb shell so "[email protected]:~ #" will appear
I run commands there.
adb itself works fine.

Ah yeah that's as good as a screenshot.
Theres no option in CM11 dev options for adb root is there? I have on in SlimKat where I must enable ADB root.

There is actually and it's set to "Apps and ADB", but I might try out next nightly. It might doesn't have that problem anymore. Prolly some SELinux conflict or kernel blocks something
Now it works.
I think it was CM problem.

At first I was thinking it was your computer but everything you were doing was right so I agree. It seems it was.

For posterity, I'm adding what worked for me on LolliKat (which is cm11) for doing this from the phone's console/shell: I had to use the command `/system/bin/mount` rather than just `mount`. Once that had been done once, the other methods would work fine until reboot. (I was doing this because somehow link2sd had lost its ability to "update mount scripts" and "integrate system app updates".
These all worked for me:
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system
