I can't get Root Explorer to mount as R/W. It will only stay on R/O when trying to paste files on to system folder. Any help is appreciated. Btw, used the One-Click-Root program on the Inspire if that helps...
Try super manger or es file explorer

Mount system rw in Terminal Emulator:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system/customize
It should let you make changes.

Still not working...it says "Permission denied"
I had that problem, wouldn't do anything when I clicked the r/w tab, turned out I just needed to update. Make sure there isn't an update available.
i didnt even have a tab on mine to switch it lets me write or delete anything.
You got to have the spaces in there

Hi forum.
A quick question...
How do i re-install the defailt launcher ??
I have tried this way:
@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
@adb push content/Launcher.apk /sdcard/Launcher.apk
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Launcher.apk of=/system/app/Launcher.apk
And even thoug the launcher is on the sd card after (as i not clean after install), and also it all looked like it was installed ok, it don´t work.
When i try to install it from my sdcard with astro, i get a error saying:
"Start could not be installed on this phone"
Pleace, do you know why ??

What did it say, it should say if it was pushed or failed?

Because some system apks have to be pushed and wont install in the usual fashion.
hi
you must set the permissions, sytem apps need it
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 644 /system/app/Launcher.apk
reboot
or you navigate with rootexplorer to system, mount it rw, navigate to sytem/app/Launcher.apk set the permissions to 644 (User-rw,Group-r,Others-r)
then reboot
sry for bad english, hope it worked

Hi there...
I can´t figure this out...
I can see with "OI file explorer" that have the Launcher.apk inside /system/app.
It looks like it all goes well with mount and chmod above, but i can´t use the launcher?
And inside Titanium Backup it looks like the launcher "start" is not even installed on the phone...
What am i missing here ??

It makes me think that you have also removed Launcher.odex from /system/app . Do you have Launcher.odex in system/app ?
Post a screen shot of the cmd window, it should hint at what your doing, or not doing correctly.

Hmm have you set the permission, have you install homeswitcher, with this you can switch the launcher you have installed and set as default.

I have a few general questions for using adb, and also a related problem (which got me asking those questions).
Any help would be great.
1. when remounting which is the actual directory and which is the virtual one?
mount -o rw,remount dirA dirB
2. Is it possible to mount/remount several paths to the same virtual path? If so what happens when there are conflicts (directories or files with the same name)?
3. Is 'push' any different from just copying a file to the phone via USB?
Other than those questions I have a more specific one:
I'm trying to push a file into /system/app/ and /system/lib/ but I get a message that the directory is read-only.
I ran 'adb root' and then entered the shell, remounted this way:
'mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system'
It seemed to work (I just got the command echoed back to me with no error messages).
But still I got read-only when trying to push.
The remount does not appear anywhere when I check mounts. Also mtdblock3 does not even appear in /dev/block/.
I can see that there is an rw mount for '/dev/block/stl9 /system' in the mounts - could it be that for SGS stl9 is the block to use instead of mtdblock3?
If so then why can't I push the file (since it's already mounted as rw).
Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to adb.
I'm using SGS GT-I9000 running 2.2.1 based rom with lag-fix (system is ext4)

Adb push can push to more than just the sdcard.
It can also push to internal memory

OK, weird one...
I'm S-OFF, running my own ROM and all going nicely. Thought I'd push a new hosts file to the ROM to make it ad-free and I get an error saying it's read-only. Surely with S-OFF this isn't the case?
I DID flash the ENG S-OFF HBOOT (more to get rid of the pink banner on the Revolutionary one) - could this be part of the issue?
I was using 'adb push' to push the hosts file, btw
Run the batch file in easyfr3vo once. This should make the data and system rw and chmod 777. Permanently since you have prenatal root

Also, did you patch the Rom with the superuser patch through recovery

I made my own ROM using dsixda's kitchen so SU is already in it. It all works fine except being RW when booted

Yesterday I tried the LCD density change and it broke my Sense launcher. I had the same problem trying to push a modified build.prop to /system/. I ended up pushing the file to the SD card and then:
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/
You could do the same thing with the hosts file.
I had this problem too after reverting to a fresh stock, s-on install. I ran Revo again to obtain a clean s-off, installed recovery, obtained root/SU with SD patch. After I did all that /system/ was ro,
using # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(double check your system block by doing adb shell, su, mount)
then i chmod 777 /system/ and was able to change to rw, and push files.
Delete post please.
I am trying to use my own bootanimation.zip to replace the original bootanimation.zip in /data/cust/media, but the directory is read-only, and root explorer won't mount it as r/w when I press the button at the top. Are there any commands I can use in terminal emulator or any other ways to get this done?
I suggest asking this in your device forum, but it most likely should be in /data/local or /system/media.

In terminal emulator type:
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
If that doesn't work, try searching "mount system rw" in the play store. There should be a useful app in there.
clear the cache of root explorer.. if it won't work themw try using any other version of root explorer..
I'm sure this has been addressed but a search wouldn't located it. I had this woman bring a phone in and ask me to get this spy app to work on her son's phone, it has to be written on the /system. She paid someone on Craigslist to root it. I'm able to get the # in terminal emulator, and s-off is there but I'm still unable to write to /system. Even once mounting it through Clock workMod. The phone is running cm7 by the way. Any ideas on how to make the /system writable.
