Hello guys,
I been trying in the little time I have to get rid of Fota file by using ADB but have not successfully been able to delete those files. I am not quite sure what is the process to do it but this is what I have been trying.
Open CMD
1- go to platform-tools folder on CMD
2- Type adb push c:\directory\fota_delta_dp1\ \data\fota\
3- repeat for second fota file.
It says that failed to copy c:\directory\file\ \data\fota\ since is read-only
How do I make it "writable" or what am I doing wrong,
I wanted to mention as well that my phone is rooted.
Find Root Explorer. Install it.
Change the file system to R/W.
Then, navigate to \data\fota and delete the files.

However you want to get root shell and do:
# cat /dev/null > /data/fota/fota_delta_dp1
# cat /dev/null > /data/fota/fota_delta_dp2
Well thank you for your advises. I ended up using "Super Manager" checked in setting "Use root function" went to the folder were i had the files alreadt unzipped and copy them over to /data/fota which replacea both of the fota files. Rebooted the phone and had 280mb of available storage.
When i get home i'll make a tutorial using Super Manager.

1.Put the app in the root of your internal sd.
2.Open root explorer and scroll to sdcard and click to open.
3.Scroll to the app and long press,which gives you the options and click copy or move.
4.Click your back button,which will take you back to "Mounted as r/w.
5.Scroll to and click on system and click app and then paste.
6.Press and hold the installed app and change permission to rw-r-r
Hit home and your done.

It's just a guess, but maybe you need to root your phone? Don't know if it's already rooted but...
Yes! Its perfectly rooted with SuperOneClick! I too use TBackup!

Did you tried the "RW" option on the rootexplorer? Or just delete first the file, and not try to overwrite them...
You can do this over adb too...
GL!
The R/W Option is Enabled! =(
UP! UP! UP!
First make sure u are rooted and then
try remounting the system by typing in terminal:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system
NOTE: When u open Root Explorer a text should appear "Root Explorer has been granted Superuser permission"... If this doesnt appear check the su app for allowing permission to ROOT EXPLORER or u will need 2 reroot ur phone...
Go to the location where you want to paste a file or perform action.
Now click on Mount RW at the top of the screen. It will change to Mount RO.
Now you can copy files.
PS: Your need a rooted phone

My phone is rooted, and root explorer HAS ROOT ACCESS but clicking on the "Remount as RW" button on the top of the screen does nothing in "/system"
it works on "/sdcard" and anywhere els. But not in "/system"
Any ideas?
Edit: actually in "Superuser" the root access has been allowed but when I start "Root Explorer" there will be no notification of giving the root access ("Root Explorer has been granted Superuser permission")
acutally i got a solution for remounting to rw mode

And how did you do it?
Got the same problem on my rooted Nexus 10 running 4.2.1 JB. Rooted it with SuperSU.zip via CWM and root seems to work fine.
Sadly I cant write anything to the system folder.
I tired to use the command "mount -o remiunt,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system" mentioned earlier in this thread but even with the use of "su" and granting SuperSU rights it wont allow me to create directories there. The mount command seems to work fine as there are no error messages but mkdir throws an error:
"mkdir: can't create directory 'test': Read-only file system"
Oh and there are no toast notifications about granting root access to the shell except the first time I typed su.
Anybody else having that problem on the Nexus 10?

i got a solution for this issue :
just install es explorer and turn on the root explorer mode then grant the permissions then again click on the tab root explorer and then a popup window will appear where you can allow permissions for each folder differently.
click thanks button if it worked for you.
Gang, I've searched and couldn't find. I rooted the Sprint Nexus S 4G and installed CW recovery.
Would some one please be kind enough to point me on how to unroot and return to stock recovery for a return.
Thank you!
Why do you want to return it?

Exchanging for another, I appear to have a defective screen which flickers when phone is shaken.
Yeah this would be good to know, as when you unlock it there is now a big unlocked icon when booting. I could see a sprint rep throwing the phone in my face saying they can't support it.

Use a file manager like Root Explorer or SuperManager (any file manager that can run with root access)
Delete /system/app/Superuser.apk
Delete /system/xbin/su
Delete /system/bin/su
Reboot the phone into the bootloader.
Plug the phone into USB.
Type "fastboot oem lock"
Good to go.
What about the custom CWM recovery?

Oh, my bad. Before deleting root, go to /system/etc and find whatever you renamed the install-recovery.sh file to, and rename it back to install-recovery.sh. Then follow my instructions to delete root, and once you reboot back into the ROM, it will erase ClockworkMod and install the stock recovery. That said, here is a set of updated instructions:
Use a file manager like Root Explorer or SuperManager (any file manager that can run with root access)
Go into /system/etc and find the install-recovery.sh file that you renamed originally, and rename it back to install-recovery.sh. (This will ensure that the stock recovery will be restored on first boot)
If you installed busybox, you'll have to delete it along with all the symlinks that it created.
Delete /system/app/Superuser.apk
Delete /system/xbin/su
Delete /system/bin/su
Reboot the phone into the bootloader.

Did Titanium Backup install busybox into /system/xbin? If so, (I assume you have a nandroid backup just in case), I would delete absolutely everything in that folder except dexdump. If it installed busybox somewhere other than /system/xbin, then we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

I don't believe it to be installed in /system/xbin/ as the only two items showing there are:
dexdump
su

Yeah there will be a bunch. Do you have a terminal emulator installed? If so, go into the terminal emulator:
Type "su" (without quotes)
Type "busybox which busybox" (without quotes)
Tell me what it says.

Oh no wonder! You're all set then. BusyBox is located within Titanium Backup's data folder. You don't need to worry. BusyBox will go away when you uninstall Titanium. So just follow my updated instructions and you're good. Let me know if you have any problems. Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your ROM before you delete root, just in case! You can never be too careful!

Hmmm....try just /etc. Is it in there? Every stock Android build since 2.3.1/GRH78 has had that file in there. It checks the MD5 hash of the current recovery and if it doesn't match up, it flashes the stock one over it. That's really strange.

Nope .... no such file. I even did a search for it with root explorer and it does not come up. If worse come to worse ill pull it from someone's Tom just so I have it on my phone. But I know I did not delete it.

That is very strange indeed. I wonder if Google didn't install it on the Nexus S 4G. Can any other NS4G owners verify if /etc/install-recovery.sh exists on your phone?
I'm trying to replace the Effect_Tick.ogg file in the system/media/audio/ui directory but I'm not entirely sure how. Is it impossible to do through the tablet itself (using the file file manager or root explorer)? When I try I'm getting a permission warning, but I thought the entire point of rooting was to get root access.

In root manager, and on the top right, and press mount r/w then replace it.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I find the easiest way to replace files on the /system partition is with adb.
Just type -
adb remount
adb push Effect_Tick.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/Effect_Tick.ogg
This is assuming that you are starting from the folder where your replacement Effect_Tick.ogg is located and that it is named the same think.

True enough. But if I'm crafty enough to make my own .ogg files, I'm probably not doing it on a tablet.
