Anyone know how to mount /system rw
tried:
$su
permission denied (device is rooted)
mount -rw /system
no go
When you try to do root commands via ADB, a Superuser pop-up will show up on your phone, you have to accept it. Is your USB Debugging on?

all you'd need to do is go into a terminal, then su, mount with rw permissions, then cp file /path/to/destination
and how do I mount with permissions?that's what I was missing,thanks

Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Go to Market and search for SU file manager or check out http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-protocol-su-fbs-jmwq.aspx
It's not free, but it's cheap, and has pretty much replaced all the file explorer/editor/utility-type apps I used to screw around with. For all intents and purposes, you can use it to do just about anything you'd otherwise need adb to do.
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

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.

Thank you very much. It worked.
Is there a quick and dirty way to undo adb remount without a system reboot?
Thanks!

I'm not sure, but maybe try 'adb unmount'?
Not sure at the moment whether another adb remount mounts the /system partition read only again, otherwise
adb shell mount -o remount, ro /system
should work.

Hey everyone!
Recently I've had problems with using the command "adb remount". I thought it was a kernel problem but it happened with both Trinity and
Elementalx kernel. I have installed the universal naked drivers 0.73 for my nexus 5. I think it is a root problem since nothing pops up on my phone
when entering "adb root". I have tried to retype it several times and it doesn't say "adb is already running as root" or something like that like it used
to. It keeps repeating "restarting adbd as root" whenever I type that command. Sorry if I'm not clear :/
Thanks everyone!
I personally prefer to run adb via recovery. Have you tried this?
I have also failed to use remount in android.
The solution is as rootsu suggests.
Boot to recovery and do
Adb shell mount /system
Or
Adb shell mount /data
Which ever partition you want to be changing

I don't think so. It's just easier.
With SlimKat and elementalx*
I have adb and apps set as root in slimkat although I doubt this is a requirement in non-AOSP roms that do not have this option. Need USB debugging on and the screen unlocked
