Help please!!!! - General Questions and Answers

i have a phone here from china, the name is KATA iDROID. i was trying to root it using different types of methods, such as doomlord, superoneclick, EPRJ_EasyRoot, zopo zp100 4.0ROOT, z4root, androot, universalandroot, etc.... but i get one respond from all of these. it says failed.
i tried mounting the system manually, but it gives me permission denied.
these are the steps that i tried:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw --t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
adb shell

can anyone help me to mount the system as r/w so i can push the files that i need. thanks in advance guys

What happens when you try to use super1click? Do you have a log for that?

The adb command you are trying will work if your phone is rooted only. I mean you should have super user permission to run the command!
Try to install all the drivers of your mobile on your pc or re-install the drivers, restart the pc and try with super one click!
Super one click will prompt you to install any missing drivers during the process. Accept all and proceed.
If you still get error try

Stuck trying to root coby mid7024-4g

I've been playing with this for a couple days. This is where I'm at:
With adb
I pushed psneuter to /etc/
chmod 777 /etc/psnerter
adb shell
/etc/psneuter
At this point I get the # sign in CMD on win xp. Shell root?
But I do not have root on the tablet. Something in the mess below is the key but I am not sure where. Any help would be greatly a[[appreciated.
Thanks

for whats its worth i ran the z4 thingy and it says im rooted.. dont see the su icon tho..
and i tried in the TE and it wont let me SU.. so <<< fail.
I'm wondering if its su not installing? I installed superuser from market but that may not be the way to go.
Thanks
Something else I noticed is in the /proc/mounts listed above I do not see mmcblk0p4 although it is on my tablet under /dev/block. Is this normal?
Got it, thanks
z4root should do it, it did for me.
i rooted my M10, and a Coby Kyros with it 1 time and done.
Hi, i just got the Mid7024 today. Have anyone found out a way to root the device? I'm very new to this, step by step instructions would be appreciated, thanks.
Yes, I did figure out how to root the MID7024 and posted on another site. Not sure if I'm allowed to link to that site but you can google androidtablets to locate it.

ROOTING GUIDE
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED/NUKED
I finally rooted this device with a little help from its predecessor.
(original guide by revanchdg {credits} found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34398150
1)Install Android SDK and copy the adb_usb.ini(attached post) file to .Android folder in C://your profile name/documents/.Android paste it here
2)Download PDAnet and connect your tablet with USB Debugging on and it installs the drivers
3)Open the SDK manager as administrator and install Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform tools and Google USB Driver
4)Goto C:/Program Files/Android/android sdk>>Goto platform tools>> Open Command line here by pressing Shift+Right mouse button
5)Type adb devices and see if some id with numbers and alphabets is displayed, if it is displayed then you can root using the "root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15" attached post below and extract it and then click on Runme.bat and chose normal and follow the onscreen instructions!
6)When it says that "rebooting device" just switch off the tab and switch back on.
IMP:under any circumstances DO NOT remove the USB cable untill finished.

Why are you mounting mtdblock3? It shows your system as mtdblock4. Not sure on the yaffs2 either. None of those are listed up there.
Mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 or cramfs /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system try something along those lines. Possibly take out the -t and ext3 as well, try cramfs
I could be totally wrong here but from the mount command its showing block4 as your system.

[Q] Problems to swap external sd to internal sd (kitkat 4.4.2)

Hi guys,
i'm sorry if i opened my question in wrong location.
I tried to swap my sd card external for internal in my device, but i don't have success.
I tried using Root External to internal using the following setup:
internal: /mnt/sdcard
external /mnt/sdcard2
device access: /dev/block/vold/179:97
and option: umask=0000
before the kitkat(4.1.2) the process successful .
I list my mount via adb and note that internal is mounted in /storage/emulated/0 and executed manual line on adb:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/shell/emulated/0
apparently worked, i use "ln -l" on "/mnt/shell/emulated/0" with "root" and list external files, but without "root" not worked.
=/
after, i list "mount" and tried in all mounts that use "/dev/fuse" but not worked.
i modified platform.xml (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687734) but not worked.
Below is the list of "mount" default of device:
