Make sure /system is mounted with R/W rights. Not all file explorer apps do this automatically. With Root Explorer for example you have to touch "Mount R/W" before it does so.

I read the tip in another thread about how to disable and/or change the Captivate's startup and shutdown sounds but cannot find the files mentioned on my phone. Does anyone have more detailed instructions on how to get rid of the annoying startup and shutdown sounds without using the SDK?
You must have root, then use a file manager (I use root explorer) and rename or delete the sound file:
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

I keep getting an error saying I don't have the permissions to rename those files... I'm using several different file explorer apps and they all give me the same message
Do you have root access? If so change the filesystem to RW or use Root Explorer.

I didn't know how to change it to R/W so paid for the App, well worth the $3 thanks for the quick replies
Still unable to find the files. I am using the default file manager with View Hidden Files enabled and there is no /system directory.

You need to download a manager that has ROOT capabilities or you will not find them.

Easy with ConnectBot to turn off that annoying startup sound.
Connect to local system
su
(Confirm superuser request)
mv /system/etc/PowerOn.wav /system/etc/PowerOn.bak
exit
exit
Done!
Thanks for this LGSilva
I finally ponied up and bought Root Explorer. I found the files and renamed them and everything seems to be working.
Would love to find this info myself.
I cant get access from root explorer. Says read only even with hidden files shown. What am I missing?

Did you allow superuser permission when prompted?

Worked great - thank you
It never prompted me. It is rooted and i toggled the button to mount but no access. I got it to five me check marks for read and write, but they were already checked.

it will not authorize my purchase in the market becuase of it being in UK currency. is there an alternative file manager like root explorer, so i can move a bootanimation file in the /system/media folder?

Super manager in the market, wen you DL, you have to go to super manag. Options and check root otherwise its just a file explorer

EStrong's File Explorer has a root option too, but the last time I tried using ES, it would only ever work once. If I rebooted or exited the app, I'd have to FC it and Wipe Data or else it'd hang up trying to open back up.

that worked, thanks!
This is odd, if I goto /system/ in root explorer it wont let me change from R/O to R/W to edit files.
When I start the app it says it's been granted super user, wtf am I doing wrong?
Updated Root Explorer its fixed ;p
You can always tell those who pirated Root Explorer, LOL.

Hello Members
I'm kinda new to rooting, i just installed ics 4.0.4 rooted it and now im having problems changing permissions in root explorer. Im trying to install Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip. I'm following the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818. But its not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
just a guess but mayybe becuase it is in the i-777 forum, it could have diff, libs or something. idk if im right or not.
It worked fine when i had gingerbread. Since ive had ics been having issues with root explorer. I got passed moving the file from sd to system/app with help from other threads but when i try to change permissions in root explorer i get the message.

What's the message?

A warning box pops up and contains this message: Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
The mod isn't phone specific, it worked when i had gingerbread on the same phone.
Check Superuser SU for any errors. It may have denied permissions. If so, just click the button at the bottom to enable RootExplorer to make SU changes.
Please help me...!!!
when i m trying to chage the permission in root explorer its showing me...'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission changes.'
plz tell me how to solv it...I have LG P698 mobile phone...its hv android 2.3.4
I've got root, SuperSU, and it won't let me change the files at all. I can't rename the files. Just says, "HotspotProvision.akp cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only". I can't find a permissions option. Do I need the pay version of Root Explorer?
What am I missing here?
The filesystem needs mounted as read write

The problem maybe with supersu binaries, delete these files through twrp or cwm recovery
system/etc/install-recovey.sh
system/xbin/ksud, ku.sud and su
I rooted with the method from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646 and then installed superuser. I then tried to update the binary from 3.0.3.2 or whatever to 3.1, but it fails on mounting /system as rw. I tried reinstalling superuser but no dice. Thanks in advance.
Super user apk doesn't come with the binary. I too had issues, couldn't mount /system as RW, I mounted as RW using ES File Explorer and then reran the binary update.
You could manually install it from the V6 Supercharger files, copy/paste using a rooted file explorer or pushing with adb.

Open es file explorer, go to settings > root enhancements > check all of them, the third one down is "mount /system rw". Then re-run the binary update. If its cool, you can revert the root enhancements if you want.

Thanks. I've tried that about 5 times but it isnt working. Should I in some way try to update the binary within ES explorer?

I'm not familiar with how to do that. If your using superuser, you could try using supersu.
I have tried superuser about 10-15 times to update the binary also but that doesn't work either.
