Hi! My problem is that I want to mod /system/etc stuff. But problem is: I can't mount /system rw in adb shell!
I'm using CM11 20140622 Nightly
What i've tried:
- sysrw command(alias sysrw='mount -o remount,rw /system')
- by hand(mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system)
None of those commands produce output and they exit 0
- ES File Explorer and CM File Manager
I don't know how, but mounting rw in UI always works, but not over adb.
Can anyone tell me a solution how to mount /system rw successfully over shell?

Windows or Linux? Are you using an outdated adb?
That's definitely correct, I tested it.

remove and reinstall your adb
Works fine with that command on both windows and linux for me.
Does adb devices even work?
Can you screenshot the error?

There is actually and it's set to "Apps and ADB", but I might try out next nightly. It might doesn't have that problem anymore. Prolly some SELinux conflict or kernel blocks something
Now it works.
I think it was CM problem.

For posterity, I'm adding what worked for me on LolliKat (which is cm11) for doing this from the phone's console/shell: I had to use the command `/system/bin/mount` rather than just `mount`. Once that had been done once, the other methods would work fine until reboot. (I was doing this because somehow link2sd had lost its ability to "update mount scripts" and "integrate system app updates".
These all worked for me:
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system

I'm trying to push an apk there but I can't get permission. I tried using this:
Code:
adb shell mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
but it told me "operation not permitted". I got that code from the one click root.
What am I doing wrong?
When in the sdk tools directory but not in adb do;
adb push C:\file.apk /sdcard/file.apk
then open shell
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
now you are mounted. Just move the file
mv /sdcard/file.apk /system/app/file.apk
Thanks

I'm not sure why that is happening, I didn't use a one click to root but you can always use the command: mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
to mount /system as read,write.

By the looks of that error I think busybox either isn't installed or not installed correctly.i am not positive but I think that its a busybox problem.
Yeah skeeter is right about busy box, whatever set up busy box didn't do it right

What do you guys think I should do?
I tried one click root again. The rooting is successful but still get the above error.
Most of the stuff that requires root (wifi tether, setcpu etc.) is working fine.
How to install busybox manually?

Sounds like you should just make sure busy box is installed properly. I would download the busybox installer from the market and install 1.17.1
You can't mount the filesystem tha way on the phone, you must use the other script (pita, I know). The remount command only works like that through adb (adb remount) and not from shell.

Remount will work from a shell in connectbot if busybox is install correctly. My suggestion would be to flash a kernel with root and busy box in it. Just be sure to remove the joeykrim root exploit before you flash thr kernel.

Hey guys,
Loaded BAMF 1.5 yesterday and have been enjoying the ROM thus far. However, I've been trying to push my custom widget.txt to the \system\customize\ folder so I can have my own power controls in the notifcation bar. I have tried the Mount rw/ro app from the Market, and have also tried mounting rw using adb (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system).
Each time, when I use the command: adb push widget.txt /system/customize/ I get the error: failed to copy 'widget.txt' to '\system\customize\': Read-only file system
Where am I going wrong?

I'm pretty sure the TB is using EXT3, not YAFFS2.
Try
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Even easier, assuming you have busybox. busybox mount isn't as lame as the standard mount which is provided, so you don't have to tell it as much, it can figure things out on its own:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
even easier.
sysrw
sysro
Doesn't anyone ever read the first post of my rom?
I'm an idiot. Thanks for the ext3 vs yaffs2 reminder.
I'll try busybox at some point also to check
And to Adrynalyne, apparently I didn't read the first post...my bad. Thanks for reading mine, though. I'll pay closer attention in the future.

From the dev's forum :
- To use Clemsyn-Blades 3.2 OC (v2-4) with PRIME 1.7-final, do following:
Install PRIME 1.7-final
Delete /system/lib/modules/voodoo-sound.ko (eg rename voodoo-sound.bak)
Install Clemsyn-Blades OC kernel
Everything should be fine, voodoo-sound enabled in kernel

Forgive my noobness but how do you mount /system in read/write mode instead of read only ?
I tried mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system while in root in an adb shell but it screwed the tablet, shut it down and turned it in bootloop...
Can someone script the correct method please ?
Thx

This is what I use (because I don't want to try to get all the -o options right, only the ones I know for certain):
$su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
// and after changes
# sync
# mount -o ro,remount /system
# exit
$ exit
...
Hopefully that'll work OK for you. I'm talking about doing this from within terminal emulator, although I'm sure it's the same from adb shell. I just tried it again to be sure.
The idea is that since it's just a change in how it's mounted, it knows everything about how it's mounted already, so just tell it to change the ro/rw flag and to remount. You can see a lot of flags if you just type in # mount | grep system, but entering them correctly and in sequence might be another story.
Good luck -

i want to use INT2EXT in cm9 i followed this tutorial
xpmode said:
INT2EXT+ INSTALLATION TUTORIAL
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE S2E, LINK2SD OR SIMILAR, YOU MUST REPARTITION SD CARD AND FACTORY WIPE
int2ext+ is a relatively new script that instead of making symbolic links(Link2SD) or moving certain partitions(S2E) to sd, extends your internal storage into your ext partition in sd, which means S2E's potential space saving and Link2SD's stability combined together and gives you something to brag about.
PREPARATIONS
Download the latest build of CyanogenMod 9.
Download the latest version of CronMod INT2EXT+ here.
Open CyanogenMod 9 zip.
Navigate to /system/etc/init.d
Open INT2EXT+ zip.
Navigate to /system/etc/init.d
Add the file called 40int2ext in the /system/etc/init.d directory in CM9 zip.
INSTALLATION
Go to recovery, do factory reset and advanced > partition sd card.
Select 1024M for ext(for some reason, I selected 4096 and it only read the first 1GB-ish) and 0M for swap.
Wait until it says Done and goes to menu.
Go to Mounts and Storage.
Select USB storage and connect your phone to your computer.
Copy your modified CM9 zip file to the root of your sd.
Select unmount.
Reflash ROM.
Reboot.
After reboot, go to settings > developer settings > root access and select Apps and ADB.
Go to your adb directory and do adb shell.
Type su.
Then do:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Reboot.
After reboot, reboot into recovery and flash gapps.zip normally.
Then go to Applications and enjoy your new, extended internal storage.

Err, now that's funny. To do adb shell, all you have to do is put in the command adb shell
Isn't that funny? xD
What the guide meant for adb directory is the place where the adb.exe file is kept.
So all you have to do is put in cmd:
adb shell
and while you're in shell you just put in those commands:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
After that to close the terminal, type in:
exit
then adb reboot
Hope that helps =)

Hmmm, you don't need adb for this. Just use terminal emulator on your phone. It comes installed by default on CM9 roms. Or you can search play store for android terminal emulator. The app is by Jack Palevich
Code:
su
mount -rwo remount /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -ro remount /system
Then again, I don't really see why it is necessary to deny execute permissions to these scripts in first place. They are just empty shells - unless they have been modified.
I'm using int2ext4 right now and never really had to...
EDIT: If you want to reverse these changes then
Code:
su
mount -rwo remount /system
chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d
mount -ro remount /system

As of link2sd it uses installrecovery.sh file in /system/etc to mount sd-ext partition. It then moves apps/data/dalvik-cache to sd-ext and places symlinks at the original locations.
Take a look here where i've explained why symlink based apps/scripts should not be used on HTC explorer.
