If you have adb installed then it is easy...!
Code:
adb remount
If it doesn't work
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system /system

ROOTED: adb remount fails ???

ok, so before i reflashed my rooted hero with Modaco on it to stock sprint ROM, all adb commands were working fine, I could easily write a file to phone's system using adb push command.
NOW, after updating and rerooting it,
it won't give me a permission to do adb remount in order to do adb push.
It will still let me get into SU and write a file from there,
for example i'll have to adb push a file to /sdcard/ then get into SU and do cat /sdcard/myfile >/system/myfile and it works fine,
but NOT adb remount!!
Any ideas why this is happening? (thanks)
not sure , but its been confirmed that flash modaco first then then fresh rom and then push to system, btw that's what i did, and im using fresh rom .4 with MR. Working Great here...

try
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I did it, it's a part of the rooting process, and that's wat let me write files within the shell or remove them, but when i exit out to do adb commands it seems like it remounts back to read only mode and doesnt permit to remount from adb remount
I'M HAVINg this same problem. No idea why.
I'm pretty sure this is because the /default.prop file has the permissions set to read only. I've been trying to figure out how to change this, but having no luck with this or other modifications that MoDaCo built into this ROM. started a thread over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586630
There's other mods, such as setting up the superuser whitelist app. Hopefully someone with some experience helps us newbie's along.

Trying to root Celkon A59

Hello experts,
I have experience of few Sony, Samsung devices. Rooting has been easy. Something or the other always works.
But, recently got a Celkon A59 (not sure who is the OEM) and no matter what I do, I can not root it. It is 2.3.6 device.
I have tried the following
1. zergRush
2. OneClickRoot
3. SRSRoot
4. manually copied su, busybox to /data/local/tmp. Tried RW mount of /system. But /system fails to mount in rw mode. I get an error
$ ./busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think other methods are also failing due to remount is failing
5. Tried building my own update.zip with busybox, su etc.. When tried to load it in recovery mode, I get signature verification error. I also tried to sign it using signapk.jar. But, same result. Looks like the zip needs to be signed with manufacturers keys. But, with these OEM devices, you do not even know that!
Now I am out of ideas.
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel version: 2.6.37.7

[Completed] [Q] Lenovo Tab Bricked (Due to deodexing)

So I was trying to deodex my stock rom (my tab is rooted: ICS 4.0.4), I followed this commands using adb to deodex my stock rom (this commands are from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374008):
adb
shellsu
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
I assume that my stock rom is deodexed. After I did all these commands using adb, I rebooted my tab and it got stuck in the boot logo (the lenovo logo after the boot animation), It doesnt turn off when it comes to the boot logo (I discharge it to turn it off). I can enter recovery mode (stock recovery 3e). Ive tried wiping data and factory reset, wipe cache partition, sideload a custom rom(i cant find stock rom for my model)(installation aborted bec i have stock recovery).
Ive tried doing this to odex my system: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390162 , but I dont know how to do it since I cant connect to adb due to being stuck in boot logo.
My Tablet Specs:
Model: Lenovo A7-50 A3500-HV 7inch Tablet
OS: Android ICS 4.0.4 Rooted (Stock Rom from Manufacturer)
Recovery: Stock Recovery 3e
CPU: MTK 8382 QC 1.3GHz
I just want to be able to use my tablet again. How will I fix it? Unbrick it? I cant find any other solutions, the last solution I thought of is to ask here in xda. Please help mee! Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like to me that you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I've found this which may be the best place to ask if anyone with your device knows where to find it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lenovo-a3500hv-root-cwm-flashtool-t2899844
Good luck!

use adb to do the job.
put modified platform.xml in external sdcard (/storage/sdcard1)
then type this in adb
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /storage/sdcard1/platform.xml /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
# mount -o remount,ro /system
# exit
$ exit
adb reboot
when i type # mount -o remount,rw /system it said operation not premited . when i keep type cp /storage/sdcard1/platform.xml /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml it said file only read system . so it haven't mount it to read write system yet

Your problem is simple! You dont turn off sony ric before making what vinay says.
Tell me, Your bootloader is unlockable? If not then looks for ways to kill the Sony ric with lock bootloader.
I didn't turn off my device when i mount system as vinay said. And my phone already unlock bootaloader.

If your bootloader is unlocked then does the following. You're going here and download this kernel that is in the form of an iso file.
After that you open the "FlashTool" and you will flashing this iso / kernel that your problem is automatically solved!
To get into fastboot mode press the volume up.
I download it but it in zip fotmat
i dont know what kernel my phone use ^^ ( actually i dont understand what kernel mean ) but i still flash my phone with the firmware i fond on this site http://xperiafirmware.com/

Flash any firmware that is in version 4.4.4 android!
After that, you will download this file and uncompress it.
Turn on your D2203 in fastboot mode and flash iso file.
After that you're going to go into recovery mode (cwm) and flash the root user apk zip.:silly:
