Help! Syntax please

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I have typed that in 5 times and it says it's a syntax error. I'm guessing it's a space issue or something. My phone is down.
What is the exact syntax?
Thanks

Are you sure your at the root prompt? Looks like this # and not this $

That syntax is correct. Are you invoking busybox's mount?

I finally got it, thanks.
The way it shows in the root guide is:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
The way I had to type it.
mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3/system
It turned out to be a spaces issue.
I got that part done and then is said "Can't cd sdcard"
My sd card is formatted fat 32 and loaded the rc29 fine but won't cd to sd card. Does it need partitions or something?
Honestly, this is one of the most frustrating things I have ever done in trying to root this phone. Now I can't even use mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3/system.
Please help me out I am still getting usage errors. It must be something to do with spaces in the syntax of mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3/system

The syntax of those lines is all messed up. You need spaces between "yaffs2" and "/dev/block/mtdblock3" and "/system". If your phone is already rooted, just hook it up to adb and type adb remount.

Thanks jashsu, that did it. For a total noob like me, I just didn't understand.

Using terminal emulator (easy mount)

Im always using terminal emulator to mount the /system partition but got fed up of typing it in all the time so.....
Using terminal emulator by Jack Palkevich
MENU>PREFERENCES>INITIAL COMMAND>
Change it to su && mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Voila now the system partition is mounted whenever you enter terminal emulator!
Hopefully someone else will find this as useful as i have.

Installing service.jar

How do you do it? Just same as adb push? Or any special way? Don't wanna get stuck to bootloader again.....
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I just do this
Code:
adb push services.jar /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/userdata /data
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/userdata /data
reboot

try: adb shell mount -o remount,rw system

Code:
adb remount
It should do the trick too

lol, that's shorter indeed

adb remount will only remount an existing mount, it won't create one.
It's not clear what the OP wants.
You don't need rw to deodex a ROM because you certainly don't want to write to system whilst you're doing it.
Also, I thought the stock ROM was deodexed?
To mount system in recovery, which will give you rw access and allow you to pull the files you need you just type:
Code:
mount /system
or
Code:
adb shell mount /system
Because system is included in /proc/mtd

to all: the answer is:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

Hi, this seems to work for me:
Open a terminal (Command Prompt).
type adb shell
type su
You should see a # in your prompt.
type mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and Bingo! Your /system is now mounted as r/w. [NOTE: There will be no confirmation message. Your command will simply be printed again, and that means its a success)
The possible error might be that you forgot the su part. I'm making a wild guess that it stands for superuser. The first time I tried this, I didn't know about the 'su' and I wasted a little time because of that.
Hope this helped.

Well thank you! We might have a new root method. PM me and you can test it.

Well considering this post is a day or so old now I would love to know if you found a new rooting method? And is this for post patch or before it?

Nope-- we don't use yaffs2 on this phone, change that to "ext3".
Also, a shorter version is just "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system". No need to specify the filesystem type if it's in fstab.
