Hi,
I get through this with my eye's closed but when I have to type in the chmod line,and hit enter, it says, "unable to chmod : / Read-Only file system / I've asked this on many different forms, and researched it and tried a lot of code to fix it, none of witch worked, so now I'm just asking strait out if anyone knows how I can fix this, It's done this on 2 separate computers so It's doubtful that it's a PC problem.
Thanks for reading this and perhaps helping me, I'm about to rip my hair out, lol,

Wait what?
So it's rooted tab yeah and your? Terminal or abd? Into the system. So you have super user rights huh? And the system files are mounted as read/write? If you said yes to these questioned which I assume you will as it sounds like you are savvy with permissions and how android mounts its system files from the "eyes closed" part then its a new one on me, I have never heard of this problem?
Oh and what kernel you running? is it gingerbread or froyo?

Don't forget to grant superuser its permissions. Check if the app is asking for it. Perform adb with tab on, superuser will pop up.
I felt for that couple of times.
Anyway use root explorer navigate into //system/ and there will be a button on the top to mount the system read/write. Then long press your file and select the permissions you want. Hit the same. Button as before to remount as read only and your away..

No having super user rights doesn't mean you can write or change system files per say.. you first need the system mounted read/write which as a super user you do have the rights to....
So yes su is important but I suspect the issue here is the way the system is mounted...

And lastly I'm thinking this doesn't qualify to be in the development section bud .. its a little cause and general and should be in General section not Here.
Sorry but its out of control on these boards.... these threads shouldn't be in the development section unless you are developing something or are replying to a development thread about, well.... a development ... or finally, ahhhhh....ummm, bah... development... just had to say it one more time and couldn't get a third reason... I don't want to be harsh or you think I'm flaming you its just my 2 cents....

You're trying to write data to a partition mounted as read only.
To mount the system partition so you can write to it, simple issue this command:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And of course to mount it back to read only again:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
i have a SGH-T849..
i want to carrier unlock it.. also i couldn't find the dialer & the messaging application in the phone.. so wanted to know how to make voice calls & send messages in it??
Sorry for the bad English & for being a noob
it's adb,, and I have super permissions, yes and it says it's a Read-only file system when I go to write my chmod. The "eye's closed" part of my post was just me being sarcastic about the amount of phones I've done this too and the amount of time I've done it with zero problems.. that's all.
Yup, I did that.. thanks a lot for the advice..!!

When do I enter that into my command prompt? right before I try to chmod or right after????

Whoops, I thought the file you were chmod'ing was in the system partition.
The data partition is already mounted with read/write.
Your chmod command is incorrect... there is an extra space in there.
It should be:
chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image
I don't think the data partition is mounted as read only (I could be wrong, but I didn't think it was)

Hello everyone.
First off all i hope this post is in the right section.
Let me get this out off the way first:
Im not good at english, and im not good at cmd files and so on.
But! i can succecsfully root my phone and get the # in cmd.
The reason im rooting is becouse i want the market patch so i can see all apps.
Here is my questions:
1. Whenever i try to adb push vending......
It says "the file is read-only" i cheked its not read only
So how do i fix that?
2. In the guide to root the phone he says:
"You can do anything then! Look at /system, /data, etc etc. You're broken free, my friend"
Where can i see the /system and so on? he says look at, but where can i look at it? how can i like acces the folders?.
So on the easy way, i search a way to install the market patch.
Thank you everyone
Bump, i really hope someone will help
Anyone? please?
When you have root, you need to mount r/w partition:
- adb push tattoo-hack.ko ./data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko (if you haven't did it before)
- adb shell
$
- su
#
- # insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And now you have mounted in r/w, so:
- adb push Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
p.s. ah...you can access system folders with Root Explore (it needs root)
I never had to mount anything. I did the latest root hack in the sticky at top of forum and then i installed the full market apk. Worked a treat.

You have to write "adb push vending....." non in "adb shell" but in "adb" (open another cmd and as for example "cd c:\android\tools", then "adb push" etc.)
Stupid me
Am so thankfull to you guys, you really helped me alot Thank you really much!
Okay, now i get "permisson denied" when im trying to "adb push vending..."
I opened a new CMD and typed cd c android tools, i just get permission denied.
Can anyone help me about that? Thank you guys so far

Have you opened new cmd closing the other or not?
You don't have to close the first cmd.
Try. If it doesn't work, probably there are some problems with the root procedure, in that case try that solution: Root in 1 click. It contains: root, boot.img, market (also recovery if you choose it).
Yea, i have tryed root in 1 click, but does it really include market?
Root in 1 click gives me the same error ?
Okay maybe this is alot to ask for but is there anyone out there that can make a video of it all from rooting to push market. i would be so thankfull.
And its not just for me, it would help alot out there. im so thank full
Damn, now it says "read only file system" again.
Can anyone post a detalied how-to Thank you really much.
Im going to bed now, cheking this post tommorow.

Am from denmark if it matters.

You have to repeate that every time you reboot:

- # insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And then you have mounted in r/w:
- adb push Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
(one time)
Okay I Will try that when I get home. Can I use the 2. 1 market I mean so I can have all the 500 apps or is it only for 2 1 firmware modded phones?

I am willing to pay someone if someone can figure out how to remove factory apps like

stock massages
i never use them for some reason they run in the background
Just take a look at this thread from the android forums
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53646-unwanted-apps.html
NOTE: you MUST have ROOT in order to remove those apps.
If the instructions in that thread about "adb" are too complicated for you, then go buy the Root Explorer app, navigate to the folders you were told to in the thread, click the "r/w" button at the top of the app, then long press on the files you are told to delete.
Deleting system apps is risky if you delete the wrong ones. As usual, you are responsible if anything happens.
As I see it, you must have root to modify system files on your ROM (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
But I was able to use Titanium Back up (downloaded from the Android market, free) to see all installed programs and I successfully deleted Visual VM, Peep, and stock messages... I use the others...
now so far, my ROM that is installed [2.1 version .3] hasn't had any problems with the removal of these system programs, So I think it is a safe method.
I believe this is a good alternative to adb commands... since you know what you are deleting.
and of course, I am not responsible if you do happen to mess your phone up.

FYI, you were typing the commands wrong.
Right after you do "adb shell" you'll need to type "su" and the $ prompt should change to a # prompt. Check your phone as well after typing "su" as you should see a popup asking for permission.

I just downloaded Titanium Backup and deleted the "worldclock.apk" and I have to say it's a nice app, (Titanium that is)
So far, from the VanillaDroid ROM, I've deleted the following with no ill effects:
Stocks
Weather ( I use WBug)
Visual Voicemail
Browser ( I use Dolphin)
Quickoffice
MMS
Talk
Mail
Deskclock
I would like to delete the following but am having some difficulty finding the correct "apk"
Camcorder (I think it's built into the camera?)
Call History
People Search
Settings (just the app in the drawer, another NAND before I do this I guess)
Voice Dialer
Voice Search
Voice Record
NaviPanel ***Anyone know if this will mess with Maps?***
FACEBOOK !!!! I deleted the "Facebook.apk" but the FB app is still in the drawer and it still works fine. If anyone could help me with deleting this one I would be forever greatful! Trying to delete it using Titanium, it says: "cannot find Facebook.apk" But it's still friggin there......argh!
Edit: Woohoo! Facebook is gone.
Titanium tells me it needs root acess and that's out of question. Then again, I'm on the lg ally and it might be different... idk. Any other suggestions?

Hi,
How did you get these into the right folders?
What commands did you use?
Tried root explorer and su file manager and they won't paste ther files into system/etc or system/media.
adb gives a no access and can't use adb remount to push file.
So I am stuck.

Thanks for posting this, exactly what I was looking for!
I have busybox 1.6 on my captivate i see on www.busybox.net 1.17.3 is out. I have downloaded it from the site and its a tar file with a folder with a whole bunch of folders and files. How do you install this?
Are you familiar with the phrase, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it?"
I advise you to heed its warning.
But if you must proceed, a quick google search for "how to install busybox manually" brings up this very good result: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/82573-busybox-manual-install-how-guide.html
Edit: By the way, love the avatar. Great album.
Yes i understand if its not broke don't try to fix it but i'm a OCD updater! Would there be any advantages of updating it? P.S. I saw Megadeth and Slayer a month ago they rocked!
Only advantages I can see are having a couple more bug fixes and maybe 4-5 new commands built in.
Download Busybox-1.17.2 HERE
Extract busybox to your SD Card
Make sure you are in PC Mode and Debugging is enabled in Applications options
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/
cd system/xbin
busybox --install /system/xbin/
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot
You can also use Root Explorer or whatever file browser you may use to copy busybox to your system/xbin folder. Some people use system/bin but I prefer xbin...just a habbit.
Click to expand...

Ya, I read that and got really scared.
What is PC mode and where do you type these commands? (Vista user)
Ok, figured out how to type in the commands and stuff, but I get stuck on the "cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/" part, I get "cp: not found" I tried lookin up other methods and I keep getting stuck at the same part - trying to move the folder to the xbin folder. adb push gives me the same error - adb: not found.

I think you're seriously confused. The Captivate isn't a NAND locked phone. Generally when you root, busybox is installed. (I think. At least it always was for me.) You could also try installing Titanium Backup and have that install busybox for you.
In the latest cm9 nightly build - update-cm-9-20120419-NIGHTLY, my wifi is not work with my own kernel.
So, I checked the catalog, and found this: wifi modules was changed.
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14910/1/BoardConfigCommon.mk
old path: /system/modules/bcm4329.ko
new path: /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
It will cause your wifi not work with custom kernel.
If your wifi is not work, just make a symbol link, type these command in the terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
#Thanks Paragon_X, I forgot to tell you to remount /.
mount -o remount,ro /system
Or, you are the kernel developer, your should put your kernel modules in both path, or link them.
Thanks
I confirm this change as well and the fix worked.
I have the wifi authentication problem. Do I flash the download link from the link you posted?

Okay thanks so regarding the command written... is there spaces in there or am I seeing things?
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
I'm not familiar with typing in superuser so I have to ask
There are spaces.
If you are unfamiliar with the spaces, then you will be unfamiliar with the before and after commands around that command too:
mount -o remount,rw /system
and
mount -o remount,ro /system
Thanks for the fix!

Thanks that will be handy for surprised users, if CM actually thought things through, they would link the dirs to allow a transition time where kernels work with modules in old location and new location.

Typed in "mount -o remount,rw /system" . Pressed enter. Didnt say anything
Typed in "ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko". Pressed Enter
It showed up "link failed File exists"
now its changed to "255|[email protected]:/". Before it was "[email protected]:/"
I than typed in "mount -o remount,ro /system"
My wifi still doesnt work
I'll reply here to. The reason you can not link (ln) is that there is a file where you are trying to add a "shortcut" just remove the bcm*.ko file in /system/lib/modules and copy the module from /system/modules there. I used root explorer then it's just cut and paste

Mount /system as R/W (read-write) first.

root explorer has an option in the top of the screen, mount r/w. press it, it will now say mount r/o, thats what you want.

I still have no luck. Is the error everyone getting the authentication problem? and simply wifi indicator wont popup?
For all the people who dont get this too well, especielly me. Could an experienced, someone who knows this, write out the complete instructions and codes to do it. Preferably in detail because some of us have no idea what we are suppose to do. And suggest what type of programs we should be using. thanks in advance.
Ok. Let's take it from the start. When android boots it loads the kernel to handle all the drivers and inner workings of the OS. It also loads modules, that's optional drivers loaded on demand. Now CM9, used to load it's modules from /system/modules but has changed it's location to /system/lib/modules. This is new to the people making custom kernels which kernel installs it's modules in the wrong place. This makes the new kernel try to load the old module but fails because of different kernel source versions. Now, our task is to move the new module in /system/modules to /system/lib/modules overwriting the old one.
Start a terminal.
Type su and enter to become superuser which is the only user with rights to change system files.
Now if there is a box asking you to allow this, press allow.
Now type:
mount -o remount, rw /system
This will make the system folder and child folders writable.
type:
rm /system/lib/modules/bcm*
That will remove the old module.
Type:
cp /system/modules/bcm* /system/lib/modules
Reboot and it should work.
