^tells you how
you pretty much just type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3", then "chmod 777 /system".

I attached a file called sys. push this file to the bin directory and give it permissions then you can just mount the system by typing "sys -rw" to mount read and write and to mount read only you type "sys -ro"
to push the file and give it permissions :
Code:
adb push sys /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 775 /system/xbin/sys
I like the script because its easier to remember than the long command.
If you want to edit the script just open it in notepad and change what you like.
I got that script from Bugless Beast By Pete and modified it to display my rom info.
Remove the ".txt" from the script I had to put that to be able to upload it.

hello x10 buddys
srry for my noob question, but i have a problem...
when i go to run - cmd
adb shell
$ su
#
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
i am able to do this.
No i wanna install a theme with the file ****.cmd
I start the cmd file and i will get this error
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
Why i get this error?
i am not adb shell # at this moment?
You'll only be able to remount while you've root permissions...
If you do SU before doing the .cmd then you should be fine...
(You might also have problems with file permissions, in which case you'll need to run chmod 755 on some directory after remounting. If you've this problem, let us know. Maybe post the .cmd?)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i thougt that was the problem ty
but how i get SU before run the cmd file?
when i do adb shell in the directory of the theme
after that i cant run the cmd files or i did something wrong.
Spend the hole night on it ^^
the cmd file will be alright, its from the New theme here
Have u tried
Adb shell su
Then allow it with superuser?
I'm not sure if it will work as I haven't tested it...
Hope it helps
in my Su on the phone
Unkonwn
/system/bin/sh als root (uid: 0)
i wanna run ***.cmd when i am in cmd with su#
wen i start the **cmd i wil not have su#
i need to do....
adb shell
$ su
#
and then put a command to run ***.cmd file of the theme
when the **.cmd file in c:\desktop\newfolder\***.cmd
which command i need to write when i in adb shell # to run the cmd file??
If I don't remember wrong, I had to do this chmod 4755 /system/bin/su to get the "#" prompt (su) as default in Better Terminal.
Perhaps it will help you too ? (allowing the scripts to run as superuser)
Have you tried doing everything with adb shell? Ie
Adb shell su
Hit enter
Adb shell mount blah blah blah
Hit enter
Adb shell run the cmd
I read somewhere u should only chmod as a last resort and if u know what you're doing. For the most part i have no idea what's going on (i feel like Gary busey) so i haven't tried the chmod.
I would have posted the actual script but its a pita to do from my phone
he said run:not found ^^
How about at the beginning before adb shell su move to the directory its in.
Eg.
cd C:\the directory the cmd is saved

Adb shell run the cmd does NOT mean you should type in Adb shell run <some command>.
It means you should type in Adb shell <some command> where <some command> can be for example su, cp, dd or something else (unix commands).
tread can closed. I dont get it...
You're giving up that quick? :-(
Come on!!!!
Solution A:
1. Go here and download X10Root1.0.8.apk.
2. Install the apk to your phone.
3. Run the app and use it to "unsecure sh".
4. Run your CMD script.
5. Run the app again to "secure sh".
6. If you skipped #5 (secure), go back and do #5.
Solution B (alternative):
1. Download the Standalone Toggle Secure Shell script.
2. Extract and run it (it's a CMD script).
3. Select "Unsecure" and follow the directions (requires some typing or copy/pasting).
4. Run your CMD script.
5. Run the toggle script again to select "Secure".
6. Don't skip #5 (secure).
hey!
im developing an app but its a secret what it is about so i cant tell u to mouch
anyways, im needing help with the code.
Q2?
its very similar to the xRecovery installer for the x10, like when u press 'install' button it copys some files to the system folder, how can i do so?
ex: i want to copy derp.sh to /sdcard/derp.sh and the run the 'derp.sh' file all this from the installer.
Q2?
is it possible to send adb commands from the installer to the phone like "adb shell" or run sh files from the installer?
Q3?
is it possile to add a line of text to 'hw_config' file in 'modules' folder?
BTW im not a expert developer so yeah.....

And all this should i paste in an .sh file ?
I know there are a ton of these topics here, Still having problems.
I'm trying to push a apk to /system/app
First I used adb shell and used su to remount /system/app
example:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
I did this part successfully.
Here is my proof:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

The problem is I don't know how to push a *.apk thur a "adb shell". If I try, I get "push not found"
They only way I know how to push is using a regular linux terminal.
example:
Code:
linux_user:$ adb push /path/to/apk /system/app
however this only works on my Evo 4G (custom rom). On my Samsung Epic 4G (stock rom) I get a permission denied.
I tried adding a su like:
Code:
linux_user:$ adb [color=red]su[/color] push /path/to/apk /system/app
however, that does not seem to be a valid command.
I think I know what my problem is but I don't know how to solve it.
I think the problem is the default user is not #. For example in "adb shell" the default user is
$
and after su
it becomes
#
how do I fix this without switching to custom rom?
I hope I explained this in a way someone can understand.
Searched all over these forums and could not find a solution.
As a work around I installed an Android Terminal Emulator
then from the Android Emulator,
su
cd /sdcard
install name.apk /system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Best work around I could think of. Did I use the correct syntax? the emulator did not have adb or push.
Use Root Explorer
Try To put Your APK in system/app
change ro to rw
Then set the permission as same as other app in the system
then reboot...
I hope it will help your problem....
Hi guys!
I created this thread mainly because many useful things can be done in Terminal emulator. I will show you some simple commands which are useful.
Very useful if you don't have Root explorer when you need it.
Make sure you take a Nandroid backup before you try out just in case you can restore when you do something wrong!
You can get terminal Emulator from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Note: Most commands need root. So type su and press enter and grant superuser permissions to Terminal Emulator!
First type this command before using any of the commands below just in case(needs root)
Code:
su
Some useful commands:
Turning device off (Turns your device off very fast!! ):
Code:
poweroff
Rebooting:
Code:
reboot
Rebooting to Recovery
Code:
reboot recovery
Rebooting to download mode:
Code:
reboot download
Forcing Most Apps to install to SDcard(Root needed with Terminal Emulator, no need root with ADB):
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
Alternatively, you can type 0 at the end instead of 2 for Auto location install mode or 1 for Internal memory install mode
To check what the current install location is:
Code:
pm getInstallLocation
Mounting R/W in system(Use with caution)
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t /system
If above one doesnt work, try this.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Unmounting R/W in system.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t /system
If above code doesn't work, try this
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Moving files from sdcard to system (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
busybox cp /sdcard/<path> /system/<path>
Example: busybox cp /sdcard/demo/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Changing file permissions to rw-r--r-- (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
chmod 644 <path>
Example 1: chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk
Example 2: chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (This command changes the file permission of all apps in the folder to rw-r--r--)
Changing the current directory:
Code:
cd <path>
Example: cd /sdcard
Listing all the files and folders under the current directory:
Code:
ls
If you want to view all the files and folders in your sdcard, type:
cd /sdcard
ls
Making a new folder:
Code:
mkdir <path>
Example: mkdir /sdcard/newfolder
Removing files (For System files, Use after mounting R/W)
Code:
rm <path>
Example: rm /system/app/demoapp.apk
Removing Folders:
Code:
rmdir <path>
Get info of your build.prop values
Code:
getprop
That's all for now. I will add a few more later!
If you have any more new commands or if I have given an improper command, feel free to post it in the thread
Thanks for reading.
Have you any idea on why if I were to enter pm set-install-location 2(SD card), the next line would be "Killed"?

No problem. This is the output from the Terminal Emulator. The bold command changes the default install dir to the SD card:
u0 [email protected]:/ $ pm set-install-location 2

I never got that problem on adb.
Let me see....
This:
mount -o remount rw system
Is much easier than the previous one to mount readwrite.

That is the use of the bootanimation command. You can stop it either by pulling battery or closing terminal emulator!
But what I did to stop it was to rotate my phone to landscape and somehow close terminal emulator.
But in ADB it is easier to stop using exit command.

Hi, does anyone know how to delete a file on root with terminal, as rm -r returns screenshotted error.

Did you execute this command as root ? If not enter "su" then enter your command. (Make sure you hit "Allow" when the prompt for you to allow root accès to the shell appears)
And maybe it sounds stupid but try chmod commands if your command doesn't work.
I'm not an expert with android terminal so if the problem is persistent you can try this with a root explorer.
Hope all of this helped
Have a good day

The partitition you want to deal with must be mounted as READ-WRITE before.

Thank you, it worked, do you know how to undo it, the below command deosn't seem to work and do you know what the "auto" is for in the command?
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t auto /system
