[Q] Theme Installation Problem: "mount: Operation not permitted" (Fixed) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologise is a similiar issue has been posted on several occasions. I did try the search and couldn't get a solution for my trouble.
As the title saids I am trying to install the Dark10 Series theme but in the CMD box on my laptop I get the error
"mount: Operation not permitted"
Also:
"cannot open for write: Read-only file system"
I am guessing the above error has somthing to do with root. Although I am clueless to be brutally honest.
If someone can give me a simple helping hand I would appreciate it.
Not very knowledgable on the whole adb thing and commands etc.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit:
Model number: X10i
Firmware version: 1.6 (Duh! )
Baseband version: 1.1.31
Kernal Version: 2.6.29-rel
[email protected] #2
Build number: R2BA026
Fixed the problem, was somthing to do with the shell being locked or somthing. Got it working though!
Steps I took:
1. Add the java thing to Enviroment Variables (Computer>System properties>advanced settings>enviroment variables)
Path: )\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\android\tools\;
Then got a file that unlocks adb script (search forum)
And that was it sorry cant be of more help I zone out when i have a problem and concentrate on fixing it without really knowing what i am doing

U should post the solution and put fixed in the title to help others.

post detailed steps of solution
i always face the same problem
thx in advance

I had the same problem. What you need to do is open darker 10 launcher and go to option 7 from the list. Read the instructions carefully and at the prompts on the screen type in the code supplied.
From what I understand it adds Additional script to your phone that allows you to mount the image.
Make sure phone is in developer mode.

thx a lot it workd

Thanks for posting this topic,
I would've spent the whole night on this and probably still wouldn't be able to figure out anything!

I have similar problem with one of the themes.
UNSECURING THE SHELL
Type each of these at the given prompt and press enter after each line.
Dont type the prompt <$ or #> itself!
$ su <NOW CHECK HANDSET FOR A SU REQUEST>
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
# exit
$ exit
What should i type in $ su ? also if smb can, type all the lines correct,im not a programmer :/

Modify your chargemon file so its enables utf8 for non ascii letter.
You need to do this on 2.1 ROM, not 2.2 ROM. The file is located in /system/bin
look for this
Code:
mount -t vfat -o rw,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sd
and change into this
Code:
mount -t vfat -o rw,noatime,nodiratime,utf8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sd

You must use a Unix/Linux format capable text editor for this. Notepad will not work.
You can try ultraedit for it.

2.2 Custom ROM FAQ
How and what happened if upgrade from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2?
Just copy data.img and system.img replacing your current one in FreeX10 folder.
This will replace all your 0.0.1 data, be sure to back up first with Titanium Backup
WiFi is running and connected, but cannot browser
This problem seems to be occurring on selected few.. You can set static IP to your android.
Go to Settings -> Wireless ... -> WiFi, then press menu button. From there you can se static IP
Is there a possibility of Timescape and Mediascape for 2.2 Custom ROM
The answer is yes, its possible.
I managed to install Mediascape.apk into 2.2 Custom ROM, but cannot run.
The reason it cannot run is because UX is using a lot of things in Framework-res.apk, images, layout, styles, and etc which cannot be copied directly from SE 2.1 into 2.2 AOSP. It requires someone to properly put all values, resolving conflicts inside Framework-res.apk before the UX can run, which will take months or at least weeks if someone dedicated his or her day job for it. Then after that we still need to deal with external files. So in conclusion, while it still possible, i don't think anyone will do it because of the time demanding process.
I want to help devs solving bugs, i found one but i don't know what actually happend.
While usb connected, from command prompt, type
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
This will output a lot of debugging info into logcat.txt file, later if you find bug, you take a look inside the file.
See anything error or info related to the bug, and post here.. When writing the logcat.txt output, but them inside
Code:
brackets.
Do not post everything.. post few lines related to the bugs.

Nice work. THis is handy
As i posted in the Main thread!
I think some of the force closes, (mainly acore and google framework) and the fact that the market crashes, come down to importing a vcard!
I imported vcard, get many force closes, market stops working, I clean install and don't install the vcard. Everything functions fine.
I do believe this is the reason!
Greeet ~~!! but can u tell me the seloution of this proplem :

[krn.module] CIFS kernel module for X10 GB (SAMBA shares)

Hello guys,
I've compiled the CIFS module for our X10 (stock kernel version for 2.3.3, that is 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 ).
Introduction
CIFS is for allowing to mount SAMBA/CIFS shares from Windows (mostly), so that they appear like a folder on the phone.
Specifically, you can watch movies on your X10 from a share, without first copying them to the phone. In fact you can mount any SAMBA share and do all operations with it.
There are two modules that do the job: cifs.ko (which is the main one) as well as nls_utf8.ko which just provides UTF-8 support for file/folder names within the shares.
Installation
Once you have unpacked the zip and extracted the two modules into the folder of your choice, the commands are these:
Code:
adb push "nls_utf8.ko" /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
adb push "cifs.ko" /sdcard/cifs.ko
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/lib/modules
cp /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko .
cp /sdcard/cifs.ko .
insmod nls_utf8.ko
insmod cifs.ko
mkdir /sdcard/cifs
mount -o username=<yours>,password=<yours>,iocharset=utf8 -t cifs //<serverip>/<sharename> /sdcard/cifs
Now you can cd to your /sdcard/cifs and see the files shared there.
Observations
1. nls_utf8.ko is not mandatory and if your files don't have UTF-8 characters and only ascii, you can skip it IF you remove the isocharset=utf8 from the mount command above.
2. Music will stutter with all players I've tried. found an opinion that might be android lowlevel subsystem for reading mp3 files, and that they don't buffer enough - and given the latency over WIFI, this will create pauses / stuttering in the music. However, you can still copy the audio files, etc.
3. Movie playing works! I've tried RockPlayer for few minutes and didn't have an issue (seems it handles buffering very well) since it is software and thus they don't rely on some Android codec / etc.
4. Skip works! Again in Rock Player, you can skip in the movie and it takes a bit to skip there, but it does.
5. umount usually fails, since I assume, Android apps don't really exit and don't really free the resources. Once a file open, it doesn't let me un-mount saying that the resource / device is busy.
Download
Use it at your own risk!

Chefs can bundle the files within the ROMs they offer - but please add this link into descriptions so that people can discuss issues they might encounter.
Cool.. Will try..

nice! i am gonna try this!
New toy I'll give this a go tonight and report back. Thanks!
Hi viulian,
Thanks for the module. Would you mind if I include it in the hotfix for my rom?

Absolutely no problem Z please do.
This module definetly requires an app to manage CIFS, mounting them with selected user/pass/path.
You can try cifs manager, its good.
Btw i thought the new sources weren't released yet.
I'm using old 2.1 sources and I could build these modules using Sony's blog post about how to compile kernels (with their CodeSourcery compiler) and a bit of Google foo.
Btw, I have another one ready, the cpufreq_interactive one which I'm creating a new thread now.
Later edit:
Although initially I read posts complaining about Sony's decision to keep the old 2.1 kernel (2.6.29) instead of the recommended (2.6.32) for GingerBread, it turned out that it was actually a smart move
Basically, the cifs module at least was much more difficult to port, due to the slow_work.ko module that needed to be compiled as well and inserted before.

Yes - if you handle copying the module to sdcard separately and then you become root in terminal, then it's the same.

When you start the terminal, you notice you have a $ sign displayed to the left of the command prompt. That means you do not have the rights to do most things, since $ is for standard (limited) user.
What you need is to type command
Code:
su
And then your prompt will change to the dash sign #.
That means now you have full control over the phone, and you can start typing the commands.
Please double check what you do, and that you typed correctly - otherwise, as root, you might render your phone useless. Do not attempt if you don't feel confident enough and that you know what you are doing.

I dont know how to mount files from Windows. Someone explains clearly , please
Sorry for being noob. I think this module is awesome but dont know how to use
Got an exec format error when trying to insmod.

[FIX] VPN is working on Simple Streak ROM!

Hello there! After months asking for the developer of Simple Streak Rom for a fix in the VPN connections (and no answer) I have been trying to fix it. Well, I made it! After several days of frustration, I have finally made it work
What do you need:
1. Working VPNServices.apk (I pulled from the PlayDoh ROM, which it is based on 354 ROM which it is supposedly the same of Simple Streak 1.2 Testing V4)
Links:
http://www.multiupload.com/E9RI0XOKCQ
Mirror:
https://sites.google.com/site/ernestovillarreal/home/VpnServices.apk?attredirects=0&d=1
2. Working tun.ko for our devices (thanks gpmg762 for that!)
Link:
http://www.multiupload.com/D3FXAJUC72
Mirror:
https://sites.google.com/site/ernestovillarreal/home/tun.ko?attredirects=0&d=1
3. Need to give special permissions to the VPNServices.apk. In a terminal emulator, or using adb, type:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system
chmod 0644 /system/app/VpnServices.apk
mount -o remount,ro /dev/null /system
sync
reboot
3. Load for the first time the tun.ko. In the same console, type:
Code:
su
insmod /pathofwheretun.kois/tun.ko
4. Edit the init script to load the tun module every boot. Edit this file: "/etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh", adding this line to the last line:
"insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko"
ASSUMING you have the tun.ko in /system/lib/modules folder.
And that's it!
**UPDATE: It works! The problem seems to be my router, in 3G is working fine!!
**UPDATE 2: In my case, it is not working on WiFi. I'll try on other ones in the night.
**UPDATE 3: My bad, problem with the chmod. I have fixed it on the thread
**UPDATE 4: In the Simple Streak 1.3 testing 5, Splida added the tun.ko but he didnt add the VpnServices.apk nor the postboot modification. So, just skip step 2. And it is still not working using WiFi.
WiFi problem probably with dd-wrt router. Will test this night.
#Bump
This is awesome! VPN working on Simple Streak?! Downloading now.
Excited to use my blue tooth mouse with windows remote desktop (2x Client) away from the office and secured tunnel.
::EDIT:: working great on my WiFi!
Ok, so how do we script tun.ko? You could figure out how to run the insmod /data/tunko/tun.ko at every boot -TheManii, I'm looking at you
Or create a shortcut that will run tun.ko on demand and preferably connect the VPN with the same single click.
This is more of DJ_Steve's area of expertise I think, I dont really know much in regards to launching scripts on boot.
I guess you could make a script in /system/etc/init.d or just /system/etc
with
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
I dont see where streakdroid has it's scripts to run it, mabye it's automatic if it's in that folder? If it does in fact still need to be scripted i believe init.d runs with root privs?
Really I'm just guessing
May be you can try scriptmanager run on boot option

Guys, you can put the line "/system/bin/insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko" into /etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh, that loads it for me after a reboot.
Or you can use GScript from market to load it manually.
Hope that helps.

That's right, I figured it out minutes later I posted this post.. but I was lazy to put it here
In my case, I just put on the last line:
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
i'm testing your method now....
here is the result. ..
terminal emulator:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed(Exec format error)
need your expertise. . . .TIA
in init.streak.post_boot.sh
the last line says "esac"
will i put it like this{ esac "insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko"}
or like this:
esac
"insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko"
noob here....thanks again.

[Q] TZDATA problem on WebTop

After some google action, I'm posting my problem here:
Scenary:
Gear: Motorola Atrix 4G AT&T - stock ROM (4.5.91, Android 2.3.4, WebTop version WT-1.2.0-110)
1. run webtop2sd (1.1.2) - OK
2. running web scripts - OK
Then when trying to install for example openoffice.org or trying to do:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
(setting to Europe/Ljubljana - or any other location for that matters)
Current default timezone: 'Europe/Ljubljana/
date: invalid date 'Wed Oct 5 07:06:25 UTC 2011'
This is the reason why packages that update or configure tzdata (tzdata-java) fail with apt-get or synaptic.
What I tried:
probably all locations with reconfiguring tzdata.. fail
manualy edited timezone.. fail
removing&reinstaling tzdata.. epic fail
Anybody else has this issue... solved ?
Same here! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not the right answer, but this works...
I was having the same problem, and after a few hours of struggling, here's what I eventually did.
Edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst and on the first blank line (3 rows down) just put exit 0 which makes the script stop and return a success. This isn't a good solution, but it does work.
Now i can go on my merry way installing things to my hearts content, but I'd love to hear if someone has a proper solution...

thanks a millon man,that totally fixed my problem I was having with my webtop
I took another look at this and has anyone tried adding exit 0 to just after the second to last fi close of the if then part at the bottom, I use dthe workaround posted above and went back looked over it more after having installed a few programs and added exit 0 to line 46 and it seems to be working fine. Can some one confirm this for me if they are looking at it for the first time on their version of webtop.
Hi there, I have a new install webtop2sd, and the script still failed after adding exit 0 at line 46. I have put exit 0 at line 3 afterwards to get past the problem.
I figured out the cause of the 'invalid date' problem. Actually the bug is on the end of the file in the following lines:
Code:
UTdate=$(LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 date -d "$TZBase")
TZdate=$(unset TZ ; LANG=C date -d "$TZBase")
The problem is that webtop uses Busybox instead of the 'original' tools. Busybox has an incomplete implementation of 'date -d'. Replacing it with an alternative like GNU Tools is the best solution for this problem. But this could be complicated and I have not much time. Adapting this script to Busybox is easier and still better than the 'exit' workaround.
All you have to do is replacing the line
Code:
TZBase=$(LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 date)
with
Code:
TZBase=$(LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S)

Snowball Mod

I ran the Snowball Mod without a hitch. I then tried to run the update but it won't run for some reason. The window flashes some text quickly but then closes so I'm not even really sure why it's not working. Anyone run into this or have any ideas. Thanks in advance!
I haven't had the time to try out the snowball mod, yet -- so I can't offer any advice. But, I would post the issue in the development thread, that's where the most help will be.
Swyped from my B&N Nook Tablet.
Try running it from a command line to keep it up and be able to read any text.
Also, there is a log.txt, if you post that, it can be more helpful.
Yeah I was goin to but I don't have enough posts. I was hoping someone would see it here.
Well... if you post your log.txt and start it from a command-line window rather than double clicking the update.bat, then we can take a look at what's up.
Log file says:
Snowball is reporting: v2.0.2
NO PACKAGE AVAILABLE
Command line:
Snowball is reporting: v2.0.2
There does not appear to be a package for the version snowball is reporting.
Are you sure you're not reapplying an update?
Perhaps you are accidentally trying to apply an "outdate"?
Thanks a lot!
There is no v2.0.2 update package in the zip folder. I renamed v2.0.1 to v2.0.2 and ran. Not sure if this was a good thing to do or not. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
No write permissions
Tried to install snowball mod from a macbook pro by just running the snowball.sh. Started up and the B&N stuff was all there, although it looked like it ran without a hitch.
Looked at the log file in the snowball-mod folder and saw a lot of "Read-only file system" business. The first few lines being:
unzip: can't open nook-update-package.zip, nook-update-package.zip.zip, nook-update-package.zip.ZIP^M
rm failed for nook-update-package.zip, Read-only file system^M

Huh... this is weird... /mnt/media should not be read-only... although, I suppose, perhaps if you had it USB mounted, it might end up read-only.
Ensure that you have Automatic USB mounting turned off before you run the script.
You can actually push this update via wifi if you mod the update.bat (or update.sh for linux users) file.
Just turn on ADB Wifi (I prefer adbWireless app) and add the following to your bat file:
Code:
echo Waiting for device...
[B]adb connect XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX[/B]
adb wait-for-device
...
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/update-package.sh ; su -c /data/local/tmp/update-package.sh" >> log.txt
if exist reboot adb reboot
[B]adb connect XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX[/B]
echo INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL
Use your IPort given to you by your ADB Wifi app in place of XXXs. Then just run the .bat!
Run from cmd if you don't want the output to vanish right away.

Anyway, I did the factory reinstall, and reran the snowballmod update. It said the root was still there, so I commented out that check from the snowball.sh, reran the package and everything went swimmingly.
Now, for the update:
The terminal spits out this:

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.MYBE..I need help some plz make a better howtos for dummies m
The first thing you need to do, if you have no clue what you're doing, is post the contents of the log file in the snowballmod folder.
The ".zipte-package-v2.0.2" seems to be related to adb shell "snowball-ver" returning DOS formatted text, even though you're in a *nix. I really did not expect this to happen with the linux and osx versions of adb, but apparently, they perform the same as cygwin... (cygwin I expected, after all, the adb.exe is a windows program). I will fix the update scripts to take that into account.
Code:
unzip: can't set permissions of directory 'nook-update-package': Operation not permitted
This message is reported by unzip when it is run by a non-root user on the /mnt/media partition.
You do _NOT_ have to run snowball-update though if you've installed snowball-mod fresh with the most recent version.

I had the same issue with the name of the update file being called incorrectly: ".zipte-package-v2.0.2". With that output the script is looking for a file of that name and it's not finding it. I just changed the value of the variable ${VERSION} to v2.0.2 (since that was what was being reported by Snowball as my current version) and all worked after that.
Easy to fix temporarily:
-open "update.sh" in a text editor
-go to line 66 and change
VERSION=`awk '//{ print $2 }' snowball.version`
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
VERSION=v2.0.2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or whatever version yours shows to be running (v2.0.1, etc). Something tells me it might be important to input the correct current version number in
-save and close the file and rerun it.
EDIT: or wait until cfoesch fixes the scripts
Scripts should be updated. I changed the awk program from just "//{ print $2 }" to "//{ sub('\r', '', $2); print $2 }" ... this means that it works both ways... *insert your favorite "both ways" joke here*
It should also detect if you haven't turned off automount, and warn you about it. If the nook ends up rebooting, then it would tear the USB mount and could cause file corruption. I got around it by putting things in /data rather than /mnt/media, but then realized, if it has to reboot, then it could cause trouble. So better, to just warn them that automount was on, and quit out.
It also detects better if something went wrong in the installation process, and should report that installation has failed, rather than successful under all cases.
Things may have gotten broken in the process, so keep up the bug reports.
I just can't stop Nookin' Around.........god i need to sleep
I decided to check out the update.sh script (can only go so far currently since I have the latest update).
At least for me, (Ubuntu Linux 11.10) I figured something out about the $OSTYPE call to set the $adb variable. I could echo $OSTYPE in the terminal and got a response, but could not echo it in any scripts. Ended up finding the "uname -o" call and that seems to have gotten it to work, although the printout is different.
snowball-update# echo $OSTYPE
linux-gnu
snowball-update# uname -o
GNU/Linux
Changed lines 7 & 8 and seems to have worked:
case `uname -o` in
GNU*|linux*|Linux*)
Now this last part is probably something on my end but: update.sh: 62: ./adblinux: Permission denied
Thanks again for the work (and everyone else involved in rooting/hacking these things )
Indeed. $OSTYPE seems to be specific to bash, and not all sh implementations.
If you don't mind could you do this command and give me the output? "ls -l /bin/sh" and "sh --version" Those two commands should explain exactly which implementation of sh you have. (For instance, on the NT with snowball-mod, the sh is a minimal implementation, and does not support $OSTYPE. But on most OSes I've seen sh is actually a statically linked bash, as it is the most widely used shell scripting language.)
The case on that you provided though could be a poor choice, as GNU*) would match GNU/freebsd, or GNU/openbsd, or GNU/anykernel. Sure it is unlikely, but it is possible.
The permissions issue is not entirely your end, but it is an expected artifact of extracting from a zip file. Although, is suppose performing a chmod 755 on it prior to use would be a good idea in general.
