The app Root Essentials has a feature that does just that. The same creator made an app that does only that.

[Q] How to install a terminal (Debug Tool) in FRX06

Hi!
I have installed the [BUILD] **Complete Froyo Bundle!!** FRX06 - "Stable" - Minor Fixes, but I have no WiFi.
In a previous version was included by default Debugging tool which would allow a terminal to be launched in order to copy the wifi-nvram file from the SD card towards the /data folder.
How to get the Debugging Tool / Terminal in this version ?
Any help welcome !
Thanks,
JM

Unfortunately you can't. Use ConnectBot from the Market.
For the wifi-nvram.txt trick why don't you just use the user.conf file to bind mount it? That way you wouldn't ever have to do it again... Do it once, then never worry about it again...
Thanks !
For ConnectBot, this is a SSH client. how to connect locally: localhost I presume, But which login/password?
For user.conf file, I did not know its existence . have added the "cp /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt" at the end, let's see if this works at next reboot.
Thanks again !

ConnectBot works locally. Instead of SSH, choose "Local"...
Let me know if you need help with the user.conf command. Should work, haven't tried it myself...
Thanks once more.
the user.conf trick did the trick already.
Many thanks !

np. Figured that is the easiest method for fixing this... now you can just leave the file on your SD card and user.conf will always mount it for you .

Boot back to WinMo, edit the froyo.user.conf file (in the 'conf' folder on your SD card, where Android is...)
I like editing these files with Notepad++ but I think Wordpad will handle the enter keys correctly (regular Windows Notepad won't!)
At the bottom, you'll see a "CustomCommands" section. Within the braces ({}) add a line -
Code:
ln -s /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt
Make sure it's on its own line, look at some of the other commands for an example (look at the rm command...)
That's the skinny... hopefully it works! This assumes the wifi-nvram.txt file you created (with your MAC address in it) is at the root of the SD card (look at the command, /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt... if it's in a 'mods' folder which is at the root of the SD, then the path would be /sdcard/mods/wifi-nvram.txt...)

What is this, I don't even...
If you're asking what this fixes, it's for wifi problems. I think someone tried this trick, and it didn't work. You actually have to place the .txt file instead of symlinking.

[Q] Viperbloat doesn't exist

I tried to load the viperbloat mod but every time I run it, it says viperbloat doesn't exist. I tried through cmd and terminal emulator and still same answer and no work. Any suggestions?
Download my update. It 3.1.1 was pushing files to /vendor/bin which now no longer exist on perm root. I updated 3.1.2 to fix this. Enjoy
Hey thanks, but it still is failing to push the viperbloat file. it is saying
failed to copy 'viperbloat' to '/system/bin/viperbloat': Read-only file system
Unable to chmod/system/bin/viperbloat: No such file or directory
This is all that is said when I am running the .bat file. Am I doing something wrong, is my phone messed up? Please help

Oh, I forgot to update that part of the script. Damn, sorry. Just use root explorer to mount rw then run the .bat file.
little bit of a noob, how to do this? sorry

Either use adb if you have it installed and just type adb remount then run the .bat or if you have Root Explorer, open it, tap on /system and then at the top there is a little white button that will say "mount r/w", tap that and then run the .bat file.

Can't you just do "adb remount system" to mount it r/w, then push it?

Read/write file access

Hello
Some of application such as Sygic, Aptoid, Waze and others cannot access to sdcard unless I reboot.
When verffying with Root Explorere I have noticed that the default access to Sdcard is R/O. As soon as I change that to Read/Write every thing goes right.
The problem is R/O keeps come back and apps cannot run until I do modification again.
Anyone can help please as to fix permenantly this issue.
Thanks

There are two ways
1 the easy way is an app from playstore to do that at every boot
Are many can do this
2 the hard way is a script
You can paste it to init.d folder or script manager execute at every boot
Do you have gtab?
And sd card should not have sysrw option
Something wrong with install of rom

Peculiar problem. Will have to do some tests and look at some logs to find out the cause.
1. Can you create or delete files/dirs. on the SDcard, and do these changes persist after a reboot? Or do they vanish--like the changes never happened?
2. What's the output of this command right after a reboot?
Code:
$ [B]mount[/B]

2- After typing this line and enter, the output is : /system/bin/sh:

Thanks fro your reply.
1- May know which app I should use.
2- Sure it looks hard for me to do that.
Yes I do have a Gtab 7.7 with JB.
The rest of the message needs more explaination if possible.

Sd card always alow read/write permission is not part of root
Type mount to terminal and post the result so rajeevvp give you his knowledge

There is no such device as a gTablet 7.7. Is this the tablet you have?
1. Use the standard file manager app and create or delete some files and directories on the SDcard. Reboot the gTablet. Verify that the changes you made remain after the reboot.
2. The $ character is just a prompt, used to indicate that the commands that follow can be executed by any user. Don't type that into the Terminal emulator app. Type in only the stuff shown in bold.
3. Setup adb (see the sticky threads) to make entering commands and collecting logs easier.
4. From now on post the exact error or diagnostic messages that you see. Or, make screenshots and post them.
I am very sorry to post my message here by mistzke.
Anyway I would like to thank all for your help and would like to inform you that the probme had been solved in installing a new tom.
Thanks znd sorry again

Help: Removing system files using adb without root

So basically I'm using Xiaomi's Redmi Note 7 Pro and its camera skips frames when recording video and in one forum ( This one ) , in that forum that guy suggests to delete the thermal configuration file for the camera app which is limiting the camera from functioning smoothly.
So the problem is its in system directory and I really can't afford to root my device right now. I really can't. And while browsing along the internet, I found another forum ( This one ) which says you can remove some system apps without root just using some commands in ADB.
That made me think if theres a command for deleting a file through ADB and I found this forum ( This one ) which gave me this command ( rm /sdcard/0/file_to_delete ) .
I'm really Noob at these things and I want your help.
I used FX File explorer to check if the file exists and I can see it, but cant delete cos its read only and my device is not rooted. The file is in /vendor/etc/thermal-engine-camera.conf (or) system/vendor/etc/thermal-engine-camera.conf . I dont know if i should include the /system/ before /vendor/ or not, im nub.
So please tell me whats the proper command with the directory or if it wont work. I really want to get rid of that config file which is messing up the videos im recording and i really cant root Thank you

why? I mean theres a way people removed system apps without root using adb commands, so why not a config file?

Wondering why then you don't do how that people did?
FYI: Both the /system and the /vendor partition is READ-ONLY.
