I'm using Root Explorer.
Everything I select the systems directory and check the "write" boxes and press okay, nothing happens. I still can't transfer files in there. I'm trying to change the bootup and startup audio sounds in the system folder.
And while im in the systems folder, I try to press "Mount R/W" and nothing happens. The toggle works when I'm in the / directory though, just not in the /system/.
Also, I'm trying to flash the new version of the MTM keyboard. I launch CWM through Rom Manager, and try to flash the zip file, but it says installation aborted. But I go to "advanced" and select "Fix Permissions," and try again, it installs successfully. But when I reboot my phone, my keyboard stays the same as the old one and the new version is no where to be found.
Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Oops, accidentally posted this in the Themes and Apps directory, my fault.
"mount r/w to mount r/o"...the button on the top.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've tried that, it doesn't work.
When I press "Mount R/W," nothing happens.
I hear the toggle, but the "Mount R/W" stays as "Mount R/W"
weirdly enough, when I'm in the / folder, the "Mount R/W" toggles to "Mount R/O", but not when I'm in /system/
It's weird, actually any other directory other than /system/ can be mounted as r/w, just not /system/..
i had the same problem... try eugenes ADB push FIX on it...
this worked for me... also if you are running the SuperC voodoo recovery screen ( RED ) try turning debug on... that worked for me
"We had are First Sleepless Night with the New baby Boy.... Between Trying Figure out what was Wrong & taking turns with the Wife Holding Aries, I tried Pushing File's & forgot adb push didn't work...
Now this Script originally is what I made for the Behold 2, but the Basic still works For the SGV..
Just mod the script if your using the userinit.sh
Using this script you can place the userinit.sh any place you would Like...
I hope ever gets Good use out of this & Please Enjoy!

Quoted from eugene's post-- hope this helps..."
this happened to me with root explorer
first are you selecting the mount r/w option on top of the root explorer
if answer is yes then you have the mounting issue on 2.2 roms follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846384
it fixed the problem for me, just be sure to select the correct zip i choose the wrong one first and my ext sd was shown as a cd, then reflashed the second one and it was solved. just flash with CMR
if this helped you please hit the thanks bottom
Try super manager its free and does the same thing. I had a problem with root explorer a while back. Eventually it worked fine again.

another easy way to do it is to just mount system as rw through adb.
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
i have to do it every time i push new ringones/alerts to /system/media/audio
I was having same problem and fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling root explorer. That did the trick for me.
I just rooted and installed Streakmod with the MultirecoveryFlasher.
Since the StockROM is overwriting my StreakMOD ROM everytime I reboot I'd like to rename the install-recovery.sh file.
So I installed root explorer, went to the file, and selected rename.
Yet I get "WARNING install-recovery.sh cannot be renamed becuase the file system is read-only."
I got root access according to "root checker" and "superuser".
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

In Root Explorer, above your list of folders on the left-hand side, you will see a small, grey button with Mount RO (Read Only) on it. Tap the button to change to Mount RW (Read/Write). This will allow you to edit files.

So I'm trying to test out the OC Kernel for UD, downloaded the 1.5.1 Kernel tbz2 file, moved it to my Archos, but when I tried to move it to my /data/urukupdate I find that it is missing (the whole urukupdate dir is just not there). My /data is completely empty. Any ideas on how this could have been wiped out and how to restore it without having to wipe and reload everything?
If you have an empty /data directory, you bootet into the wrond android.
You booted into std Android and there you have no root, therefore you can't see anything.
Boot into Developer Edition.
You have to enable root explorer in the filexpert settings and the data folder is the one on the root and not on the storage.
EDIT : To enable root explorer in filexpert:
-Press menu key then press more
-Press settings and go to File Explorer settings
-Scroll down and check "Root Explorer" accept the root acces and you're done
Sorry for my bad english
@ fzelle Actually I uninstalled the android OS, so that I can only boot into UD.
@ Starman this worked! Thanks for your help. I usually use ES file explorer or Astro and I've never had to grant SU access manually before so hadn't thought to look. Thanks!
So i edited the android info.txt file in PH198. Now when I try to boot my phone into bootloader, it comes up with a screen saying volume up for update, volume down for no update, and then I just have to power off. Any suggestions?
Edit: Sorry if I was unclear, but when I update, my phone gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
Edit: I got it working thanks for the advice guys

Umm it's supposed to do that to load the kernel. Then you boot up to your rom and first thing delete that file off the SD card
Just boot up Rom like normal then delete using a file explorer like es file or root explorer. If it won't reboot to your rom, then pull battery remove sd card and boot . Once your booted up then reinstall SD card and delete the ph file.

What are you flashing? There's a lot of renaming things to the PHzip file name.
Actually, in any case, if you are being asked for update you should press volume up to select update, then if it says to press the power button that should be your "yes" answer to allow it to proceed. I think it says that.
Then once it is done reboot the phone if it didn't do it already and, as mjh68 mentioned above, use a file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer to delete that PHzip file. Then you should be good to go. Or you can then connect to your pc and delete the file that way, or power down and take the card out and put it in the pc and delete the file. If you don't delete that file then every time you boot up your phone it will go to flash it again.

I am flashing CleanRom 2.3 except with the nonstandard kernel. I will try removing the microsd and putting back the standard kernel then updating again. Thanks
EDIT: When I boot my phone it goes straight to the update screen not to the bootloader. Is there any way to boot the phone into recovery with my computer?
If you have a backup, and have adb just type adb reboot recovery to restore or wipe and flash a new Rom. Make sure the Rom matches the kernel

For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit
is this like being s-off, without being actually s-off
Not entirely, you will be able to make changes to system files while booted but you won't be able to flash fastboot zips like s-off
Or you could flash this kernel.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705074

that will only work to repair writing to SD CARD. This fix is for writing to the system.
Personally... If you can get s off.. I would do so. Makes life easier in the long run.

First off, please don't quote the whole top post when its a long guide like this. I know its the default to quote the post when you reply. So just delete it, before you submit your post. We don't need the thread cluttered up with multiple reposts of what is already in the top post.
The mod makes very specific changes to the kernel, so I would say there is most likely no way in heck this will work on an M7, and might even damage it.

Ok... Sorry and thanks
HTC M8 and rw fix
Still unable to get this to work,I followed your detailed instructions and wp_mod.ko is in correct directory with correct permission and install-recovery.sh is modified correctly.
However after final rebott (several in fact) /system is still r/o
I took a TRWP backup before I started so I restored and followed your instructions again , still same result, should this work immediately or will it take several reboots before it is operative? Other discussions on this and other sites indicate the latter.

Whichever Sense file corresponds to your Android build in Settings>About>Software.
If you are on the stock ROM, I'm guessing 4.4.2, since I do not believe 4.4.3 has rolled out to T-Mobile yet.
As usual, I would make a nandroid before flashing anything.
