[Q] How to "adb remount" vibrant? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i give this command "adb Remount"
it comes up with an error - No such file or directory.
I am in stock 2.2 rooted with Super One click.
I have enabled USB Debugging.
I am not able to install Busybox latest version either.
I did search the forum... one said i will not be able to do it at all on a stock kernel. If thats true, what else can i do?
p.s - I want to fix this issue in adb... I will try root explorer if there is no fix for this.

-try not capitalizing "remount".....ADB is case-sensitive
-kernel shouldnt matter
-what are you trying to remount for, just out of curiousity?
-Why cant you install latest busybox?

I have this problem as well. I think it has to do with the default privlages of the adb service that runs on the phone. For instance, adb shell gives the non-root prompt of $. On other phones I've used an sdb shell gives the root prompt of #. Since a remount requires root privlages, adb remount will not work. The default adb privlage "might" be a kernel mod, or perhaps there's build.prop edit that can help. I never did figure out how to have root privlages via adb by default.
As a work around, you can type "su" once you adb shell into the phone to get root privlages. Make sure that you accept the root permission request on your phone the first time. I also found a remount script that can be put in /system/bin so that once you have root permission via adb shell, doing a remount is pretty simple. If you're interested, I'll try and upload the scipt later.

Yes, can you please upload that, i will try it.
About the other question about why i want to remount - I want to fix that ascending ringtone issue. So i am trying to push phone.apk into system/app folder.
Busybox wont install because when i try it comes up with an error - 'nand not activated or remount failed"

Script is pasted below. Note that this is for voodoo roms. For non-voodoo roms simply replace all occurrences of ext4 with rfs. Create a text file called remount and put it in /system/bin on your phone. Of course since you don't have write permission, you'll have to execute the remount command by hand the first time. The command is: mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
Once "installed" you use it by typing "remount rw" to make the system partition writable, and "remount ro" to make the system partition read only again. I wish I could credit the original author of this script, but I honestly can't remember where I found it. Hope it helps.
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Remount /system partition
case "$1" in
ro)
echo "Setting /system to RO (read only)"
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
echo ""
echo "Current status of /system mount:"
mount |busybox grep "/system ext4"
echo ""
;;
rw)
echo "Setting /system to RW (read write)"
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
echo ""
echo "Current status of /system mount:"
mount |busybox grep "/system ext4"
echo ""
;;

echo ""
echo "Current status of /system mount:"
mount |busybox grep "/system ext4"

*)
echo "Valid input format:"
echo " remount [ro|rw|status]"
echo " ro = read only (default)"
echo " rw = read write (to make modifications)"
echo " status = current mount mode"
echo ""

mount |busybox grep "/system ext4"
echo ""
exit 1
