1) How do I remove hard linked files on the X10 Android file system? I also need to identify them with the "ls" command, but it doesn't work the same as linux by listing the count in the ls listing of hard links to a specific file. The reason is, when I try to move a file in /system/app, it tells me it failed due to cross-device link - likely because the OS knows the link will fail if I move the file to my /sdcard directory. I want to remove the hard-link.
2) Is there a listing of all the options available to the commands in the /system/bin directory? It seems the ls command, for example, is a stripped down version of the ls that comes with linux.
Thanks.
what method are you using to move the files in system/app? you should be able to move them using root explorer, or copy out using dd if= of= statements then rm, the xperia system does not seem to like cp and mv commands
I'm using:
Code:
mv /system/app/Facebook.apk /sdcard/backup/system/app
...it fails. A dd works, because it just does a block copy and doesn't move the file. I'll try moving it with Root Explorer.
I'd prefer an actual command instead of using an app on the phone, as I've connected the phone to my PC with the USB cable and using adb.exe.
FYI, I tried Root Explorer, for some reason it can move the file just fine! My phone is rooted and I'm running the adb shell with super-user access.
use this:
busybox ls -l
busybox cp
busybox mv
Or even better, use "busybox --install /system/bin" and let it install all the symlinks for you

Thanks for the tip, you've just explained what busybox is. I always wondered why Titanium Backup wanted Busybox for it to run properly. I'll try these commands out.
UPDATE: Nice, I get VI as well! I was wanting that. I got fedup editing a file on the PC and pushing it back to the phone. Thanks.
Hi, I rooted my Vribrant, both ways (manually and with one click root). I installed terminal emulator. I tried the su command to check if I am root. The # appears normally. However I tried deleting a file with Root explorer, inside the system folder, and when I get back it's still there. I also tried deleting it manually from Terminal EMulator with these commands:
su
cd system/apps
rm Swype.apk
and I get this:
rm failed for Swype.apk, Read-only file system
I also tried:
su rm Swype.apk
and this is returned:
Permission denied.....
I also tried the exact same thing from adb shell (which I had to allow in superuser permissions program), but it gave me the exact same results. What's wrong? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
In root explorer, try hitting the r/w button at the top and see if that works.

I know about the button. The strange thing is that inside system folder it grands me r/w permissions, and no matter how many times a press the r/o button it doesn't change. Still gives the results I said. However, besides root Explorer what's wrong with terminal emulator and adb?
I'm not 100% sure how to mount as root in adb. I wish I knew myself heh.
Did any of those root methods install the superuser app?

I tried the first method but it didn't work. When I entered adb root, it said "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". I searched a bit and found that I must have a rooted kernel for this to work. (I guess it's different from the root method I tried in "how to root vibrant").
Anyway the second way worked, where i replaced mntblock3 with stl9 for my phone. I tried the rm command and it worked! However as soon as I exited terminal, I couldn't delete other files. I had to retype the command. I can't do this everytime I need access in System folder. Why is this happenning? Does this have something to do with the fact that root explorer cannot change r/w to r/o mode while in system folder?
what if you open Superuser
Click on Root Explorer.
Click on Forget.
Open Root Explorer and grant Root Access and check to remember it.
work now?
Moved to Q&A, please post in the correct section.

No it didn't work. I also installed the latest version of SuperUser 2.3.6.1. But without a difference unfortunately.
What works for me, is installing sgs tools, and whenever I want to do write operations on system folder, run the appropriate script from sgs and then use root explorer......
Although I think there's something wrong? Why doesn't the mount r/w button work in root explorer, and why do I have to remount the file system through SGS tools, every time for it to work?
makes no sense to me either. Have you uninstalled RE and the installed it back granting root once reinstalled?
Yes several times.....
I am giving up. I just have to go through the whole process every time. I found some other people having this issue. I am on stock JI6 firmware. Maybe when I read a little bit more I will flash a custom rom.
Download and install Super Manager. Pretty handy program to use for Root users.
I'm not sure what the issue is,but mine does it too. I'm running the "unofficial" froyo JK2 build,flashed via ODIN,and I'm having the same issues. root works,root file explorer is stuck in rw,won't let me switch to ro,and it can't do anything to files in / or /system. manually remounting it from terminal or sgs tools works.

At least I am not the only one with this problem.... haha
I forgot to mention that I use Root Explorer version 2.12.2
When I try a custom Rom I will post the results....
^ why not get the update, .4 is the most recent build. Do you have an illegal copy?
It's not only root explorer. It happens with other file explorers too like android mate and super manager... Inside system folder whatever, I do doesn't happen unless I unmount and remount like before
I finally got my NookColor to sideload apps via ADB. The first thing I did was install Root Explorer and I rebooted the NC.
However, using Root Explorer, I do not have access to the cache or data directories. The response that I get is "Mounted as r/o" and "Your phone doesn't appear to be rooted. ..."
Did I miss something in the process and I'm not really rooted?
Also, I've noticed that the command adb remount gives back an error message as well.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Assuming that you've already install the SuperUser apk
You need to push the su file into /data/local
use the following ADB commands:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/
Then
Code:
adb shell
# cd /system/bin
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
# cat /data/local/su > su
# chmod 6755 su
# ls -l su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2010-12-01 10:27 su
Use the su file from the attachment in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665974
Thank you, Sapienta.
I noticed the Superuser comes down as a zip and the instructions say to boot into recovery mode and flash ... does that translate to renaming the zip to apk and installing via adb (as I've done with other apps)? Or do I need to figure out how to do the recovery boot/flash?
Ya sorry about that. I should've been more clear. Ignore everything from that page just download the attachment. You need to push the "su" file into /data/local and then chmod it to 6755 per the instructions from the first link I post and you're good to go.
EDIT NVM, I got it
Well, actually, you were quite clear the first time, I had just forgotten about the first link. But now, when I try to install the file (after renaming the zip to apk) via ADB I get an error message that says file does not contain AndroidManifest.xml. But I know the file is there ... I can see it when I view it with 7Zip. So, I guess I'm being dense today, but what am I missing?

Inside of the zip file there should be two files, a file called "su" without an extension and the Superuser.apk.
You'll want to push the su (the file is actually a raw binary) to your NC using the steps provided. You'll also want to install the Superuser.apk after pushing the su binary.
Thank you, antoniouslj. Yesterday I installed SU first and then pushed su but Root Explorer kept erroring out. So just to be sure I'm clear, the steps would be done in this order:
1. Push su -->
adb push su /data/local/
2. Change permissions -->
adb shell
# cd /system/bin
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
# cat /data/local/su > su
# chmod 6755 su
# ls -l su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2010-12-01 10:27 su
3. Install Superuser
Then do I adb Root Explorer or should Root Explorer be installed before I do the steps above?

That's exactly what I did and it worked great for me. I also had Root Explorer installed prior to installing SU.
Still Struggling!
So ... I still can't get this to work. Do I need to install an alternative launcher (like ADW) first and then do this process?

No... what part of the process are you getting stuck on?
I do the three steps like we talked about earlier (and exactly in that order--except I exit out of the shell before I issue the adb install superuser.apk command) and I reboot the Nook. Turn the Nook back on and open Root Explorer, but then RE tells me that there are issues with Superuser and to close RE and restart the RE app. So I do. But it repeats the same process. (I've removed everything so I don't remember the exact language. When I open SU there is no way for me to add an app (that I know of anyway) including looking at the settings. So that's where I'm stuck. And if I can't get root access, then apps like SetCPU and Quickboot won't run successfully.

Grab another version of RE. I'm finding that version matters when trying to sideload apps.
EUREKA!!!
Thanks to everyone for your help! I finally figured it out. Just as I was about to take the last suggestion of finding and downloading another version of RE, I found and downloaded another version of Superuser (version 4). The new SU version extracts from the zip differently but I was finally able to push and modify per the earlier instructions, installed the new SU version, rebooted, started RE, added it to the SU Whitelist and BAM Root Explorer is working just as I expected it to. SetCPU and Quickboot also seems to be working.
Once again, thank you! You were all GREAT!!!

Nevermind...I got mine going, too.
I'm trying to push files to /system via ADB. However I'm having problems (getting permission errors). I am running Eclipse 2.0.2, so yes, my phone is rooted, I have su and busybox.
Phone is connected to PC and is set as "USB Mass Storage".
USB Debugging is ON
Here is my CMD log:
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
I tried to remount and it failed
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
failed to copy 'C:\myfile.apk' to
'/system/myfile.apk': Read-only file system
I tried to push, and got a READ-ONLY FILE SYSTEM error (keep this in mind)
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb shell
$ adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb: permission denied
I try to push inside of ADB shell. Nothing again...
Code:
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# exit
exit
I go into SU and attempt to remount the /system
Code:
$ adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
adb: permission denied
$ exit
exit
I go back up to ADB shell and try to push again... same error as before
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb push C:\myfile.apk /system
failed to copy 'C:\myfile.apk' to '/system/myfile.apk': Permission denied
I go back to the main command line and try to push again. This time I get PERMISSION DENIED. This error is different than before.
Any help on the matter?
I've read about ro.secure needing to be set to 1, but I need to edit the boot.img in order to do this, correct? Does that require an unlocked bootloader? Is root ADB even possible on the DX2.
Thanks!
I am no expert (don't even know if i know enough to b called a newb) but maybe try a root explorer. I use es file explorer because it's free. In settings check root explorer and mount file system. I received similar errors and this solved my problem.

Make sure there are no spaces in the file path to your android-sdk folder. Can't say if this is your issue but its worth a shot as it has always caused weird problems with android development since day one.

Ro.secure is in your local.prop on the root of your phone. As far as your issue you have to reset permissions in order to push to /system. I saw that you were trying to do that but with no success. I believe I know what will help but I will have to find it and repost.

Ok look at the command lines at the bottom of the op. You are going to use adb shell. Follow that almost exactly but adjust according to your directories. Should go into adb shell, gain su permissions, mount /system rw, push your apk, then don't worry about remounting as ro, just reboot. Pay close attention to spaces.

Took me a few days to be able to getting around to trying this, but it didn't work :/ I'm still getting all of the same errors. The /system just doesn't seem to want to mount as RW (even though it is possible when using root explorer).
As for ro.secure in my local.prop, I'm able to edit this but it resets on reboot because (from what I've read) this is a file generated by the kernel
Anyone else have ideas?

Thanks for that! It's not quite what I'm aiming to eventually do, but did give me more insight on how the whole adb/shell/su systems work. From inside of su, I was able to mount the /system as RW, however I'm only able to do this from inside of SU. I want to be able to do this from the initial CMD so that I can ADB PUSH from my computer to the phone.

So now the question is, how do I mount as R/W so I can use ADB push?

Maybe its because im tired but im confused as to why it wont let you push your files if you have remounted as rw. At that point it should be cake. You gained access to system by remounting it as rw successfully already.

Try:
Code:

the "adb remount" remounts the fs RW instead of the default RO.
I'm no expert in ADB, but I had run into the same issue as you and for me the fix was to go into ADB SHELL , then type SU to get SU access, then type exit twice to get out of shell completely. Then I tried pushing the APK and it worked fine with no read only errors.
This worked for me on my SGS2, could work for you ! Goodluck !

Do this
Sbf to 2.3.4
(or 2.3.3& take one ota To get to 2.3.4...however you want to do it..just be bone stock 2.3.4 )
Root your device.
BUT DO NOT USE ZERGRUSH TO ROOT
Use petes Motorola one click root method.
Then continue the process as normal from there on out.
Trust me in this. Zergrush root method is not playing nice with your /system partition, (if you notice during the root process it might say something like "making room in system,"= or "moving/deleting app to make room" something similar)
And when it does that, it's messing up how the update checks for untouched stock apps.
Let me know how it goes.
This solution has worked for COUNTLESS others so far, zergrush has always been the culprit when it comes to failing to find certain apk or system file that needs to be there for the update to install.

This won't work with Eclipse since it's not using 2nd init. I asked this question in the Eclipse forums and Nitro responded with the following:
Not without using 2nd init. All of that works due to being able to load its own init.rc which starts services and passes parameters, etc.. during boot time. It is possible to make a stock rom use 2nd init. CM9 will not even have root enabled by default. The only other way to push stuff is to enable root shell prior to pushing.

I know that CM7 allows using the adb remount, but that's because it's using 2nd init. I had also asked the question about why CM7 defaults to root shell when you adb shell into it and that's why he mentions how CM9 won't have root enabled by default.
The way I push to Eclipse is to run root explorer on my phone and mount the directory r/w. Then, I can use "adb push" to the phone.

I think I may have tried that in one of my iterations. Originally I had it rooted with One-Click and then I was having issues with the 2.3.5 OTA update (quickoffice.apk) and at this point I've SBF'ed and rooted it probably 5 times this week so far. Rooted with both One-click and zergRush at various times. Actually I think every time except this last time has been with one-click. So I don't think that has seemed to make a difference for me so far. I can try it again, but if there's any other advice to throw out in the mean time, I'll take it.
Alternatively, I may take the new phone (the first replacement they sent had 2.3.5 on it, but a bad menu key causing the phone to flip out), load Titanium Backup on it, backup all the system apps and restore them to my original phone. Worst case is I have to SBF it again. But that seems like a logical process since I will have two phones available.
Hello everyone, I made the root using the "all in one" by condi.
the root is fine except that when I use the 'app' root app delete "to delete the files of sony, tells me that I need root permissions.
the version of Android 4.0.3 is R5A.
can someone help me? thanks
----------EDIT---------
with titanium backup I found out where they are system applications
/ locale / vendor / app. I tried to move "crash bandicoot" in / local / system / app and it says it is a read-only file so I can not uninstall it.
suggestions?

I used adb shell
mount: operation not permitted
Check your tablet screen after entering the su command, there should be a window asking you to grant root access. Give root access and you should be able to continue with the remount command.
