When i install Music.apk it always fails. I tried copying it to the /system/apps using Root Explorer but it doesnt shows up.
it may require flashing...i am not sure.
Did you try installing from the sdcard? Click on the apk file and the Root Explorer should ask if you want to install the file. I have had some installs work that way and some not work. I am a beginner also, sorry if this doesn't work.
First, mount /system as rw from root explorer (there's a button in top right corner). Then copy and paste the file to /system/app. Now, tap and hold on the pasted file and select permissions. Change the permissions to: User-read,write Group-read Others-read. Then mount /system as ro using the same button in top right corner and reboot the phone.

I have Root Explorer installed and it says that it has root access and that the mount is read/write yet I am unable to permanently delete or add files to the root/system directory.
I was hoping to replace the current system/media/video/shutdown directory with one of my own and add a bootanimation.zip file to system/media but although the delete/copy/move commands execute without error, no changes actually occur.
I'm so frustrated and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I had the same problem...ended up downloading su file manager. Works perfectly for deleting stubborn system apps.

Have you tried pressing the Mount R/O button on the top right corner and then trying again?
I try to delete some ringtones from my folder
system/media/audio/ringtones
I connect via local console (IRSSbot) and I cant "rm" remove mp3s due to permissions.
I am logged in as superuser with "su" still getting
"Read-only file system".
How can I make the file system writeable?
no solutions? I have a corrupted file needed to be deleted, tried many ways..
Try using Root Explorer, navigate to the directory, mount as r/w (button at top), delete, then hit the r/o button. There's a much longer command-line version, but if you don't figure it out from the above, this is easier and fool-proof.
Just being su doesn't override a read-only filesystem.

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.

Am trying to fix the ES File Explorer Root access issues by following the steps posted by Joker Fuel in one of the TP forum.
I cant get to delete the current apk under /system/app using any of the File Explorers. How do i get this file deleted ? Any help.
This is what am trying to accomplish:
OK guys, for u guys that are having issues Using ES File Explorer Root permission.
The Root does not work while the app is in /system/app.
so to get it working, u must delete the com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk
couple ways to do it. u can download a free file explorer off the market and delete the file under /system/app
---------------------------------
reboot your new BUTTAH
download ES from the market
If I am understanding what you want to do correctly you need to remount /system as read/write so you can remove the file.
There are many ways to do this. I like to use RomToolbox, available on the market. Once installed you can open up "Scripter" and there will be a couple of pre-defined scripts, one to remote System is Read/Write.
After you run that script you can jump to the Root browser, one button above, and delete what you need from the /system/app directory.
Remember to remount your /system as Read-Only using the other script, or reboot when your done. It is a bit dangerous to leave it as Read/Write. Better safe than sorry
Thanks. gonna give it a try !
Titanium Backup works on Buttah. Downloaded through market. Then I was able to pull ES through that. Then re-install through market. Now root access and mountable system.
I rooted my s2 and installed resurrection remix 1.8. I can run apps that request root but when I try to copy a file to the root of the phone I get this message
Copy error
lib core.io.errnoexception
Open failed:EROFS (read only file system)
Does anyone know how I can gain full root?
You need to mount the filesystem r/w with whatever file manager app (Root Explorer, etc, or an app like Remount).
What are you using to copy the app over?
Are you using root explorer?

Depends on what file manager you're using. As an example tho, in Root Explorer, if I say wanted to copy the Polaris Office lib files over to system/lib in order for it to work properly I'd do the following:-
*Fire up Root Explorer & click the little R/W-R/O toggle at the top to mount R/W.
*Navigate to where I have a copy of the Polaris lib files (in my case I have a Roms Modems Etc folder on my external SD card).
*Go into Root Explorer menu & tap 'multi select' because there's two files to copy, then click each file so there's a tick beside each indicating they're the files that are to be copied.
*Then click 'copy'.
*Then navigate to system/lib where I want to paste the files. And click the R/W-R/O toggle again to mount R/W.
*Click paste & the files are copied over. Click R/W-R/O toggle again to mount filesystem back to R/O.
*Navigate back to root folder & click R/W-R/O toggle to mount root back to R/O.
Done.
Is this what you were after ?
Edit to add - You can also get Remount from Google Play which enables you to mount different parts of the filesystem R/W or R/O.
Yeah that's great, many thanks. Just tried it & it works perfectly using root exp pro
