Hi,
I have just installed wolfs 2.3 with hotfix and am having trouble with adb commands
I have tried pushing files to /data/data and I get this error
Code:
failed to copy 'name of file here' to 'path here' : Permission denied
However, if i boot into recovery and manually mount data it works.
My question is
what is the code to mount the data partition from adb?
I know
Code:
adb remount
mounts the system partition but i need the data partition mounted.
I have never ran into this before, all my adb commands worked whilst the phone was turned on...
any help please.
More issues
Code:
adb remount
does not work....permission denied
Also, using apk manager I cannot push sytem files to /system/app
This is quite irritating
The correct command is:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
works for me.

I want to copy into the MoDaCo's ROM 2.8 the original files from system/media/bootscreen so I can have the original with sound
The only problem is that I tried to mount the /system folder and it says "mount: cannot read /etc/fstab : No such file or directory".
The progress flashing my phone went just fine but this command does not work.
Is there a way to FIX and make the /system/media/bootscreen folder to have read/write permitions ?
EDIT : Figured it out
I opened cmd and went to C:\SDK\tools
Then in cmd i wrote:
"adb shell"
"mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
"adb push boot.gif /system/media/bootscreen"
"adb push boot2.gif /system/media/bootscreen"
"adb push boot_bg.gif /system/media/bootscreen"
"adb push boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen"
"adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media/bootscreen"
Of course if you want to do the same just remove the " " from the commands
Download the original bootscreen files from here and put them into the SDK/tools folder.
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
does the trick, no need to specify filesystem or device, as it is already mounted. when you are done you should do a
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system
to have it mounted ro again. btw, you only need to exchange boot_animation.xml, the sound is still there, it is just deactivated. and you could have used the update.zip that paul made for this purpose, it is in the first post of his thread... but this way you learned something, so even better
Now gonna try to make a windows vista boot sound and post the result
Has somebody made it already ?
Hi,
I succeeded at installing the recovery image using flashrec and making the nandroid backup. Now I'm trying to go to the next step of the rooting tutorial for noobs: MODIFYING THE CODE TO GET ROOT ACCESSS
This is my cmd (administrator rights) in Fastboot USB Mode:
Code:
c:\sdk\tools>fastboot devices
HT**KL****** fastboot
c:\sdk\tools>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
This is my cmd (administrator rights) in "normal mode":
Code:
c:\sdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT**KL****** device
c:\sdk\tools>adb shell mount /system

c:\sdk\tools>adb push su /system/bin/

I am running Windows 7 (x64), I downloaded the latest adb tools and usb drivers using SDK Setup.exe. I installed the ADB drivers properly (using the manual wizard to browse to the usb_driver folder and restarting my computer) for the fastboot USB and for "normal mode" with the option debugging usb active.

I couldn't find anything by google that solved the problem... I hope you guys can help me out..
First and foremost, please post questions like this in the Q&A, or GENERAL section next time. This part will be moved for you though.
Ok,... I think your making this more difficult than need be. I haven't looked at the link you provided as my phone is playing up..
Take a look at BTDAGs guide linked in my signature... If you have already successfully installed the custom recovery, all you need to do now is pick a custom ROM to download and flash using the recovery.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
That is quite an old guide you're following. Try mine, or the one here http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=2028 or there is universal androot - which will just give you root access on any rom.
you should use this to mount system in read/write-mode:
Code:
# mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
alternatively put adb shell in front of:
Code:
>adb shell mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And by the way, you should do this from recovery mode (which is accessed by keeping home-button pressed down while turning on. I assume that you have a custom recovery)
Moved to Q&A as not development
Managed to put the recovery rom on it, thanks!
sorry to post it this late. can you pls explain how you resolve? if its available in some other thread, can someone guide me there. have been doing search on the forum for a while now. thanks!
Hello all,
I am trying to push a file to my system, however I do not seem to be able to mount my system partition.
When I try to execute the following command, I always get the error "Operation not permitted" :
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
My phone is rooted and my USB debugging is on !!
Anyone no what could cause this. It has always worked when I was still on 1.6 (rooted) and now it doesn't allow me access.
When I use Rootexplorer, I have R/W access, so root works.
Anyone has any tips or advise ?
Try...
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
Tried that, and get permission denied
Should have added, make sure your screens on on the phone and allow SuperUser access when you type su.
never mind, one sec
So I'm totally unable to do anything to my /system in CWM via ADB.
Code:
> adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
> adb push item.apk /system/app/item.apk
Failed: Permission denied
adb shell
$: su
Segmentation fault
$: rootsh
~# mount /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 on /system failed: Device or resource busy
~# su
# mount /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 on /system failed: Device or resource busy
# mount /system/app
can't find /system/app in /etc/fstab/
Pressing "unmount /system" in CWM results in "Error unmounting /system!" message. I tried pressing "Fix Permissions" but it didn't help. The only thing it did was that "su" results in "Segmentation fault" instead of "Permission denied". I just flashed my Lite'nin ROM again but it didn't fix anything.
I do have root access in normal OS so I can probably do some stuff in terminal emulator. But why is /system busy all the time?
try this:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Thanks. That apparently mounted the /system but adb was still unable to push the files there. Maybe that is because "su" is still not working, only "rootsh". So I moved the file to my sdcard and then moved it to /system in shell.

since you are using a Secured Kernel(probably the CF-Root with CWM), you have to push the files to /sdcard
and then copy the files from the sdcard to the /system directory.
you can only push files with adb directly to the /system directory, when you are using an insecured kernel.

Oh. Thanks for the info, that cleared things up! I thought you only need to have a custom recovery in order to push with adb but apparently it's about the kernel.

Hi guys.
I was editing the vold.fstab file using root explorer. When i restarted my phone i got a message "Unfortunately Usb connectivity has stopped working." when i open settings i got message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working". I still have my original vold.fstab file left in my sd card but sd card is not working too. I have an Xperia M rooted and unlocked bootloader Please help.
Please tell me if there is a way to reset everything and reinstall the firmware.
Thanks.

You could try to use adb to restore the original vold.fstab to your /system/etc/ folder if your usb debugging is still working:
Code:
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /system/etc/vold.fstab
exit
adb reboot
If it doesn't work try an other way:
Code:
adb push vold.fstab /data/local/tmp/vold.fstab
adb shell
su
mv /data/local/tmp/vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
chmod 755 /system/etc/vold.fstab
exit
adb reboot
If any of these ways doesn't work and you have a cwm recovery try to give these commands while you are booted to recovery.
You could also make a flashable zip and you flash it from recovery.
**If you double mounted your sdcard may be corruped and you have to use a partition manager to recreate the partition of your sdcard on PC**
Thanks for the reply.
Well the usb debugging is still working. So i tried the both adb push command, it says "cannot stat 'vold.fstab': no such file or directory" . EDIT: Tried it again, says "failed to copy vold.fstab to '/system/etc/vold.fstab': Read only file system.
I also tried that chmod command but doesn't works, says "cannot chmod system/etc/vold.fstab: Read only file system.".
And about that cwm, i can't get into cwm recovery. I tried all that vol up and down things. I tried using sd card with a card reader, it works fine. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

To apply these changes to system partition you have to make your system partition rewritable.Try to make it rw from Root Explorer or try some adb command:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
If this doesn't work try something like:
mount -o remount,rw -t {your partition type} /dev/block/{your partition name and number} /system
* To see your partition table give the command cat proc/mtd or cat /proc/emmc *
Example:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
Then try to push the file in the system (Give the "exit" command to quit the shell before try to push the file).

Okay here's what i did.
I pushed the vold.fstab that i backed up before editing. After that i copied the vold.fstab into /system/etc in R/W Mode.
Then i restarted my phone, and finally everything worked fine.
Thanks for the help mate. You've been big help to me. I couldn't have done it without you.
hello i have a problem similar to this.i edit my vold.fstab file on my emdoor em63 tablet and when i rebooted the sdcard didnt work i was switching the internal to external, I tried to push the file with adb but it says device not found adb works fine for everything else but not for my sdcard i can remount, mount, reboot, but i cant push or pull and on the table when i got to settings/apps or settings/storage force close on me what can i do?
