All right... I guess it's time to "ask the experts". My linux background has not been very much help here... ARGH!
Okay, I have two script that I have written that are supposed to mount /system as RO and RW respectively. Very simple:
To mount rw:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
To mount ro:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
I manually ran the mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system command and adb pushed them to /system/xbin as mountro and mountrw and chmod both to 755.
In ADB I try to execute:
Code:
/system/xbin/mountrw
and get an error stating:
Code:
/system/xbin/mountrw: not found
I even try:
Code:
/system/bin/sh /system/xbin/mountrw
and I get this error:
Code:
mount: No such file or directory
Okay, so I figured out that it is having a problem trying to find the mount command, so I modify the script to:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
I then re-run this:
Code:
/system/bin/sh /system/xbin/mountrw
and I'm still getting this friggin' error message!
Code:
mount: No such file or directory
When I run it through Script Manager I get the same error:
Code:
mount: No such file or directory
This should just friggin' work damn it! (Sorry, very frustrated.)
Also, it would be nice NOT to have to type the path to the script. I can run ZepplinRox V6_SuperCharger script from the ADB command line just by typing from the directory I have it in:
Code:
sh V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_RC3.2.sh
No absolute path, no ./ path... WTF? ARGH!
Okay, I KNOW this is friggin' possible just by the fact that I can run Zep's script in ADB...
So, any takers? Thanks in advanced...
Friggin' Ciao.
[EDIT]
Okay, I figured out a work around for this... I probably should not work on this after working at work all day... But, that is another story...
I have heavily modified the script files I have created. They are still called mountrw and mountro and the contents are as follows:
mountrw:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# This mounts the /system file system as Read Write in order to modify or add
# files to the /system file system.
busybox mount -o remount,rw / 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,rw rootfs 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system 2>/dev/null
mountro:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# This mounts the /system file system as Read Only which is the default when
# Android is booted.
busybox mount -o remount,ro / 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,ro rootfs 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system 2>/dev/null
So, after poking around in ZepplinRox's V6_SuperCharger script, I found those values repeated several times, so that helped point me in the right direction. The next problem I had was getting the scripts to "run from anywhere". I still haven't figured that one out yet, and the VERY MESSY solution to that is to put the two scripts in /. I know, I know, I know... that is the most dangerous place to put it.
So, when I first log into the ADB shell all I have to type is
Code:
sh mountrw
and when I'm done, type
Code:
sh mountro
So, As the work around, this works. I really don't recommend anyone else doing this because of the data security risks that you open your phone up to... Yes, I'm aware of them and that is why I am asking now for some help in having the ability to run a script globally, from anywhere in the android file structure. I don't mind typing the "sh" in front of the script since I sometimes must do that in linux. I have noticed that the $PATH of Android doesn't allow scripts to be executed unless you type the absolute path to the script, or are in the same directory as the script.
Okay, so again to ask: Is there any way to execute a script without having to type the absolute path to it? Thanks!
Ciao! (MUCH calmer now then when I first wrote this post...)
[/EDIT]
I don't use adb much at all.
Usually I move stuff around with root explorer and use terminal emulator a lot.
I assume you ran everything as superuser as I sometimes forget to type su first
Maybe the sh command work on the supercharger script because it has the .sh extention.
You can try typing "bash mountrw" since that works when I install the script to /system/xbin/V6
But after reading your post I looked and saw I forgot about permissions so I did chmod 755 and now this works...
su
V6
heh..
I don't have tp type "bash V6" anymore

Yes, I ran everything as su. (I'm a linux admin guy, so su and sudo is next to natural for me...)
Okay, so you put the mountrw script in /system/xbin/V6/ ??
Also, it is an sh script. I identify that in the first line of
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
I have changed it to bash and same problem. Oh well. I think I can live with the scripts at /
Thanks though!
Ciao!

Hi,
since a few days I have my first andriod mobile the HTC Hero. I have rooted it and everything works fine.
However, I found several interesting images for the G1 (JesusFreke or CyanogenMOD and so on). I suppose that they will not run on the HTC Hero :-( (yet). Sombody know if there is someone working on it? A google search is not that easy because the most roms are based on the HTC Hero sence and so you can easy find 100 hits with hero but all roms are not for the hero itself.
Does somebody have busybox running on the hero? I searched for a while but found nothing Hero specific. My first try to use a exiting manual for G1 did not work without problems. The most manuals are old and suggest to use a custom rom which include busybox.
Maybe someone has a hint for me
I want to test debian but the istaller use cp and so on. So busybox is a good starting point.
Cheers
Visios
download the attachment (busybox taken from cyanogen's rom), extract busybox and copy it to sdcard, then (if you have root):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

tx for your info and the extracted busybox bin. It worked without any problem.
Do you have tried to use busybox install and export the path ?

Yeah, I could google it but I'll just ask here instead, busybox - what's it good for?
It provides a lot of the standard Linux/Unix utilities - such as cp, rm, df, ls, ps, grep, etc. The toolbox program provided in the HTC ROM is a "crippled" replacement for busybox and doesn't have some of the functionality. For example, Market Enabler doesn't work with the stock ROM because toolbox doesn't provide the grep utility.

Oh, I see. Well explained, sir!
Busybox 1.15.3 for android for anyone interrested:

Does anybody know what version of Busybox is in the original post?
And if I want to upgrade, should I just follow the instructions over again with the newer version?

on a command line on your pc. this is not the right place to start for you, get a guide on how to setup adb on your pc first.
Wow. "abd". That's a new term now isn't it.
Ok. I'll skip it. Just looking to control my Samsung Moment on my PC like I was able to with my WM phones.
I'll keep looking around. Thanks for the help.
I'm not 100% sure this is the right area for this, so feel free to move it and let me know.
I'm trying to make a scripts that mount the system as rw and ro respectively with an echo to the terminal. However, I'm having a problem, when I add the echo part in, the console returns a directory not found error for the mount operation.
For example, my rw file looks like:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo "System mounted as read/write!"
Why should I get an error from this? Is notepad not appropriate for writing the scripts?
As far as I remember, notepad doesn't use the linux style of newline commands. I'd suggest using notepad++ (and set line endings to unix) or try that exactly on the device in gscript. I believe it's reading it all as one line (windows line ending != unix line ending). Hope that helps.

It should be this:
Code:
set /p sdkdir=What is your SDK directory?
cd %sdkdir%
adb wait-for-devices
adb shell su
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo System mounted as read/write
pause
exit

Appreciate the response, but I'm using these scripts from the phone, not in adb. Still, good post.
Suppose I did forget to add the 'su' before trying to remount.
Okay, I got sick of typing
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
or
Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
to mount the /system partition in RW mode so I created two very simple scripts that you can run through Script Manager to Mount RW and Mount RO.
I do quite a bit from ADB and I just found it more convenient to tap a shortcut on my home screen to mount the /system partition.
With the help of imchairmanm, I have fixed the scripts to be available globally, so all you have to do is type "mountrw" (without the quotation marks) to mount the /system partition in Read/Write mode, and type "mountro" (again, without the quotation marks) to mount the /system partition in Read Only mode.
So, now it can be run both ways!
Installation:
1. You must be rooted. (See my HowTo: Root your Motorola Droid X2 tutorial.)
2. You must have Busybox installed. If you are rooted, you have busybox installed. I've tested the scripts on BB 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.19.3.
3. Download the mounts.zip file and extract it to a folder on your SDCard (internal or external, it doesn't matter). I use /mnt/sdcard/Scripts/Mounts/.
3. Download Script Manager from the market.
4. Open the Script Manager app and navigate to the folder you put the mount scripts in.
5. Tap the first mount script (mountro).
6. Tap the star and the Android superuser icon next to it. This configures the script as a favorite and to run the script as root.
7. Tap SAVE.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the second mount script (mountrw)
9. Now you can run each script from within Script Manager, or create shortcuts to them on your home screen.
To create the shortcuts, do the following:
1. Long press a blank area on your home screen and select Widget.
2. In the Choose Widget popup, scroll down to Script Manager Ads (if you have the free version) and tap it.
3. In the list, tap the mountro script. This will place the shortcut on your home screen.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the mountrw script.
Now, when you need to mount /system as RW all you need to do is tap the mountrw script, then when you are done, either reboot, or tap the mountro script.
The following is the code for each of the scripts:
mountro:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# This mounts the /system file system as Read Only which is the default when
# Android is booted.
echo "Mounting /system in Read Only mode!"
busybox mount -o remount,ro / 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,ro rootfs 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system 2>/dev/null
echo "Done!"
mountrw:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# This mounts the /system file system as Read Write in order to modify or add
# files to the /system file system.
echo "Mounting /system in Write mode!"
busybox mount -o remount,rw / 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,rw rootfs 2>/dev/null
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system 2>/dev/null
echo "Done!"
It's simple and no frills... The way I like it.
Alternative install:
I didn't realize it, but, I had already made a flashable zip. Just download mount_rw_ro-V1.1.zip and boot into the BSR and flash it from there.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them! Let me know!
Ciao!
Hm, I was curious since you said you couldn't get your scripts to run globally, so I tried them out by putting them in /system/xbin. After adjusting permissions and making sure owner and group were root, they ran fine and globally as-is. I wonder if the simpler version you started with would have worked or not?

did you run them from /system/xbin? I put them in /system/xbin and then cd / to get back to root and tried to run them. They are not found.
Code:
# cd /system/xbin
cd /system/xbin
# pwd
pwd
/system/xbin
# ls -l mount*
ls -l mount*
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-12-05 13:08 mount -> /system/xbin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-12-05 13:08 mountpoint -> /system/xbin/busybox
-rwxrwxrwx root root 316 2011-11-06 19:04 mountro
-rwxrwxrwx root root 328 2011-11-06 19:04 mountrw
# cd /
cd /
# pwd
pwd
/
# mountro
mountro
mountro: not found
# sh mountro
sh mountro
sh: Can't open mountro
#
That was the problem I was running into. I even tried sh mountro. The error "Can't open mountro" essentially means it can't find it.
If this is what you did, and you had different results, I would love to find out why. Thanks!
Ciao!
Yeah, that's what I meant by they are available globally. I can run them from anywhere in the filesystem. I'm not sure what the difference is. Mine have owner and group set to root and the applicable permissions set as well.
It runs through the script correctly, I get all of the echo messages, and if I cd to system afterwards, everything is rw or ro as it should be. I don't know what other information would be helpful for you, but I'll answer whatever other questions you might have. I don't quite understand why it'd ever have a problem with your scripts in the first place. It seems like a strange thing to happen.
Edit: I just ran through and ran the same commands as you did and they were all successful. It sounds like maybe something isn't right in your $PATH? That's the only thing I can think of. What does it say when you type "echo $PATH"? Either that or something with your terminal emulator or rom? Have you tried a different terminal? It shouldn't matter but you never know.

I dunno what is going on. My path shows /system/xbin. Oh, I'm on Eclipse 1.3 (but that shouldn't matter)... Oh well.
Code:
# echo $PATH
echo $PATH
/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
It happens from the adb shell and from the terminal program on my DX2.
Hm. My $PATH is the same except it also includes /data/local/bin. That shouldn't matter. I'm on eclipse too and running the commands from the terminal in eclipse parts. I don't know why something in the path wouldn't execute. Does "which mountrw" find it? I had a problem earlier where I thought it wasn't finding a script I wrote, but it actually was failing at the first line because I had the wrong path to sh listed. If which finds your scripts I'd say it's more likely something with the script rather than the system. I'd also try writing a little hello world script and seeing if you can get that to execute globally too.

Aw, CRAP! I've run into this problem when I develop on a Windows machine and try to run it on a linux box... ARGH! Thank GOD I use gvim. I was able to change the file format from DOS to UNIX, then save it and push it back out to /system/xbin. chmod'd it to 777 and ran mountrw/mountro and they work now... How can I be so friggin' dense... I know better than that...
Oh, to answer your question on the which command, yes, which finds them both.
What clued me in was you saying that the problem might be with the script. Thanks! It FINALLY works! I've updated the OP with the corrected files.
Also, does anyone want me to make this a flashable zip? Let me know.

Well bud, honestly, it's not even worth all the writing it would take to compile a script for such an easy task via and file explorer that supports root functions. Simply copy n paste all into one folder, mount your /system -r/w and then the good ol multi-select button, copy to clipboard, browse up to /system/media/ringtones or /system/audio (whichever your phone model stores your system sounds/ui crap in), then after pasted to destination folder simply remount -r/o, reboot phone, voila!

Haha, thanks -- that's what I usually do but if it's too complicated it's not worth it.
Open a new text file, and write this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp location1/file.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/file.mp3
cp location2/file2.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/file2.mp3
cp location3/file3.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/file3.mp3
mount -o ro,remount /system
Save it (the extension doesn't matter) and that's it. You can run it using script manager, or the terminal emulator (in this case you need to get root permissions first, using the su command).
Also you can add some messages (to get a nicer script, you know ), this way:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "Mounting /system as RW..."
mount -o rw,remount /system
echo "Copying files..."
cp location1/file.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/file.mp3
cp location2/file2.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/file2.mp3
cp location3/file3.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/file3.mp3
echo "Done. Mounting /system as RO again..."
mount -o ro,remount /system
echo "All done. Have a nice day =)"
Please be careful while using scripts, otherwise you'll brick some devices :silly:

This is exactly what I wanted and it works beautifully! Thank you so much!
If I put script like thisone (classic copy-paste) in /system/etc/init.d, is it possible to configure that runing on ewery boot? And how?
Thanks.
Haven't tried this yet for fear of bricking, can someone help to see it this will work?

mount -o ro,remount /system
Is it possible to do the same but with a folder+ content and not just a file?
Best thought to testing scripts, would be to add an android emulator to your computer. The one I use is nox. Its great for testing scripts and a variety of other things as well. Nox is an android based application, made jjust like a phone. All the features and extensions that your normal everyday android has, this emulator has as well.
Hi,
I've got a Probox2 AndroidTV box on Marshmallow.
I would like to mount a remote NFS share into it's filesystem, so that the share is accessible to all apps (I've disabled mountspace in SuperSU).
I can do this via terminal or SSH using the following 3 lines
Code:
su busybox mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/roms
su busybox chmod 777 /mnt/nfs
su --mount-master -c busybox mount -o rw,nolock,hard,intr,vers=3 -t nfs x.x.x.x:/mnt/Roms /mnt/nfs/roms
This works well and my Apps can find the network shares.
However I would like this be mounted automatically at every boot...
I've tried ScriptManager with this as the script
Code:
#!/system//bin/sh
su busybox mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/roms
su busybox chmod 777 /mnt/nfs
su --mount-master -c busybox mount -o rw,nolock,hard,intr,vers=3 -t nfs x.x.x.x:/mnt/Roms /mnt/nfs/roms
The script doesn't work from script manager or cli. (I know nothing about scripting).
I'm unsure how to go about getting it run/work....
Please could someone explain to me how to get those lines to run after boot or how to fix the script...
Thanks
