Thanks in advance

There are problems with the AIO for Electrify running 2.3.5. The "Photon Torpedo" method should work, though. (If you're comfortable with ADB shell, I would recommend using that instead of a terminal emulator on your phone.)

Wow just a newb. that looks pretty complex. May need to wait it out unless someone else can suggest something more my cup of tea.
thank you for you response. I may end up trying it.

[Q] Root help - "Read only file system"

Hi, any help with this one? I get as far as being able to push su and busy box but get "failed, read file system only" or "directory doesn't exist" Thanks in advance!
model PMID700
Android version 2.3.1
kernel version 2.6.32.27
build number 20110918.170336
Firmware version 2.2
I also have this tablet. The issue is the file system is cramfs which is read only so we can't move files to any /system folder. This is where every current one click root tool is failing.
On the positive side it appears we have shell root.
This is the output from doomlord's v3 root script:
Code:
...

/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Read-only file system
--- correcting ownership
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: No such file or directory

link failed File exists
--- pushing Superuser app
failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
--- cleaning
--- rebooting
ALL DONE!!!
Is there anyone out there that has converted a cramfs image to ext3 (or possibly something else, not sure what this supports yet)?
i got cat /proc/mounts to work in terminal emulator once and i did notice some others partitions were marked ext3 so hopefully a conversion would be possible i just don't know how and i cant seem to get the mounts again
*edit* cat /proc/mounts works in terminal emulator everytime
attached the important part of the output
Cool that's the same thing I'm seeing.
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /system cramfs ro,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock7 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock6 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
I suppose its a little ambitious for me to try to go directly to ext3 so what i think i will try to do is to try to download the system image from the phone and then modify it with the proper files (from doomlord's oneclick v3) so it can be rooted.
I will update this thread with my progress.
Returned it...I'm all for tinkering, but not willing to go that deep good luck!

This tool helped me.
Hi just tryit but no luck i get this
failed to get shell root
thanks
Can anyboddy help me please
I'm having this same issue, none of the usual methods have been working.
try running:
adb remount
and then your root script.
what it does is it remounts the system partition r/w instead of read-only, so you can chmod and such

As best as I can tell, the script fails to mount partition as writable, I imagine it's because it was intended for a previous version of hboot? though i'm not sure how similar the 3D and 4G are in terms of partitions to begin with... bottom line the method flashallthetime suggested should work just fine, but if you want S-OFF you would need to figure out what hboot u have, downgrade if necessary and then use revolutionary method to get S-OFF

[QUESTION] Rooting a read-only device.

Hello Guys!
This is my first post on the forum, I will try to make myself as clear as possible. I have got a LG Optimus L5 (known as Swift L5), which I am trying to root. But there is a problem. I have been doing a bit of research, and I have found out that the Optiums L series are read only (the internal storage). And because they are read-only, I cant push the files onto the device, in other words I cant root the device! This is really freaking me out a bit. I hope You guys can help me solve my problem. Best regards
Please help guys
Again the problem was not looking for specific device forum.
However, here's your answer

Hi!
Thanks for replying to my thread. I have already followed that tutorial, and all I get is a message: failed to copy blablabla device is read-only.

Ok. I read the tutorial and there is no file to be pushed in /system partition. What are you basically trying to do?

You aren't understanding me. I didn't see ANYTHING in guide that was to be pushed in any partition that returns with read only error.
I was asking that what you were trying to push when you got that error. I know that you're trying to root. Tell me what I need to know to solve your problem
I suggest you to read the guide again thoroughly and then tell me WHERE you are getting error.
I get the error, when I start root.bat:

Tried running the script as root - no difference. Using Rom Lite Toolbox and the Root Browser they are listed as rwxrwxrwx 0777
Tried running CHMOD -R 777 across the directory and an individual file. Get told it is a read only.
Any ideas?
