Hi,
I'm using the last Envi-ROM based in stock 23.0.1.A.0.167 and I would like to disable the charger plugged in notification so I tried to remove ChargerPluggedIn.ogg from /system/media/audio/ui but it says that it's an only read file and I can't do it. I'm root and I tried with RootExplorer, ES File Explorer, ADB (mv, chmod,...) but I'm not able to change the permissions neither the file nor /system folder.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
So i just changed the permissions of that file with rom toolbox lite to 777 without issues. I also moved it up a directory without issue. Maybe try that app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+lite&pcampaignid=APPU_EaWoVMe9Nce7mwWlnILYCw)
If you still have issues why don't you backup your phone and redownload envi-rom zip. Open the zip and navigate to the file and delete it. Then install that moded zip file and restore your data from the backup?
You can try to remove this file via file explorer in recovery, like for example aroma explorer.

Nope no good. Could only see /system/bin/ no other directories.
Thanks a lot for your comments. I tried toolbox with the same result as the previous tries. With aroma explorer I can only access to /system/bin/. So no luck for the moment. It seems that the only solution is install again the ROM without the file, but I still looking for other alternatives first.

Copying a font in /system/fonts resulted in a 'read only file system' error.
Googling around looks that the /system folder is mounted read only.
How can I (temporarily) set this folder to read/write ?
By using a rooted file explorer or Super Manager .

Thanks, this works.
When I set /shystem to r/w I can manipulate files / copy files to this folder even from an SSH terminal from my Mac.
Worked extremely well!
Thanks for the help guys. I had installed Beans Stock Rom and lost my VVM support. The market even said my device was not compatible. Tried all prior versions of VVM and none worked until I got this file and used Root Explorer to install it and set permissions as described. Thanks heavens.
I have installed the Deodexed 407 Rom, and installed Streakmod Recovery and also installed superuser.zip, so in theory, from what I have read my streak should now be rooted.
But when I try and edit a file, the build.prop file in /system with Astro File Manager I alter some of the settings and save it, but when I reopen the file the changes had not been saved. I have tried seeing if I can change the permissions on the file, but without success.
I would be grateful if someone could assist me in where I am going wrong, hopefully it is something simple or a wrong setting that I am not quite doing correct.

You have to mount the system as ReadWrite and there was no need for a new thread. You should've posted in the rooting thread
Sorry, for not putting it in the rooting thread, but didn't want to clog a general rooting thread with a specific problem.
I have solved this now thanks, but not with Astro File manager as I still cannot seem to change the permissions with that app, but used advanced tools app instead.
Thanks again anyway.
Yes i had same problem trying do root operations with file expert. I used root file explorer instead. Weird thing being that even with rooting permissions ticked file explorer failed.
For most root-enabled browsers, just enabling root permissions won't give you write access. You'll need to find a second option to mount the /system directory as read/write. That's normally somewhere in the Settings menu or on the directory's long-press menu.

It's mainly dependant on the kernel, all custom kernels automatically mount system as RW and all stock kernels mount it as RO
At least root explorer tells you that it's read only if you attempt to modify it without remounting, I havnt used ASTRO in a long time so I cant comment on that
Root explorer better for me

Hi to all!
This is my first android device, and i am new to Unix-like systems.
I have tried to unlock, root & install custom rom on my phone. Used this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
Everything go perfect until step:
DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favorite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
I always get "read only" trouble. As I understand, the problem in root access. I haven’t got it.
I have tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740748
Then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046626
But in any case i get "read only" truing to delete 'install-recovery.sh'
Will be grateful for tips how to successfully root my device.
..
a guide is in the "stickys" in general forum made by swiftks

Use root tools. And there's a little button to change it from read only to read/write. Then delete the file.

Tnx very much, it worked.

Trying via all possible file explorers, and also tried

one more time. still get
rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, Read-only file system
You need to go into the options of the file manager and enable root, and also mount system as writable. I use ES file explorer from market...its free. If it still fails my guess is you are not rooted.
I have root access, have checked with root checker basic. Have enabled root in es file explorer, still same problem.
I have made some photos, in attached files.
Did you also check the option 'mount system directory as writable' in es file explorer options

It helped. Thank you very much!
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.
Is it possible to edit file permissions of voltage_max file located in sys/class/power_supply/battery via TWRP? In TWRP's File Manager I can only get to battery and no further. It's seemingly shown as a file instead of a folder.
And more importantly if its possible will the tweaked file permissions stick after booting into the ROM? I know with root access it's easy just wanted to know if via recovery it can be accomplished w/o root or not?
Thanks.
Bump.
Anyone?
