Hi all,
Do we have any method to copy /system folder from android device. adb pull stops in-between due to permission error on non rooted phone.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Vincent

get an app like Zarchiver or Mixplorer.
Go to system and simply copy the folder to somewhere in SD card.
ADB and other fancy staff not needed.

Hi BatDroid,
Thank you for the suggestion. However, my phone is not-rooted. Do you think you apps will work?

You have to change the settings in your root manager to 'mount system as writable'. You need to do this to edit root folders

If you just want to move apps to sd then you dont have to root just use this app
If you want to modify root folders then yes you have to root your phone
Hi all.
I'm trying to copy some files to the system partition after enabling write on read-only partitions and remounting it and everything is success, but when I restart the phone, files get deleted and partition back to original. I tried ES file explore and Total Commander.
Galaxy S2, cMIUI 2.10 JB
Hmm.. seems like a hard question!

Hey,
no not a hard question but a bit confusing
So the copy to system works without probs?
Do u have root-enabled on it?
U can try Solid explorer once, too, to be sure.
CHEERS
I enabled root explorer and I mounted the file system to be writable, yes I have a rooted phone.
I can copy to system root folders anything (media files), the files stay there until I reboot the phone then they disappear, they get deleted maybe? how to disable that?
Thanks

That listen like u have to save changes?!
Pls try the Solid explorer (for me the best explorer ever)
Copy files and have a look for root-acces request (should be asked for Solid, if it's new)
The copy/replace the file.
CHEERS
Thanks Hannibal for reply, I got no luck on doing it, they still get removed after reboot. Is there a way to flash these files that I want to copy to system as an update.zip?

Sure there's a way, but I can't help u with it, sorry.
With new Titanium Backup u can create flashable .zips but for sure only from isntalled apps.
Maybe u have a look at google. I remind for a tool which u just say what u wanna flash an it creates the flashable .zip.
Much success....
CHEERS
Edit: Sorry but couldn't answer u yesterday.
XDA had a prob for a while
When I try to install the premium version of Rom Manager i get "youre trying to replace a system app , do you want to continue ?" .
I click yes and then get "App not installed"
Any help or suggestions plz ?
Thanks
do you have root access? because that is necessary to change any system app in any case. Super User should pop up if you do have root. If it does not, maybe you accidentally denied it root privileges on first start.
Yes im sure its rooted and i checked Superuser logs on rom manager.
"created allowed allowed" and its in the allowed list.
Im guessing the installation is failing because its a system app thats in use or something ?
Since its a system app and installed via CM7 i cant even delete it.
It doesnt show in the installed apps list.
Any help is appreciated.
There is a directory under the /system folder I believe(bin?). Under that directory are a series of apk files and I bet there is still a file there for the rom manager. If you remove that with root explorer or something similar you should be good to go.

/system/app is the folder you're looking for.

To anyone having a similiar problem this is how I solved it.
-remount system/app dir to RW
-delete offending APK
-remount /data/data to RW
-delete offending dir (in rommanger's case it was com.koushikdutta.rommanger
-reboot
-reinstall.
Such a question.
There is an application, you need to copy from my RAW folder / system on the phone and reboot it. I am a novice, and questions are:
How to get SU? How to mount (and whether it is necessary) folder / system? How to hold up?
Do not judge me, I'm from Ukraine and my English is bad...
---
There are programmers? Does not interest me how to do it by hand. I need a sample code in Java. ORDER THIS, UNDERSTAND??? I'm an advanced user Android, porting firmware, writing programs, and so on. I need an answer programmer!

SU - superuser > this is the root management app !
when you root your phone,you will find this in your phone !
and if you deleted it you can get it from playstore !
next I didn't understand whether you needed to copy an app from /system/app or copy to /system/app
anyway I will answer both >
no need to mount /system for these functions .
root your phone,
then download any root browser,
then if you want to copy an app from /system/app then just copy it and paste it in your sd card etc (no reboot required).
OR if you want to copy an app to /system/app then copy the app from whereever you have stored it and paste it in /system/app and set permissions as rw-,r--,r-- and then reboot !

No. I am writing a program. How to do it by hand or through the Recovery I know. It means you need Java!
You must root your device if u want to mod your system... cause if u dont have superuser user access, impossible to mod your /system... default set in system is r/o if you want to modding you must set system to r/w

I want to deal with the root, how to get the program, and how to use it. However, can't get no explanatory instructions or examples!

You cannot do that without having your device rooted, as the file permissions won't allow you to list contents there.
