note: this is only for root only.. nothing more nothing less

got it running. root apps now function.
but root with adb shell doesn't. if I try to remove stock apps like motonav i get permission denied. or if I try to remount with rw option is tells me "remount failed: operation not permitted"
can anyone help?

I did. I googled around and tried to change folder permissions, remount system, data and all that, put none of it works. all shell su commands are denied.
can anyone confirm this, or is it really just me?

Yeah, same for me. The interesting thing is that I was able to delete some system apks step by step, so somehow I had rw at /system but that was only for like 2 mins, then it stopped working. After some reboots, trying to unroot and root again it worked again for some time...too crazy...in the end I messed it up and had to flash the stock sbf, because the market didnt work anymore. Dunno what happened there, but was my first try at rooting anyway
Furthermore shell and /system were denied, remounting to rw didn't work either!

[Q] - How to revert Mimocans sdcard lagfix without reflash?

kbkrogs said:
Hello.
I wonder if it is posible to revert Mimocans sdcard lagfix without reflashing.
Since the lagfix simply move and link the /data/data to /disk/data I belive it should be posible (tho I dont know anything about linux codes .
The original code goes like this:
adb shell
su -
busybox cp -rp /data/data /disk/
busybox mv /data/data /data/data.bak
busybox ln -s /disk/data /data/data
I hope someone can help

I wanna know too! I am currently with Chainfire's fix, it is all right. But since it is removable, I'd like try out the Mimocan's as well. And Voodoo fix is coming, so if Mimocan's fix can be removed, it would be helpful.
Anybody? please help

it's all right here:

Thanks.
Have looked for something like that, but was only able to find untested codes.

[Q] Root access

Hey I was looking around and I couldn't find anything, but is there any way to root our vogues on android? I'm not too experienced, but I know rooting is phone specific, and since ours are a little mixed up, it probably wouldn't work the same. I want a way to do it without using ADB, my computer won't support it. I want to be able to edit/change some system files, I.E. bootanimation, UI components, and removing stock apps. correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, and thanks for any help.

Android on the vogue is rooted

Yes I know our phones are rooted, but the system acts like it's not. I.E. applications that require Root access claim that the phone isn't.

i may be a little behind on all the terms but im pretty sure for the vogue its not root its NAND.
in that case, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024
as a good place to start then move on from there.
good luck and welcome to the club

Strange, programs like root explorer function fine for me, tho the system partition is mounted as read-only by default which may cause problems with some apps?

It's rooted, but my guess is those apps are looking for a feature common on rooted phones and not finding it. they might mean that the system partition is not writable, that can be changed using terminal:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
see if that does it.

mrkite38, I tried using terminal like you said, and it returned" mount: permission denied. (are you root?) "
Also, I can use ES File Explorers' Root Explorer option and edit /system and /data just fine, and that app mounts as writable just fine, but terminal doesn't?

Terminal will, but you have to
Code:
su
first.

Thanks I'll try that. hey is there any place I could go to find some kind of shortcut/noob/command list for terminal? I have no knowledge whatsoever of code to use

Its stripped out linux shell, you can google busybox and see what commands are available there.

the phone is rooted, check to see if you have SuperUser.apk installed. you will need that for apps to access root privileges

Here is the SuperUser.apk file from RLS 17
Need to be logged in to download it I think?

[Q] Mount as R/W?

Hey,
I rooted my C6903 a few weeks ago and i want to install BusyBox.
So the installation via both apps is failing, I think its because my System is mounted as R/O.
Is there a way to mount it as R/W? I tried it with Root Explorer and with the ADB Shell (I dont know what i exactly did, just saw a few Tutorials).
Maybe u can tell me what I have to do ! Im very new at the root scene so please dont complain about me.
Greez !

mount -o remount,rw /system mount: Read-only file system

Im on Android M preview 2 with Desparis 3.3 kernel, rooted.
I would like to update build.prop and change user -> userdebug.
Before on Lollipop all I had to do is remount /system in rw and change the file.
Android M doesn't allow me to remount /system in rw.
adb push fails to overwrite the file.
Any solutions please ?

I dont think you can write to system at all anymore, even with root. I do it all in recovery for right now.

Thanks! At least it's one possible solution !

Actually, can you elaborate how do you do it ?
I've just tried booting into TWRP, then connected the phone to PC, did adb push of changed build.prop into /system, reboot the phone and realized that the phone still has the old build.prop.

First in twrp make sure you mount system in the mount menu then you should be able to push and pull. You probably pushed the file nowhere even though I think you should've got a error message. I pulled the build.prop straight from twrp edited it then pushed it right back. Did it for the tethering hack. ? ?

I didn't think write to system was working in the M builds. Must be something wrong with his root method.

Root works great in all apps.
The only problem I have is with RO system. Before M I would use ES explorer to modify and save build.prop and Android Terminal to remount system as RW. But it doesn't work like that anymore in M.
Ive never tried root explorer.

it works exactly like it did before over here. and ive manuslly changed my build.orop several times already.

I'm on Preview 2, rooted, Despair kernel 3.3.
Still confused as to how to enable mounting /system r/w from within Android and not TWRP. Trying FX file explorer as well as Terminal Emulator with no success. I have Busybox installed and under Applet Manager it shows the "Mount" applet as installed and symlinked to /system/bin/toolbox.

Root Explorer FTW. Always works and same file system as shows on PC.

Well Root Explorer wasn't the answer, surprisingly enough haha...
Needed insecure boot.img obtained here flashed with help from this thread, with further reading here for better understanding or doing it yourself.
Also I apparently forgot that adbd insecure by chainfire exists until just now, which could have potentially been another solution.
