Root Explorer is unable to re-mount /system in R/W. The button simply does nothing when I press it. I am also unable to update AdFree, which re-writes the hosts file in /system. Anything I can do to remedy this?
stupid question, but I have to ask: are you rooted?

Try backing all the way out of the folder by pressing the (...) button at the top. Keep pressing that until you are at the root folder (it won't be there anymore). Now press the r/w button at the top. It should change, and will stay changed once you go back into the other folders.
Sorry, it was early, and my brain wasn't good for specifics. I am rooted, running SRE 1.2.
Root is mounted R/W, but /system will not change state. Is there anything I can try from the terminal?
Same problem here on my wife's Captivate. I used SRE 1.2.1a and noticed that I was still seeing ads. So I tried installing Adfree and updating the host file and ran into the same mounting error.
On my own Captivate, I had used 1-Click root before SRE came out and no problems updating there.
same here no ADFREE in SREv2b7. I tried R/W on Root explorer and even trying to change permissions on sys,system, data/data, and still get same error as you guys re-mount /system.
Let's see where /system is mounted:
Code:
C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
$ mount

At this point, we can see that /system is mounted at /dev/block/stl9. With that knowledge:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Now your free to do whatever it is you were trying to do. When you're done, don't forget to:
Code:
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
$ exit
Thanx but that didnt work this are my setting

I can't update AdFree either.

Didn't work for me either--still got the "failed to mount read-only file system" or something like that. Also, when I tried the "-o remount,ro" adb said device or resource busy. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed in the SRE thread, but i really, really, want adree to work
After i've installed ezgingerbread on my G1 (radio 2.22.28.25 SPL 1.33.0013d), I have problem restoring my nandroid backup of Gingerfroyo (Restore the rom, but lost all settings).
If i install Gingerfroyo rom again , I can't download apk larger than 2 MB from market.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks and excuse me for my english.
ezGingerbread doesn't touch the partitions, it takes the standard layout of the 1.33.0013(d) SPL. I am not sure if GingerFroyo touches the partition map, I've never installed it.
If your market downloads are not working, probably removing the folder ".android_secure" from your /sdcard will help you.
If i delete .android_secure, it recreate again. The market have the same problem.
I can't download .Apk larger than 2 MB from market.
Gingerfroyo don't touch the partitions.

If that didn't work, do you have an ext partition? Is your cache bind mounted to /sd-ext? Can you post the output of the
df -h
command? I suspect your cache is not bind mounted.

Thanks for help
I have re-flashed the rom and the problkem seems to be solved. Thanks for help.
P.S: add rotary lockscreen to ADS_magpie?

Sorry, I tried it already some time ago, but there are too many dependencies to other parts of the CM sources. At the moment I don't think that I will invest the time to port it to ADS_Magpie, but we will see.
