Hey im a little confused and im pretty sure im not the only one. Im a little confused well alot with the mount ro and the mount rw feature . I need help with like what's the diference and which.does what and which one should I be on.
Thanks. To anyone willing to help
Assuming you are using root explorer right? Use R/W whenever you want to edit something in the non-internal sd section of the phone such as the files in the /system folder or /bin folder. Otherwise if you are new to the phone leave it as R/O to avoid messing something up.
R/O means "read only", if you try to change something in the system files while it's set it won't have the proper permission and the original file will remain unchanged.
R/W stands for "read write" shock means you are able to change it.
Thanks for the responses but the thing now is I had to reflash supernova and now I canteen redownload my apps the right amount shows up on titanium backup. And when I go to restore it freezes at 1%. And when I try to download from the market same thing.

hi, i had a small problem last night whereas my phone got stuck in a restart loop after installing a developers theme via MetaMorph
After this problem i now want to be able to fix any changes to themes that i make, and if i mess something up i want to be able to restore it without reflashing my device.
Im sure that if i backup the files that are being changed in modifications i download, or ones i make myself, then i can restore these files or packages in download mode via ADB?
so in cmd i can backup with:
adb pull /system/app/framework-aes.apk
and then restore with
adb push framework-aes.apk /system/app
i can possibly even back them up just using Root Explorer, but when pushing files back on my device i get the error, 'insufficient permissions'. I have read about opening Root Explorer and adding the permissions from there, but they dont allow me to change the system folder, as its read-only
Any help appreciated!
Edit:
Off-topic im also interested to know if its possible to extract the .dex files to get the .java classes out, im guessing they are compiled
thanks

I've read many times around the forum that apps can be installed by pushing them to the correct directories, but I'm not quite sure how to do that. When my phone is connected to my PC, I can only view the /sdcard directory. In ES File Explorer I can view the other directories but I'm looking for some clarification on how to proceed with pushing apps
pushing means to move the app / file directly to the place it should be, instead of letting the phone do it.
example: if you have an app that will not install, you use a app such as root explorer (many others out there too) and you get that app, move it to /system /app and there ya go, the app is in its right place.
the same goes for files, and other things, there are lots and lots of folders / subfolders, and sometimes this method is the only way. its fairly simple.
i hope i cleared that up for ya ???

OK I think you have
I can put the app on my SDcard...then using ES File Explorer, I can copy the file, move to the directory I want, and paste the file. If I do this with an app, will it require installing, or will simply putting it in the proper directory allow me to run it ?
Thanks !
it will not need installing this is the beauty of it. Pushing it, you are putting it where it belongs - manually, hence the saying 'manually push through file explorer'
but once you have put the desired app / file in its correct place, its advised to reboot instantly, other wise it may not show up.
oh and finally, to do such things the system (phone) must be mounted as RW

Thanks for your help AzzleDazzle! Can I mount as RW through ES file explorer, or is it advised to do so through the ADB with standard linux chmod commands?
no you dont need to go through so much hassle.
im not sure if there is an option in file explorer for RW but there is with root explorer
you can also download sgs tools this can mount RW too, and even most kernels have this feature too
I corrupted my nv_data...
Flashing efsbackup didnt help...
A friend friend from the same country as me uploaded his nvdata, but i dont know how to apply it, ADB says device not found, debugging is on, and im using Win 7 x64 SP1.
If you have a complete backup of your /efs folder, a good way to restore it is: With root explorer, go into backuped /efs and multiselect and copy every file. Go to actual /efs folder and paste files in. Reboot, and things should be good now.

try long clicking the file, select permisions, make a note of whats ticked, then select them all, press ok, make sure the root "/" is mounted as R/W and try again. If sucessful change the permisions back to what they were... Hope that helps
SOLVED delete this thread
is the only way via ACMEUnistaller?
I also want to know. If someone knows, please post.
I really wish the OP would have stated the solution.
To remove the option from just Moboot, you need either a moment with the Terminal, or a root-level file explorer (like Root Explorer)
In Root Explorer:
Browse to /boot
Mount r/w
Find the file uImage.ClassicNerd (or whatever it's called)
Long-Press it, choose Delete.
Mount r/o
Reboot Tablet
Voila, it's gone.
Thank you!
I've updated my device today to 6.0.1 and rooted, however I can't seem to change the boot animation (yes, I have searched for answers and tried quite a few fixes).
Root Explorer tells me I have renamed the old file and copied the new file, however once I leave the directory and go back the old file is still there.
I have used the file explorer in TWRP and managed to delete the stock boot animation, but get a FAILED message when I try to copy the new file.
I used the terminal in TWRP and tried to copy the file manually, and receive a "No space left on device" message.
I've also tried mounting the /system as rw in adb. I can delete the bootanimation.zip file from there, and df -h shows 3mb free. Shouldn't the system partition have more space available than that?
Am I missing something, or has something changed with the new android versions?
Google has filled the system partition up to the brim. Also you can't remount system as rw while Android is running.
But the direction is right, go to TWRP, mount system, delete the old bootanimation. If the new one is not that much bigger then you could just copy it there, set permissions to rw-r--r--. But if the new animation is significantly bigger, you'll have to delete some bloatware first.
Thanks for that. The odd thing is, when I run DF in the terminal, it shows I have 20mb free. The boot animation file I am trying to copy is 6mb.
I'll keep poking around. If it doesn't work, it doesn't. It's not hugely important
