Running gingervolt 1.2, great rom, ran both oneclick root methods...zerglings etc...the esteem method says the phones been rooted. MT's method runs through the root procedure...then afterwards, I manually update superuser to 3.03, because niether of those methods will do that. Still when attempting to write a boot animation zip to the /system/media folder, I get the error "sytsem is read only"....
not sure if the root isn't taking....any help is greatly appreciated
What are you using to write the boot animation? Also, If you are using Root Explorer make sure you mount /system R/W. I believe it is in the top right corner. I've never used it :/ Just heard from people with it

You have root. Make sure you mount the system folder as read/write (R/W) before you try to change anything. It defaults as read only. If you're using Root Explorer it's in the upper right corner.

Lol I saw that. Posted at the exact same time. If only I my words per minute were faster. Mavis Beacon here I come.
Just as info I'm not sure why but using
adb remount has never worked for me the best and easiest way to do it us root explorer just rename the original to bootanimation.zip.old and paste the new one in there

I have a framework-res.apk to give me battery % on the top bar, but im not sure how to install it... Can someone help please?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
use Astro File Manager and open it. you should be at /sdcard. then press "UP" and you should be at / now.
all in all. navigate to /system/framework and replace the framwork-res.apk file.
do backup your original apk file incase things don't work out.
Right I tried that, with Astro I can't copy files to root directories (above /sdcard/) I tried EStrongs file manager and it says it can't be copied... Is there any reason it won't work?
Or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hmm weird. it worked for me, judging from your signature you're rooted so... i have no idea. paid solutions like root explorer and all, or adb. isn't the battery modification done via an update.zip now? it's easier and way automated.
Yeah it's rooted and it had worked before but when this method didn't work again I thought I was doing it wrong.
I'll have a look for the thread again when I'm home and see what it says and if there's an update.zip.
Thanks for the help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
definitely an update.zip method now. i've applied it yesterday lol no problem.
here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Damn you're good, thats the exact thread
Well I'm glad it's done by update.zip haha.

If you have root try to overwrite the app by pushing it into system/app. Maybe it will work.

I have my phone rooted, and I tried what you say with astro/es/root explorer
but I just can't copy anything in /system/app/ because it's read-only.
Any ideas ?
yes, I do. Mount R/W in the root explorer (upper right corner). By default read only is set.

hmmm, strange. Anyway. I just overwrote it by a normal install of the .apk. Nothin to push. And it works great.

WTF is going on :/
I navigate to /system with root explorer tap on mount R/W and nothing happens
You have to paste it after you pressed R/W..
Pressing the R/W button only means you can now put something in that folder..
Been using it since the morning, works great so far.. not too sure about the looks though. Too grey and too much like WP7

Man I'm not an idiot, I know that "Mount R/W" only changes the permissions and I also have to paste the file.
The thing is that when I click it nothing happens.

Have you tried deleting the old market paste the new then restart you phone
I just click on it installed and everything was fine, dunno what has happened there,
or you could open up the zip of the rom you are using remove the vending and replace it with the new one and reflash it to your your phone, without wiping and that might work
or try ADB
All I did was install it over the original some people said its got Chinese work.g on it but mine seems fine

If a connect it to the PC, i cannot see the system folder. (is there any trick I am not aware of?)
If i use a folder manager, i cannot put a ringtone in the system/media folder...its probably protected or so.
does it HAVE to be rooted or so?
thank you.
Root is required to make changes to /system
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
If you wanna put a ringtone in /system/media use root explorer. That's the easiest way for you, if you're advanced and wanna get familiar with adb, adb push it

I assumed that
but is the ROOT safe at this time? i have red a lot of issues after ROOTing...
Uhh... root is kinda never safe? Haha. Idk what you mean by that
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
getting root itself normally isnt a big issue.. normally people run in to more trouble when they have attempted flashes that go awry.
I used to flash my HTC Touch Pro 2 with a CUSTOM Rom almost every month... for more than 1 year..and no issues there...
but the number of topics with problems after booting the D3...made me think again when modding this phone...
With just a root, you should be ok. I feel that just rooting does very little, and as said before, the issues only arise when we try to take advantage of what root enables us to do...freezing, modding, flashing, etc.
i just want to put a custom ringtone (mp3 file) in the ringtones folders.
the ringtones from this phone..are really stupid.
any ideas which does not include root?
Well I use the MIUI music app and when it asks me to choose a ringtone I just chooose it through that
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Use Ringdroid, it's free in market. Ringdroid allows you to crop and edit audio files, turn them in to ringtones and set them as default.
worked perfectly with ringdroid
if i unistall the application, the ringtone will remain?
use root explorer. Thats how i get to it.

nope. if i try to move with root explorer a file in system folder, it says i can not do that. probably because the phone is not rooted.

Root explorer isn't nedded anymore. ES file explorer can browse as root, and it's free.
does anyone can tell me how to edit android system file without root?
Sorry for my bad english
Not possible i guess. Only root users will get access to System partition. If not rooted, you'll only able to access the SD-card folder only.
If there is any exceptions, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's impossible.

Yes, it's impossible, you have to root......may I suggest you this: Universal Gingerbread Root & Unroot 2.3.3 -> 2.3.7+ ?
actually it is possible with abd it is like a temp root
what you need is a stock kernel in which ro.debuggable is set to 1 and you can use adb root command to push and pull files to system dont know about deleting
but still it is far better to root the device.

yes thats right, we need to mount system to r/w and thats need root, if not then we'll just in r/o state and we can only see and do nothing about it
I think it's possible
I have the same problem. I want to change the system sounds.
Today I was looking in my files with astro file manager. I noticed a little phone icon in the path. I tapped it and i got in the system partition.
P.S I have a galaxy nexus. It has no sd card. I don't know if it works with other phones.
I'd use adb, as dheerai said. I think u mean with 'root' that u flash sth with loosing warranty. But using adb doesnt void warranty, i think, cause if it would, no single developer using adb (and they do use it!) would loose his phones warranty and this might not be googles intention.

what if the phone don't have root....?
If you just want to view them then just flash TWRP flashing doesn't require root and you can view them and if you want to edit them then sorry there's no way to edit them without rooting
Can you please elaborate the process about how to edit the system files through adb commands?

How to temporarily root using adb
Hello
I recently picked up a HD Fire which is on the newest update 7.2.1 and rooted it with the "Qemu automated root" method, which it said was successful. I see the SU app, thing is "ES file explorer" wont let me turn on root explorer and another app "root explorer" wont let me change system permissions to R/W to move apps around.. I am stuck, and I am assuming that I am not rooted if I cant change permissions?
Thanks..

Glad you got it working....In My experience (which isnt great) Id Just sack ES Explorer and use Root Explorer....Its quite simple in there. There is a button at the top that is for read only or read write.....It says Mount R/W to get read write or when your in RW it says Mount R/O for read Only. Im a massive fan of Root Explorer ....And no I dont have anything to do with it......Its the best Stat! for less than £4 I also have their SQL database editor....Which actually lets you edit stuff...Unlike some Ive had to get refunds for!
