[Q] ADB remount: operation not permitted - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Samsung Galaxy tab users and devs.
So im' having a bit of a problem here trying to remount my galaxy tab so i can read/write to it. My cache size is the famous and well hated 25 MB file size limit so i wanted to change it by using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18840882&postcount=227
Im currently running gingerbread 2.3 with root priviliges, and Clockworkmod 3.0.5

Hi Jakk,
I'm not a developer, but, the error seems indicate that adb can't remount as RW the /system, so:
1) adb shell work? (you must see a "#" if you are root)
2) have you installed busybox?
3) the 01newcache script in init.d directory work if you have a rom/kernel that suppor init.d
I use the script and i can confirm that work very fine
Bye
Idk

1) How am i able to see that? Should i see a # at the ADB CMD box? Root checker veryfies that my device is rooted.
2) Yes it's installed using V1.16.2androidminimal - updating now.
3) How can i check if my ROM supports that? My rom is the Stock safe Rom provided when flashing to Overcome.

Using the "adb shell" command in ADB gives me a $

using the adb shell command gives me the $ as i said.
When using the command su it gives me the # you're where talking about.

Hi Jakk,
Yes, so you have a working superuser thats ok, but if you have stock kernel (i think) there isn't any init.d support so the only way is to try manually.
Another way is installing a custom rom (boca, overcome, etc..) or custom kernel that have init.d support.

There is some errore message when you try to remount via adb? Try to remount filsystem directly in a root shell, here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859712
there is, at the end of first post, the instruction to mount r/o the /system
Bye
Idk

Hmm actually not sure that there is a custom kernel installed (i don't suppose since it's a stock firmware, then the kernel should be stock - dosen't allow me to overglock however xD )
I've get this message:
Code:

I'll suppose that this is what im gonna write in adb?
Code:

Tried to flash the overcome kernel v3.3.1
Also i've connected the tab while in recovery mode now i get a ~$ when entering adb shell.

Hi Jakk,
1) adb is use only from PC (windows or linux), there isn't any adb command into android OS...
2) My mistake: read this links: http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685146; the above command is about rfs (Samsung Robust File System); if you have converted the filesystem into ext4, i'm not sure that above command work....
sorry

Im am able to mount using the
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Command you told me about but when i try to push the newcache file
Code:
adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
it simply says:
adb: Not found
When trying to copy it outside the shell it says:
failed to copy "01newcache" to "system/etc/init.d/": Is a directory.

Hi,
if you try the adb into android phone shell, simply don't work because adb is a windows command (adb = android debug bridge).
The good is seems you have the init.d directory, so try this:
go to android phone shell and remount /system
in a windows cmd shell do this:
adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
return into android phone shell:
adb shell
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 777 01newcache
ls -l /system/etc/init.d (to show the contend of init.d)
exit
Bye

So you mean that i'll just simply open a cmd box without refering to adb and then use the adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/ command? How's that gonna work?
If you've got the time could you please assist me over teamwiever or something similair?

Hi Jakk,
Rollback, read this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
The operation is in 2 steps, pc and android terminal: adb is pc side the rest in android terminal.
I'm sorry, i prefer forum support, i've no time at this moment.....
If i'm not clear enough please tell me, i don't know your skill level...

pretty skilled, gonna start my IT-technician education after christmas, and i've know a bit bat programming from working with windows server and also a bit html and php.
capable of flashing ROMS, unbricking etc but haven't used ADB before. I've configured adb the exact same way as the tut you've sent me.
However i still just get's error codes like adb not found, remount not found, Is a directory, or are you sure you are rooted?

Is working ?:
Code:
adb shell
If yes then:
Code:
su
mount -o remount rw /system
then - if you are not able to use "push" - copy the file in your SDcard then, while in adb shell:
Code:
cp /sdcard/yourfile /your-destination/
Seem easy

then which one am i going to choose? The overwrite?
and am i just supposed to write it like this:
cp /mnt/sdcard/01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
Because then i've get a cp can't create /system/etc/init.d/: Is a directory

Try this:
cp /mnt/sdcard/01newcache /system/etc/init.d/01newcache
Bye

If you have the init.d folder then just manul copy "01newcache" to your sd card and from your tab, with a root explorer (i use esfile explorer with root option enabled from option menu) copy it to system/etc/init.d.

...to solve the original problem...
I fixed this on my device from a windows command prompt by typing "adb root" , which restarts the daemon on the device with root permissions.

"[TUT]Rooting,Custom boot.img & recovery.img for newbies

Firstly i did not do this guide. it took it from this forum and just compile so that newbie like me can easily root their tattoo.....
ROOTING TATTOO
Download the ZIP file attached to this post. Extract the files to a safe location - perhaps C:\Tattoo ?
Now, you'll need adb for windows. You can get it from COBURN website's server here: ADB for windows.
Make sure your device is in USB Debug Mode (Settings > Applications > Development).
Extract all the files in the adb4win zip file to your C:\Tattoo folder.
Now, go to Command Prompt. In XP, it's under System Tools in Accessories. In Vista/7, it'll be under accessories.
Do the following at the command line:
C:\Users\Coburn> cd C:\Tattoo
Then you will get this C:\Tattoo
Next type in this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "mkdir /data/local/bin" (with the quotes!).
If you get a error (like mkdir failed, file/folder exists), this is fine!
just means that the folder already exists in your phone
Now, run this command:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push m7 /data/local/bin/m7
this will just take a few seconds
Run this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "cd /data/local/bin && chmod 755 ./m7" (with the quotes!)
This allows you to run the sucker. Looks like something nothing happen but it did something.
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
This will dump you at a "$" shell. do the following:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
$ cd /data/local/bin
$ while ./m7 ; do : ; done
...lotsa text will flow down your screen. This is normal.
Soon, you'll be greeted with this:
#
This is the root prompt! If you get stuff like this:
# usage: reboot ...
usage: reboot ....
usage: reboot ...
Just keep your cool, press enter and the # will pop again. This is due the exploit spawning reboots to gain the shell.
Next type in this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
Check if u have root, type:
id
you will get
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)
The uid=0(root) is important, so call your phone is root.
REMOUNT PARTITION (SU)
Now you need to install su. Exit your root shell (via CTRL+C) and download this su.zip and extract it to C:\Tattoo.
DO NOT EXIT THE COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW.
in your command prompt window, do this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push su /data/local/bin/su
Then break out a shell...
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
at the $ prompt, enter:
$ chmod 755 /data/local/bin/su
$ cd /data/local/bin/
$ while 'true' ; do ./m7 ; done
It will change from $ to #
Type in this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
Next type in this:
# chown root.root /data/local/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /data/local/bin/su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
After that, you can exit out of the root shell, and try a normal shell and this:
$ /data/local/bin/su
...which should make you get a nice # prompt.

[FIXED] Remount failed: operation not permitted

Ok, I'm not a total noob. I've been trying to return to 1.5 as cleanly as possible, but now I'm having an error when trying to remount my phone.
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT9C1HF03306 device
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
#
This is what I did:
Flashed the 1.5 RUU that Flipz has had out for months. No errors
Ran the Avalaunch PRI fix to get rid of the flipz_01 PRI name
updated my profile
updated my PRL (which is now 65000??)
rooted through the normal sequence without error, I can boot to the recovery just fine, but when I adb shell into the phone I end up at $ instead of #. I have to su to get to # and at the c:\windows-sdk-windows\tools\adb remount fails with "remount failed: operation not permitted"
Is it possible that the PRI update has foiled the root exploit? I even restored a nand backup that I know had a working root and I still have the same results. This is too weird.
Anyone else have this issue? I searched the forum but I came up empty.
Try adb remount before adb shell. I'm pretty sure anythig with adb should be ran at just the command prompt.
Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
right, this is at the c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ prompt. I guess I need to re-word that last bullet point to be more clear.
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT9C1HF03306 device
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
#
Yeah the wording got me. I was hoping it was as simple as that for you tho. Defiantly Strange. Believe me I've had plenty of those moments where hours would have been saved if someone could have just said "no your just doing it wrong".
Maybe try rerunning the RUU and start from scratch the PRI fix should hold thru the RUU but if it did affect something else running the RUU again may correct it.
I RUU'd about 4 times so far on two different laptops, one with XP and one with Win7, running both versions of the HTC Sync drivers.
Something is definitely different. I'm thinking of doing the PRI fix again to see if that helps. The PRL being 65000 instead of the normal 60664 is another anomaly I'm curious about.
looks as if the 65000 PRL is a new one. I can't confirm (not with Sprint) but there is a thread over in General talking about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684873
YEAH! I fixed it....well....actually Flipz fixed it for me. I created a custom ROM in the kitchen and flashed it. Now the remount miraculously works. I'm back to being happy...though I don't know why. Its not like I was using root for anything

I found something that help me and you. it properly works!!
I can't spell out instructions for the above mentioned suggestion, since I
don't know which file editor comes on the shipped device, but I have an
alternative solution.From the SDK's tools directory, run adb shell. In the
prompt run the following:
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 777 /system (Or any subdirectory you want to push to inside system)
# exit
adb push <local file> <device location>
and eventually you should restore the original directory permissions by:
# chmod 755 /system (Or any subdirectory you modified permissions to)
Hope this helps,

Is there a solution for this?
I have a rooted HTC Desire.
When I type adb remount I get permission denied.
When I type adb shell and then su , i get permission denied!
This was a stock 2.2 rooted with unrevoked 3.
Any idea?

man thanks alot for your help, but im really a noob.
wud u mind telling me step by step, i know it sounds pretty stupid but pls just guide in the right direction. Much appreciated.
Ouch. I hope you can laugh about this one day. I'm sure you'll have root again.
Have you ever heard the term "curiosity kills the cat".
You knew enough to get root, revert to stock so that you could apply 2.2.1, to discover the hard way that the .1 was mainly, if nothing more than a security patch locking out root. And now need coles notes for above. Sorry, that'll be funny after you have root again.
In the meantime, I hope you find solace in paving the road for future noobs starting new from 2.2.1.
Anyway, the majority of the guide above are sequences while in ADB. You had to use some adb to get
root the first time. Google and do a little research on the subject. You need to polish up as I think the warnings above about "don't do anything until", are warnings to avoid bricking. If this procedure is that risky then your ounce of comprehension is worth a ton of hand holding.

Looks like you don't have the rageagainstthecage binary on your phone.
Doing 'adb shell ls -l /data/local/tmp' on your computer should get you something like this:
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 5392 2010-08-25 01:42 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1926944 2010-03-22 20:29 busybox
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 26248 2010-07-22 10:20 su
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 27688 2010-07-22 10:19 Superuser.apk
There might be some other files in there; it's these that matter. If you don't see them then do all the 'adb push' and 'adb shell chmod' stuff in the previously linked instructions.

If you can't follow these instrucstions, you should NOT be rooting anyhow, since you obviously have NO IDEA what you are doing.
1) Get rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz
2) Get Superuser.apk, busybox,su
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1327667/freenexus.zip
3) Get the Android SDK (ADB)
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
4a) Unzip android SDK (e.g. so that the tools folder is F:\ADB\)
4b) connect Nexus One with with "applications=>development=>USB debug enabled" (and install USB driver if necessary)
5) Unzip/unrar files within RageAgainstTheCage.tgz to F:\ADB\
6) Unzip/unrar files within freenexus.zip to F:\ADB\
7) Open command prompt go to F:\ADB
[7b) Verify that your nexus one is connected and responding - type "adb devices" it should list your N1
8) Now within the command prompt do the following (commands in bold - the rest gives you an indication of the results)
(Note: if you get $ instead of #, just go back and repeat the instructions from where it says $ ./rageagainstthecage. Worked like a charm on the second try for me.)

Ok perhaps that what i am doing wrong...
so i download android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & unzip it..to a folder F:\ADB.
So i have to create a new folder named ADB and thne unzip all teh stuff in it??
because before i was unzipping the android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & then the folder named android-sdk_r07-windows & i was upzipping freenexus.zip & RageAgainstTheCage.tgz in the tools folder in the android-sdk_r07-windows folder.
So correct me if im wrong instead of android-sdk_r07-windows folder I have to make a new folder named F:\ADB and then unzinp android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & freenexus.zip & RageAgainstTheCage.tgz in teh F;\ADB folder not in the android-sdk_r07-windows tools folder??
Please advise?>?

Sorry this is so basic ... if you don't understand folder structures, you really SHOULD NOT ROOT!
Do NOT do it! Maybe after using computers for a couple of years you can "upgrade" to rooting your phone.

I can admire how you're so annoyed but I guess i gotta suck it up cus It I who is in need.
LOL! i've been using computers for a while now & I do undrestand the folder structure pretty well why would i think that? Cus I was able to root the phone the first time.
It's just that i find the description so confusing, I use windows, dunno what OS are you on? But when you extract a zip file it creates a default folder of the same name so...
But i really don't think that my question was that hard, which shot you over the moon & piss you off and made you tell me to learn basic computing first.
All i asked was If I am suppose to make a separate folder named ADB & if I sould extract every thing in it rather than the default unzipped folder that windows makes. But I guess If you're so annoyed then i'l leave it for some one else, I am quite sure one of the purpose of this forum is to get and give help. And im pretty sure that there will be someone who can help me or perhaps i'll find a way myself. But anyways thanks alot for your time, you've been nothing but great help. LOL! And I mean it...

[Q] Newbie trying to confirm root on Nexus One 2.2.1 FRG83

Ladies and Gents:
Please help me out.
I am trying to install a "Japanese IME" that sir JMaurice has kindly provided through one of the forums.
Did everything (I think) required in order to get my N1 connected and recognized by my laptop. Then used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse to gain root. Started on the IME installation and got the following.
>adb devices
List of devices attached
HTxxxPxxxxxx device
>adb kill-server
* server not running *
>adb root
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
So I decided to confirm root.
>adb shell
$ su
su
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
I couldn't start the "adb push" sequence due to the errors above. What am I doing wrong?
Did you reboot after executing SuperOneClick? Try that.

Believe I rebooted. Rebooted again just in case. Still gives me the following:

* daemon started successfully *
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Weird, but already seen on the forum not a long time ago, I think. I'm not sure what can be done in this situation. "adb remount" can be easily substituted by shell commands, root shell you're still achieving by "su", but how to solve this - I have no idea. Might be permissions thing.

You have root, you just don't have an insecure boot.img

Please clarify. Where possible, detailed explanation/instructions would be most appreciated.
You have root, that's all fine.
To use the command adb remount, you need an insecure bootloader, as you don't have this (due to using the stock boot.img) you have to mount /system as RW in a different way:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system

What I am trying to achieve after adb remount is:
adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/
adb push iWnnIME/libiwnn.so /system/lib/
.
.
.
adb push iWnnIME/libnjubase2.so /system/lib/
adb push iWnnIME/DroidSansJapanese.ttf /system/fonts/
adb install iWnnIME/iWnnIME.apk
This will actaully be the first time for me to use su. Could you confirm whether the following sequence of commands are correct?
>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /data
# exit
$ exit
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
> adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/

> adb push iWnnIME/libnjubase2.so /system/lib/
> adb push iWnnIME/DroidSansJapanese.ttf /system/fonts/
> adb install iWnnIME/iWnnIME.apk
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Wrong. You don't need to remount data, it's always writeable, and the command is erroneous - you're mounting system partition and calling it "data". You need to just push the apps to /data, as shown below:
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
> adb push iWnnIME/[email protected]@[email protected] /data/dalvik-cache/
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system
# exit
$ exit

I think I am starting to understand this. I punched in the first adb push sequence and got the following:
> adb push iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime /data/data/
push: iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime/dicset/master/njuserphone.a -> /data/data/dicset/master/njuserphone.a
failed to copy 'iWnnIME/jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime/dicset/master/njuserphone.a' to '/data/data/dicset/master/njuserphone.a': No such file or directory
Checked in tools directory and the appropriate directory/file combination was there. Does this indicate that I have to create the appropriate directory in my phone?
Someone? Anyone?
Or is it possible to execute the same adb sequence in shell as su?
I must admit, I've never pushed more that a single file at a time over, given you appear to be trying to push an entire directory tree, perhaps you might be better off copying it over to the SD card in Windows, and using busybox to get it where you need it.
Exactly as Rusty suggested above me. Otherwise you need to create all the directories manually, through adb shell mkdir <your_directory_that_is_not_on_the_phone> .

How can I run 'adb root' on Nexus One

Hi,
I have rooted Nexus One which runs on GingerBread. I can open 'adb shell' and then execute 'su' there.
But when I try to 'adb remount', it fails.
Code:
$ adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Basically, I want to copy a file from my Desktop (MacOSX) to /system/bin on the device, is there anyway to do that on my Nexus One?
You rooted a stock OS - it doesn't have insecure boot, so ADB doesn't allow remount and other root commands.

It seems like you are trying a bunch of things without reading beforehand, and understanding what you are doing. As has been said to you before, you cannot use the adb remount command with a secure boot image. If you want read/write access to the /system partition, you need to do the following:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Now you have read/write access to the /system partition. No you can copy files from your sdcard to the system partition if you want. When you are finished with whatever you have to do, don't forget to issue the following command:
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
There you have it. However, if you would have read a bit, instead of starting a new thread for each question you had, you would already have found what to do...
