[Q] how to mount cdrom as rw? - Motorola Droid Bionic

how can I mount the /dev/block/mmcblk1p17 as read write.
I have tried:
[email protected]:/# mount -t iso9660 /dev/block/mmcblk1p17 /data/local/mystuff/cdrom2
and
[email protected]:/# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p17 /data/local/mystuff/cdrom2
Always shows as read only though:
[email protected]:/# mount |grep cdrom
mount |grep cdrom
/dev/block/mmcblk1p17 /data/local/mystuff/cdrom2 iso9660 ro,relatime 0 0
I would like to update the motohelper driver file to latest version on this partition. Any ideas on how to do this?

[Q] app2SD - can't mount ext2 partition

Hi, I have an unlocked, rooted Milestone running 2.1-update1.
I am having some issues getting App2SD up and running.
Everything seems to be working fine except for one piece:
I can't mount the ext2 partition of my SDCard.
I have a 16gb sdcard, formatted with two primary partitions, 14.5gb for FAT32 and 1.5gb for ext2.
busybox was installed ok, all the shell scripts seem to have installed fine as well, however, in order for it to work, the "mount_sd.sh" script has to be able to mount the second partition in order to link /data/app to it - but the damn thing won't mount.
I have tried re-partitioning the SD card multiple times, using multiple different partitioners (gparted in Ubuntu, Minitool in XP, even fdisk in the Android shell itself...) but nothing seems to work - I always get the same error:
Code:
# mount -t ext2 /dev/block//vold/179:2 /system/sd
mount -t ext2 /dev/block//vold/179:2 /system/sd
mount: No such device
The device however, most certainly DOES exist:
Code:
# ls /dev/block//vold
ls /dev/block//vold
179:2
179:1
179:0
I have seen that some people use the /dev/block/mmcblk0 instead of /dev/block//vold/179 - I am unsure as to why (anyone know which one I should be using on the Milestone???) but I tried that as well:
Code:
# mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
mount: No such device
Again, it tells me the device doesn't exist, when it clearly DOES:
Code:
# ls /dev/block/mmc*
ls /dev/block/mmc*
/dev/block/mmcblk0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
When I try to verify the partitions are there in the ADB shell, it looks like /dev/block//vold/179 doesn't exist or is some kind of special device (incidentally, does anyone know wtf the double slashes "//" are for?):
Code:
# fdisk /dev/block//vold/179
fdisk /dev/block//vold/179
fdisk: can't open '/dev/block//vold/179'
However, I CAN fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0, and it gives me the following partition table:
Code:
# fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
...snip...
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 16.0 GB, 16039018496 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1949 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1 1762 14153233+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 1763 1949 1502077+ 83 Linux
So, it looks like /dev/mmcblk0 is the correct block device, however, mount tells me this:
Code:
# mount
mount
...snip...
/dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=101
020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
So, mount is telling me that the first partition is mounted onto /sdcard from /dev/block//vold/179:1
I am confused. The only thing left I need to do in order to get App2SD working on my Milestone, is to mount the bloody second partition of my SD card and link it to the file system, yet the damn thing refuses to mount.
Does anyone know where I am going wrong here?
Which is the correct block device I should even be trying to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 or /dev/block//vold/179:2?
I don't want to flash to an unofficial 2.2 and I have everything else working just the way I want it, so I'd rather not reset either.
There MUST be a solution somewhere, but I am getting frustrated.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
Hello!
I'm having exactly the same problem... I've been trying to find a solution for this problem for the last 3 hours, but I can't figure out a way...
Can anyody give us a light??
Thanks!
Same question here. Partitioned more than a month ago, but then I reached a dead end. I don't know a reliable way to mount the ext2 partition. I'm familiar with Linux, and I have tried all kinds of crazy shell scripts, but the Android filesystem is still a bit alien to me.
By the way, what is this App2SD that you speak of? It's something different from the Apps2SD app on Froyo, right?

A shot in the dark would be ext2.ko is not insmodded ... ?
got this problem to on stock US froyo kernel for Samsung Galaxy 5. I also suspected ext2 was missing but it seems compiled into kernel.
Code:
# cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev tmpfs
nodev debugfs
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev anon_inodefs
nodev rpc_pipefs
nodev inotifyfs
nodev devpts
ext2
nodev ramfs
vfat
nodev nfs
rfs
For the MS, you have to insert a ext2 Kernel module, look around here on the forums..
Depending on which module-version you're using try "-t auto" instead of "-t ext2"
Also you should use "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" if this is your ext2 partition
Besides, there should be some packages available which contain the necessary scripts and files to install this automatically and at boot, applicable as OR-updates
It was my understanding that Apps2SD could not be used on 2.1, you needed 2.2 to use that app. Although I have the same issue with Links2SD which is suppose to work with 2.1. I can't get anything to see an ext2 or 3 or Fat partition.
My amator tries
Hy,
I've got the same problem on Cyanogen and Goapk roms:
mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
doesn't work
I verified sd-ext was present
mkdir /sd-ext
Nothing changed.
My mount description is somethime using vold instead of mmcblk0p... I don't really understand.
However I succeeded to mount sdext by using busybox (on goapk rom)
busybox mount -r -w -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
result mount:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0

Just in case, If somebody can help me:
*I have a symlink /data/drm =>/data/local :how to unsymlink it? (unbind isn't present and replacement doesn't work:" Invalid cross-device link")
*perl script are unable to decompresse boot.img, how to change init.rc in this case?
thanks
symlinks

Symlinks can be removed with the rm command.
The "cross device link" error happens when one uses the ln command without the "-s" option (so attempting a hard link instead of symlink).

Mount system doesn't work

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
When i'm on step 3 "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" it tells me
mount: Invalid argument
How can i fix this? USB debug is on
Could this be a ROM related problem?

Re-enabling ext4 journaling in ROMs based on Stock

Hey there,
it's known that ext4 with disabled journaling is little faster than default, but it is also less reliable.
This can result in screwed up homescreens and force-closes after reboot/shutdown/battery pull.
I have successfully re-enabled journaling for system and cache partition, but it seems not to work correctly for data partition, at least for me. Can you help?
Code:
echo ..............system Partition...............
/sbin/busybox umount -l /system
/sdcard/tmp/tune2fs -O +has_journal -c 5 -i 5d -m 0 -o journal_data_ordered /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
fsck.ext4 -Dfy /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
echo ...............done...............
echo ...............cache Partition...............
/sbin/busybox umount -l /cache
/sdcard/tmp/tune2fs -O +has_journal -c 100 -i 100d -m 0 -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
fsck.ext4 -Dfy /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache
echo ...............done...............
echo ...............data Partition...............
/sbin/busybox umount -l /data
/sdcard/tmp/tune2fs -O +has_journal -c 5 -i 5d -m 0 -o journal_data_ordered /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
fsck.ext4 -Dfy /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data
sync
echo ...............done...............
Semi-finished:
Flash journaling.zip via CWM to enable back journaling
Download
Download 'terminal emulator' from market and type the following to test if it works.
If 'has_journal' is present then journaling is enabled.
For /system
Code:
/system/bin/tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 | grep features
For /cache
Code:
/system/bin/tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 | grep features
For /data
Code:
/system/bin/tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 | grep features
Please post feedback if it works for you (fully)!
nice good work!
Thanks!
Another easy, though more time consuming, way to re-enable journaling is to let CWM do it by a complete backup and restore.
(You can also switch between ext3 and ext4 by changing the file names in clockworkmod/backup/.../ and of course also in the nandroid.md5 file.)
Please post feedback if it works for you (especially for data partition)

[Q] - Is my SGS broken ? Disk error ?

From the console I see this:
Code:
# mount | grep ro,
rootfs on / type rootfs (ro,noatime,nodiratime)
/dev/block/stl9 on /system type rfs (ro,noatime,nodiratime,vfat,log_off,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8)
tmpfs on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure type tmpfs (ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000)
/dev/block/dm-0 on /mnt/asec/com.dreamstep.wPicasaWeb-1 type vfat (ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,fmask=0222,dmask=0222,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)
#
What does it mean the last line ? Why it is mounted in ro ? Maybe during the mount the system founds disk errors and force to mount it in read-only mode ?
How can I check the filesystem ?
Thanks!

[HELP] broken lcd + after working with adb doesnt boot

Hey xda-community,
might be a long text to read but i want to make it as detailed as possible :/.
I have an i9070 with broken lsd (+touch not working) and pattern lock.
i booted into recoverymode (TWRP) and removed the pattern lock via adb shell ("rm /data/system/gesture.key").
i wanted to use [email protected] so i tried to activate USB Debugging via adb shell.
in the internet i found a method and tried it right away
i had to pull /system/build.prop
add the line "persist.service.adb.enable=1" in the file
and after that i had to push it back, but i couln't.
So i searched to mount /system r/w ..... (prob for the false device ,_, )
i tried the 1st command and forgot the 4 in ext4, so i typed it like this in the adb shell:
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
after that i was able to push the build.prob back, and used
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
afterwards.
Rebooted it and it stuck while booting prob.
So i tried the push back the original build.prop. (thought it might be the cause)
Still not booting..
I ended trying all commands without any order:
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
chmod 755 system
chmod 777 system
i used also mount..../mmcblk0p3 instead of mmcblk0p8 because after using "mount" it showed behind the /system mmcblk0p3 ...
i messed too much around as a newbie :crying:
I am still able to use adb in recovery mode but cant acces the internal storage.
Would be nice if someone could help me
Ty if you read the whole text .. ^^
