First, you need to install the drivers:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/d...R&prd_mdl_name=SPH-D700&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P
Then you must be rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775110
Next, get the most current SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the zip and put it where it's easiest for you to get to on Command Prompt. I put it in my C:\ for extremely easy access.
Now, open up Command Prompt and put in these commands in order
1.
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.
Code:
adb devices
3.
Code:
adb shell
4.
Code:
su
5.
Code:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
6.
Code:
cd /system/app
7.
Code:
ls
Now you should see a list of all the pre-installed Apps on your device. To remove these apps you must use this command:
Code:
rm "app_name.apk" or rm "odex_name.odex"
Here is a list of all the pre-installed apps on the stock Epic ROM and an explaination for most of them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773142
-------------------------
Here is my suggested list to use:
Code:
rm amazonmp3.apk[LEFT]rm Asphalt5_DEMO_ANMP_Samsung_D700_Sprint_ML.apk[/LEFT]
rm MediaHub.apk
rm nascar09-prod-release.apk
[LEFT]
rm sfl-prod-release.apk
[LEFT]
rm SN28-1092-sprint-signed.apk
[LEFT]
[LEFT]rm SprintTV.apk
[LEFT]rm SprintTVWidget.apk[/LEFT]
[/LEFT]
[/LEFT]
rm SprintZone.apk
[LEFT]rm MobileAP.apk - Only if you don't pay for the $30 hotspot[/LEFT]
rm MobileAP.odex - Only if you don't pay for the $30 hotspot

Titanium backup is easier and less time consuming then messing with ADB and is free.
Eh, not really. ADB is much more resourceful and has alot more uses and options if you learn how to use it. This is only one of it's uses. Titanium Backup is just a waste of space IMO. It is very limited on the free version.
Or you can use SDX App Removal if your interested in only removing the preinstalled apps (must be rooted).

At the expense of sounding like a noob, which I guess I am when it comes to Android, I'm getting a real-only error. I rooted with noobnl and Titanium Backup tells me I'm rooted. What might I be doing wrong?
Try using this as the mount command:
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Or better yet use one of the GUI options unless you are familiar with linux and save the headache. If all you want to do is remove apps there are far easier methods that are less time consuming. Titanium backup and SDX removal tool are both free.

Hmmm see I got that error too when I first did it, but then I did it again and it worked perfect lol...
Mine is Wildfire, I have some issues:
Can not do this:
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
or
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
But actual there exists a directory /system/app, in which I can see all the .apk and .odex files. When I tried to delete a file, it says that 'rm failed for File-Name, read-only file system'
What should I do? thanks

Now I can mount, to over come the read-only problem, however whenever I delete a file, it says that: rm failed for filename.apk, Directory not empty
You guys have any advice? thanks

I tried to reboot in HBOOT/Recovery/ Partition Menu, then mount /system. Then I could remove apps in adb shell successfully. can anyone confirm that doing like this is ok?
My wildfire was rooted with unrevoked3
If it works then it should be fine

This is confirmed to still work with the DI07 update
My noob question is I am using titanium backup to remove the sprint bloatware like media hub and it looks like the program removes it but when I exit titanium it is still on the phone.

Titanium backup is the mark of the noob in my opinion.
thanks, i had been searching around for the adb commands to mount the system r/w so i could remove the bloat.
SDX Stock App Removal is tops in my opinion.
Quick, simple, and allows for back-ups.
And I also don't think Titanium is the "Mark of the noob". It would be more like the "Mark of the ADB is unnecessary for stock application removal"
Also I don't think this should be in development. And if you know ABD commands you should know that.
This thread is okay....but sdx..and root uninstaller are awsome. Thanks for this guide though my friend very useful info for those that want to experiment with adb....

More options is a good thing. This is also helpful for the noobs who want to get their feet wet with unix/linux shell commands.
how do i open (mount) the factoryfs.rfs?
in linux or mac???
Sudo mount -o loop factoryfs.rfs /mnt
Only works if you are in the directory containing the rfs.

I have a rooted Nexus 7 running the Eclipse custom ROM. Somehow, I cannot mount file system for R/W using "mount/system (rw/ro)" app nor using ADB method. I'm not getting any error from the mount/remount, but I still read only file warnings. I don't have any problem getting the R/W right on Nexus phone using the same way I described. I'll appreciate your help.
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount, rw /system

I have no problem executing commands you listed, but read only.
I want to bind some folders from the internal sdcard to the external. But something doesn't work.
from command line, works flawless,
Code:
$ su
# mount -o bind /storage/ExtSdCard/Music /storage/sdcard0/Music
but when I try to put the line above in a script
script.sh:
Code:
mount -o bind /storage/ExtSdCard/Music /storage/sdcard0/Music
Result:
mount: No such file or directory
I don't know what I'm missing , any idea?
