I have...
Nexus one
FRF91, android 2.2
Radio: 4.06.00.12_7
Recovery: Recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1
I fallowed all the steps on unlockr.com to root my N1. I see the Superuser Permissions installed, but I still don't have root access. I attempted to delete the amazon mp3 app from my phone with the fallowing command:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*amaz*
and I'm replied with a Read-only error. Also, when I installed Titanium Backup, i was not able to gain root access after SU prompted me for permission (i allowed).
I have tried to re-root the device, but I'm told by superboot (updated FRF91 version) that the device has been rooted.
you gotta remount the /system to make big changes like that..
so you would go
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/amazon.apk
and should remove it from there.. you can also get terminal emu from market and use that with in terminal

I just got the N1 yesterday, was on the MT3G before it. Another little step I need to remember.
Thank you, it worked perfectly.
np and welcome
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.
Sorry if this is posted already but ii couldnt find it anywhere.
ok so i was kinda dumb when i uninstalled the stock moto blur homescreen. is there a way to install the app back into the system folder so its back where it was? rooted droid 4 verizon. thanks for the help.
Download the homescreen.apk (attached file has link) and put the apk into the same location as adb.
Turn on your phone and plug it into your computer.
Using adb(a how-to is in the attached file as well):
Code:
> adb devices
> adb push homescreen.apk /tmp/
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/system /system
# cp /tmp/homescreen.apk /system/app/
Make sure your device displays after running "adb device" (long string of numbers and characters followed by device).
After the last line, wait a few moments and the homescreen should appear. =)

So, I went to fastboot and flashed my stock system image, recovery, boot....
booted up and it works fine.
But, I'm still rooted, even though the backup wasn't. wat.
so, now I'm on a fully stock system with root, and need to unroot. how do I?
In order to create an image of your system partition, your device needs to be rooted. Since 'root' is on the system partition, it will be rooted when you restore it again.
Open Android Terminal Emulator or adb shell and enter the following:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/su
Voila, root gone!

System is read only right now, and I'm not familiar wnough with adb shell to flip it to rw...
edit: luckly, I know my way both around Google, and around the linux terminal.
mounted as RW, removed, rebooting the tablet now. if it takes I"ll restore it and see if it sticks there too. thank you!
Oh yeah, you might want to remount the system partition first
I'll edit my response accordingly.
When I plug phone into GearVR, it detects phone and starts entering the oculus home, but it doesn't render in SBS, instead it's rendering full screen in landscape mode? There is also no movement from head...
I checked services and none are blocked.
Has anyone encountered this?
Turns out that user account couldn't read the libGLESv3.so symlink, hot fixed it using the following
adb shell
su
cd /system/lib
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm libGLESv3.so
cp libGLESv2.so libGLESv3.so
chmod 644 libGLESv3.so
