[Q] ADB remount: operation not permitted

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

Whenever i've try to use the remount command it get this error:

So what am im doing wrong? running WIn 7 64 bit and my tablet is set to usb debugging mode.
Been searching Google and XDA the couple of days but haven't found any solution.
In advance thanks, jakk212

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

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:

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

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
Bye

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...
Bye

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.

Thats fantastic! will try this as soon as an image file gets posted! Hopefully it wont be long till it will be running ICS!

Can confirm root as I'm currently running it on my tablet. Bliss did it himself and is going to package it and release it in a couple of hours.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work with this.

Thanks for sharing this it worked great, except for the instructions I needed to use

rather than

to match the name of your file.
Thanks again for sharing, CWR seems to be running perfectly.
Also for those looking for root the exploit has been posted here.

have you tried usiing rom manager? ¿? I have not had the chance if not I would test currently backing up using titanium backup
Sent from my ThinkPad Tablet using Tapatalk

I installed it. It works. Though /sdcard cannot be found and backup doesn't work. But I'm sure these will be figured out in the near future

I've got it installed just fine and even got the back up files
Gonna do a clean install and then see about dumping the images

ClockworkMod Recovery boots for me and was backing up but failed while it was backing up /data for me (I have tried twice now). It seems to backup /system just fine though, I don't know why it would fail during the /data backup. Has anyone else successfully made a backup yet?

failed to restart in recovery for me (exactly as redBaron)
Try to install CWM 3 times
OK, booting in recovery works fine, but NOT via Rom Manager !
(only by pressing and releasing vol+ button when booting)

Yes ... one has to take great care with naming files ... I did something similar and used Root Explorer to rename the cwr file correctly.

recovery
still not workign for me.
tried to re-install it a few times
when i boot in recovery with Vol++ i see the booting into recovery message and then after a second or so vibrate again and start normal boot

I am very excited to see this news - though i'm going to wait until there is a semi-stable, well establish path for Root. Hopefully this achievement leads to the Thinkpad Tablet getting much more attention, its a pretty badass tablet and should prove to be a pretty good performer once all the Lenovo crapware is tossed out. Glad I remained faithful and patient!

[TOUCHRECOVERY]CWM 5.8.0.0 Touch Recovery for DesireHD<Noob Friendly>

Here is a nood friendly tutorial for fastboot flashing the new CWM Touch Recovery .
Download the zip file attached and extract it anywhere .
LE:\\ You need ENG S-OFF and a rooted phone , too.
Your phone needs to be in debugging mode and you need the lastest usb drivers instaled . ( HTC Sync )
FLASHING VIA FAST BOOT :
Step 1 : Run Start Here.bat , a comand promt window will open.
Step 2 : Type in "adb reboot bootloader" . <This works on every rom , it will reboot in fastboot mod.>
Step 3 : After the phone rebooted in fastboot , type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img" .
Step 4 : You have your Touch Recovery flashed .
UPDATE TO LASTEST VERSION :
Step 5 : Download and install "ROM Manager" from Android Market.
Step 6 : Open ROM Manager , and select "Flash ClockworkMod Touch".
Step 7 : Confirm your phone model and in about 20 seconds a message should appear "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery!" press ok and you are done.
FLASH VIA BOOTLOADER (Without enghboot) : //Thx. nteeb
nteeb said:
For those who don't have enghboot.
The recovery is flashable from bootloader if you pack it in a PD98IMG.zip.
I tried it,this is the zip,use if you want:
PD98IMG.zip

If you are unable to flash recovery do this and try again : //THX. CostaTX
CostaTX said:
Connect phone via usb and turn on debugging/just charging
Open up cmd (eventually as administrator) and type in "adb shell"
Find out how your system partition is named: "cat /proc/mounts | grep /system"
Mount system partition write/read. replace the X's "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/XXXXX /system"
Use the terminal emulator to install the recovery:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/touch.img (or whatever the recovery image is named)
remount the system partition again as read only "mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/XXXXX /system
and you're done

Donate to ClockworkMod for awesome job .

A new version of recovery (5.8.1.5) is available here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

You can also use Terminal Emulator: (I prefer to place the .img file in the root of the SD card and rename the image to something simple like touch.img so I don't have to type the long name from my phone)
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/touch.img (or whatever the recovery image is named)
reboot recovery
Enjoy!

hello, this method does n't work for me, tried in fastboot with adb, same.... it's showing "remoot error" or something lik that

Do you have S-off? That error usually indicates you do not, and it is required for this method... Any luck using Terminal Emulator, as described two posts above?

Two thoughts: when you download the recovery image its actually named something like touch-recovery-ace-5.8.0.2.img; if you want to just type in touch.img in Terminal Emulator you need to rename the file that you downloaded. If you have already done this then you may not have busybox installed (CM and MIUI do, I don't know for sure about other ROMs). To test, from Terminal Emulator type "busybox"; if it's installed, you will get a list of available commands.

I had indeed already renamed the file to touch.img.

i ran cmd as admin but i still get the same error. when i try installing it via terminal emulator it also says "file not found". idea?

Do you have ENG S-off (different from just rooting)? That error usually indicates you do not, and it is required for the OP method... You might try updating Busybox (search Market for Busybox Installer) if you are sure when using Terminal Emulator that the path and filename are correct.
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk

I do have eng s-off . i was able to update the the recovery in the first place. i updated busybox and su-binaries as well but still got the same error. rebooted the phone just in case but still got the errors.
i can't say if it would have worked flashing via fastboot, now with the updated busybox. I'll give it a try when i'm back home. I believe it won't work neither. Maybe you got another idea?
edit: nothing changed using fastboot

So just to confirm, you only have this problem flashing the touch recovery, and can flash other versions of CWM just fine (using fastboot or terminal)?

Thanks for the guide, but I have a problem. When flashing the .img file, I get the following error:
sending 'recovery' (3554 KB)... OKAY [ 0.633s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.634s
I have S-OFF, but not ENG S-OFF. Is it possible to flash this without ENG S-OFF?
ROM Manager Premium says: "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!"
The internet connection and the SD card are of course all right...
Edit: I read that "Engineering HBOOT is required to flash the recovery area remotely." How can I flash the recovery on the phone (not remotely)?

i've tested flashing a non-touch recovery right now but nothing changed. i noticed that flashing a recovery via rom manager works without any problem.

I read a while back that some users (from a G1 forum, so may not be as helpful, but it's an idea) had to mount the recovery partition r/w manually from fastboot. I'll see if I can find the link... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...e-busybox-flash_image-more-app.html#post87383
That might fix your error while flashing from fastboot, but it seems the issue with terminal emulator is that it's not recognizing the flash_image command. The above link also has instructions for installing flash_image which may be the key!

I downloaded this file: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.zip
Is it safe to install this zip (which is a recovery) in recovery?

busybox was already installed so i skipped this part and started with installing the recovery right away. I don't know why i'm not able to remount the system partition as read only at the end. It looks like as if everything seems to have worked properly but the touch recovery is not showing up.

[CF3D] Help please! Couldn't find a solution..I'm stuck!!

Okay I've done enough research before deciding to make this post but couldn't find any solution.
Situation is I tried to install CF3D using CWM and now I'm stuck at the black boot screen that says GT N7000.
I tried to log into ADB shell and execute /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh since that is the general solution but it seems I do not have the file there. Can someone give me the sh file if they have or tell me how to remove the drivers manualls through the ADB shell so that I can boot back normally. I did not backup before doing this..and I guess today isn't my day! Please help me remove the drivers! It's a little urgent.
I am new to the ADB shell concept and these are the commands I executed after connecting:
adb devices
adb shell
su
ls -d */
cd system
cd lib
sudo cf3d_uninstall.sh
Here it says that the file isn't found.
Edit: Nevermind.. Restoring back to CM9 for tonight...

tried these ?
sh system/lib
sh /cf3d_uninstall.sh

Should I just execute the contents of this shellscript via ADB? I found these on Google Code
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw -o remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
stop

Resolved (for me) :
I actually had the same error using the same command you did. You made a mistake though : when using an "sh" script, you have to invoke it's command, simply using "sh" before the name of the script you attempt to launch.
This is the way you have to go :
you should have typed : "sudo sh cf3d_uninstall.sh"
I actually managed to get it to work this way, and to stop boot loop / freeze (call it whatever you want), as it actually DID uninstall CF3D faulty drivers.
DO NOT USE CF3D with Jelly Bean, at the moment at least. Though Chainfire wrote he wouldn't develop anymore his drivers for JB, as it would need too much coding, again. Stick to GB or even ICS (it used to work for me)
--------
Full technique :
Prerequisites :
-CWM
-Aroma File Manager : Download it here :
Way to go :
-Take out your SD card from your device
-Copy Aroma FM to your Ext. SD Card using a microSD adapter (you can find one at any classical SD card retailer for a few bucks)
-Stick it back in your device
-Launch ClockWorkRecoveryMod
-"Install zip file"
-"Install from SD Card'
-Choose Aroma FM zip file, and install it.
-Tap on option key to get option menu, and launch the shell
-Then type :
su
cd system
cd lib
sh cf3d_uninstall.sh
Your device will automatically reboot, and boot your system normally.

Installing The Xposed Framwork Without root!

Hello guys!!
I just had found a way to install the xposed framwork without have to root the device!
This is usefull if your devices is unrootable or if you don't want to root your device!
If it will not work for you, pm me and tell me what kind of device you had trying, the Android build version and finally the kernel version of the device.
How it work;
On some device (before the version 5.0 of Android{until I found another way to push this unthetered}) you can mount the system partition as read/write (WR) and add files or folder inside, but if you're Android device have a "locked bootloader", it's can make fails the process.
What your need ;
1. The Busybox binary compatible with your kind of devices (armv6, armv7...)
2. The Xposed apk installed on your devices
3. Android 4.0.1 to 4.4.4 (for the moment)
4. A computer
5. ADB installed
To begin, open your terminal (CMD on windows)
connect your device to you're computer with USB.
Type these commands;
adb wait-for-device
adb shell "cd /data/local && mkdir tmp"
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/ && rm *"
adb push /WHERE/IS/THE/BUSYBOX/FILE/busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 775 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox cp -a /system/bin/app_process /system/bin/app_process.orig
adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/bin/app_process /system/bin/app_process
adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox chown 0:2000 /system/bin/app_process
adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 0755 /system/bin/app_process
adb shell reboot system
For the moment this is only compatible with androis 4.0.1 to 4.4.4.... I work for above version!
Tested and work on:
SAMSUNG Galaxy Exibith 4g Stock Rom 4.1.2
SAMSUNG Galaxy Exibith 4g custom unrooted Rom Slim 4.1.2
Sony Xperia ion Lt28h stock rom 4.4.2
Sony Xperia Arc stock rom 4.2.2
Htc desire 601 stock ROM 4.4.4
(Edit: At this moment I had found a way to install xposed framework to 5.0->6.1.1 but if your reboot you lost all and on some device (like my Samsung S6 Edge+) you stuck on a bootloop or (like my S7 edge (on 6.1)) you get a soft break.. I take my freetime to find this, but with my school that going start soon, I will be not very free to find exploit... 23/8/2017:10h32AM)

Does busybox function without root? I didn't think so.

When it push on thé sandbox (/data/local/tmp) and make like executable, it work. The fonction "mount -o remount,rw /system" put the system partition in read/write mode... My brother wanted Xposed for some tweak but hhe hate root (i dont know why) and hé uses Xposed freely like me with all of m'y rooted device...
This is sure not all fonction of busybox work fine but its do the job.

Having busybox installed doesn't allow mounting of the system partition(unless someone messed up and didn't mount the system as read only, or the system unknowingly grants the user superuser permissions), it's read-only, which requires su to enable mounting as read-write.

Just try it but the commande adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system return "mount: mounting /dev/block/dm-0 on /system failed: Permission denied"

i got the same error..can anyone help me!?
when i gave the command adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
and errror displayed was :- mounting /dev/block/dm-0 on /system failed: Permission denied
