Hi all,
I unlocked, rooted and s-off'd my First, but /system is still un-writable for whatever reason. Anyone know the quickest way to resolve this?
Thanks.
Oops, nevermind, I figured it out. Easy as going:
# mount -o rw,remount /system
Idk after s-off I was able to wrote just fine

Can Galaxy S users backup their bootup animations for me? I want to get rid of as much of the AT&T crap as possible.
They are as follows
Startup
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
Thanks

Thanks! Going to try them out now
Just wanted to add that they work fine, now just to figure out how to flash a different boot image to get rid of the AT&T World Phone logo.
Why dont you flash with the GT-I9000 rom and say goodbye to At&t everything?

Didn't they free the brothers back in January 1865?
Hi,
How did you get these into the right folders?
What commands did you use?
Tried root explorer and su file manager and they won't paste ther files into system/etc or system/media.
adb gives a no access and can't use adb remount to push file.
So I am stuck.
Thanks

hm.i guess that would not be a good idea as they are not 100% the same. replacing the custom stuff is the easy and secure solution for the time being.

I used Root Explorer and copied them. You would have to mount the /system folder with RW permissions in ADB or just click the Mount RW button in Root Explorer before copying them over.

This is the reason why, the generic Galaxy S FW does not work with the Captivate.
Hi,
For some reason root explorer wouldn't paste these.
But I did figure out a way with adb.
I copied all 3 files to my sdcard 1st
These are the commands I used in case they are of help to anyone:
D:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /s
# busybox cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /system/etc
busybox cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /system/etc
and
D:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
# busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/med
busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media
# busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media
busybox cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media
Thanks

Thanks for posting this, exactly what I was looking for!
Hi all,
I've successfully unrooted in order to return the phone for a replacement but I'm still seeing the superuser permissions app.
My method for unrooting was opening up terminal on my phone and using this code:
Code:
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
Now it all worked fine and dandy except it was unable to find Superuser.apk
**Forgot to mention that I'm on Tmobile with the Samsung Vibrant**
Found a fix. Had to re-root and remove it with the following code in the phone's terminal application:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then just proceeded with another unroot and factory reset.
I know, this is very old but... Nobody said thanks, and i really needed to remove the FrEaGiN application, i tried everything but this solution was the only one wich helped me out, thank you!

Thank you for posting this info. This was a needle in a hay stack. I did not want to ODIN back and I needed Superuser removed from my device for the company Zenprise app. Does not work on Rooted phones.

very useful, I saved it for the future. If any app gets hard to eliminate, now i have the solution, thanks
Yeah, you can also use Titanium Backup or any of the other "Uninstallers" around.
And how to only remove Superuser data?
I mean, I want Superuser to ask me again if I grant or not superuser-permision.
I need this because I have in Superuser 5 times Titanium Backup.
All has the same id but only one has the Titanium Backup icon and the other doesn't.
And if I try deleting the app from the list... the app just go to "Denied" but still there.
So, I want to delete the whole data so I get a clean list of apps.
Thanks a lot!

Try going into Superuser and deleting what you want. Or simply change it to granted

It did work when I deleted Supeuser data from Settings>App>All.
Thanks for your idea... but that did not work.
Just had a thought. Re-root your phone then try using a root explorer to remove it from /System/apps.

Hi, I know this was posted a long time ago but I was wondering if you could help me. I bought a rooted Sprint evo a while ago and now I can't unroot it. I can't uninsured Superuser and it's not even listed in my downloaded apps. Do you know of anyway that I'd be able unroot?
Currently I'm trying to gain access to /system and mount it as read/write. I've tried using
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtd3 /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it's not working. It says nothing afterward. I've noticed that it now says "sh-3.2#" instead of just "#" or "$" as it used to... Could this be the problem? What does it mean?
This is what I see:
C:\Users\Sam>cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
sh-3.2# su
su
sh-3.2# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Help?
Just typing adb remount (while not in shell) will mount system read/write. The other command is for terminal on the phone mostly
And you won't get any confirmation but an echo

Hopefully not thread-jacking but I have a similar problem. I get:
remount failed: Operation not permitted.
Now what?
Sounds like adb isn't granted su permissions. Adb shell, do you see a # prompt? If not, type su, then watch your phone to allow. Then type exit, then adb remount

Yup, already did all that. Still no dice. Wtf, right?
open the superuser app and 'forget' adb to redo it maybe?
I did get some kind of error that set something about root access not being allowed in the production version of adb/sdk or something? I'll have to reproduce that error so I can post it here.

Found another thread on another board. I just flashed amon ra's recovery and booted up from there, and it appeared to let me copy!
But then it wouldn't let me cd to system/app. It let me cd to system, but not to app. Weird... I booted back up and there's no evidence of the "copied" apk, anywhere.
SOOOO confused now...

But I need the oem rom to receive the OTA update to Froyo, lol. I have busybox through titanium backup but maybe i should download it on my own. Available in the market, correct?
For now I'm going to flash the tmus rom (ota update cm6 remix) to see if this tmo froyo thing is even worth the trouble. Oy vey...
I bet cm6 will still beat out your official update

Now I'm not trying to be like that. Lol just saying. I installed it on my buddy's mt3g and he loves it. Runs smooth as butter.

Hi fellow developers, is there any way to disable logcat in gingerbread rooted rom JVK with CF root 3.1.
thanks in advance.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Why would You want to do that?
why not to improve performance?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You could try:
logcat-disable
That probably wouldn't work, though, with a stock kernel.
You could also try deleting the folder /dev/log (delete 'log'. Do NOT delete /dev/)
You would have to be rooted:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /dev/
rm /dev/log/*
The mount line may need to be different in order to actually mount, since it varies by device.
If that works, it would most likely be lost after any reboot.
It's worth trying, anyway.

i have tryit but i have the lattest of busybox any other ideas?
Do you have Titanium Backup? I hope it is no dangerous operation so maybe anybody can prove me right, but you could try to uninstall it via TB, reboot, get the latest version of SU and try to reinstall it...
Remount your /system manually.
mount -o rw,remount /system
Then reupdate..

If you cant do it manually go to the market and download mount system rw app. It should work after that.
