Hi, I'm s-off, rooted, busy box installed and custom kernel with wpmod. I have to write in sys to overwrite the awb_cal file in /sys/android_camera_awb_cal, but i can't write in sys. I can't even create a new folder. Can i push the file in sys using fast boot and adb? I had the idea to change the file in custom rom zip, but the folder sys is not present in there..Please help me!

HI
I am running sok 4.7.8 on a Samsung i9000 and need to disable VSF. I know the SOK thread mentions to place a special script in the /etc/init.d directory but it is not available on my phone. I used a file browser with root access to search for it.
Any ideas?

Did you mount the partition as RW??And if you still cannot copy files to /system that means you have partial root.Start over again from first...
Hey! Did not do anything with partition. Just entered into CWM mod and copied busybox. That's it.

Try rootexplorer to paste any file to /system partition to verify you have full root(donot forget to mount it as RW).Many people have reported partial roots on ICS.But donot do any wipe in recovery....

Ockies. I will try root explorer. I was using explorer to copy some files in system/lib folder but it said operation failed.
Sorry mate! Could tell us step by step how exactly you did it and can you post busybox.zip that you used?

Why is it i cannot delete those 2 folders in any explorer in my internal? It it something to do in permision or something else? Need you help here tia
Which error you have from the explorer?
However, if you will erase all your sd, do a full wipe when you're flashing a new rom

Same problem here. Just managed to delete them entering in recovery TWRP (I have) and advanced file manager select and delete the Viper4android folder. Hope will help others.

Good. You could also have deleted them by using a root explorer and looking for them in /data/media/0 instead of /sdcard.

Hey Guys,
I got a simply question, I got root but I don't know if I got FULL ROOT, How to check that?
Yes, on Play Store there are 1000 of apps but I don't trust them.
Any commands from Terminal to Determine if I have Full Root?

Uhm open a terminal and make a file in "/system" I guess. You can do that using the following command: "touch /system/roottest.txt".
Better answer provided here.

Get root in terminal first by typing
Code:
su
Then mount system as RW and make a directory by typing
Code:
mount -o remount,rw system
mkdir /system/test
or, mount system using root explorer and then do this
Code:
su
mkdir /system/test
Trust me, you have full root....
Ok.
I just Check in.

A bit confused here with that code....
adb shell mount -o remount,rw system
mkdir /system/test[/code]
It have to be like that in Terminal?

Check his post again, he corrected himself.

@gregbradley
I think I have a problem, what you think? It tells me that system/test is Read-Only..
use root explorer to mount system then try the mkdir again
or just root explorer to mount system..as soon as you can do that you have root.....
Full root just means you keep root after a reboot and the security of the RIC has been disabled

I am not familiar with that, which Root Explorer are you referring too?

root explorer
look on the play store
or use any explorer that can gain root...and just modify something in system...change permission, delete or make a file...
if you just reboot your phone and run an app that requires root and it works then you have full root.

There is no need... I am really unsure on why you are asking this. Seeing as you have posted loads of help posts about this I would expect you to know the difference and know that you have full root.
Trust me, you have it.

If you are not allowed to modify system that's because is not mounted as Rw. Go to ES, make sure you have turned on root explorer and then click on root explorer. A pop up will appear, then select where says mount system as Rw.

You see! OMG! That was the stupid thing...sooo stupid! You are the man. Now everything is working.
ES was granted by Su and it now allow me to modified System files and folders.
After executing the commands in Terminal I find a new folder named "test" in System. Thanx to @gregbradley
Thank you all!
