Hi everyone,
I have been trying to enable the read and write on fonts folder by chmod
Unfortunately, nothing worked for me
everytime I write chmod 777 system/fonts/ on CMD it gives me an error message saying read only.
My device is rooted.
would appreciate any help
Thanks & Regards
Try adding su before chmod
For example
su chmod 777 directory
Thanks for your help C45hY
But that didn't work also
it says Permission denied
any clues???
/system is mounted read only
I know mopodo
How can I change it to read/write?

Exactly!
What you need to do is go to the terminal and type in the following commands:
Code:
su # gain root shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system #remount the /system partition read/writte

Remount script ready to go next post down.
Solved ...
The point of this: Save yourself the mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 command ..
The split kernel confused me... It's /sbin in clockwork and /system/bin otherwise...
-- Little buggy on the remount state command not working ... but the remount rw and remount ro do definietly change the state of /system.
Extract the file from the .rar archive.
Get yourself into your clockwork recovery then mount system from the partitions menu and then do as follows from command prompt on the computer...
adb push remount /system/bin
adb shell chmod 775 /system/bin/remount
adb reboot
Should be all set...
Would be awesome to see this in more roms... just handy... that's all...
going to work on a reboot recovery script so that from adb shell we can reboot recovery...

To install from CMD - Terminal
1. Download the fxps script. http://www.mediafire.com/?o525y4b4dewdvor
2. adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system
3. adb push fxps /system/bin/fxps
4. adb shell busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps
5. adb shell reboot
To Run it
1. adb shell fxps
2 adb shell reboot
To install from Terminal Emulator
"Download the fxps script and move it in your SD Card" http://www.mediafire.com/?o525y4b4dewdvor
$ su
# adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system (Puts the system in R/W mode)
# cp /sdcard/fxps /system/bin/fxps (Copys the script from SD Card to bin directory)
# chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps (Gives root access to the script)
# reboot
To Run it open the Terminal Emulator and enter
$ su
# fxps (It will start... When it finish reboot)
# reboot
This Script is not mine i just find it and gine it to you in simple way
Thanks the Dev of this Script i hope to see it in Power Menu some day...
Great tutorial but AFAIK all available recoveries have this built in as an option dont they?

Am I the only one who thought that the system-partition should be mounted from /dev/block/mtdblock3 ?
i believe it should be mtdblock3 or you can boot into recovery and just adb shell mount /system
Some people might find that after copying the flash_image to the sdcard you get a no permission error all you need to do in the adb shell as root is remount it as exec with this command and it should work
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
Make sure you chmod the flash_image with exec perms e.g
chmod 777 flash_image
then it's just a quick case of flashing the image with
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
now you have a custom recovery

Why? What error do you get?
Try to move/copy something into /tmp folder. It should work if you're rooted (your shell shows # instead of $).
If it doesn't work, maybe you have to remount your system as rw (read and write):
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /
after you made your modifications, mount it as ro (read only) again:
Code:
mount -o ro,remount /
If it still doesn't work, we need to see the error you get (copy and paste into this forum) while moving/coping something into /tmp.

Can you verify you entered that command as root?
Please do the following:
Do this on your computer to enter your devices shell
Code:
prompt_PC:~$ adb shell
Code:
prompt:~$ whoami
This should give you either "shell" or "root"
If it says "shell" do:
Code:
prompt:~$ su
prompt:~#
It will show a # instead of $ if you're root.
If you're already root (or you are now root due to su command), do:
Code:
prompt:~# mount -o rw,remount /
Now it should be writeable and you can do your modifications.
After you finished you need to change it to ro (read only) again:
Code:
prompt:~# mount -o ro,remount /
After that you can exit the shell:
Code:
prompt:~# exit
prompt:~$ exit
(first exits su, second exits shell)
I'm sorry if you already did that but I wan't to be sure you did it correctly.
If this procedere doesn't work, please copy and past your input and output into this forum as this might help to understand what's going on/failing etc.
