HeyHey people!
I was wondering, when I start Root Explorer I see at the top that I can mount it in "r/o and r/w" and when i click on "Mount r/w" it works.... but when I go into "system" folder it goes back to r/o... I can click on "Mount r/w" again but nothing happens....
I am wondering how I can change this because I need to copy over a service file but I can´t do that in r/o .....
It worked once but after I flashed to new rom it just wont work :||
Does anyone know how I can mount as r/w ?
THANX!
Just reinstall busybox and root from cwm bootmenu.

I moved Mms.apk and Mms.odex to /system/apps using Root Explorer, made sure that their permissions are right and they still don't show up in the app drawer. I'm stumbled...
Help?
Did you try and reboot the phone after pushing them to the app folder? Also make sure through Root Explorer that they did in fact push. Go back and check.

Just smack me.......
On the other hand, it's driving me nuts that /system mounts rw fine, but I still can't ./adb push anything - permission denied.
Run the command adb remount

Nada... tried that, tried the full one. mount shows it mounted rw, but can't write anything there. Only Root Explorer works for some reason...

what rom are you using?
OK, i have an Evo running Synergy RLS1 + GODMODE and the system is set as R/O. I need to gain access to /system/fonts anbd set to r/w. I have tried to use Root Explorer to no avail. I would like to permanently set /system/* to r/w and r/o at will. How would I go about doing that. I have tried using .ZIP files for Mount/Unmount system and tat still wouldn't let me change permissions to anything under /system. HELP.

I don't know that you can "permanently" set it to R/W but if you use Root explorer, go into /system/fonts and click "Mount R/W" at the top that should give you the read/write access you need.
I tried that in Root Explorer and it never sets it to r/w.

Are the fonts named correctly? Are you rebooting afterwards?
There's a thread with a ton of flashable font zips, you can try that. Or if you can't find a flashable zip of the font you want, there's directions for making your own in the thread I mentioned. I'll see if I can find it & link you to it.
Edit: Found the thread, but looks like Matty beat me to it. Also remember that when rebooting you need to do a full reboot. If you have fastboot enabled, powering off & back on might not be enough, you'll either need to choose reboot from the long-press power options or from an app, or pull the battery.

i have htc wildfire 2.2.1 stock rom with nFinity.kernel_mc2. i have tried to install juwe's ram script via rom manager but i dont see the folder or script in root explorer. i have also tried to create a new folder within root explorer to install manually but i get a warning saying "you cannot create a new folder here because the file system is read-only" any clues? thank you
On mine at the top where it tells you if system is r/o or r/w there's a button next to it that says mount r/w or mount r/o.

no how do i do that and what does it do?
Go back to the init.d folder and long press the script, choose permissions and set them all to read write and execute save then reboot.

You need to have a root explorer you can use ES File Explorer just make sure you go in settings and check for it to allow you to go up too root...
Once in root directory click the data folder, it is in there.

You need to change the r/w permissions of the file then reboot phone.

Thought I did that. Mind instructing me?
if using root Explorer.. Top will have a box that says "Mount as R/W" Click it. Open Editor to edit the file.. Make changes. Hit Save.. Close Root explorer, reboot phone, Profit. (These steps should work to show correct carrier, if something is wrong in post please add changes) thanks for shopping.

When you change the r/w properties just check them all I dont know what I neesa to be on exactly... when you edit the file there should of been 4 instances of "freegs3" that you change. After that make sure you save and reboot it should work

Finally got it u have to refresh and delete the bak files
I flashed moar and loved it but decided to give slimbean a try and now there's a folder in my internal memory that cannot be deleted.
I tried loading it onto a PC and deleting it. I've tried using a root explorer (ROM toolbox) and I've tried es file explorer. Anyone know how I can get rid of it?
Try using different file explorers, such as ones that require root maybe. Also try androzip qnd mount by tapping r/o and it should change to w/o and then try.
That's my best answer

Also. Twrp 2.5.0.0 had a file manager you can use. I confirmed that I can delete from it. Might be worth a shot, since it'll be done in recovery mode, when there's no way that the system would be using it.

Flash this in recovery and delete from it then do Menu > Exit, and reboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Make sure you mount system before flashing it though, or tell the file manager to mount all blocks on start
Love you guys. I didn't know Twrp had a file explorer. That worked like a charm.
Thanks!
