[Q] Problem with adb remount

OK I know this problem has been posted hundreds times before but i've read several of them but still can't find out what i did wrong. SO: I got my G2 rooted with S-OFF as i looked in the bootloader. I rooted the phone using rage method. So if i have my S-OFF that's obviously that i am rooted right?
And I definitely have my adb set up right cuz i could not root my phone if i didn't have adb set up. The question is Why every time I try to do adb remount, it will keep saying remount failed operation not permitted.
Even when I try doing adb shell and su it would say access denied too.
Just a little frustrating, What can i do to fix this?

I am not %100 if this is your problem but i think you need ENGINEERING HBOOT
to run adb commands ,you can do it by reading the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Z.2FG2.2FDHD.29_-_OPTIONAL_and_UNNECESSARY.21
But if you want to do it be very very carefull becasue if you do it wrong you will brick your phone and there is no way back

S-OFF is different from having your phone rooted, so it sounds like your rooting hasn't worked. If you have S-OFF and the eng hboot, you could use fastboot to flash Clockwork recovery and then install a custom pre-rooted ROM.
Or you will need to go through the rooting procedure again to see what has gone wrong.

If that's the case that my phone hasn't been rooted. My rom manager worked. I flashed clock work successfully and I did checked that I had it by rebooting into recovery. I even used n1 torch high brightness to make sure I was rooted. Then extra step was asking su in my terminal emulator too. But I still had hboot.img tho. Should I do an engineering hboot ?

If you can boot into CWM recovery just flash a custon rom they all have root built into them.

Should fix any problems with mounting, heres a link for a stock rooted rom, so she wont be able to tell the diffrence, also since you can boot into CWM recovery make a backup of your current rom before flashing this:

The ADB remount command requires the ro.secure property to be set to 0 (even if you are rooted). If you want to remain on the stock ROM, flashing the linked ROM will do it for you (and is way easier than doing it yourself manually). Most (if not all) of the custom ROMs will set this property for you if you wanted to try others as well.

Thank you guys very much. I never faced this problem before since my n1 was rooted and flashed rom using the phone not adb our anything related to computer.so thanks guys. Case closed. Happy me lol

Need Help Testing for Temp Root in DL17

Folks,
I need someone on DL17 to test for root access. Due to the small community, I haven't heard if anyone is rooted on DL17.
While I can build kernels and get clockwork working for DJ20, for DL17, I need the stock kernel dumped, and for that I need root.
Steps:
1. Go to Index of /files and download rage.bin. (right click, save as)
2. Copy or adb push rage.bin to /data/local/tmp on your phone.
3. In adb shell:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rage.bin
Then
Code:
/data/local/rage.bin
It will give you a wall of text. Wait a few minutes, hit ctrl-c to close adb shell, then type
Code:
adb kill-server
Then do adb shell again. It should (hopefully) take you to a # prompt. Please report back.
Thanks.

You can flash a kernel with adb commands.

Im fully aware how to. Most are not. Its for them, not for me. I rather make it easy than hard.

Rooting G2 "unable to chmod /: read-only file system"

Hi All,
I am trying to root the G2, but am afraid to continue. I followed the Wiki precisely and got to this step.
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it just returns a error message saying
Unable to chmod /: Read-only file system

Here is the wiki I am following: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Try the command(s) as a single line:
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
Kind Regards,
Kevin

It still says the same thing unfortunately...

Think I figured it out. You are using this 2.2 root method on a 2.3 ROM? chmod from shell/terminal does not work on 2.3.3/2.3.4 without already having su. Will need to look at other ways to root (several ways posted in this forum) if you are.

Thank you, you are probably right. I was just using the wiki and figured it was up to date. Yes I am trying to root post Android 2.3 update.
I will search for other methods now. Thanks again!

newtybar, which guide u've used? Still searching for solution to downgrade/root Gingerbread OTA on Desire Z.

If you are on Gingerbread you should be using a downgrade guide first found here. Then you can do the rooting and s-off guide found in the wiki. If you have questions you can used IRC (if you're familiar with it) and go to #g2root where they do know what they're doing.

[Q] MOD Question? Will this work for our phone?

Will this mod posted at the original inc. work for our phone as well?

Before I flashed it I figured I would see if anyone tried it out.

It shouldn't hurt anything to try it. Just do a backup in recovery first then flash. If you have any problems you can easily go back that way. Only way to know for sure if it'll help with battery life is to try it. There should be no ill effects with doing so. Worst case scenario would be a bootloop in which case you have your backup. Next worse case... It does nothing for you.

Ok Cool. I wasn't sure what negative things could happen if I flashed it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm going to flash it tomorrow and see how it goes.

Just fyi, I went a head and set it up on mine with no issues. Can't say anything for battery life yet, too early to tell.

I just flashed it on MIUI no problems, but I don't think it is compatible with this rom.
I ran "grep busybox /init.rc" in terminal and it is giving me permission denied.
I am assuming MIUI is not support "init.d".
Do you know if your cm 7.2 is supported by this?

Type su before the command. I believe miui has init.d support though. I've never run it myself though. But I think it does.

Yes, I got the pop up and i granted it access. I was still getting permission denied in some lines when i typed in the codes in the terminal.

It made minimal improvement if any at all for me.

Probably means your ROM doesn't support init.d, the OP in the thread you linked said to use dsixda's kitchen, try finding that with google.

Sorry didn't get you question, well I'm glad you finished the guide, easy huh?
Rizzoizzo made a great guide on flashing the first rom for beginers, check out the general section and it will be within the first few pages. Pretty much just pick a rom, put on sd and boot to recovery, there you will flash it, then reboot
Now that you are rooted there are many new tweaks and mods to do but first grab a custom rom, you will find those in the developers section

Yep that's the right thread, be sure to thank rizzoizzo
There are many many roms that everything works so its hard to pick one for you, it all depends on you. If you like sense they tend to be slower than cm and other aosp roms but may be prettier
If you need 100% no issues the closest would be something with a gingerbread base but newer roms work damn near perfect too. Try some out and see where it gets you
