Can't mount with root explorer? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I am trying to edit some stuff in the system, but root explorer won't mount, if i press the mount r/w nothing happens. I have also tried es explorer with the "mount file system" checked and i just get a "sorry, operation failed". I am rooted and have given them both su permission. I tried having su forget the apps and regive them permission, didn't help. Rebooted, fixed permissions and still a no go. Any one have any ideas? I am running stock rom and kernel.

Did you restore a nand backup with cwm 5026 or 5027?

Restored a nand backup of stock rom with 5026. Is that the problem?

Other people have been having this problem with nand restores too. The only solution I've seen is a wipe and fresh install.

Flash this thru recovery: http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip It will update the su app and binary. Also make sure busybox is installed correctly.

Boot up the phone and use a file explorer to go to /system/bin and make sure there is a file called su. Also try to go to the mannage applications menu and clear the data for the superuser app. If it still dosent work i would try reflashing cwm thru hboot and then try flashing superuser again.

Can't mount system as r/w...

For some reason my system is locked as r/o and i can't do anything..rooted stock 4.03 and ds kernel
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Ok what i had to do was restore my phone and start it without the sim card and then freeze device management and them put the card back in...maybe TMobile is sending some type of lock? Anyone else?

Are you using SuperSU? I was having issues with that not granting root permissions correctly, so my root apps wouldn't do anything that requires root.. i.e mount r/w

Cannot sideload apk

I cant seem to side load any apk. It wont allow me to press install but I can press cancel. Any ideas?
Cleared package manager cache and Fix permissions worked for me.

Thanks. I'm not rooted so I guess I will have to factory reset. This is really odd. Never had this happen on any of my android devices so it got me stumped.
I rooted and flashed cwm. Clearing dalvik and cache along with change permission didnt fix it. Had to factory reset and was able to side load. Gonna restore my files back via TB and hopefully it wont happen again.

I think the app is confused. Root is installed in /system, so if it found root, then /system is mounted. Lots of things wouldn't work if /system isn't mounted

I ran into a similar problem when trying to root where recovery said system wasn't mounted. Fixed by stock restore and starting over

Flash stock recovery and do a system restore from there. Will bring it back to stock. Then use a kit to root and install recovery. Works lots better

Help please

So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

What rom did you install? It's probably under /0 folder.

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock
Sent from my SCH-R760 using Tapatalk
In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Okay I have it some what fixed I found my backups in the ROM manager app. But can't find them through a file manager app. But my back up is in my phone some where but only accessible from ROM manager.

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it
