any help is appreciated.

You need to go into root admin.
Use the command "Su" to get into root shell

Hi, thanks I've tried that and get the same issues?

After su command was sent through ADB, have you granted access on the pop up screen that appears at first use?
- Reset (unplug and plug back in) unit
- let it boot into main menue
- connect through ABD
- at adb shell prompt type su
- enter
- A pop up screen should appear on your TV asking you to grant access for su
- using your FireTV remote select yes and press OK.
- see if issue is solved

Sorry to pick this up again. But i have the same Issue. How have you installed TWRP?
Thanks

I used King root, then installed a custom rom, had too many problems trying to install twrp previously.

Thank you
so you used this guide http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root...covery-and-a-pre-rooted-rom-all-without-a-pc/ with your rooted Fire Tv2?

i used this guide http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root-the-fire-tv-2-using-kingroot-no-usb-cable-required/. but at the time if i remember i updated my box to stock update 5.0.5 from 5.0.4 then rooted again.

Hi, the trick is to use this Guide http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root-the-amazon-fire-tv-2/
Worked perfectly

I know this is an old thread but I'll post what worked for me just in case...
On ADBLink, select Root → Mount /system RW. This will make /system writable.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I switch back to RO (read only) once I was done with my changes.

[Q] HELP!!! Lcd Density Problem !!

Hi everybody,
Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian,
I've a problem with my a100 with stock ics. yesterday i've rooted it and i've installed lcd density modder. now, i've do a mistake and saved the dpi instead of temp apply. after the reboot the home won't start cause it freeze. i can only have access to settings i can't access the lcd density app. i've tried to reset to factory but it's still the same. Can anyone help me ?
thanks
Use adb to pull build.prop from /system use some text editor to open it and find this line ro.sf.lcd_density= and change it to ro.sf.lcd_density=160 then reboot.
The exact commands are :
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot
thank you so much, resolved
can you explain how to pull it up into the text editor i'm afraid i have the same problem and found this thread i enter the pull command and recieve this in cmd prompt:
C:\Users\Owner>adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

Open your editor and then open build.prop in it.
Or name it build.txt then edit it then save as build.prop.

i was rooted before i factory reset i went through the adb root method which is basicaly how i achieved root to begin with except i used a cmd prompt terminal app and did it all on my tablet and now i'm not sure i never had a "full" root idk how to explain that but it told me i was rooted and could run root apps and such but it still limited me on a few things if this helps i have
"bootloader 0.03.06-ics (unlocked)"
it came stock with gb or honeycomb i had to find a .zip file to get ics
now i've tried to adb root again and failed i'm not sure why...

OK time for info then. What ROM are you on? What recovery? Why did you use a method other then one intended for the a100? Being rooted but limited is probably due to missing or bad busy box installation.
Tapatalked from my A100 - Kuroikaze B3
i used an update zip for what i believed to be a stock ics rom and i rooted with a method that was intended for the a100:
Download the su binary from here.
Hook your device to the computer via USB cable.
Copy the su binary file to /mnt/sdcard/ on your tablet.
Open a command prompt on your Windows computer.
Change directory to where ADB is located. (This is usually the /tools or /platform-tools directory inside the Android SDK installation directory.)
Type in the following commands at the terminal (press Enter after each command):
adb shell /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch ‘`mount -o remount,rw /system`’
adb shell /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch ‘`cat /mnt/sdcard/su >/system/xbin/su`’
adb shell /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch ‘`chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su`’
Install the Superuser app from the Android Market.
i used this method but i used terminal emulator on my tablet i didn't use adb
here is the update zip i used for ics- this is the error i get trying to attach the zip file:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Use the script as intended. From the PC. If you go running them on the tab itself you may have missed one somewhere.
You can't attach a file that large to a post.

can not mount system in read-write mode using adb without recovery mode

I wanted to change my device model, so I copied build.prop from another mobile to my mobile. I am already rooted. But unfortunately I did not change the o.s. from gingerbread to froyo in build.prop ( I have android 2.2 FROYO) When I rebooted, there were many errors. It is now showing no sim card. Mobile network search gives error. Effectively, I can not use the mobile. Terminal emulator, X-plore etc. stopped working. Only Rom toolkit free version works and astro file manager works. Other programs are forcefully closed. Needles to say, I must replace new build.prop with new one.
Using adb I can only pull files but can not write as it is in read only mode.
adb root and adb remount works only if you are in recovery mode ? Y mobile does not have any custom recovery so when I boot in recovery mode it hangs.
Superuser has installed su in system\bin directory. But from adb shell I can use su also. It gives permission denied error. Hence I can not remount the system.
I have read similar threads and found that on some mobiles adb root or adb shell su works but on some not.
I am using Vista 32 bit with admin rights, still can not use root in adb.
Please tell me, how can I mount system read-write. I can not install root explore as google play and even internet is not working.
Please help.

OMG ruscan.calin i COULD KISS YOU! I had tried to change my OG EVO 4G's buildprop file to another phone so that I could purchase & download an incompatible Google Play app. However after I restarted the phone wouldn't start! It would boot into my rooted HTC EVO 4G Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 but it would get stuck on the wallpaper with just the notification bar at the top and all buttons would be frozen. However I noticed when I plugged in my phone to my computer via usb the computer recognized it. I always keep my phone with USB debugging enabled so I thought I should be good right? I have spent the last 4 hours trying to install and setup adb with no real previous experience with it. I am familiar with dos from years ago and that helped me as it's basic procedure, commands, etc. Then I found out how to install the HTC drivers which I needed and then download the Android SDK with adb that's included which many guides show easily. I started the command prompt (cmd), typed my adb devices command and hurray it showed my phone! I connected and quickly navigated to the build.prop system folder! Luckily when I changed the file I made a bak backup and left it in the same folder. Now the main issue was figuring out how to change the naming of the files which I did via usual adb commands (mv build.prop.bak build.prop). But then to no avail I couldn't get it to write due to it being a system read only folder! Arg! Then I found your post on here, above, and typed it in simply leaving out the adb push portion and replacing that with the mv file command instead and first changing the name of the bad file and then replacing the bak file as the good copy! I exited back to the adb main and unplugged my phone. Moment of truth and man was everything flashing through my head at once! I booted up and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS, it worked! I went back into root explorer and got rid of the offending leftovers and I've learned my lesson! I just don't want to think about what would have happened if I hadn't found this post. Thank you and if anyone else makes this hug mistake let me know and maybe I can help. Moral of the story don't mess with the build.prop or any system folder unless you know what you're doing! Thanks again!
Quick Guide to Fix Android "build.prop" Issues:
1. Find and download USB drivers for your phone by model or type (HTC EVO 4G's HTC Fastboot drivers): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
2. Download and install Android SDK and choose adb: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Guide: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/
3. Run a command prompt from the "c:/program files/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/" directory. I had to copy the command prompt to get it to open there but sometimes a right-click action will do it. The guide below will help just navigate down to "Using ADB" and skip the rest.
Guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/114667/how...y-default-move-almost-any-app-to-the-sd-card/
4. Once you open the command prompt and you're in the "c:/program files/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/" foler type "adb devices" and your device should appear. If it does move on to next step.
5. Then type adb shell and use the ls command to see directories. Then you'll need to navigate to the system folder by typing "cd system" and then type "ls" to look around in the directory (similar to "dir" in DOS). You should now see the bad build.prop file.
6. You'll need to rename the file or push a correct version. First you need to use the "adb shell" command again and then "su" and finally "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system" to make the directory writable (see ruscan.calin post above for additional info).
Note: I only had to rename my build.prop as I already had my old one in the same system folder. You may have to copy the bad build.prop to your computer, edit it and then push it back to the same system directory. These directions are only for renaming files in the same folder. For the info on how to copy the file to your computer and push it back to your phone go to step *10 below or use the guide below it.
7. I already had the bad build.prop in the system directory with my old one which I had named build.prop.bak. If you have this too simply rename by changing the name first of the bad file to anything by typing "mv build.prop build.prop.bad" or similar.
8. Next rename the build.prop.bak to build.prop by typing "mv build.prop.bak build.prop". Everything should go smoothly and move onto the next step.
9. Finally, If no error messages are found, simply type "adb reboot" or "adb shell reboot" (Depending which version of ADB you have). You should be done, your phone will reboot like normal (working, lol) and everything should be working again! YAY!
*10. To copy the build.prop to your phone type "adb pull /system/build.prop c:\" and the file should be placed in the main c:/ directory on your computer. Navigate to the root (c:/) directory and then right click and "open with" the "build.prop" file using a notepad or other file editor. Then use the text editor (Notepad, etc) to change back what you originally changed to mess everything up. There is tons of stuff on the net to let you know what to fill back in depending on your phone model/type. Or it's possible to get a previous version from an old Nandroid backup or similar. Save the changed text file and make sure its named the same "build.prop" and make sure it's still in the root directory (If you're having issues on this step or just want more insight check out the guides and threads below for more help).
Guide 1: http://androidforums.com/admire-all...p-computer-not-phone-using-root-explorer.html
Guide 2: http://www.modaco.com/topic/328943-quick-guide-to-modifying-buildprop-with-adb/
Guide 3: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...-replaced-build-prop-phone-wont-start-up.html
*11. We've already made the directory writable in step 6 so we simply need to push the file back to the phone. If any error message appear re-do step 6 to make writable again. Otherwise push the modified file back to the phone by typing "adb push c:\build.prop /system/". Back to step 9 above! Yay!
If anyone wants to help cleanup this quick guide or make any changes feel free. I just wanted something so that if anyone else has this issue they won't have to worry or search forever to find a solution. OMG it's 2:30AM, to bed... I ride! LOL
Enjoy,
5th :highfive:
THANK YOU!!! Totally saved me today.
One thing that I noticed. After pushing the correct build.prop, I had to fully power down, then turn back on my Razr for it to load up the fixed build.prop.

[Q] Why can't I mount 'System' on Nexus 7 (2013) ?

Hi,
A few days ago, I did unlock and root my N7 (2013) using "Nexus Root Toolkit (v.1.6.8)" by WugFresh. I followed the instructions to the letter and everything went OK, it seemed. My N7 (JSS15J) is unlocked and I have root access, as confirmed by "Titanium Backup" and "Root Checker Pro" app.
However, my N7 cannot mount "System" - which is why I cannot delete any system app bloatware (also confirmed by "System App Remover" & Root Checker Pro app). When rooting my N7 (2012) and my SGS3, everything worked just perfectly and I never had these kind of issues...
I did factory-reset a number of times, went through the unlock/root process again, rooted again via UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip etc etc. - no dice. TWRP v2.6.0.0 is installed and working. I also installed & updated BusyBox, and I wiped of Dalvik - but still no root access to "System", or "mount".
As I just found out, "Root Checker Pro" actually explains why I can't mount "System" and/or don't have root access... I just don't know what to do about it:
Congratulations! You have root access!

What did I miss?
Can someone please help me to install whatever is needed to gain root access to "System"? "System App Remover" app shows that "System" is not mounted but downloading a separate "mount app" did not do the trick either...
Thanks for your help & suggestions, guys!
System is already mounted or you wouldn't be running android.
What you probably want to do is "remount"
mount -o remount,rw /system /system
But if all you want is to remove apps, perhaps it is easier if you just use Titanium to freeze them first and once you are sure you don't need them you can delete them, but I would just leave them frozen.

Seems like I tried in the wrong place... I'll give it another try; sorry
Well... downloaded a Terminal Emulator from Google Play..
But now I'm getting a "mount: Operation not permitted" error...
Googled a ton and found a lot of good advice... and even figured things out using ADB (hint: adb shell) - but nothing worked in the end.
Seems like my "SU" may be the culprit, but I'll figure things out when I have more time... meaning, on the weekend. Probably go back to stock and then start over. Seems to be the simplest way right now.
Thanks so far, guys!

In adb, you need to type su first to give yourself root privileges before you can mount /system
You need to mount system as read/write in order to remove apps from it.

what happens if you do in a command prompt in your adb directory
adb shell
su
Yes this seem strange.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
My suggestion would be to update TWRP, back-up important data, format data in recovery, look for decent rom, flash rom/gapps/latest supersu.
Then go to 'advanced' in recovery and fix permissions. Reboot recovery and tick 'mount' 'system', respectively install root file explorer of your liking.
No quick solution but should do the trick..
My suggestion is DO NOT delete anything, period. Nurse disable from settings or use pm disable.
Deleting stuff is completely pointless and WILL cause you problems in the future.

Dont know if you got this sorted. i was having the same problem with my son's Nexus 7 and came across this tutorial for Total Commander
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ns-remount-rw-in-total-commander-for-android/
Great little short cut to get the job done and can now get Total Commander free on Google Play.

Just Rooted My S3 But SU Is Missing A Binary

I just rooted my ATT S3 4.3. I did everything the tutorial said to do except when it got the part wherr odin reboots ur phone, i had to reboot it myself yo makr it go in cwm recovery. So once I was done rooting my phone and turned it on for the 1st time I instantly was greeted with superuser has stopped and security violations. So I tried random fixes from google and it keepa teling me there is no binary code. I can't figure out how to fix this, can anyone help me?

Try Chainfire's CF autoroot with SuperSU, including google play SSU update to App? It sounds like you failed to reboot into recovery first before doing a normal boot. After flashing via odin, the root is temporary and will be wiped during a normal boot, unless you first reboot into recovery. So, you have to uncheck the reboot after flash option in odin. After successful flash, pull usb cable and boot into recovery using three button method.
Did you use CF autoroot? Try it again.

Try Chainfire's CF autoroot with SuperSU, including google play SSU update to App? It sounds like you failed to reboot into recovery first before doing a normal boot. After flashing via odin, the root is temporary and will be wiped during a normal boot, unless you first reboot into recovery. So, you have to uncheck the reboot after flash option in odin.

I did reboot into recovery. I remeber the files I downloaded were named clockword mod and another was called superboot with cwm. Don't k ow if that helps.
I'm having a big issue though, I had tried fixing it by flashing dif ways, now whe I try tk flash it. When it loads up in download mode, my phone turns off or of ot doesn't do that, after I flash my phone and it reboots, it shows a red screen.
EDIT:
I just tried that root method you suggested and I still have the same issues. I don't know what to do!
EDIT 2:
I fixed it by using this site http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/12/Fix-Root-Problem-on-Android-4.3-for-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note2-Note3.html. Specifically, these instructions:
Download and install the latest APK for SuperSU like MrW0lf suggested.
I was having the same exact problem (unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped), so I downloaded the latest UPDATE-SuperSU file and extract it to have supersu APK, put it on my SD card in my phone and installed it from there.
It was strange because the version that was already on my phone was the same 1.89 version that I downloaded, but regardless, when I clicked on the APK, it saw it as an update, it asked to disabled knox, and worked like a charm.

Unable to change permissions of /system on LOS14.1

Hello, I am using the unofficial Lineage OS 7.1.2, with SuperSU 2.82 and a 3.1.1 TWRP & .160 FW
I'm trying to add some files like sony SoundEnhancement, some lib's files, Walkman, build.prop and stuff from Sony to /system
But I always encounter a problem like "system is read-only" or "you don't have permissions blaaah"
I tried at least 2 days with ADB (haven't tried ADB Sideload yet)
Or the app Mount / System RO/RW from play store
I also tried with Root Browser to change the file but no success
If someone would take some time to explain to me even if I've browse a lot of website I still don't understand why it doesn't work -.-
Thanks in advance

Use terminal app.
write down below commands
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Now u can change permissions.
You have to use this command after every reboot if u r going to play with system.

Hello, i tried and it failed
I don't have my phone now but I'll try again, thanx for your time
Tried this command on the android command prompt, continuously gives me message that the /system is being used by another resources.
Is there a way to add this statement in some sort of init.d component? Can anyone provide the location of this script file?
