Alright, since i had a couple of problems with adb remount, i decided to do some research.
I'm running the latest OTA (2.10.405.2) rooted with Unrevoked 3.21, using Clockwork Recovery Mod 2.5.0.7.
Now once i go to the adb shell and type adb remount, i get the following error: (do mind, this is fully booted, i dont know if a remount is possible while booted?)
adb devices
List of devices attached
BLA12345 device
adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

Ive read something about figuring out if adb recognizes your device as root, so i tried doing this with getprop ro.secure
It returned the following:
adb shell
$ getprop ro.secure
getprop ro.secure
1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This means adb does not recognize my device as root, so i booted into recovery, went to adb again and did the same. This time it returned:
adb devices
List of devices attached
BLA12345 recovery
adb shell
~# getprop ro.secure
getprop ro.secure
/sbin/sh: getprop: not found

Now, i can always mount the /system partition manually by going into clockworkmod recovery, but i'd like to be able to use adb remount aswell. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix this
Thanks in advance!

for starters we cant mount /system as r/w while booted... as it stands we dont even need to use the remount command, as we only have r/w access to system whilst in recovery, if you just use the mount /system command, it will automatically be mounted as r/w

i only just noticed that after i replied to your post happy days
Hi this might be a noobish question but i cant find the answer anywhare:
so here's the problem i was trying to fix a badly installed rom, so i wiped the phones storage I then tried to kick myself when i realized that i had just deleted my backup and all the data on the phones internal storage, so now i can only get onto fastboot and clockworkmod recovery 5.8.3.1.
So is there a way to flash a rom in fastboot usb, or mount the phones internal storage so i can copy in a rom zip?
I would be grateful for any help
There is an option in cwm to mount storage you can try that not sure if they work tho.

It will not work.
What you can do other than flashing a RUU is:
Boot to fastboot
fastboot boot CWM_recovery_full name.img
Once it boot to recovery
adb shell
adb push rom_name.zip /sdcard
It will take some times to finish as the rom_name.zip is big.
Once complete, you can flash the rom_name.zip as usual
To make it easier, change the rom_name.zip to update.zip, so you can
adb push update.zip /sdcard
Thank you I have done as you said but i must be doing something wrong because i get this error:
C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Android>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
~ # adb push update.zip /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
~ #
(The update.zip is Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_5.1.0.zip)
do you think it could be a problem with my adb.exe or something on the phone?
did you do the "fastboot boot CWM_recovery_full name.img"
going to recovery via hboot will not work.
you need to fastboot boot recovery
and it is adb devices , not adb shell... sorry

yes that's how i got to cwm as below

my bad
C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Android>adb shell
change to
C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Android>adb devices
Then adb push rom.zip /sdcard
ok i think that worked but when trying to find the zip in cwm i just get "no files were found", but in the command prompt it looks like it was copied to the sd card:
C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Android>adb devices
List of devices attached

C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\Android>adb push update.zip /sdcard

That's wierd.
You mean that when you click "choose zip from sdcard" you have nothing in sdcard ?
yes clockworkmod says that the sd is empty.
I'm going to try again with a smaller file and maybe try and access the sd with a different recovery

No. It won't work as sdcard need to be manually mounted first.... that's why I said something about adb shell earlier.
I'll do the testing now:
my step will be:
fastboot boot xx-recovery.img
adb devices
adb shell
mount sdcard
open another cmd prompt
adb push xxx.zip /sdcard
will let you know in a short while
Just tested: this should be the correct way... I can see my xxx.zip when I choose : choose zip from sdcard
*you need to mount the sdcard first before adb push
thank you it worked fine I downloaded the zip to the sd and flashed the rom in cwm, but it didn't work and now i cant boot into recovery it just shows the revery screen for 1/2 a second, and reboots into the bootloader i tried flashing different recovery images but they didn't work.
Is there some way to wipe the phone recovery?

Do:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then press power once to go to hboot then select recovery. It should work.
Thank you
Thank you so much for all your advice i've just successfully flashed a rom and got my phone working again i was starting to fear for my phone.
Thanks again for all your help
ckpv5, when I try to follow your steps, I get "error: device not found" when doing adb shell in the command prompt? How do I fix that?
(My problem is that I formatted everything like an idiot in my phone and the internal sdcard seems to be unmounted or something like that)

If you're on stock ROM, you don't have to do all the step, just simply flash RUU.

I don't have the executable RUU for the Rogers handset, I only have a zip containing a bunch of img files and the executable RUU for the AT&T version (which didn't work, gave me ERROR [131]: Customer ID error or something like that).
Which the zipped RUU for the Rogers handset, I tried flashing the recovery_signed.img and boot_signed.img, relocking the bootloader and then flashing the system.img file but it would give me an error saying data length too large or something like that.
I really don't know what to do anymore

Which custom recovery is working for for your set ? Is the one from One X dev section works for you ? If it is not, I'm afraid unable to help you.
Which custom ROM that you use before the brick ?

Pretty much the only one available for the Evita One X (this one doesn't work if that's the one you are talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819):

Also, I wasn't able to succesfully flash a custom ROM, when I tried to it just kept giving me random status errors in CWM, I'm starting to think the problem is the hardware and not the software since every solution I try is giving me errors related to unable to install/transfer/blahblah

Hi,
I tried to load a rom.zip file on to sdcard using adb push . It returned a permission denied error.
I did not see the file in the sdcard so I know the file not loaded.
Other adb command work just fine.
What did I do wrong ?
Thanks for your help
Boot into recovery before issuing your adb commands.

Thanks. It works.
Can I do the same using TWRP ? what function of Twrp will do the same as adb push ?
Thanks
You can "Mount" your sdcard to USB.

Not exactly, the drivers in the link are modified from the ones in the sdk. If installed correctly with the phone plugged in, under device manager there will be an android bootloader interface entry.

I belive what its saying is your misc partition is fubar. This means your partition tables are jacked, and the phone is essentially soft-bricked.
so what do i do? i am still able to use it

It is probably physically broken. You can try to flash an ruu and see if it takes, but im thinking a needed portion of your flash memory has been damaged or corrupted beyond repair.
I saw ruu on how to unlock the bootloader. I have tired looking it up but nothing comes up .

Download and place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard in no folders, do not rename it. Then boot to hboot (vol down + power), it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If it dosent find the file, you may need to reformat the sdcard fa32 and then try again.
Thanks I'll try this tomorrow hope it works! I just only want to flash a ROM I think the stock is very ugly

That was the latest ruu (rom update utility), it is ment to redo the entire phone and put it like it was fresh out of the box. If it fixed the phone you should be able to boot to the os like norrmal. Did it flash ok, any errors?

Yeah you need to unlock again by fastboot flashing the unlock_token they sent you before. You can follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258.
