terminal emulator
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
I found that in another thread, still wont work.
EDIT: nevermind, found in a few posts down. its busybox mount -o remount,rw /system..

I am trying to copy modules to /system/lib/modules/. I have rooted with Gingerbreak. I have superuser permissions both with adb and from terminal emulator. I have changed system to rw both from TE and with ADB. I used this command: mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 system/ What am I doing wrong. System shows up as mounted rw when checking with cat /proc/mounts
Well, that basically works for me, but unless you did a typo on the "system/" only in the forums you got it slightly wrong.
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system

You don't need the "-t ext4" option.
Do I need busybox? It wasn't a typo. I get "permission denied" when I try to push the file. Not "access denied" as in the name. If it makes any difference. I have tried to cp from adb shell also. Same problem.
After installing busybox all went fine.
I have been trying to add/remove files in my /system directory but I'm having quite the difficulty.
The adb terminal already has SU access, I get a #.
I've tried mount -o remount,rw /system and then going back into ASTRO to paste something but it won't let me
I did also try cd /system after trying that but it doesn't do anything....
I've also tried adb remount but I get access denied.
Is it that I need Root Explorer or is there no avail?
I am trying to move the vending.apk into system/app from the command line.
I was going to use ES File manager. However, when I try to do 'root explorer' it fails. I do still believe I have a working root because SU works from the adb shell..
Here is what is driving me crazy, I can't seem to move or copy the file from the adb shell after I root and mount the folder as read/write.
I run these commands to set permissions and mount it read/write.
SU
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
However after running SU it returns 'cp not found' when I try to run cp to copy the file. Example...
# cp /mnt/sdcard/Vending.apk /sytem/appVending.apk
cp: not found
If I try to move it, it returns this error.
# mv /mnt/sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
failed on '/mnt/sdcard/Vending.apk' - Cross-device link
Is there something else I need to do to move or copy after running SU?
You would first have to fix the mount command because it's not a yaffs2 filesystem, and it's not /dev/block/mtdblock3. The correct command should be "mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9". Then try to copy it over to /system/app.
If it still fails, you can adb push it to /system/app after having mounted the partition in read/write.
i just moved it with explorer myself
Try to rename it from .apk to .jpg and copy it with ES File Manager. If it's successful rename it back to .apk after it's in /system/app.
I'm rooted via the standard root, with CWM installed.
When I attempt to mount /system as read-write with mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system, about 10 seconds later it remounts as -ro.
This means I can't change anything on there, is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix?

I had a similar problem once and I fixed it by restoring an old nandroid backup, I was never able to figure out what caused it.
I had the same issue when I installed the ota2 update, then tried to reroot. I think I was able to change permissions by installing, then opening superuser app.
Im on OTA1.
Hello,
I've got the same problem. With the following programs i have read/write access to /system only for seconds:
Esexplorer, file manager hd, root explorer, total commander , especially: adb shell
Strange thing: i have no problems with permissons when using x-plore or titanium backup.
(Currently OTA2)
Installing superuser again does not fix anything.
I have the same problem here (OTA2) :-/
A workaround I found is to chain the remount-command with the command you want to execute on /system:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system && cp /sdcard/Download/kernel_modules/cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/
# ls /system/lib/modules/
bcm4329.ko
cifs.ko
scsi_wait_scan.ko
Brilliant!
Hi,
I am unable to edit build.prop (flashing B15 and B13-chinese bootstack enabled nav bar - I want to remove it) as I can not mount /system as RW. When doing so, either via Terminal, ADB Shell or simply a file explorer app, I generally get a "Device busy" error or some other random error.
I have tried those commands so far in Shell:
mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system
All commands have been tried on the three available kernels.
Any help is much appreciated!
