Want to push a file to /system/customise/resource but i believe it is read only. What command do i use to make it read/write then push a file?
Thanks
i use root explore to push files, just mount root explorer as read/write by pressing the mount button in top right corner an if your having permission problems with the file ,you can long press on a file, go in permissions an tick the right box's
I have rooted and installed CWR. I have Supperuser installed also. When I try to change the gps.conf file to point to us.pool.ntp.org, I get an error saying the that /system is read only. Any ideas on how to fix this?
You need to mount /system as read/write before you can write to it.
In Root Explorer, you can click the R/W (or R/O) button at the top to enable writing.
I tried that and it say the file has been saved. However when I open the file again the changes are not there.
From my post the other day at forums.lenovo.com--
Best: ES File Explorer (with root permission and /system writeable checked in settings)
Navigate to file, click, choose text, choose ES Note Editor, edit the file as needed, choose save when prompted.
You can change permissions with ES as well.
I like that it automatically makes a *.bak file of whatever you edit and save.
I have tried changing the permission using root explorer, which resulted with this error "Permissions change was not successful. Please not that some file systems(eg SD card) do not allow permission changes. " I also tried using ES File Explorer but it still will not allow me to edit or delete the file.
@dwilli40 - Did you set root permission and /system writeable in ES settings?
Yes, I did enable root permission and /system writeable in ES settings.
I had a similar Problem on my device, seems that the normal mount doesn't work always. In my case i got write permission with:
busybox mount -o rw,rewrite /system

if you don't know how to do it manually, use a app !
fasterfix for example....
if it doesn't work, it means that you don't have root
Thanks quyTam . That one did it for me.
Any way to do this without recovery?
It's absolutely no need for recovery !
But root is needed.
I was thinking it did because I couldn't get /system to stay mounted as rw under adb shell or with total commander
What should I be doing?
GPS Monitor Premium is able to do this, too, and more. It's a little heavier, but I don't feel like I need GPS Test anymore. It's a slick little app, and the dev is very kind.

Yes.
If I mount from adb shell su and then exit (after checking mount) for adb push it does not retain rw.
Doing the mount command from Total Commander fails. Checking the box to mount /system from ES File Explorer does nothing.
Yes, the change to gps made a huge difference. I went from taking 5 minutes or more to find my location to almost instantly.

Did you change the gpsconfig.xml file in /system/etc/gps folder? And if you did, which line(s) did you edit? I'm looking at the file in Notepad++ just trying to comb through it all and I don't see us.pool.ntp.org or asia.pool.ntp.ord anywhere..
Thanks

Never mind, just found the gps.conf file in the root of /etc. FasterFix did indeed change the Asian setting to a north-american.pool.ntp.org. I'll give this a try today, and if it can't find me in under 3 minutes, i'll try changing it to us.pool.ntp.org and see if that makes a difference.
This is the script file that you need . script
Edit this script file.
Change /dev/block/vold/179:25 to /dev/block/vold/179:97
Now change the last sleep from 5 to 10.
1. Anyway.. you will need to place this script in your /data folder (Yes you need to be rooted)
2. Next use ES file manager and give it 777 permission (For the non-linux users, that's full permission on it, Read, write, execute for just user)
-----------------to do this with ES file manager just press and hold down on the file and look at its properties. At the bottom you can see Permissions, hit the Change button and check-mark everything for user
3. Use Smanager (Download it if you dont have it, ... .its free) and goto the script file and open as script/execute, then when it opens choose "Is executable" and then click "Su" & "Boot". Click "Save".
4. Reboot and enjoy.
To go back to the normal setup just delete the script or open it back up in smanager and clear the SU & Boot options.
The link for the script file and the instructions are from xalien8dx's post for the p3113.
I'll take credit for the minor changes that needs to be made for the script to work for the sch-i705.

Hi,
First of all let me say thanks to whoever first rooted the NST. It simply rocks. Also, XDA's introductory video made me laugh and scared at the same time.
I'm trying to install an apk which is not available through Google Play/Android Market. I go to the .apk in ES File Explorer, but it won't install. It says
'Install blocked
'For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market'
In Nook Color Tools, 'Allow non-market apps' is checked. I note that below, it says
'For this to work, the apps apk files must be copied to system/app'.
However, I cannot persuade ES File Explorer to copy the .apk file to /system/app, which I assume is protected or something.
So, I'm stuck. How do I get this little terror to install?!
Many thanks.

On the device is an app called NookColor Tools. Run it, and ensure that the checkbox for on-device install is checked. If it's already checked, uncheck and re-check it to make sure that it's actually set. Exit the app and reboot your nook. You should now be able to sideload apps.

To copy files to the system partition you need to mount it read/write mode. In your ES file explorer there should be an option that allows you to do that "mount root" or something similar. You can also use Rhytm file manager (i use it therefore i know you can do this in RFM).
If you have adb access you can also connect to NST (adb shell) and run
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

You only have to put things in /system/app if you don't want to "install" them.
Most apps go in /data/app which is easier anyway and no hassle when you want to upgrade.
I always install apps over ADB using "adb install myapp.apk"
(especially when I am developing and doing 20 installs an hour.)

Thanks .
I did try a lot of search strings, but not that specific one. I guess I didn't want forum people to get cross with me! Oh well...

I had the same problem for an hour or two. However, ES File Explorer allows you to mount the system partition in read/write mode. Run ES File Explorer, click on the icon near the top LHS corner, choose Root Explorer from the menu, and choose Mount R/W from the pop-up menu. I needed to add and delete system files.
hello
i have nexus 4 4.3 it's rooted and i used to do all read/write/delete on to my root dirctory wiht ES file now the when i try to do anything of that i ger faild/denied/you dont have permision, also rom mnager i cant delete any saved rom backup access denied,
please advise
On your su app do you have root access to prompt or grant change to prompt I had that problem. Also in the new version of es you have to go to tools- root explorer(make sure its on)- then click on the words root explorer to open the menu to mount it as writeable

all setting is okay!!

Sounds like your on an older version of es file explorer.
On the latest, hit the top left icon for the fast access menu, touch the root explorer entry then the mount system entry, select both the rw boxes.
i'm on latest version and just yesterday i was able to accesses all file permissions
