Modifying read only system file

Hi there
My knowledge of Android is very limited, I know a little about Linux from Ubuntu at command promt level, but not enough to fix this issue I'm having. Any help would be much appreciated.
I wish to modify a file which Android is telling me is locked. It's \system\etc\bluetooth\audio.config
I have found a modification to this file which may help me in connecting the Tab to a bluetooth peripheral I have.
I have rooted the Tab
I have installed a root file manager
I have installed a terminal app
I have tried to chmod this file when logged in as su, but this refused so still I cannot edit the file.
I read somewhere about mounting the system folder as rw, but this is a bit beyond my knowledge. So if this is necessary I need walking through this step-by-step.
Could someone please help me by posting some instructions to get me to the point where I can edit the file audio.config?
Many thanks
Gary

Is the program that you are using called ROOT EXPLORER? If so make sure that you have slected the MOUNT R/W icon on the top. Gray Colored.
Oh....and get Root explorer. LOL!

Perfect. I'm using root explorer already but as i just installed it i missed the toggle you highlighted.
Thanks for your help. I have now modified the audio.config file and my tab is now connected perfectly to my Creative D100 bluetooth speaker.
Thanks again

Dear garyj1972,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and still getting used to the new settings. However I bought this bluetooth headset from we-com.net and it's model number is H580. I tried connecting it to my Tab but it doesn't even detect the headset when I try to find nearby devices. Well, I googled and googled stuff till I found very few similar queries by others (they're having this problem with few other BT headsets) and turns out that I have to edit some bluetooth config file and enable some things in it so the tab can detect my headset. I saw your post here about editing a config file and hence thought of asking you if you could help me out.
The tab's running on Android version 3.1
I hope you can help me out since am breaking my head on this from past two days. Any help will be much much appreciated.
Much thanks.

Your tab must be rooted to modify system files.

[Q] Looking for help from other Focus unbranders w/ NoDo

I've already tried posting this in the official thread in the WP7 General board but I'm certain it's already been lost in the commotion. So here's the deal:
1) I initially downloaded the PBK file and couldn't run it due to having Adobe Software installed.
2) I managed to discover that rasphone.exe is the program that's supposed to run PBK files and made it the default program for it.
3) When I run the PBK file it tells me the "phonebook is empty."
This means I can't just go in and select the hungarian VPN and go. Would someone be so kind as to go into the properties for the network, and copy down all settings? I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same situation...

try right clicking the file and use open remote access or whatever the name is...that fixed it for me

Ahaha, you can manually set up a new vpn using ttu.2.usaip.eu as the server, and the update seems to be working

CIFS Support With Rooted Stock?

Hello all,
I have hardly posted on this forum because I usually don't need to. My answers are usually answered in some thread or another. I have been lurking for a couple of years now. Thanks to all the XDA users who help out.
I am perfectly satisfied with the Nexus 7 completely stock, with one exception: I want to access windows and linux/samba shares from the tablet over Wifi. I do not want to install a custom ROM to do this. I saw a thread or two that mentioned this briefly, saying there was a kernel that does this, but mostly it is all vague. I found one kernel in the development forum that provides CIFS, but I do not know if that will work with the stock rom if I were to flash it.
Would someone please help me understand this? All I want is to use files on my other computers.
Thanks in advance!
-David

You can access files on a network with ES file explorer.

If you want to mount the CIFs shares as local directories then you need to be rooted and the stock ROM will need some additional kernel modules. You don't need a custom ROM in that respect, but you do need to root the device. Cifs Manager, which only works as root anyway, will allow you to load the modules and then manage the mounting/unmounting of the shares.
There's the N7 specific modules in qwerp_'s thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781411. The 10th post of that thread tells you how to add those modules.
There's a Cifs Manager thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158 which details some common problems and set up tips.

Thanks Thankyousam! A little redundant, but thank you. I'll try this out tonight and report back how it went. I appreciate your thoroughness!

Just so everyone knows, I got this to work flawlessly , but I had to go through hell to make sharing on Windows 7 work properly . I'm going to document that here for everyone's benefit.
Before I start, the end result was watching VOB format movies over wifi for 2+ hours with no issues at all. Very pleased with this. You can't do this with a basic SMB browser (because it has to download the file before viewing it).
I followed a lot of tutorials online after my initial attempts at sharing over the network failed. I wanted to do this WITHOUT a HomeGroup and WITH USER SECURITY ENABLED. I didn't want to share everything to Everyone like most tutorials suggest.
It turned out that sharing worked fine, with or without HomeGroup enabled, but only with other Windows 7 machines. This is because Microsoft hates my life and because it doesn't support "legacy" devices by default. The coolest part about all of this is that there is no way to fix this except by editing the registry directly. I will paste the registry fix into this post and also link to the source (Microsoft) just in case the link goes down.
Open: regedit.exe as Administrator
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
Create: DWORD (32-bit), called "AllowLegacySrvCall"
Set: AllowLegacySrvCall = 1 (binary, hex, or octal, doesn't matter if it's value is 1)
(I am a new user and cannot post links...)
support.microsoft.com/kb/957441
Another important thing: in the Network and Sharing Center, you'll need to edit advanced sharing options and enable 48- and 56-bit encryption support for older protocols (Don't use the 128-bit encryption because it probably won't work with most other devices, like the tablet).
Lastly, in your CIFS mount options (in CIFSManager this is the last input box in the settings) you may need to add domain=WORKGROUP,sec=ntlmv2
This is because the username it logs in with may or may not need to be specified according to the workgroup you are in (or domain, if applicable). The security option tells CIFS.ko to use one of the more recent authentication protocols that Windows 7 requires by default. You can change this default setting in Windows 7, but I think it is better to use the updated authentication method from Android since it appears to be supported.
Hope that helps anyone who is raging about this. I know I did.
If I think of anything else that's important, I will try to update this post. If anyone has any questions about getting this to work, let me know!
Thanks again to all who helped me figure this out. CIFS is wonderful!

looking for cifs/Mount for KK 4.4.4

Hi all
As the title says, i want to mount a networkpath to my nexus 10 for using "normal" musicplayer like Mort player to play the music stored in the network.
I searched a little around but only found solutions for JB. (Cifs and stuff)
I already tried myself to mount it with Mount manager from the playstore but always get a "failed to mount"
I am using an usb-stick on my Router (Asus RT-N56U). I have access to it with my fileexplorer.
Used ROM and kernel are shown in my signature.
Hopefully someone can give me a hint.
Greetings
Cua.

A little brainstorming:
An user in our german forum found out, that for the moment mounting seems only to work with thunderkat-kernel. But the folder is empty when trying to access. Maybe a problem with the correct rights.
Still in hope someone can help solving this problem.

Mount to folder on NAS

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows a way to map to a folder on my NAS. Specifically what I would like to do is have a folder somewhere on my Nexus Player that is a shortcut to a folder on my NAS. I want applications to be able to access files not located locally on the device.
Even more specifically I am trying to play my nes and snes roms that are located on my NAS. The apps work fine but they can not find files over my network like esfile explorer can for example.
My player is unlocked and rooted.
Thanks,
Rob

Just got it to work with the Lollirock ROM, and i bet thats ur ounly option unless u find a kernel that supports CIFS, dont think the official one does it?
*EDIT* - Oh, ye, right..., found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ent/kernel-unleashed-nexus-player-v1-t2977254 , bet that will work to,
i used this app to enter "permissive" mode, i read that u needed it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux
and a modified version of the CIFS Manager 1.5a app found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53760495&postcount=537
to be able to mount my NAS's samba share like:
192.168.x.x/Download/Games
/mnt/cifs/Games

Can you let us know which option you went with and how well it worked? I'd like to do this since Stickmount isn't working out well for me.
Thanks

OK I just want to first say THANK YOU!!!!!
Now I will try and tell you all that I did. I have done so many things I am not sure exactly what combination of things worked. I will tell you that you definitely need to be rooted and you also need the modified cifs app as previously mentioned. I also installed the kernel that supports cifs as mentioned. as far as permissive mode goes I do not have the app mentioned but I do believe I did this manually through a terminal. this may or may not persist without editing some file I am not sure? I hope this was at least some help. Thanks again!

and just to add a short rant... Why is this not a normal part of android!!!!! especially the nexus player! A device that they want you to connect to your tv and with this basic feature could make it a fully functional htpc. WTF google!!!!

I am with you on that. However, if they added all of those features, it'll introduce too many variables for them to work with when troubleshooting. I think that's what it comes down to
