Since updating to the new froyo I have root, but I cannot get root explorer to be able to access /system in any way possible, it reads it but cannot write/modify.
I have replaced every root file with a new version, even tried the /system on boot set to r/w method with that market app. Its getting frustrated as this has ALWAYS worked before.
Did you come from voodoo?

I had a lot of trouble with Root Explorer as well. Super Manager has worked much better with the r/w access.

I'll give it a shot using that other app and see what happens.
That app still only has r/o access. Super user isn't granting my phone r/w access for /system.

You positive you still are root? Try the root process again just for ****s and giggles...
Run one of the following with your phone connected to your computer and try again.
Voodoo:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
Non-Voodoo:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
Yes, I'm getting this too.
Not only this. I use android commander to see what's in the folders.
While I'm in CWM in the phone, Android Commander shows only one folder in /system. That folder is /system/etc. This might explain why I can't flash anything into my phone to save my life. Anyone know what could be causing this?
It's odd because when my phone boots up, Android Commander shows /system will all of it's glory...

I have the exact same issue. Just talked it over with Adrynalyne.
You are going to have to download an All-In-One Odin Package such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
Then, you're going to have to start over and flash your CWM Recovery from jt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Then you Odin flash the modem of the ROM that you want to install, then you use CWM to flash the ROM that you want to install...
Make sure that you do to not flash using Phone. Use PDA option in Odin.
Apparently, it's a corrupt dbdata partition that is causing it. This can happen occasionally when installing VooDoo... Just another reason to stay away from VooDoo...
BTW, Is this working for you? I think it's working for me as of yet. I'm not done yet so I can't assure you yet.
I don't think is working for me... If it worked for someone else let me know. I don't know what happened.

I just installed root explorer and set my system to RW, I can see it all the way through in ADB. Then I re-locked it in root explorer.
Im running Virtuous 1.0.1 and when i try to change my boot animation through root explorer i cant because it says im not allowed to change system files, what am i doing wrong? i see other people on youtube just change there without a problem but i cant seem to do the same.

when i press that at the system/customize/resource menu nothing happens liek i didnt even touch it... and i checked superuser and it has root permissions!
So when you press the button that says "mount r/w" near the top nothing happens? It doesn't change to "mount r/o"?

Thats correct
Clearing app data does nothing as well?

flashed back to CM7 and was able to successfully change the boot image!
Or u can simply use an app on the app store called. Boot Animation Changer Lite. Once u download it you will get a folder in your sd card that says like bootamios or something. Click on stock and delete the zip file that's in there. Drag the animation u want in there the .zip file and exit. Go back to app. Click animation in bottem righht. Scroll all the way down till u see stock and done.

Just use terminal, your app might be messing up or having compatibility issues for some reason.
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /location/to/bootanimation.zip /system/media
That should do it.
Example:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp sdcard/zips/animate/bootanimation.zip /system/media
i think it might of had something to do with the sense rom i was running, because once i flashed back to cm7 it was a piece of cake
Is there an animation sound that goes with lets say the honeycomb boot animation?

For everyone that s having trouble with this...just follow vandale's method.worked for me. Just gotta make sure a different directory isn't also created. If so just delete and move the.zip file to the appropiate location. It'll work just fine after that.

Since then i have flashed back to a sense rom and now i am trying to flash the vanilla mms app instead of the stock htc one. i have removed the HTc one but once again when try to mount r/w its like i didnt even push the button. it works when im not in the system folder but when in the system folder it wont allow me to press it. i have tried different root explorers but none seem to work with sense. but i know they work for other people so i dont know what to do!
edit: damn, was to high and posted in the wrong forum...

Finally! I've been trying to get this done using simply Terminal emulator for the longest time and this actually worked! Thanks again

I guess I spoke too soon. this worked absolutely great when I used it with the Sense ROM however when I tried to do it with CM7 it didn't work. is there something I should change?

I did once. and I've found that if I go into the bootanim folder and replace the bootanimation.zip in the stock folder, then go to boot anamation changer and tell it to run stock then it will change it to the new file however that just seems like a dumb way to go about doing it.
Guys I erased the stock contact because i thought the go contacts would replace it. But now i cant add new contacts. Can i reinstall the stock contact app?? How??
Thanks

Did you deodex your system?
What is deodex?
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
I guess that means "no".
So thats what you can do:
1) You can download the .apk files and place them in your System/app folder. (I recommend this)
2) Flash your device.
3) Download another app (Most stupid idea)
PS: Where are you from? (What version of MS2 do you have? like French/Brazil etc)
Brazil.
Where can I find this apk and how can i put it in that folder?
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
If you dont even know how to put the files into the folder, how did you manage to remove the app?
Titanium backup. My phone is rooted but i dont have an explorer.program. what do suggest as an app?

Root Explorer but it costs...
sorry i dont know any FREE root explorer at this moment give me 5 mins.
Give me 5minutes, then i will upload the .apk files for Contact's.
Ok thank you very much

Do you know how to use ADB? lol.. sorry i really dont know any other RootFile manager :/.. so you either could buy Root Explorer.. or illegally download it somewhere....... there are ways, but i recommend ADB as an alternative (All you need is a Windows PC, USB Cable and AndroidSDK)
Alternatively you could try to find a Root Explorer alternative by searching the Market (I didnt find any): https://market.android.com/search?q=root+explorer&c=apps
But yes all you have to do is:
Download BlurContacts.apk -> http://www.death-force.com/downloads/Milestone%202%20Archiv/Milestone2_OriginalApps/
Download BlurContactsSync.apk -> http://www.death-force.com/downloads/Milestone%202%20Archiv/Milestone2_OriginalApps/
And use a FileExplorer or ADB to put these files into:
Code:
/system/app/
on your Device
EDIT: OH SORRY.. i totally forgot you can use the terminal hehe.. didnt think about that.. so just put the .apk files on your SDCARD
then download: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=search_result
And type this into the terminal:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurContactsSync.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurContacts.apk /system/app
chmod 0644 /system/app/BlurContacts.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/BlurContactsSync.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
It didnt work, i think the problem is the apk file. The terminal and the explorer could not install it there was an error
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
What do you mean.. error .. were you able to even install the Files of the Market? Or didnt even that work?
I installed roor explorer and the terminal but they could not read the apk files
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
they should NOT read the apk files....
you just need to move the .apk files into the folder: /system/app on your Mobile Fone...
I moved them and rebooted the phone but still, no stock contacts

Did you apply the permissions 644 by doing:
Code:
chmod 0644 /system/app/BlurContacts.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/BlurContactsSync.apk
?

Operation not permited. I used the root explorer and also nothing
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
You have to type "SU" before doing this.
I dont have the permission to use that command
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
Then you aint rooted.. or disallowed terminal in the SuperUSer app
It seems I am unable to change permissions on any file or folder in /sdcard. I can copy the file to /system and then change permissions...that works fine. There is something preventing me from changing the permissions to anything on /sdcard.
I've tried this with:
- Root Explorer (which gives an error" Changing permissions was not successful.")
- ES File Explorer (which doesn't even show an option in the file properties to change permissions for any file on /sdcard.)
- chmod from terminal (which gives error "operation not permitted")
I'm using a rooted stock debloated rom.
Anyone know why this is?
Thanks!

I'm trying to delete the audio conf file in system/vendor/etc but it won't let me. I'm rooted and running Pure Nexus.
Also when I go into the recovery and try to use the file manager it doesn't show me any files in that folder even though there are files in there.
I just updated the Rom the other day. What could have gone wrong?

you need to mount the system partition as writable first. Issue from the dos command prompt:
adb root
adb remount
and then try again and it should work.
*EDIT* that's from within the normal system. You're also asking about recovery. In that case you need to mount /system first. Click on the 'mount' button inside TWRP and select system and vendor. Then you should be able to delete the file too (make sure you didnt select 'mount system partition read-only'). So that's a solution if you don't have adb installed.
