*Redmi 7a MokeeOS PIE built in root*
Hi, I was able to root the ROM with mokee add-on su, but root apps give me error "unable to mount system R/W"
So I remounted using ADB:
>ADB ROOT
>ADB REMOUNT
It worked successfully as R/W. But it doesn't last as default. It automatically comes back to RO
.
.
*IN SHORT*
I want a way to mount system read/write permanently without worrying if it will automatically be set back READ ONLY
Any help I'd appreciate it
I tried fixing SELinux, didn't work.
I have the same problem, in stock is also like this, you can not move apps to the system partition because it can not mount as writable.

You can mount it with debugging as mentioned:
>ADB ROOT
>ADB REMOUNT
But the problem is, it's only temporarily

Does anyone know where a video of mounting you SD card will be be??
Or can anuone tell me how to mount my SD Card
Mount it howso? Because you can connect it to the computer, and then an option to mount it will pop up on the phone. Or you can do this (probably what you want):
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount auto /sdcard
That will mount your sdcard in readable/writable mode.

or you can just install mountusb from market.
well i want to mount it. so i can but the sdk android on my phone and root it.
I dont know which way that is. but how do i do it that way??
Well, the AndroidSDK doesn't actually go on the phone itself. If all you want is just to root the phone, I'd suggest using this (VERY easy): http://link.geekfor.me/fresh105
Download that, and then run it. There is a function in the program that will automatically root your phone for you, all you have to do is click a few buttons.
will it put nandroid on my sd card where i can put it onto my computer and does it put on backup
ok but if i use the fresh kitchen can i use DamageControl v2.07.2.
DamageControl v2.07.2 is Android 2.1
Fresh Kitchen will install a custom recovery when it roots your phone. The custom recovery will allow you to use nandroid, which will put backups of your phone on your sdcard in a folder labeled "nandroid". Once you root, you can install any ROM you want on your phone, even if it is Android 2.1.
Sorry if this has been asked before...
I'm on stock 2.1 rooted. In order for me to access /system or /data, I must mount it manually via recovery. Is there any way that they may be accessed (from the phone preferably, but at the very least from the computer) while the phone is booted?
Thanks In Advance
in short, no. Phones that can do that are S=OFF, whereas the Aria is S=ON. You have to be in Recovery to mess with the /system or /data stuff
It's helpful to know what its called.
So, would AlphaRev 2 work?
Hmmm, I installed Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7 Update 3r1 and now i can see /system in astro

When the phone is booted normal, the /system and /data partitions are mounted in readonly mode, that is why you see them in Astro. In order to write or modify these partitions, you need to have the phone in recovery mode and mounted as read/write.
I should have considered that.
It just seemed odd because I couldn't see it before and still cannot see /data...

When I fire up Astro, I can select the Up button and that will take me to / on the phone and I can see /acct, /cache, /data, etc. I have to scroll the screen, but all of the directories show up.
But if you open them, are they empty?

Astro doesn't run as a rooted application, therefore it can't see the contents of readonly folders. If you open up a terminal emulator window and type 'su' at the $ prompt to gain root access, then you could do a 'ls /data' and see the contents.
Hi all,
i formatted my sdcard with ext3, but CM7 doesn't mount it. I changed the 'vfat' in the fstab to 'ext3', but it still dosn't mount the card. I can manually mount it with 'mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard', but then I can only access /sdcard via Terminal Emulator or the adb shell. Root explorer says that it is not mounted although it is mounted. Does anybody know how to fix that?

Hey dude, I feel ya. I wanted to ext3 all the way, but google thought Android users would rather use fat for their sdcards so we're bound to trying to work around it. You might want to look at your sdcard permissions, check that you have "X" permissions for user, group and other, or just go crazy and do "chmod -R 777 /sdcard".
You could look into what this guy did: http://android.modaco.com/topic/308568-how-can-i-bind-mount-eg-systemsdxxx-sdcardxxx/#entry1511967
but I backed out mainly because it looks too much like more trouble than its worth.
Good luck!
Hey GT540 users!
I tryed many roms so far, for example utopia, aokp 4.0.4, project icecreamswift, some 2.3.7 roms which i dont remember the developers and etc. On every single custom rom i realise that i have space probs. I install around 15 apps and my device runs out of storage (or space) really really fast.
Please can you suggest some ideas about this problem? I allready made an ext3 partition on my sd card and really really care to use it smarter and wiser. I tryed link2sd but seems it crash a lot and all my apps are really messed up. If again ext3 is not needed, thats fine. i really need some suggestions.
Is anything i can do without an application? If not, do u mind suggest me some application please that works 100%?
Anything you want to ask im here.
Thanx in advance!!!
For 2.2 and 2.3 roms just use this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171531
i really really dont think thats a good idea... i really prefer i simple way than this...

I use link2sd without any issues - try an ext2 partition
Also, try the link -Grift- posted. That is actually quite easy, all you do is boot into fastboot, connect to PC, run a program, click some buttons DONE!
If you don't want to do any of these, then you are a bit stuck, sorry to say!
ok thanx for your info!
will try make an ext2 1st and retry link2sd, if not changing partiotion is my last hope
ok i installed link2sd and this time seems it works fine... well.. so far
the only problem i got, when i reboot the phone, the application link2sd requires a 2nd restart (soft one) because cant mount the apps. Is this ok or done again something wrong?
Cheers

I have the same problem too. link2sd cannot automount the 2nd partition at boot so each time I have to reboot the phone I must reboot it 2 more times to get link2sd mount the 2nd partition correctly. How can I solve this problem
no1 intrested to help us?
In Link2SD, Press the menu button, then select 'More'. Select Recreate mount script. Choose your ext partition type, then ok. Reboot your phone. If it still asks you to remount, try these command on Terminal:
Code:
mount -rw -t ext2 -o remount /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
then
Code:
mount -rw -t ext2 -o remount /dev/block/mmmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
If it's not an ext2 partition, change the 'ext2' in the command with what your ext partition is.
Did you use the Android "Move to USB storage" or "Move to SD card" idk function? on android 2.2 and above?
You don't need to repartition your SD card for it
I would suggest to use Apps2ROM app. This is an application that has the ability to move normal (user) application into the ROM and use them as system apps. Th application can also uninstall system apps.
So, first you can get rid of system applications that you do not use and you utilize also the available system memory. Be careful not to go under 20 MB of the system mem.
You need root access to do so and some care not to uninstall essential system apps for the stability of the Operating system.

When i type the 1st code, the terminal is keep question me if im root....
To be exact it says:
Code:
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
Any solutions?

#

I guess the 1st code is fine, no errors on my phone, but when i type the 2nd code, i get this message:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext failed: Invalid argument
So... what have i done wrong now?
Hello there
I was wondering, can the internal sd card can be mounted with CWM?
If so, can you provide the button count to do it?
I have a S4 with a broken LCD, and I want to retrieve the data, but since I can't enter the passcode, not kies or windows see the files.
I managed to root it and flash CWM but now I got stuck and I just don't remember if I can't mount the internal SD with CWM

install android sdk if you dont have it.
boot your phone into cwm and connect to pc.
open cmd line where adb file exist, and type:
Code:
adb devices
you must see your serial number with recovery
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
when it finish, "sdcard" folder in "c" directory

So, after some struggling with the adb drivers I got the device detected by adb and gave this a try, but I think I hit another wall.
sdcard showed 0 files, so I entered the shell and realized the sdcard was not mounted.
I tried to mount it by running mount /sdcard/ but it says sdcard can't be found in fstab{
This is what my fstab has:
cat fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system ext4 rw
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance
EDIT: I'm thinking that maybe CWM didn't flash correctly (I did it from Odin, and since I'm going blindly there is no way for me to know for sure)

I did. That's when it said that /sdcard/ coudn't be found in /etc/fstab
****************************
UPDATE
I got it to work.
If anyone is interested, this is how I mounted the sdcard
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /sdcard/
where mmcblk0p21 is the partition that sdcard usually mounts.
After that, it was a simple as exiting the shell and run
Code:
pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
as recommended above
