Android :: How To Change / SDCard To Be Not Read Only File System?
Aug 19, 2009
I am trying to copy an image to the emulator sd card by: $ adb push ~/Desktop/bullet_ball_ glass_red.png /sdcard /bullet_ball_glass_red.png But I get an error saying: failed to copy '/Users/n179911/Desktop /bullet_ ball_glass_red.png' to '/sdcard/bullet_ball_glass_ red.png': Read-only file system So I tried to go to adb shell to manual change the /sdcard to non read-only, but it still wont let me. $ adb shell # su # chmod 777 /sdcard Unable to chmod /sdcard: Read-only file system #.

Is it possible to access the filesystem of an sdcard image through something like Windows Explorer?
i.e. mount the sdcard as a drive or web folder or something. I have some xml files stored on my sdcard image which I frequently want to edit.
Ideally I would like to be able to edit these files directly using my fave xml editor (either through the filesystem or webdav).But is this possible?
If not, is the only alternative to pull the xml file from the sdcard to the dev machine filesystem, edit and the push it back?

I am trying to read system logs in my code to generate something like an error report. Similar to adb logcat, but in a programming way.

I am trying to revive white Pandigital using ADB commands to push files on the system's folder of the device then flashing them.
The computer sees the device, adb has root access, yet when trying to push files is gives me an error indication that the system/data/midc is a read only. tried adb remount over and over with no lick. Is there any other way to get to write on the system folder?

I have a android tablet and I have tried rooting it and I get things like "read only file system" and I looked into it and my /system is read only.. Rooting is putting .su in the xbin or bin inside of the /system. But my /system is read only so i can't root my tablet?

I replaced my original sdcard with a sandisk 16gb card. Everything went well until I started getting these blasted read on errors. Earlymon suggested a fix from another board but I don't have a stand alone card reader so I couldn't do it that way.
I was wondering if I just backed up all my stuff from my sdcard to my iMac and then just reformatted my sdcard via the phone, would that solve my problems?

For whatever reason this has been happening a lot to me in the past couple of days. I have never had this problem before. I can get it to work but it seems like I have to reset my phone every time in order to regain access. This is really frustrating because I have been altering the framework and resources files to theme.

i've rooted my vodafone 858 but it didn't install super user although i can type "su" command in adb shell. now i'm trying to delete files located in /mnt/asec (downloaded packages) due to low phone memory. so i tried to do it but when i do the command "rm" for files located in there it tells me permission denied so i entered super user mode and i tried "rm" it tells me "unable to chmod <path> read-only file system" so how can i get past the read only?

I developed a cramfs rom for the np7 after user dochoppy found root for the nextbook premium 7 tablet, but he then converted to ext3 which because its packed with features will be more popular. So I am trying to edit his ext3 rom in Ubuntu 11.10 and here is what I do:
1. Copy and paste system.img to desktop
2. Create a folder called system on desktop
3. In command prompt:
cd ~/Desktop
Sudo mount -t ext3 -o loop system.img system
(Asks for pw)
4. Doc said something about only being able to edit as root, so after some Googling I find out how to create a program that grants root.
5. (Open "run as" program) then I type "nautilus /home"
(Asks for pw)
6. Navigate to mounted system and I have read/write privileges (but only in this window)
7. View the system mount properties, and it says I have 14.2 mb free space on device
8. Delete files throughout the system folder to make room (but when I refresh properties, free space increase doesn't show)
9. Try to add my own files after deleting some others, ans rather than using the increased space, it just fills the fourteen megs before telling me "device is out of memory "
why is the system not physically making the proper system increase and decreases.

I've got some code that downloads mp3s remotely over a streaming url connection... This all works fine but my problem is once the file is complete and I pull up the music app it's not there. A reboot of the phone and it now shows up... anyone know how to force this refresh to occur from without my code?

My device is Chinese and has no brand. (with Android 4.0)
I changed some things in framework-res.apk, but not set the permission to 755 before saving in /system/framework/ so now the phone keeps resetting!
How do I change the permission of this file without the device to start??

I have an application that can read and write txt files to the phones sdcard. By using this code for reading files:
@Override protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) { super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id); mFileNameOpen = files.get(position);
String st = null; mVector.clear();
notepad.mNewEmpty = false; try { File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/ notepad/"+mFileNameOpen); FileInputStream fileIS = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fileIS));
do { st = in.readLine();
mVector.add(st);
}while(st!=null); in.close(); ...
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) e.printStackTrace();
and this to write them:
try { File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File fileCheck = new File(root, "/notepad/" + fileNameSave + saveExtension);
boolean exists = fileCheck.exists();
if (!exists) { if (root.canWrite()) { File textFile = new File(root, "/notepad/" + fileNameSave + saveExtension);
FileWriter textWriter = new FileWriter(textFile);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(textWriter);
out.write(SAVEAS); out.close(); written = true;
} else { written = false; else { written = true; showMaybe = 1; showDialog(DIALOG_SAVE_EXISTS);
catch (IOException e) {Log.v(getString(R.string.app_name), e.getMessage());
This has been working fine on my Tattoo and all the emulators I've tried this on. But it does not seem to be working on moto droid. Is there something different to consider with moto droid? Or have I missed something in the manifest maybe?

I need to create a protected file in android sdcard. I use file.setReadOnly(); bu it is not working. I don't know how to set a file readable, or how to protect an file from deleting, and the best solution would be to set it hidden.
