Utilizing saurik's mempodroid I am able to exploit the kernel (2.6.39.4+) and gain root, but I cannot remount /system. I've tried quite a few different mount commands and they all result in the same error "mount: Operation not permitted".Here are the mount commands I've tried:
Code:
remount rw
mount -o remount,rw '' /system
mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
A regular mount command gives me this:
Code:
rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0[code]......

I mean the phone works though lags and that's why I wanted to remove the bloatware but seems when I go to recovery I get a triangle exclamation point - so what do I do?

I wonder if there is a way to auto update all my applications. I take too much time go to marked, downloads and manually update 1 by 1..
Does it actually work? I still have to manually update the apps I put on auto update.

How do I know which one is the phone and which one is the SD card? Is the phone the one with all of the pre-loaded pics and such? Or does that info get moved to the SD card once its formated?

I thought there was a way, maybe I had to add something to my computer where I could type highlight the name, address and phone number, right click up a menu and have it all added to my phone book.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I'm looking for an app that will autosync the photos on my phone straight to dropbox.
I was using dropsync and I really like it, but dropsync autosyncs the stuff from dropbox to my phone as well. I have files that I just simply don't need on my phone and would just prefer to have my phone upload to dropbox.
I guess what I'm asking for is an app that auto uploads, but doesn't download (or requires manual download).

I want to stash this in my vintage automobile and use tracking software to locate the vehicle in the unfortunate event its stolen.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am about to go to Verizon and hook up a new line and give it to a friend. I of course am going to get the new phone and I am going to give her my current Brand new Galaxy S3, which is only like 2 weeks old (2 weeks and 1 day to be exact). and I am just gonna hook myself up on the new line and give her mine. My question is, can you hook up phones that are rooted/Rom'd. I believe you can, cause I hooked up my buddies phone temporarily a week or so ago, and it was a LG Revo with the Gingervolt ROM on it. and they gave me a new SIM card, hooked it up and i was ready to go. So I don't think their should be an issue.
and yes I know this has been discussed over and over, but Galaxy Note 3 or LG G2 ? They are both amazing. But I want the one that has the best Dev work on it. and I do like the size of the Note 3. But I heard the LG G2 has a bit of a better camera, but I am not a huge photo taker, mostly just at parties, and when I am playing shows with my band I will have my GF take pics with my S3, and they turn out perfect. so I don't think that's a deal breaker for me.
can we add 3G support in a non 3G rooted phone? I have purchased Micromax A45 it doesn't has 3G. but i want it .. however ....
View 2 Replies View Relatedi tried to flash a rom without unlocking my bootloader. Well im running windows 8.1 and for some reason i couldnt get my computer to recognize the phone at all. After using 3 or 4 different guides i gave up for a few days so not to get too aggrivated. I mean its my own fault but my back up phone sucks lol. So i borrowed my wifes laptop running win 7. I Followed this guide androidforums.com/optimus-l9-all-things-root/807569-guide-security-error-fix.html. everything seemed to work got the s/w screen to appear in reverse and using the cmd prompt that says wiating for device then starting the .bat file from the download it says on the bat cmd prompt that everything worked. well at the bottom its says done then comes up with C:fast boot yours. i have been browsing Google but i haven't been able to find what i am supposed to do with the yours file. i tried putting a kdz file into the file location and running it from that but no luck. after a few min the phone auto reboots and comes back with the security error screen and not the backwards one.
