Hi Bros & Sis,
I have GPS issue on my SGS2, which lead me to this site for the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
It need a rooted device and Root Explorer for the fix, so after the search, I found this guide for rooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
After following the steps and my SGS2 should be rooted.
However, I try to make changes to GPS.conf file in /system/etc, I'm not allow to do so.
If my rooting steps is corrected, how can I know whether SGS2 is rooted?
I do see that warning triangle during boot and if that's the indication, what do I miss out that I can't change the file?
Thank you very much for the help.
I'm not familiar with Root Explorer, but there should be an option to remount R/W somewhere, which you'd need to do to save changes in /system.
To check if you're rooted, look for Superuser in your app drawer. Also, you should probably have got a prompt when opening Root Explorer saying "Superuser request" which would indicate that you're rooted.

You can use Root Check app from the Market.
Maybe you have to use a kind of root explorer and activate to mount your system partition with read/write access.
I am using ES Datei Explorer app from the Market, and I had to activate the root options in the explorer's app menu first.
Good luck !

Yes, there is this Remount as R/W, but there is no respond in /system.
When open Root Explorer, I'm granted Superuser permission, but still no permission to edit gps.conf.
That's why I'm wondering where have I done wrong.
Thank you.

I had try the Root Check App and it stated rooted.
For Root explorer, there is this Remount as R/W, but is just don't work in /system or /etc folder.
I can't find ES Datei Explorer, only ES File Explorer. And it stated granted Superuser permission on opening the app, but can't edit GPS.conf file.
Can I re-root again?
Thank you.

Hi to all!
This is my first android device, and i am new to Unix-like systems.
I have tried to unlock, root & install custom rom on my phone. Used this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
Everything go perfect until step:
DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favorite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
I always get "read only" trouble. As I understand, the problem in root access. I haven’t got it.
I have tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740748
Then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046626
But in any case i get "read only" truing to delete 'install-recovery.sh'
Will be grateful for tips how to successfully root my device.
..
a guide is in the "stickys" in general forum made by swiftks

Use root tools. And there's a little button to change it from read only to read/write. Then delete the file.

Tnx very much, it worked.
But i still can't delete the
install-recovery.sh
Trying via all possible file explorers, and also tried

one more time. still get
rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, Read-only file system
You need to go into the options of the file manager and enable root, and also mount system as writable. I use ES file explorer from market...its free. If it still fails my guess is you are not rooted.
I have root access, have checked with root checker basic. Have enabled root in es file explorer, still same problem.
I have made some photos, in attached files.
Did you also check the option 'mount system directory as writable' in es file explorer options

It helped. Thank you very much!
I recently installed Charmeleon Rom v5.0.0 and I want to get rid of the android_audio.mp3 (boot animation audio).
When I try to delete the file with Root Explorer it says Failed to delete. When I try to delete the file with Terminal Emulator it gives me a access denied error.
I've been trying to find the answer through google for over an hour. It sounds like some Root Explorers you need to Mount R/W to have access to delete/rename files. This sounds like what I need but so far I can't find any Root Explorer apps that mention R/W.
Any ideas?

Did you remount the filesystem to r/w in root explorer before deleting the file?

Thats my issue. I dont know how to mount the /system to be rw.
I guess I'm on the right track but mount /system rw didn't seem to be the correct syntax.
check in tweaks
I used free ver of Rom tool box .there's a one called root browser in that ..

I was able to delete the file with Root Browser within Rom Toolbox Lite.
I think it's odd that the Root Browser included with Rom Toolbox Lite includes extra options that you don't have when you just download Root Browser by itself. Using the version included in Rom Toolbox Lite I updated the folder permissions to include write access then I was able to delete the file.
Thanks!
hello! i just installed cm10, led is not working and when i try to delete lights.msm7x27.so the phone show me this message: could not delete file!
what can i do?
thanks!
Install ES File Explorer from the market, then from its settings enable 'Up to root' 'root explorer' and 'remount /system' you'll then be able to delete it.

Yea its fairly easy, I used FX with root addon but use any root enabled file manager, go to /system/lib/hw and delete the lights_msm7x27.so file reboot your phone and your lights will be working again.
Once I copy the vendor.prop out and change the incrementals I can put it back? aka wont copy paste says read only ive tried changing permissions but it just keeps saying read only any ideas?
you need a file explorer with root rights,eg root explorer
just open and edit it,copy out is not nessary

I recommend making a backup copy of the file before editing it.
