Hi
I've installed CM10.2 (last update) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499796) on my Archos 80G9. It also runs the SDE firmware from Archos (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653566). So far, so good, it runs quite nicely, all things concerned. Here's a screenshot to the system info: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ri8n4jb6gyrfz7/Screenshot_2014-11-17-20-56-01.png?dl=0
Now I'm trying to install X-posed Framework, but this won't work. When I try, I get an error that tells me /system can't be mounted. (Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ryaryqkie023sl4/Screenshot_2014-11-17-20-40-16.png?dl=0 )
When I take a look is ES3 if the folder is mounted, it looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4kwv0ja16qz52tq/Screenshot_2014-11-17-20-49-21.png?dl=0 . I can't tick the other boxes here, I get the message "sorry, operation failed" when I try.
I've already tried to use the "mount -o remount,rw /" command, to no avail...
I have no idea how I have to fix this problem and if it's even fixable.
Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance!
Same here...
No solution for that yet.
Before you type the mount command did you type "su" first (without the quotes)?
Just opening up terminal gives you regular user permissions which will not let you run the mount command. You need to become root/superuser first and that's what su does.
Yes I did ... Terminal emulator gives a notification that It's been granted superuser permission, but it still doesn 't Work.

Can you send a screenshot of the "mount" comand and response?
Did the prompt change from $ to #? What was the output of "mount"?
If terminal doesn't work try with superuser adb (allow superuser not only from applications, but from adb). Connect to the device with "adb shell" and issue this command.
Hi, thanks for your response. Here are two screenshots: the first is of the mount command in Terminal Emulator, the second of the same via abd shell. No results.
Very strange, since filesystem seems to be remounted rw Ok.
In fact, I've installed xposed some two days ago on 101g9/cm10.2, so this should work.
Let's try to sort it out.
1) What version of xposed do you try to install? I've used latest stable (2.6 IIRC).
2) Do you use "standard" installation mode in xposed settings (just under the popup window on your screenshot)?
3) Try to issue the following commands in shell after remounting "/" (terminal or adb - doesn't matter)
# touch /system/bin/mytest.tmp
# ls -la /system/bin/mytest.tmp
If the file is created Ok, then the filesystem is mounted read-write correctly.
You can delete this file afterwards with
# rm /system/bin/mytest.tmp
4) Did you grant permanent or one-time superuser permission for xposed? If one-time, try permanent: it can be so, that "cp" fails due to lack of superuser permission.

1) I had 2.7 Experimental, so I uninstalled it and installed 2.6 Stable instead.
2) I do indeed use the "classical" option for installing Xposed.
3) Tried it, gave the following result: the file is created in /System/bin, so I guess /sytem is mounted okay. (see screenshots)
4) I use SuperSU, XPosed had root acces (see screenshot)
Seems to me /system is mounted fine, but Xposed just doesn't know it...
Ok.
The problem is with xposed, obviously.
For me, it complained that it can not remount /system (obviously), but then installed Ok.
So, what I would do
1) Check the filesystem mounts. May be, for some reason, you have /system mount (quite improbably, but nonetheless). Try in the terminal
# mount
It will show a list of all active mounts with the following format
[what is mounted] [where mounted] [blah-blah and stuff]
For example, from anothe device
/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.1/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
You can see that something is mounted at "/system" readonly ("ro" attribute)
2) Check if the /system/bin/app_process.orig already exists
# ls -la /system/bin/app_process.orig
3) Try to use logcat to obtain info. That is tricky
a) On the PC issue command "adb logcat > logcat.txt"
b) Start xposed installer, try to install, get an error
c) on PC press Ctrl-C

Alright, did all of it.
1) Don't fully understand what is listed here, but in the first screenshot is the list of mounts.
2) Checked it, doesn't seem to exist, see second screenshot.
3) Logcat is attached.
Ok, it appears that I got the problem. Need a little time to think how to solve this.
The problem is rather technical. In newer androids supersu has isolated filesystem mounts for different processes.
It means that if you remount filesystem rw in one process, it (read-write-ness) is not accessible to the other process.
I have a little older cm10.2 build (for low-memory devices), perhaps, this was enforced later.
http://su.chainfire.eu/#how-mount (3.5)
So you're saying there's a good chance that if I install version 22_12_2013-13_29_20 (which i was planning anyway), instead of the latest one, the problem could be fixed?
Hmm, I installed the previous version of CM10.2, the problem seems to be persisting...
I noticed something today. I can create and remove files in /system using the emulator. I can't however do this using ES3 file explorer, even though it has root access. I was trying to edit the build.prop file, but it wouldn't let me save my changes.
I then tried to copy a file to /system in es3, this didn't work. Creating a tmp file using emulator did work. Seems I do have rw access to /system, but not with all apps...

Well, it seems like what I've said, filesystem mount encapsulation.
I've noticed one thing - you are using the standalone supersu application. And for me superuser mode is integrated in the system settings near the developer options. May be this is the case, internal superuser is patched already.
Alright, I'll uninstall superSU for now, give it a go with the built-in superuser app. I'll let you know!
Supersu application, theoretically, could have replaced libsuperuser and other stuff integrated in the CM.
So, if just uninstalling does not work, perhaps it will make sense to reinstall CM itself.
P.S. I have mixed feelings with CM. On the one hand it is definitely more fluid, than 3.* or 4.* stock ROMs. On the other hand deep sleep works, well, strange, and the tablet sometimes freezes in the sleep or turns off by itself.
Yes, I have enabled deep sleep, but the battery drains definitely faster in the sleep. For me it is essential, since I mostly use it as a amazon kindle / google books / pdf reader terminal. And most of the time it just sleeps.

Eureka! I re-installed CM, issued the mount-command i used earlier and installed X-posed! I used the built-in superuser app, no such problems as before. I did have to issue the mount-command, but that isn't a problem Is it normal I have to re-issue the mount-command each time I want to access /system rw?
Thanks a million! I can't believe it was something this trivial But I'm so glad it's solved, thanks!

I don't use the deepsleep-option. I do use Greenify to ensure certain apps (like Youtube or Chrome) aren't active in the background. Boot manager to be sure only essential apps boot in the first place. This seems to save me some battery life. Airplane mode as well.
I got this tablet from my dad because it was so slow he couldn't work with it. Even after factory reset, it very quickly became sluggish again. With CM, it feels like it's a new tablet. So no doubts about CM for me
I do have another issue: My pc won't show the tablet in explorer. I can access it via ADB, but I can't access the storage via explorer... I suppose I best start a new topic for that...
Glad the issue was solved. I wonder why the superuser application didn't work.. Deepsleep - it allowed the tablet to lose, say, 10-15% charge during a week sleep. Very handy if the tablet is used not often - really miss it.
Explorer connection - if I remeber correctly, you should go to settings -> storage (where the size of apps/pictures etc is shown). Then press the three dots in the upper right corner, select "usb computer connection" and select MTP.
P.S. I wonder also if CM12/Android 5.0 in the "development" section is worth a try...

So I was having the issue with the settings menu force closing after I rooted the device.
This morning I've done a factory data reset, gone to turn the tablet on, and I'm not getting "The application OLS (process com.sony.nfx.app.ols) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Can't access the device, tried another factory data reset, can't flash a firmware as I can't access the device.
Not very happy at all.
But any ideas please?
**I can get into the settings menu and when I press the home button is when I get the OLS force close, so I assume it's the home launcher, I did remove it when my device was working.....
I can't access device storage either, even when my device is on - or ADB, but I can access an SD Card through the boot menu.
Well factory reseting doesn't restore anything you deleted from system, but wipe anything else you installed.. so there's the big problem.
On my tab, I can force a boot loop by holding volume down when booting (hold vol down for what seems like an eternity/till you are satisfied that it is boot looping).
ADB seems to work here, so you could potentially push a different launcher apk and get it going that way.
Thanks for the response Dan,
What I can do is start the device, there's no launcher there, but inbetween the force closes I can get into the settings, there's no force closes when I'm in there.
I connect the USB, ADB Devices and it shows, I can pull from the /system but not push.
As soon as I type ADB Shell, then the commands, it tells me "error: device not found"
Exit out of ADB Shell, ADB Devices again, and it's there - but ADB Devices when inside ADB Shell shows nothing.
I've tried all of the OTA packages in the other thread and nothing - I'm at a bit of a loss, i doubt Sony would work with me on this one, so It looks like I've got £349 of paper weight. Any ideas on the ADB? At least then I could push a launcher in.
The issue clearly is becuase there's no launcher.
I remove the default launcher from the /system/app folder and install ADW, the factory reset obviously removed it, hence there's no launcher...
What if the APK for ADW was made into an update.zip?
Would it flash when I hold down power + volume+, Update System from zip?
bummer
Not really sure what can be done if you deleted them from the system and the reset does not reinstall them.
Perhaps someone who has rooted can send them to you, but not sure how that would work.
I'll get in touch with Sony tomorrow, now I know that this is my own fault, but under the warranty they are still abliged to fix it, I certainly won't be rooting it again, thats for sure.
I hope they will help me if I'm honest?
Did you have a look at if ADB works for you in the forced boot loop state I mentioned? It could possibly do some extras from there that you can't otherwise.
Also just try sending a third party launcher in so it's doesn't have to go to system, perhaps it will let you write the file then. And hopefully auto - detect it upon booting .
Tried it Dan, if I attempt ADB Install launcher.apk, it starts installation then;
[1] Killed pm install /data....
I'm getting permission denied in every ADB command when in the Boot Loop.
Thanks anyway - I've emailed them, and been totally honest about what I've done.
I could swear all day - I've fixed it, my tablets working again, what a bloody relief. Thanks ADB!
I tried to duplicate your problem with adb :-
Typed ADB Devices - reports attached device OK
Typed ADB Shell - prompt changes to $
Typed ls - shows root of tablet
Typed cd system - changed to system directory
Then ls again then cd app then ls again - shows all system apps
I then typed ADB devices again and lost the connection to the tablet
It would seem that on my tablet at least that typing ADB devices whilst within the ADB shell breaks the connection with the tablet
Thanks for testing it praed0r, I'm pleased to know that it's not just me that had that issue.
It may be of use to someone, but what I did was mount the /system partition as rw using busybox.
Code:
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
From there I removed the app that kept forceclosing, in this case it was OLS (or something like that)
I then mounted the /data drive with;
Code:
busybox mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data
Then using cp instead of ADB Push,
Code:
cp /sdcard2/golauncher.apk /system/app/golauncher.apk
Rebooted the device and it all worked fine, GoLauncher booted as my default launcher.
For some reason it didn't like adb push, and would give me permission errors, but mounting as busybox fixed it all....
I changed the build.prop so that it would system update, it indeed does, but all STOCK apps (Sony apps) force close, it could be becuase of the framework.jar from the other thread, so I'll try and source one from a kind individual. Then I'll do the update and my system will be OK.
I'd consider myself very lucky this time, lesson learnt not to tweak with things.
I'll stick to the build.prop/local.prop tweaks for now
Any idea why the system apps aren't working, i've retraced my steps to before it happened, the only notable thing that would have an affect was changing the framework.jar?
Hi, I've been trying to move all my game data from my internal SD card to my larger external SD card with no joy.
I have used condi's AIO tool to install init.d support, which reported as successful, but when I follow obicom's instructions as listed in POST #43 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490116&page=5
I repeatedly receive the message "Operation not permitted."
I have used both ADB Shell and Terminal Emulator with the same result.
I'm obviously doing something wrong as other people appear to have had success with these instructions, I just don't know what.
Here's what I've done: (on rooted ICS from condi's AIO tool)
Installed init'd support "successfully"
Moved all data from sdcard/Android/data over to sdcard2/game_data
In ADB Shell/Terminal Emu. entered the following line;
mount -o bind /sdcard2/game_data /sdcard/Android/data
and this is where I get the "Operation not permitted" message.
Any ideas?
Once you're in shell, before running the mount command, run the command 'su' first (without the quotes). Your prompt should change from $ to # and try running the mount command again.
Explained: In most Linux systems, unless the fstab has been specifically setup to do it with the user option, filesystems can only be mounted by root. In rooted versions of Android, the normal user can elevate into a root prompt with su, then allowing you to mount and unmount any filesystems.
Ahaaa
Awesome! Can't believe it was something so simple, thanks, and thanks for explaining the reason.
I must have somehow totally missed the "su" instruction in the other thread.
Half of my games work, the other just seem to need re-installing which is no big drama.
Again, thanks, it's much appreciated mate.
Script?

Hi, is there a way I can create a script (or the like) that would do this, and other similar directory changes, at boot?
At present I need to enter these manually each time the tablet starts, which isn't too much of a drama for me but when other people use it they end up downloading the data all over again when they start a game.
Thanks
There is an app available on Google Play called Script Manager (which can be used to create scripts to run at boot as su (which mount command require), which should do what you need. You'll need to use a plain text editor (I believe there is one included with Script Manager) to enter each of the mount command you want to run on a separate line. Then set the file to executable (chmod +x scriptname), and add it to Script Manager.
Note that I haven't used it in a while, so follow whatever instructions Script Manager gives you. They're probably more up to date.

Operation not permitted
Hi,i wanted to change my mac address on phone and even with that su command i get "operation not permitted" (my phone is rooted)...even apk named overclock for android could not grant root acces...in root checker my phone is rooted(and i have been rerooting it but still same).AND THERE IS NO FIX ON INTERNET
I thought I'd post this...even though I'm a noob...so that others can benefit if possible. If you're using the JRummy BusyBox installer, please be careful with the Advanced Install option. Here's why:
After rooting my phone I installed JRummy's BusyBox installer. First, after checking busybox.net for the latest stable install version, I did a full install without the symlink apps option selected. Then I did another full install with the symlink apps option checked. Finally, after reading through the entire list of available commands and what they did, I decided to do an advanced install. I selected "Remove Symlinks" for each of the busybox commands I wanted NOT to have available in Terminal Emulator.
Soon after the advanced installation, I noticed that Terminal Emulator wasn't working. Then I noticed that my WiFi connection wasn't working...specifically the part in which the phone attempts to lease an address using DHCP. After emailing the developer with my issue, I tried to re-install BusyBox manually based on a link he included in the reply. I could push the file to the phone using 'adb push' but when I tried to open a shell to run the install commands, I would get the following error: exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) . Long story short, I had to re-flash the phone using Odin to fix it.
In the AFWall+ logs, around the time I ran the Advanced Install, there were a bunch of entries like this: ld_library_path=/vendor/lib:/system/lib busybox rm /system/xbin/strings exit. There may have been a -s after the 'rm' command and before the directory but I'm not completely sure. After I flashed the phone with Odin, I opened Root Explorer and took a look at the files under /system/bin/. I noticed that the commands that can be run without installing busybox...like ls, or ifconfig...were linked to 'toolbox'. /system/bin/sh was linked to mksh.
After more research and reading, I'm about 90% sure what happened. Here's an excerpt from the email I sent to the developer:
<snip>
Basically, the "Remove Symlinks" option in your app does either one of two things:
It removes the directories entirely
It removes the symlinks to busybox, but doesn't restore the original symlinks that were present before busybox was installed.
<snip>
So if you're using this particular installer, please be careful with the Advanced Option.
Please help

Hello I installed BusyBox and I had same issue with WIFI also others for example after reboot of my tablet wholle setting is set to orignaly(language and everithing).How can put back everithing?Does exist some apps etc???Thank you.
OMG... i installed busybox with this app into /system/xbin on my dopo d7015 with advanced install... and then the problems started... 0 total internal size, wifi not acquiring ip with dhcp ... no factory restore could fix it. then i eventually learned that /system/bin/sh didn't exist when trying to adb shell. i've downloaded an sh binary and copied it, now i have valid internal total size, and android terminal works... but wifi won't even turn on now! like an idiot i didn't backup before i started playing with the tablet... i have no clue as to how to fix it! please someone help me!
With one version of this app, it said Busy box 1.20.x is not compatible for my phone. But busy box installer by Stericson does the job perfectly.

I own an irulu K1001L1 10.1 (build number A20_K1001_K1001L1.20130713), a cheap one.
Many people complain about "partial rooting" and being unable to remount system in rw mode. Clueless as I was, I had tried several times with Uberizer, z4root and SRSroot, to no avail (the problem is not in the root, in my tablet su came by default in xbin directory).
D_rex (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2606510&page=2) found an effective solution which also helped in my situation: I think my tablet came with "su" application by default (notice overclocking worked) but due to /dev/block/nandd ext4 partition (I think /system starts at some offset) containing some errors (seen in dmesg) and due to this partition having the "s_errors" flag (behavior when errors detected) set to "mount read-only (02)", the partition is ALWAYS mounted read only, and remount as root doesn't change anything. More info on this ext4 option can be found here: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout.
For me, the solution that worked was changing that flag s_errors to continue (01). I wasn't able to run e2fsck as the partition is already mounted; and I wasn't able to do a fsck in recovery mode since the recovery mode of this tablet lacks seems to lack both shell and e2fsck.
Tune2fs (old version precompiled here can change that flag in the partition. Using adb shell I pushed it to de device, set attribute as executable and run it, successfuly changing that "behavior when errors detected" in both partitions.
It has been suggested filesystem errors are linked to stability and realiability problems. Unfortunately this tablet lacks a version of CWM o TWRP as a recovery custom rom. I also adjusted the "max-mount-counts" value via tune2fs -c hoping it forces Android to run e2fsck, but it seems dmesg keeps displaying errors. I can only hope this problem is given more attention by developers.
After this I used the usual tools to root the device, noticing I had spent many hours in this cheap tablet. I should also mention by default now my tablet mounts in read-only mode (which is of course safer) but lets me change to rw whenever I want.
I have not been able to fix the ext4 errors. As others have explained, ls -al /dev/block can be used to better understand the images structure. System partition (nandd) contains the file e2fsck , but that file seems to be unavailable before mounting. Editing init.rc and associated files didn't force a diskcheck; I have not tried imaging the recovery partition (/dev/block/nandg) with dd and manually adding the required tools.I should also mention by default now my tablet mounts in read-only mode (which is of course safer) but lets me change to rw whenever I want.
On a side note, the adb driver setup tool found here didnt work for me (it seems &USER_PROFILE% in the .bat file should be replaced by "%USER_PROFILE%" and Desktop should be replaced according to the language of your operating system. Nevertheless the tool didn't work for me and I had to install another driver found in Uberizer distribution as the official "android_winusb.inf" didn't work in my Windows XP computer.
Thanks to the creators of tune2fs, to D_rex and other people/programs mentioned here. This is my experience with this problem; I'm not responsible if anyone tries this and bricks his device. All brands are property of their owners.
Good luck and Good bye
Hi all,
So I've spent hours trying to solve this, using everything I have found on the Internet.
Basically I have an android box that's running 4.4.2. I need to mount a NAS box onto the file system. I can do this no problem using Terminal as SU. As soon as I use another App to navigate to the location, the mounted location isn't visible. I know that it is a known bug/security restriction after 4.2, and is due to multiusers or something. People have suggested including the mount command into /system/bin/debuggerd because the start command is a system command that has higher privileges or something. Anyway, I've tried this by just removing the contents of debuggerd and typing the following:
#!/bin/sh
mount -o username=JOELB,password=password -t cifs //192.168.1.252/PUBLIC /data/media/0/NAS
However, this doesn't work on boot, or if i run 'start debuggerd'
Apparently /data/media/0 is the location I should be mounting to, due to the bug/security flaw. Apps like mount manager are useless because they only work for that app.
Can anyone help me on this... It's killing me!!
Many thanks
Joel
