it didnt work for me, i have a tmobile g1 with cupcake crb43 and it gives me permission denied even with su.
I have taken all measures and y am running adb as root in linux but i dont figure it how to reach the root in the phone.

I will apreciate any indications, thanks in advance.

Folks, the key to do this is -

> su

which switches you to the root user, then

> mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I tried it on my Cupcake. Works! :)

Sorry I didn't check nack earlier, but I was on vacation ;-) I tried using adb as Adminstrator (Win XP SP 3) as well as sudo-ing (Ubuntu 9.04). But both did not yield any results other as the already mentioned. I'll let you know if I find any other way than first downgrading and re-updating.

Thanks for your time anyway!

2009-05-26T06:03:00.832+10:00

Hmmmm very curious... are you root or super user on your machine, what is the host OS? Maybe it is to do with running ADB as root? I've run out of ideas, just clutching at straws!

2009-05-26T03:36:58.991+10:00

Nope, su-ing and sudo-ing also give me permission denied. Regardless which operation I try. Even "su ls" or "sudo ls" will not work... Well, would have been a to easy way anyway ;-)

2009-05-26T01:11:10.207+10:00

2009-05-25T23:20:41.547+10:00

I just tried it on my G1 running Cupcake. I checked the USB debugging two times, adb shell does start, but I get the same error message Konrad gets:

"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount: Operation not permitted"

Could this be related to both of us using German models? Are there differences between UK and continental G1's?

2009-05-21T18:43:12.082+10:00

yes, its OS independant. Google do SDKs for OSX / Linux and Win (in my opinion order of desirability ;-) ) at http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html.

Did you put the USB into the correct mode?

2009-05-21T09:08:18.738+10:00

Oh, right, I didn't realise that the shell was on the phone (via ADB).

So this is linux/mac/windows-independent and does not work for Android 1.5, because "mount: Operation not permitted" for me.

I don't see why not. There are instructions on con...

2009-05-21T03:52:01.609+10:00

I don't see why not. There are instructions on connecting the Android by USB.

2009-05-21T02:05:48.588+10:00

Could this also work on other Unix-like systems (as Ubuntu GNU/Linux)?

This sounds very easy, unlike the downgrade-upgrade-1-hour-procedures described elsewhere.

I have android 1.5 (cupcake) on a german G1 phone.
