Mount System as RW - Root Explorer

[RasJacob]

I need some help getting to the bottom of my problem with mounting /system as RW in Root Explorer. First off, I am rooted and Root Explorer has Super User permissions. When I go to the /system folder and hit mount RW in Root Explorer nothing happens.

I can mount system as RW in adb by doing:

mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

I would just like to be able to do it in Root Explorer. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.

check the superuser app and see if root explorer has permissions

then try to go to
settings>applications>manage applications>root explorer>clear cache and data> then uninstall
then reinstall and try again

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem.

Are you sure you have root?
get terminal emulator free from the market
open it and type su
$ should turn into #

 

[RasJacob]

Yep. I type in SU and hit enter, get the supper user permission request, click allow and then get the #.

Thanks again for your help. It is a little thing, but it is driving me crazy that I can't get it to mount R/W in Root Explorer.

try super manager from the market for now till its figured out

Thanks. Super Manager works. Very odd that it will mount as R/W but Root Explorer won't??? Oh well, I will just use it for now.

Appreciate your help.
