Default [Q] System partition rw not sticking?

Setup: Windows-7 64 bit, Nook Color rooted, ADB enabled

Hi all,

Using the instructions laid out in the Nook Color portal at Nook Devs, I still can't seem to write or delete system apps. The mount command indicates the partition is rw, but Astro keep on saying is a read-only.

Also, when I reboot, the rw attribute is lost and reverts back to ro.

Any ideas?

Regards,
George

Just a thought, could it be the unit is not NAND or security unlocked, thus not allowing you to write to system?

Personally I am not sure, but this is what first came to mind.

yes, nookdevs is what I was following. my idea was to get some stock 2.1 apks working. I haven't messed around with this too much though, as I really do not want to hose my machine.
