[Q] Unable to mount /sdcard as rw

ttremblay · Dec 6, 2013

I'm currently trying to use adb to push a ROM to my sdcard on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. However, it keeps failing due to /sdcard being a read-only filesystem.

When I adb shell into the phone and type mount, i get this (among others):

Code:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 on /sdcard type ext4 <ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered>

Attempting to mount /sdcard as read-write is not proving fruitful:

Code:

mount -o remount rw /sdcard

Can anyone help? I'm just trying to get a rom on there so i can install it. Unfortunately, the phone never leaves the google screen when i try to boot, so recovery and fastboot are my only options.

To make things easier, copy the .zip file to the folder where you have ADB then try

adb push ./rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip

I never could get things to push to sdcard while in recovery mode no matter what I tried.
adb sideload was how I always did I

Or maybe instead of using "/sdcard" use "/data/media"?

Hello there, my samsung galaxy s2 i9100's internal sdcard suddenly became read-only shortly after updating it to 4.1. I've tried using the command: ''mount -o remount, rw /sdcard'' which works until i reboot or connect it to an external usb storage device. I'm kindly asking if anyone knows a permanent solution to my problem. P.S- I'm a bit new to this android thing so make your explanations as easy as possible. Please help
