Since updating to the new froyo I have root, but I cannot get root explorer to be able to access /system in any way possible, it reads it but cannot write/modify.

I have replaced every root file with a new version, even tried the /system on boot set to r/w method with that market app. Its getting frustrated as this has ALWAYS worked before.

You positive you still are root? Try the root process again just for ****s and giggles...

Run one of the following with your phone connected to your computer and try again.
Voodoo:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
Non-Voodoo:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

Yes, I'm getting this too.

Not only this. I use android commander to see what's in the folders.

While I'm in CWM in the phone, Android Commander shows only one folder in /system. That folder is /system/etc. This might explain why I can't flash anything into my phone to save my life. Anyone know what could be causing this?

It's odd because when my phone boots up, Android Commander shows /system will all of it's glory...

I have the exact same issue. Just talked it over with Adrynalyne.

You are going to have to download an All-In-One Odin Package such as

Then, you're going to have to start over and flash your CWM Recovery from jt

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021

Then you Odin flash the modem of the ROM that you want to install, then you use CWM to flash the ROM that you want to install...

Make sure that you do to not flash using Phone. Use PDA option in Odin.

Apparently, it's a corrupt dbdata partition that is causing it. This can happen occasionally when installing VooDoo... Just another reason to stay away from VooDoo... :(

BTW, Is this working for you? I think it's working for me as of yet. I'm not done yet so I can't assure you yet.
