I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix (MB860) with GB 2.3.4 and I have exactly the same problem: that the /system folder remains stubbornly read only, no matter what I do. I have tried a lot of the methods I found in the forums and elsewhere, but to no avail. I suspect the only effective solution will be to install a full .sbf image with an already rooted /system folder, but that will be the very last resort. We are not the only ones with this problem; I have seen the messages of a few others. On some phones, the easy methods just do not seem to work.

So, have you, or others, found an acceptable solution other than to install a rooted sbf image?

I'm a Sony user so not sure if this applies too but is USB debugging on?

I don't remember how i rooted the phone but specifing the filesystem might help

try using

/system/bin/mount -t ext3 -o remount,rw /system
