I use root explorer. You change it in the top right corner.
Thanks for the info above but I had these problems:
First busybox won't install on my HTC evo. It says root access required.
I tried the commands anyway but after changing to my folder the copy command and rm and ls commands got an access denied - system. Error message
There must be a way to edit or replace
My hosts file in /system/etc folder without rooting this phone.
I paid for the root access program but it also fails with a message saying the phone isn't rooted.
Any more ideas?
Thanks

Guys he just isnt rooted. He was trying to do this without rooting, though he bought an app for root users. You can not write to the /system without root, thats pretty much the whole point in root.
Sounds like you're right, and I just misunderstood what he was trying to say.
Hi,
I have similar problem, but my phone is rooted for sure. In root explorer in system folders I cant switch R/O to R/W .when I edis some file and go to parent folder and back,changes are gone(everything is as before).
When i try to write commands in terminal emulator as you wrote is tell me somthing like "cant find mount"
Do you hnow where is problem?
thank for answer
1) Welcome to the forums .
2) You need busybox before running those commands, so you're going to need to get that installed first.
3) There is no way to modify /system without rooting.
4) Do as others have suggested, and check if you have root by opening the terminal emulator, and typing "su". I'm going to guess you don't have root yet. If you *do*, I forgot a step in the above instructions. You'd need to mount /system as rw by typing this command after su:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
5) What root method did you try? It sounds like it never rooted your phone. It's probably old. What was it? Do you have a link?
I have full root with s-off running Swagged out ROM(you helped me with the S-off a few months ago) I can not write to system folder with root explorer. I get an error saying the file or folder is read only. I checked to make sure root explorer is in r/w mode, super user is good. I just want to change my boot animation but I know I'm fully rooted because you walked me through it. Any ideas why I can't write to system folder?
check your superuser app. does it list root explorer as being allowed access? sometimes it will deny apps access and it will say so in the app. and if that is not the case then try and uninstall and reinstall the root explorer.
also make sure that you have mounted as r/w.
I don't believe I'm mounted as R/W but everything else checks out. I don't even care about the new boot animation anymore, now I just want to understand it. I have S-off, I have flashed plenty of roms, flashed new radios and kernels....I'm getting a migrain. Someone help.
Hi
I also tried to follow akazabam's post to edit the file STATE in /sys/devices/virtual/switch/hdmi/state but the file cannot be saved (it also cannot be deleted with Operation not permitted message from the terminal screen of Android terminal emulator). I have rooted my phone, which is an Alcatel OT-995, I have busybox. Any suggestion?
