OTACERTS.zip renaming - Root Explorer says "read only"

[inssane]

If you opened this up, you know what this is.
Trying to rename the .zip to disable OTA and Root Explorer says that it's "read only".
I am half tempted to just delete the file, but needed to ask first.

In Root Explorer, did you tap on the "Remount as R/W" at the top? When you're done renaming, you have to tap that button again to remount as R/O.

Rename it to OTAcerts.zip.BAK

i hadn't done this til now, always thought on it though. guess sometimes ya just need a helpful reminder to give initiative

Yeah, duh, lol. I didn't know about the remount. I just would rather not touch a button on a rooted phone without knowing, even with nandroid, but that in itself makes me feel better.

Thank you. Although I have a different phone, I've been seeking this answer. I'll try it out for size.
