Help Please Help - System partition is still protected

[slappy_joe]

Hello SGS2 experts !

A riddle for you guys:

After performing CF-ROOT and changing the kernel to a rooted kernel and trying to install a software that requires root access the following is displayed:
"The system partition is still protected. please check your device"

Does anyone have a clue ?

Any help is appreciated

It seems that CF-ROOT do give root perm but the system partition is not writable.
Does anyone know how to make the system partition writable ?

Could I ask why you need a system partition?

Here is an example:
[Root App] Google Talk 1.3 with Video calling for Samsung Galaxy s2 | Samsung Galaxy S 2

Some apps do need access to system partition....

Just read the thread quickly and cannot see where it says it requires a system partition. Could be me being particularly stupid. Could you point me to it in the link please?

Either change the permission of the required folder(s) to rw via a terminal session, or (as in the article you linked to) use a file manager that lets you do it. Note that /system is always mounted read-only at boot.
