Help Problem pushing apps on Nook Color

[nedroid]

I rooted my NC and can use the market to install apps but can't install the Gingerbread KB.

If I use adb push I get a warning "Read Only File System". I've tried chmod 777 chmod -R 777, etc and get permission denied errors. I've tried su but don't have a password.

Tried using File Manager app, terminal emulator and got same errors.

I used auto nooter 2.12.25 on a 1.01 system.

I'm doing this on a Mac using iTerm. I seriously doubt that using Terminal would make any difference, as I manage several Linux servers from iTerm.

Would really appreciate some help or suggestions.

Root explorer let's you set a directory to read write

Are you saying there is no way to do this without purchasing this app?

You can use adb to set the system partition for read/write access. This is the code you need.

adb shell

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
#exit

Thanks!

Worked beautifully.

I had searched the XDA site but not their forums. I have now enrolled there.

I am wary of using graphical file managers with nix boxes. Had one really horrible experience a few years back. More comfortable with the CLI.

Thanks again for the help!
