I have a sneaky suspicion that because the Excel was a replacement from Scan, I had forgotten to enable USB debugging.
Would that cause the mounting problems

It might do - not to sure. I thought that with out debugging on you would not get ADB to work at all.

Hang tight, we will help you get it sorted, just hit a little issue.

I am just putting CWM5 on mine now and just looked at the /data/ partition and is rw and no option to set it to ro (like you can in /system/)

have you tried doing it again, just follow through the 'how to' and ignore it saying 'read only'? - I take it you have the excel on, even tho' it will be stuck at the balloon logo

yes mate i'm staring at the balloon now.
I will try again with CWM5 and ignore the message and check mate.

Tried it again. Got the failed to copy, file system is read only.
Tried Chmod, and it returned no such file or directory

I have also confirmed the Excel is detected by ADB by typing ADB devices
The annoying part is, that if I type CD /data
ls
It lists the files and folders in there

I am really sorry, but I had an error in the commands I posted (it won't have done any harm) it just would not help to get /data/ writeable.

I have now corrected my posts - re-try the commands I have posted today.

Sorry again. I had it as nande and it should have been nandd as that is the data partition.

I tried the following command
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/nandd /data

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/nandd /data

mount -o remount,rw yaffs2 /dev/block/nandd /data

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/nandd /data

I get invalid argument on three, and it shows usage instructions on another

Thanks mate.

Try,

Code: Select all

adb shell

su

mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/nandd /data
