Can't mount /system to read/write with ADB

[my95z34]

I'm using the ADB Shell, and I haven't had any issues until now. I downgraded to RC29, and I'm now attempting to use ADB to upgrade to modded RC30 using the wiki. But every time I run

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I get an error saying

mount: Operation not permitted

I've also tested to see if the /system was read/write, but it isn't.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!



//edit// I get the same error when I run it from Terminal Emulator on the phone.

Well, of course, as soon as I posted this, I fixed it. I did the rest of the steps through telnet on the phone and it worked. I flashed the Dev Phone bootloader, and am now flashing the hacked RC30.

Well, I'm excited!

I could never get it to mount either. What did you do to get it to mount the system directory with r/w privileges?

Never mind I found this post http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13441 which worked well for me.

please help others .. don't just say "i fixed it" - tell us what you did to fix it, or if you did something wrong the first time .. this will benefit others ..
how would you feel if you asked a question, and the only reply is "i know the answer, but not going to tell you" ..
