Lost 'root' permissions in shell

I seem to have lost the ability to write in the system folder while in an adb shell, even though my command prompt is "#". Thought maybe it had to do with the SuperUser app, so I cleared the data. But I'm never prompted on the phone screen to grant root authority when I attempt root operations via adb shell.

My end goal is to edit the build.prop so I can watch MLB games. Was doing this regularly between nightlies, but now I can't. What did I screw up here?

Looks like this:

# touch /system/junk

touch /system/junk

touch: /system/junk: Read-only file system

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
the "read-only file system" should have been a pretty big hint, but we recently changed it so system is mounted read-only at boot time (which it should be anyway). just mount it r/w before you try to edit anything.

Rogers MMS issues (again)

Hey,

So I just flashed to V7.1.0-RC1 (26 June 2011) from nightly #32 on my Rogers Captivate. I had fixed the MMS issue (hanging on 'sending') by changing the APN settings. After I flashed to V7.1.0-RC1 (26 June 2011) I was unable to 'fix' this MMS issue following said method. Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a fix? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, post count was too low for the thread in the Development section.

Thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
You need to remount /system as read-write (it should have been read-only before but we had left it read-write, but have fixed that now).

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

Set it back to read-only after you have made your change.

Q: I just installed and I don't see any Google Apps.

A: You need to install the Google apps. They are available in ROMManager. ROMManager also asks you if you want to install the Google Apps addon when you install via ROMManager.

Things effect battery life like screen brightness, WiFi, mobile data, gps, elect. and it depends what type of usage you do on your phone (browsing internet, music, texting, elect). Their is no secret sauce that gives you amazing battery life. you just gotta find some middle ground between what you do and whats going in the background (ex. like browsing the web and lower brightness = battery lasting longer)

I've been using the nightly builds for the past two months and had great standby battery life. With mobile data enabled, sync enabled, GPS and BT off, I lost 2% an hour max. However, after flashing the V7.1.0-RC1 update, I have started to lose 8 or 9% an hour. I turned off sync as well as mobile data and still was losing about the same amount. When I look in the battery usage stats, display was in the low 30% range, android system was in the 20's, as well as android OS. Before this update, display used to be about 40-50% and android system and OS were below cell signal at 10 percent or so. I looked in to running services and there was nothing abnormal. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm tempted to flash another nightly...

Use a different port, You can try Uninstall any conflicting installed drivers for now Try updating sdk one more time. Sometimes Java has trouble. ( reboot)Although for adb. it might make the difference. Set environmental variables path: Should be Something like. C:\android-sdk/platform-tools.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I ended up solving my issue in a very round about way, but looking for some advice here, so I have a better way to solve it in the future...

Had just installed nightly #50 (I believe - the most current at the time I type this) coming from I believe #46 or #47. Nightly installed fine, went to do my usual font swapperoo using the Type Fresh app, and rebooted.

The phone would then hang at the initial Captivate/CyanongenMod screen. I went through the steps from the OP to update my SDK and then tried to boot up a copy of Odin OneClick, but Odin never recognized the phone. I was able to get ADB commands to work though and was able to get into the recovery. I still had a KANG on the phone, so I was able to successfully "update" to that, and my phone is now in the process of reading apps and such.

I have a machine running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 ... I did look under Device Manager but never saw a "Nexus S" listed for potential devices. I briefly saw an unknown device, but it went away quickly, and I never had the opportunity to associate the 'new' USB drivers with the phone.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to where I went wrong here and how I can avoid this in the future? I'd definitely like to be able to get back to stock if god forbid I need to do so.

Exactly what it says " fixes permissions" most of the time it fixes FC issues. if needed i usually just reboot into clockwork recovery and fix from there. You can use RM to do this as well. It may or may not fix your wifi problem. I've noticed most wifi issues work themselves out. Either with reboots or unlock and lock the screen. I always thought it was my device and or wifi driver, always turned out to be wifi access point or router. Needed reset. You wont mess anything up fixing permissions. If wifi issue persist. Try flashing another build. Or reflashing the current build.
