Can not use Root Explorer to copy files to system\app with Build shubCRAFT CM6/Froyo/V1.3.
I tried mount R/W, but it did not change r/o to r/w.
Anybody can help? Thanks!

Here you go:
- open Terminal emulator:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
- open Root Explorer \system folder and press r/w
- voila
Thx to doberman
Thank you very much!
I copied the file, while the Java doesn't work yet.
Anybody uses this and suggest?

I found a way to return to the recovery 2e
recovery 2e
Copying a file using the Root Explorer
# unzip and put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
# first mount -o remount,rw /system (important options in Root Explorer for do this)
# file recovery copy to /system/bin (and replace)
# xbi folder contents copy to /system/xbin/ (and replace)

Method by captive thanks buddy
# put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
# open a shell and get root (ADB or Terminal on Phone, type su and pres enter / accept )
# remount /system rw (busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)
# rename recovery in /system/bin to recovery3e (for backup purposes)
# copy "recovery" from /sdcard/recovery2e/ to /system/bin/ (cp /sdcard/recovery2e/recovery /system/bin/)
# copy the folder /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery to /system/xbin/ (cp -rr /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery /system/xbin/)
# enjoy!

Isn't anyone going to comment on this?
Gurus: does it really work? That simple?
Thanks
Didn't work for me - used root explorer method. Now just hangs when I try to get recovery mode. Can get download mode ok still, and phone boots ok of course. Running JPM with root and voodoo5 3. Anything else to try?
Does not work on JPM....
it no works.
Phone: Doc's JP6 + voodoo pre3 + rooted
Method: Root explorer.
1, during copy the xbin folder to system, it shows "replace files" but after i check inside the system/xbin, the files are disappared??!! I did manually copy everything one after one from xbin to system/xbin, but i can't see where they are after copy.
2, anyway, i reboot the phone with 3b combo, the recovery mode still showing 3e.
so i say it no works. anyone tried the cable methed?
this thing work but it needs a little workaround as discussed by danzel. follow here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774500&page=188
Could you please update the instruction for jp6 + voodoo pre4?
abd remount (don't know why) isn't working and /system is always ro so adb push and shell (adb shell works) cmd aren't working.
It is correct to remove su and busybox int the extracted folder since i have both already installed?
I was on JPM, followed the instructions.
Phone couldn't boot, lost ability to enter recovery. Luckily I could still enter Download mode, flashed to JPM, but being on voodoo kernel before that, didn't managed to disable lagfix before getting into this trouble - Couldn't revert back to RFS, and without ability to enter recovery to format.
Finally reverted back to Eclair firmware, could see my beloved recovery again. No way I'm going through the above again.
The above is just my own experience, for reference just in case someone is as unlucky as me.
This is the clear step on recovering the recovery2e
Recover recovery2 e
1. uncompress the downloaded file recovery 2e and copy the direcotry to sdcard and rename it to recovery2e
2. Using root explorer copy File recovery from recovery2e on sdcard to /system/bin
3. Using root explorer copy Folder recovery in xbin to /system/xbin
4. If did not work try copy xbin folder over /system/xbin folder
Ok, confirmed working for me on JPM+Voodoo.
I installed Rom Manager too, and CWM Recovery is fully working too!! TNX

Your method DO NOT work at all. I cannot enter recovery mode.
Fortunately download mode is still available.

lagigia, what didn't work for you?
Here's what I did:
put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
open a shell and get root
remount /system rw (busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)
rename recovery in /system/bin to recovery3e (for backup purposes)
copy "recovery" from /sdcard/recovery2e/ to /system/bin/ (cp /sdcard/recovery2e/recovery /system/bin/)
copy the folder /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery to /system/xbin/ (cp -rr /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery /system/xbin/)
enjoy!
if using the root explorer method, copy xbin folder content, do not try to overwrite the entire dir on top.

too late is there a way to solve it or get a step back?

i think u can just flash only the old kernel back and it will be fixed (only zimage).

Thanks, works fine on JPM/JP6
Could we get a newbie friendly guide please. Get root. What does that mean and should i just type what you quoted. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Edited the first post and put the new, easy tutorial
Could i get some background on this, please?
Is it correct that:
1) recovery2e is the default samsung recovery?
2) new versions of recovery2e can't apply all the update.zip we were able to apply with the older versions? (unsigned, signed??)
3) This is why we need the old recovery2e to replace the new one?
4) Where did the issue started? Since Froyo releases?
5) Is this why we can't root Froyo FWs with an update.zip anymore like it was the case with Eclair?
I'm really sorry if this is kinda obvious but i never really saw any clear explanation about this. Hope someone could clear it up for me
1) Yes
2) Correct on recovery 2e you can't apply all the update.zip
4) Yes, New tutorial on fist post
4) The JPM ROM brings new recovery 3e
5) You can root phone by flash kernel with root by odni
I'm trying to delete a default application from my droid (WriteandGo) by deleting both the .apk and .odex file from /system/app using root explorer.
The phone is rooted, in Root Explorer and the partition appears mounted as r/w. When I delete both files it works fine and they disappear, but when I go back and then return to the app folder the files are there again. The application never gets uninstalled.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Use titanium backup to uninstall sytem apps..
Thanks, it does work, but I'm curious as to why root explorer is failing to delete the files..

That is because the /system partition is mounted read only.
To mount read-write, install ADB.
Set phone to USB debug.
Then:
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system
Then go the the appropriate directory and remove the files with "rm".
So the info Root Explorer is supplying (that the partition is mounted as r/w) is wrong? That's odd, because I've managed to copy a file to /system/etc/.

After first boot: remove /data/misc/wifi and reboot.

How do I do that?
Thanks!
Use Es file explorer (with root option checked) to browse in root directory and delete said folder.
Use Terminal Emulator, get root via su, navigate to the /misc folder by cd ./misc and remove the ./wifi folder via rm -rf ./wifi
Would someone please tell me how to change permissions on a read-only system file? I logged into and adb shell, I have root, but I could not execute this command: "chmod 777 HotspotProvision.apk" or "mv HotspotProvision.apk". I get an error saying the file is read-only.
I am trying to follow the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
I also could not change the file name using Astro file manager.
Root explorer or root browser from the market will let you mount system r/w
