[android-developers] Re: How to become root in emulator?
Hi Meryl You are always root in the emulator. That link is about how to gain root access on a real G1 device. I think the problem is you are trying to (re)mount a wrong partition. On my emulator /dev/block/mtdblock0 is mounted on /system, and remounting it with rw works fine. To make sure what partition you need to remount use the mount command and see what is mounted on /system. Regards.
