    Okay I'm VERY familiar with Android phones. Most of you should/do know that by now. I'm a loyal HTC user

    I have a co-worker that came to me with a stock Droid X and asked if i could remove the VZ Navigator from the phone. He didn't want that program on their so it couldn't be used by mistake.

    So i downloaded installed and ran z4 to gain SU access. Super user installed perfectly. hooked his phone up to my Linux netbook and tried to go into the ADB shell, picked up the phone, ran a

    Code:
    ls /sytem/app
    kicked out all of the system apps located the com. name for the navigator
    so i went to type

    Code:
    adb shell
    Instead of the typical # i got the $ so i type SU and it said that it was denied.

    so i figured what they hay i'll try it anyway

    Code:
    $ mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblk3/block /system
    and it kicked back that i didn't have permission to do that.

    So i downloaded Super Manager gave it root access and deleted the .apk from the /system/app file and it took it off the phone. So my end cause was met. But does anyone know why the adb shell wouldn't give me the frakking permission i needed to do it via ADB shell?

    It would seem that if your ROOTED those commands should have worked. Although was the X rooted or temp rooted? Only thing I can think of.

    Also assuming just rooted and not a Custom rom?
