[GUIDE] Using Jide's REMOUNT_RW=1 method to achieve R/W

Using Jide's REMOUNT_RW=1 method to achieve R/W
Both of these methods assume you have used Jide's latest Installer for either 32bit or x64 RemixOS 3.x install.

For 32bit RemixOS legacy installs

You will want to make sure you can view hidden and system files in Explorer options (if you need to , google it), Once you do that, travel to C:\RemixOS (where the installer should have installed it) and using Notepad++ or your code editor of choice, find and open the menu.lst file. Then add the REMOUNT_RW=1 entry like you see below:

Code:

---

default 0
timeout 10

title Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved
find --set-root /RemixOS/kernel
kernel /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 SRC=RemixOS/ REMOUNT_RW=1 DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
boot

---

For RemixOS x64 or UEFI installs

You will also want to make sure you can view hidden and system files in Explorer options (if you need to , google it), Once you do that, hit the start menu, and type in CMD, and then right click, and open as administrator. It should look like the window below:

Once that is open, type in:

Code:

---

mountvol X: /S

---

Then open Notepad++ or your favorite code editor as administrator (the same was as before, right click and open as administrator), and browse to X:\BOOT\grub\ and open grub.cfg (Explorer.exe will not show the mounted partition, so we use Notepad++ as an Admin to do this). Then add the REMOUNT_RW=1 entry like you see below: (mine might vary from yours a tiny bit)

Code:

---

menuentry 'Remix OS - RW' --class android {
        search --file --no-floppy --set=root /RemixOS/kernel
        linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 REMOUNT_RW=1 DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
        initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}

---

Once you are done, save it, and close Notepad++, then go back to the admin CMD prompt and type

Code:

---

mountvol X: /D

---

This will dismount the UEFI volume for safe reboot.

I hope this helps some of you get what you need with root. I personally create a separate root entry in my grub.cfg that let's me select standard or R/W, so in the event of an OTA update, it should be able to complete without issues.
