*blink, blink* You know chmod 777 but you do not know what root is? > Please explain To execute any command in a Linux environment, you need to have permissions to run the command. You do not have permissions to run chmod 777 /data. If you had root access to your phone, you would have permissions to run chmod 777 /data. However, the T-Mobile G1 does not ship with root access enabled. Hence, there is a process, colloquially called "rooting your phone", that (presumably) gives you root access. I haven't done it, as I don't have the need to do it. So, if your goal is to run chmod 777 /data on your own phone, you'll need to root it: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Dream.2FG1.2FADP1 If your goal is to be able to run chmod 777 /data on all Android devices, you can't. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Training: http://commonsware.com/training.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
