Remove bloat. Read only file system....help!!!

[Cheykenzie]

I could really use some help here....I have a Visual Land Prestige 7G running 4.1.1. After much hair pulling I finally managed to root it using cydia, and snappea, but am still unable to remove bloatware (angry birds, play books, etc). I have tried titanium backup, link2sd, es file explorer, and several others. All they manage to do (if anything) is remove the updates. I know nothing about the terminal, but tried this command "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3" but it said "mount: read only file system". So, I'm assuming that is my problem. I tried using Es explorer to change that to r/w, but it won't. Any ideas on how to get around this?

Try running su before you run the mount command.

You're trying to mount the filesystem as rw when you're not root. (That's what rooting is for - so an app can issue the su command and get root.)

I'm not sure that I understand you. Su is granting permission to everything, and every root checker app I have tried says I am rooted :/ Uhg...so confused at this point. Lol

Are you referring to the su command in the terminal? Sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense....still trying to figure all this out. When I use the terminal, this is what's happening:
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-0 options] [-t type] device directory
1|shell@android:/ #

I'm not familiar with android like I am pc, so I'm not sure what that even means :/

It wasn't doing that the last time I tried though....it would just say "mount: read only file system"

Do you have a custom recovery?

Flash this if you do.

Everything is stock.

Ah, too bad lol. I made that flash zip which installs Supersu on to /system, su binary on to /system/bin (then symlinked to ./xbin), and also .su to ./etc (but its a hidden folder/file). Does it all. And it comes with busybox 1.21.1 as well. If you can get a custom recovery on your device that flashable zip I provided should do the trick. It hasn't failed me yet.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to do that. :/
