because the file initially started to download, the full amount of memory has been allocated, and so i went to file manager and tfried to delete the file

i cant even delete the file now as i get the same read only memory error. how do i fix this?

To scared to root my phone. Actually. I am too scared to do anything in xterminal. stil studying a noob tutorial on it but this seems to be a cool noob fix for other folks like me

I had this exact same issue. I rebooted like 4 or 5 times and it works just fine now. i can edit/delet/move/copy or what ever in the file manager now. also those same bit torrents that once showed the same error msg in red are now downloading just fine. if prob persists i will update

Re: what is going on??? ("read-only file system" error)

just had this problem tonight.

tried the umount fsck solution but it didnt i still had the issue after trying it directly on the phone, and hooking the phone up to my linux box.

after rebooting my phone about 4 times it seems to have solved the issue.

same problem but can not get red of it plz help

Re: what is going on??? ("read-only file system" error)

transmission isn't really working on this device. u want to try ctorrent and the flashlite patch. It can't read udp and dead tracker atm but u can solve this by editing the torrent with www.torrenteditor.com. also u want to tweak nr_requests of the filesystem to optimize throughput or bandwith and not the speed of the filesystem. u want to search for the user nightfire who posts a solution to massive optimize throughput in demanding i/o situations. u want to try my tune-up tools too because it do a similar thing.

Could be a corrupted file system.
Try the following from X-Terminal

Code:

sudo gainroot

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1

fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs

Re: what is going on??? ("read-only file system" error)

Im have had this problem too. Solved by rebooting several times, then tried to copy files from computer to phone via USB cable, rebooted one more time, and then tried to copy some files from SD card to phone storage and it worked. :)

Re: what is going on??? ("read-only file system" error)

Ive had a transmission, read-only file system problem for a week or too, found this today and once I had entered the commands it was sorted straight away.

root
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck.vfat -aw /dev/mmcblk0p1
reboot

I just copied and pasted that to the terminal. Ive also saved it to a notepad incase I have the same problem in the future.
