Hi,

I'm trying to change the boot animation for Android on a Sabre SD Platform with iMX6DL by following the guide in the FAQ. When trying to remount /system as read-write, I get a "Permission denied" error. I've tried using both a Terminal emulator on the device itself, and an adb shell. Can anyone who has managed to change the boot animation, or remount the file system help me out? Thanks!

You need to use sudo to remount the partition.

Have a great day,
