Can't write to Android Internal Memory
Hi, guys. I'm having a hell of a time writing to my internal memory. I have a developer edition Moto X that is rooted and I have several tools to connect and write to it.
OK, this is what I've tried.
-- I remounted the "system" partition and it shows up as "rw" when I run mount! Yet I still can't write to it via SFTP. I get a "read-only" memory error.
-- I can write to the SDcard and I tried writing my file there and then moving it to internal memory using ES file explorer. Again I got the "read-only" memory error.
Is this a corrupt file system, or is this normal? Is this a user/shell permission issue? Please help....I'm no Linux expert and I really need to put a script in internal memory. Thanks in advance to all.

Oh, and I just wanted to add that remounting in rw mode was not needed. I remounted in ro mode again and it still works.

1) a rooted bootloader busy-box and super-user installed.
2) ES explorer WITH the "root explorer" turned on. This is found by going to menu button -> tools -> scroll down to "root explorer".
I was able to copy my script with no problem from the sdcard to /etc after this button was pressed.
