Hi,
I am Using MyTouch 4G. I have Rooted mytouch 4g with instructions provided in forum. Now when i use Root Explorer to delete some pre installed apps from phone it is not allowing me to do that. I cannot mount my phone in R/W mode. It is always in R/O mode.
Can Anybody Help please?
Have you tried updating to the lastest version of Root Explorer? That did the trick for me.
you can also delete those apps from titanium backup
Thanks both of you for reply. I will try to update root explorer. BTW what version you are using?

I'm on stock rooted MDL and I can't seem to put my filesystem into read/write. I have tried ES explorer, Solid explorer, and even tried the remount rw command in Terminal Emulator. No joy.
Anyone come across this our have an idea? Haven't tried adb copy yet.

I am also having a similar problem, I just rooted my S4(SPH-L720) running 4.3 MK2(Stock Recovery and ROM) with CF-Auto-Root and when i try to use "SystemApp Remover" it shows system as not mounted. If I use Root File Manager I can change it to R/W and do whatever. But other then that I can not get /system mounted with R/W.

Meh, I couldn't figure it out and never found anything on it. Ended up flashing (Odin) a rooted Stock ROM (4.3 MK2) with philz recovery.
I wanted to keep my phone as close to stock as possible and just have root but inevitably I always go to a custom ROM. So my middle ground was the rooted stock ROM and I've had no issues so far.
I can't delete any system apps with it anymore, does anybody else have the same problem or even a fix for it?
Working fine on 6.01 for me, Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?
I just updated to 6.0.1 myself, rooted using superSU 2.61. I too cannot delete system apps using titanium. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall the app (via playstore) but it didn't help.
I also tried to do the same via the root explorer option in ES file explorer and it didn't work. I tried to toggle the root explorer option in ES, but after I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again. Root checker does say that I have root, and other root apps e.g. adaway, xprivacy still work.
Any help and suggestion is most welcome!

hey guys, "system less root"
That would modify system... Just freeze the apps.

Some people still want to recover the space.
With systemless root you will need to modify the system in TWRP to get titanium and ES working correctly.
It's as simple as going into TWRP and mounting the system R/W.
You then need to open the terminal in the following places:
/system/bin and execute "touch su"
/system/xbin and execute "touch su"
This will create zero byte files for SuperSu to come along and swap/link to on boot so that ES and TiBu can ask for root and get it.
They will then operate as you expect.; with the caveat that you are on your own when you start tinkering and may break something.

Pretty sure you lose Android Pay with this method though, just FYI if you care about that.
But if you are running Xposed you broke it anyway. There is a way to get it working.
You will need to remove the empty su files you just created to be able to add cards.
You will need to use a Xposed module to hide modifications to the system so that the device check comes back clean.
It's a pain, but if you want Xposed, TiBu, ES and Android Pay, that is the price.

I usually use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
I'm not on 6.0.1 at the moment so I can't test if it works. Anyone wanna test it out and report back?

Doesn't work. Apps restore themselves.
As the title states, my device /system is mounted as R/O and cannot be switched. This ROM has a prebuilt rooted in it, but I tried using Root Explorer, ADB on PC, apps on Play Store, but no luck. So I was wondering if there is a work around with this.

Redmi Pro
MIUI 7.6.10 | Weekly Build
Android 6.0
Pre-rooted
What root "manager" are you using (SuperSU)? When you try to make a root operation, does the root manager pops up and asks you to grant root permissions? I think you don't have a root manager installed or working properly...

I'm using internal root, which is not using TWRP to flash SuperSU, and I can assure you that I have root installed.

This app won't lie isn't it?
Okay so recently I have rooted my E4 (Sprint) and can't seem to uninstall system apps. It comes with face book and all that other Sprint bloat. But when i use an app to try to uninstall them, they just stay there. Any help? I'm currently rooted with magisk 13.3 and have xposed installed along with busy box.
install root explorer app and try manually deleting apps (/system/app) (/system/priv-app)
This will work for sure

I've tried using ES file explorer pro and the Facebook or Sprint apps aren't in any of those folders for some reason...

Any way of doing this without a PC? I'm currently away from home and need something mobile
What app are you using to remove the apps? Titanium Backup? I've had TBU not uninstall some apps for whatever reason, but link2sd was able to remove apps. Might want to try it.
I've noticed some of the apps that are carrier installed are in the oem folder, deleted them and problem solved. This was on a metro PCS variant.
This is the oem folder, I used FX file explorer.

I have the Sprint version but when I try to erase any app from those folders the device freezes
It was freezing on me when I was using root explorer pro, that's why I ended up switching to FX. Also when you rooted your device did you do a wipe and then flash noverity and then su because if you didn't do the wipe your phone might still be encrypted and it won't allow you to modify system folders.

I can't get it to work with FX either. It just freezes the phone. I don't get why it works for you.

You could try deleting them in the file browser on twrp
That is how I had said I to do it in the thread I started explaining how to do it. This users problem is they can't find the option to mount the OEM folder in twrp to be able to see the contents in the file manager to edit it.

I formatted the system, flashed magisk then noverity
In order to make it work for me I had to format data in twrp then reboot twrp and then flash noverity first then your root of choice and then it worked.
I REALLY don't want to format again only to find out it may not work..
