I am running custom rom Rooted 2.1 v0.3.
Ever since flashing to the custom rom, when i try to push a file, such as:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
I get the error:
Failed to copy.... Read-only file system.
I didn't have this error before flashing to the rom. Does this have something to do with superuser whitelist?
I have tired:
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and it didn't work and I tired:
adb remount
winch returned:
Operation not permitted.
This is ticking me off since I didn't have this problem until flashing the rom.
EDIT: Now if I try:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media,
I get:
Permission denied.
This is crazy.
I need help also. Rooting for first time and trying to get recovery.img on and keep getting read only errors. Tried remount to no avail. Help please
su
mount -o rw,remount /Dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
file system is case sensitive!
if anyone know what command to execute an install or push of "any.apk" via Android Terminal Emulator. It would help me greatly.
p.s.
make sure you have developer mode enabled "settings" and accept su permissions. Also have BusyBox

I had the same problem. From what I could tell, I had the wrong ADB driver somehow. So I downloaded the drivers from the HTC website and went to device manager (Win7) and updated the driver software which fixed the problem. But I think i just lucked out when i stumbled onto that, I feel a blind retard with epilepsy trying to draw a circle on an etch-a-sketch when I'm doing things like rooting. But, it couldn't hurt to try it.

Did you ever get this fixed? I have the same problem!
I have the same problem also. I've been using SDK just fine for over a month or two, and now that I'm on V3, no worky. Somethings obviously going on. But what?!

I think the proper permissions were not set for this ROM. Hopefully jcase can modify the file and re-upload the ROM =)
at least that's what I've gathered... someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong
edit: I looked at the script file and it seems like rw permissions are set properly???
jcase - any insight?
I personally get a bunch of "Out of memory" errors when trying to follow the recovery walk-through.

So i rooted my vibrant with the hopes of removing some of the bloatware. i rooted with the one click root method, loaded clockwork recovery, i know i am rooted but every time i try adb remount i get remount failed: no such file or directory.
so i tried going into clockwork recovery in the partition menu and mounting system there and trying adb remount and got remount failed: operation not permited. i ran adb root and got root can not run on factory builds (or something close to that)
in adb shell ive tried mounting every which way i can think of and nothing works.
ive searched all over and havent been able to find a fix, please help
root explorer didnt work either
also i tried deleting the system apps with root explorer and it would mount either
adb remount wont work on a factory kernel like it says
you can use adb shell and use su to give you root access, you also need to remount /system so it's not a read-only filesystem, there are several posts around here detailing how

Does anyone know where to get the busybox binary that will work on the nexus 10? Also, how do you manually copy it to the system folder? I'm rooted and on the stock ROM. File explorer used to have an option to remount a partition in read write mode but am not seeing this option now. Anyone know the syntax to remount the system partition with write? I have root and can get shell on the file system.
TIA

You can grab busybox off the market, things like esFile explorer , root explorer, has options to remount RW , or you could just install a custom manta kernel ..
Hello fellow xda'ers,
A few weeks I am experiencing a problem with my moto x style. The problem is that i don't have access anymore to my system folder. I have full root access, I can use rooted apps, but i can't switch my file system to r/w. Also when I boot into recovery I can flash roms etc, they are fully working, but once again, no system access. Also when I try to mount the system folder in recovery it seems it won't stick. Also when I use root explorer it says it switched to r/w but in fact it is r/o..
Can someone please hint me out what I could do to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Bump
Have you tried something like this in terminal as root, or via ADB root?
Code:
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
Then for r/o...
Code:
mount -o ro,remount,ro /system

Did you receive an error running the command? You are root, correct? Possibly just use:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Then run...
Code:
mount | grep system
Mine is read-only, but this should tell you if yours is rw or not.
Code:
u0 a114 clark:/ mount | grep system
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system ext4 [B]ro[/B],seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

I get this message everytime i run the commands you give me.
after ROOTING Nougat 32.3.A.0.376 (E6833 E6853 E6883) (E6633 E6653 E6683 ), we will still face ERROR while removing system apps, because GOOGLE has changed file system properties in Android N to READ ONLY
in order to make system directory WRITABLE, install busybox, and terminal,
type these lines and enter one by one in #terminal
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
ORRR
Code:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

What???
Why ??? I still can not write anything on the SYSTEM partition
I have full ROOT access and everything , no reboot or error issue !!
Please share if you find any solution to that

Mee too unable to write on system
download terminal on google play
open terminal
write "su" command and give root permission
then you will see "#"
after that, write this command:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable
then you write this command:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
if you see "#" again, it worked
but if you see "mount: Operation not permitted" it has not, sorry

works like a charm, system always writable!
Can any of you share here your perfectly rooted working kernel for Z5 E6683 DSDS ????

i found a workaround and it goes
installing busybox
installing terminal
and writing following codes
Code:
su
'to give terminal root access
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
later using ROOT APP REMOVER i manage to remove all bloatware!

@serajr workaround was fo when rootkernel4.51 wasn't able to support Nougat kernel
however if you follow carefully, the lines mentioned
Code:
on post-fs
export LD_PRELOAD libNimsWrap.so:libdrmfix.so
and
Code:
write /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable 0
will switchoff SONYRIC and will fix DRM
the issue is NOT sony RIC,
Google in general with or without any security/rootaccess changed the system folder properties from default Writable in <+ 6.01 Android version to READABLE ONLY from android 7.xx
so when i followed the both method of altering file via notepad++ in the ramdisk folder using N kernel and rootkernel version4.5, I ended up having fully root system with READLY ONLY ACCESS to /system partition and i could only switchoff the apps but can't remove!

I also think the issue is not the RIC but something to do with the Nougat filesystem itself.
I can delete all the files and folders with any file managers I like but like after 1 sec they all reappear as nothing ever happened to them !!!
How strange is that ??
It shows file sizes when I delete them and take times to delete the folders with , say for 500MB
but they still reappear after just 1 refresh or 1 sec.
I cant figure it out at all for the sake of my sanity --- why the hell this is happening ????

@bungadudu @chinmoy32
I followed bungadudu-s steps and it worked i can change permissions and prove it with link i provided.
And chenges, yes they stick after reboot and i can rename files allso, but:
after reboot i have to repeat this steps if i want to change something elsewhere, old changes do stick aroind though
I deletet phone to 0 mb in twrp, flashed AU nougat .372 with flashtool, rebooted into twrp, flashed zip file provided in link, then flashed supersu in link and rebooted, no custom kernel used
Next i will try to copy modified thermal files now and see if they stick after reboot and if kernel aduitor uses them, see you later
Observations:
-i changed permissions from file /system/build.prop and changed lcd density to 320 and i have bootloop
working on how to boot it up...

when i reboot it i can look into busybox version
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742, on top of that i installed pro:

I install both of them via play.google.com
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
&
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
later i opened terminal and ran those commands
later i installed System App remover
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
granted it SU rights and removed HANGOUTS and GOOGLE MOVIES etc
It seems to work to some extend but if you want to go tweak it up, kablaaam
i did not managed to boot it up after bootloop sadly, i need my phone so this is it for me this week

I just clean install 372 and patched the kernel once again .................
tried the terminal commands ---- both commands were successful (without any errors )
but still the deleted apps and the edited files came back to normal as before
I did not manage to delete anny apps as my phone crashed before, i am glad you get commands to work.
oh, by the waj roomtoolbox is great as you can make shortcuts of the commands and then you klik it one after another and you get rid of the typing
example (first shortcut command depends of busybox install folder i think)
1.st shortcut "cd /su"
2.nd shortcut "su"
3.rd shortcut "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
4.th shortcut "mount -o rw,remount /system"
that way some people can do this quick and you dont need to remember commands, and you can experiment quicker.
sorry i dont know howto annything else for now

I just managed to restart my phone successfully after changing the LCD density to 320 [I also use this value since always ]
But then I carefully just deleted 1 single app and booom--- boot loop
PS. i used root explorer to just click mount as R/W and then do anything to system partition --
Great you magaged it, and yes 320 seems so right.
And i asume there is no way to break bootloop?...other than reflashing?
I had trouble afterwards on downgrading to.253, 3x times error on start, even after reseting " power & + " and couple of full wipes in twrp.
I had to flash lineage from twrp and boot it up and only then flashtool succeeded pushing. 253.
This nougat will be fun i see
If there is something to try tell me i will flash it once more tonight, otherways i can do it on weekends
Oh i did not tell, i managed to copy modified thermal files with no error and then changed lcd density so i can not 100% tell which caused bootlop, since i did not reboot in between...
