[Q] Cant mount /system rw

I cant mount /system as r/w on my nexus 10, I have rooted and tried root explorer and es file explorer with no luck.
I mounted it once, and it overwrote all my changes

On Root Explorer did you press the "mount r/w" button at the top?
yeah, I pressed it but it doesn't mount
Do you have superuser installed? If so, open superuser, uncheck root explorer, select forget and restart root explorer and click "allow" when prompted when you try to mount r/w. Let me know if that works.
I do have superuser installed, thanks for the quick reply but its still not letting me mount system
Is superuser giving permissions to Root Explorer?
If it is, all I can suggest at this point is to try and restart the device and try again or re-flash stock and root your phone and try again.
If anyone else knows something I don't then I'm sure they'll chime in soon.
Good luck!
Thanks for the help but its still wont let me mount i re-flash stock and root again still no dice
you need to actually answer their questions instead of just saying thanks
what does it say in superuser? the permission for root exploer
try ES file explorer, and choose mount in there
Superuser is giving permission to root explorer, it says access grant if you need me to be specific, I have already tried ES file explorer, terminal and many of the mount apps in the market place none of which are working
Try updating the SU binary in SuperSU or SuperUser whichever one you have installed. 4.2 requires a new binary to work properly.
how do i update the SU binary in SuperSU

[Q] Busybox

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 ..

[Q] Kitkat 4.4 Unable to mount system as read-write

Upgraded from factory rooted image of 4.3 to the OTA KRT160 I was able to get this rooted and the bootloader has been unlocked.
Cannot mount /system as r/w from either ROM Pro toolbox or ES Files Explorer. 4.3 has no such issues. Anyone else having these problems or know a way to mount this. I want to update my hosts file and a few other things.
Edit: This method works, just not any apps
adb shell
$su
#mount -ro remount,rw /system
make changes in shell
#mount -ro remount,ro /system

Tried that on a rooted Moto X...still no joy. Among other things, it's keeping AdAway from installing.
Edit: I eventually found MotoWpNoMo, which fixed my problem. It permanently removes write protection from /system. Maybe there's something similar for your device.
I had an issue with read write in es. You have to not only slide the root explorer option to on but also tap on root explorer text to change system to r/w. Hope this helps

Man I've been looking for your tip 2 days. And here you go. Awesome. Same thing with H/K LiveStage sound buried under option line.

A2017U B32 System Write Issue

Hi everyone. I installed B32 but i can't edit system.
For example; can't change build.prop. Can't delete anything from system.
It was good on B25.
Uuhh... use a PC, and issue 'adb reboot disemmcwp'
It supposedly doesn't work if you do it from a terminal emulator
It's weird that you don't seem to know about this, since it happens on every stock ROM
Thank you my friend but it is not about it. So it did not help me
I'm having the same problem. If anyone has a solution please post. I tried to remount system to r/w from terminal. even tried to mount system as R/W with root explorer and ES explorer. It's a no go.

Stock ROM /system and /app R/W permissions?

Hey guys,
I have a Moto G5+ XT1687 that I'm messing with. I've rooted this sucker, TWRW recovery & Magisk are installed on the stock ROM and the phone does appear to have root as I'm able to log into the shell with root permissions, but I still cannot get the /system and /app folders to remount as r/w regardless of what I try.
So far I've had the same issues with Root Explorer, FX File Manager, Shell commands via ADB and terminal emulators. I'm still somewhat new to working with these, so hopefully there's a quick fix for it. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
