Hi @all. Adaway doesn't work for me. It can't copy the host files. I don't know why. Root is okay, checked with root checker. Adaway has permission to write on the storage. Can anybody help me?

That's just for the hosts file. You want to know if /system is mounted rw. If you have an app like terminal emulator, open it and type: mount Then look for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system on /system type ext4. In parentheses it will either have ro (read-only) or rw(read-write).
Also, I don't use Solid explorer but it probably has a way to mount the system rw. Someone else would have to help you with that.
Edit: You would have to be rooted to change permissions with a file manager like Solid.

Download version 3.2 or higher and activate "enable systemless mode" in preferences. Then you won't get that error.

Thx, this works
I have a problem too looks like this and it cannot load it... help
Check your host sources, too. Here's what I use.
Heloo the same problem herr tried all means mentioned above no help bad enough i don't see systemless in Adaway 3.3

Solution - go to twrp, go to wipe then advanced wipe, select system and then tap on increase size.
The problem is because the partition has no space left to accommodate files. You will not be able to write host files nor change font via ifont because both files need space ~5mb. Hope this solves your problem.

Is there a permanent way to make /system read and write? I tried hitting the "Mount R/W" button (I think that is the label) in Root Explorer but it doesn't switch from R/O.
I can mount it in a terminal but that's a pain in the butt to do on the NC. Yes, I can do it via ADB but if I'm away from a PC, its not an option.
Am I doing something wrong that it wont let me set it to R/W in Root Explorer?

I know this may sound dumb but are you 100% positive Root Explorer has root? Doublecheck Superuser and verify that Root Explorer is listed as allow.

It seems there are some versions of RE that aren't fully compatible.
I'm running 2.12.4 and can confirm it works flawlessly.

Latest Version: v3.6.2
make sure you have busybox installed or it will appear to never gain root access.
You can also tinker in /init.rc. look for where it mounts /system and remounts as ro and comment out that line..
I dont recomend this as rw should not be needed unless you a doing dev work..
Hi,
Im running rocket rom v6. I want to paste the accuweather transparent app into the system apps folder but it wont allow me to. My phone is rooted, mobile odin runs fine but I cant seem to paste into any system folder.
I realize its a permission issue, but how do I get round it? Are there any guides I could read?
Thanks in advance

I use ES File explore from the Play Store. Just go to setting then you can enable "Up to root", "Root Explorer", and "Mount File System". Then you can copy and paste to the system/app foler.

Hello
I recently picked up a HD Fire which is on the newest update 7.2.1 and rooted it with the "Qemu automated root" method, which it said was successful. I see the SU app, thing is "ES file explorer" wont let me turn on root explorer and another app "root explorer" wont let me change system permissions to R/W to move apps around.. I am stuck, and I am assuming that I am not rooted if I cant change permissions?
Thanks..

.... I cant change anything with Read only and I am not able to enable r/w, including moving files to root directory with the app.
Edit: Weird.. I redid the root process for the 5th time and it finally worked.

Glad you got it working....In My experience (which isnt great) Id Just sack ES Explorer and use Root Explorer....Its quite simple in there. There is a button at the top that is for read only or read write.....It says Mount R/W to get read write or when your in RW it says Mount R/O for read Only. Im a massive fan of Root Explorer ....And no I dont have anything to do with it......Its the best Stat! for less than £4 I also have their SQL database editor....Which actually lets you edit stuff...Unlike some Ive had to get refunds for!

Hello,
when I try to switch Root Explorer I got message:
Sorry, test failed!. This feature cannot run on your device.
What I have to do?
I have Kindle Fire HD 7", Serial Number D025 AOAO**** ****
Current version : 7.5.1
Hey guys!
I'm unfortunately not allowed to directly ask this questions in the Android development thread because of my few posts :crying:
So I will aks it here...
I successfully rooted my phone with TwerkMyMoto and I have root privileges (checked it with an app from F-Droid).
But unfortunately, when I enter the /system directory I don't have write permission to delete these tedious stock rom apps I don't need.
Ghost Commander the also shows that I have only #ro permission.
Other users report that they are able to delete system apps...
Has somebody suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Jens

standard filemanager will mount system as read only...
You will need an ROOT-Explorer like "ES File Manager" or "root-explorer".
Than u have to enable "mount system as read/write" in explorer settings.
greetz
Oh thanks man, there is also a very very small point in Ghost Commander with "Remount /..." and then the button is over.
Pressing this button does a remount and I'm able to delete the sh*t
Thx!!!
Im on Android M preview 2 with Desparis 3.3 kernel, rooted.
I would like to update build.prop and change user -> userdebug.
Before on Lollipop all I had to do is remount /system in rw and change the file.
Android M doesn't allow me to remount /system in rw.
adb push fails to overwrite the file.
Any solutions please ?

I dont think you can write to system at all anymore, even with root. I do it all in recovery for right now.
Thanks! At least it's one possible solution !

Actually, can you elaborate how do you do it ?
I've just tried booting into TWRP, then connected the phone to PC, did adb push of changed build.prop into /system, reboot the phone and realized that the phone still has the old build.prop.

First in twrp make sure you mount system in the mount menu then you should be able to push and pull. You probably pushed the file nowhere even though I think you should've got a error message. I pulled the build.prop straight from twrp edited it then pushed it right back. Did it for the tethering hack. ? ?

I didn't think write to system was working in the M builds. Must be something wrong with his root method.

Root works great in all apps.
The only problem I have is with RO system. Before M I would use ES explorer to modify and save build.prop and Android Terminal to remount system as RW. But it doesn't work like that anymore in M.
Ive never tried root explorer.

it works exactly like it did before over here. and ive manuslly changed my build.orop several times already.
I'm on Preview 2, rooted, Despair kernel 3.3.
Still confused as to how to enable mounting /system r/w from within Android and not TWRP. Trying FX file explorer as well as Terminal Emulator with no success. I have Busybox installed and under Applet Manager it shows the "Mount" applet as installed and symlinked to /system/bin/toolbox.

Root Explorer FTW. Always works and same file system as shows on PC.
Well Root Explorer wasn't the answer, surprisingly enough haha...
Needed insecure boot.img obtained here flashed with help from this thread, with further reading here for better understanding or doing it yourself.
Also I apparently forgot that adbd insecure by chainfire exists until just now, which could have potentially been another solution.
