Hello folks,
I'm at a loss currently.
I had rooted my stock .314 FW and installed XZDualRecovery.
All worked flawlessly, installing Busybox, using Titanium Backup, Adaway etc.
Now suddenly I discovered that I'm not able to remount /system read-write anymore! Root seems to work absolutely normal otherwise, it's just that if I try to remount (via ES File Explorer or manual terminal command), either nothing happens (ES File Explorer) or I get a "Permission denied" (terminal).
I absolutely don't have any idea what could be the cause of this!
And not being able to update the hosts file or doing any alterations of system files of course is a problem!
I had several rooted devices and never encountered this issue!
Any ideas??

I once had such a problem on my phone (SGS4), I was running CM with SuperUser.
Switching to SuperSU helped me back then, SU seemingly did not work correctly.
I guess you are using SuperSU on your stock ROM, so this is no option. But still I'd still assume that your problems are directly SuperSU-related...
Yes, I'm using SuperSu (current version: 2.01).
It's not possible to update to version 2.02.
EDIT!
Obviously the recovery is broken also! It's not possible to boot into recovery!
How do I repair that (and how can it be that the recovery is gone in the first place??)? Simply remove the files which are listed in the XZDualRecovery thread's uninstall instructions, then install normally?

I am still using this one, it works flawlessly (should also be compatible with 314): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708194

Sorry, but I do not have any experience with the DualRecovery. I can only state that I do not have such issues with the recovery I use.
So perhaps your problems go away if you use the same one - I think this could be worth a try...
The problem, and that is one reason why I ask, is that recovery and system RW HAD worked! Flawlessly!
But now no more!
How can that be?
You don't need to answer anymore. I uninstalled Dual Recovery, then tried to install CWM. After that Android didn't start at all (Bootloop). Fed up, I wiped and installed from scratch
You probably just needed to run easy root again. I have to run it twice every time. Then I install the recovery from in Windows using the tool provided, then I flash the superuser update. Zip from the chainfire website. Probably overkill, but it's worked for me about 10 times on this device. Remember to turn off firewall and antivirus and run the installers as admin in Windows.

Hi All,
i have an issue - i installed custom ROM, custom kernel, all is working except root.
I have two root apps - superuser (standard) and one from ROM supersu. One came with ROM, and i flashed another (standard) just after flash (not sure why really)
So - I have two supersusers - bot don't have root... irony
Any suggestion how to fix that? Also, how should i delete superuser (standard) from system/app folder (without root apparently)?
Thanks all!
"This app cannot be uninstalled if it was installed with your ROM or root. If there is no uninstall option, it's because you placed it in /system/app, not me. It is impossible for an app to be installed in /system/app by the Play store. In fact, the entire /system partition is read only at runtime. The only way for an app to be placed in /system/app is via a rooting process (which usually installs Superuser), or by remounting the system partition as read/write and manually putting it there."
this is from the play store page. I guess you could try using root explorer to delete it but don't know if it will work
The more important question is why don't you have root? You have two root apps installed on a custom ROM. You should be able to run SuperSU and let it update the su binary. Then you can use ROM Toolbox or TB to remove Superuser.

That is a strange problem. Never had that issue. Some custom come with supersu already installed and don't require you to install super user from the market. In fact it dont make sense to download standard unless you have standard from Rom and want to add supersu for better root access. Try to reflash Rom first and see if that works. Don't install standard. If that don't work try another Rom.

That's already been suggested in the ROM thread on another site, but he seems to be trying to get around it without reinstalling the ROM. He said over there that he doesn't know why he installed SuperUser since the ROM came with another su app and neither do I. He should just go ahead and reflash the ROM.
For some reason this guy seems to want to do things differently from standard practices and then ask for help when it doesn't work. His latest post in the other thread was asking if he could flash the ROM after removing the kernel (boot.img)!
I'm not sure where he comes up with these ideas but he seems to be off doing his own thing even though he is new at this stuff. I'm not suggesting that you don't help him, but wanted you to be aware that he may be creating problems for himself.
ramjet73
Thanks for the heads up. Your right, it don't make sense to try something different if what we suggest to somebody has been a better and usually a full proof way of fixing a problem. But like you said if he wants to add to his own problems that's on him. Let's make this clear to him too since he is new. Nobody on this site or other sites are responsible if you blow up your device, your gf leaves you, or you burn down your house and get fired. :highfive:

Hmm, everytime I tried to mount a pair, the phone reboots, then the mounting resumes but I got the message "Error: extSdCard permission - FM could not fix the external permission and ownership. This could lead to read/write issues for apps that try to access your mounted internal sdcard folders. Please try to remount all pairs after a while manually". Never used foldermount before, so IDK what's wrong here :silly:

thanks for trying, that seems to indicate foldermount is the problem, not necessarily my chinese root. haven't had luck getting su installed in its place, but it lets me change build.prop which is what i needed to get to .510. really wanting foldermount to work so i can install more than just 14 gb of games and movies.

Thats not good... I'm waiting for my Ultra to arrive. I use foldermount normally as well. Lets hope the dev can sort it out.
Why don't you just put the movies on the external though?
maybe you need to fix your file permission. i recall i done this , previously either FM didnt work or self reboot after mount and will stuck on boot loop

can confirm remountrebootfix app does work! First i installed the superuser app from the app store, did not delete the chinese su app though as it doesn't seem to be a problem (keeping it for now), rebooted to make sure i still had root with superuser instead. then ran the superuser.bat, deleted and reinstalled busybox (smart install). Can confirm foldermount works just fine now.

360root method works directly on 510.
vroot doesn't work on 510 (if applied directly).
I myself used vroot on 475 kernel that is flashed on a 510 FW, and reflash the 510 kernel after root. Now my 510 is rooted. Also changed the chinese root apps with superSU.. Plenty of step-by-step guide in other threads in the general section

Thank you for this. I went to the 360 root site(In Chinese but used google translate to english)(Pic 1)
It redirected me to the software download page (PIC 2)
Downloaded the software but since its in chinese im completely lost. (Pic 3) Would it at all be possible if you could share with me how to go forward?
The other 360one root I found ( http://shuaji.360.cn/root/ ) only works on Chinese OS.
Thanks in advance.

Just plug your phone into your PC with 360root application running and hit the big, green, ROOT button and there you go.. Your phone will restart automatically, that means the process is done and you can close the application on your PC.
Remember the 360root requires connection to chinese server and therefore depending on your connection you might have to set up proxy on your PC. More detailed guide for this, go here.
Also, disable your antivirus, especially those that come with firewalls.
If 360root somehow doesn't work, use the 475 kernel workaround to root your 510. Guide here.
Another easy way (and more reliable) is through recovery, guide in here. But this requires unlocking your bootloader.

Hello all,
I am VERY new to this and was reading a fair bit on forums etc before having a go. I really want to make my Desire X use more of its memory as its internal memory is just way to small....
I have the HTC Windroid universal tool.
I have successfully unlocked the phone (its shows unlocked on bootup)
I have then installed TWRP successfully.
I have also installed a new Kernel (NeXus) in an attempt to help.
The issue I have am having is when I used the "Gain Root" - Flash Superuser option, it ran OK and said installing (although on the phone it wouldn't access some cahces), but said it was done successfully. The SU App was then ont he phone, BUT when i ran the Root Checker app, it said the phone was NOT properly rooted. When I ran the SuperUser app it said the binary was out of date, but the install options both failed.
I have also tried to manually load the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip but that also didn't work?
My main (and only real object) is to get the phone so I can use more memory and run more apps etc, and possibly dump some bloat stuff I will never use, but i dont know how to continue without a successful root in place?
Any ideas? I have read around a lot but cant find a solution?

Niceee, if you want to remove system apps (e.g. apps you don't use like teetr) then use titanium backup or root explorer, as far as extending memory (e.g. ram or internal memory) i don't think it's possible *Anyone who knows otherwise feel free to correct me*
I'm happy to help, as there were users ready to help me when i started.
plus: are you the guy that posted on the FB group about rooting and extending memory ?

As for Facebook, no that wasnt me...
By the way, I have Android 4.1.1. on the phone as stock.
Do you think its worthwhile upgrading it (somehow?) to Android 4.3? Will that be more efficient and save battery better, and be more optimised? Or will it be more bloated and cane my phone more?
Opinions please....
In fact will flashing a different ROM actually include an upgrade to a different base droid OS?

Same problem here, had to revert back to LMY48M.
Same here. The only other posts I found on this say to use "default_password" but doesnt work for me either.
My password is a PIN so its not the pattern issue either.
For TWRP I believe I just click cancel when request for password!
Then I mounted a USB stick in TWRP and flashed the files from that!

Not **quite** working. Have installed TWRP 2.8.7.0, Supersu beta 2.51 and ElementalX 4.01 kernel; was able to install adbd insecure, so adb goes root and I can su from shell there.
Still when booting into recovery, TWRP asks for password, and if I cancel cannot mount anything but cache. Supersu seems to grant SOME permissions but for example I cannot modify default.prop (neither from the device nor via adb - the latter says about read only file system).

Use chainfire's method to root!
TWRP needs to be update. or follow these instructions to no-forceencrypt your device.

I use Chainfire's method in EX 4.01
EX always rooted "properly"
There was no system write on the initial release. But encryption was always handled properly. Please dont spread misinformation
Is it possible to access files on internal HD partitions from Remix OS? I have Remix installed on a partition on my PC drive, but it doesn't seem to see other partitions on the same drive. Must they be mounted first and if so, how can I do this?
Just use app "stickmount" developed by Chainfire, you can find it in google play, after install it click on mount, just that

Unfortunately, StickMount isn't working for me. When I start it, it asks me to use SuperSU v1.93 or newer. Then, when I click on mount mass storage device, I get a message that the mount service is busy - try again in a few seconds. I can't get past that. I have SuperSU version 2.65. When I run that, it indicates that a binary needs to be updated. When I click on update ("normal"), I get an install window but it never finishes, and doesn't work after a reboot either. If I cancel the binary update, it doesn't seem to do anything. The Apps menu shows no apps are configured, but I have no idea how to configure them. Where to go from here?

Are you running remix from your internal hard drive?
What version of remix are you running? I recommend the pre-rooted/ gaps / busybox installed already

Version 201 from my internal SSD. However, I think it's academic now. I tried a rooting solution that has buggered up my installation. I don't see an easy way to recover, so I will be doing the installation from scratch; this time with the current version (202), which is supposed to be rooted. No serious harm done; it's only a beta and I'm just trying it out (and enjoying it).

Yes make sure you get the prerooted deodexed nicely hacked version. It has been tested and has proper root.
I am really interested to know if you can Mount a partition on the same drive you are installed on.
The way I was doing it was booting remix off of my flash drive and then using stickmount and I could hear my HD initiate when mounted.

Am I correct in assuming that this is what I downloaded from the Jibe website? It is identified as 2.0 202.

You have to download it from there.
Jides version does not have play store and is odexed
Try this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/access-partitionincluding-windows-remix-t3356700
You have to install the rooted version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-pc-hacked-edition-ota-v2-0-201-t3345968
It doesn't matter on which drive the installation is. But it has to be rooted.
We're up and running now! Installed the hacked version, added Stickmount, and now I can see all my partitions. Fantastic!
