Trying to push files from adb to my phone but it wont let me because its a read only system.
I've done adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system but it does not work, I'm running windows 7 could this be a problem?
Make sure that USB Debugging is enabled on the phone.

C:\Users\Jake\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell mount -o rw,remount /d
ev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid argument
C:\Users\Jake\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>
It is enabled.
Are you in recovery mode when you're trying this? Or booted regularly?
If you're in recovery mode you'd mount it like this:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

follow my tutorial for ADB set-up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6054534#post6054534
I noticed you dont have SDK in C:/ root....
or a simple command like this should mount it as read/write:
adb remount
its what i have been doing and seems to do the same thing with less commands, unless someone can point out the difference for me.
Otherwise, try
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtd3 /system
That should do it. The /dev/block/mtdblock3 is only required in recovery.

I would also like to know the difference between the two commands:
adb remount
and
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

having the SDK in C:\ root is not a necessity. People do it because it is easy to do it that way.

You need to ask something like this in the Android section not Windows.
Hi all,
Just upgraded my Mi8 with the new Miui 10 based on Android P.
I've TWRP-3.2.3-0918 as recovery and rooted with Magisk-v17.1
As root, in the same condition until the previous version (Android Oreo) i was able to remount the /system with
# mount -o rw,remount /system
but in this version i get an error
'/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/system' is read-only
i've tried many ways but nothing ... i'm unable to remount the /system for writing ... see below my failed attempts

Hi poloolop,
i thank you for the try but ...
1) i have already the dm-verity disabled
2) i need to remount the /system from the shell command line inside the smartphone and not from the adb connected from a pc
hope that someone can solve this question ...

thanks for trying but ... i've the problem with the twrp-3.2.3-0918 so it's a twrp newer than yours ... i also I noticed that the adway apk is able to mount and change the hosts file using some function of magisk (that i already have in my rooted system) so it's possibile to do but i'm unable to find how to do !
waiting for someone that have this knowledge
I had problem with newer recovery and only flashing older recovery solve it. But in my situation even Adaway couldn't change hosts file.
mount -o rw,remount /
mount -o rw,remount /dev/root
all geany is simply
No sry that doesn't work.. You have to flash the dm-verity-zip

Doh ...
At first i thinking that you was joking ... i have done an ssh connection to my MI8 and i checked if the things are as you write and ... not ... i can confirm that the /etc is a symlink to /system/etc and /system is an autonomous mount point as you can see below
Code:
:/ # l -d /etc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 1 1970 /etc -> /system/etc
1|:/ # mount | grep system
/dev/block/sde48 on /system type ext4 (ro,seclabel,relatime,discard,data=ordered)
so this confirm what i told you (and you can see that this is mounted RO) but ... i've done a try and ....
Code:
:/ # mount -o rw,remount /
no errors !
but if i try to create a file in /etc
HTML:
:/etc # touch thorezz
touch: thorezz: Read-only file system
1|:/etc # >thorezz
/system/bin/sh: can't create thorezz: Read-only file system
so the remount of / work but the /etc that it's in the /system don't become RW
and i can confirm that your suggestion don't work ...
thank you
P.S: all this with user root and /etc in writable by root ... just in case you think about this
Code:
:/etc # l -d .
drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Mar 21 14:38 .

I did
mount -o rw,remount /system/app/NQNfcNci
And it worked. Specify full path not only /system.
And you are right, ext4 option is not needed.
I found the solution
I know I am a bit late, but I was having issues modifying stuff in the /system/priv-app folder and every attempt of any mount call described up until now did NOT work.
BUT I found the solution: since I am using magisk (and you do too), the /system partition is somewhat "remapped" to /system_root.
So the solution is easy: just mount /system_root and you will be good to go:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system_root
