How to remount system folders - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can magisk or super su put root files in system folders
And the system folders need to be remounted during the rooting process, although until this moment there is no root on the device to remount the system folders ?

Rooted, can't edit /system

Hello folks.
Running 673.94.324.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 (4.0.4). Apparently rooted, but can't install/swap /system apps or edit /system files, even through the terminal.
Any idea what could be done?
Thanks!

Verify your root install with SuperSU or SuperUser, check updates, also check that the app that you want to do that is on the Allow List of SU.
Since you're messing with ROMs and terminal commands you're probably beyond this but depending on which file explorer you're using, you might have to give it permission to mount the system as RW. In ES File Explorer, it's a check box in settings. In Root Explorer, I think it's a button on the main screen.

You have to change the settings in your root manager to 'mount system as writable'. You need to do this to edit root folders

If you just want to move apps to sd then you dont have to root just use this app
If you want to modify root folders then yes you have to root your phone

[Q] Copying files to /system

Such a question.
There is an application, you need to copy from my RAW folder / system on the phone and reboot it. I am a novice, and questions are:
How to get SU? How to mount (and whether it is necessary) folder / system? How to hold up?
Do not judge me, I'm from Ukraine and my English is bad...
---
There are programmers? Does not interest me how to do it by hand. I need a sample code in Java. ORDER THIS, UNDERSTAND??? I'm an advanced user Android, porting firmware, writing programs, and so on. I need an answer programmer!

SU - superuser > this is the root management app !
when you root your phone,you will find this in your phone !
and if you deleted it you can get it from playstore !
next I didn't understand whether you needed to copy an app from /system/app or copy to /system/app
anyway I will answer both >
no need to mount /system for these functions .
root your phone,
then download any root browser,
then if you want to copy an app from /system/app then just copy it and paste it in your sd card etc (no reboot required).
OR if you want to copy an app to /system/app then copy the app from whereever you have stored it and paste it in /system/app and set permissions as rw-,r--,r-- and then reboot !

No. I am writing a program. How to do it by hand or through the Recovery I know. It means you need Java!
You must root your device if u want to mod your system... cause if u dont have superuser user access, impossible to mod your /system... default set in system is r/o if you want to modding you must set system to r/w

[Q] Cannot mount system folders as r/w

Hi,
I'm rooted yet cannot mount system folders as r/w. I am definitely rooted (confirmed by using su command in terminal and the fact apps that require root are working) and noticed this issue when trying to install busybox pro.
It warned me that there was an existing busybox in /sbin and would remove it before trying to install in system/xbin but the installation failed.
I tried to remove busybox from /sbin but the folder would not mount as r/w in root explorer OR solid explorer.
I managed to remove the file in TWRP recovery though.
Weirdly, I've been using titanium backup to uninstall system apps without any issues.
How can I fix this? Repair permissions int wrp?
I presume you followed the same instructions as I. I am on the 621 and currently have the same issue (also rooted). But on my end it is actually worse. I cannot mount the system partition in TWRP either (I mean I can mount it but when I try to delete or move a file I get error messages), and something happened to my download manager (which basically means that for the time being I cannot download apps from Google Play or from the internet, etc). I have a good download manager apk, but when I try to install it it asks me if I want to update the existing app, and the operation fails - I have to try and find a 3rd party alternative for the time being). It is kind of a problem.
(to update, I have very limited r/w permissions in TWRP. If I get lucky I can make small changes.)

I don't think so. I tried this, and I eventually was able to view/attempt to edit file permissions inside of X-plore file explorer (don't know if it is a coincidence, but I first had that success opening X-plore in 'mount system r/w' mode after changing the i/o scheduler to cfq). Anyways, it consistently shows all 755/644 permissions, so the permissions are not being re-written upon boot from what I can gather. But if I try to edit permissions or copy files to System folders, I still got error messages to the effect of "you cannot do this,' even though it is a root file explorer and the system partition is purportedly mounted as r/w.

Thank you for this. Has anyone ever tried this on the Z3TC? Mine is running smoothly enough such that I am reluctant to fix what isn't broken. It seems that early issues I had with freezes, TWRP, etc, probably had to do with my SD card and the Android media scanner.
I've tried it on the Z3TC SGP621. Thus the recommendation.

I have the exact issue in lollipop and I have tried flashing RICDefeat and I get errors.
Sorry for the Hijack :/
Use my RICDefeat from here and run it from terminal. Works only if you are rooted. Afterwards you should have r/w access.

You cannot do that without having your device rooted, as the file permissions won't allow you to list contents there.
