I think the app is confused. Root is installed in /system, so if it found root, then /system is mounted. Lots of things wouldn't work if /system isn't mounted

I ran into a similar problem when trying to root where recovery said system wasn't mounted. Fixed by stock restore and starting over

how did you do stock restore?

Flash stock recovery and do a system restore from there. Will bring it back to stock. Then use a kit to root and install recovery. Works lots better

Fix permissions?
Use fastboot to reflash cwm, if you want.
try using http://www.wugfresh.com/

I tried fixing permission and i will try fastboot flash recovery tonight thanks but i also seem to have 2 storage places:s sdcard0 and storage, with the same inside it, maybe this is preventing downloading and such? I tried to delete sdcard0, but one second later its back

I saw that the permissions of storage and sdcard0 are different, i set them the same in root explorer and rebooted and they changed back, nothing helps hope flashing CWM Recovery will help

Yes, permissions will come back, they're set on init.rc.

1 import init.tuna.usb.rc

3 on early-init
4 export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
5 mkdir /storage 0050 system sdcard_r
6 mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0000 system system
7 # for backwards compatibility
8 symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard
9 symlink /storage/sdcard0 /mnt/sdcard

As you can see, /sdcard/ and /mnt/sdcard are symlinks of /storage/sdcard0.

which twrp version are you using? i used cwm 6.x after getting issues on flashing JRO03C; didn't have issues accessing my device through adb. A user over @TWRP thread suggested updating to 2.2.x.
have you tried fully wiping the device with fastboot? including userdata? then reflashing cwm, booting to recovery directly from bootloader, push rom over with adb, and reflashing rom?

Can't mount with root explorer?

I am trying to edit some stuff in the system, but root explorer won't mount, if i press the mount r/w nothing happens. I have also tried es explorer with the "mount file system" checked and i just get a "sorry, operation failed". I am rooted and have given them both su permission. I tried having su forget the apps and regive them permission, didn't help. Rebooted, fixed permissions and still a no go. Any one have any ideas? I am running stock rom and kernel.

Other people have been having this problem with nand restores too. The only solution I've seen is a wipe and fresh install.

4.3 Root apps don't work

Tried both cm10.3 and liquid smooth, and apps like titanium backup and scary won't work. TBP just stalls when trying to restore and adaway just stops at parsing.

Did you enable root in developer option
Download Super SU from Play Store and update Superuser binary via CWM.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Been covered completely but..... You need to update you su binary and change your back up location from sdcard0 to legacy doing that titanium will work again for you

For back up location go into titanium's preferences and then back up folder location click it then detect whole device then change it to legacy agreeing to move them to there, I never had to do the su update all I've had to do was storage but several have had to update their su ... so I'd your needing to then download su from market, goo into us settings and chose to update binary but do it through recovery... Hope that helps ya Bud

Help please

So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

What rom did you install? It's probably under /0 folder.

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock
Sent from my SCH-R760 using Tapatalk
In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Okay I have it some what fixed I found my backups in the ROM manager app. But can't find them through a file manager app. But my back up is in my phone some where but only accessible from ROM manager.

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it

Is it true when you factory reset, you lose root?

I just factory reset my stock rooted ROM through twrp AMD maintained root
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
A factory reset wipes /data and /cache, not system
and root is written to the /system so you would maintain root (theoretically), google may have thought of this and put in a method to remove su binary.
if your superuser app is written to /data then you would loose the app but the binary is always in /system
