I am assuming that you have only a system folder. Now you need another folder called as META-INF from any rom which shares a same base as your rom. If you are working on a rom with .55 base, just check my signature for Xperia SL prerooted zip and download it. Take the Meta inf folder from my rom and make a zip with my meta inf and your system folder. It is better if you go through the updater script first. Then copy this zip to your internal storage. First make a backup in CWM. Then wipe data/factory reset and go to mounts and storage--->format /system. Then flash the zip and reboot.
If you have any difficulties doing this then please feel free to ask it here.

Err...what I mean is that after I flash the rom,I won't have to flash cwm again since it is also installed along with the rom. Is there a way of doing that?thx:laugh:

Yes of course you can do that. You will just need the CWM files which can be added to your system folder. Then you will need to add some more commands in the updater-script. I will give you those files asap okay?

Download the attached zip. Extract it and you will get a folder called "system". Now just merge this folder with your rom's system folder and make the flashable zip. Then you *should* have CWM in your /system partition.

Sorry for the late reply. Had been slightly busy with some school work. Okay so download the attached file and extract it and place the file called "fix_permissions" with your rom's other folder like system, META-INF (not inside any folder but just outside independently). Then open your updater-script and add this:-
Code:
package_extract_file("fix_permissions", "/tmp/fix_permissions");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/fix_permissions");
run_program("/tmp/fix_permissions");
Now it should work.

At the end of the updater-script, just before you see the first unmount() function.

Oh no I have followed the steps but when I reboot and enter recovery,the recovery is just some lines,and I can't see any English words,what should I do?

Use this mod :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707378
or
Use this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/orig-development/kernel-grakernel-t2857866
To replace system files from recovery, use TWRP. There is a file manager in it.
Do a search before posting bro..

thanks bro but I'm a noob

thanks for replying bro I appreciate that ... I'm a noob so please tell me .. Does CWM has a file manager ? if not how to uninstall it and how to install TWRP.
and after replacing system files (.ko file) is there any thing to do after that or system write protection will be off when I replace it ?

Only TWRP has a file filemanager. Just flash the TWRP recovery just like you flashed CWM. It'll overwrite CWM.
Read the thread. There is full instructions for wp_mod.ko .

FTF files are regular ZIP files. Open it with 7-Zip/WinRAR and you'll find some .sin files inside (.sin is a proprietary format used by Sony). Some of these .sin files (like system.sin) can be decrypted by Flashtool by going to Tools => Sin Editor => Extract data. This will leave you with an .ext4 file (like system.ext4). This file can be mounted and edited directly if you're on Linux or you can view and extract its contents by using ext2explore or another similar tool on Windows...

Question cannot edit build.prop on rooted Rog 6

Hello! I just rooted my Rog 6 with Magisk to be able to edit my build.prop file. Unfortunately it seems to be read only. If I could get the filesystem mounted in TWRP it should be no problem. But since there is no TWRP yet i'm stuck. I did a lot of research but cannot come up with the solution. Anybody here can help?
Thanks in front!

Well you must be in os12 same issue with me but in different device

did you use a file explorer that supports root and try to change the permission on the file?

I'm on Android 12 and used Root Explorer. The permissions cannot be changed because it's not mounted as writable. The buildprop editor app also cannot save. Thanks for your replies!

That's kinda how I feel about it. Root Checker Pro says I have root, I can run Su in a terminal and I get a popup asking for superuser rights when I use a function that requires root. I attached some screenshots from Root Checker Pro

The problem is that the partitions (system vendor and co) are only integrated as R/O and cannot be easily integrated as R/W

I thought the whole point of root was to be able to do such things . If i would edit the build.prop file in system.img then flash that in recovery mode, would that work?

no the partitions ( system vendor ) have a write protection (I would not be surprised if the asus rog with android 12 uses the file formart efros ) this had to be converted to ext4 so that you can mount the partitions with rw)

then it didn't work.
because if the partitions are converted correctly and the write protection is removed then you should be able to change files in e.g
(I also tried it on my oneplus 9p without success, but even after the alleged conversion, the partitions were still EROFS)

Yes i converted successfully
Not maked whole super
Just maked vendor system product
And did u believe with one command
Its even get press RW in root explorer
But still not in whole partitons so not able to modify anything
But Most important thing
I get fully rw in dev block mapper
Even i copy paste files there with change permissions
So i believe i doing mistake somewhere
Otherwise little bit achievement
Not yet but hope if i get some dev knowledge then can fix it fully

If the partitions are not converted from erofs to ext4, it remains with ro because erofs cannot be mounted as rw

/dev/block/dm-19 on / type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime)
OnePlus8:/ # mount | grep "dm-3"
and still i,m not able to edit these parts

can you change something in the images (which you changed, which you then flashed to your cell phone) if you copy them to your pc? if not, then the images still have write protection

Men see upper logs its converted to ext4

just because it means that you have successfully converted to ext4 does not mean that the write protection is out.... that's why I asked if you can edit files in the ext4 images on the pc, because if that doesn't work, the images still have one write protection (even ext4 can have a write protection )
as examples on the 7t, the images are in ext4 but still have write protection so that you cannot change anything in the images. even if they are integrated as rw because the system.img or vendor.img that is in the super partition is write-protected

But in os10 os11 is possible

Is there anyway to remove write protection?
