So I'm rooted but all the usual apps that I use to edit system files say the system is read only. What gives?
I'm rooted with Busybox installed
I thought only htc had this kind of security

hi,
maybe using aromafm in recovery mode
could help you get around it and fix things,
also sometime a dalvik/cache wipe will trigger cwm
to notify you that you've lost root and ask you if you
wish to fix it.
twrp does it to but, aromafm doesn't work in twrp.
lastlynsearch supersu update .zip and follow
bye
no root
I think that you're not root. Use root check o titanium to verify.
root checker said I'm root and I've been using other forms of root required apps... I just can't write to system... cwm "fixed" root but even after that I couldn't write to system. I even tried re-flashing the universal root but still nothing

ended up being a mounting issue I hadn't mounted system from recovery,
i still cant get it to stay mounted and even when i force it to mount a lot of apps still cant edit system. i cant use busybox "chmod" because of this i need some help please

so I figured out that it's not letting any app remount system as rw. even in terminal emulator I would telling system as rw and "mount" shows it as rw but if I exit out of terminal and go back in its still ro even though I never reverted

okay one more time
go online search aromafm, get, boot to cwm then flash aromafm, give it a second to get going
now, the is a terminal emulator built in logged in as root.
now cd directory and chmod file wherever and whatever those may be.
su bin attr is 6754

okay, be more complete in the description of your current situation
if supersu is installed and groovy start it
in automatic responses set to grant/allow
search for total commander get it from home page or play
a side note ; when youre in terminal youre pretty much in linux
meaning case matters spaces matter foward and backward slash matter, underscore dash, syntax etc
I already use total commander I have had the su app and it works with most everything except writing to system. total comander cant save to system it asks to remount as rw it asks for root and is granted it but then it displays a toast message saying "remount error"

okay if you flashed root/supersu with twrp it might have gone wrong
take a moment to get philz touch cwm flashable zip and twrp recovery's flashable zip [not the odin ones]
i keep both on my tab for specific flashes calling for twrp or cm
now, if you haven't beefed up your rom with apps and stuff yet
reboot into recovery flash/install cwm then reboot recovery, do a factory reset, then reflash supersu
make a back either way
if you want twrp back then cool but let's stick with cwm for now
I started with cwm, I flashed twrp through cwm only after I discovered the problem...both recoveries haven't been able to help

it's annoying I know, cwm clean to install new rom might be the cure-all
did you do any .prop mods eith in default.prop or build.prop ?
did you download aromafm yet if not get it from dev-host [use cwm to flash it]
in /system/bin/.ext should be a file named .su it's permissions should also be 6754
also did you get busybox setup and allow root functions everywhere in total commander
i do know that system rw doesn't stick between sessions and it not irregular for tc to need another rw button click
after being closed and cleared from ram
does supersu crash on open?
I am in the process of downloading all of that

when you have aroma download move to safety like all your flashable stuff [extSdCard]

Im currently running JMT which uses SuperSU. I would like to use Superuser. Ive tried just flashing Superuser, but how to remove SuperSU?
I posted this in the ROM's thread, but never got an answer so hoping someone here will know
Delete the Superuser.apk in the ROM (it's really SuperSU) and pull the "real" Superuser.apk from somewhere else.

Um, even easier...
Download SuperUser recovery flash zip and while still inside Android on device go to file manager open /system/apps and delete the SuperSU.apk
Now restart to recovery clear the cache and dalvick cache
choose install from SDCard
Find where you downloaded SuperUser.zip and flash
Restart
SuperSU is WAY better at handling Super User requests [for instance, it has a wait state on the pop-up where it does not go quite as fast so some apps that take a min to request super user and another min to display the pop you aren't already at 1 - 2 seconds] and for instance for quite some time Super User was known to seg fault [basically an error happens and it doesn't work to grant access right when that happens] whereas SuperSU was created later to kinda address that and some other issues in SuperUser [not saying SuperUser is bad it is updated and does it's job, it's just SuperSU does it better].
Just if any guide says use SuperUser just replace SuperUser with SuperSU when doing something and in app drawer just look under SuperSU for it's app and not SuperUser.
Thanks for the help and input guys

Can I do this with replacing Superuser with SuperSU (I'm running Avatar ROM & I miss using SuperSU)?
So im trying to flash a zip in TWRP and I go to where the zip is and it isnt there. So i reboot my phone and its in the folder that i looked at in twrp. So I go back to twrp and see several old files are there that i deleted a long time ago... Its like twrp isnt seeing that i changed anything in my file systems, like its looking at a snapshot from a week ago... I even reinstalled twrp via GooManager and that didnt do anything either.

Well that didn't work anyways :l, and I know it's a problem with TWRP because when I install CWM everything is fine, I just prefer TWRP
Oh okay I figured it out, TWRP is reading all my data from a /sdcard/0 instead of just /sdcard. So how can I change it to read from /sdcard so then I can get rid of /sdcard/0
Use the link at the bottom of the op called restore sd card after downgrade. Flash via any custom recovery

Wait now TWRP is still reading off of the 0 folder, ughh its like the 0 folder switched with what I had previously
Did you reflash aosp?
After you flash the link I sent you wipe your caches the reboot back into recovery

In TWRP, change the permissions of the '0' folder to 755. Reboot. Move anything you want to keep out of the 0 folder. In Root Explorer, delete the 0 folder. Reboot to recovery. See that everything is back in the /sdcard folder as it should be.
This is the result of having run a 4.2.2 based ROM. Running the file previously pointed to will reset to use /sdcard, but you still have to delete the 0 folder for it to take.

You need to uninstall SuperSU if you were rooted before installing cyanogenmod, as CM comes with another superuser app... SO go into your apps find superSU and uninstall it

You lose installed apps, settings that you set when you started the phone, WiFi, wallpaper, texts/phone log, contacts
If you pick to back up to Google when you first set up the rom you can restore all the above apart from texts and call logs.

How do you get this thing out of Factory Mode, don't know what I did to get it there .
I've searched here and other forums, found instructions for other Samsung devices but, nothing worked for this device.
Tried editing with terminal emulator using Echo and Chown commands. Tried accessing through efs. Nothing.
Any help would be apreciated.

Fix the EFS partition then:

Or try clearing all caches and reinstalling a custom rom.
If that wont work, tell us why/what didnt work.
Did a full wipe including extsd and internal storage. Odin installed Bennys stock rooted rom and Twrp. Showed factory mode on first boot, did it all again, no love. Installed paid version of root explorer, it shows EFS as empty folder. Tried mounting EFS in Twrp, will not allow me to check the box.
Tab works in factory mode, it's mostly just annoying.

Well, a very simple question, but one which is bugging me.
My phone has kitkat and is rooted.
So, how do I remove the unnecessary System apps preloaded in the firmware? Link2sd, Titanium Backup Pro, and NoBloat free are some of the apps which I've tried. They are NOT working.
I've even tried using root explorer to delete the system apps, but I kitkat is not allowing me to mount system to read-write mode. I use fx file explorer.
Any type of help would be appreciated.

Ps - Can it be a problem with my rooting method? Here's what I did---
-> Flash a 4.3 kernel which has recovery.
-> Boot into recovery and flash SU binary zip file.
-> Flash the original 4.4.2 kernel and boot into system.
I trierd root checker and it shows I have root access. Greenify works perfect too.
