Hi everyone,
I have been trying to enable the read and write on fonts folder by chmod
Unfortunately, nothing worked for me
everytime I write chmod 777 system/fonts/ on CMD it gives me an error message saying read only.
My device is rooted.
would appreciate any help
Thanks & Regards
Try adding su before chmod
For example
su chmod 777 directory
Thanks for your help C45hY
But that didn't work also
it says Permission denied
any clues???

Exactly!
What you need to do is go to the terminal and type in the following commands:
Code:
su # gain root shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system #remount the /system partition read/writte
regards
To install from CMD - Terminal
1. Download the fxps script. http://www.mediafire.com/?o525y4b4dewdvor
2. adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system
3. adb push fxps /system/bin/fxps
4. adb shell busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps
5. adb shell reboot
To Run it
1. adb shell fxps
2 adb shell reboot
To install from Terminal Emulator
"Download the fxps script and move it in your SD Card" http://www.mediafire.com/?o525y4b4dewdvor
$ su
# adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system (Puts the system in R/W mode)
# cp /sdcard/fxps /system/bin/fxps (Copys the script from SD Card to bin directory)
# chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps (Gives root access to the script)
# reboot
To Run it open the Terminal Emulator and enter
$ su
# fxps (It will start... When it finish reboot)
# reboot
This Script is not mine i just find it and gine it to you in simple way
Thanks the Dev of this Script i hope to see it in Power Menu some day...
Great tutorial but AFAIK all available recoveries have this built in as an option dont they?

Am I the only one who thought that the system-partition should be mounted from /dev/block/mtdblock3 ?
i believe it should be mtdblock3 or you can boot into recovery and just adb shell mount /system
Hi,
I have rooted my pixel c running android 7 but am unable to remount /system as rw. I get "Device or resource busy" after running mount -o remount,rw /system

Stock ROM, oreo.
How do you execute scripts on startup? Either by init.d or some other means, doesn't matter as long as it works. The /system/etc/init.d folder isn't there. Remounting /system for me doesn't work:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/system /system
I get: '/system': Device or resource busy
I reboot into TWRP, I get the same error as above. Any help please?

For mounting you use these command.
In local terminal
HWBND-H:/ $ su
HWBND-H:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
In adb terminal
adb shell su -c mount -o rw,remount /system
And to see how is mounted
HWBND-H:/ # mount | grep system
It should return like this.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p51 on /system type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)
And to go back to ro do this or reboot:
HWBND-H:/ # mount -o ro,remount /system
HWBND-H:/ # mount | grep system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p51 on /system type ext4 (ro,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)

Thank you for your response I appreciate it. I ended up making my problem more complicated than it had to be. The solution was to open terminal and do:
adb shell
su
mkdir /system/etc/init.d
cp /storage/emulated/0/Downloads/script.sh /system/etc/init.d/script.sh
If I tried to create the folder through a rooted app (Total Commander), it didn't work. Copying the file through an app didn't work either.
Has anyone been able to remount /system as rw? FX File Explorer says it's successful but then switches automatically back to read only
I'm also trying to remount /system as rw. It seems that the patched Magisk boot file provided in this post preserves dm-verity, which disallows system partition modifications and makes it unable to remount as rw. The mount command will complain that '/dev/block/dm-8' is read-only.
Having tried repatch the boot image with unchecked 'preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' in the Magisk app, but resulted in a crash during boot (QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode). Can succesfully boot with that option checked. It would be fine if dm-verity can be disabled in other ways.

Have you tried fastboot?
fastboot oem disable_dm_verity
If it causes problems, replace disable with enable to get back to current state, but it shouldn't
I don't like to disable dm verity for performance concerns, but for now it would be okay until a new root method comes out

TWRP doesn't mount /system at the moment on anyone's devices
Correct me if I'm wrong,but devices released with Android 10 out if the box will not allow making changes to the system( i.e it will remain read-only only)

That's what I'm working on. I tried a workaround but got this
mount -o rw,remount /
'/dev/block/dm-8' is read-only

I'm trying other things as I think of them, and I have a few ideas

Do you know if stock Oneplus recovery will flash unsigned zips?
Not sure. Got one I can flash via Fastboot?

Maybe, let me go through my old files cause I think I have dmverity disabler for stock recovery zip
Okay, I'm getting closer. Typing in
mount -o rw,remount /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as usual gives me the "not in /proc/mounts" thing, but typing in
mount -o rw,remount /product
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
gives me the "/product is read only" error.
What we need is a kernel that'll let us mount /product in order for us to REALLY start playing with this device

Okay, I have an idea but I'll have to wait for the next official build to test it
Any news on this? Really want to uninstall Google Pay and install an older version of it.

I'm not much help but wanted to throw some ideas out thee. have you also tried changing read/write via fastboot or terminal emulator with (I think) chmod 777?

Tried it through Terminal commands via Terminal Emulator AND ADB. Haven't tried it through fastboot. I'm downloading the OTA now (been in Florida on vacation, leaving back for NYC this afternoon)
I tried to change font, but I cant remount system. any idea? ( the mogule font_changer has remove of programmer, my device is root without twrp.
You cant mount system as r/w because android 10 is read only
