Hello, for some reason I need a module or a file-like method that restricts system read write copy edit permissions. Some global or eu roms have restricted access to root folders, such as system vendor, and some eu or global custom roms do not have this restriction and do not have this permission.
Here I need to apply Restrictions to root files such as System vendor for those roms and block replacement read and write access.
In roms with restrictions, we can remove it with a module, I would say that I can apply restrictions for roms that already have no restrictions, so will I be able to do this for any module on roms based on UI, I need a method such as file, etc.?

Is it possible to extract files from the stock rom, edit them and then re-insert them into the stock rom?
If so would it be possible to then install this rom with an S-ON device?
If we can do this we could (in theory) edit the mounting options and allow r/w access to system folders/ files
Yes you can do that. Not if you have S-on though. Need S-off as you need root access to access the system files.
Sorry, I mean even before the rom is loaded onto the device, so to be done on PC.
Still no. editing anything to do with the system needs root access.
Is it possible to modify a stock rom's host file then recompile it *without* root? If so, how would it be done?
impossible!

Technically yes you could, but I don't think that's what you want?
You could flash a modified system partition with the edited host file.
But to flash a modified system partition you need to remove the dm-verity flags from the kernel (see my other thread).
You wouldn't need root to do that but rooting your phone would be easier .
If you wanted to be able to modify it like from an app, you can't unless you have root...
I used the app VPN Hosts for that purpose (now I'm rooted).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.xfalcon.vhosts&hl=de
It uses a virtual VPN in which you can specify any local file as host file. It's a perfect possibility for e.g. hosts file based Ad-blocking or to check different hosts files on non rooted devices. The drawback is, that you cannot use it in parallel with a real VPN...
Hello I'm having a problem I try to add a file to my bin with Root Explorer( I try several other software) but I can't do anything cause my .bin stay in read only. I can't find a way to manage this. I'm Root and all the superuser authorization seem to be there..
Thanks you !!
Android 10? If so, you cannot modify the /system partition at all, as Google locked down the partition. You'll have to look into Magisk modules to do what you want, but at the cost of not passing Safetynet.
Hey - Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I'm stuck. I've installed an app via Google Play, and I'd like to move it from /data/app to /system/priv-app (I was instructed to do this to enable extra features on the app). I can browse to /data/app and I see a big list of crazy-character folders, and I locate the one with the folder inside I need. I try and cut/paste that file into system/priv-app using Root Explorer. It prompts me "The current file system is read-only. Do you want to remount as read-write and continue?" I click yes, and then the move fails.
I'm using Magisk and I've granted Root Explorer superuser permissions.
Am I missing something painfully obvious here?
Try it from the console and see what error it gives you. You can also provide output of a couple of commands, "mount" (show the mount parameters for all mounted filesystems) and "df -h" (show free space).
This a factory system image or AOSP?
system partition is write protected.
You might have luck using Magisk module for privileged apps
Yep, someone in another thread in this section had the same or similar problem, but I believe it was completely solved by a magisk module. I haven't used that module, and can't remember what it's called, so I can't be more specific.
While is is possible to edit the system partition, I highly recommend you don't do that. In order to do that, you would need to edit the super and vbmeta partitions. There is a scripted solution to do that (here), but I've never used it.
A much easier solution would be to use Magisk's mirror partitions that allow you to virtually override/add/remove elements for the system/vendor/product partitions. Create a simple Magisk module or use /data/adb/magisk (read the Magisk documentation)
Hello, I want to root my phone. I don't know which one to install because there are too many root types. I want root for game performance, for access to system files and for providing root access of some applications.
Note:I wrote these from the translation application. If there is a place you don't understand, let me know.
Up
I just used Magisk
