You can use adb: (enter after each line) Put Launcher.apk in C: 1st.
adb shell
rwsystem or mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push C:\Launcher.apk /system/app
or you can use terminal: (enter after each line) Make sure Launcher.apk is on the root of your sd card 1st
su
rwsystem or mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm system/app/Launcher.apk
cp sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app
exit
exit
Hope this helped.
Exiting out will cause problems. A lot!
Rather than typing exit type reboot instead.
1. Mount /system in mode r/w (you can mount it, for example, from RootExplorer - select /system and press button mount r/w)
2. adb shell
3. su
4. mkdir /system/s8
5. mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/s8
6. cd /system/s8
7. busybox tar -x -f /data/ankuch2.2.tar
Everything Ok. But Cant'Boot im waiting very very very Long time(3hrs) only OS selector Logo only.How to install ankuch2.2 ? Again Explain any other method ?

Hello guys, i know that maybe some people have the same issue, i was able to bypass this using a not very beautiful solution but it works perfect lol.
Check this:
Code:
1. Connect your phone with adb, then type adb shell
2. Type su, to get root access
3. Type stop ric
4. Type busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric
5. Type this "mount -ro remount,rw /" without the quotes to remount / as rw
6. Type this "chmod 0440 /sbin/ric" without the quotes
6. Copy the file build.prop from /system to /
7. Open this file using a root text editor, in my case i used Root Explorer
8. Add this "ro.secure=0" without the quotes below "ro.build.host"
9. Save the changes to the file
10. Type stop ric
11. Type busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric
12. Type "mount -ro remount,rw /system" without the quotes to remount /system as rw, after you do this, please continue to other steps as fast you can.
12. Type busybox cp -af /build.prop /system/build.prop
13. rm /build.prop
14. Done. Now you should be able to mount /system as rw too.
I tested this because i was trying to get ubuntu to run on my system but the bootscript was trying to mount my /system as rw, it was rebooting my tablet but now i've ubuntu perfect and running.

Also i've my bootloader locked, so i believe this could work for both (unlocked and locked).

unlocked bootloader users don´t have the reboot problem :silly: o i think sony want´s to stop the people from rooting without having an unlocked bootloader.
mine is unlocked, had no reboot problems on .370 rooted but i´m on cm10.1 now tough i had no probs with stock. i love the stock android interface and top statusbar.

That's nice to hear, but it makes sense because with a customer recovery that would be very easy to fix lol.
I do love CM 10.1, but i don't want to loose BE2. In my case i love how it works making my colors more vibrant but well i'm use to AMOLED displays so you can imagine.
I hope to see a way to bypass this or maybe a new stock firmware from Sony with the new status bar.
Thanks for reporting that you don't have this issue!
juanyunis,
Could you please share or write a manual for installation of Ubuntu on Tablet Z?

Sure I'll write one tomorrow. It's very easy once you have root with remount system fixed. Have a good day.

This fix didn't work for me. To be more precise, it worked until I turned off the tablet. After I started the tablet, remouting caused reboots again. :crying:

Oh, just to add,. I verified that the /system/build.prop file was saved correctly. The line is added.

It's a temporal fix lol, but you can use Fisherman ROM with that fixed, i just don't need to use this fix all the time. But once you did this, you can open a terminal on your tablet and run this:
1. su
2. chmod 0444 /sbin/ric
3. stop ric
4. busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric
If you want this to be a permanent solution you can create a sh script with those commands and then user a init.d app like CPD Adjuster to run that script on boot. I'll try to do this for you.
Thanks, now I understand. Stupid of me really. It says temporal in the title.

Hi!
When i edit the build.prop file i have bootloop issue!
So i'm traying the bellow
su
mount -ro remount,rw /
chmod 0440 /sbin/ric
stop ric
busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric
Then you can mount /system as rw from a file explorer (estrong)
The attached file (unzip first) you can use it with ROM toolbox (add as new script) and execute as root and on boot option (if you want a permanent solution)
It's very useful when I deodex my ZULTRA without CWM.
Just to say thanks.
And.....can I use your method in my post?

Easy Method Linux Install...
There is an app on the play store called "Complete Linux Installer" it works perfectly fine and you can pick from different distros, I tried Ubuntu and Debian. If you can find the full version somewhere for "free" you can customize your screen rez. There is a free version that has some restrictions. You also need androidVNC to mount. This runs on top of android so when you are done with linux you just shut it down to go back to android.

it will be better to execute the commands like this in a row (one single line) as to execute them asap:
mount -o remount,rw /system; mv /build.prop /system/; chmod 644 /system/build.prop; mount -o remount,ro /system
Bootloop!
I followed the instructions on the first page and successfully mounted /system as RW. Then I rebooted (by typing reboot in ADB), and now my tablet is in a bootloop.
I didn't touch anything other than build.prop and media_codecs.xml. What should I do?
Edit: Solved by flashing FTF.
is there any save way to run it on a 16GB wifi only model ? I have root, but my BL is locked.
did try the script form page 1 but this did not work. I am not sure about edeting the build.prop witht the bootloop problems :/
greetings
edit: it would be fine if i can edit the host file from the pc just once, without rw access from the tab itself, i just wanna get rid of those annoying ads everywhere
very usefull on xperia z1 thanks man :good:
Prerequisites:
Rooted device
Busybox installed ( get it from Google Play )
Terminal emulator ( get it from Google Play )
An armv7h linux image ( see the download link below )
ArchLinuxARM images:
You can download any ArchLinuxARM image you want from this link sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/ArchLinux/
After downloading your image rename it to "arch.img".
Step 1:
Create the following directories on your EXTERNAL-SDcard ( works on internal too but you'll have to modify the paths in the arch.sh script ): archlinux/ and archlinux/mount/
Step 2:
Copy the arch.img file you downloaded from your computer to your EXTERNAL-SDcard and store it under archlinux/
Step 3:
Open a text editor on your computer and create a new file called arch.sh and paste the following text in it:
# path to the linux img
# change this in case it is different from your image's path
LINUX_IMG=/storage/sdcard1/archlinux/arch.img
# location where the linux image will be mounted (/storage/sdcard1/archlinux/mount/)
# change this if you want to mount it somewhere else
LINUX_DIR=/storage/sdcard1/archlinux/mount/
# create the directory where the linux image will be mounted in case it doesn't exist
mkdir -p $LINUX_DIR
# mount the image
busybox mount -o loop $LINUX_IMG $LINUX_DIR
# mount dev and proc directories
cd $LINUX_DIR
busybox mount -t proc proc proc/
busybox mount -o bind /dev/ dev/
# optionally mount sdcard and external sdcard (if you do not want to mount them simply comment the following 2 lines)
busybox mount -o bind /sdcard/ sdcard/
busybox mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/ external_sd/
# copy resolv.conf from android environment to arch linux environment
cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/resolv.conf
# chroot into the arch linux environment
chroot $LINUX_DIR /bin/bash
Step 4:
Copy the arch.sh script from your computer to the root of your INTERNAL SDcard ( since we don't have execute permissions on the external SDcard we will store the script on the internal SDcard).
Step 5:
Unplug your AscendP7 from the computer and open the terminal emulator.
Once the terminal emulator opened type the following:
su
cd /storage/sdcard0/
./arch.sh
If you followed the above steps, after executing the above commands you should find yourself inside the ArchLinux environment.

Hi, can't have full access to /system folder with adb
Installed magisk OK
Installed magisk extension module 'adb_root' OK
Code:
adb root
adbd is already running as root
but when I try to delete :
Code:
adb shell rm - f /system/app/CloudService/CloudService.apk
receive Read-only file system
any help ?
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /
/dev/block/dm-1 is read-only
Code:
adb disable-verity
verity cannot be disabled/enabled - USER build
tried 'systemrw_1.32' and 'systemrw_1.32_modded' with no success, the installation seems to have been just fine
then flashed the only file I found into /img folder with command :
Code:
fastboot flash super super_fixed.bin
but at the end, even if all is gone fine, the command give always same answer as read-only :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /
/dev/block/dm-1 is read-only
is there a way to make MERLIN as /system RW ???
