Hi,
I successfully rooted my Z1, but unfortunately I cant remount /system to rw mode, phone reboots immediately.
How to fix this?
Thanks.

I have a verizon Samsung Galaxy tab. I would like to use clockwork recovery. The tab is rooted and I used ROM manager from the marketplace to flash the recovery for a Samsung Tab (Verizon). When I flash the ROM everything is successful. However, when I boot into recovery the Android System Recovery <3e> shell loads which doesn't allow nandroid backups etc... all the neat recovery tools that come with clockwork recovery.
I searched around the forum and saw a thread titled how to replace Android System Recovery with a Custom ROM. These were the commands
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cd sdcard
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
I went into abd shell I tried the commands but by the time I got to the third line I keep getting permission errors before I can even finish typing the command. I cut and paste the command string from "mount-->" thinking I just wasn't typing fast enough and it still doesn't work.
Is there another way to remove the Android system recovery so that ROM manager will work properly?
Have a look at installing boushh's kernel, it probably going to be the best option around for you.

I don't know what that is?
I have also same problem ı tryed many flashes ı coudnt fix it yet.if you allready fixed could you please share thanks.....
Just got HTC One launch day.
Immediately began work on rooting the phone. Installed TWRP and got root access for the most part, but found that this did not give rw access to the system partition.
Found viperboy's post regarding this issue. When I tried to flash the zip file "Sprint_One_Root_Disable_System_RW_Protection.zip" the phone rebooted. After, SuperSU was no longer installed nor was su for root access. TWRP is now no longer able to flash anything at all. The phone still works fine but I seem to be back to ground zero.
Just hoping someone else has encountered this.
- Update -
Upon further exploring I found that all the files were pushed to the android system and that the su file still exists in /system/xbin/, but There is no longer permission to run said command. I tried manually re-pushing all the files but no change.
It seems if anything (even TWRP) tries to access the system partition the phone reboots.
After folowing all the steps on this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41997803#post41997803) to finnaly have .253 rooted, it seems I can't write to system. Every time I try to uninstall system app using titanium backup, the phone reboots. The selected app is uninstalled, but I have to do it one by one, cause it reboots always after unistalling. Same when trying to integrate dalvik cache files to the rom with Titanium Backup or to integrate an updated app to the room. When I open the File Manager, the phone instantly reboots too... Any idea about how can I fix it?
Thanks!
Rebooting Fixed!
If someone else is facing the same problem, I fixed rebooting issue while writing to system following this guide, thanks to the user [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery][v2.3 RELEASE] cwm 6.0.3.2 & twrp 2.5.0.0 [locked bootloader]
CWM Usage warning: Root can be lost (almost worst case), a bootloop can be experienced (worst case) or a reboot upon remounting /system to be able to write to it (most cases, relatively harmless) when using CWM and before a reboot out of recovery answering the question 'ROM may flash recovery, fix it?' question is answered with 'yes'. This can be recovered from by opening a terminal app and typing the following commands:
Code:
su
/system/bin/stop ric
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Alternatively you can boot in to TWRP and go to the Advanced menu -> File manager and look for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to set permissions 755 on it.
You need to reroot, as that is the issue.
From me to you.
hum...
It means... downgrade to.434, root again,... reflash .253?

Hey there browsing with all those ads is a real pain, therefore i wanted to edit the hosts-file since adaway didn't worked.
Therefore i wanted to use the content of this page and add it to my hosts-file:
http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/
problem is, i can't mount /system with total commander although root is working (flashtool installed busybox fine as the root popup comes up and asking for root).
the bootloader is unlocked and via adb shell in root mount i also get:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: Operation not permitted
is there another way? can i somehow flash the hosts-file trough recovery?
You must not have full root. Install RIC Killer or XZDR to defeat this protection.
i thought only "temp root" existed besides the full root? well NUTS Dual Recovey is also installed... gonna check out the RIC Killer...
:Edit: Ok, neither the "Windows" RIC-Reboot Remount Fix worked, as the ZIP-Version trough Dual Recovery....
what would be the best way to reinstall root (altough it is an system app?)
The command you specified works fine for me. Further, root explorer via ES Explorer.
What root APK do you have installed? SuperSU, for example, has a "complete unroot" command you can use unroot.... but since there's no one-click root for 5.1.1, re-rooting isn't possible without reflashing. I suppose a dirty flash back over top 51.1 isn't as risky as between versions, so you could try that in order to re-root.
How did you root initially? My process for 5.1.1 has been to flash the FTF, SuperSU, and XZDR all in one go, no reboots between. People have had issues getting full root to work especially if the SuperSU and XZDR steps are separated by a reboot.
sorry for the long pause i was at vacation and there i had no chance to try something (since a backup would be needed first in case of fire )
I've been installing a prerooted tft the day 5.1.1 came out. RIC Killer didn't worked and fully unrooting well... doesn't work either
Flashing a zipped SuperSU or something like that won't work? I mean - i can unroot it go to XZDR and flash it again - this should work right?

you could try Rashr https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj4v8__3qTJAhVFWBQKHW_mBQMQFggfMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dde.mkrtchyan.recoverytools%26hl%3Del&usg=AFQjCNGu4pHxHY9Qtjx32JgaHSioXrepGA&sig2=QydTlDPGIzJT6A1Bu1QDeA with rashr you can install any recovery you want and you wont lose the previous one, it might fix your problem
PS: I dont think there is a fix with lucky patcher, you could try contacting the developer

Open terminal in twrp folder...
Then run following commands-
mount -o ro /system
mount -o rw,remount /system
Maybe you got error.... But when u try to flash anything.. It definitely works.. Hope this helps
Worked like a charm, thank you very much
