So i rooted using the method described in the bounty thread.
Apps that require root are quite happy. However anything that attempts to write to the /system area is denied, like the SD Card fixes, or AdAway.
I've tried setting it to RW using ES but not joy, also through TWRP. I'm not sure where to go from here now.
Some further investigation and a threa di missed the first time around.
Problem resolved by @pw1nce in this post.

I recent just bought a nook. flawlessly rooted it and overclocked it. Now I'm trying to do the adhoc fix using root explorer. However root explorer refuses to switch from read only to read and write. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and wiping data using titanium back up any suggestions other than adb

In Root Explorer, near the top just after the words "Mounted as r/o" there is a button to push (It says: "Mount R/W"). That will give you read & write access. It took me a while to notice that button at first.
Dahsar, that button may very well not be your problem and I do not want to insult you with this post but maybe there is someone else out there that needs this info.
Good luck with it.
I had this problem before. For whatever reason, I had to open up busybox installer and did a re-install, then the root explorer worked.

Even after pressing the little button in root explorer. It still wouldn't change however reinstalling busybox was the answer thank you

Hello.. Having an issue with my Xperia..
My device seems to be unable to prepare the internal storage on boot.
I still can access sdcard0 via my Root File Manager, but whenever I start an app that needs the internal storage - for example SemcAlbum (but also while downloading something on Dolphin Browser) - an error popup appears, telling me that no storage is mounted.
I have tried to manually start the internal storage preparation in the Android settings menu, but whenever I click the button to do so, my Xperia simply freezes for a second and nothing happens or changes afterwards.
There is a temporary fix for my issue (fixing permissions in recovery), but on every reboot the problem appears again. :/
Any help is appreciated!

Update...
Booting into safe mode also tempoarily fixes the issue.
So, the problem must be caused by a user app.
I am using Xposed (however, this should also be active in safe mode), Greenify Pro (did not freeze any critical system apps afaik) and some other root requiring apps.
So.. What might cause my internal storage to be only "partially mounted" by my XV?

Did you try to delete all your init.d scripts ? (I know you're using several tweaks)

Yes.. Didn't help. :/
However, I managed to fix the issue by removing the app System Tuner.
Was using this one because of the sysctl tweaks. But it seems to cause this problem.
(And as well another problem where applying for example flight mode or auto brightness in settings wouldn't work)
Hell, I can tell you - finding this problem was freakin hard! Had to setup my phone three times until I found it..! >.<

I originally wanted to use Lucky Patcher, main reason why I rooted my phone, howeve, it popped out an error message about BusyBox missing from the system (it still kinda sorta worked, but not really). I've tried installing BusyBox with 5 different installers, some say tahat they can't be installed and I should change a direction (even a non-system partition scares them). One app has installed the busybox, but another one can't see it, neither can Lucky Patcher. Also, no means of making /system/ writeable work (special apps, ES File Explorer, Total Commander, File Commander).
Wat the hell should I do to make my BusyBox installation existent, solid and visible? (and also get an actual ability to make that /system/ writeable).
I'm using Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 on Android 4.4.4, build number 14.4.A.0.157
Is ur phone rooted? Cuz busybox installers need root access to write to /system

Root is making your device able to write to /system/ ... Probably your device wasn't rooted correctly..Try to download-install an app that checks if your device is rooted...
If it's not try to root again using the latest guides
Hello there, I just rooted my Z3C 5803 phone with the exploit founded yesterday (.93 FW) and first thing I did was to install Titanium Backup because there were a lot of programs I wanted to remove for good from this device and also wanted to integrate newer versions into the Rom. Whenever I try to integrate, for example, a newer YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Play Store version into the Rom, TB seems to keep trying and trying forever.
Checking into the TB FAQ i found this:
"14. I tried to integrate system app updates or to convert user apps to system apps but it didn’t work. Why?
These features require a NAND unlocked ("S-OFF") device, in order to write to the ROM.
Depending on the software, some S-ON devices may "remember" modifications made to /system for a while, or until the next reboot. That is not enough for our purpose.
Please search the Internet for information on how to make your particular device S-OFF."
.......but, of course, for me that is Chinese. Doesn´t mean that if I´m root, I can anything I want to the Rom? If not, what do I need to make the phone S-OFF?
Hope someone could help this noob!
Thanks in advance.

... never mind - didn't see you posted in another section, too.
You can't make the backup because the sony ric protection dissable write access to /system.

Hello fellow SuperSU users. HAve no regrets switching to SUPERSU. Should've used this a long time ago. Anyway, I have 1 issue. Just to give you an overview, I used Kingroot to root my humble Sony Experia D2502 C3 Dual so I can disable bloatwares and without having to unlock the bootloader. Kingroot didn'\t want to be unistalled using it's own interface. Left me no choice but to use the Terminal Emulator apk. I have XZDual recovery installed and SUPERSU 2.65. While fiddling around with my phone's settings, I came across Process Stats in developers, lo and behold, I saw Kingroot still running. I tried Avast, Malware bytes, CM, CCleaner, process killers, none can detect com.kingroot.kinguser:service.
How can I go about the situation at hand? I'd really like to get rid of this leech. Can anyone direct me where I can this in the directory? I root explorer. Please see attached photos for reference. Requesting your proficiency with regards to the problem at hand. Thank you.
Help anyone
