Urbane is it possible to change System files on AW 2? - LG Watch Urbane

I'm essentially trying to replace a system file (with the intention of disabling touch to wake) on my Urbane running AW 2.0
I've tried using TWRP 3.1.0.0 and TWRP 3.0.0.0 + squashfs but neither allow me to access the /system partition as r/w
I've tried to root so I can use a file explorer to replace it as well but that fails.
Can anyone please offer me any advice as to how I can proceed?
Thank you,

The squashfs is compressed and cannot be wrote on the go.

Thanks skin1980. Guess I'm stuck for the moment then.

Something about TWRP recovery

Hi guys, I have got a very urgent problem right now, and hope someone can help me out...I am currently using a HTC One M7, and I used the TWRP recovery and the official bootloader or something rooted my phone, the reason why I need root it is that i need a app move into the system apps which may be easier in using it. And after I moved the app into the system apps using Root Explorer and then reboot my phone, the app just disappeared. After tried many times...I think it is because of the twrp just wipe it... do u guys have a method to solve this problem?...really...pls help me out!!

This is not a twrp issue, /system partition is write-protected by the stock kernel, every changes made in the /system partition will be reverted after a reboot. If you want to be able to write to /system when booted in the rom, you'll need a custom kernel with write-protection disabled (pretty much all custom kernels here have this). The other option is to make the changes you want in your /system partition before the stock kernel boots, so using the embedded file manager of twrp recovery for example.
If you want to use a custom kernel, you must choose one that works with your rom type and version. For example, ElementalX kernel will only works for Sense or GPE rom (stock or custom). The version of ElementalX required depends on your android version so newer doesn't mean better, you need the right one. Flashing a custom recovery is done using twrp recovery. When installing the custom kernel, you can choose the features you want to be installed so if you don't want a specific feature that the kernel offers, its not a problem. The write-protection is removed by default.
If using the twrp file manger, boot in twrp select "advanced" ---> "file manager"
Then to move a file, select it (tap on it) then it will open another menu. Select "move" then select the location you want to move it to. There is also a chmod menu to edit the files permissions.

Oh, thanks for answering me~ uh, can u be more specific about how to do that? about the kernel thing? I never did this before and actually this is just my second time to root a phone and try to move an app into system app (as last time i did so there is no such a problem...) Also, about the twrp recovery file manager, tried that one yesterday, and it did not show the " app" folder under the system one, which means i just cannot move it using the twrp file manager...

You can also use aroma file manager within twrp recovery
here a nice xda-video about both twrp file manger and aroma file manager

Yep sorry, should have mentioned that, you always have to mount the partition you want to access when using a recovery. Some are mounted by default, but /system isn't.

Can't mount /system when into recovery after Marshmallow update

After flashing Marshmallow update, I'm cannot mount /system while in recovery mode (I have tried TWRP 3.0 and also 2.8.6.1 with no luck).
The main dissapointment with this is I can't flash any ZIP while in recovery.
I have tried to reflash Marshmallow update with no luck.
Any help will be appreciated!

Reinstalled from fastboot but no luck.
When I click Mount -> System from TWRP recovery (2.8.6.1 / 3.0.0) nothing happens.
I have also connected using adb to the watch in recovery and tried to manually mount /system but a error is triggered
Code:
mount: no se puede encontrar /system en /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab
Appreciate if you are in Android 6 and you can reboot bootloader then try to mount /system

could you drop the recovery log my boss is starring at me weird I hava a watch constantly rebooting and is vibrating so I cant flash ir boot recovery anymore (keeps going away)
I'm not quite sure the syntax twrp is expecting to be able to handle partitions of multiple types. My watch is supposed to get here on Saturday. So if no one has released a patched version by then, I'll take a look at trying to figure out how to make it work.

So I don't have a watch yet, but I hacked up this twrp image. Not sure if it works though...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zkn0wwh454x037f/twrp-3.0.0-0-bass+squashfs.img
That twrp image works, but the current supersu (nor the current beta for MM) seems to be working. The systemless root (new beta from chainfire) at least installs supersu in the app list, but it crashes on execution.

The only difference between the regular supersu and the "wear" supersu is the apk is deleted. So using the latest stable, 2.65, and just deleting /data/SuperSU.apk afterwards, it should work.

Hello,
Tried your modified TWRP (thanks in advance).
It is mounting system image (but only in readonly mode).
Supersu is installing, but even if I delete the supersu.apk after the first boot, isn't working at all and the "su" command is blocked.

Well it looks like my watch is on track to arrive on Saturday, so unless someone else looks at it before then, I'll hopefully figure something out this weekend. system will always be readonly because they switched to squashfs, which is a readonly filesystem.

MHA-L29C636B172 perfect boot image

Hi guys
if anyone is interested in testing out this boot image i created for my c636b172
removes all encrypt, perfect mounting options for all partitions (this took a while to figure since some caused bootloops)
also reduced voltages for wifi module (may be unstable, if anyone has problems let me know i can try and adjust, otherwise if im not getting problems ill just keep decreasing it)
how to install
1. make sure twp is installed
2. in data/dalvik-cache delete arm and arm64 folders.
3. boot into twrp > wipe cache and dalvik
4. flash the boot image in twrp (flash image select image flash to boot)
5. if you had su installed, flash the zip again
6. go to wipe cache and dalvik again (just in case)
7. reboot and enjoy, theoretically should be slightly faster, and less overhead.
Download
https://www.dropbox.com/s/msda9a3smy9lqb4/modBootv2.img?dl=0
if anyone has a request for their specific boot image let me know and ill add the same values.
Thank you for your work. Is this only for C636 devices or would this work on any device.
Could your reassemble it to add features like DT2W (doubletap to wake)?

i think DT2W is disabled, no flags of it in the boot image, you can try this guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/enable-double-tap-to-wake-mate-9-t3580764
the boot image is for the c636, im not sure if you can flash it on another base you can try just have a stock boot.img handy
or to be safe you can send me your boot.img and ill edit it the same.
Thank you for your friendly offer!

no, twrp 3022 doesnt have MTP access right now.

Which advantage is on daily usage. I guess I would have to install supersu again, for it modifies the boot.

Using a file Explorer with root support, navigate to /data/dalvik-cache and remove those 2 folders. Alternatively use a terminal app and 'rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/arm*'.
I guess you could use the file manager or terminal in twrp.

SuperSU making /system read-only in TWRP and FlashFire?

Hi,
I'm running CyanogenMod13 on my galaxy S4 with TWRP 3.1.1.0 and I wanted to flash XPosed. The xposed page says that it's only compatible with SuperSU so I installed latest Stable SuperSU 2.82 and deactivated root access on CM13 in developer options. Then I tried flashing Xposed framework zip but it complained about /system beeing a read-only file system and I realized that TWRP didn't ask me anymore if I want read-only file system (which it always did before I installed SuperSU) anymore. Looking into "Mount" I see that "system" is not mounted by default but also making a checkbox there doesn't change anything even if "Mount system read-only" is not checked. BTW: Do I have to apply the mounts somehow or is activating the "checkbox" actually enough. Maybe my problem is just that system is not mounted r/w which is my current guess but I don't know how to mount it r/w now that SuperSU is installed.
Then I though, ok if mounts are incorrect in TWRP let's use FlashFire. So I selected to mount system r/w in option for flashing and started the flash. Again even if I selected mount system partition r/w flashfire reported read-only file system. I also tried downgrading to SuperSU 2.79 but same effect.
What the hell is going on since I flashed SuperSU. Is my root now partially broken? The Apps all are working fine, it's just modifying system partition is somehow not possible neither in TWRP nor FlashFire....
Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

Try my SuperSU systemmode from here.
Thanks for the link and it also gave me hint what to google for. It seems that my SuperSU is running in systemless mode, so I would need Systemless Xposed too. Unfortunately this also requires Magisk to be installed and Magisk doesn't work with adoptable storage which I can not live without. So I will give your SuperSU version a try and run it in System Mode and try to install official xposed too. Hopefully this works.
Edit:
I had a hard-time switching from systemless mode to system mode cause you have to completely unroot and restore the patched boot image fully (just un-rooting and restoring doesn't do the trick) fortunately I had a nandroid backup from prior to rooting with untouched backups of "boot" and "system" which I could restore. Finally I was able to install the system mode SuperSU (although I didn't use your package, but created a .supersu file with SYSTEMLESS=false) and flashed it.
This now enabled me to run latest Xposed in system mode which was failing when trying to flash in systemless mode. I would have needed magisk (which is incompatible with adoptable storage) to run it systemless. I tried using the old 86.2 systemless xposed but that always resulted in a boot loop whenever I activated one of the xposed modules). Now it's working fine., Thanks for the hint ho led me find out what system mode and systemless really is.
So actually my problem is solved, just couldn't find out how to edit the thread title....

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/MAGISK/Magisk-v16.0.zip'

Good evening from Spain.
I tried to flash Magisk onto my SM-J530F (Samsung Galaxy J5 2017) but not successfully.
Here's the log:

Consider that I did the following:
- Flashed stock rom (J530FXXU2ARB3_J530FPHE2ARB3_PHE.zip content)
- Flashed "CF-Auto-Root-j5y17lte-j5y17ltexx-smj530f.tar" in Download mode via Odin, to root and install SuperSU, since it's needed
for flashing TWRP to avoid any bootloop.
- Flashed TWRP.
- Since I already have TWRP, I tried to uninstall SuperSU from the very app, in Options > Full unroot but gave "Uninstallation error", so then I tried to uninstall SuperSU by flashing "UPDATE-unSU.zip" on TWRP.
- Once that is done, I tried to flash "Magisk-v16.0.zip" and it throwed the log I've above mentioned.
- Since it says: "! Boot image patched by other programs.
! Please restore stock boot image", I rebooted it onto Download Mode, and flashed ONLY the BL (bootloader/boot) slot. Came back to TWRP, I flashed again "Magisk-v16.0.zip" but still have the same problem.
Hope there's any solution to install Magisk onto my SM-J530F. Thank you.
Your issue is that the boot image still is patched by SuperSU. Until you restore the stock boot image you won't be able to install Magisk.

Edit: I don't do Samsung, but from what I remember, you might need to flash AP (or something like that).

Nice to hear it worked. Just for the record, the "Failed to mount /system" message is a TWRP thingy. The Magisk installation is done at the "-Done" line.
Hi, I have the same problem of error 1 while trying to install Magisk from TWRP.
I looked everywere and they say that it is related to a boot image that have to be reinstalled. I did that and no luck, I tryed with boot.img, no working, I even restored ALL the ROM Stock from Samsung ( AP, BL, CP and CSC) and it is not working. I dont know what to do anyware...
Regeet the time was easy to root Samsung with CF autoRoot,
I tried that and ask me to restore all thephone, so still no root??
Some can help please??
Thx

That would work, but you should be able to open it directly with pretty much any text editor as well. If you're going to post the log text directly, please at least use HIDE tags...
So here what I just did:
I wanted to do a last try to get that error 1 msg and get the repport directly to publicate it here...
So I decide to go to a clean basis. So,
1- Install all the stock ROM with odin. I choose the Home_CSC
Was another just CSC without Home, dont know exactly which one I had to choose, I choose Home_CSC.
2- Turn the fone off
3- Turn it back to download mode
4- Install the TWRP recovery, and I did not reboot.
5- Turn off the fone.
6- Turn on to recovery mode.
7- Format the data (yes)
8- Reboot to Recovery mode.
9- Install Magisk!
AT MY BIG SURPRISE I DID NOT GET ANY ERROR MSG!!! The installation finished without error!
So I continued...
10- install No verity
11- install SuperUS 2.82
13- Reboot the phone.
I was thinking that the root was ok, now I have a new pb. When I tryed to verify with Root Checker, it says no root. When I entered the app, it said BINARY OCCUPIED.
So any suggestion?

Say what...? You've misunderstood something, somewhere. Use Magisk OR SuperSU. Magisk is it's own root solution...
Are you by any chance using some old and outdates guides? Previously you could use SuperSU with Magisk, but that has not been the case since v13.0, well over a year ago, and MagiskSU has been around since v11.0, introduced a year and a half ago.

The root management app for Magisk/MagiskSU is the Magisk Manager. SuperSU and it's accompanying app is a whole different root solution (that has been sold by @Chainfire and seemingly abandoned by it's new owners).
Magisk usually takes care of dm-verity itself, so there shouldn't be any need for an extra no-verity zip. Sometimes it is needed, but I would skip it until you've tried using Magisk only. If you don't know, dm-verity is used by Android to determine if your device has been tampered with. If you wan't to root your device (tampering), you usually have to disable dm-verity or the device won't boot at all.
If you want root with Magisk, do your list again, but skip step 10 and 11. If it doesn't boot after that, go back to TWRP and flash the no-verity zip.

I just repeated all the procedure, this time just with Magisk, like you said. its installation finished without any error.
I just tryed ROOT Checker, any I finally have the root on my fone!! Thanx you very much for the support, and the explanation.
Can I use Backup/Restoration with TWRP knowing that I rooted with Magisk??

Great to hear! :good:
You can use TWRP without any issues. Magisk has no impact on it and TWRP has it's own su.

Thx you one more time. Going to install some of my app and configure my new fone then do a backup, for a clean restoration in some months...
I have a problem for the Backup with TWRP. When I want to do a Backup, I get this msg:
failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
I ve looked on google to fix it, the solution I found is to change data to ext2, then back to ext4.
The pb is that it is removing everything from my phone?
Anyone is having the same issue??

Your issue is that the boot image still is patched by SuperSU. Until you restore the stock boot image you won't be able to install Magisk.

Edit: I don't do Samsung, but from what I remember, you might need to flash AP (or something like that).

Hi, i am rooting samsung a5 a520w. I am following the steps in the instructions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535).
Now I met a problem like this:
! Boot image patched by other programs!
! Please restore stock boot image
Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/MagiskManager/Magisk-v17.1.zip'
I have no idea where is the boot.img located. All documents in the external card is:
RMM-State_Bypass;
no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0;
Magisk_17.1
@imcn001 Your answer is in the link from the post you quoted.
