Can't mount system RW

Hi guys,

i have followed all the OP steps, root working well, tested with root checker, with terminal emaultaor (get # after command su) and tested busybox also from terminal emulator, all is good but i can't install app in priv-app (i want to install cerberus as system app). After unchecked "mount namespace separation" and rebooted the device i can mount system RW with solid explorer (same situation with es file manager), but it works one time only. I have succesfully copied cerberus.apk into priv-app but i can't set permissions. Then i can't move any other files cause can't write to system anymore. Reboot again and works one time only before another reboot, so i can set permissions.

In other words, i can make ONE system operation only per boot. Is there a solution working for this strange behaviour?

Thank you all

Another strange issue is that ai can't remove pin from SuperSU.. :eek:

EDIT:

Is this a SeLinux Enforcing related behaviour?

[Xperia Z3 General] WinterAyars:
That would be band 4 LTE, which i was able to receive on mine. Maybe it's something specific to your cell carrier? I suppose you could wait for the NA version of this firmware.

Hey,

I'm having the exact same problem. Did you figure anything out yet because I can't :/

[Xperia Z3 General] frostyvb:
Oh didn't know. Anyway i went to set up guide and downloaded internet settings but i still have no luck any advice? Should i factory reset and flash again?
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
No need. You can always download the internet settings after that. From settings/more/internet settings.
[Xperia Z3 General] benzo:
I've not installed titanium yet, so for me is not related, but I can sadly confirm that this issue still persists also after changing seLinux mode to permissive.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hal_nl:
I ran into the problem that Titanium Backup folder location couldn't be set to the external sd card due to no write permissions. I fixed it by doing what was described here. Adding that extra line in platform.xml gave me back write permissions so perhaps this will fix those other issues as well?
[Xperia Z3 General] rainboycool:
do not factory.

goto setting>my xperia> download internet mms setting.

Can somebody tell if this flashable zip deodexed?
[Xperia Z3 General] norrgrd:
Thanks for trying but that was mainly for KK with the new sdcard permissions that was introduced.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hal_nl:
The line that fixed it though is missing in L as well, and it did make Titanium Backup recognize my SD card as being write-able instead of read only.
[Xperia Z3 General] xfire:
I do not know which is why it works.

If I open Flashtools while the phone is attached to the USB, the system becomes RW.

Thank You. Sorry for my English.:good::good:
[Xperia Z3 General] kulturvortex:
Can I flash this when I have an unlocked bootloader or will this break stuff?
[Xperia Z3 General] WinterAyars:
Unlocked bootloader here, it worked with no problem for me. (I mean, apart from the network settings issues other people are running into, but that has nothing to do with bootloader status i'm pretty sure.)
[Xperia Z3 General] inffy:
Little off topic but what does the bootloader unlocking do. I know it erases the drm keys but what features will I miss if I unlock?

Will the camera go even worse in normal lightning or only in low light situations? Other features I will lose?
[Xperia Z3 General] Frazer Scott:
As far as I know you will lose remote play and low light, possibly more. My phone has a bootloader that cannot be unlocked though so have not tested this myself.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jay794:
I couldn't get Sony's unlimited services working so I downgraded back to 4.4.4. Kept DRM keys thankfully
[Xperia Z3 General] ShiversZN:
Anyone knows where the option for Location Based Wifi has been moved (or has it been removed?)
[Xperia Z3 General] Brendo:

[Xperia Z3 General] jamz2005:
I can confirm that adding the line in platform.xml:

<group gid="media_rw" />

under

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

Give back full RW access to the External SD Card under Android 5.02. After flashing Lollipop i couldn´t use Titanium Backup any more to save my apps and data to sdcard1. An error message appears that said that there is not enough memory left - now it works again !!!!!

All other programs - except Titanium Backup - had RW access to scdard1 before adding the line.

Try the following. Open SuperSU app, go to Settings and turn off Mount namespace separation. Reboot phone and reinstall the explorer with which you are trying to mount the /system.

[Xperia Z3 General] DelusionalThomas:
Hey guys, about a week ago I flashed the Baltic generic Lollipop on my Z3 via flashtool.

Since it seems you can't root Lollipop once you've flashed it, I must flash a pre-rooted ROM.

Could you guys tell me what to do next?
[Xperia Z3 General] Tem3za:
after flashing the dualrecovery is not working. need the recovery to install update Xposed,, thanks,
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Quick resume because you guys are lazy to use search and ask same questions all over again.

There is no root for LP unless you flash prerooted ROM.

You can download prerooted ROMs from here (search) or create one using PRFCreator.

Only way to flash prerooted ROM is to have working recovery on KK.

To get recovery working on KK you need root.

Only ".93" and earlier KK ROMs can be rooted using "giefroot" exploit.

So if you on uprooted stock ".77" KK downgrade to ".93", run exploit to get root, install recovery, create prerooted LP ROM including both SuperSU and DualRecovery ZIPs and flash.

Recovery on LP does not work, you can not boot it. But if I omit to include recovery ZIP in PRFC I have no rw system.

All I wrote is valid for D6603 locked bootloader.

That for short. For more info or other devices don't be lazy and use search. Repeated questions sucks. Nobody wants to read same stuff over and over again. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 23:52 ---------- Previous post was at 23:50 ----------

Need to wait for working recovery or stay with KK. Or unlock. Working recovery for locked LP gets complicated and I think it will take time. Xposed for LP is Alfa anyway.

---------- Post added at 23:53 ---------- Previous post was at 23:52 ----------

Search forums. The solution was described more than enough..

---------- Post added at 23:58 ---------- Previous post was at 23:53 ----------

1. Flash fresh ".93" KK ROM in Flashtool, full wipe

2. Root with giefroot

3. Install XZDualRecovery

4. Create PRF LP ROM including both SuperSU and DualRecovery Zip

5. Wipe all and flash.

[Xperia Z3 General] Masami1975:
please guys, is root fully functional with these prerooted Lollipop rom? I don't need recovery but complete root access
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes. Just root and preroot properly and use brain. Do clean wipes. When prerooting with PRFCreator include both SuperSU and recovery ZIP as instructed.

On my D6603 LB have since released rooted Nordic ".690" with full root, rw system, no battery drain, all fully working. I don't have recovery because there is no recovery for LB, but since Xposed is still in Alpha no big miss. And should you need to flash something into yourrunning LP stock ROM you can flash KK kernel with recovery using Flashtool and Sony signed FTF, reboot recovery, flash what you need and then reboot TO FLASHBOOT to flash LP kernel back before booting LP again.
[Xperia Z3 General] mad_max911:
How did you get system RW acess?? I am on LB also, root is working but no system rw...?? Can you test edit build.prop file....
[Xperia Z3 General] zaky1:
The easy and most perfect way to gain access to system r/w just run flashtool and attached your phone in debug mode and it will do the magic. it will restore your system r/w :o
[Xperia Z3 General] mad_max911:
Hmhmhm... So, you have D6603 with locked bootloader and was using rooted 4.4 with working recovery, than flashed preroted lollipop and ended up with no recovery and no system write access like me, and then you regain system write access by connecting phone to pc while runing flashtool?

Tried that with flashtool with no success... Is that write access just temporary while connected to pc??
[Xperia Z3 General] Kevke610:
same for me... no r/w access and no success with flashtool too :(

EDIT: flashtool's last info is: running installftkit as root thru sysrun
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
You don't need to test me from what I am saying. I have writable rw system since beginning on LB prerooted Lollipop.

As you can see I have CloseAllMOD installed. Something you can only with system rw access. I didn't do anything special. Just simple root and all clean wipes while flashing...
[Xperia Z3 General] zaky1:
Yes After Falshtool running installfkit disconnect your phone and restart and i used my root explorer apk. and i switched from r/o to r/w even i installed the mode to close all opening apk. at once from cross device section. :o

[Xperia Z3 General] mad_max911:
Very fortunate for you that you have system write access...

I got couple of replays here on XDA that i can not regain system write access for now on locked bootloader...

Interesting thing is that flashtool says "Device connected with USB debugging off" while usb debugging is clearly enabled. Maybe it has to do with MTP connection mode?
