Nubia Z17 Mini - System Read Only after a NANDroid Backup. It's driving me crazy - ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers

Hello every,
I would like to start by saything that I don't usually post on forums since I'll always search for hours on the internet.
I do find a solution after different atempts. But this time, absolutly nothing worked.
Nubia Z17 Mini NX569J (AArch64)
Marshmallow - Stock ROM (bought on Gearbest)
Rooted with lastest TWRP (3.2.1)
What happened : I tried to install the Xposed framework.
1/ Made a backup using TWRP containing every option I could check
2/ Installed the v86 framework from Xposed instead of the v89. It worked anyway.
3/ Back to my phone, I installed the Xposed App. Framework was detected successfully.
4/ I downloaded different framework from the App (Block Youtube Ads, Soundcloud Ads, Soundcloud downloader, Battery saving stuff...) and rebooted my phone.
5/ Long reboot time and stuck on a black screen.
6/ After many attemps, I went to TWRP and used my back-up. Everything was back to normal.
But ow, When I'm trying to install the v86 or v89 zip file from Xposed, I get this error :
Code:
Zip signature verification failed!
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/xposed-v89-sd23-arm64.zip'
Without zip verification :
Code:

mv: can't rename '/system/bin/

Error 1 occured
Root Explorer : nothing happen when I click on "Mount as R/W".
Android Terminal app :
Code:
[B][email protected]:/# mount -o rw, remount /dev/block/system
mount: Read-only file system[/B]
I tried with Busybox too but it's the same problem : system is Read Only
Soooo here it is. I don't have any idea now. I backup up a few times but nothing change.
I was thinking about chaging for anothing ROM but I'm afraid about loosing battery life. And I don't want all of my applications again.
What do you think ?

I think you must reinstall your software from scratch. And you said you rooted your phone but not a word about if was with magisk or su.
I recommend you using magisk and systemless xposed.
Good luck

[Q] Unable to install/copy files in Emulator ???

Hello,
I am a newbie on this site and android development. I want to installa nd run openvpn to my emulator. I am using these 2 sites for reference :
1)
chengdu110.wordpress com
2010/08/14
want-openvpn-work-on-android-device
2)
android.modaco

openvpn-on-android/
I am facing couple of problems. From 1st site, I can't copy busybox to system/xbin folder. I get no access, permission failure, etc such messages. Am stuck at this point and thus can't proceed ahead. In Part 2 also need to access /system/lib/ where again problem comes.
In site 2, same cannot access /system/lib or /system/bin folder. Even I can't mount like this : ADB shell mount /system
Command mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system from site 1 was successful.
Even I face problems with cp cmd. Just cp libcrypto.so libcrypto-orig.so doesn't work. I got to give "/system/lib/libcrypto.so cp libcrypto.so libcrypto-orig.so" this format only it copies. Though in the above case "Permission denoed" occured for system/lib. But this foramt worked while copying busybox file.
Can anyone help me with the permission to system folders /xbin, /lib, /bin. Why is mounting required ? Why I am not able to mount directly as mount /system; I need to give full command mount -o rw, .... -t .... /system. I am not sure what all to give in the "..." place - had just copied it from site 1.
Any help, guidance is highly appreciated. I use Eclipse DDMS and Android emulator 2.3.3. Please try to help me.

Copying Vending.apk - Can't 'cp' after running SU

I am trying to move the vending.apk into system/app from the command line.
I was going to use ES File manager. However, when I try to do 'root explorer' it fails. I do still believe I have a working root because SU works from the adb shell..
Here is what is driving me crazy, I can't seem to move or copy the file from the adb shell after I root and mount the folder as read/write.
I run these commands to set permissions and mount it read/write.
SU
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
However after running SU it returns 'cp not found' when I try to run cp to copy the file. Example...
# cp /mnt/sdcard/Vending.apk /sytem/appVending.apk
cp: not found
If I try to move it, it returns this error.
# mv /mnt/sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
failed on '/mnt/sdcard/Vending.apk' - Cross-device link
Is there something else I need to do to move or copy after running SU?
You would first have to fix the mount command because it's not a yaffs2 filesystem, and it's not /dev/block/mtdblock3. The correct command should be "mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9". Then try to copy it over to /system/app.
If it still fails, you can adb push it to /system/app after having mounted the partition in read/write.
i just moved it with explorer myself
Try to rename it from .apk to .jpg and copy it with ES File Manager. If it's successful rename it back to .apk after it's in /system/app.

[Q] /system automatically remounts as ro

I'm rooted via the standard root, with CWM installed.
When I attempt to mount /system as read-write with mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system, about 10 seconds later it remounts as -ro.
This means I can't change anything on there, is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix?

I had a similar problem once and I fixed it by restoring an old nandroid backup, I was never able to figure out what caused it.
I had the same issue when I installed the ota2 update, then tried to reroot. I think I was able to change permissions by installing, then opening superuser app.
Im on OTA1.
Hello,
I've got the same problem. With the following programs i have read/write access to /system only for seconds:
Esexplorer, file manager hd, root explorer, total commander , especially: adb shell
Strange thing: i have no problems with permissons when using x-plore or titanium backup.
(Currently OTA2)
Installing superuser again does not fix anything.
I have the same problem here (OTA2) :-/
A workaround I found is to chain the remount-command with the command you want to execute on /system:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system && cp /sdcard/Download/kernel_modules/cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/
# ls /system/lib/modules/
bcm4329.ko
cifs.ko
scsi_wait_scan.ko
Brilliant!

Root LG G2 Korean Version

Hi I followed the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45692679#post45692679
Unfortunately, the automatic rooting is not working, its say something see AUTOROOT MESSAGE BELOW . So I took the manual method but on Step 12:
12: adb shell "sync;mount -o remount,ro /system"
It says mount: Device or resource busy
So what should I do? Thanks
