adb remount permission denied, but able to access super user in shell — android

Question

so, i\'m trying to push some files to /system on android device (zte) I\'ve rooted, connected with ADB,

adb remount -> I get permission denied adb shell su -> I\'m

Answer 1

Try

adb root
adb remount

to start the adb demon as root and ensure partitions are mounted in read-write mode (the essential part is adb root). After pushing, revoke root permissions again using:

adb unroot

Answer 2

Some newer builds require the following additional adb commands to be run first

adb root
adb disable-verity
adb reboot

Then

adb root
adb remount

Answer 3

you can use:

adb shell su -c "your command here"

only rooted devices with su works.

Answer 4

emulator -writable-system

For people using an Emulator: Another possibility is that you need to start the emulator with -writable-system. That was the only thing that worked for me when using the standard emulator packaged with android studio with a 4.1 image. Check here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41332316/4962858

Answer 5

In case anyone has the same problem in the future:

$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /system

Both adb remount and adb root don't work on a production build without altering ro.secure, but you can still remount /system by opening a shell, asking for root permissions and typing the mount command.
