i have a phone here from china, the name is KATA iDROID. i was trying to root it using different types of methods, such as doomlord, superoneclick, EPRJ_EasyRoot, zopo zp100 4.0ROOT, z4root, androot, universalandroot, etc.... but i get one respond from all of these. it says failed.
i tried mounting the system manually, but it gives me permission denied.
these are the steps that i tried:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw --t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
adb shell
$ mount

the phone is MT6516, android version: 2.3.5, Dual sim from china.
can anyone help me to mount the system as r/w so i can push the files that i need. thanks in advance guys
What happens when you try to use super1click? Do you have a log for that?
The adb command you are trying will work if your phone is rooted only. I mean you should have super user permission to run the command!
Try to install all the drivers of your mobile on your pc or re-install the drivers, restart the pc and try with super one click!
Super one click will prompt you to install any missing drivers during the process. Accept all and proceed.
If you still get error try

Why are you mounting mtdblock3? It shows your system as mtdblock4. Not sure on the yaffs2 either. None of those are listed up there.
Mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 or cramfs /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system try something along those lines. Possibly take out the -t and ext3 as well, try cramfs
I could be totally wrong here but from the mount command its showing block4 as your system.
Has anyone had any luck applying Substratum themes? I read a post 2 months ago from a user that said he was succesful but that's about it. I've tried various themes and none of them have worked. Do I have to delete Theme Editor, go back to the stock theme of EMIUI and then try substratum? I'm confused. I'm rooted, obviously.
I would think you need the substratum framework in place for it to work. In aosp roms they usually bake the framework in for it to work.

nope. it's running compatible to hwdesigns. I applied a sub theme ( see pictures attached )
on some FW it's quite tricky to mount the vendor partition rw. I mounted it manually via es file explorer, installed substratum, installed the theme and applied it. everything needs root of course

Hmmm. That didn't work for me. Looking inside SuperSU, it seems that substratum doesn't even ask for root permissions. All I have inside SuperSU is Rom Control and Viper. When I go into setting inside substratum, it says "rooted mode (certified)" but I can't apply any themes. I checked and everything in my root folder has drw permissions, including vendor. Any tips?
try delete App data, then uninstall, flash your choice of root ( as I guess SuperSU ) again, reboot, then reinstall ... it has to ask for root privilege, otherwise it won't perform. The last chance I could advise if it doesn't work after previous steps is to delete SuperSU app data too.

Please help me too. my overlay folder is also read only and I don't have es file explorer option because it doesn't work (with root) on my device after marshmallow update.

Couldn't you just mount it from a terminal?
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /vendor
I am super noob

What happens if you type
mount -o remount,rw /vendor
?
You might have have to type just "mount" to check which device /vendor is at and what fs it uses
Example: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /vendor
Yaffs2=fs, /dev/block/mtdblock3=device in this example. Type mount to find out where vendor is located and replace device and fs with the ones you find. I take it you're not using a Mate 9?
I also want to apply this

Ah. Try mounting /system as rw.
'mount -o rw,remount /system' or remount,rw, whichever works. I thought /vendor was the problem, but it's probably /system/vendor/overlay.

Hahaha changed theme prity easily by changing vendor,overlay to RW with X-Plore (a file manager). Anyway thanks to everyone for replying
