I'm on ED1, Considering rooting, but I wanted to know if it's possible to completely remove root and go back to stock if I choose... Is it possible?
Also, if I root, can I then install the ED2 update?
Sorry for being such a noob..
1. I asked this question last week. Do a search.
2. This doesn't belong in Development.
3. i'll be nice and answer. It is possible. You just reflash the ED1 rom and apply the ED2 update. That'll remove root.
Check this link:
Remove Root on Charge - xda-developers
You don't even have to apply ED2, which technically isn't getting rid of root either as the files are still there, just that you can't use them. To unroot ED1, you'd just mount /system RW and remove the 2 or 3 files that got put there to give you root in the first place, then reboot. No more root.

How do you mount system RW? Like with a root explorer? Sorry, I'm a noob!

You can do it from root explorer, or with one of the following (depends on where you are for which command to use)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl10 /system
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl10 /system
adb shell remount

Helo,im new here.. iam exploring the whole day exploring the web in getting root my device, but then after i succesfully rooted my device. i got a lot of errors like "unfortunately , the 'certain app' stop working". And when everytime i install the ROM manager, my device suddenly reboot on it self. I decided to have a factory reset on my device to check if the error will fix. And the error was actually fixed. I installed busybox pro, on the device and tried to update the busybox, and now my device has a 0.00b internal storage. I cant install any applications anymore. While doing self investigation, i removed also my Superuser privileges, thinking it would fix the issue. I also unrooted my device again. now im stucked -.- since i read about some forums that i just need to restore the busybox to the right directory. Anyone can help me? Iam running a tablet with Softwinerevb device name- i know there is a less support about this device. Running on a stock ROM JB 4.1.1. Well cross-fingers if someone could help me here.

I can install an emulator on it, and a root explorer. Is there anyway that you can provide some commands so i can gain root access using root commands and transfer the busybox from system\xbin to system\bin??
any solution
did you find a solution to this? I have a similar problem, but on a generic tv box. I have tried flashing a multitude of roms, but have only got 1 to slightly work
Try to change default install location to SD
Use ADB and try to change default install location to SD card. By this u can install some apps. Hope this will work for you.:highfive:
Late response, but I thought I'd put the answer here since I encountered it myself on a generic AllWinder/Softwiner tablet and found the answer on TabletRepublic. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post links yet.)
There's something about busybox that prevents it from mounting the /data partition, so you don't have any storage available and all your personal settings vanish.
The solution is to copy busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin. If you have ADB access (I did it from Linux) or can copy a terminal emulator to the SD card and install it do this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin
reboot
Or if you can download RootExplorer.apk to the SD card, you can install that and copy the file with it.

you'll probably be redirected to my topic. i have the same device as yours and haven't found a way to root either.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/rooting-storex-ezee-tab-7d14-s-tablet-t2941840
i tried cydiaimpactor, towelroot... nothing. those applications just straight up say that the device isn't supported, so no luck so far.

could you post a link to a tutorial on how to use iroot and a link to get iroot itself? i don't really trust google searches for stuff this sensitive.
howdy
the program i download is here
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
it is easy to follow besides putting a chinese su that can be replaced as usual with supersu
hope it helps

Hi, how did you manage to replace the chinese su with the SuperSu? I'm asking cause I don't know chinese.
too easy after having root

after the chinese su is there you can go to terminal remount system rw and replace the su bin file
the right character on the chine su is allow the left one is deny so easy to use too
i replaced it because titanium backup complains about it nothing else

There two ways both work there are also other methods to do it in the forum
install a terminal from play store open it
check if you have busybox need to install that too
type su
click on the right chinese character as soon as the chinese root appear its the allow section
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/by-name/system /system
cp /place/where the su file is/su /system/bin
chmod 644 /sytem/bin/su
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/by-name/system /system
reboot
some thing can be done with adb shell
and as i said there are programs on playstore that do this easly as long as you have root
hope it helps

Thanks!
Before your answer I managed to swap the superuser apps just by installing the superSu as a system app and rebooting the system. So far everything is working fine.
Once again thanks for your help and your very quick response!!!
Is anyone having the same issue?
Cant do it in ES Explorer or root Explorer.
On 6.01 and rooted.
Will
Sorry for the typos..am using auto correction.
i have the same issue build .253.

How did you guys root your phone? If you have rooted your Z5 using tobias.waldvogel's rootkernel, make sure you have disabled Sony RIC. It prevents mounting the /system partition for writing.
An extract from the thread by tobias:
Sony RIC is enabled. Disable?
I prefer not to disable it in order to keep my phone more secure. Unfortunately there are a lot of bad guys in this world and SELinux and RIC still can save us if someone discovers a new kernel exploit.
Sony RIC basically prevents mounting the /system partition for write. You can still modify it in recovery of of course, but if you require write access to /system without entering recovery then you need to disable it.

Hey, thank you!
Yes, I really have some very important questions for someone who knows their stuff!
So: I have an almost unknown smartphone, a Beafon X5. With Android 7.0.
A great device, just for one.. "Modder" like me, a bit problematic, because absolutely no custom software can be found for it...
But now I've managed to trying Rootaccess For the device.. With your Awesome app, Mtk Easy root and magisk.
My questions :
# can I somehow change the /system/ directory to rwx 7777 for me? Because now it doesn't work, just because of the systemless root. (at least I think) The chown/chmod commands Not working.
It will be" read-only file system" every time printed. I just want to replace the boot animation.
# Question 2:
Why can I only use after every reboot, mtk-Easy-root again from new, to activate magisk?? Why didnt work magisk, Although the SU is insatlled? Only if the mtk script has been run before, I can use the superuser in the magisk Manager Serve.
Have you an idea for this Problem?
Thank you, and best wishes from germany!

For question 1:
Android as a system (linux-like) mounts the system partition as ro (Read-only) by default when booting. In order to be able to modify it, you need to remount the desired partition as rw (read-write) as follows:
While being a root user (#) enter this command in adb or terminal on your phone:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
To revert back to ro (you should do it after you're done), use:
Code:
mount -o ro,remount /system
For question 2:
That app is based on Mtk-su exploit. You can read an article from xda here. Basically, your device's bootloader stays locked, but root resets every reboot, because the attained privileges are only temporary. (su gets to run from /data/local/tmp).
Remember!!! You Bootloader is still locked, meaning AVB and dm-verity are still active. If you modify system (changing the total checksum), you will brick your device!!! And if you unlock the Bootloader, then what's the point of Mtk-su ..........
Hope I helped you somehow.

Thank you, but I'm not a complete noobThank you, but I'm not a complete noob Thanks, really. But I tried these methods ed for a long time...
The same thing still happens, I mounted, there is no contradiction, but then nothing actually happened either...
Individual blocks can be mounted in the main directory, but not specifically the system/block. I actually only planned to do this stupid boot animation from the system/media folder. Delete/replace/rename/move zip, whatever, to finally get rid of the thing for my own ani...
And there it started. I've already spent several hours on the net to find a way. There are many options, but none have worked for me so far..
Looks like dm-verity is in effect. Disable it and then mount should work.

Hey, thanks
I've already tried that. Detects my system Not.
AVB ( dm-verity ) is bootloader related. You typically use Fastboot to disable it.

I've already tried that. My fastboot gets the same message. I have already tried the system block mounting, via dev/blocks/ but there I also get the read-only message.
Or mounting via busybox, I've already done everything.
I've googled a lot about it, and found nothing else that helps , otherwise I wouldn't have asked here on xda.
There are these read-only ROMs, how do I recognize them? Is ext4 not also read-only from manufacturer from
Thanks, guys
is your bootloader unlocked!?
you know disable-verity is adb applet, don't you?
you have been warned don't do this on locked bootloader. happy bricking..
btw there is such thing like magisk modules no need to modify system partition at all. just read the Magisk Developer Guides Module Tricks section
