[Q] "Read only" File system, any help? - Lenovo A850

Hi, i have a problem with my Lenovo A850+. I rooted the device succesfully, and all the app that requires root works. But installing xposed, or any app that need to access the /system directory, they all gives errors, because my file system is read only. Now i tried to use the shell, commands, and also many file managers, but nothing helped. Can anyone help me please? Thanks

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Ok thanks

[q] fastboot help

Hi guys,
My phone currently has no ROM on it and cannot mount sd card.
I was told of a dual mount.apk file i need to run.
I think I need to do this via fastboot?? ?being new to this I have no idea how to use it / do this.
Can someone please point me in the right direction please? Thanks
Dan
Hi I don't think you should reboot as you have no rom - I'd go to your device forum and ask for help specific to that........ you need to indicate what you have and have not done to get here

[Completed] [Q] help I deleted an important system app

Hi,about last week I deleted this "package access helper" system app.and since then I have not been able to install apps.it shows app not installed.and also my app manager shows just the ash coloured box where it is supposed to show my memory space both on the sdcard and internal memory.after seeing all this my first resort was to format the fone but it didn't work so now I don't have any root explorer.
P.s.the droid is rooted and on stock rom 4.2.2.please help me and sorry for my bad english
@johnny phantom Can you please do a factory Reset ? Or better yet, reflash Stock firmware you had before this ?
Otherwise if possible, please extract the missing APK from the Stock Firmware and install in the phone.

hi.thanks for replying to my post
I already factory resented and apps still didn't install
I have the apk of the system app and I have tried installing but it won't.I was told that the function of the system app I deleted is for installing apps(package access helper) so I don't think I can install it as a normal app.if u were talking about installing with ADB please can you guide me through?
Move the App APK to /system/app folder then reboot to Recovery. Once in Recovery, wipe Dalvik and Cache then you are good to go.
thanks bro.but I don't have file explorer anymore should I use ADB.if so please type the commands I should type the app is on my sdcard..or show me a link to a thread that explains how I can move it using adb.once more thank you very much
You can visit the XDA University Tutorial {Tutorial} (Basics of ADB) For Beginners Part-1
That should get you started on the details of Pushing files via ADB PUSH Command.

thanks.I lld try and get back to you..and I don't have cwm recovery so would factory resetting do the trick of clearing dalvik cache
Yes it might. You might want to explicitly wipe Dalvik and Cache in Stock Recovery.

(general) uninstalling of System apps on Android 6

Hello guys,
I moved yesterday to Android Marshmallow on my Htc one m8 with a customROM and I am just wondering, why I can't delete any system apps. I tried to Google the thing, but I get over and over advertisement and reviews about Android Marshmallow. Nothing that helps.
I tried to delete them with several tools and manually with a data explorer. Nothing worked. It seems like the system is restoring itself. Is there any way to "fix" my problem?
It seems like it's not a device-specific thing, so I've decided to ask in the general Q and A section.. I am sorry, if this wasn't correct.
Edit: I just saw an Android QA thread, so I believe, that this is the wrong forum. Seems like this thread can be deleted, I will post it again in the Android section. Sorry!
Thank for any help!

Mmmm
Can u xplain which apps were u tryng to uninstall and by what means?
And what error u getting?
Any error with permissions or smthing?
I don't think there's any way of data to get 'restored' by itself...
I think your system is Mounted to read only you need to change it to read/write
Download root explorer then install it!
Now navigate to /system
Open the system folder
Choose Mount R/W in the upper right corner
It will solve the issue!
Screenshot given below!
Hit the thanks if I helped u

File/Data Recovery on unrooted stock P20 Pro CLT-L29 [HELP]

Hi, so some background, it has been a long time since I have touched custom ROMs or root access on an android device (back when the Nexus 2 released) so I don't really remember anything and know nothing about how the android environment has changed.
The reason for my post is that I was "hiding" sentimental/sensitive material in a folder associated with the Google Drive application using a file manager app (cut and paste into Drive folder) so that it wouldn't appear in Gallery scans, and when my drive app wasn't working as expected I (stupidly) uninstalled the update (can't actually uninstall the app on stock ROM) causing the folder to be wiped. Now I'm trying to find a way to recover the files but all the solutions recommended by a google search that I've tried require root and from what I know, correct me if I'm wrong, unlocking my bootloader to gain root access will wipe my internal storage which would probably defeat the whole purpose(?) of trying to recover information as it will overwrite the sectors. So does anyone know of anyway that I can recover this data from my device? I am willing to root as long as it will yield results.
tl;dr - need to recover files on stock P20 Pro (locked bootloader, no root), please help I am lost and a noob now
Thanks in advance!
P.S. This was (incorrectly) posted in the discussion forum before and I have requested it to be deleted

Stop bumping. You are simply in the wrong section. None of us has a Pro model. This is the P20-Forum. Not Pro, not lite. I can not understand why people see 3 different devices as one. Ask here. Good luck!
