I am rooted with magisk and while trying to mount /system as rw by using this command:

mount -o remount, rw /system

There is an error

'/system' not in /proc/mounts

Cat /proc/mounts returns:

    Not sure why you're using Magisk - LOS has built-in lightweight root management which can be fully enabled with an additional patch. Tried the same command and it works on my own LOS device using built-in root. Suggestion is to backup and try built-in root with a clean flash - if that still doesn't work then the problem is device-specific.

  • Well, I couldn't find that root utility, but I want a single shell statement to work across multiple devices

  • The whole idea behind Magisk ist being systemLESS – i.e. NOT to modify /system. So maybe you edit your question and include what you want to achieve by mounting /system r/w? I somehow have the feeling this might be an XY problem to be solved in a different way.

  • Actually I am making an app that mounts the /system rw(kind of file manager) using a shell script so that I can edit system files. And since the script didn't work, I checked it in ADB shell and couldn't get it to work. I know magisk is all about systemless but other apps can mount my system rw whereas I can't even with the shell...

Alright, so it was some typo issue, the correct command to mount it is:

mount -o rw,remount /system

  • Wow, I used this command for years the other way around and it worked. Now I was struggeling on an new Android 8 device and this helped, I'm impressed.
