How To Guide [GUIDE] How to make your System RW / Super R/W read/write-able

[lebigmac]

Welcome to
SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW by lebigmac​

This script removes the read-only lock of all partitions embedded in the super partition of your stock firmware.
This allows you to mount your device as R/W and fully debloat your device and customize your MIUI experience to make it run as smooth as silk!
MIUI 12 is great but it has a little bit too much bloatware.

Be very careful when debloating your device! One little mistake could cause bootloop!
Make lots of backups before modifying stuff!

Enjoy debloating and customizing your fully read/write-able device!

NOTE: Before launching script make sure you've got full read/write (rw) access to the /data partition by first decrypting and then mounting /data partition as rw in your custom recovery!

PS C:\adb> adb shell "ls -Alg /dev/block/by-name | grep 'super'"

POCO X3 pro

so does this work on x3 pro?

edit, it didnt. threw some devblock warnings about not mounting

 

[lebigmac]

@gsser Yes it works! Try latest version! Good luck!

 

[gsser]

@gsser it can work depending on how much effort you decide to put into it.

well if it is like that, then why is there even a non complete script when it can be done by the owner...

And since you have already asked how it is on x3 pro im saying it doesnt work.

"I'm looking forward to hearing from the Poco X3 Pro users how the script performs on your device."

 

[gsser]

It is mostly because of current recoveries for x3 pro doesnt support /data yet, but the script can use sdcard rather than internal storage.

@gsser Thanks for the screenshot and feedback. Please download latest v1.32

Feel free to send me your log files if you get any errors and I'll take a look. Thanks.

@gsser Thanks for the screenshot and feedback. Please download latest v1.31 that I uploaded today. And feel free to edit the script with your favorite text editor and change the super image dump path in line #333 to this. Then save file.

 sDumpTarget="/sdcard/super_original.bin"

Feel free to send me your log files if you get any errors so I can take a look. Thanks.

Only lines i could find about data were these and i edited the path to my sdcard, flashed it.

Edit just seen you edited your reply. Ill try

 

[lebigmac]

I'm not 100% sure if your changes will work properly. Feel free to give it a try.
Keep in mind if you change variables the script might not work as expected.

The reason why the script is installed to /data/local/tmp is because in /scard path you don't have execution permission. That's why it's better to launch script from /data/local/tmp

Poco x3 pro recovery don't have full r/w access to /data/local/tmp ?! That's crazy!
You can try launch script directly from android and it should work as expected.

I'm not 100% sure if your changes will work properly. Feel free to give it a try.
You can also use /sdcard path it should be the same thing as what you wrote. Good luck.
Please report back any errors thanks.

Keep in mind if you change LOC variable you must also copy the whole script folder to that new location.

You don't have full access to /data/local/path in poco x3 pro?

This is how the folder looks rightnow. Do i need to do anything about it? Also what is LOC :c
Edit nvm, lol im blind

 

[lebigmac]

Not sure what you're trying to do but that path is totally messed up

Just run script in android operating system as described in the instructions if you don't have full read write access to /data/local/tmp from custom recovery

Have you tried manually mounting /data partition in orange fox? Maybe it's not mounted and that's why /data/local/tmp is unavailable.

 

[gsser]

Not sure what you're trying to do but that path is totally messed up

Yeah ill just change than only line

All available recoveries have issue mounting data, some cant even mount mtp.

Ill try android one and see what happens.

 

[lebigmac]

If your /data partition is not mounted then you can try manually mounting /data partition before running script.
mount /data

 

[gsser]

LOC is a safety path check feature I had to implement because some folks were launching the script from God knows where and overwriting God knows what with dd lol.

Did you try manually mounting /data partition before running script?
mount -o remount,rw /data

Yeah, ill try android version then flash it with fastboot but im a bit confused. Do i execute this command or do i need to do other things? Sorry im a noob at these things

./makesysrw.sh in=./files/super/super_original.bin out=./custom/path/super_fixed.bin size=50


Actually ill stop here since i dont get the whole thing, i dont understand at all :/ once i tried to use linux and it was not fun for me... Im bad with command lines and scripts

 

[lebigmac]

After copying script folder into /data/local/tmp/
open command prompt and type this

adb shell

su
cd /data/local/tmp/systemrw_1.32
chmod +x ./systemrw.sh
./systemrw.sh size=50

 

[gsser]

After installing script folder into /data/local/tmp/
open command prompt and type this

adb shell

su
cd /data/local/tmp/makesysrw_1.31
chmod +x ./makesysrw.sh
./makesysrw.sh size=25

now this is what i like

 

[lebigmac]

are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?

 

[gsser]

now do i need to flash the super_fixed.bin in script folder's files folder in fastboot? original super is approx. 8gb and fixed one is nearly half of it
