[Closed] Universal SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW / ro2rw (read-only-2-read/write super partition converter)

[Flashfire5606]

I don't know what I am doing wrong, device is Oneplus Nord N100 global var. flashed through test version of twrp. also I have tried setting custom size to 15, 50 and 0 all results the same. the end of the log goes as such. (just in case all files in log folder attached.)

systemrw: Joining all extracted images back into one single super image...
systemrw: Please wait and ignore the invalid sparse warnings...

Not enough space on device for partition vendor_b with size 1016492032

systemrw: Error! failed to create super_fixed.img file. Error code: 70

(edit: idk if dmesg log is needed xda wont let me upload it for some reason.)

Lebigmac, how much storage do i lose if i flash this script

Hi @Flashfire5606 thanks for your log files.
Hi @Rahamatulla thanks for your interest in this project.
Please keep in mind that removing shared_blocks read-only feature will duplicate lots of blocks that used to be shared. This will increase size of each partition which is embedded inside your super partition by approximately 200 MB.
Maybe that's why @Flashfire5606 gets error 70 (insufficient space) despite using size=0 (shrink to minimum).
I'm sure this can easily be fixed somehow...

that's probably why, stock vendor is 950 mb with this its showing as 1.3gb give or take.

Thanks! It works flawlessly (although I had to do it manually, it's easy enough). My device is a Redmi Note 9S (curtana). If I update my device, do I need to remake the fixed super.img or should I flash the one made before the update?

I really thank you..working for me REDMI NOTE 10 PRO Global....I only flash the zip file then restart the phone...then install the terminal emulator then grant permission after that type su then enter...then I type this command. mount -0 remount,rw /system_root

Now I can delete the system apps ....before when I try to delete says that read only file..

@lebigmac I asked this question in my other comment but I guess you didn't notice XD. So, here goes: If I flash another ROM on my device, would I need to run the script all over again to make a new fixed super.img or can I flash the one I made with the previous ROM?

Hi @LanceLot9980. Congratulations for getting the script to work on your device! Enjoy a fully read/write-able device!
If you upload your log files from script folder and a screenshot of your system mounted as r/w then I can add you to the list of successful devices on front page

@LanceLot9980 yes I noticed your question but I was on the road.
If you update OTA this will most likely restore the shared_blocks read-only feature on your super partition which means you will have to run script again if you want to go full r/w again

The flashable zip gave you error 255? Don't worry I already fixed this issue in next version Hopefully I can release it soon!

If you update OTA and flash old super image from previous firmware version this will most likely cause bootloop but you can try it if you feel adventurous. Good luck!

I see. Thanks for clarifying. Guess I'll wait for the next version of the flashable zip then.

I kinda already changed ROMs so I don't have the logs anymore . Also, I can't actually mount /system as r/w because I get an error saying it's not in /proc/mounts. I can, however, mount root as r/w and can edit system files that way.

Edit: I noticed there's 0B free in root partition in the new ROM. I recall that not being the case before. Is something wrong?

 

[jhayprince]

This my log files it's working perfectly...Redmi note 10 pro global version...

 

[jhayprince]

Successfully flashed on Redmi Note 10 Pro MIUI 12.5 android 11 without error. I can change /system to RW.
But I can only rename or delete files in /system, moving files to /system fails on Root Explorer app (magisk root), reboot is still working at this time.
Then I try to move the file in twrp file manager with "rw remount" command and it works, but my phone gets bootloop when reboot (

my friend we are thesame model redmi note 10 pro global miui 12.5.8...
but for me is working perfectly..
first thing i did is flash the zip file and give error...
then i restart my phone after flash the zip...and start to flash again and its working perfectly without error..but sad things i can't remove the system file...then i download terminal emulator and grant permission then i type this code su and hit enter then mount -0 remount,rw /system_root
after that i restart my phone and its work like a charm....

Hi again @LanceLot9980.
Yes I mean this path in Android /
Or this path in recovery /system_root
I'm happy that now you can finally mount these aforementioned paths as read/write-able and fully debloat your device

I noticed there's 0B free in root partition in the new ROM. I recall that not being the case before. Is something wrong?

Try running script again with larger custom size such as size=25 or size=50 for instance. And then please send me your log files. Thanks. Your feedback is useful for further development of script.
Good luck! Have fun debloating your device and make lots of backups before doing so!

This my log files it's working perfectly...Redmi note 10 pro global version...

Which error was it?

Hello, First of all Thank you very much for this amazing script. Sadly I couldn't get this to work on my device. Could you help me fix this error ? (look at the attachment)

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for your interest in this project. Why use old deprecated version? Try latest v1.32 and please send me your log files from script folder. Thanks.
Good luck!

And keep in mind new version is coming soon!

 

[xda general]

So while trying to get this script to work again on Redmi 9 I figured out something. @lebigmac if I run the script in recovery then reboot my device to "fastbootd" mode then do the commands fastboot erase system, vendor, product. Then reboot to recovery and reflash my rom I can get vendor and product RW but still no System RW

 

[jis251]

HI and thx. Your script works great.
I just flashed it from TWRP (I have Super Partition and I didn't change size, default 15)
It took few mins and all is ok. Now I can get my phone working much better .
OnePlus Nord 2 (DN2103), android 11
Thank you very much.

Hi there, I'm running rooted Android 11 on a Moto G Power 2021. I have tried and failed a few attempts both with the initial instructions and also the repair method you have provided. I would like to attempt using the SuperRepack process you linked to in the first post but am not sure how to apply it to your method to make it work. Could you provide some guidance on this and if possible the location of the super.bin file and what needs to be entered in the command line? Thank you and please.

The manual method worked for Pixel 4a on Android 12 (modified script), but even tho I can mount system R/W, I only get 0kb files when copying and can't create folders anywhere. I tried with FX, Root Explorer and ADB with the same results.
My goal is install Cerberus in priv-apps, I'm rooted with Magisk.
Edit: I just noticed it shows no available space in the file system, maybe that has something to do with it ?
Edit 2: Deleting a system app did not "free space", no luck.

Hi @Nad4. Thanks for your log files . This is great news! Does this mean your device still boots after flashing the patched super image? The script actually works in Android 12? That's crazy! I'm surprised they didn't fix this System RW vulnerability in Android 12 yet?!
Which device are you using?

If you can mount your system as rw and delete system files but you cannot write into your system that means script works but it looks like your system has ran out of space
To increase free system space you can run script again with a larger custom size. For example size=50 or size=100
Good luck!

auto-resize feature in next version should take care of such issues
