cannot mount /system read and write

Hello,
I've tired many solutions to mount my /system to read and write but all solutions didn't work.
I'm using phoenix emulator on my laptop.
when using terminal here is the mount command:
su
mount |grep system
/dev/loop1 on /system type ext4 (ro, seclabel1,noatime,data=ordered)

i used ( mount -o rw,remount /system) but gives me /dev/loop1 is read only
tried busybox with the same command but nothing changes
tried mount /system application but nothing changed
es explorer and change /system to rw but nothing changed

Any ideas please?
 
Just so we know what we are dealing with, can you tell us your device, OS version, whether rooted (presumably is from what you've written, but it's good to be explicit), if rooted whether you have had other problems with root functions.

Note that some manufacturers include additional protections for the system partition, e.g. HTC phones have to be "S-Off" rather than just rooted for these things to be possible when running Android (though in recovery mode using ADB you can do these things). This is why it's important to know what your device is.

Final question: what are you trying to achieve? Because if this approach isn't fixable if we know that we can see whether someone can thing of other ways of achieving it.
 
Android version 7.1.1
Phoenis os version 3.0.6.64
Model latitude E5550
From Terminal i can execute commands as root by login with su, also i tried to mount / with rw and it works. but /system didn't.

I don't know what is ADB, i see many solutions talking about it but i don't know what is it?

i need to edit file /system/etc/init.sh to solve mic problem
 
OK, sorry, so you are using an Android emulator rather than an android device. That probably means that things like ADB (android debug bridge, aka usb debugging) aren't relevant.

I'm afraid I've no experience of android emulators, only phones and tablets. Hopefully someone else will read this who does know about the emulator.
 
Sorry I couldn't pass this one up
I was too embarrassed to tell my girlfriend I couldn't Mount either because my back was hurting:D
