Root Trying to root my ZTE Valet, Stopped at Read-only file system

[jammerbam]

So i'm trying to root my phone (btw i am new to all of this, kinda a noob) and i am using cydia impactor. The problem is that when i run the command "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su " it gives me an error that says "Error: Read-only file system". So then i did some research and found the ADB shell, I looked up some chmod codes to maybe change the "system" folder to "Read-Write" but when i ran the code i got the same error "Read-only file system". So then i tried running the shell in root with "adb root", but then i get the error "adbd cannot run as root in production builds", soo i am very confused.


any help would be great


(before i axe this thing in half)

Rooting is very device specific, so I moved your question the the All Things Root subforum for the Valet.

I left a permanant link in the forum you posted in. You are posting in the same thread now, just in the new location.

Absolutely no worries. The new forum software makes it so seemless you hardly notice.

actually the question im trying to ask is how do i solve the "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" problem

Your problem is that the current phone you are using, may not support ADB Root. It may, or may not.
