It is generally not possible to perform file changes through fastboot/bootloader. To do so, you need to have a runtime environment such as TWRP. Bootloader/fastboot generally only handles partition images.

Is it possible, to edit right on the /etc itself? without going through twrp?

It mentions using ADB, which can only be used either through system or recovery.

Not through bootloader or fastboot. You can dump an image, edit it, and reflash it, but this would all be much more complicated than using TWRP, which would allow you to mount the partition as r+w so you can effect the edit you want.

Details like this are beneficial when asking questions.
The short answer to your original question is no, what you want to do is not possible.
is your bootloader even unlockable?

It's not that simple. You can replace the ttf files under /system/fonts that relate to LG's default font changer. They all start with HY. Replace the files of the font you don't like/use with those that you do. You need a regular type and a bold one. Also, you need to do this in a Linux environment. Make sure you correct security contexts when you finish, or it won't work.

You need to mount it as a re-writable partition. Use the command below:
Code:
mount -o loop,rw -t ext4 image-file.img the-folder-you-want-to-mount-the-image-in
Then, when you're done, use this:
Code:
umount the-folder-you-mounted-the-image-in
You can find attached a screenshot of what the process will do in the end. I have replaced Foxrain.

Oh, well, use KDZ Extractor to get a stock system.img from a KDZ. Then open a terminal in the folder where you have the image and use the following commands:
Code:
sudo
mkdir something
mount -o loop,rw -t ext4 system.img something
Then modify what you want, and, when you're done and have corrected security contexts using "ls -lZ" and "chcon", use this:
Code:
umount something

Oh, I'm not familiar with Python. Why did you install ubuntu? You could just boot it through VMWare or something. I think you'd need either Windows or Mac to use KDZ Extractor.
You don't need to re-pack your modded system.img into a KDZ to flash it. Use the guide in this thread to do so.

Step 1. It won't work otherwise. The port needs to be opened, and that's what LGUp does.
By the way, you can mod your ROM in many ways, not just fonts and stuff. The security contexts are very important, don't forget correcting them after you're done modding.
Hello.
I've installed viper4android on my mido. Everything is ok, but there is a background static sound when music is being played. According to the viper FAQ I need to delete /system/lib/soundfx/libbundlewrapper.so. What did I do:
1. Mount system as rw
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
2. try to rename that file
cd /system/lib/soundfx
mv libbundlewrapper.so libbudnlewrapper-2.so.bak
3. No success. Trying to create backup in a file manager and than trying to delete it. Still no luck. Changed system to ro and I'll wait for suggestions.
The file is there like I haven't done anything. The uncharted territory of the system partition still awaits for me. What I can do next to get the thing to work?

Nope, you haven't mounted system in twrp, that's the reason you are only seeing /usr
So do this
From main menu, select "mount" and there select System, also make sure that the "system" box is checked and the box saying "mount system partition as read only" is unchecked(I've attached a screenshot for reference). Now you can easily go to /system and it should list the files and folders., And you can delete the file you want. Quote me if you need more help

So, let's simply fix that by:

Pushing it by any means* in the path /vendor/etc/charger (please don't create duplicates path like /vendor/etc/charger/charger, make sure you do it correctly)
Execute:
Code:
ln -s /vendor/etc/charger /system/etc/charger
*You can actually use adb within OS:
adb root
adb remount
adb pushor you can mount all partitions within TWRP Mount option, and just push the dir via adb.
Peace.

Everytime we flash a new system image this command has to be executed, right @Dil3mm4?
Will it work if @phhusson includes the "ln" command to the script rw-system.sh, after identifying the device as an Huawei device?

Hello. I installed emui 9.1 on my mate20pro with the dload method. I unlocked the bootloader again and rooted the system with patched recovery. The phone is rooted, but the system partition remains in ro. I have tried various apps to mount the system in rw, but without success. I have also tried some commands found on the net both through adb and emulator, but nothing to do. I have also tried using rootexplorer which has been granted root permissions, but fails to modify anything, nor to insert or delete files within the system folders. What can be done?

So there's nothing to do?

When "rooted" , the phone app ( dialer ), and the contacts app both get broken and crash .. So I have to fastbootflash twrp and lose root to make those apps to work normally again

Magisk can already 'replace on the fly' file from /system systemless-y.
It dies already support erofs.

Build your own erofs partitions (cf. erofs.mkfs)
Unmount stock ones and mount yours.
I just did some test 48h ago on erofs /cust and it seems to work...

So far, out-of-the-box, Magisk is already ready to replace systemless-ly files and paths on /system easily when used with modules.

Hi, I saw that you managed to get a custom erofs partition mounted using magisk. I was wondering if the same could be done for the/product folder because that would allow me to fix the DPI scaling issues found on EMUI 9.0-9.1. Would it be possible to see the code for your magisk module?
Ok, So.
After having a look at what I did with this WorkInProgress...
So far there is 2 main way I thought about and played with:
Method A
A1/
Using the mkfs.erofs tool to make your custom erofs partition and mount it over the original one. (mayne umount it before)
Thanks @ph03n!x for his work on mkfs.erofs.
Thanks @ante0 for his android arm build.
A2/
I did not yet tryed to flash via fastboot or adb these modded erofs images.
Method B
What I'm actually doing is just mounting systemless-y with a magisk module whole folders over erofs one ;
In post-fs-data.sh, I'm doing:
mount -o bind $MODDIR/cust /cust
mount -o bind $MODDIR/version /version
With a ~150MB custom /cust it is working ; It should be tryed/perfected for bigger folders.
Another way, to not replace/spoof the whole folders could be to mount the whole list of custom files at their respective path (-to be tested)
PS: I'm not sure if update-binary module's file should be modded with some:
mount /cust 2>/dev/null

I'm rather new to this trying to do something similar on my EMUI9.1 using Magisk, I'm having a problem that i can replace anything in most other folders without much problem like /etc/ for example, but when i try to substitute /vendor/, whatever i put it the folder does not only fail to get substituted, it even disappears from the $MODDIR/system/vendor folder upon restart!
I.e. let's say I create a new file in $MODDIR/system/etc. Upon restart i'm successfully seeing that same file appear /etc.
However when I create a new file under $MODDIR/system/vendor, Upon restart i'm not seeing that under /vendor. ALSO the file is gone from $MODDIR/system/vendor like it was never there.
Any idea what is happening? I've also tried manually mounting in the post-fs-data.sh, where i put the following:
mount -o bind $MODDIR/system/vendor /vendor
That actually caused my system to freeze on the loading screen. I had to reset magisk to non-modded settings in order to get it to run again.
Any help's appreciated.

Nevermind! Figured it out! Searched for the G8X Twrp installer, flashed the ramdisk, flashed Disable DM-Verity&Force Encryption, then just used the twrp file manager to handle what i needed in the directories.
I was under the impression that their was no twrp for g8x.

Yes, operating in twrp you are basically running abd root in terminal and you are system-as-root in the file manager so be careful, back-up prior to any changes. Any apk managers has a hard time with system-as-root permissions in production builds unless your the root master topjohnwu lol

But making change from manager not works coz the ui changes my change again
It should work in twrp; unless you have a recovery.from.boot file in your system. I would go to terminal and run # getprop and see what's going on, you may have a ro.prop that's not allowing what you want to change
Yes it is ro.prop so what should i do?

So will running #getprop in terminal help me or twrp will help

It will help you find to see if you have a RO "read-only" property and value on your desired item example; I want to set my adb port to 5555 i would run # getprop and look through the property's to find my item and if it says:
$ service.adb.tcp.port=5038
I would change it with:
$ su -c resetprop service.adb.tcp.port=5555
Its all depending on the property and the location in the partition the files are in really in how its modified. What exactly are you trying to do?

/product/OP is mounted to a RO only partition, I would modify in the manager built in twrp. The modifications will remain when you reboot the system that way.
