permission to write/system/etc on android 4.3

Hi I have an HTC ONE rooted. I would like to modify a file in the /system/etc folder, but even if I mount through the terminal the file system in write mode, when I try to modify something with my editor, it says "only read file system".

The command I used is "mount -o rw, remount -t rootfs /system"

Any suggestion? Android version is 4.3

Thanks!

For rooted device:

Goto ES File Explorer

  1. From left Menu Enable Root Explorer
  2. Click on the same row (Root Explorer) a pop-up list will occur.
  3. Select Mount R/W > select RW for both root(/) and system (/system) path.
  4. OK

NOW YOU CAN EVEN REPLACE(OVERWRITE) any /system/etc folder.

Tested on My 4.4.2 OS

Enjoy !!!!

You have to change the permission if you are not allowed.

chmod 777 file_path

It will give permission to read/write/execute to all the users,group,other

Update

Before this do execute the below commands

adb shell
su 
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
