ADB Push Fix Remote Couldn’t Create File: Read-Only File System
In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the Remote Couldn’t Create File: Read-Only File System error while trying to use ADB Push. So recently I was trying to make some certain changes to the build.prop file which is situated in the vendor partition. My device was already rooted and I even had TWRP installed. So I booted to recovery, mounted the Vendor partition, and then used the ADB Pull command to transfer the build.prop file over to my computer.
Then I made some changes to the file and tried ending it back to its intended location via the Push command. But unfortunately, that was no longer possible. Every time I used the ADB Push command, I was greeted with the Remote Couldn’t Create File: Read-Only File System error.

The issue wasn’t with TWRP, I booted to the OS and tried executing a few adb root and shell commands to get this job done, but none of them worked. This is when I did some further research and found out the fix of this issue. So without any further delay, let’s check it out.

With that said we have explained both these methods in the below linked guide, do check them out.
