IN my Mlias MX56 phone Super SU install and root checker too said that it is rooted but /system folder mounts only read-only. no write priviledge is given. how to make my phone fully rooted? please help.
Hello Sayak,

Which ROM are you using? Did you root it yourself or was it pre-rooted?

Have you tried using ES Explorer > settings > root settings > mount system as writeable, does it fail?

If it's failing, I'd recommend reinstalling root from recovery, or use the auto-root method posted in this forum.

If that still fails, install a new ROM.
it is pre rooted. os version android 4.2.1.
es explorer did not help
i tried to write in system through ADB but it only mounted read only

So when you're in root settings in ES Explorer and tap mount system as writable, what happens? Does it say failed?

Did you try the other 3 things I suggested or am I wasting my breath?
Had the same problem with ES Explorer to change my WIFI files....
Root explorer free for download helps

How about the good old method?

Get to the adb shell and `su -` root to it.
Then use, `mount -o remount,rw /system`
