Can't install

[ghost]

After giving root access, I tried installing, but failed.

Output:

### BEGIN INSTALL
Remounting /system to rw . . . fail
### END

What can I do?

Same problem tried 1.30.1 and 1.29.2.

Is arm64 not supported?

same problem, i think is problem with Android 9 system-as-root, where /system is not mountpoint, sollution will be detect this, or have option for "command to remount system" in settings... i think default is "mount -o remount,rw /system" but here is need (minimal for me Android9 HU) "mount -o remount,rw /dev/root /"

EDIT: i look in busybox/app/src/main/assets/all/scripts and in install.sh and remove.sh is "mount -o remount,rw /system" but i before make mistake, corrected+complete change for install/remove.sh for me is:

busybox ln -s /dev/block/by-name/system /dev/root
busybox mount -o rw,remount /

if i make this change in installed Bussybox app (path /data/data/ru.meefik.busybox/files/scripts), then busybox binary is installed ok(is in /system/xbin), Bussybox app/Information show v1.30.1-meefik as installed, but (also after reboot) if i run "busybox", then is still used default/system version, if run /system/xbin/busybox then is run ok correct busybox version v1.30.1-meefik...

"which busybox" show "/system/bin/busybox", in $PATH is "/system/xbin"

i think problem is with non existing "/system/addon.d"(this is also say while in Busybox app install) which is in install.sh used for "redirecting" busybox to xbin, but if i'm correct this is dir used by Magisk, but i have rooted using SuperSU

as i write install busybox app, then in path /data/data/ru.meefik.busybox/files/scripts change in two skript install.sh and remove.sh

from: mount -o remount,rw /system to:

busybox ln -s /dev/block/by-name/system /dev/root
busybox mount -o rw,remount /

but still is problem with primary use stock busybox from /system/bin/busybox and for running this is need call /system/xbin/busybox - but maybe this problem is only with using SuperSU and with Magisk be ok, try and see ;-)

Same problem (using 1.30.1) - and I have Magisk, and not SuperSU. Does this issue still exist in 1.31.1 (F-Droid doesn't have anything later than 1.30.1 - I have poked them, and asked them to provide the latest version)?

93 fixed this for me on my Android 9 phone.
