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.

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.
