Hello, I am new here, so sorry for any obvious mistakes a noob to forums and this website would make.
I am having a serious problem going on with mounting my /system partition as r/w... I recently removed a lot of system apps to free up space on this Cricket HTC Desire 625, and I pushed some other files onto /system partition as alternatives, such as a modified YouTube app that would work without Google Play Services.
I factory reset the phone via settings, and since then, I have lost access to /system partition, and I am struggling to regain r/w permissions. I still have root (SuperSU) and I even have TWRP and an unlocked bootloader. However, I cannot find a ROM to install to see if that may fix it, as there are no ROMs available online for this device. My main problems are...
Thanks in advanced.

My main problems are...
- Apps around 20 megabytes in size or above will automatically crash if installed as a regular app (/data/app/*app folder*/*app itself*
- Before I knew that it was stuck on R/O only, any time I would attempt to move an apk to /system/priv-app to make it a system app so that it would work properly, for a split second my file browser would tell me that it failed, and the device would reboot.
- I attempted to mount R/W through terminal on device itself, and I would get "invalid argument" when trying to remount /system as r/w, even when using ADB I still get it. (I used the mount -o remount,rw /system command, I also used adb remount on both recovery and normal boot)
- Only really small apps work. (For example, Root Explorer)
- I cannot even mount /system on twrp as r/w.
- I cannot flash any zip files from twrp that would modify /system partition, I don't have BusyBox installed.
- When I modify /system in TWRP it boots the device and exits TWRP
- I attempted to push apk files to /system/priv-app via ADB, however, the files would come through halfway and my device would reboot
Thanks in advanced.
