Android adb mount:permission denied

I'm trying to edit my system/etc/hosts using adb as per this answer https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/60150/how-to-edit-etc-hosts-file

But when I try to run adb mount I always get permission denied

C:\Windows\System32>adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system mount: Permission denied

Device is rooted, connected to system.

C:\Windows\System32>adb devices List of devices attached 06a7b455 device

C:\Windows\System32>adb root adbd is already running as root

Even adb shell doesn't work 127|root@android:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system mount: Permission denied 255|root@android:/ #

Have already referred these answers, but all of them have used mount successfully in some form or the other

Android: adb: Permission Denied

adb remount permission denied, but able to access super user in shell -- android

Any help in changing the directory to rewrite? Using a windows pc, device is samsung s4 mini

Using this command on adb

adb root
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /

adb root is required to use the adb terminal as root

adb shell let you go type the command to access android system
