Can't seem to unlock read/write permission on system files Big Sur even with administrator privileges and SIP disabled... any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to be able to unlock read and write permissions for files in /System/Library/ on Big Sur, so I can follow this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDNvpYGIl_4) where I am told to paste a file in an existing folder within the Systems so I can Force RGB mode for displays. 

 

Please help? Thanks

A quick Google gave me this link: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/big-sur-force-rgb-mode-for-displays.2268099/

 

Also, one of the first comments on that youtube link said: I coudn't find a way to copy the file to my system folder. So I manually created a corresponding folder path in my user library (~/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides) and put the folder/file there. Worked. 

 

The ~/Library notation means the Library folder under your home directory, if you're not familiar with that notation.  This is considerably less risky than trying to modify a system folder, and may be worth trying first.
