Can't Change hosts file to rw (noob)



I'm using a Huwei Pronto and a friend rooted my phone a while back so I factory reset. I was unable to connect to Google servers and I've tried everything I've seen so far.
I am once again rooted using kingroot
Device is running android 4.4.4 KitKat
Every file explorer I've tried has root access
Es file explorer, total commander, fx explorer, etc...
I've come to the conclusion that the hosts file in etc is the file at fault, as it has an extra line.
I couldn't edit or overwrite the file so I looked to forums and found that I needed to remount.
When I try to remount I get
Remount error: read only file system...
I've even tried commands to remount in terminal emulator but my device is not listed when I type adb devices
Pls help it has been 6 months. I just want to be able to use Google play again.
