Why are every directories in read-only mode? (CHMOD: 755) It would not be a problem but I can't even change them because it says "FileOp Failure on: /home/adlersen/public_html/wp-content/upgrade: Read-only file system"...

0755 is considered "secure" permission for folders used for serving website content.
If you want to change them(to 0777), use cPanel >> File Manger > Change Permissions.

Fair warning that attempting to access any file or folder that is set to 777 will instantly error out with a 500 internal server error, so try to avoid it at all costs.

But the WordPress Update requires the 777, but I can't modify the folder permissions neither in the cPanel nor with my FTP client. o_O

A 0755 should do the work, you probably are mixing it with ROFS (Read-only file system) issue that has struck most of the fellow x10 users.

Are you receiving a dialog box asking for "connection information" ?

If yes, wait for this ROFS issue to be sorted out and then try again.

If it fails, then take a backup of your current site and do the upgrade on your localhost(linux with 0777) and then upload it again(with 0755).

Merci !
