[Q] How can I modify or edit system file in the Andriod System

Hi,
I posted a question in forum about how to connect my A500 tablet to an Ad-hoc networking but after I did some search in the forum I found some steps to solve the issue and it is starting from rooting the device and finalizing by modifying a file in the following path:
sdcard/system/bin/wpa_supplicant
The problem is I can't rename the file (wpa_supplicant) also I can't copy the modified (wpa_supplicant) to the system/bin folder and a message appearing told that this file is "read only" and can not be modified or edited. Note that I used Root Explorer and Root Browser to explore the systems folders.
Please any one can help??

You can't do this because your device is not rooted !
Use Root explorer don't give all super user privilege to your device

my device did not open what shall i do??

As the guy answered, you have to be rooted in order to do that.
Im not sure if you can root tablets, I have never had any interest in this direction because I dont have money to buy one.
But if you can you click on Root explorer, then click mount r/w , go to system/apps.
If it is mounting r/o you can delete system apps, I did that to my SGSII and my battery life lasts much longer.
You also have access to the files that created the applications, the ones you create in Eclipse.If you are a developer , you would know what I'm talkin about.
I dont know any other ways of doing this if you are not rooted and I'm almost sure its not possible, but good luck still.

Im not sure if you can root tablets,

You can root tablets, even the a500 as tough as it is to do so. I am running FlexReaper ROM on my Iconia a500 right now. It's flippin' awesome !
As far as editing the system files, the O.P. may need to actually mount the drive as r/w.
In ES File Explorer there is an option to actually mount the file system as 'writable'......(which will be rejected if the device is not rooted).
Do you see any similar option in the file explorer apps you are using ? If so, try to enable it. Just browsing 'up to root' is not enough......at least for ES.
I would use a root check type of app to verify you are up to a 'true root'.
As for custom ROM's the Iconia a500 tab requires flashing with a custom unlocked bootloader and custom recovery image like cwm, then installing/flashing the new custom or stock OTA ROM and any desired app/system packs if needed. The Iconia a500 is pretty tricky, but possible.
If you do go the way of custom ROM's, I HIGHLY recommend the FlexReaper RF-1_rv3 Custom ICS 4.0.3 ROM for users running the Acer Iconia a500 tablet.
Super smooth, and the only custom ROM that doesn't start with a funny snow screen when initially booting up. A couple other ROM's I tried would 'snow' like a bad hardware compatibility issue or something. Flexreaper seems like it is the perfect ROM for the a500, at least for me.

many thanks for all help;
I used an app to check if my A500 is root and it is called "Root Checker" and told me that my device is rooted and I have root access but when I used Root Explorer or Root Browser apps I found there is a button to switch from (r/o) to (r/w) but when i bushed it never changed to (r/w) by the way I used a software to root the A500 from my laptop this software called ( ICS ROOT 2) if this software is not rooting so can anyone tell me about the right way to root my A500 device which it is working on ICS system bcoz really I confused!!

I actually used the same method so I am unsure as to what is going on here.
Will read back thru my research and see if I can figure something out. I am still new to this rooting/flashing thing, so I don't want to mislead you. I'd rather find my methods in tangible text online, rather than relying on my fuzzy memory.

I am not sure if this will help, but if you boot into recovery, check if there is an option to fix permissions. Run it then reboot normally.
Should be under the Advanced header.

IMOP,your Root explorer manybe havent get the right from super user.
Or,there is a problem with the root app.
My A500 rooted with the method instead of official Recovery.

@ Valkillmore : thank you for your support I'll try this method and comeback again and post the results

Root + SSH + remount
Here's how I do it.
1) Root your device.. lots of tips on this in the forums and the process depends on your specific phone model.
2) Install SU super user access.
3) SSHDroid - Install from market and allow root access (via SU)
4) Turn on SSHDroid and login to it via an SSH client from your computer (see putty for windows, Linux, Unix , and MAC should have it already).
> ssh [email protected] (for example)
5) remount the system drive (it is typically mounted as read-only
> mount -o remount,rw /system
Then you can go ahead and modify files under /system folder. Note: when you reboot, /system will be mounted normally (read-only).

i had the same issue
i had astro file manager, it doesnt have complete root access.
downlaod efs explorer
go to settings
allow "up to root" click allow when super user dialog box pops up
select "mount" right under "up to root"
then go to efs explorer main manu press the "up" tap
navigate to wherever you want. bne carefull with what you change.
i was changing the APN settings on my evo

[Q] help with saferoot

i am hopeing someone can help me out here.
s4 mk2 build#
it seems i cannot update binaries on supersu that is stopping me from rooting my phone
Saferoot seemed like a no brainer just hit a couple keys and command prompts do everything so
I tried the saferoot way which i think half worked. the issue i am having is it seems i am stuck on trying to update supersu binaries. nomatter what i try it wont update.
i have tried thru the play store and downloading to my sd card. although on my card i must admit that i just didn't know which file to load being new to this.
in case those pictures dont show up
i downloaded root checker and it says
Check Command: ls-l ?system?bin?su:
Result: rwsr-sr-x root root 46596 2014-02-19 15:22su
Analysis: Setuid attribute is present and root user ownership is present. Root access is correctly configured for this file! Executing this file can gain root access!
this leads me to believe i am pretty damn close right?
anyway could you give me a hint as to the way you rooted your phone?
or to someone else that doesn't mind noob questions like this.
Thank you for reading my breakdown and responding if you can.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 (SM-G3502) Rooting Help

So.. After a whole week trying to find a succesful way to root this f***ng phone, no success has been found.
I couldn't find this phone's section on XDA so I'm posting this on the general section...
If anyone could give me the link to the section, it would be very appreciated.
This is the phone:
Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 - SM-G3502C
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: JLS36C.G3502CZCUAOD1
I have tried a number of on android apps, windows software, and even tried rooting manually by adb and linux. But couldn't have a single successful attempt or any signs of progress made...
Can anyone help me out with this phone, the reason I need root is because this is a chinese phone and doesnt have Play Store installed, and I need root access to install Play Store on /system/apps/ and give R+W permission...
Apps tried:
Saferoot
Kingo App Root
iRoot (vRoot/Root Master)
OneClickRoot
TowelRoot
A bunch of .bat rooting scripts
Baidu in-app Rooter
Rooting through ADB (everything was going fine until I had to access Ubuntu's Nautilus, to move the files to /system/ but the device wouldn't mount by MTP on download mode, and I couldn't access the files) link to the guide followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2684210
Any help would be truly appreciated, and If there is a way to install play store without the need of root access, or even a good replacement for play store would be really good.
Also, I have 0 experience on custom recovery, so, If any developer out there could create a custom recovery for this phone, I could give them the recovery.img from this phone and modify it to work on this phone. If that's the way it works, idk XD.
P.D. I already opened a thread on XDA-Assist but sorry, I had to move it, I saw that every post on that section had little views and replies and I was worried that this would happened to me on that section to me too. I'm ok if I need to erase it from there but I would like to leave it there for some time if there is any replies.
Link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/samsung-galaxy-trend-3-sm-g3502-rooting-t3106250

Hi, still you right~ looks like your are really can't to wait to root your device. Just try KingRoot, we just release new version which can root device from Android 2.x to 5.0. I can't give you promise, but just have a try~ good luck

Well it didn't for me. Also I want to know what I am doing with my tab and not just know that tapping this button will root my tab.

Have you ever tried to look at this site -> http://www.oneclickroot.com/device/acer-iconia-a1-713/. They featured this one-click rooting and it seems they can be trusted. I've downloaded and installed their software so no worries. Well, I'm also using a one-click root utility and it's always working. (just sayin')
The process of rooting a device is too complicated for those who don't have knowledge in Linux (like me), so your question about manually is out.
http://www.oneclickroot.com/device/acer-iconia-a1-713/

Well this one click root website was also a waste of time and didn't work either .
I may have to wait a little bit more before dumping this thread.

Rooting an android device basically means (for me) granting You (as the user) to do whatever you want to your device's system, hardware, etc. But what does root will actually do to your device that will cause you to obtain that superuser access? It's because of the "su" (Switch User) file used by Android and other UNIX-based systems that allows a process of switching of a user to be the superuser (or root user) that has access to the commands and file system, meaning those processes that requires root permission (root access or superuser access) need to invoke su. So basically the process of rooting will just push this su, a binary executable file, to the file system so that you can switch to the root user to give root permissions... And the Superuser application is just optional, but really required for some reasons, it serves as the "gatekeeper" of the su binary so when a certain command or application that invokes su will prompt the user by the Superuser app first before granting the root permission since becoming the root user can do whatever to the system which means it can cause the device to malfunction, etc... So what do you mean by manually?
Sorry for what I'd just suggest you that OneClickRoot waste your time...
Oh, there's a bad news after spending time searching how to root your device, read the news here -> [GUIDE] Firmwares, ROMs, CWM, Root - Acer Iconia (MTK) Tablets [ⒶⒸⒺⓇ ⒹⒺⓋⒾⓁⓈ]
Can't find a best way to root your Acer.

Well thanks for enlightening me on the topic, I hadn't really understood what really is su..
By manually I meant by using computer and tinkering with the files hands on.
Oh, and you needn't to be sorry since everything I tried didn't work. Sometimes I had root till the app was open while sometimes it existed until the next reboot.
Also looked at the link you gave and well, what can I say, it really is bad news and there sure is the risk of bricking my device.
Well thanks for taking your time.
