Android symlink errors system/xbin/su PLEASE HELP - General Questions and Answers

I have been trying to for over a week in the captivate forum to get ANYONE to try and help me and so far no one will. So i'm really hoping someone will take the time, i will PAY YOU UP FRONT over paypal to help me. I am DEAD SERIOUS.
Have a captivate, but this problem is not exclusive to this phone. This error has happened on just about any/every android phone there is.
Phone was working fine, have been putting any and all custom roms on that i wanted, but went to install a new custom rom (cog4), and it fails every single time at system/xbin/su. Now ANY rom i install (custom), gives me that same error. NO CUSTOM ROM WILL INSTALL. THEY ALL FAIL. I have flashed back to stock a million times, wiped, re-partitioned the sd card, master cleared, and done all of those in every combination possible. The ONLY rom i can put on here is the one i had RIGHT before this problem started (cog3.04). Only roms that can be flashed via odin will go on my phone now. All zip files fail.
I am not a noob and know my way around a computer. I promise if someone tries to help me i will be very prompt in my responses and will try ANYTHING that you ask me to. I have been googling for over a week hours a day, i am never gonna resolve this issue unless someone with the know-how helps me Every time this topic is brought up on any forum on the internet, the problem never gets solved and it fades away....there is no answers out there. Someone who knows this stuff is my only hope
I will pay you to help me even if your troubleshooting does not work

Just out of curiosity, did you open Rom Manager once you installed it to grant it superuser rights? Also, make sure you Click the top link in Rom Manger and choose your phone. "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

Yes tim i have done that.

I sent you a private message -- here is the same:
Have you tried adb root - and then from / rm -rf * and see if you can wipe all clean. Ofcourse if the issue is the partition, then this won't help. Also I have never tried this - as this has never been an issue for me.

I am definitely rooted and have su permissions, but it will not let me access SYSTEM from recovery or when the phone is on. Says access denied.

I read that post but the update-script in Cog4 doesn't have those lines. You could in theory edit the script so that it just has those three lines but I'm not sure that would be sufficient to install Cog4. That may be a question for DG.
Do you have the root explorer app?

Not sure as this looks like a patch and specifically asks for no wipe. Also my knowledge is limited as to what harm you can do that will make the phone unusable -- BUT you are already into that realm . Perhaps someone with deeper specific experience can answer this????

Open Root Explorer and remount R/W. Switch to the system partition and look at the permissions on bin and xbin. They should both be rwxr-xr-x

LOL, of course......
If it doesn't install, try installing Terminal Emulator from the Market

Ok so inside of the system folder they both have the permissions set to what you wrote.... .
There is only a bin in the folder right before the system folder...should there be an xbin there too?

Android Browser build that AutoRotates

Here's a recompiled version of the Browser that supports auto rotate.
Here's the download location for the Browser.apk:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/auto-rotate-for-android-browser.html
Run the following from the command prompt to install the new Browser:
Installation Instructions:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Browser.odex
adb push Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
Now start up the Browser.
You may not have a Browser.odex depending on your phone model.
The change, as I mentioned before, is really trivial. In the BrowserActivity.onCreate, I did the following:
// the next line is the original code
// setRequestedOrientation(mSettings.getOrientation());
// make it use the sensor for orientation instead.
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);
To restore the original Browser, flash RC30 again.
Koush, thanks so much! I have been waiting for this!
i can't get it to install and now the browser don't work and i can't install the back up
I'm getting no space available when pushing the browser.apk

Your /system partition ran out of room. Is there something you can delete from there? I've seen this before as well on some of my company's phones; I usually end up deleting some ringtones or other junk files.
took a couple of tries but installed now...thanks!
fyi i rebooted phone to initially install the new Browser. I first got errors w/o rebooting so that may fix the problem
I had the same problems with the new browser crashing and then being told that the file couldnt be copied due to lack of space,
Easiest fix is to just reinstall rc30 or rc8 and install the patched browser again.
Worked fine after that

Its basically telling you that it cant copy the file because of lack of space withing the system partition.
As koush advises, if you know how to clear space that will fix the problem.
If you dont know how to remove things and are a bit unsure of what to do, reinstalling the modified rc30 / rc8 will reset the system partition back to its defaults.
Once your back and set to default you can try to install again if you want
I'm assuming this is for those who have root access only?

Yes this requires root access,
I can see what you are saying about perhaps specifying in the post when something requires root access, but when you look at the instructions in this case its quite obvious that this one does require root.

Rooted now how do I flash a rom?

My buddy got this phone I want to hook it up as he's not great with tech stuff i rooted with z4root and just need to know how to access recovery cause i didn't see a reinstall packages option in standard recovery ? Any help would be awesome thanks guys
I just rooted with Z4root... then I installed Titanium Backup and then ROM Manager, giving both apps root access (which I verified with the SuperUser app). In ROM Manager I did "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and chose the Fascinate option and was told that it downloaded the latest ClockworkMod Recovery. What's my next step?... Choose "Reboot into Recovery" within ROM Manager or do it another way. (My goal is to install Voodoo5 using the stock ROM for now. I have the Voodoo5 file on the SD card.)
EDIT: Whoops. I just realized that I had downloaded the two files to get CWM working but hadn't followed the unzipping, etc. instructions. I'd better go back and read that CWM thread again...
First get CWM working
Then check out this ROM
Or this ROM
and if you really wanna get fancy check out this kernel
Just in case you screw up
If you need more help on each specific topic, just ask in the appropriate areas and there is usually someone around that can answer questions.
Thanks for the quick links... really appreciate it.
BTW - Titanium Backup asks for USB Debugging to be enabled... do you have to do this? It creates issues for me when connecting the phone as mass storage to my PC.
ALSO - I'm assuming I should take an initial backup with Ti before I get too far into this, right? Not having done a backup before... is Ti the best to use? (Do I just choose batch and pick an option(s)? Does choosing "Backup user apps + system data" backup game save data?) EDIT: Just did this and it ran fine but it switched my Live wallpaper back to stock?!? WTF?

Quick links are awesome! They save time, for sure.
Check the box to ask each time for mass storage and kies. Then you can have debugging enabled, and yes you have to have it enabled or TB won't do it's thing properly. You can switch it back and forth also. That's what I do.
I use TB to do my app and system data backups. Just run a batch backup on user apps and system data, like you said. That's the best option to start with. This isn't the same as a nandroid backup, but it's a good second choice for if you need to wipe data and restore apps quickly like a ROM install that requires you to wipe data/factory reset.

Perfect. Thanks! Only thing is... USB dubugging doesn't stay ticked, it's ticked and Ti says it's not, or the connection still triggers a missing driver error message with Vista on the PC. Oh well.

Nandroid backup will be there once you get CWM working.
You can do everything from the phone, just read down through the pages to find the people that have done it. They have left instructions using terminal emulator and root explorer. You will find that in a lot of instances many problems will have different ways of dealing with them. You probably don't have the Android SDK which is how you get ADB working on your computer. This isn't critical, it just makes it so that you will have to either install it or use the other means available. (ie terminal emulator and root explorer)
Still getting errors after trying several of the things in the thread... Q:I never did get a robot voice when I ran Z4root and never saw a place to choose permanent... should I run Z4root again? I mean, I was able to install Ti, etc. so I must have root, right? But I think my issues stem from not being able to get redbend_ua into the /system/xbin folder. Astro can't paste it there, Root Explorer can't paste it there, but in the terminal it appears like chmod worked... thoughts?

"Mounted as r/w"
I tried this. Used root explorer to finally get redbend_ua into system/xbin but when I try to run the commands in the post it cannot find redbend_ua. I also cannot cd into xbin within the emulator to ls ... says xbin not found. Explorer can see it there... what gives? do you have to restore redbend_ua inside the xbin directory or will it work to restore it elsewhere?
EDIT: cd to /system/xbin worked and an ls shows the redbend_ua there but the chmod 777 redbend_ua fails to "Unable to chmod redbend_ua: No such file or directory
EDIT to the EDIT: Hang on... think I may have found where I went wrong. What's the terminal command for delete?

Isn't there anyway to flash a rom using odin ? If not are the codes the same for terminal emulator as they are for adb to get cwm working?

I've never flashed a ROM using Odin, but that doesn't mean that it can't be done. The process should be the same using terminal emulator or adb, just more of a pain. I agree it would be nice to have full CWM Recovery support (or any full recovery support) but I don't have the money to spend on a phone to send to Koush right now to get that done. As soon as I do, this will be done and then I'll have a tester phone for firmware builds. It really isn't that difficult to get it working, though. I've done it probably 30-40 times now and even the first time the only flub was in a typo for the second to last character (thought it was a 1 and not an L)
So you type this stuff in all in one line or what?

2.3.4: CWM 3.0.0.5 problems

So, I updated to 2.3.4 today, and after a rebbot into recovery, CWM was gone.
No problem, I tought, and used fastboot to flash it back.
fastboot went OK, but when I tried to use CWM from recovery, I got stucked at the "stock" recovery (android with a exclamation mark). Is anyone else facing this?

NVM this first part, solved that.
Also, I can´t get adb to work, tried pushing some files and got permission denied; abd remount gave me a "remount failed: Operation not permitted" error.
Yeah, having the same problem here. The 'remount failed..' error is because the update patched our boot.img and now they are no longer 'insecure.' I think I might fix it so we all can have root again. I've also had better luck when running a shell script and physically moving apps, etc to the places i want them...then have to chmod, etc...freaking sucks.
If you need any help with some workarounds shoot me a message..also have some personal scripts that get everything going

Use RootExplorer after flash to rename the recovery.sh to recovery-no.sh its found in the ETC folder.
Try choosing erase recovery in the rom managers settings then flash.

sdcard permissions messed up?

Ive factory reset several times now, I've reflashed the android l preview image several times, and flashed two 5.0 roms over it even, and i even tried a multiboot with cm11. My device can't take pictures, video, basically anything to do with the camera doesnt work. Pictures seem to take, but don't save. Video or any panorama crashes the camera, and the error logs show something about permission denied to the files they are trying to create. How can i fix this?
Did you copy all your data back to the phone via recovery?
Usually for L, you run
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
...which is mentioned in his sticky lots of times.
But If you copied all sdcard data back to your phone via recovery, there's a different approach

Using a root explorer, go to /data/media/0/Download and set all the permissions to read, write and execute.
Then hopefully you can download stuff.

I realize I just went full retard thanks to looking in the camera for permission. I had earlier set permissions with chmod from recovery for the DCIM directory to 777, but not the Camera directory within. Thanks for helping, though!

No problem.
The adb (or TWRP MTP) only seems to break permissions if you're pushing folders. Pishing individual files should be fine.

is this problem new to android l or has it been around a while? I'll also admit I do a lot of adb push/pull/commands and such, and for a lot of the time need to because I only have a wired connection with my computer at school, is there a way to avoid this problem in the future?

Its not related to L at all. Files should be fine to push. Its just folders I think that cause the issue.

[Rom][Pre-Rooted][7.0][G920v] Offical nougat pre rooted rom

most of members the old method didn't work with him so i decide to make a pre rooted rom

I'm sorry but it's a lot of steps to write it follow the video if video show to you black screen tonight i'm gonna to fix this problem
no-go
Tried many times, unable to get past the mounting of /system. Hard lock-up.
Edit: Had root on 7.0 finally. Looked like I was using the wrong sboot. I have too many...
Note: Tried to update superSU after I had everything how I wanted it. Lost root. Had to start over. Use caution...
I have gotten my phone rooted thanks for your help.
Now we need to find a way to bypass the system rw,remount freeze, which I think is being controlled by smu_protection or something like that.

I think you phone now is rooted and you can mount system as rw just start adb
write adb shell then write su it will ask to get root from your device and then retry if doesn't work with download any explorer app like root explorer and you can edit system from it

It works for the mount /system via adb? because I did it from root explorer but it freezes again, if works via adb, tell me, Im now in the 5.1.1 android rom version

Tried it on both, including
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Freezing up
Especially with Amaze. Tried to write on the system partition and it hangs until I do a fresh reboot.
Has anyone tried if Samsung pay still works after root?
Ok, I'm in this nougat rom now, but the writable system still as a dream for us. I'll go back to the stock and enjoy of my Samsung apps instead of freezing my phone. Has someone knowledge about change the imei of this device? I want root for this. Or, if you know how to reboot the lollipop rooted rom correctly, can you explain me how?

Unsure if it "works" or not, as I never use it. However... It is bothering me to add my VISA-XXXX to Android Pay after boot. I'd say fairly good chance it does, simply because this root has thus far not touched /system for most of us. I do believe that is the red flag for SafetyNet/Pay (but I dunno. It does ask me however...)
