[Q] Cannot Change Permission. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Want To Add New Boot Animation. I Download One With Zip File I Want To Paste It In System/media Folder. With Root Explorer I Am Not Able To Delete Old File Or Paste New File Or Change Permission. Please Help.

There should be a setting to mount R/W in Root Explorer if I remember correctly...then you should be able to change permissions.

I Checked Everything. Nothing Happens.

Solved : I Download An App Called Mount /System From Playstore And It Worked. Thanks A Lot

After rooting, I cant replace my bootanimation.zip file, says permission denied

Is there something I need to do once rooted to be able to copy this over?
How are you doing it? If you're using say Root explorer you need to Mount Read/Write.
You can ADB push the file or you can simply put the bootanimation.zip in data/local
I just realized the file program I used wasnt asking for root access...I downloaded root explorer and it did ask for permission.
So I was able to get it done.

Help changing permission

I am updating to Thiaiz rom, and he told me to change permission on the init.d file. but ising the root explorer I cant seem to change it, because it is a read only file. can anyone help me on this issue please..
-Navigate with a file explorer to /system/etc/init.d and change permission on both scripts to "777" it means mark the 9 permission options.
-Install Script manager from market.
-Open script manager, navigate till system/etc/init.d and run the 2 scripts at boot.
thats the instruction, but i cant seem to follow it.

There's ES File Explorer installed. Update to latest version in market if needed.
Open up app
Press Settings
Scroll down to root settings...
Check Root Explorer and Mount File System. If you fail to check Root Explorer, update to latest version of ES File Explorer in market.
Now that you got root explorer mode...
Press back till you go back to the file explorer.
Press the Sdcard looking icon on the row of icons. Its the leftmost icon in that row of 6 icons.
After you've pressed it, click into system folder
Next, click into etc folder
Next, click into init.d folder
You will see two files in there.
Hold down on the file (whichever first doesn't matter), then press properties.
Click Change in the permissions section, and then check everything.
Press Okay and repeat for the 2nd file.
After you are done, restart the phone.
After phone is restarted, go check to see if the permissions are changed.
thank you very much for the detailed instruction. i love this forum i tried em and it works

[Q] How do I find the system/media folder on my Droid X?

My Droid X is rooted and I was wondering how I could change my Boot up Animation. I've read you have to copy and paste in the system/media folder to replace the old Boot Animation.zip but I can't find the system/media folder. I am running Gingerbread on my Droid. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You have to use root explorer from the market to access that directory on your phone... you can navigate to your SD card and copy the file then back to the root directory, in there there is a folder called system, then subfolfer media... in upper right corner is a button that says mount r/w change it to r/o and paste file, overwrite existing... all set

Root Explorer is not the only file manager that can do this.
There are a number of root enabled file managers in the market. ES File Explorer, Super Manager, Jrummy's ROM Toolbox. Any number of others.
The point is that you do need a file manager that is 'root enabled' to access those system directories.

That's good to know, I didn't know there were other apps for that, I've only used root explorer (I bought the paid version, so I'll stick with it) but if anyone asks now I can give them more options

R/W System/app folder

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me out and tell me how can I make my system/app folder R/W.
I want to install DSP Manager via recovery, but my phone doesn't let me move the app to the system/app folder, because it only reads, it says!
Can someone tell me how I make it writable, please!
Use a program like ES File Explorer and make sure root/write settings are set in the options menu. Now you'll be able to edit files directly.
Thank you for your help, it worked!

I had the same issue, i used this >> https://app.box.com/s/z0a12rt18gm3dtfqqndl
I got it from stock odexed 4.4.2 rom here on xda and please check the sha1sum of the file, it should be 1A008709F0945E8EACA2166D143622EB8D94C3D0
Otherwise the updater script wont install the update, also use es file explorer or any root explorer to replace the file and set permissions to chmod 755 and shell access, more info here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48333174#post48333174

Just use es file Explorer, cut the file in ur system/bin/debuggerd and take its backup on sdcard, then paste the given file, change the permissions to the one's like given in the second post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48353992#post48353992
You should be having root access in es file Explorer with partition mounted as r/w
