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.

could something like this work 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

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?
It appears we can't install apk's by dropping them into system/app. I can side load easily running rooting stock but can't get them to install when dropping them into that folder. Just for kicks I tried dropping them into data/app as well with no luck. Any ideas?
Just tried pushing it with adb, the still sits there in system/app but doesn't install.

It can depend on what it is and what ROM you are on. I just took the Camera.apk from MIUI and put it in CM7, and it worked.
HTCCamera.apk will not, however.
Did you reboot after putting it in /System/App? Also, did you set the permissions correctly?

That actually works with my theory, I think sense is the culprit. MUI and CM7 are both free of sense so you should be able to drop into system/app. HTCCamera requires sense to function properly.
So now i've accidentally removed HTC stock clock app (WorldClock.apk) from my Revolution HD 3.0 there's no way to reinstall it??
I made it to place the backuped apk from pc to /system/app but it doesn't install

C:\Android\platform-tools>adb install WorldClock.apk
1700 KB/s (517095 bytes in 0.296s)

so... i recently rooted my xperia play 4g, and i deleted the original browser apk. i thought i had backed it up, but no such luck. i got a copy off of another rooted phone that i hadnt deleted it off of, but it refuses to install no matter how i do it or what permissions i give it. chmod 644 and the permission editor in root explorer dont affect the installation. could someone help? i need it for the voice search to work properly..........

I don't think you need to install. Just try pushing it and it should appear automatically in your app drawer. Let me know if that works.

This. If you use adb to try to install something, AFAIK it's the same as just clicking "install" on your phone. But that doesn't work for system apps (often), so what you'll want to do is
Code:
adb remount
adb push Worldclock.apk /system/app/
and see if it shows up then, since that's normally how this is done.

and in this case, the remount isnt permitted, although i do have root access. and the su app doesnt say anything, so i dont know if its the app. in the log, the last entry is "shell allowed." ive tried the remount afterwards, and no go.

Hm...well, your phone should be on and plugged in, and USB debugging should be on, and it should be in charge only mode. Beyond that, I'm not sure what is wrong.

You might want to ask for this to be moved to the xperia forums or post there entirely. As i can see this is already causing confusing because you are in the wrong location for this problem. IE. 95% of the people posting here probably have inspire or desireHD phones. Might make more sense to post where more people use the xperia.
Problems and fixes most times will not work cross platforms.
Oh... I was hoping that android would kinda run the same basic way on all of the phones.... Like how you know where a windows program installs whether it's on a dell comp or hp. Lol. Sorry.

a better analogy would be like going to best buy tech department to ask about a problem for your fridge. while they probably could figure it out after troubleshooting, it would have been faster to just go to the appliance department support. Just saying the OP would be best to get support from users that may have encountered this exact problem on the same phone so it would be a quick fix instead of working through the process. Dunno bout you but the less time i am stuck with a problem, the better
Hi,
I have Motorola Atrix 2 AT&T on Android 2.3.6, And I had removed the Few Stock Apps:
AABsync.apk
Cmas.apk
Cmas.odex
Do any one with a same phone can post those files here or send them to eobender at gmail.com
They are located on /system/app , and you can get them or with Root Explorer or with Titanim Bacup.
Any Help will be Appreciated , and many many thanks will be given , without those files I can't upgrade to ICS

Why not just use the 2.3.6 fxz.That really is prolly the safest and fastest way to get you to a "good" point for an OTA to ICS.

Thank you so very much!! Replacing these files didn't fix my problem unfortunately. Makes me curious if Verizon has different version of these or is there something else i need to be looking for as to the reason my settings > user dictionary keeps force closing when i try to use it.
You've been a big help, i was looking for days for those files. I changed the permissions on them as well in a attempt to stop the force closing. they are now set to read only and only user can write, just like the rest of the files in there. I don't know what STSystem.apk is but it has all permissions enabled.
Maybe I didn't break this by deleting those files and i just noticed it being broken now. I'll post here later about how I fixed it, if anyone seems curious. Thanks for the help!!!

We must check that all permits are in 644 to all files have been copied to the system folder, there should be no loose ends, all at 644, then at the end, you have to reboot into recovery mode and do the wipes, then restart again and wait for the phone to resume the system, double check that everything works and that's it, if not, with regard to whether the files are from another operator due to different bloatware may be true that you can fail again.

I appreciate the fast reply and extensive knowledge. I don't understand what a 644 is nor what to wipe. I'm still using stock ROM and unaltered as far as flashing or anything more than rooting. I used SDmaid to move the files back into system/app as well as changing permissions. I will look into what a 644 is along with information about rebooting into recover mode if need be.
I would rather steer clear of having to reset the phone to stock, though I've done it before when i had to return a phone for defective hardware and didn't want to leave obvious super user and root on it. I left the whole setup of the CD image etc on the computer. I just don't want to depend on backups to recover my different game progress among other things.
Sorry for pretty much hi-jacking this thread. I didn't think it would be this hard and go this far. Thank you everyone for your patients.
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

I tried that one, it did nothing and camera still acted up. I've tried every app on the store. Nothing seems to be allowed to write to DCIM, even though I can create files with a normal file manager just fine.

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 it's uncommon. I've only sewn it for people using recovery or adb to push and pull sdcard folders.

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.
I just wanted to share this with any verizon unlimited users looking for a solution to wireless tethering with the V20. This needs root.
1.) Download modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk. This is from the LG G4 post http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435
2.) Rename '/system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvision.apk' to 'HotspotProvision.apk.bak' (I used root explorer)
3.) Rename '/system/app/HotspotProvision/oat/arm64/HotspotProvision.odex' to 'HotspotProvision.odex.bak'
4.) Copy the modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk and place it into /system/app/HotspotProvision/
5.) Check that the permissions on '/system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk' is 0644
6.) Reboot phone. Enjoy native hotspot
Wi-Fi tether router in the app store works perfect. I can't remember how much it is because I bought it a long time ago.
Your way is much better, free, and easy to do.

That darn rooting thing! Just giving it a little while longer before I go that route, letting things settle in now that the VZW variant has success. I've got this thread and file saved for that day tho! Thanks for the info.
Just wanted to share because I spent the day looking for a solution. I had been using foxfi on the note7, but foxfi wifi tethering doesn't work in the v20 nougat. I tried a bunch of alternative apps but none let me get past the subscription check. This mod has been working great, though the rooting processes is still pretty rough.

I don't get step 5. I don't see anywhere to find 0644
Edit: rebooted and tested and it works. Thanks for this
Just because I had to Google it myself:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/set-0644-permissions-from-es-file-explorer/
Shows how the permissions tree looks for '0644' permission. Explanation here:

And to follow up, not sure if it's just me... but I also did not have the file listed in Step 3. I am able to start the hotspot but any time I try to go to Set Up Mobile Hotspot to change the SSID or password, it force closes. I miss my PDA Net days lol
PDAnet still works with the v20 but not via wifi. Works with usb cable which I have used and Bluetooth which I have not yet tried. Been using it for years.
NO ROOT NEEDED : )
That is true, but I can't very easily tether my phone to my cheapo smart-TV with a cable
For what it's worth, the deodexed 996 stock ROM :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/us996-100-stock-deodexd-rom-t3520131
has the hotspot built in, working flawless, with editing SSID possible just fine. I'm sure his other ROM's might also, but I'm on that one and everything worked right away. Was the first thing I tested as soon as I flashed it lol.

I have the exact same issue. You ever resolve it?

I ended up using the Stock 996 unmodded ROM, which has all the tweaks (RootSwitch) and stuff enabled out of the box, and the hotspot works perfectly on that one. Yes, it's not a "Verizon" ROM, but the only issue I've had at all, is that the My Verizon app doesn't work, nor the Visual Voice Mail. I do miss the functionality of both, but for me the hotspot is more important, and I can always check the others manually in a browser or dialing into the VM anyway.
This works fine on my rooted Verizon LG V20. I had the files listed, where they were supposed to be. I also used ES File Explorer to change the permissions to 0644. By default, this file is read-write-execute for everyone. 0644 is much more limited permissions - no one can execute, and only the owner can write to it. See the ES File Explorer link above from CharlzO_2000 that shows you how to set the permissions with ES File Explorer.
I tested the hotspot for a few minutes...worked fine. No carrier nag and good connection to it from an iPad. Thanks, OP, and thanks, CharlzO_2000 for the 0644 links.
Stumped...
So last night I was able to root my v20 (verizon) and it was quite hairy especially when it was vibrating like crazy.... So got over that hump and now I'm stumped at these hotspot activation steps. Could you guys help a brotha out? So renamed the files just fine, but did not understand the section about permissions. None of my root browsers were about to change permissions to 0644, but not sure if its needed. So when I try to fire up the hotspot from the system settings it automatically shuts off and says "activity does not exist on this device". What am I missing?

I use solid explorer you'll want to go into properties to change permissions.
I didn't like that ES File Explored made me install some shopping app before I could get to the hidden system files. Pretty crappy on their part...
Everything works exactly as the OP explained. If you're having trouble with the permissions in ES File Explorer, long press on the new apk file to select it, pick "more" in the bottom right, then select properties. You'll see permissions listed there and you need to pick "change" and change the boxes so that you get "rw- r- r-" (Owner = RW, Group = R, Global = R). Back out, reboot, and you'll be golden.

ES has gone downhill over the past year or two. I still have an older version backed up to avoid their bloat. The send over lan feature doesn't work with nougat though.
If you are fed up with ES, give FX explorer a try. I've found it to be a decent replacement without all the bloat.
Could this method cause the data connection to fail sporadically? While using the hotspot, my phone network stops working. It still shows 4G and it being functional, but the hotspot, my apps, nothing that uses data works. It lasts for a minute or two and then it works again. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue...
Verizon LGV20 with 1.2 restock kernel and WETA.
If anyone would like to suggest a different kernel or ROM, I'm open.

What do u have to do to get tethering
Try reading the thread starting at the OP.
Hotspot crashing
Hello, I followed these steps and they worked to enable the wifi hotspot but Everytime I go to try to change the name and password the hotspot crashes.
Anyone have any idea if the hotspot name can be changed manually by editing the buidprop or something else?
Thanks
