HI,
here's the problem...I tried to install snote3 app for the new 4.4.2 leaked rom but can't succeded because the file was corrupted.
Now if I try to delete the file with root browser (both manually or trying to overwrite it with a new snote3 file) the app says "succesfully done" but nothing really happen...the file is still there.
If I try with other apps rather than root browser the operation simply fails...so I'm in a situation where JUST THAT FILE can't be delete,renamed,overwritten,launched and so I'm obviously can't install the new application.
Any idea?
thank you

BTW, you said that you are using Root Browser, but did you enable the R/W on System files ?
If that's not working try another Root Browser (Root Explorer or ES File explorer are recommended)
...And I assume that you are rooted being installed with Leaked 4.4.2 ROM.
You can only delete,replace or modify system files IF you have enabled R/W on system files, which is most Root file manager set the default to disabled.
If you still can't remove it,I recommend you use AROMA File Manager.
AROMA File Manager can only be open in Recovery (CWM & Philz/Advanced CWM...never tried TWRP)
Solved! Thank you guys

Hello Members
I'm kinda new to rooting, i just installed ics 4.0.4 rooted it and now im having problems changing permissions in root explorer. Im trying to install Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip. I'm following the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818. But its not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
just a guess but mayybe becuase it is in the i-777 forum, it could have diff, libs or something. idk if im right or not.
It worked fine when i had gingerbread. Since ive had ics been having issues with root explorer. I got passed moving the file from sd to system/app with help from other threads but when i try to change permissions in root explorer i get the message.

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.

The mod isn't phone specific, it worked when i had gingerbread on the same phone.
Check Superuser SU for any errors. It may have denied permissions. If so, just click the button at the bottom to enable RootExplorer to make SU changes.
Please help me...!!!
when i m trying to chage the permission in root explorer its showing me...'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission changes.'
plz tell me how to solv it...I have LG P698 mobile phone...its hv android 2.3.4
I've got root, SuperSU, and it won't let me change the files at all. I can't rename the files. Just says, "HotspotProvision.akp cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only". I can't find a permissions option. Do I need the pay version of Root Explorer?
What am I missing here?
The filesystem needs mounted as read write

you rooted your phone as a thread?
what does that mean?
No some permissions are unable to change because it is for safe purposes because you might screw up your phone if you change the permissions or there is a duplicate file of it

ok... i think there is a newer one in development section, with superuser 3.1.3
but i don't know if that is the problem, anyway you can redo the whole process of rooting, starting with flashing stock or you can change the app
i use root explorer and it works nicely, never had a problem with it
another thing you can try is flashing a custom rom, maybe its a firmware problem

In system/app the .odex file was already there. However, i tried copying both files to the /app dir and they fail to copy. I also tried to simply install the app and it also fails. I'm puzzled.

You need root explorer (assuming the device is rooted). Do not install it, but copy it to /system/app, set permissions, restart phone. Everything until restarting is done in root explorer.
Strange thing happens. I've downloaded the files to my extsdcard, I copy them to system/app and I then browse the files to make sure they're there and only the odex file is present. I'm using Root File Manager.

I think the odex file was already there, just the apk was deleted.
Actually, I don't know what's wrong. Try a different root explorer/root file manager to MOVE these two files to the system/app directory. Also before that, you have to mount the system partition as R/W, not R/O. U can do that in adb (command "adb remount") or with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=lt (I'm sure there are other ways to do that, but I prefer these two).
I'll give it a try

I am having trouble finding my nandroid backup file made with TWRP. I can't even find the TWRP directory! This file system is so confusing! I have tried ES File Explorer, Root Browser, and tried searching the file system using my laptop. I have even searched for "2014-12-13" and nothing is found. Can anyone please help? Nexus 5 on Android 5.0 w/ TWRP v2.8.1.0
I had probaby the same problem as you are facing. N5 with TWRP 2.8.1.0. After making nandroid I could not get the backup to show up within the TWRP folder (which is visible and accessible with ES File Explorer).
This issue was when I was using this specific Lollipop 5.0 rom (don't know if it is rom related or not) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57372774&postcount=1
Then I went looking for another Lollipop rom, specifically a 5.0.1 version and found this one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56734946&postcount=1
After flashing this rom and making nandroid the backup shows up normally within ES File Explorer. Not more issues.
Don't know if this helps, hopefully :fingers-crossed:

It isn't empty. You're just using a file explorer that isn't very good at reading things that need root permissions

I'm using ES File Explorer. But SuperSU doesn't show it having root access. How do I give it root access? It was my impression that ES was THE way to go for file explorer apps...is there a better one? Obviously opinion, but I'm open to suggestion...
Edit: Okay, using Root Browser I found the TWRP directory and the backup. However when connected to PC, windows explorer can't see it. How do I move the backup to my PC? This is ridiculously complicated to backup to PC...

That's a known issue on Lollipop. It happens when 2 apps require the same permission.
Have you got ROM toolbox installed? That app is known to conflict with jack pal
If not, you'll need to run a Logcat whilst installing to find out which app is conflicting

Okay, so I uninstalled ROM Toolbox and the terminal I had. Good call :good:
So now the question is, what did that command do? Hahaha...
/data/media/0 is supposed to be the mount point for /sdcard. Sometimes when flashing lollipop, this association breaks, making your /sdcard contents (and sometimes just some of it) disappear. The command restores that

Okay but how does that benefit me? And how can I view my backup locations in windows explorer?
I tried installing it with both Flashify and Magisk, but both methods failed.
When I tried installing it via the included Xposed Installer, it also failed, but gave me the message:
> Error: Xposed_Framework.jar already exists in /system/framework
I'm guessing a previous installation failed, but left the file there.
My next idea is to delete that file from /system/framework and try again, but since it's in an RO directory I don't have permission.
I tried using a terminal emulator to mount the drive in rw mode, and also tried using a root file explorer, but either both methods don't work, or I just couldn't figure it out.
Anyone have an idea of how to remove or rename that file so I can try to install the .zip ?
-Thanks

In the Xposed app you should be able to just run the uninstaller script. If that doesn't work, boot TRWP and delete it from there.

Root Explorer....
This app does wonders, it allows you to modify directories in /system and other root folders. You can even change permissions of specific folders/files from read/write/read-only....etc. I've had this app since the earliest of android days and it has been my go to file explorer. Root Explorer of course requires root....but it completely unlocks your phone and allows you to modify any system file that is set to any permission. Of course there are other file explorers that allow you to modify system files, but this is the one that i have the most experience with. You should be able to access the system folder where the Xposed file remains and modify it so it can fix your problem.

This!. I've used it for years. Not muss no fuss. It's not bloated like a certain couple others I know of. It just does what it does and does it well. Manages files. No extra garbage.Give it a try. I'd be surprised if you can't delete it with Root Explorer. If you do try it, go to the folder you want to delete the file from. Once in there, look at the top right of the screen. Somewhere up there It will say MOUNT R/W. Touch that and you should be able to do whatever you want to within that folder.
Do you have the magisk DNSCrypt module installed? If so, thats why you cant modify anything in /system. Not sure why or how it breaks it, but it does. Took me for ever to figure out what was causing it. Now that i removed the module, i can modify anything i want again.
