[Q] Accidentally changed permissions of network drive with Root Browser App! - General Questions and Answers

This might be a first in stupidity!
I was trying to mount a Seagate Central NAS on my phone and accidentally messed up the drive's permissions.
What happened :
* I managed to mount the NAS
* It wasn't letting me write files to the NAS so I thought I would have to change the permissions of the mount folder.
* Using Root Browser App I accessed the permissions of the folder(the mounted NAS) and ticked the boxes for "set UID", "Set GID" and "Sticky".
I don't even know what those 3 boxes mean??? :crying:
* What a mistake! Now I cannot access the NAS from any machine on the network. In windows I get the error "You do not have permission to...."
Is this recoverable? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Q] WiFi finds networks but can't surf after Unlock/Root/Tiamat1.4.0?

Hi folks, I'm new to playing with Android & have a Motorola Xoom here, but I'm kinda stumped by what I'm seeing right now.
First off, I've unlocked my Xoom (WiFi model), put the ClockworkMod Recovery on & updated to the 1.4.0 Tiamat kernel for Xoom WiFi. I'll note that I did it the manual way with adb and not by having ClockworkMod Recovery update from a ZIP, because I was having troubles getting the file to the device.
Well now I have a Xoom tablet that sees networks in the area and only connects to my secured network with the correct password, but when I try to do any network activity from an Android app (tried web browser, market, and youtube), data doesn't appear to move, kinda like it's stuck on DNS - but even if I try a direct IP, data doesn't move.
I've been searching but haven't (yet) run across any hints about what to check... I'm really open to suggestions now - and thanks in advance!
you can try re-pushing the modules through adb or maybe run tiamat 1.4.0 from recovery with .zip file. its real easy to goof things in adb.
Thanks for the response jase!
Well I had tried manually reloading (aka the pre-ClockworkMod method) a number, and when I would adb shell back to the device, it could ping out to other devices & I could ping it from other devices, so the wifi driver was loaded. It's just that nothing could resolve a DNS name, and I couldn't even browse to a local server by IP address in the browser.
I don't have an SD card (yet) and I haven't seen nor discovered another way to download the .zip into ClockworkModRecovery to install it that way. When I try to use the CMR's option to mount the SDcard on my computer, my computer doesn't see the tablet at all - not as an ADB, fastboot, nor mass storage device. A pointer to a good thread with information on using CMR would be appreciated!

[Q] Cifs Manager help

Does anybody have cifs manager working and able to mount their shared network drive? I tried pushing two different cifs.ko modules using adb.. but when I go try to mount my network drive I get "no such device". Neither one seems to work. I'm using the tiamat 1.4.1 kernel.
My NAS drive is shared, I'm able to access it on any other computer through the web, so I know that part should be fine.
Please help!
update:
I reflashed the 1.4.1 kernel and it seems to be recognizing the cifs.ko file now, because now I'm getting a different error when trying to mount:
When I only put admin as the username, I get "permission denied", but when i try to put the password in for my NAS, it says "no such device or address".

Mounting Samba Share Anonymous via CIFS Manager

Hi,
Have looked around and cannot find a solution to the following.
I've setup my main NAS using anonymous or guest access to everything no user or pass required etc.
I'm attempting to mount in CIFS manager and others but no luck says mounts but when i try and open nothing. Basically it should just be 192.168.0.10/public and straight there.
I've tried CIFS with the "guest" username and no luck using file expert and anonymous access i can see the share but i really want to mount it...I know CIFS is working as i've used it to mount my downloading NAS fine....
Any ideas?

[Q] mount VPN-drive with rw permissions on sdcard

dear all,
this is my first thread - I used the search (as usual) but this time neither XDA forums nor goolge could find a answer for my issue... so lets go:
I have a working VPN connection (openVPN) to my QNAP NAS. Furthermore I am able to mount my QNAP on the sdcard - so far everything is great ( I am able to listen to my music and have access to all my files from anywhere)
BUT: whatever I try I do not get write access at this folders...
setup:
- VPN connection via "OpenVPN Settings"-app
- mounting with "Script Manager"-app
code:
#!systm/bin/sh
#insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
mount -t cifs -o username=user, password=pass, -rw 'host' /sdcard/nas
I am not familiar with linux at all. I just googled for several ideas and connected them.
Any help is highly appreciated.
