I have rooted my P3113 and have clockwork mod recovery 6.0.2.7 because that one is the only one to work properly. also i have superuser (chainfire) installed. my su binary has been updated and i have flashed my ROM with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable. I should be able to copy and/or move files to the root folder. yet it says that it has read only permissions. i tried to chmod it to be able to write to it but the it errors and says read only file? is there any way to fix this? or a way to force it into the root folder?
What are you using the move/copy the files? Is it a file explorer app? Have you tried moving files using ADB?

I ran the bat file which I downloaded from here. When it runs it says can not find file nv_data.bin. Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
It is in the /efs folder. I am not familiar with the captivate, but do you have rw permission for that folder? Do you need root permission also? Do you have adb setup correctly? Have you tried to manually back it up with root explorer or any file explorer, then do whatever from the computer?
I cant go to recovery through Rom Manager for some reason. It works manualy( power+volume) but when I click it from the app it freezes, and shows an exclamation point triangle
have you tried to reinstall the app?
Wich CWM do you have?
thy the above post; if that doesn't work, go into recovery manually and fix permissions
that must be why
I was following this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVyGw6vycFo
and it said I had to wipe my data which I did, and maybe CWM was removed?
Ill try to flash CWM and see what happens.
Worked! thanks
In wich way?
Have you reinstall Rom manager App or reflah CWM Recovery?
actually, theres been a trend going on here....
I went on recovery to check if its working after I flashed it and it worked, after turning it off and removing the usb out of my computer I tried again and it didnt work.
Any ideas why?
Edit: when I had ROM manager I already tried to Flash CWM there if you're wondering.
Rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else with your preferred file explorer with root capability. Now reflash cwm and it will stick. What you are seeing now is stock recovery.

where can I find /etc/install-recovery.sh and what do you mean by file explorer with root capability?
Root explorer, ES File Explorer or something of the sort. This will let you directly modify files on the /system partition. Just enable root functionality in the settings, allow root when the popup comes up and rename/delete the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file (this is the correct path, /etc is a link to /system/etc - ignore the other one).
Directories work pretty much the same as windows except it doesn't use "drives" (ie, C:\, D:\, etc), everything is found within the root directory (which is /).

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.

What's the message?

A warning box pops up and contains this message: Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
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

I'm getting this I gs3. It's something to do with 4.4

The problem maybe with supersu binaries, delete these files through twrp or cwm recovery
system/etc/install-recovey.sh
system/xbin/ksud, ku.sud and su
Hi
I'm using stock android 5.0.1 on my nexus 5. I found an article about installing HTC one M8 camera on nexus5.
"nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-htc-one-m8s-camera-app-your-nexus-0160134/"
I tried to flash 2 zip files into the rom using TWRP. TWRP says successful. but nothing happens. (it works on CM12).
I looked at /system/lib folder and realized that some of .so files are not there. then tried to copy them using root explorer but I get error that files cannot be copied. (there are no problems about being root or write permission ...) .
So I'm wondering what is going on here. any ideas?
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.

Unfortunately, the uninstaller also fails.
It says it can't remove that file from a read only directory..

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.
