[Q] Permissions change was not successful (root explorer)

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.

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.

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

[XPERIA E] Problems accessing root directory

Hi to all the lovely people at xda!
I ask for some assistance on the problem that I'm facing - I am not able to access the root directory on my phone!! I've tried fx file explorer amd root browser. Both show that the file is empty
I've tried rooting and unrooting, but to no avail..
Guys help me out!!
P.S.- i am not sure though, root just may be an empty folder, so I ask you guys to check out the root directory on your phones and then answer.
Thanks !!

It shows up empty for me in CM10 - it asked for root access before showing it to me, though.
Maybe it's a by-product of using the Linux kernel? /root is the root user's home directory.

i have deleted xbin folder in system/xbin path

Please Help I have deleted xbin folder in system/xbin in my samsung gts5303 and now i want to again root my samsung gts5303 but it is not rooting now.Firstly i have rooted it with Root Master android app but now when i m trying to reroot it with Root Master app it shows Sucessfully Rooted and also installs supersu app but not installs binary becouse binary is installed in system/xbin folder and i have deleted it.
and an unknown folder sbin is added in /sbin. and it is empty i have no root acess but when i m deleting it it is sucessfully deleted but when i comeback to / path it is added again
Now i m requesting you to please solve this problem and give me any app by which i can add xbin folder again in system/ with out root.and with out pc because i have not any pc...
thanks in advnce...

I hope you have a nandroid back up, otherwise it is going to be really hard to do with out a PC handy.

You will not be able to add File or folder in system even 3rd party app will not be able to write on system folder without root permission so try to full unroot the phone then again try to root so there is a chance of reinstalling binary again anyway don't you have nandroid backup?

how can i do nandroid backup

[Guide] Unroot your device with out using any programs

[/CENTER]HI folks .. I got an easy and simple way that will help u to unroot your lovely android device .. I know that no one wants to unroot his device [emoji14] but I decided to share it .
WHAT DO U NEED :-
file explorer ( I advise using root explorer ) .
A brain :3
INSTRUCTIONS :-
Set your file explorer on (R/O).
Go to system/app and search for super user.apk and delete it.
Then go to system/xbin and search for a file called "SU" and delete it.
THAT IS ALL :3
NOW I need to ask if anyone have Successfully updated his phone using "OTA" after applying my simple way to unroot ?

IMPORTANT notes
U can't re root your phone bu pushing "su" file again to system/xbin because you don't have root access to do this.
U can't remove xposed amendments on framework by doing this steps .

Reserved :3

u need to have an unlocked boot loader and further
kinguser doesn't allow you to get rw on root
try mounting rw on /system it using terminal n if it doesn't work try switching to super su
using super sume app
