You need to rename a script in the /etc folder, i think it's called install-recovery.sh

Rename install-recovery.sh to something else. It's in /system/etc
Need a rooted phone for that and a read/write capable file explorer, eg SuperManager. After renaming flash the recovery one last time.

system app

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

[Resolved] [MARSHMALLOW] [6.0.1] Issue writing to External Hard Disk Drive [1TB]

The issue I'm facing is whenever I try to copy or paste a file/folder to my external HDD, I get an error "Unable to create the directory in...".
But, I'm able to copy content from my HDD to my Phone(Android device running Marshmallow). I'm also able to read every file. Not sure why moving files from phone to external HDD is causing a problem.
I'm attaching some screenshots for you to understand better.
Please help!

1, have you granted root? You need it to write to SD card in most cases, try using a different file explorer, "Root Explorer" works a treat on MM Roms running supersu systemless root. 2, have you tried doing the same in recovery? Assuming you have a custom recovery.

+1 on Root Explorer, it should achieve that without issues.

Yes, I have root access(SuperSU 2.76) and TWRP 3.0.2-0 as well. I've granted root access and as far as I remember, I also had this problem with ES File Explorer. I haven't tried it on recovery though, will catch on it if Root Explorer doesn't work.

Will try Root Explorer and report back.
Thanks for your help guys!

Wow! Root Explorer is one fine thing. I got it working. Actually it was originally mounted as r/o and no other file manager has that option to change it to r/w, but Root Explorer. I can finally move files seamlessly.
Conclusion- Root Explorer is the best for such stuff.

[q] push file to root/data/data folder without root

Hi! Someone know how to push a file in /data/data/ without root?
I want to copy my savegame from my old phone to my new phone. With ADB push can't make this, because ADB want privilege (grant root permission)
Thanks in advance! [emoji2]

Using a custom recovery can help. TWRP - file manager - copy file to data folders.. this is possible way, if you have a twrp recovery. Otherwise you must build one or ask somebody to make it. You also can try to use the helium app from clockworkmod, which is able to backup and rewrite apps and data to new phone.

Read-only folder

I'm not exactly a noob, but i cannot find a way to create a read-only folder on android 5.1.1 (stock rooted).
I've used Root explorer and also SDmaid for that , but both give error...
Any other way?

You need to change the sys partition from R/O to R/W so you can edit file permissions
