Having some permissions issues with my ADB and Terminal

Hello everyone. I have been working with android for a 6 months now and still cannot figure out what im doing wrong to get my permissions to work correctly. I have installed ADB and successfully rooted my MT3G Slide. I have been trying lately to figure out why i cannot manually configure A2SD. I have gone through both ADB Shell and Terminal under Su to try to mkdir /system/apps but it will give me a problem like my system is not allowing me to rewrite or its copy protected. I have tried to remount and it claims its successful. Another symptom i experience is not being able functionally use the rom manager or restart in clockwork recovery after i have flashed a rom. I always have to wipe the devices before i can loop hack back into clockwork mode. I have tried to fix permissions and restart in recovery through rom manager and it just brings up a question mark ontop of an image of a phone. I have been trying most recently to move a file through terminal to another name and replace the old with a new of the same name. It says the directory is not empty when i try to modify this file. So Anyone think they might know a solutions to these issues or hopefully all of them in one simple problem i cant seem to figure out.

download & install 'root explorer' for your phone from the android market (or your Pc, and put it on your phone) , grant it superuser permissions from superuser on your phone, open it up, and there's an option to make the phones memory R/W. (Its R/O as default which may be why your having permission issues)
Saying that Im yet to figure out adb's permissions fully..
Be careful with root explorer though, its a very intrusive programme which can screw up everything

Root explorer cost money... is there another program that allows me the same option. I have been using astro file manager, any way to do it on that one?

[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

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

How to install sqlite3(SQL database) in any android.

I searched over internet but didn't find any of the working method for installing sqlite3, So, i thought to write a tutorial on this.
There are some apps which require sqlite3 to work as for example the famous Xpose module "WhatsappX". So, here we go.
Requirements:- Root access, Xpose framework installed, Titanium Backup, any root explore (Es file explore recommended).
Step1:- Download and install Titanium Backup From Google play.
Step2:- Launch Titanium Backup and then exit the app.
Step3:- Launch Es file explorer and go to "device/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/" Now, copy "sqlite3". And go to "device/system/xbin/" Now, Paste "Sqlite3" here.
Step4:- set file permission to "-rwxr-xr-x".
Step5:- just reboot your device. Your sqlite3 is installed now.
*I know there are some apps which can install sqlite3 but for me they don't work at all. I tried this method on Micromax Unite 3, running on lollipop 5.0 and it is working. Hit the thank button if you find this useful.

Thanks buddy, will try and hope it works for me.

Simple install and works perfect. Cherrs.

What's the problem?

Hello! Thanks for your guide! But I have a question: what is the number for "-rwxr-xr-x" permission? Thanks

I have solved! Thank you in every way

IT WORKED!!!!
I tried everything to install sqlite3 with and without different apps and it didn't work. I followed your your steps and got sqlite3 working on my phone in less than an 30 minutes. Thanks.

Works just perfect. Thank you for this tip.
