Editing permissions

I root my phone as a thread
In the site but when I use root Explorer to edit permissions of some
Folders ex: system it says Warning
Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems
(E. G. SD cars) do not allow permission changes
Also I use root Explorer as r-w

you rooted your phone as a thread?
what does that mean?

No some permissions are unable to change because it is for safe purposes because you might screw up your phone if you change the permissions or there is a duplicate file of it

ok... i think there is a newer one in development section, with superuser 3.1.3
but i don't know if that is the problem, anyway you can redo the whole process of rooting, starting with flashing stock or you can change the app
i use root explorer and it works nicely, never had a problem with it
another thing you can try is flashing a custom rom, maybe its a firmware problem

root explorer is a file manager, it's very simple so it's fast, has many menu n' it can access to system, edit or delete system, mount rw/ro, edit build.prop. I have been used it since I know about rooting, and I used it to access n' edit system.

Yes, this is right.
In short, you may find an application named 're-explorer' (root explore), usually you can use it to modify files that can not be accessed by normal file manager (maybe only SDCard...), it shows all files of cellphone (/etc, /system...) when device is rooted

Busybox for HTC 820

Here everyone working Busybox for HTC 820
Download it and Flash it through Custom Recovery. (TWRP or CWM)

will it run on rooted htc d820u lillipop device?

Now in marshmallow after rooting you can use Busybox from Play Store. SuperSU in version 2.65 is enabling file system overlay and you can modify /system/xbin dir.

Latest SuperSU uses system-less root and I don't think you can write to /system/xbin from MM (in 820).
Install busybox from recovery...

Read what I wrote earlier. SuperSU creates layer on /system/xbin path. You can write files in this path but changes really is saved in /su/xbin_bind. System path /system/xbin is not really modified. Read >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125

A poor man's overlay is used on /system/xbin. We are creating a copy of /system/xbin in /su/xbin_bind, adding a symlink to /su/bin/su there, then mounting the entire thing on top of the original /system/xbin. This is likely to fix some compatibility issues with some apps, without actually modifying /system

My friend, I suppose there is a misinterpretation of chainfire's concept. The idea is, transparently placing files in /system BUT without modifying the actual partition. Pls take a look once again...
"We are creating a copy of /system/xbin in /su/xbin_bind, adding a symlink to /su/bin/su there, then mounting the entire thing on top of the original /system/xbin"

That I was said I think that you misinterpretation my words. Word 'layer' makes big diffrence

newer/alternate versions (flashable) can be found here and here. they both work well for me.

I have rooted my htc 820pi kitkat. Now I want to install custom recovery. But, not finding any way. Can you please help me.

Hello dear, I am a HTC 820pi user running in Android 4.4.2. I have rooted my phone but couldn't install any custom recovery. Is it possible to install xposed framework in my rooted phone? Mind it, no custom recovery is installed in my phone!!!!

I'm rooted, trying to install Xposed Framework, how do I delete a file from /system/?

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.

Question Trying To Root Samsung A76 5G

This is my first time rooting my phone (tried rooting an o+ phone but couldn't unlock the bootloader) and I want to know how to my get phone's firmware. I tried using the Samsung Firmware Downloader but it won't accept my model and region.
I've tried using SuperSu to root but Root Checker says root access wasn't properly installed. What do I do now? Can I download a different firmware from a different site and is it safe? Does showing my pda code safe?
Edit: Forgot to mention I've already flashed TWRP.

Excuse me but what is your region and model number

Never mind, I manage to download the firmware and root my phone thanks to Samsung Downloader. I wasn't able to download it at first because I keep using XXU (the one I saw in *#1234#, samsung firmware) as my region but it was actually XTC (I checked Software information in the About Phone).

Ok

if twrp is installed
root the phone with magisk

My next problem is changing the /system/ into read/write. I can't access build.prop. Haven't tried using adbd insecure but I have a feeling it won't work with Android 13. I'm currently trying to find the flashable zip from this thread to convert my /system/ into read/write.

first root your device
then use mt manager to access build.prop file
i tested this in my sm-t585 with lineage os custom rom

Accessing the build.prop file was not the problem, I can access it with any app (build.prop file, root explorer, etc..). My problem is whatever change I did to the build.prop file will not be saved since I don't have read/write access.

as i said
use mt manager to save changes in build.prop

Since our system is F2FS you can't modify system it stays RO you can make a magisk module yourself to modify build prop also don't use supersu rooting is very easy just flash twrp then flash magisk. I'm making a custom rom which I'm hoping to release soon that's ext4 but I'm limited by time and the recent events from where I live so I can't give a ETA
