Having found the fix'es on this site for the GPS, I am having a great deal of trouble applying it.
Using ES File Explorer I can navigate to root/etc - but I if I try to add or delete it just tells me the file can not be deleted (or added/copied/renamed or whatever I try). So how do I overcome this?
Secondly, I have to change the file permissions.
e.g.
5.Set permissions as follows
gps.conf rw- r-- r--
gps_brcm_conf.xml rwx rwx --x
Where do I go to make these changes?
Thanks.
1. I think your system partition is mounted as read-only, so you have to mount it as read/write - then changes are allowed. In Es file explorer there is such option in settigs menu.
2. To change permission using Es, put your finger on file you want to change permisions and hold a while. When 'operations' menu appers, go to option 'properties' and there is window where you can change permissions

1. Cant find any options that do this.
2. doing this only gives me buttons for "check checksum" and "OK", but I suspect if once I can change things in root I may get different options.
If you have rooted phone and root permiossions for Ex file explorer granted, then:

in my case it looks like this... and work well
and:
Arr yes, I see it now. But its greyed out and wont let me activate it. When I try to enable root explorer I get this message:
Warning: When 'SU Request' dialog popup, please select 'always allow' or make system 'remember' your 'allow' choice. Do you want to try this feature anyway?
It then says "sorry, test failed, this feature cannot be run on your phone"
So looking up this new problem I installed some adb software to fix my SU Request problem. But it adb software only says it only works on rooted devices and wont let me do anything..... frustrating
EDIT: I have installed GingerBreak to root it. But its been trying to do so for over an hour...
You need to be your phone rooted.
The method changed in versions 20, the best option is bin/fls converter:

Yes, you need to root your device for this feature, if gingerbreak didn't work the first time is not going to work at all, i had to flash from smartflash tool in N00BY0815's guide for noobs =)

Thanks, but way to complex for me. All this stuff seems to be about changing ROMs, not just unrooting the phone, which is probably why I am having trouble grasping it.
ErnuB solution unfortunately has a youtube video which isn't in English and doesn't seem to apply to my particular version of phone which is V20c with Android 2.3.4
I will keep looking.....

Hi, Can someone please dump/backup the system.img from baltic P500 or have a offical update for baltics. Thanks
Just do a backup and upload it. Thanks
No one here from Baltic States?
Hey, just show me how to do it, and I will give you.
hi, please use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8917870&postcount=12
or if you have Thunderg installed, then just do a backup and upload these files.
thanks
Hmm, could you be more specific? I just bought this Optimus One like two days ago, and I'm feeling very newb (it's my first Android).
What do I have to do, to give you that system.img and what is that system.img file?
Hi, the system.img a backup from Android /system partition is a main part of the android. But this guide we just dump that /system partition, it's the easiest way.
I'll try to help you do that:
1. Is your phone rooted?
If you haven't done that, then use Z4Root(super easy app ) and you can get it from here: http://www.upload.ee/files/997919/z4root.1.3.0.apk.html
Download that file and copy to sd card and install.
Open that installed app and root your phone
If you need help with that, then there is little how to here: http://www.worldofnubcraft.com/285/rooting-a-lg-optimus-one-android-phone
2. OK, rooting done, now we need terminal app: You'll find that from Market. Just search "Android Terminal Emulator" it's from Jack Palevich and install that.
3. Now open the Terminal Emulator and enter these commands without "" and hit enter after command, these 3 command should be it:
"su" it asks for a root privileges and you allow that
"cd /system"
"tar zcvf /sdcard/system-dump.tar.gz *" and wait when it finishes. it takes some time. It's done when you see #, it takes couple of minutes max.
4. That file is now on your phone SD card and upload that system-dump.tar.gz file to somewhere and let me know
Are you sure about that?
I'm sorry, but it's not working. It gives me an error "tar not found". Any ideas?

By the way, what you can do with that file? What it contains? I'm just a newb, and I want to know everything about Android.
EDIT:
Is it possible to do that dump with Thunderg?
Go to market and install app called "BusyBox" and download / install BusyBox with this tool. After that it will work.
yes, i forgot busybox install that and give a new try
Ok guys, I got it. Before putting it live, I would like to know one thing. Does it contains any personal data, if so, what exactly? Sorry, for being so paranoid.
hi, it won't contain any of your personal data. Personal data is stored mostly on /Data partition and we didn't dump that. Thanks
Ok, so here you have it.
Optimus_One_Baltic_ROM_dump.zip - 89.2 Mb
And it's only contains branded ROM with no changes? That's great. What program do I need to restore my ROM to the branded one, if I'm going later to change it?
i think you should look to Thunderg... it's best way to make a full backup and restore after
this is my first attempt at a boot animation and has been tested on my own device (LG optimus one running Mik_OS 6.5.4 cm7 rom)
i take no liability in how it runs on your device
i am still trying to figure out how to add sound to the bootanimation as all methods i have seen online do not work on my device. if you would like the sound file that goes with this and know how to activate your boot sound pm me and i will send it too you
instructions
*device must be rooted*
**i use root explorer for file moving**
download vtwinboot.zip
extract files (bootanimation.zip, please read mefirst.txt) to an easy accesable folder on your computer
get the bootanimation.zip onto your sd card
copy it from sd card root to devices "/data/local" folder
Reboot
anyone feel free to add CONSTRUCTIVE info to this thread, PLEASE DO NOT RESELL this anywhere i do not mind distribution for FREE to anyone, if some one wants to pay me for my time via donation great but otherwise if i see this in the market requireing payment and i dont get none you can bet yer butt i wil lsend an army of smurfs to your home to sodmize your garden gnomes.

When I flash back to stock, of course the new updated market works. At one point I kept the stock and flashed a new kernal after updating to the current 2.2 and still the new market worked. As soon as I flash a custom ROM such as Serendipity, Fasty, Cognition, or another the market all of a sudden does not work. When I mean does not work, I only mean in the instance that it will not download large apps. I have read on flashable zips, adb shell commands, and other methods such as removing the battery but still none of this works. Is there any way to fix this problem without reverting to the old market??
It's cache size related bug, the problem here is that manufacturers put a cache partition on their devices that is smaller than googles maximum allowed app size for the market, 50MB (which was updated this year from 30mb). Reverting back to the old market will fix that issue and what I'd recommend you is to freeze MarketUpdater in TiBu (titanium backup app) so that it won't allow it to update itself back to the new market.
In case u want to use the new market, u'll have to apply the fix made by corgar - iXNyNe ,but it requires a kernel with init.d script support. If u wanna try it out here's the script, download and extract the file and then copy it in system/etc/init.d folder with a root explorer and modify the permissions of the script to 7-5-5. To do that go to system/etc/init.d folder ,mount r/w (if ur using root explorer) and long press on S95change_cache file, select permissions and make it look like in the pic below and then reboot ur phone in recovery and wipe cache ,dalvik cache and restart ur phone.

If all went well (u should have a cache.img file under dbdata of 54+ mb) u now can download all the apps from the new market, if it didn't then try with 7-7-7 permissions (like in the pic above only everything checked)
There are other methods , here's a post from Kyuta Syuko that sums it all up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17850944&postcount=9050
Have u tried stopping the market and clearing all data in the all apps menu?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
He can try that too, but that's useful when ALL downloads aren't starting/apps aren't updating. But the 30mb+ download issue ,insufficient space error, is cache related.
I can confirm (and others did as well) that the script works.
Thanks for the help but I did search like I posted. None of the options worked. But I did figure out a way around it. Just disable the VooDoo Lagfix and system lagfix. Download perfectly afterwards. Defintely beats reverting to older markets and the methods described. Although this worked for me, hopefully someone will find luck with the methods you all posted. But yeah I tried everything besides reverting to the market and enabling a script change. That was going to be my last option.
Good to hear u managed to get it work, btw could u pls check if Third Blade downloads without an error. Thx
Hello All,
I have a Nexus 6 (Hence the reason I'm posting in this thread) and I am not able to take screenshots after upgrading to Marshmallow 6.0. I would think to post in the thread of the current rom I'm running but I also full wiped and tried a different rom with the same result.
Every time I try and take a screen shot it says "Couldn't capture screenshot. - Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization." I would post a screenshot of what it's doing but... well... I think you get the point. I have plenty of storage space and I have dived into the various permissions settings on 6.0 but have yet to find out how to fix it.
Has anyone else had this problem across multiple roms and no luck with screenshots?
Currently running:
Chroma Oct-10-2015
Kernel:
3.10.40-Chroma-v1.01
Go to the screenshot directory and try to manually create any file there using your usual file manager/explorer.. If that fails,.it may be that the permissions are screwed which sometimes happens when you copy sdcard data back whilst in recovery.
If that sounds like your problem, there is a zip you can flash. Do NOT use "fix permissions" in recovery.
Flash this*zip*via recovery...

Why are you still in ES? The problem isn't permissions, it's ownership. Use my zip as was suggested by @danarama.
The permissions zip worked,
As to why I was "still in ES?" I like to have an understanding of how everything works. May not be the quickest way to fix a problem, but it allows process of elimination on my side to see what specifically the issue is.
I appreciate the .zip and suggestions everyone! Thanks!

@osm0sis, You are amazeballs!! Ran into this same inconvenience the last couple of days. Swyped a quick search, quite effortlessly arrrived here, where I can thank you for the fruits of your labour. And I do mean ALL of your work across XDA. I appreciate you much! ?
Take screenshot on your PC
Well, I think maybe you can try taking the screenshot of your Nexus 6 on computer. Just don't do it on the phone if it keeps failing. Android Manager can do this and save the picture on your PC.
is it working now?
You can try to rename pictures to pictures2 and reboot your phone, this was a quick solution on the oneplus one, if it works, but it's a dirty solution.
Rooting the LG Stylo 2 (Verizon) VS835
credits to hovatek for mtksu, diplomatic for mtksu and suboot, & topjohnwu for Magisk
Needed...
1. Init.d Support Script apk
2. mtk-su_r23.zip
3. Magisk-v18.1.zip
4. MagiskManager-v7.1.1 apk
5. suboot.zip
6. magisk-update-block.txt
DISCLAIMER: I'm not at fault if you f&#$ your phone up.
I'm using a computer to do this procedure, if you want to rework this to be done without a PC be my guest. It is possible without a PC. I just seen people needed root for this device, I happen to own the device, and figured i'd be nice and give back to the same community that taught me android development for years...
STEP 1:
Connect to PC in file transfer (MTP) mode. and make a new folder on the device root directory called init.d
STEP 2:
Extract the suboot.zip file and locate suboot.sh you need to place this file inside init.d
Now you need to create another folder named bin (inside the first folder you made)
STEP 3:
Extract mtk-su_r23.zip and inside the arm folder is a file called mtk-su this file needs to go into the bin folder
Extract Magisk-v18.1.zip and inside the arm folder place ONLY magiskinit inside the same bin folder
if you did this correctly your files should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*note* you DO NOT need to put the magisk-update-block.txt inside the init.d folder. That's just where i placed it. You only need the URL for the next step.
STEP 4:
Now from the phone install MagiskManager-v7.1.1.apk DO NOT LET IT UPDATE
Open MagiskManager and goto settings > update channel > custom
and paste this URL from the magisk-update-block.txt or from below
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/841e978604f989d04549013cd4dcc7e34aea5288/stable.json
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you'll see that Magisk Manager thinks it is already up to date.
STEP 5:
Install the init.d scripts support apk provided.
* tick/checkmark on "Run scripts at boot time"
* Set Execution Delay to "No Delay"
* For Selected Folder set it the init.d folder you made, and then click save at the top right.
It will say 2 script files in this folder if done correctly
** NOW scroll down and click "Run scripts now"
It's free version so watch an ad... after 2 ads it will grant you pro access for 24 hours.
** Again click "Run scripts now"
You'll see "Show last execution results" appear below the "Run scripts now".
Your results should look like this.
Use root checker to confirm...
Thats it. Enjoy.
