After restoring my device from my Nandroid backup in TWRP 2.5.0.0 I couldn't delete files off my sdcard from Windows thru the MTP. Nor can I delete it from ES File Explorer. So I proceeded to
chmod -R 777 /data/media/
chmod -R 777 /sdcard/
chmod -R 777 /mnt/sdcard/
chmod -R 777 /storage/sdcard0/
after which point it every worked like normal. I'll have to see if anymore issues come up. Just thought I'd share.
Was all a lie! I had to push files and folders thru adb in order to delete them because they only show up when you are browsing thru MTP. Worst of all sometimes the files don't even show up, but you can't copy files or a folder over until you actually make the folder thru adb.

I bought a new sdcard, i plan on partitioning it and using it as my main card (it's class 6)
My problem is the permissions in the app's folders.
My chmod comands do not seem to be working even when i am doing it on the sdcard
i am doing
chmod 755 *.* in /sdcard/sd/app once copied it will be in the /system/sd/app
i know i need to run the mount -o remount, rw* comand once i am trying it on /system
Anyone know the proper command to restoring permissions for apps after i
cp -R /sdcard/sd /system/sd
??
thank you
What ROM are you on this seems completely not needed...Just move them there and run chmod 755 <the appropriate system/sd place>
can someone give me a tutorial on how to update the user.conf..i have looked at the compcache threads and linux swap but im not getting it...i want to be able to update it through terminal emulator and do i have to do nething to the userinit.sh if i change the user.conf...because numerous configs i have done for swappiness and linux swap...etc, have shown no difference..can somone give me a walkthrough...thanks so much..sry if i have a lot of questions just want to make myself more knowledgeable so i can hopefully return the favor to somone else one day
i do not know if you can edit it through the terminal sorry. i do know that you do not have to change the userinit.sh if you change user.conf, also i do know that you can open it up with PSPad (thats what i use) on a computer edit it there and push it back to phone and reboot. sorry i couldn't answer all of your questions
well i have had no problems editing it...its just putting it back nd making sure it works..now i have no problem using adb if u know of a tutorial to use it on mac...or know how to use it on mac
when you put it back on the phone did you make sure to chmod 755 it after you put it back on the phone and reboot?
then to text it with adb just type adb shell sh /system/sd/userinit.sh -s and see if the new values you put in are reflected in the output of that command

this applies to tools and location of user.conf on cyanogen's roms ->
-transfer it to the root of your sdcard from your pc or mac to the g1.
-unmount sdcard from dropdown on the g1
-open up terminal on the g1
type and hit enter afterwards: cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/sd
type and hit enter afterwards: dos2unix /system/sd/user.conf
type and hit enter afterwards: chmod 664 /system/sd/user.conf
type and hit enter afterwards: exit
reboot
see this is my problem..it does not find it in system/sd...it is in system/bin so am i suppsed to copy it back to /system/bin or system/sd
and can someon explain what the difference is between chmod 664 and chmod 755 nd why i should do them

i think chmod 755 gives it read/write permissions. do not know about 664. try putting it in system/sd with adb then chmod 755 it and see if that works

775 = rwx-rwx-rx. conf file does not need executable in u-g nor x in o groups.
664 = rw-rw-r
if it is in /system/bin do this:
open up terminal
dos2unix /sdcard/user.conf
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin
chmod 664 /system/bin/user.conf
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
reboot
a friend wanted myfaves but I know there is any easier way than to type mount -o rw,remount and the rest I've tried rwsystem and rosystem what am I not doing?
It says rwsystem is not found
you typing it into adb or the terminal?
RWSystem and ROSystem are custom scripts some devs are placing in their /system/bin. Find a build that has them (I think JAC's do) and then push them to the phone with
Code:
adb remount
adb push RWSystem /system/bin
adb push ROSystem /system/bin
adb shell
#cd system/bin
#chmod 0755 RWSystem
#chmod 0755 ROSystem
#exit
oh ok thanks for the help I appreciate it.
when I type it in it says permission denied. I used both ADB and terminal.

you must type "su" first and choose always allow when promted to grant root access.
I did. and I followed all the instructions here it still doesn't work.
do I need to reboot afterwards?

you did make sure to chmod 755 them didnt' you
yep I used adb shell chmod 755.
and then used SU File Browser to chmod 755
I used Qemu local.prop method to set /system/fonts folder as 766 and bricked my KFHD with the following steps:
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo ‘ro.kernel.qemu=1′ > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push myfont.ttf /system/fonts
adb shell
cd /system/fonts
mv DroidSans.ttf DroidSans.ttf.bak
ln -s myfont.ttf DroidSans.ttf
chmod -R 06766 /system/fonts
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now my KFHD does gets stucked in
"Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot"
Is that because I changed the permission? Or is it because I did not reboot first after changing permission, and than delete local.prop? Which step was wrong? I am worried that doing that again would cause the same problem. I assume that the only way to recover from this would be to get into fastboot mode with factory cable. But I still want to keep fonts folder as writable.
When you edit files like this, with a device like a KFHD, odds are they deal with the framework-res.apk And if you mess with files that deal with framework-res.apk, your bound to get boot loop. But anyways, can you get adb? If not, fast boot might be your best friend. Cables are available that can boot to it, and if you see the system img. Files in the android development section, you can use fasboot to flash those. It's not the easiest solution, but it is something.
Sent from my Fire HD with root!
Is it still possible to root my original droid (running 2.2.3)? Baseband version C_.1.43.1P , kernel 2.6.32.9
I checked many threads but most of the download links of apk or other app are dead.
I really need to root this phone, if somebody has instructions and files, I would really appreciate it.
So I found this working root method from some other forum, sharing in case anyone needs it, I doubt it though
Go to settings on your phone
then applications
then development
check the box for usb debugging[/Hide]
2.) Extract rageagainstthecage.zip to c:\droidroot
3.) Connect your phone to the computer via usb cable
4.) on the computer open the command prompt. (In the start menu under accessories)
5.) cd to your adb tools directory. For most the command would look like this cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
6.) adb devices (This should list a device as a long number under list of devices. If it doesnt something is wrong.)
7.) adb push c:\droidroot\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
8.) adb shell
9.) cd /data/local/tmp
10.) chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
11.) ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (This can take a minutes just let it go until you are returned to your adb tools folder)
12.) adb devices
13.) adb shell (you should now see a # instead of a $)
14.) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
15.) exit
16.) adb push c:\droidroot\Superuser.apk /system/app
17.) adb push c:\droidroot\su /system/bin
18.) adb push c:\droidroot\busybox /system/bin
19.) adb shell
20.) chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
21.) chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
22.) mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled Note if you are on a build earlier than froyo this step will fail. That is fine and expected.
23.) mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
24.) rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
25.) exit
