Ok for some reason I removed an apk file in the system app folder (capture screen I think)
I didnt make a backup before removing but can I just copy over the file from the rom and paste it in as i dont want to reflash again as I have the rom/phone the way I want it
Thanks
Yes you can but after you do that re apply permissions and owner info.

Thanks for info but how do you do that?
Permissions and owner?
Use mount /system and then adb to device while in recovery and open shell. Then do a cd to whatever folder u want and do a chown root /../../../file. Ten using recovery fix permissions or do a chmod.

if you want to install it manually :hit the box which tells"mount r/o" and change it to "mount r/w"
the easy way its with the x8toolbox

Tru to use adb or terminal emulator.
Type this command in terminal emu.
su
chmod 644 /system/app/
It should work...

Hi I opened SuperSu and asked me to update binary. I did.
Question is, where does the updated binary files go in the system folder?
System/xbin or system/etc somewhere If I remember correctly

you mean the original binary is overwritten?
Hi guys, I tried to change the bootanimation on my fire tablet (2015), it wasn't located in the media folder but I did find a bootanimation file in system/bin, I backed this up first incase I needed to replace it. On replacing said backup I still don't get the default boot animation, just a blank screen until the lock screen shows up, I've even tried copying the file from another tablet. I'm sure its something to do with permissions but I'm not sure, hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can help.
Thanks

Restore the file to /system/bin and chmod 755
Sorry for being a dumbass, what's chmod 755 ?

Restore she file bootanimation to /system/bin/ folder. If you do it with a root file explorer change the permissions to 755. That's rwx-rx-rx.
If you do it using a shell with terminal for android or by adb, type:
1. su (grant SuperSU permissions in the tablet when it asks for it).
2. mount -o remount,rw /system
3. chmod 0755 /system/bin/bootanimation
4. Reboot
I'm using a root file explorer, permissions set as you say but it still isn't working, what should I set Owner and Group to ?
