[Q] Can not change permissions using Root Explorer

I have Root Explorer installed and I am trying to rename a file in the directory system\media and copy a new .zip file to the location. When I have executed the process it changes back to original file.
I have checked the Mount R/W button at the top of Root Explorer as well.
I have checked to make sure the superuser is in the whitelist for Root Explorer.
I also can not add .apk files to the apps folder as well.
What can I do to resolve this.
TIA.

TWRP recovery copy issue

Friends....I have two TWRP backup on my HTC ONE. I want to transfer them on my PC so hat i can save 4 GB of disk space but for some reason i cannot copy the main file which is around 1.5 gb and is named 'system.ext4.win'. I tried copy/cut both but of no use. When i copy and paste in same location it gives error that cannot copy 'system.ext4.win'. Plz help :crying::crying:. Just for added info I can copy all other things like Titanium backup

Older versions of TWRP incorrectly set the permissions. Use root explorer or ES File Explorer to set the permissions properly.

[Q] MTP Application 1.0 APK

Hey guys! So I successfully managed to root my Galaxy S Advance running stock 4.1.2 Jellybean (Italian firmware I9070XXLQL) and installed SuperSU and TitaniumBackup. I was uninstalling unnecessary bloatware using a couple of lists made by other forum members. One of the apps I deleted was called MTP Application 1.0 (I think?) because it is only required for connecting to a computer via Kies and I don't use that anymore (Android File Transfer all the way!) But now my phone does not get recognised by AFT at all. Unfortunately I'm a klutz and forgot to make a backup of the application before deleting so now it cannot be recovered. Can someone possibly provide me with the APK? It is a system application and I have granted root access to ES File Explorer. Just need the application itself. Thanks!
Edit: I've already searched online and can't find the APK anywhere on the Internet.

Here you go. I attached the file. I use xxlql deodexed and pulled this from the preload partition. I think you must put this apk in the app folder on preload partition and give it permissions. Good Luck.

Hey thanks! I downloaded the APK, moved it to the appropriate folder and changed the permissions. Now my phone is getting recognised by AFT. Thanks once again for the speedy response!

Hi. Can you give instructions on how to install the APK? Like which folder to put it in and how to give permission?
Thanks so much!

You must be rooted. Once you are done rooting your device you must install root explorer or es file explorer. Then grant root permissions to that app. Now move the apk file to preload/app folder in root of the device. Then choose properties of the apk file and set permissions. You can youtube the procedure. Good luck.

Can't Change File Permissions...

I've tried ES File Explorer, File Explorer (with Root Add-on), and Root Browser and none of them allow me to change permissions. Root Browser brings up the permissions menu, but no matter where the file is located, whether it's System/App or the Internal SD Card or Download or wherever, it continually tells me Operation Failed. I'm simply trying to set 644 permissions for a custom Boot Animation so I can place it in system/media, but I can't even copy it there. Before you ask, I am rooted, with the bootloader unlocked, and running Chroma with the Franco Kernel, and I have run Root Checker to verify I am fully rooted. I have even gone into SuperSU to verify those applications have Super User access, and I have even gone as far as to force user "Root" and "System" for them to see if that would allow it. No joy. What can I do to fix this?

i bet you havent tried root explorer. and when dropping a bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ using root explorer, you dont even have to change permissions.

I just bought it and gave it a try and I think I may have answered my question through your recommendation. None of the other explorers were mounted as R/W. I don't know how to mount them that way either. Just the Root Explorer you said to try, because it made an easy access button for me to press ... Regardless, thank you very much!

Yes why I stick with Root Explorer. It doesn't have every single bell and whistle but it does what needs to get done.
