I forgot the security pattern I set on Nubia Red Magic 3's App Lock
I managed to clear the locked apps by deleting the file locked_app.list from data/system/ directory.
But this doesnt removed the pattern on the App Lock so
I experimented a bit, the Android menu on my Nubia Red Magic 3 doesn't show up to my phone anymore. :crying::crying:
this happened after I reboot the phone after deleting locksettings.db from data/system/ directory.
I have a copy of locksettings.db from my Downloads folder.
Is there a way to copy again to data/system directory?
Solved using TWRP Recovery Format Data.
This would be a great reference in the future.

hi;
i was trin to change my boot animation and sound.then i was realize i cant rename delete or overwrite files under system\customize\resource\
but strange thing is if i install boot animations from zip files over TWRP it can be installed.
i was tried also on twrp recovery mode with file manager but more strange thing is i cant see any file under system folder. there is only bin folder nothing more. also tried on est file manager file preferences but there no any permission option. ah also i was tried fix permissions option on twrp options. nothings changed..,
any suggests?
thnx
You need to mount system as r/w. Use ES File explorer
thnx .
when i was tried first it wasnt ask to me what to do..i was uncheck and recheck so i got the mount option.
regards
I have at&t note 3 with AzureROM on slot 1. I tried to install S note application since it was removed from the ROM. I put the Snote3.apk file in sd card then opened it using file manage. The installation started but "Application not installed" showed up. I have tried put the apk file in phone storage instead of sd card before installed but I still got the same error.
FYI. I got the apk file from AzureROM bloatware folder.
Are there other methods I can use to install the app?
Try pushing it to the system app folder and rebooting. It should should be there after rebooting. If not open system app folder and install it from there.

I tried that but the phone does not let me put a file in system folder. It showed error with "Could not write file" message.
You have to change the system folder permission to r/w (read/write) because it's r/o (read/only). Push the app to the folder. Then set the app properties to rw-r-r. Followed by resetting the system folder to r/o. Reboot

Hey fellas,
I need to copy a file into folder /data/preload/ .
I cannot find this folder using the root explorer. Where is it?
I know it exists (or should exist) since system gives me an error message while applying OTA updates saying that a file is missing in that folder.
I have got the file now and want to put it back.
my phone:
HTC One M7,
rooted
stock recovery
s-on
bootloader unlocked/tampered

Could it be in the system partition?
How can I access system partition?
In TWRP recovery I see an option named "mount" when I select it only the "data" in ticked.
Should I tick "system" as well, and it will mount the system partition? If so, then i can probably use the file browser of TWRP, find the data/preload folder and copy the missing file back in place. right?
download root browser, there is a free edition from play store as soon as you open it you will see the data folder on the list, its not in system, that's a separate folder.
you will need to copy the preload folder and its contents to that folder and change the permissions of the folder and contents.
you need to be rooted to use it.

Thanks Seanie.
So by default that folder does not exist? That's why I couldn't find it then!
I created the folder via root browser. What should be the permission for folder/apk file ?
now the preload folder permissions are rwsrwsrwt and apk file permissions are rw-rw----
does it make sense or should I change permission of filder and file both to 777 or 666 ?

It does initially exist, but if you've been flashing custom rom's and recoveries, then when you clear data it gets deleted, set permissions to rw-r-r- for the apk's etc and rwxr-xr-x for the folder
Hey All,
Having an weird issue with TWRP folder on my today gotten Moto X. I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted etc. But when I try to make a new folder in the TWRP folder via my PC, I get this error, see attached.
Also when look at the TWRP folder inside ES File Explorer, I get the message "/sdcard/TWRP is not found". I tried fixing permission in TWRP aswell and deleted the folder and let TWRP create a new one, still same issue.
When I boot into TWRP and go advance > file explorer, I can just open the folder without any problem.
Also when I ADB shell into my sdcard and try to 'cd TWRP/' it says permission denied. Which makes me think there's a permission issue, but ls -l shows no wrong permissions at all.
Anyone know what this issue could be?
Thanks!
Hi... I'm having the same issue of urs... i think it is a twrp bug... hopefully they fix it soon...
If u want a temporary fix do the following as i did each time u do a backup thru twrp recovery:
download (root explorer) from play store and open it (its a paid app btw)
navigate to /data/media/0/
long press on twrp folder
click on (change owner)
change both Owner and Group from (0 - root) to (1023 - media_rw)
check on (Also set on all sub-folders and files)
hit OK
Now u will be able to access and make changes thru Windows....
(Thank me if it worked) :cyclops:

So I accidentally deleted the Downloads folder on my internal storage while browsing the files on my PC and I immediately recreated it but its not working. I mean whenever anything is downloaded by the native Downloads manager app it shows up inside the app but not in the folder. I tried using both Download and Downloads as folder name but its still not working. My device has root access but I'm not able to find a Download(s) folder anywhere in the root directories either. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Did you check the permissions of the folder you recreated? Here's a snapshot (assuming I can figure this stupid app) of the permissions for the download folder on my htc m8. I imagine the permissions should be the same across devices.
Thanks for the response. I don't use ES File manager, only Solid Explorer for normal activities and Root Explorer for root related stuff etc. but if I'm not mistaken the dialogue in your screenshot represents global permissions, not just the permissions granted to the Download folder. Since the Download folder is located in the sdcard directory I believe the r/w permissions are automatically granted to the system. The issue probably lies somewhere else. The system download manager keeps storing downloaded files somewhere else, just not in the Download folder I created, and I've go no idea where or how to reassign it.
