Ever since I updated to the latest firmware (magisk rooted) my Galaxy Tab S8+ can no longer use Smart View or second screen. It worked fine on the previous firmware version even when rooted.
I've seen a suggestion to add "wlan.wfd.hdcp = disable" to the build.prop file, but I can't seem to edit build.prop even using a root explorer, or not even by using the twrp file manager. I've tried using various buildprop editors, granted them root access yet they still don't seem to be able to change anything in the file.
Is there any other possible fix?
The open source Material Files file manager has been repeatedly and highly recommended in my phone's XDA section for true root file management. https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles
It's also available through F-Droid, and the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.zhanghai.android.files
A lot of root file manager either haven't been updated (or aren't allowed to be - not sure what the story is) to really do full root file management.
Hope this helps. Note, I've installed this app but haven't really done anything with it yet.
Thanks for suggestion, but even using Material Files I still get the same error. I granted file access permission and root access to the app, I clicked Remount as RW but it still gives me an error saying read-only file system.

That is probably because root permissions have been lost. When you root the device and then flash new update it will usually revoke the root access and you have to re-root again with updated root method. Reason is becuase update affects the root access by reseting it. Since if root method has edited any system files to gain root access then update writes over those files which is why root access becomes revoked.
So my suggestion is to re-root your device and try editing same file again and I bet issue you got will be gone.

I get the exact same thing when I tried to save the modified boot.prop with Material Files, so you're not alone.

I definitely have root access, I granted root permissions to Material Files, but I got the same result when trying to save an edited boot.prop.
@emko7
Edit 1: I just remembered that there is a Magisk Module out there folks have used on Android 12 (at least on the Pixel 6 Pro, which I have) that "emulates" having full root access. i.e. to my understanding, you don't actually do anything permanant to the files that require root, but it effectively acts as if you did. If you edit the boot.prop, technically it doesn't save to the actual original location, but your changed version is remembered and substituted when you boot/reboot.
I haven't re-located what the name of the Magisk Module is - I know it's been mentioned many times in the Pixel 6 Pro section, but I'm not sure if I can come up with the correct search terms to find the posts.
*Some* Android FIle Managers, like my preferred one X-Plore File Manager, makes it look like saving an edited boot.prop worked, but after a reboot I saw that the boot.prop edit clearly wasn't permanent. It's possible and probable that if I just re-loaded the edited boot.prop, I would've seen that my changes weren't saved, either.
Edit 2: After a tiny bit of research, I think it's possible this is the reason full root access doesn't give us r/w access to everywhere is the information presented in this Twitter thread (read the additional comments by Magisk's creator):

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda
I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

How the heck do you do this? I have Droid Explorer installed but not BusyBox. I have Windows 7 and can't figure out how to get BusyBox on my phone. I have rooted the phone but that's about it. in Droid Explorer when I connect to my phone it shows nothing!
Long time forum fan, first post! I'm a little scared from that registration video, but here we go: After rooting my phone, I did a complete backup with Titanium Backup before deleting all kinds of Verizon and Motorola bloat. Now my Droid 3 is experiencing the hardware keyboard repeating space thing described in many other threads. One of the solutions I read about was to try the new OTA update, but I also read that this requires all the bloatware to be back where it was when I got the phone. So, I went in to Titanium Backup and managed to restore a few of the files, but most of the time, when I try to restore a file, I get the little spiny animation forever. I've tried a couple different Busybox versions, direct access and indirect access. Nothing seems to help. In the future I plan to explore other backup solutions, but for now, I'm stuck with all these backups I can't restore. So, now I guess I need to know a way to manually restore the backed up files. Any ideas?
Try Pete's Root Tools and there is a restore system app option
So that app will use the titanium backups? Happen to have a link for that app?
Its not an app, you connect your D3 to the computer and run the batch script. I cant post links cuz I'm on my phone but i believe Pete posted it in a thread called "unroot" i'll edit my post if i can find it.

Edit- I get a message saying the files must be saved in a /restore/ folder but I can't figure out why my windows XP (32 bit) wont let me use a "/" to create a file??

/ indicates file path. You dont need to type it into the file name. Just place the restore folder inside of the main folder, and extract all the apk's to it.

The directory you run the tool from to restore the system apps should look like this:
Also, if you are on XP, make sure you are using the file for XP (found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/) and not the one for Vista/7 that I linked to in my original post.
Thanks for the reply.
The Win 7/Vista version installed and launches on my XP machine and gives me the restore option pictured in your post.
The XP version you linked me to does not include the restore function (as far as I can tell).
Can I try using the 7/Vista file or will it bork my phone.
Also, will this wipe my phone?
TIA
Please, cant download DROID3_original_system_app.zip anyone has it??

Instructions for pulling an OTA update.zip:
Do NOT install the update! Do these first!
Be rooted. We got plenty of methods thanks to djrbliss.
Download the Root Explorer app, or the ES File Manager app. (Instructions are for Root Explorer.)
Open Root Explorer and go to the ~/cache/ directory, which resides on the root directory of the phone '~/'
Hit the 'Mount R/W' in the corner, if successful will then say 'Mount R/O'
Copy the update file .zip from the ~/cache/ to your sdcard, external to be safe.
Copy over the update file .zip from the sdcard(s) you chose to your computer and upload it. http://mega.co.nz/ is a good way to distribute large files for free.
You will want to use Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper before updating. --- Instructions for this are: Backup Root, Temp Unroot, Restore Root, Temp Unroot, Restore Root. ---
Send me or post a link here to the update and exactly what System Version you were on, and where the update takes you to.
The community will thank you for your help!
OR Use my new free app on the Google Play Store: OTA Snatcher
Download and install from the Play Store.
When your OTA is fully downloaded, go to OTA Snatcher and hit the "Snatch OTA" button.
Depending on how big the filesize of the OTA update.zip is, this can take anywhere from a few seconds to multiple minutes to copy over. It's safe to wait 5 minutes (you can lock your phone and do something else) while it copies.
Note: The app will NOT tell you when the copying is complete.
The OTA will be in your default storage's /OTA/ folder that OTA Snatcher has created. You can upload it and share it with everyone or keep it for yourself you selfish jerk!
A note for the naming of update.zips:
They will always be named after the version that you are currently on, not the one you are going to. For example, when moving from Version 123-A to Version 124-B the zip would be named:
Blur_Version.123.A.XT912.Verizon.en.US and would NOT be named after where you are going to.
Went to system update and pulled the OTA, on the razr JB leak for D4. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d0h0syzunzla0q1/Blur_Version.98.72.8.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip

Isn't that the version number for the JB Razr? 30 or so megs, what is that? The update for the Christmas leak or something different?

You don't want to install that OTA, even if you are running the RAZR port. It removes many of the changes that Kfazz did and stops it working.
Now if someone can pull the JB OTA, that would be appreciated
I used the app to get OTA 98.72.18.en.US that my Droid 4 downloaded for me this morning. It is uploaded here:

permanently, no. stupid, yes. you wont ever boot up without a build.prop btw. if you have it backed up on your phone, just use a root file explorer and copy/paste it back(you might need to set your SElinux to be permissive). if you reboot, youre going to have to reflash your rom. if youre stock, youll be flashing a factory image.

You can access the partition with selected file managers, e, g, Total Commander.

You can access the partition with selected file managers, e, g, Total Commander.

Well here is your solution buddy, you updated to 11 yet? I don't know if it's available to 10 since this is new info to me.
You can try Solid Explorer too. It is excellent and you can have access to android data and obb.
Thx Ill look at those options!

Did you figure out how to transfer over the data with total manager apk? Mine won't allow a copy and paste

From the the site homepage it says it only supports accessing /data partition from android 11, so i think it shoul only work on android 11 as i said.
Have you tried this? It doesn't need root.
sounds like Total Commander have decided to copy LCG's X-plore with the two panel windows.
all decent file browsers have been able to access storage/0/emulated/Android/data the whole time and micro SD equivalent too.
it's only with android 11 that google's new security layer has removed that access for SDcards. their new security has also made the file system 6 times slower in copying or moving files etc. hopefully OEMs will pressure google to fix it.

I believe you misunderstood the topic of the thread. We're discussing the possibility of accessing /data partition without root permission on android 11, even with scoped storage security feature. You can read about it the the link in the 3rd post above.
I never heard about google forbidding access to sdcard from apps, can you elaborate?

I think I understood OK, changes to the file system include no longer accessing Android/Data. that's not the data partition as far as I'm concerned, it's still accessible from internal storage but not from external.
