Need help with J5 Pro [2017] Permissions - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

So i installed twrp with odin (i have some problems with twrp too but idk how i installed the magisk to be honest) , as i said i installed magisk manager. Now here comes the problems :
1. Can't install Magisk Modules (think is because of system rw permissions)
2. Can't use Freedom app , it shows an error Please allow system write permissions or something like that.
Please help me guys..
I remember that on my old phone on the TWRP menu i had a fix permissions button , but here i don't have it.
The errors in the TWRP when i try to install a zip file (ex: magisk , supersu) are something like that:
E: ERROR GRAB (or RELEASE or RETRY) : (and 2 numbers ex: ) 500 ,1000
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Thanks for the comprehensive guide. For some reason step 11) Getting my D6653 into recovery is not working (Also tried ADB reboot recovery)
Any ideas?
EDIT: After updating BusyBox, and then re-installing the Recovery, it re-started and is now stuck in a bootloop..
EDIT2: The bootloop is very likely related to this (from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606):
"@vaisakh7 found a busybox updater which seems to be compatible with XZDualRecovery: Busybox On Rails, which installs a version of busybox created by stericson, which leads me to believe his Busybox installer should also install a version which works together with XZDualRecovery.
Either case, be careful with updating busybox as there still is a possibility it will break your ability to enter recovery or even break full root, which means you might not be able to recover from the broken situation. Your best bet is the installer version, using that to break the lock on the system partition and reinstall the correct busybox."
Recommended to NOT update BusyBox
Busybox can never be installed through this process always failed and there is no other option left once busybox installation failed except to reinstall the whole firmware please add the steps to guide for busybox installation too
Does this method null the waranty?

Getting SuperSU and Xposed running on 2nd user

This must be on here somewhere but I can't find any answers. I added a second user to my 6P and I'd like to get GB and a few other modules running. Xposed is installed correctly and I have granted multi-user access to SuperSU on the parent/admin user. When I attempt to install an Xposed module it fails. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks a lot.
Let me ask a question this way.. Apparently I need to "install" SuperSU on both users. It says to "install SuperSU in the /system folder".
I already have SuperSU installed and running on the primary user acct but I see nothing of interest in the /system folder that looks like it could be copied over for example.
Does anyone know how to install SuoerSU into the /system folder?

Solved the problem of writing to external storage on marshmallow and nougat ( and lol

I had a problem writing to external storage (Micro SD card) on madOS (android 7.1.2)
After an install I just could not write to the SD card , even after root ...
And this is a problem that affects android from marshmallow onwards (android 5.1 and later)
So here is how I solved the problem...
1) I downloaded on my computer and then transfered to the SD card the following files:
1-- a recovery image of madOS (android 7.1.2) I got from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16842#downloads
2-- the pico package of opengapps from here
http://opengapps.org/
(choose your platform , your android version and the pico variant)
3-- magisk manager (an apk ) and the magisk zip from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
magisk roots like SuperSU , but its the new form of root called systemless root and to pokemo go , safetyNet etc , it appears like your phone is not root and you can use them - but you can do much more with it than the other root applications !!
2) I inserted the SD card into the phone (a jiayu s3 ) and booted into recovery (by pressing the vol up + power button untill the phone switches on and then releasing the power button but keep holding the vol up
I already have twrp 3.1.1-0 installed (madOS requires its own version of twrp otherwise you can't install it. You can download their twrp from here - scroll down on the page to find the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/jiayu-s3/development/rom-unofficial-aosp-n-jiayu-s3-t3451923 )
3) I wiped everything except system and external storage (I wanted a clean install !!)
4) I installed madOS
5) Without doing a wipe I intalled opengapps then wiped cache and delvicahe and rebooted into system
6) I did a few settings on the phone then shutdown the phone and booted into recovery again
7) I installed magisk zip file , wiped cache and delvic cache , and rebooted into the system
8) Now I was rooted (by magisk) - a systemless root , which means there is nothing writen to /system and so it looks like the phone is not rooted to applications that check root !!
9) I installed magisk manager apk , loaded the app , saw that I was properly rooted (be connected to the internet), clicked the downloads button , and clicked to install "App Systemizer". After the install you get a "AppSystemizer" app
I then installed the apps I want from google play store
What App Systemizer does is make a user installed app behave like it was a system app.
SYSTEM APPS CAN WRITE TO EXTERNAL STORAGE SD CARD !!! because they are trusted by the system !!
So I opened AppSystemizer and choose ES file explorer to make it a system app ( when you save you have to reboot phone) , and after that I can use ES file explorer on SD card without problems !!
I did the same to some other applications that I wanted to be able to write to the SD card ...
AND THE GOOD THING IS YOU DONT HAVE TO GRANT ROOT TO ANY APPLICATION !!!
I was always afraid to grant root to ES file explorer because while its the best or one of the best file managers , it has many ads , requires too many permissions when it installs , writes some files to /system when you give it root and I beleive its a chineese spy software .
So now I can now use ES file explorer as I want and without root and so without fear !!!
10) Another good app to install is adaway - it stops all those adds from applications , including ES file explorer
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/org.adaway
After this you will have a smooth android experience
I beleive this is applicable to any marshmallow and Nougat rom (stock or custom)

could not remount /system

Guys, i am on stock os, 7.0 , recently flashed magisk for systemless root and when i tried to use app mover to move some apps to system, i get error as could not remount/system. Tried supersu root as well but same result, im a newbie here. please help Used both Vegito and Ex kernel too. but i get the error everytime. But root checker shows i have root.
You could try the Magisk module named "App Systemizer". It can convert user apps to system apps, but systemlessly.

Thanks, Is there a way to edit system files , like modifying host file ? It seems i have been using system root all these days. Is it still available ?

Magisk 22101 (22.+) not detected by Manager, but SU still working on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F TouchWiz,

- Target image: /dev/block/
- Device platform: armeabi-v7a
- Installing: 22.0 (22000)
! Unable to check signature
! Installation failed
this is the message inside of magisk manager when i try to install with recommended way. but i have root after flashing zip not showing anything else in the app not magisk hide not modules etc
ant solution?
I do not quite understand what you want, but I think I understand some of it. You want to install a new version of magic and can not do it from the magic app, it was properly understood. If it was I can help. Try using another file explorer if you need to patch for it, or download the zip file and install it from recovery.
i have tried all when flashing the latest magisk the manager doesnt recognize the version but i have root rights nor appears su hide modules etc in the manager
Im running a 6.0 Custom ROM and noticed Magisk isnt working well but does give me SU access. I you need to run an earler version of Magisk (16?) in order to run it smoothly.
