[Q] CyanogenMod file manager not able to switch to root access. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

CyanogenMod's file manager seems to be stuck in safe mode, even though I have a rooted device and even have a modified kernel. I've not been able to figure out exactly what's happening. It says that only the accessible file systems are the storage volumes.
Anyone else have this problem, or does anyone know how to fix it?

The default for the CM file manager is for root access to be turned off. With the file manager open go into settings and allow root access. Once you exit settings you'll have full access.

That's the problem. It won't allow root access, even though the phone has root access. The menu for the access mode is disabled.

Have you tried clearing cache and Dalvik and fixing permissions? The other thing to try, if you haven't already, is downloading the latest nightly and performing a clean install rather than dirty flashing. Good luck.

If you accidentally refused root access the first time you have to go into the SU app and clear out the File manager permission and start over.

I've already tried installing the latest nightly version and ran a permission fix on it, but end up with the same result. I'll try clearing cache, dalvik, and then fixing again.

The file manager doesn't have any permissions in SuperSU and never asks for any since it's not in root access mode. :\

Yeah, still the same result. Clearing dalvik and cache didn't work.

Just grab es file explorer.

same problem.
tried to install supersu, reinstall busy box on bin and xbin, fix permissions, no luck, option still greyed out.
file manager always worked for me as root, both on cm-based ROMs and aosp.
this time it is not working with the combo saberMod and matrix on N4.
(i think this is a device-independent issue)
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------
After a lot of tentatives I solved it.
I am not 100% sure of which change made it though
I think it was by using ES root manager and resetting system as R/W.

Alternate fix
I also had the same issue and resolved it by tapping the menu button on the top left corner. when you do this, another menu button appears in the top right corner. Hit that, then settings, and choose root mode. Took me a while to figure out!!!

solved...
Installing busy box should resolve the issue...

Sorry for bumping, I have busybox and su installed, init.d support as well, but Cyanogen's File manager still cannot access root (option is grayed out). I'm on a stock Prestigio rom. It worked previously, but I reflashed firmware and now it doesn't work on this new firmware. Any thoughts?

Hi terirem and everybody,
I had this issue recently and I've managed to fix it. This is what You should do:
Short run:
Type in rooted phone terminal:
su
am start com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.ics
done
Long run:
1. Of course You need rooted phone, I've installed also BusyBox but I am not sure if it's necessary.
2. Install Terminal application
3. Install (if it's not installed yet) and run cyanogenmod file manager then minimize it by pressing home button (make sure You don't do anything else on Your phone to don't kill file manager process, it needs to be alive for 4th point)
4. I will make all commands bold for easier reading. run your terminal app and type: top -n 1 (this command will list all your running applications just once).
5. Find cyanogenmod in last "name" column, mine has name: com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.ics (if you can't find it you can try the one I had for 7th step, should probably work)
6. Type: su You will be asked to give superuser permissions to terminal, agree. Now instead of $ an # should appear, this means all commands from now on have root privilage.
7. Now we will finally rerun filemanager again with superuser permissions, type: am start com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.ics (if you had different name of filemanager just write the one you got after am start)
8. Go to cyanogenmod filemanager general settings and change access mode to root (it should be finally available, if not make sure again You typed am start with root permissions in terminal, if still doesn't work then forget about point 9).
9. Give me a beer, or actually simple thanks is enough, I need to stop drinking.

My SuperSU is kept auto-granting and system storage is kept read-written, also I cleared the every caches.
The CM file manager is still not shown a root mode to me.
I have J-rummy’s ROM toolbox as an alternative root explorer, but sometimes is less readable than CM file manager.
There is a guy forgetting to let the system storage read-written to remind him.

I did this with CM file manager - make sure you have root access not just safe mode in general settings. When you open filemanger it is granted super U access and then you can edit and save without issues

CM Dev Settings
In Dev options is Root access set to Apps and ADB?

For anyone else still having this problem, just erase the File Manager data (Settings | Apps | File Manager | Storage | Clear Data) with SU turned on in developer options. Then press the hamburger icon in the top-right of the app, press the settings icon on the bottom, click on General settings and you will see Access Mode

I am on CM13, now with SuperSU installed since I couldn't get the root option there to work well with some other apps for some reason.
File Manager now doesn't show any option for 'safe mode' or otherwise at all in settings. I cleared the data. I started it as in the earlier post. Nothing.
In the Developer options root is allowed, although only for ADB (the apps option has gone).

same here for me.
I'm working on a fix for now.
EDIT
If you're on a systemless SuperSU, use a terminal or ADB shell to input the following lines:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -s /su/bin/su /system/xbin/su

[Q] Question

Hey guys, I'm new to the rooting and xda community. I just rooted my mt4g a few days ago and am trying to figure out how to remove the tmobile "my account" application. I have seen a thread on xda where someone claimed to have removed it. I'm currently on ice glacier (latest version) i have titanium and super manager and busy box and all that jazz but im still not able to get it removed. Even after trying to force remove with titanium. if anyone could point me to the proper thread that has detailed instructions on how to remove that dastardly app or a video walkthrough that would be great. thanks for your help guys.

easiest way in your case would be to open Super Manager > give it SU access via the settings menu > file explorer > then go do /system/app and look for it and delete it.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Manage Apps, scroll to the app, select, and hit uninstall. If the uninstall button is greyed out, download a root file manager (such as Root Explorer, for example), and manually delete the APK from /data.
ive tried over and over through titanium and super manager, it just will not remove. i have also tried to find and remove the selfhelp.apk which seems to be what its listed under but all with no luck. still keeps popping up using my data and being annoying. thanks for your input guys.

The only other thing I can think of is file permissions. You need a file manager that allows you to change the permissions to the appropriate type to allow you to remove a file. You can do that in Root Manager (change it form R/O to R/W).

are you making sure to change the settings to SU access, and changing the ~/system folders to R/W.

to do this you want to go into the adb to terminal and type
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblk3/block /system
be care full this will make the entire phone r/w, deleting the wrong thing will FUBAR the phone.
then you'll want to type
Code:
ls /system/app
and see if it's in there, if not
Code:
ls /data/app
when you find it you'll want to type, depending on data or system you'll need to change it accordingly.
Code:
rm /______/app/<app name>
when you are done deleting what you want change everything back to -ro
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system
More information can be found here.
Haha yes, you can easily FUBAR the phone. FYI, Root Explorer can change file permissions with the click of a button, without having to do it manually through terminal.
I feel like I'm promoting RE a little too much, but it's what I've used for a long time with great success, so naturally it's what I suggest. neidlinger's method will accomplish the same thing, with the advantage of learning what's going on "behind the scenes."

Cannot for the life of me get system r/w permissions

I've been running cm7 nightlies and now stable 7.0 for some time now. I have the new radio, ladios' kernel, and the sdcard read fix flashed.
I installed super manager and successfully deleted some of the stock cm7 media off my phone last week. Today, I came across the new GPS.conf files and wanted to try them.
Super manager couldn't switch the system to r/w despite saying "ok"
When I try to delete or write in the system with EStrongs file explorer, ghost commander, or android mate, they all give strange errors. The deleted files disappear but reappear after reboot. If I try to paste a file in system/etc I only get an error.
Superuser is successfully allowing permissions. I have the latest busybox. I have r/w enabled in each file manager.
I even tried an adb push test which first said "system is r/o only". The next try was "successful" but didn't do anything.
I'm still new with adb so I probably did something wrong. I typed in that r/w command, mount now shows: /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (rw,relatime)
I can't figure out what changed and what I need to do to get r/w permissions. My only theory is that i had uninstalled and reinstalled super manager earlier and that somehow messed with my permissions.
You cannot permanently modify the system partition while the phone is booted into Android. The only way is to use adb while the phone is in recovery mode. Any changes you make while the phone is booted will be lost after a reboot.
Go check on those media files you thought you deleted. I bet you'll find they are still there.
Yes that worked. Thank you.
I thought I had read somewhere that you had to be booted to adb push.
I also thought that root managers advertising r/w capability would make permanent changes.
Next question:
Can I add and remove files from the cm7 zip before flashing it? Do I have to rezip it in any special or can windows 7 manage it fine?
EDIT: Ok I guess i need to sign it... lets see...

It really is as simple as adding or removing a few files from the zip file if you want to modify it.

SU not found

hi, 2months ago I root the device with cm-10.2.1-maguro all working as expected, till I liked to use voice recorder after recording stopped the app close, realize that has to do with root.
I couldnt find how to enable the app through superuser, so start to check for alternatives so I landed here
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
no hope also with that, uninstalled. The problem :
through adb + eclipse I can browse the device folders when using adb root - OK
on device superuser still @ settings - OK
when on android terminal - and run the command su writes su not found!
then I red @ superSU GplayURL
Superuser access management runs through a so called "su binary". There can be only one of these at a time.

When an app requests SU, you should be prompted. If you've set a default choice, you should be able to change that from the SU app. You should also be able to change previous choices from there as well.
basically the problem is :
1-voice recorder recording but no output
2-on built-in browser in any page has 'browse' to choose a file - the open dialog never opens! (aka facebook.com upload photo or imgur.com)

so if our system is still ro, all we have to do is mount rw every time? I was hoping that we would only need to mount it like one time, because im basically doing the same thing I was doing before.

I noticed that too. I also tried to see if root explorer would mount rw after I used es to mount rw, and it turns out that u still have to mount system separately in both file managers. Bummer because I was looking for a way to always have my system mounted as rw between both file managers.

Unable to modify /system folder

I've looked all over and I'm unable to find a solution or even what's stopping me from modifying the /system folder in the root directory. I can remove files from that folder and all of it's subfolders but I'm unable to add any files into that directory. I am rooted on the T-mobile OnePlus 6t that has been converted to the international ROM. I know my root works cause I can perform other root functions. I also cannot modify the /system folder from TWRP either which is really strange to me. Also, when TWRP prompts me to install the app, it just reboots recovery since it's trying to install it as a system app which I can't do for this odd reason I have yet to find out. This issue all of a sudden showed up after an OTA update and re-rooting after. I have tried reinstalling TWRP, Magisk and Oxygen OS itself but the issue persists. I have also tried running "reboot disemmcwp" as root in a terminal window AND using adb but I guess that command no longer works. Any suggestions welcome as this is the last place I can find an answer to this issue.
Edit: found out I'm unable to uninstall system apps for some reason. So the issue isn't space related.

I've thought about that before. I use root explorer and can see there's more space than needed for the files I want to insert. Is there some buffer space needed in there and how much?

Well, if you go to magisk and select core only mode then reboot you will be able to modify system

I was actually able to find the issue. Space was the issue. I guess there's a space buffer needed from what a file explorer says is left and what's actually left. I uninstalled a couple system apps I disable anyway and was able to insert files/apps into system again.
I made space easy I have the new OnePlus camera apk 125mb the old one is 67mb
