Hello,
I have SM-N9005 variant and recently I updated to the latest android 4.4.2 leaked version with Odin, and then rooted with CF-Auto-Root.
After that, I lost the permission to write to external sdcard.
I searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49603814
I backed up /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and then I followed the instructions there.
After restart, a lot of app stopping messages showed and I had no access to file system or network anymore.
I used adb shell to restore the original platform.xml but it didn't helped in any way.
It seems that all mounts and networks are working, but none of the applications has permission to use any of them.
How do I resolve this, without wiping all my data?
Thank you!
You need to set the correct permissions on the .xml after you overwrite it back into the /system Off the top of my head I can't think what they are (just out of bed and got to work so still sleepy!)

I tried 644 and 777 but the problem persists.
rw-r-r which is 644 - read wrong
or chmod 666 -- forgive my lack of memory, it has been a long time since I have used chmod commands, few years since my glFTPD / site modding days.

i dont know if it helps in your situation but did you try the "fix permissions" from a custom recovery like twrp?
there are also scripts you can execute in a terminal, the knoxout script linked in my sig for example has a permission fixer included.

just type sh kn0x0ut.sh to get all commands.
if you dont get this working, you can do it from twrp (i think cwm too)if you have it.
tap on "advanced" and then on "fix permissions".

ok so i was trying to wipe the dalvik cache and not paying attention, and i accidently hit the fix permissions option, ever since then the contacts pictures in my sms's arnt showing. after a bit of googling i found a thread with a simlar problem, it seems CWM has put the wrong chmod (771) on the contacts folder. obviously the thread i read was for a diffrent device and the path to the contacts folder is diffrent from our device (/datadata/com.android.providers.contacts) so does anyone know the location of this folder on our devices so i can change the chmod?
thanks
Launch terminal emulator, and type:
su
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
Reboot.
Done.

thanks worked a treat i must be blind, thats the first folder i looked for using adb but i swear it wasnt there lol
so im stuck and can not figure this out. for some reason the permissions for the download folders on my sd card do not have any user permissions checked. i can not download anything at all but the market is fine as it is on the internal memory i suppose. the only reason i came across the user permissions issue was because i found another post where someone had the same problem with downloading and corrected the issue by using root explorer and manually adding user permissions to any folder he used for downloading. now... here is my problem... i used root explorer and when i try to add user permissions to these folders, the settings that changed do not stick. i check mark the 3 boxes and accept the changes but if i go back into that folders specific permissions, they are unchecked once again. how can i get it to not revert back or better yet how can i just resolve the issue in whole so i dont have to keep fixing folder permissions on the sd card for app that downloads? i dont see why the sd card of all places would start having these permission issues. the guys post i came across tried to tie this issue to the fix permissions option in rom manager saying it may have caused the problem but i didnt use rom manager to fix permissions until this problem started. i was on liberty 1.5 rom then reverted back to rooted stock where i still have the problem with all downloading except the market again. any help would be greatly appreciated!
58 views and not a single response? wow.... so very shocking to see that, i bet if i had post this in the dev forum i would have gotten 15+ responses just to say that im in the wrong section then anther 30 for people to argue back and fourth on how everyone is being rude or that this is the reason devs stay in irc...
Give this a try if you have the sdk and adb set up.
from a command prompt:
1) adb devices (make sure that your phone shows up)
2) adb shell
3) su (assuming you have rooted your phone)
4) cd /mnt/sdcard/download (or whatever the folder on your sdcard for downloads is called)
5) chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard/download (or whatever your download folder is called)
this should change the permissions on your sdcard to have full permissions.
thanks for your reply! im grateful, but wouldnt that only change the permissions for the "download" folder? which is mostly only a default location for apps such as the browser?
The way sysadmin-x is suggesting makes the permissions way different than they are by default, I wouldn't recommend doing it that way.
If you want to change permissions on the entire sd card to what they are by default, try running(as root)
Code:
chown -R system:sdcard_rw /mnt/sdcard && chmod -R 075 /mnt/sdcard
Edit: that code messes up the permissions on one folder, after running that you should also run
Code:
chown -R root:root /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure && chmod -R 000 /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure
Just do this: download a terminal emulator from the market. Open the app. Type su and press enter. Give it root access. Type chmod 777 /sdcard and press enter.
Please note you need root to do this
I'm kinda new to android
I've started to delete useless apps through Titanium Backup(acer staff,games etc) , and exidently deleted smth connected with honeycomb stock keyboard.
Now every time when i want to use stock keyboard, pops up a messege "The application Android keyboard (process com.google.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. plz try again".
Ive tryied to reset factory data but it wont helped. Is thera any solution for this problem? if there no, plz tell how to completely reset tablet) ive read "system Images " thread but i didn understand some things
here is my recover steps: (for a500 which is bricked)
for a500 is normal:
root it
put the system.img into a500
connect to the computer with adb and follow the codes:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
then reboot

You might very well have ruined your tablet.
I'm not a developer or coder so I can't make any sense of the code you posted but if a reset didn't fix it then you've certainly deleted something important. Hopefully someone has some ideas.
If not, then maybe you can return it? And next time, don't delete something unless you know what it is you're deleting.
ok ive recovered from image, but now wifi is not working , what should i do?
There are posts about having to change file permissions to fix wifi. Search this forum, there are a few.
edit - linked post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074449&highlight=wifi+permission
yeah ive read this but i dont know how to move that files to system folder on devide, wifi is down , so i cant download any file managing apps from market and theres no any file managers on stock Rom
If you've got the adb working, you can use the command mv to move the file.
I'm not sure of the exact path involved, but for example. the file is in /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved and needs to go into /sytem/lib/modules
mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules
That'd put it in the location you need. To change the permissions, you'd use the command chmod
chmod 655 /system/lib/modules/filetobemoved
The 655 is an octal(0-7) representation of the file's permissions. I'm not sure what permissions it needs, but you could try 655 as a start unless someone else knows for sure.
if you want, hit me up on msn, I can try to walk you through it: [email protected]

No clue. I really should start reading up on HC app development and at least familiarize myself with that environment.
I haven't rooted yet cause I'm e'scarded to.
ahh i cant replace that files , somehow installed astro manager(through docsttogo) but i cant remove/replace/rename that files in system/lib/modules it says i dont have permission to do this.
tryed in connectbot type "mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules"
got this "failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"

type mount and paste/retype the line that has /system in it. It might be mounted read only.
or try the cp command in place of mv
edit - also, the filetobemoved is just an example. I think one of the filenames is bcm4329.ko but I'm not sure. so /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko would be the full path

yeah thats i know)
Are you logged into the tablet using adb's shell? I've only used that once on a different tablet, but iirc the commands are standard Unix/Linux commands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you already logged in as superuser like this? You don't need to 'sudo' or 'su' to switch over do you?
I'm not familiar enough with this specific environment to figure out what might be keeping you from placing those files in that location. The command to check the partitions mount options is
mount
It should return a bunch of text, one line of which is gonna be the /system partition. If it's ro(read only) then you can't write to it and would need to remount it.
yeah it looks like it is "ro"
ive got /system ext4 ro
how to remount)
My knowledge of adb is limited as well. All I know is that I can connect to it, type: adb devices (in the command prompt) to make sure it sees my tab then 'adb push filename.extension /directory/structure' to force files... Conversly, I think adb pull filename.extension /directory/structure will grab files on the tab if you know what they are called and where they are located.

what was the /dev/block/mtdblock for /system?
there is a number after it...for example /dev/block/mtdblock1
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
would remount it read/write, provided that it is mtdblock1, change the number depending on what your device has.
yeah now /system have "rw", but it anyway refuses to copy using mv(failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"
) or astro manager

If cp won't put it there either, I'm out of ideas. Maybe ask in the other thread how they were able to copy/move the file and set the permissions?
I know it may not be really classy, but how about downloading an .apk That will let you mount the drive, to an sd card in a computer then transfer that to the Acer. (If it's an extreme case and nothing else will work..not condoning piracy, but don't know what would work...)
or is it possible to copy the system data from a Titanium backup and send it over so he can restore the missing files?
This following step I can't be responsible for it's safety. It looks safe to my eyes, but proceed having been forewarned. I did some research and you might be able to use dd to get the file there.
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/filname of=/system/lib/modules/filename
found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh

btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken
hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)
works great, thanks!
since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/
it should work... though u may need to verify permissions... chmod 777 is best bet

Hi friends,
I've been trying to do this but I really don't know how to use adb. I have Android SDK installed on my computer, and fastboot, flash...ect. But every time I type "adb remount" then I get the answer is 'adb' is not found (blah blah blah...).
Plus my phone can't boot to recovery. Anyone please tell me where can I find the instruction how to do it? I really want to have more space for my phone and move all installed apps to sd card (I also have my sd card partitioned with ext3 and fat32).
Many thanks in advance.

You will have to unlock your phone first and then, using adb, install a custom kernel by fx. DooMLoRD from the link in my signature.
I dont know how to use cmd, can I use Root Explorer?
Anyway to revert it back? Because few apps are missing after it's done.

Mee too unable to write on system
download terminal on google play
open terminal
write "su" command and give root permission
then you will see "#"
after that, write this command:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable
then you write this command:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
if you see "#" again, it worked
but if you see "mount: Operation not permitted" it has not, sorry

installing busybox
installing terminal

@serajr workaround was fo when rootkernel4.51 wasn't able to support Nougat kernel
however if you follow carefully, the lines mentioned
Code:
on post-fs
export LD_PRELOAD libNimsWrap.so:libdrmfix.so
and
Code:
write /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable 0
will switchoff SONYRIC and will fix DRM
the issue is NOT sony RIC,
Google in general with or without any security/rootaccess changed the system folder properties from default Writable in <+ 6.01 Android version to READABLE ONLY from android 7.xx
so when i followed the both method of altering file via notepad++ in the ramdisk folder using N kernel and rootkernel version4.5, I ended up having fully root system with READLY ONLY ACCESS to /system partition and i could only switchoff the apps but can't remove!

I also think the issue is not the RIC but something to do with the Nougat filesystem itself.
I can delete all the files and folders with any file managers I like but like after 1 sec they all reappear as nothing ever happened to them !!!
How strange is that ??
It shows file sizes when I delete them and take times to delete the folders with , say for 500MB
but they still reappear after just 1 refresh or 1 sec.
I cant figure it out at all for the sake of my sanity --- why the hell this is happening ????

I followed bungadudu-s steps and it worked i can change permissions and prove it with link i provided.
And chenges, yes they stick after reboot and i can rename files allso, but:
after reboot i have to repeat this steps if i want to change something elsewhere, old changes do stick aroind though
I deletet phone to 0 mb in twrp, flashed AU nougat .372 with flashtool, rebooted into twrp, flashed zip file provided in link, then flashed supersu in link and rebooted, no custom kernel used
Next i will try to copy modified thermal files now and see if they stick after reboot and if kernel aduitor uses them, see you later

I just clean install 372 and patched the kernel once again .................
tried the terminal commands ---- both commands were successful (without any errors )
but still the deleted apps and the edited files came back to normal as before
I did not manage to delete anny apps as my phone crashed before, i am glad you get commands to work.
oh, by the waj roomtoolbox is great as you can make shortcuts of the commands and then you klik it one after another and you get rid of the typing
example (first shortcut command depends of busybox install folder i think)
1.st shortcut "cd /su"
2.nd shortcut "su"
3.rd shortcut "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
4.th shortcut "mount -o rw,remount /system"
that way some people can do this quick and you dont need to remember commands, and you can experiment quicker.
sorry i dont know howto annything else for now

I did not manage to delete anny apps as my phone crashed before, i am glad you get commands to work.
oh, by the waj roomtoolbox is great as you can make shortcuts of the commands and then you klik it one after another and you get rid of the typing
example (first shortcut command depends of busybox install folder i think)
1.st shortcut "md /su"
2.nd shortcut "su"
3.rd shortcut "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
4.th shortcut "mount -o rw,remount /system"

I just managed to restart my phone successfully after changing the LCD density to 320 [I also use this value since always ]
But then I carefully just deleted 1 single app and booom--- boot loop
PS. i used root explorer to just click mount as R/W and then do anything to system partition --
Great you magaged it, and yes 320 seems so right.
And i asume there is no way to break bootloop?...other than reflashing?
I had trouble afterwards on downgrading to.253, 3x times error on start, even after reseting " power & + " and couple of full wipes in twrp.
I had to flash lineage from twrp and boot it up and only then flashtool succeeded pushing. 253.
This nougat will be fun i see
If there is something to try tell me i will flash it once more tonight, otherways i can do it on weekends
Oh i did not tell, i managed to copy modified thermal files with no error and then changed lcd density so i can not 100% tell which caused bootlop, since i did not reboot in between...

"/system/priv-app/textinput-chn-xxhdpi",
);
