So I rooted by Galaxy S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.4. (please be specific, Im new to this). My device is ALREADY rooted and 100% confirmed, as I used root checker.
And now everytime I open gallery or do certain things, It tells me "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working."
I read on a thread you can Rename or replace the ContextService.apk file located under /system/priv-app to fix it, So where do I get a non corrupt copy? And how do I access the /system/priv-app area? Connect to a pc?
Also, wouldnt replacing with a non corrupt version be more important that renaming it and no longer working? Do we not need it?
update
So I downloaded Root Explorer app to find that "/system/priv-app area" and nothing. I can not find any "system" file or Priv-app area.
Thanks
You need to root your device. For file explorer try ES File Explorer for root browsing.
already rooted

I'm trying to insert a hosts file into the etc folder to replace the one currently in it, but it says I do not have permission to go through with the overwrite of the new file over the old one. I use SuperUser and can't seem to figure out how to grant ASTRO File Manager access. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Try using a different file explorer, one that is specifically a root file explorer.
I don't believe that ASTRO can access Anything requiring root permissions.

Yes root explorer will be the easiest way unless you know how to do it with adb.
Hello all. I have an S 4 Active by AT&T. It has been rooted by GeoHot's URL. I then installed SU and ES File Explorer. I'm trying to figure out a way to get Tethering to work. One of the suggestions was to pull a custom TetherProvisioning file from a guy from YouTube whose name escapes me at the moment. Then, change permissions on the file, go to settings, then turn it on, get the temp warning, then you're good.
The problem is that I'm unable to change permissions on the file. I've verified the phone is rooted, but not sure what step(s) I might be missing. I went into ES File Explorer's menu and changed the file system to rw instead of ro, but not getting very far. Tried using ES and SU and no joy.
Any/all help would be extremely appreciated.
You have to change the permissions on the specific apk I assume you installed. I have root explorer, not es file, and I just long press the apk and a menu comes up where I can change the permissions.
Hello,
i9500, Stock MJ8, rooted
I just updated to 4.3 MJ8 and want to get rid of some additional system apps.
I run into 2 problems:
1) If I use ES file explorer (Root enabled), I can access the files, but the delete operation fails because "read-only file system", although I can see that read and write is enabled for root. Permissions for the folder are "rwx r-x r-x", the file permissions are "rw- r-- r--". Actually, it shows me that I have read and write permissions on both folder and file but I have no idea how to change them, if necessary.
2) Instead, if I want to delete those system apps with Titanium Backup Pro, I (or better TitaniumBackup) simply does not find them. One example is the system app "InteractiveTutorial.apk". If i enable all filter criteria, TB just does not display, although I can see that it is in the /system/app- folder. This is valid for many other system apps. A support question to TB was not answered.
I checked the search within XDA, but I either get 2900 results or none. TB-website and EStrongs website also didnt help me.
Does anybody of you have a helping hand for me, please?
Kind regards

Thank you. But ES file explorer IS a root explorer
Did you acquire fully root access ? If not,try to flash an Adam kernel(or perseus,up to you).Or maybe you have to update your TB and Es Explorer. Hope it will help u

I know. But root explorer is better and easier when it comes to deleting system apps. I don't think u can delete system apps from es file explorer.

Used another explorer and succeeded. Strange thing: It worked with the old version of ES file explorer but not with the newer 3.x.
Thanks for your help, guys.

Which app are you using and did u check root permission in app?
Edit. Sry root Explorer just read it. Try es file Explorer and check root permission.
Root Explorer Pro is top one, permission is ok.
used NextApp SD fix, still same error
EDIT: found the reason, i was moving some songs, some of them has symbols, renamed those, and managed to move all!!
Stupid Google!(^o^)

I just restored my S7 Edge to as stock as possible using Odin and software from Sammobile. Now I can't use my Gear properly because of 'security reasons'. (Gear app works, but not SHealth)
I was planning on using SuperStock to bypass the tripped Knox, but afaik it's not working anymore. Is there another method? I don't really need SPay or stuff like that. Im willing to root or installing TWRP again if I have to, but not a custom ROM.
Follow the steps below to remove the S-Health block.
Download a root file explorer (such as Root Explorer, Root Browser or ES File Explorer).
Open the root file explorer and go to the /system folder.
Open the file named build.prop in text editor
In the build.prop file look for ro.config.tima=1
Change this line to ro.config.tima=0, simply changing the 1 to a 0
Reboor phone
Run the S-Health app

Can confirm it works on Oreo following these steps.
