sheild 3.0 with write permission - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
After update from Lollipop to Marshmallow i have problem with write permission from Kodi and Ttorrent.
the apps cant write into external usb drive.
in lollipop i fix this by mod the platform.xml file.
this method not working anymore in marshmellow.
anyone find solution to give permission to apps?
i have rooted console.
tnx

Did you try to use the sd fix app? Or manualy edit the platform.xml?

what edits did you make initially?

This method not work in Marshmallow.
the SdFix app edit the platform.xml. that different form Lollipop or Kitkat.
there is any way maybe give permission per app?

[910H] TitaniumBackup Can't write to SDCARD after upgrading to 5.1.1

Normally this would be fixed by editing platform.xml in /etc/permissions, but if I try to edit that file I get an error that says the entire filesystem is read-only. The app has already been granted root access, so I'm not sure if this is an issue with root, or perhaps there's something else I'm missing.
I followed the instructions in this thread to upgrade to 5.1.1, then I installed WanamLite from this thread.
Any pointers?
Have your re-root your device?
5.1.1 is a bit problematic to ROOT.
5.1.1 Stock ROM uses secure kernel that causing bootloop when you root it.
Use a permissive kernel to successfully root your device.
Edit:
Your first step (Stock ROM) is not rooted.
I suspected there could be an issue with the root, yeah.
I downloaded a root checker and it says it is rooted fine. For every other purpose it seems to work as expected (editing /etc/hosts to prevent ads works fine, for instance), just not for editing platform.xml.
I had a problem like this problem last week when I moved on to 5.1.1. I was getting a pop-up that said this folder is not writable, when trying to set my folder from the sd card.

Titanium backup not working on 6.0.1

I can't delete any system apps with it anymore, does anybody else have the same problem or even a fix for it?
Working fine on 6.01 for me, Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it?
I just updated to 6.0.1 myself, rooted using superSU 2.61. I too cannot delete system apps using titanium. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall the app (via playstore) but it didn't help.
I also tried to do the same via the root explorer option in ES file explorer and it didn't work. I tried to toggle the root explorer option in ES, but after I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again. Root checker does say that I have root, and other root apps e.g. adaway, xprivacy still work.
Any help and suggestion is most welcome!

hey guys, "system less root"
That would modify system... Just freeze the apps.

Some people still want to recover the space.
With systemless root you will need to modify the system in TWRP to get titanium and ES working correctly.
It's as simple as going into TWRP and mounting the system R/W.
You then need to open the terminal in the following places:
/system/bin and execute "touch su"
/system/xbin and execute "touch su"
This will create zero byte files for SuperSu to come along and swap/link to on boot so that ES and TiBu can ask for root and get it.
They will then operate as you expect.; with the caveat that you are on your own when you start tinkering and may break something.

Pretty sure you lose Android Pay with this method though, just FYI if you care about that.
But if you are running Xposed you broke it anyway. There is a way to get it working.
You will need to remove the empty su files you just created to be able to add cards.
You will need to use a Xposed module to hide modifications to the system so that the device check comes back clean.
It's a pain, but if you want Xposed, TiBu, ES and Android Pay, that is the price.

I usually use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
I'm not on 6.0.1 at the moment so I can't test if it works. Anyone wanna test it out and report back?

Doesn't work. Apps restore themselves.

Proper way to setup AdAway on stock rooted 6.0.1?

Hello, I'm on the latest 6.0.1 stock. I've used Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock my bootloader, root (SuperSU), and flash TWRP. I flashed Xposed using the Xposed installer. Now I'm looking to get AdAway up and running. I've done some searching and I see some conflicting reports about whether this needs to be done systemless, and how to get it working. Stuff I've heard is:
1. Just install the apk from XDA and install normally, update hosts, and you're good.
2. Install apk, use a program (like Titanium Backup) to make it a system app, update hosts, done.
3. Install apk, flash some sort of AdAway package in TWRP, update hosts, done.
4. Install apk, do some adb process to create a symlink of some sort, update hosts, done.
5. I haven't heard anyone really mention it, but in Preferences I see an option to "Enable systemless mode" which I haven't seen anyone really mention.
Can someone tell me which way I need to use, please?
>>> I also saw someone say that I need to use a file explorer after updating hosts to manually switch the permissions of the hosts file, in order to improve performance. Can anyone tell me if this is accurate, and if so how to do it?
Thanks!

Hello... Just allow SU permission, tic "enable systemless mode" in preferences if you use systemless Root. Tap on "disable" next to the red cross and let it download the new host. When prompted, reboot. Done...
Never seen anything about setting extra permissions... I don't read the XDA thread anyway and downloaded the app from here: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway
Cheers...

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 ?

Buildprop cannot write changes

Lineage 17 and last version Magisk installed.
Buildprop last version installed.
Buildprop shows SuperUser rights
I want the entry then
ro.product.system.brand
change from samsung to htc
Why? To get the Samsung Wear app working for Watch 3 ...
But I got an error.
Report from BuildProp:
Please ensure the app has root ...
But they are there and are displayed under properties ...
What am I doing wrong?
Problem solved with a workaround.
Finding: You don't need a BuildProp ...
After installing MagisK you have root rights.
As a file manager you take the TotalCommander and give it root rights.
You can then access the build.prop file in the system directory and change it with the integrated text editor.
Just stupid:
My SamsungWear app still does not start.
But this is another story...
