[DUPLICATE] Help: Unable to change file permissions - Mate 8 General

@Moderators: Pls delete. I have recreated this in the appropriate forum over here.
I have an Unlocked device. I just flashed C185B190 on my NXT-L29. Attempting to fix the theme issue faced by others here.
As suggested by that thread, I tried Root Explorer (Paid) allowing Root access.
However when I try to change the permissions of a file or folder, I get the following error
"Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes."
Is this a case of my SuperSU not being the right one? I used SuperSU from over here.
If this is the issue, can someone share the link to the correct version of SuperSU.
If not, then what is the issue? I have been searching for over 3 hours to find a fix for this.

Walkthrough?

Can anyone give me a walkthrough on how to install readers hub on a US Sprint Tab? I just got the Tab and I have searched and searched the forums, but I cannot find a walkthrough, or a guide and I don't want to brick or mess up my tab. Here's what I have done so far;
1. I have downloaded the readers hub file and have extracted it. I tried to download the zinio file, but for some reason it wouldn't fully download saying the file is not supported or something of the sort. It was in .rar.
2. I installed Root explorer, apk installer, and Andro Zip.
3. I tried copying the extracted file to the system/apps folder, but it wont let me. Either the entire folder, or the apk files one by one. Can someone please tell me how to do this? I really want this app and I have been trying to find a guide for a couple of days now. Thanks.

OTA Update location A501

I have an A501 with 3.01 (Acer_A501_1.037.03_PA_ATT) The OTA update downloaded but I did not install it yet as I don't want to lose root. I can't find the update but I would like to back up the file if possible. I tried doing a file search but with one of the file manager apps but it got into a loop on a recursive symlink.
Some questions:
1. Where do I find the update (it is not in the cache directory)
2. Is there a good file explorer that can deal with recursion
- or do I have a corrupt file system?
Here's an example:
/sys/dev/block/7:0/bdi/subsystem/7:0/subsystem/7:0/subsystem/7:0/subsystem etc
Found It
Just in case you didnt find it, I used root explorer and it was in the cache folder long numbers.zip
There is a process to use it to update your tab.. I however forgot all of the steps..
i know you have to decrypt it. pull the update.zip out remove the boot loader.blob file.. This is not intended to be instructions just a guide as to what you can look for to find the information to do so .
Sorry i could not find the tread explaining this..

Need help with bootloop

I edited the platform.xml file to try to get read/write permission for the sd card, but I managed to mess up the platform.xml file. Now, the tablet bootloops a couple of times, then goes into TWRP. I'm trying to figure out how to fix or replace the platform.xml file. When I use the file manager in TWRP, I can't find the platform.xml file. It's supposed to be in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml but that location doesn't exit. Does anybody have a suggestion about how to get this fixed? Source files or just a clean platform.xml file would probably do the trick.
Any suggestions appreciated.
================================
edit: Never mind: I found the file and used TWRP file manager to fix it.
