I have an Archos 43 that I downgraded the firmware to 2.1.8 to get the device rooted just for adding arabic support to it , but now I'm having a problem not being able to modify the permission of the files even though the device is rooted.
so please tell me what should I do to get full root permission .
thanks a lot in advance
What method did you use for root? If it was Archangel, then you don't have full root.
Try this method:

How did you obtain root?
Did you use ArcAngel?
Then you will not be able to do that as all the Systemfiles are in a readonly squashfs.
Why don't you use UrukDroid?
It's the only possibility for you to do what you want to do.
Thanks for replying, yes I did root it using ArcAngel , but is UrukDroid already rooted .

If you're using normal android os, the urukdroid root has no effect at you
and if you've root some files are still locked, you've to run the chmod command

THIS is perfect place for you then to start off
is it safe to flash my phone even though i delete some system files and my rom is gingerbread 2.3.4 is it ok if i flash it to gingerbread 2.3.4 also?
Yes, you can.
You will lose data though. Messages, contacts and apps. Backup those if you need to.

You can go into recovery mode and then Unroot. If this doesn't work, flash the Stock ROM you want to install.

nice to see you here friends..,
If you are comfortable with adb , then do the following to unroot your phone.
1. Boot into recovery.
2. Mount system in RW mode.
3. Remove superuser apk from /system/app
4. Remove su binary /system/bin/ and /system/xbin
This method is a crude one because the busybox will still be there. But busybox is good thing to be there. You can play with some native linux command without any harm as su is not there.
Hi everybody. I learned so much from this forum (and also from others) in one year and tried to share my knowledge to those who try to learn like me.
Now i would like to share one of my experiences. i dont know if someone wrote about this, yet i could not find anywhere in this forum. When we share a "port" for example "s4 keyboard for s3", we say that we need root access in order to use this port. But when i think, if this apk files replace themselves with the original ones and rom thinks that they are the originals, why should we need root access? Of course we need recovery to flash them but do we absolutely need root? And i flashed 3 separate ports (keyboard, launcher and callrecord) into a fresh installed 4.3 MK6 stock rom without root and they worked... and still do... (scripts have to delete odex files automatically)
Installing a recovery will increase the binary counter and since your binary is up why not rooting right? But those who dont want to root their phone but still want to use the visuality, can install a recovery and flash the ports without rooting... Tested and proven...
You need root access for applications/ports that will need to be installed in system directories (that only the superuser can alter). Some directories/partitions are read-only, so you have to mount the them as writable too. It all depends on the application.

If editing apps from rom then yes. But if you are flashing them through recovery you dont need root access for read and write permitions. Script also does that itself. Thats what im talking about

My XZU kitkat 4.4.4 .108 have rooted. Stock rom. I want to set Ext SDcard for Titanium Backup. But I can't access permission (etc/permissions/platform.xml) to change to writeable. I have tried Root Browser, Root Explorer, Solid Explorer and ES File Explorer. All no luck.
It pop up error ***operation failed message: cannot write to filesystem. Mount as read/write has failed***
But I have success to my rooted TabPro 8.4 SMT-325. Kitkat 4.4.2 with Solid Explorer or Root Explorer.
Another problem is I can't install busybox.
Any help or input
Thanks
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by

Did you install nut's dual recovery by chance? It has busybox included and if you try to install another busybox it screws up root. For SD card try this app, if you are still rooted and have superuser installed properly it should work.

What's nut's dual recovery?
I did try SDFix already, it doesn't work to me.
The purpose I need access permission is modify platform.xml for Titanium backup and mixer_paths.xml for volume boost headphone.
I heard about a custom rom can access permission mostly, is it true? If yes, I might try flash to custom rom.

If SD card fix doesn't work and gives you an error message. You don't have true root access.
I know because I faced this issue about a month ago, I was able to get superuser access just not edit files I know because I tried to edit the platform as well, so re-root your phone and install the dual recovery (optional?) if you make it that far, run kk fix it should work.
The volume boost is meh, you're better with viper4android

The root checker show **device have rooted**
I used Easyroot. Does your meaning use easyroot to re-root the phone again? Or get another tool? Any rooting tool suggestion.
Should I unroot from supersu before re-root?
Yes I know that.. Like I said I had the same issue, you may have root access but you don't have true root, so re-root your phone. It will fix the issue.
So again re root your phone.
And for me I did not uproot I just ran the root exploit and overwrited the old su
Great! I'll try to root again tonight.
BTW, is your device is XZU and root by Easyroot.
Thanks
Nah I have galaxy s2 but posting in xzu section. Yes I have Xperia Z ultra. And yes I did the easy Xperia root, plus I have dual recovery
IT WORK !
As you said re-root device again. Access permission available and Titanium backup to extsd.
Thanks all you guys input.
Zomg don't forget to thank me, hit the thanks button. *sarcasm
Before you read this trough : This is not a question about how to root my phone or add root access to an app. This is about how I can add root acess to my phone. I mean like ading root acess to a phone where no root is yet released. If anyone knows a github repo with the commits of adding root to the phone, please tell me. Thanks!

I currently don't look to compile for a specific device but I want it as basic knowledge when it comes to the case of a new device that has no root yet.

"How I can add root access to my phone" = root your phone? There's not much difference between the two sentences. Unless you mean adding the root path to the device without installing SuperSU or any other SU app?

Look. You have a phone that doesn't have root access. So what I would do is go to xda, find a root IMG to flash on my phone and then flash it. That would give me root access to the phone. The thing is, if there is no flashable IMG I would develop one by myself. Now I can't find any tutorials or sources of how to build a image like that.

1. Such methods would depend on your phone, not all phones go through .img file flash.
2. Usually I would associate .img files as kernel. So I assume you want to flash a custom kernel?
3. If you indeed want to flash a custom kernel, you still need root on the ROM before the custom kernel can have root access.

There are several steps to go about to developing a rooting procedure for a device when none has been released yet. The first key step would be to identify whether the device has a looked bootloader. If it does then you will need to resort to an exploit to gain root access rather then flashing a pre-rooted boot.img for example unless you can figure you a way of bypassing the img signature check which in many cases using an exploit is easier. A good basic place to start looking for exploits is here. You will then have to do research on how to exploit the security flaw which involves knowledge of Assembly, C, and Linux. If the bootloader is unlocked you can attempt to make a superboot or autoroot type boot.img which I would suggest taking an existing .img of those types and disasembling them to learn how they were created. Let me know if you still have any questions.
