search for "root checker" in the market, if its not rooted properly then root with super1click root or Bin4ry's flash tool.
I don't think that its a root issue though because if you can navigate to your build.prop then you would need root to get there. Make sure that you select the "Open in text editor" option instead of "View as text". The former allows editing while the latter only allows viewing.
or in adb shell type su if command exists and gives you popup with option "Allow" / "Denied" on your phone it is rooted ok.
I am having xperia go jb locked bootloader.i have rooted jb by following @percy_g2 method of prerooted jb.I am having xplore and ROM Toolbox Pro installed and having superuser installed.When i try to copy any .apk to system/app,it shows rom toolbox pro has been granted superuser permisions 2-3 times then it says operation failed.

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.

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
As describe above, i rooted the phone, Lenovo A606 with kingoroot and root checker identified it as rooted phone but i couldnt change the system to RW. I used root explorer but failed. One weird thing is, after a reboot the root will gone. Please help
Anyone? helpppppp
check if full root not temporary root then try to reboot your phone
Hi all,
I knew that there are temp root for this phones (ZTE Z828) but these root did not allow system access. However, if I am able to access system via ( dump system by EDL and mount and edit anything in there and unmount then flash back to the phone. It worked), how do I make the phone rooted. I tried to put superuser.apk app in the app folder but the phone denied to install the app when boot.
Please advise.
Thanks
