Hello,
I can't delete some files on my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE [t0lte]]) running CyanogenMod 10.1 using RootExplorer (or similar file manager).
So I tried with adb (in CM10.1, ClockworkMod & TeamWin recovery), but received error messages:
Code:
/data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails # rm 1375815201990.jpg
rm: can't remove '1375815201990.jpg': Operation not permitted
/data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails # chmod 777 1375815201990.jpg

/data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnails # chown root:root 1375815201990.jpg
chown: 1375815201990.jpg: Operation not permitted
I think there is something wrong with the permissions, here are the directory listings:

BTW: /data/media/0 is the internal sd-card of my device.
How can I delete theses files?
all files gone, have to rebuild my phone

I didn't find a smart way (no "xattr", or "chflags", ... on android available) to clean the files off from my disk, so I rebuild my phone:
copied all files from /data/media/0/ to my linux,
wiped all local partitions (ecxept my external sdcard) in TWRP (but the bad files are still there)
found another menu in TWRP and formated the /data/... (now the unusable files & folders are gone. I think the /data-wipe in TWRP uses "rm -fR *" on /data.)
installed the latest CM10.1 + gapps,
booted the phone,
google restored my apps,
TitaniumBackup restored the appdata,
and finally I copied the files from my linux back to /data/media/0/
So after a day of extreme backup-/restore-/delete-/copy-ing I'm back on the track

Hi guys
I have a S3 (running CM10) and I'm facing a problem with the internal SDCard: I cant' delete two folders I created.
What I did is:
- I create two folders using FileZilla connnecting through SHH with SSHDroid
- I want to remove them and have problems from FileZilla interface
- If I connect from SSH I can remove all the stuff in /storage/sdcard0 except the two folders. I'm root and it says permission denied. i.e I want to make a ls
Code:
ls folder/
ls: can't open 'folder/': Permission denied
- Additional to this strange behaviour, I notice that I can rename the folder without problems, even copy to /data or another rw fylesystem but I can't cut the folder or delete it from the internal sdcard
With the rename option I rename the folders to .garbage and .trash but I can't delete them either
- I tried creating two folders with same name in my PC and upload them to the phone to overwrite the original ones and get Permission problems again
- Create a file inside the folders fails too
Code:
# touch .garbage/algo
touch: .garbage/algo: Permission denied
From CMW I go to the option Mounts & storage->Format sdcard and I have this output:
Code:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done.
Expected since there is no a specific mount point for the internal SDCard. I tried hard reset (*2767*3855#) without results, I think the code is Samsung dependent and has no effect on CM10
It beign shared memory and no particular mount point complicates everything, I can't run fdisk i.e and in that case I don't even know which format do I have to give to the 'partition' because /storage/sdcard0 appears to be mounted with fuse. I only see something that gets my atention when I look for mounted filesystems
Code:
/dev/fuse on /storage/sdcard0 type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
/storage/sdcard0/ is mounted as user and group especific ID in theory it can't affect me because I'm root, but it does
If you need additional info just let me know
Thanks in advance
Guys, I finally figure out how to delete the folders
I discover by executing 'ps' that 1023 ID belongs to media_rw user with wich the /data/media folder is mounted. I think login as media_rw should do the trick but what I did in order to delete the folders was:
1. Login as root (unnecesary if connected via SSH with SSHDroid)
Code:
su
2. Mount /system with write permissions
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
3. Run sdcard command again (as root)
Code:
/system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023
4. Go to /data/media and delete the unwanted folders (let's say they are called .trash y .garbage)
Code:
rm -rf .trash .garbage
5. Mount /system with read only permissions again (for security reasons)
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
6. Check that the folders doesn't exists
Code:
ls -lsa /data/media/
the output must be something like this (no .trash or .garbage folders in here )
Code:
# ls -lsa /data/media/
total 443361

Hi all,
I'm just hacking at my rk3188 box, and trying to get XBMC to read my ext4 external hard drive.
However when the hard drive is mounted, XBMC only sees an empty directory!
Also, in the terminal, "su'ing" as an app user, the directory appears empty also.
This worked perfectly with android 4.2, 4.4 seems be more troublesome.
Code:

No ideas?
I've create a directory /storage/sdcard2 and mounted it as follows:
mkdir sdcard2
chmod 771 /storage/sdcard2
chgrp 1015 /storage/sdcard2
So it has looks like:
drwxrwx--x 3 root sdcard_rw 60 Feb 12 20:17 sdcard2
Now the external storage looks like:
drwxrwx--x 19 root sdcard_rw 32768 Dec 31 1969 DE52-F3E6
So they match exactly, but for some reason while most apps (non-root) can see and view /storage/DE52-F3E6 nothing but root apps can see /storage/sdcard2 (if I su* others can see it in a console but not access it). In Android (CM12) 5.1, this worked fine, in (CM13) 6.0.1 I'm going crazy. I thought it might be namespace separation in Super SU, but that does not appear to be the case it is as if there is another block that only allows root to see non-standard directories (or files) since creating a file in /storage has the exact same issue.
How do I fix this as it makes using 6.0.1 useless as I can not manually mount my secondary partition on the SD Sard and get access to the data on it (except as root).
su - u_10034
127|[email protected]:/storage # su - u0_a334
[email protected]:/storage $ ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 140 Feb 12 20:06 .

drwxrwx--x 3 root sdcard_rw 60 Feb 12 20:17 sdcard2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Aug 2 2015 self
[email protected]:/storage $
At a minimum I want to at be able to access the sdcard2 directory same as I can access DE52-F3E6 the permissions match, but the SE (ls -n) setting differ, but I can not find what setting I need to use there to allow the same access as DE52-F3E6 since DE52-F3E6 is a device and sdcard2 is a directory.
Thanks,

First I'm on 7.1.1 LineageOS v20, I have my SD card formated using ext2 since I need 4+ GB files for TWRP backups. This works and I can create files and folder ..., however I've found that if I pull the SD card and on a computer set the permission to say 777 all is fine, but on the Phone, I can for instance create a directory using root-explorer, but can not set permission or copy files into it. If I create the folder on the computer I can copy files into it however. Next say I backup using Ti-backup to the external SDcard it works fine, but of I install a new ROm I can not access the previous backup files. I can not change the permissions on the file to 777 either from a terminal.
Really this is what upsets me, as root in a terminal I can not set permissions on a file as it does nothing, for instance on /storage/emulated/0 I have:
h918:/storage/emulated/0 # ls
drwxrwx--x 3 root sdcard_r 4096 Mar 14 19:35 .rr
-rw-rw---- 1 root sdcard_r 1369542927 Apr 1 22:28 01update.zip
-rw-rw---- 1 root sdcard_r 884357956 Apr 1 22:34 02update.zip
-rw-rw---- 1 root sdcard_r 1057588047 Apr 1 22:41 03update.zip
drwxrwx--x 2 root sdcard_r 4096 Mar 9 23:06 3DMarkAndroid
drwxrwx--x 2 root sdcard_r 4096 Mar 4 18:20 Alarms
....
as root I execute:
h918:/storage/emulated/0 # chmod 777 *.zip
h918:/storage/emulated/0 # chmod 777 *.zip
h918:/storage/emulated/0 # ls -al
drwxrwx--x 43 root sdcard_r 4096 Apr 1 22:35 .

drwxrwx--x 2 root sdcard_r 4096 Mar 4 18:20 Alarms
...
The permissions remain unchanged, why I'm root I should be able to change permissions.
looking at mount the options are:
/dev/fuse on /storage/emulated type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
/dev/fuse on /mnt/runtime/read/emulated type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
/dev/fuse on /mnt/runtime/write/emulated type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
The SD card looks similar:
/dev/fuse on /storage/ea8c26be-fcbc-4773-b799-5e64ef33f641 type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
/dev/fuse on /mnt/runtime/read/ea8c26be-fcbc-4773-b799-5e64ef33f641 type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
/dev/fuse on /mnt/runtime/write/ea8c26be-fcbc-4773-b799-5e64ef33f641 type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)
Nothing here should block ROOT from change the permissions. I simply want as root or as any root application to be able to create a directory change file permission and access data written as another root app, all of which make it possible to use the phone and backup/restore safely.
I can only assume something is blocking me form using the device the way I want and operating on files, since pulling the card to a computer allows setting 777 and then it works as I want, what I want is to set the umask to 777 for everything, as for security that can be damned as I need to be able to backup and restore safely first, something I can not do now as Tibackup can not access it's own files on restore unless I first pull the card and set the permissions on a computer, which is unacceptable.
Files created on the phone have permissions 700 or something similar, even though on the phone they are listed as having more, this explains the issue as it is not for instance: -rw-rw---- but -rw-------, however root should still be able to access the file and can not, nor can root change the settings.

I'm trying to flash lineageOS on my Moto Z/XT1650 however it aborts with 'E2001: Failed to update vendor image.' and leaves the system in an unbootable state (which i have then to fix by restoring the stock image from backups) After having a closer look the error seems to originate from the updater script when it tries to patch the vendor/oem partition (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem or /dev/block/sdc9) because the partition is readonly.
Code:
block_image_update("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem", package_extract_file("vendor.transfer.list"), "vendor.new.dat.br", "vendor.patch.dat") ||
abort("E2001: Failed to update vendor image.");
I also failed to mount the partition rw via adb shell.
Code:

~ # ls -al /oem

How do i make the partition rw so that twrp/lineage installer can patch it?
Never mind, i found the solution: Booting directly into twrp causes these issues. Flash the twrp/recovery image and boot into recovery mode instead
