Did you set proper permissions after copying the files?

I mounted as rw when I did an even tried this method: drag files to any folder on your internal memory. boot into recovery, mount data n system, go to file manager n look for your files, click on the files n move it to system/font. wipe cache, reboot

No, but I'd use whatever permissions the other files in the folder have .

Get Rom toolbox and go to the interface section and click on fonts. Now click Local fonts. Now you want to find the font you want on your SD card and install them in a click. So Simple. Much Easy. Fast. Such amazement. Wow. (Doge meme hahaha)

Hi all.
I'm trying to copy some files to the system partition after enabling write on read-only partitions and remounting it and everything is success, but when I restart the phone, files get deleted and partition back to original. I tried ES file explore and Total Commander.

Hmm.. seems like a hard question!

Hey,
no not a hard question but a bit confusing
So the copy to system works without probs?
Do u have root-enabled on it?
U can try Solid explorer once, too, to be sure.
CHEERS
I enabled root explorer and I mounted the file system to be writable, yes I have a rooted phone.
I can copy to system root folders anything (media files), the files stay there until I reboot the phone then they disappear, they get deleted maybe? how to disable that?
Thanks

That listen like u have to save changes?!
Pls try the Solid explorer (for me the best explorer ever)
Copy files and have a look for root-acces request (should be asked for Solid, if it's new)
The copy/replace the file.
CHEERS
Thanks Hannibal for reply, I got no luck on doing it, they still get removed after reboot. Is there a way to flash these files that I want to copy to system as an update.zip?

Sure there's a way, but I can't help u with it, sorry.
With new Titanium Backup u can create flashable .zips but for sure only from isntalled apps.
Maybe u have a look at google. I remind for a tool which u just say what u wanna flash an it creates the flashable .zip.
Much success....

Es works. You need to go to settings-tools-root explorer-mount R/W and mount system as writeable

Crash could happen because you don't have enough memory. I did it for some system files on my phone and it always worked fine. But I always deleted the files I wanted to replace first

I would imagine adb would be your best option
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Oh GOD seriously?
Man you cannot replace the WHOLE system in any way except from recovery or bootloader...........NO ADB NO ES NOTHING will work.
ADB is feature that relies in the system of android. And when replacing the WHOLE system, the files needed for adb to work cannot change as they are in use, or if they change your phone will crash.
You can in no way change necessary system files while android is booted up beacause they are in use. Your whole operating system is in /system. Only recovery or bootloader will do.

Im pretty sure you can't. ADB commands does not work in fastboot and vice-versa. ADB only works in Android environment AFAIK. Though you can use fastboot flash commands and not adb push....

Yes, as long as they are not needed for the system to function properly. You can replace them with ES or Push them via ADB with root access.
I have tried a lot of custom Roms. I'm on Neat ROM Lite now. Not sure which ROM changed my file access permission settings to cause this problem but I'm not able to delete any files from my external memory card. I was able to delete when I was on stock rom. The other problem is for a few apps I get an error message which says can't install on usb/sd card. I have posted this in another thread
some time back but got no response. Some one please point me in the right direction.
This is what my file permission looks like.
PS: I am able to delete when my fone is connected to PC via USB. So I don't think it has anything to do with a faulty sd card.

download mobile terminal from playstore
Hey I know its been quite sometime now.but as ur advice I downloaded mobile terminal and now have to run the following command everytime I boot my fone:
mount -o rw,remount -t/yaffs2 /storage/extSdCard
Otherwise i do not get rw access to my external sd.Istn't there a permanent solution to this? Also I fail to understand what changed my permissions and why does this persist across all the new roms I flash?

Create a blank file and type that command in it. Now save it and rename it to 95mountsd with no extension
Now, if you have init.d support, place it in /system/etc/init.d and reboot
Command will run on every boot itself
Thank you, it worked. Now could please have a look at my other issue, in this post I'd be really thankful.
Can you please tell me what could be the reason for my default rw settings to change, coz I remember when I had stock os I never had to do all this.

Maybe the ROMs aren't mounting that special kind of partition your sdcard is having

Try this

TO DO THIS YOU MUST BE ROOTED
If you guys haven't noticed you can't copy a file from internal sd to external sd (confirmed by me and others) Well I figured it out.
I remember something about OTG not being able to read from external on apps like Tibu with other devices. I did something similar to get it to work on the ZU GPE.
If you are rooted you can copy this file to /etc/permissions/
I tested copying a file from internal to external and it worked fine after this change.
I did make a couple changes to the file, I'm not sure which did it but one of them did. I am attaching the file
Just rename from platform.xml.zip to platform.xml, back up existing file(the attached file is NOT a zip.. it's a XML file just remove .zip from the end of the filename), copy new file and change permissions to match the old file
The zip file is corrupted.

Same with me before.. I got messed copying this.. Had to reflash ROM. The permission is rw-r--r--
Clear steps:
Download file
Copy to etc/permissions folder
Find the old platform.xml and renamed it with platform.xml.bak (as a backup)
Rename the platform.xml.zip to platform.xml
Set the permission as same as old file (rw-r--r--)
Reboot.. And done

Hey Guys,
I'm unable to delete obb files. It doesn't matter which method I use, the twrp file manager fails, adb fails, root explorers are failing. Any idea how to delete this? The unnecessary obb files are now almost 2GB big :/

1. try deleting with solid file explorer. move the file somewhere else then delete. if the filename is too large, then rename it to anything small, then delete.
2. if no success, backup everything to pc, then wipe dalvik+cache+data+system+internal storage via twrp.
then "format data" in twrp.
copy rom and other stuffs to a usb otg drive or microsd and flash what you need.
hope this will help.
U must hava root for this and a root explorer. Go to the device/data/media/obb, here u will see a copy of obb data files exactly like your internal storage. Just delete it and you are good to go. Try it and thank me later if u want.

Just a bonus tip: if even root explorer fails, try total commander with root access. No guarantee that it will work, but I found that tc can do many things of those the others fail.
