Hi everyone,
First of all, I would like to wish Merry Christmas to the Community Members...
Secondly, I am stuck on a very irritating problem: Read Only File System
I Rooted my phone, Flashed CWM 6.0.3.1 a month ago. Since then, I tried various ROMs here and I found this problem in all ROMs I've tried. Basically, I am not able to Change my System Files.
I tried ES File Explorer to overwrite but it says: Permission Denied!
I tried all File manager, but failed!
I tried mount -o remount,rw /system but neither it changed the permissions, nor it gave any error in Terminal.
I used Terminal and tried the chmod command, but it says Read Only file system
I tried to make a Flashable ZIP using this method, but even this doesn't change the files.(No, it does not show any error while flashing the zip through CWM)
Actually, I was trying to overwrite the boot animation, but the thing is that my whole system seems to be Read Only.
So, I would like to ask for help regarding this.
Thank You
Best Regards,
THAKUR

flashed roms. ..? ehh is your bootloader unlocked...?
second it looks like a root problem . try this method to gain root again (if you're already rooted ,then go to supersu and in settings do permanent unroot) ,it roots your phone in 28~35 seconds ,

Ok. So the problem was solved on the same time as I posted this thread.
What worked for me:
When I tried mount -o remount,rw /system, I was still not able to Fix permissions through ES File Explorer. Then, When I tried mount -o remount,rw /system 2 times, and then I used the Default File manager(Cyanogen File Manager) to change permissions, it was working.
Ok. So the problem is solved now.
Thread can be marked as SOLVED :good:
Anuj, Thanks though

any ideas ? , i search on the forum and the internet find some threads with other devises but with no answer !
Where is the file? You can't change permissions for files on sdcard

/mnt/exsdcard/ubuntu

/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu
after that
/mnt/sdcard
but didn't work
so where to put it ?
You don't need to change it. You just
su
sh ubuntu.sh

put it say permission denied ! , even after su !
Yes I have that issue too. Only on s3 not other phones.
My work around was to run it using script manager. Setting the root permission

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and like is executable
and you can see the root " the green thing in the corner "

http://postimage.org/image/xjj3em9ij/
Works fine for me. Did script manager ask for root?
You have to set root on the properties. Also make sure its set as script not executable

RECOVERY 3e Recovery Modded w/ No Verification​ :highfive:
I have noticed some of you are having issues after installing a new kernel or rom, when you boot into recovery you now have 3e, which does not allow unsigned zips to be flashed. With this version of 3e it has no-verification check, now allowing you to flash whatever you want.
This zip has
1) 3e recovery modified to disable signature checking
2) disables the forced wipe after installing any update.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions
1)Download and extract the file here
2)Use a terminal emulator or ADB shell and type.. (or you can use Root Explorer or SGSTools to mount system RW)
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3)Use a file manager like Root Explorer and copy the recovery file to /system/bin and replace the one there
4)Now, reboot and you should have a modded 3e recovery with no signature verification
You can either leave the modded 3e recovery or you can now flash CWM via Rom Manager
**Just like anything else, I am not responsible if this bricks your phone, this is fairly simple, follow the guide...Do at your own risk**

Great thread. I've extracted 3e recovery from vivo xshot. Can you explain me how disable security check? This phone don't have recovery file in system/bin but I've found a way to open bootloader
Nice App....
The file link is broken.
Hi Jawad Twam,
Very useful. I am also trying the same on my samsung galaxy S5. However, I could not download your recovery file since the link is broken. Can you please upload the file in somewhere and share the link?.
Thanks in adv,
Prakash.
Hi I get a message "operation not permitted" in the terminal emulator after typing the line. How can I fix that?
Hi everyone.
I've a Nexus 5 which runs Android 6.0.1 but I think the problem is not especially related to the Nexus 5, so I post here.
What happened ? Few days ago my phone crashed (I didn't use it) and was slow to boot up. So I tried to force the reboot by pressing the power button for 15/20s and it worked.
But 5/10min after I saw the "Select language" menu ... The phone performed a factory/reset by itself. I don't know why.
First, I plug my phone to my computer and I've seen that 26GB/32GB were already in use.
So I tried to recover my pictures and videos with many apps and the one which worked was "Undeleter" (5$) but it didn't recover all my data.
Yesterday, I wanted to understand what happened really. I ran "DiskUsage" which give me this result for /storage/emulated/0 :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I access to the "System data" partition which has a size similar to the storage space used before the crash ?
Regards,
Laurent
EDIT :
Finally I backed up all my data !
Indeed, files of my memory (/sdcard) before the crash was in /data/lost+found/#1351681/0
Then, I was able to move them to /sdcard and to copy the files on my PC.
How to ?
Make sure your phone is rooted and install a file explorer such as Root Browser.
Open Root Browser and navigate until /data/lost+found/#xxxxx [in my case, with a Nexus 5 it was 1351681/0]
(Look for the directory which corresponds to your previous "sdcard".)
Now, you can see the files but you can't open them. So move (not copy!) them to /sdcard (I suggest you to do that folder by folder).
Great, you've recovered your files ! But now, transfer them to your computer to prevent damages (I was forced to do that and remove files after to continue because the storage was full).
You can do it in connecting your phone to your computer and via the explorer or you can use adb (adb pull /sdcard/directory_to_move path_to_a_dir_of_your_computer)
I hope it will be useful.

Hey folks,
I think I briked my Phone last night but I dont give up on it.
What happened: I tried to flash a new ROM because my current Custom ROM didnt appeal to me at all. So I went into TWRP and made a normal wipe. Then I tried to install new new ROM.zip. The first odd thing was that I couldnt navigate to the download folder on my external sd card. The good thing was that the old ROM.zip was available for flashing so I decided to flash the old ROM anew. And then...nothing happened. I couldnt intall the ROM. Not even the Gapps.zip was able to be flashed.
Then I thought I could try it via Fastboot on the PC (I have a Motorola x Style/Pure) and googled how to do it. I found a command to install a .zip and tried it. But it didnt work: It said smth like 'Bootloader denied'. So that wasnt the ways to go for me.
After that I went back into TWRP and looked on the command line. And there was smth odd aswell. I said: "Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument). The same with 'data'. The internet said I should format (not wipe) the storage in TWRP. I tried it and although it said that it was successfull nothing was...TWRP is still unable to mount cache and data.
I found out that it has smth to do with the encryption but idk.
So that is my problem: I cant install anything. I cant format anything.
Pls if you have any idea on this pls tell me. I already ordered a new phone but it would be nice if this phone didnt become a paperweight...
And thank you if you read till here. Aaaand sry for my bad english

Hello all,
I've been flashing rooms on the phone for quite a while now, but last weekend i flashed a new CM14.1 ROM onto the phone with the new GAPPS with it. Before doing this i ofcourse wiped the needed partitions in order for them to work right. However, since i've done this and flashed the new software, the phone doenst have access to the internal storage while being booted into the system (OS)..
When i boot into TWRP, i have full access to the internal storage and i'm able to create new folders and copy/cut/paste files onto it. Down here, you see i've created a new folder using the PC while its booted in TWRP.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When i try to do this while its booted in CM14.1 (android 7.1.1, but i think any ROM i'd flash) this happens:
To translate this from Dutch to English: "The new folder couldn't be created on this location. The device isn't responding anymore or the connection has been lost".
When i browse to the internal storage through the OS itself, it does show up. However, i dont have any access to create new folders or files or to change them:
Also when i try to take a picutre using the camera, it says this:
Even when i enable developer options and giving root to both apps and adb, it still doesnt have the required access to perform these actions:
Also going to the gallery, it says that there is no storage available:
I also looked up some info about the partition, which might be useful for those who have some knowledge about this.. This is what i found using the app "Diskinfo":
And i also used the commands ls -l to show the permissions of the /data/media/(and)0/ to see what rights are giving out:
As you see here, the app itself didnt have access to go to the storage location untill i gave it "su" rights. Does this mean the entire OS doesnt have access to this location because it simply doesnt have the right permissions for it?
If anyone has any suggestions or wants to help me figure out what is wrong, please feel free to reply here or through a PM. It would be highly appreciated.
///Edit
After searching around on the web i came across a post where someone said that running the TWRP advanced option "Fix Context" would reset all permissions that you normally dont do yourself. So i've ran that, it ran for like 0.5 second before being finished. After rebooting the phone into the system (OS/Android) all problems were solved and permissions were set right.
Therefore my problem is resolved now, and this topic could be closed ^^
