Hi there,
SOLVED
I first of all want to thank you all for the amazing guides you have on rooting phones. I managed to do it and I have never attempted anything like this before. So thank you!
Okay, so I have an issue with my phone. I cannot do anything with the /system/app folder, I cannot delete, I cannot rename and it's driving me up the wall.
I flashed my phone with Generic Firmware so I could use Towelroot to root the phone. It all worked well and all apps show that my phone is rooted. But no matter what I cannot for the life of me get anything to work. It is as if I do not have permissions to modify /system/
Any help would be great. I am using an xperia z2 and will be happy to answer any questions about what I've done.

Which app are you using to modify system files? Did you enable root in that application? Can you see that the supersu give a permission to that app?

I've tried everything from Rom toolbox, to Titanium Backup, to ES File Browser, to Root browser.
I've also tried removing it through shell and it says read only file system.
I cannot change the file system to RW I have tried that in ES FIle manager and it doesnt do anything. No errors, no warnings no nothing.

Sorry, another problem.
Now I successfully copy an system app back to system/app/ using RootExplorer.
After a factory reset, the app still didn't install it back.(It wouldn't let my install either. The app is "ASUS Reader"). Can anyone help me to re-install it? thanks.
---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------
Oh Mine. I just find out I am lacking a file called"AsusReader.odex", but I didn't back up it. Is there anyway to retrieve from my Region stock rom? thanks.
My phone was working fine until this morning when I tried to start wifitether and got the message "no SU binary installed" Does this mean I lost root somehow and have to root it again?

Its possible that you removed root permissions solely for wifitether by accident. Uninstall and reinstall then when it fires up make sure you select allow when superuser popup comes on. If you know your way around you can avoid the uninstall by simply going into superuser app and fixing permissions for wifi tether. If not then you'll need to boot into recovery and reflash supersu as you did during the original root process.
hope this helps!

Ok thats your first problem. you should NOT be using SuperSU app, its not compatible with the SU binaries we have installed on this phone. Until further notice this app is NOT compatible and wont be supported. Do to the binaries we used during the root process you must use the "superuser" app from the market. Some people have hacked in different binaries but unless it is specified that SuperSU is compatible then always is superuser.:angel:

Also if you have difficulties removing it then you may have to use tibu to freeze then uninstall SuperSU. If that doesnt work your only option will be ADB, it may just uninstall fine it may not it depends. But you need to get rid of it.

I was having issues like this. I had to swap between supersu and superuser. But it just never worked right. Once I flashed a new Rom it worked just fine.

Given the phone is S-On the only real way to ensure a permanent, functional root on stock would be to first remove the SuperSU binary and app. It has been confirmed that SuperSU does not work.
This can be done directly from TWRP's file manager or ADB with the unsecured kernel:
The binary can be found at: /system/xbin/su
And the app can be found at: /system/app/superuser.apk
BOTH FILES must be removed. Freezing SuperSU will not work
Next download and then flash the following zip in TWRP or CWM:
Superuser Binary+App
At this point you should have fully functional root on stock

Again, simply flashing Superuser over SuperSU will not work, the app and binary must be removed before flashing.

You need the binaries and the app to get root perm on anything from within the rom. I don't recommend this.

I overlooked the zip portion of your comment. I thought that you were saying to simply remove the app and the binary and reboot. However the binaries wont load from SuperSU in the first place so you should eb good to just get rid of SuperSU and install superuser. If everyone has been following the recommended rooting steps that is. But if that were the case noone would be installing SuperSU

I know this is an old thread but if it helps others, I had the same issue with TWRP, there is an option in SuperSu to unistall and switch to a another superuser app. Put the superuser zip above on the phones memory card, then just install regular superuser from the market. Now go into SuperSu and pick the option to switch to another app, once done go into file explorer and delete the files stated above if they are there. Now reboot into recovery & flash the new superuser zip..
That's very helpful information. Somehow I solved it back in December but I don' know how!
Hello, i probably have a huge problem, i cant install apps to /system/app, i have tried to push through adb and it doesnt work, i have tried to manually put the file to /system/app/ and i only get error "failed to copy to /system/app/" what should i do?

If it's just a launcher why not try installing it as a user app then try converting to system app with Titanium

place this file "swapint2ext.txt" on your sdcard and type the following
with a terminal emulator

Hi,
i have "don´t permission", when i type this one in terminal emulator.
Any idea? My phone is rooted. I rename the "swapint2ext.txt in .sh", is this correct? And the path is "sdcard0", is this also correct?
And also i try to execute the "swapint2ext.sh" with the Root Explorer. Works fine, but i can´t install Fifa 14 for example. Not enough place...

Hello! I'm pretty new here and I was hoping if someone could help me
My O+ Fab Lite 2.0 is stuck in my boot animation after I installed a new font. I installed a font before that and everything went smoothly. But instead of replacing the default android font (which I think is Roboto if I'm not mistaken), I replaced the Roboto Bold font. I rebooted my phone just like the app asked me to do. Next thing I know my phone is bricked! I used FontFix from JRummyApps to replace the Roboto Bold font. I really hope I can fix this with your help!! Thank you!

If you have TWRP or other custom recovery, you can just flash this zip with it.

If not, you will need to extract the font and we will install it manually.

Sadly, I've been searching for custom recoveries for my device a while back and it seems like there isn't one available. So no :crying: , I don't have a custom recovery.
To install manually:
1.Extract the font
2.Use adb to push the font to /sdcard/ (adb push * /sdcard/) for the * just drag n drop the font into the cmd window
3. Now we will start our shell commands
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system /system
cd /system/fonts
cp /sdcard/Roboto-Bold.ttf Roboto-Bold.ttf
chmod 0644 Roboto-Bold.ttf
reboot

2.Use adb to push the font to /sdcard/ (adb push * /sdcard/) for the * just drag n drop the font into the cmd window
3. Now we will start our shell commands
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system /system
cd /system/fonts
cp /sdcard/Roboto-Bold.ttf Roboto-Bold.ttf
chmod 0644 Roboto-Bold.ttf
reboot

sorry for the late reply but when I tried to do the first step this is what it said " adb: error: connect failed: no devices/emulators found "

You will need to install adb drivers for your device. If you've ever used adb with this device before, you should already have them installed, though.
Also, the phone will have to be doing it's loop for adb to read it. You may also want to try another usb cable.

hmmm why does it say " The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems. "

My bad, looking in the zip it is only for 64 bit. I'll keep looking. In the meantime you might get lucky with the Universal Android USB drivers. You should try that and see if you can get adb going.
To test it just type adb devices and if it sees your phone it will show it under List of attached devices.

Is this an MTK device? If so you can download the mtk drivers.

Install these, unplug the device, reboot computer, and then plug it back in an try adb devices again.
As soon as we can get adb to recognize it we can fix it.

I just had another thought too. If you can get it to boot into recovery sometimes adb will see it there. I had a Huawei that I did this same thing to with a font, for it I could only get adb to see it in recovery.

I'll try getting it in recovery mode but I'll do it tomorrow (or later lol) cause it's like 3:00 in the morning here in my country so yeah I need to get some shut eye. talk to ya later I guess! btw thanks for helping me out I obviously don't know much about these lol :laugh::good:
