[Q] How to change permissions in „Platform.XML“ MediaPad X1 - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

Hi to everyone!
I want to use the externSD by Apps.
A change „Platform.XML“ with the Total-Commander-Editor failed by the function “SAVE”. Is it a Huawei permission-problem? Also the app “NextApp SDFix“ failed. Can I use other tools? ........I´m looking for a simple way.
My system: Android 4.4.2, EMUI 2.3 .....B103 (Huawei Update), root mit SuperSU und BusyBox
Thanks

Dear nordic02,
You need to run the following commands in a terminal.
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# chattr -R -i /system
Keep the terminal open. Then open "platform.xml" file using file explorer and edit and save.
BR,

Thanks for your answer!
I remount the "/system" with a result: RWX,R-X,R-X (755) but a edit-change of platform.xml cannot be save........ it failed.
A mount to "RWX,RWX,RWX" is also negativ.
I didn´t found a way to change parameter in platform.xml

Hi,
I have a 7D-501L and I'm using 7D-501LV100R002C100B103 firmware on it. No need to modify platform.xml for SD card access.
I can use NOT native apk such as OfficeSuite 8 or other file browsers and I have full access to microSD card (my 7D-501L is not rooted) . If I use firmware for the Chinese model 7D-503L, I HAVE TO root my device to modify platform.xml for SD card access (In the past, I gave a try to EMUI 3.0 ROM but I prefer the international ROM even with EMUI 2.3)
Regards.

Go to Settings and then Storage and then select Default Location and lastly select SD Card

[Q] not able to mount system as read/write properly

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with ES file explorer. After several days I managed to root my HUawei U8800 Ideos X5 (Android 2.3.5) and obviously one of the next steps is installing CWMR. Unfortunately I'm failing here too. I tried to copy the recovery.img to the .cust_backup/image, but it keeps to say copy failed. Root access was given and I checked all four boxes in root settings. Someone in a german forum told me to update the binarys in SU, which failed too (it says sth like copy su to /system -> failed!). I'm not even sure ES FE would work if the binarys would be current.
Is there someone who can help me? Any ideas?
I already tried the app Mount /system (rw / ro). It didn't work with this too.
Thanks a lot.
no ideas?
You must have the /system folder mounted for read and write, default is read-only.
Different folders in the file structure could be located on different file systems, the easiest way to be sure that you have read and write access were you want to put files, imho, is by using root explorer.
If you are rooted and ES have root permissions then the problem is that the folder is non-writable. I don't know the app you tried to use to mount the /system as r/w but it's easy to do in root explorer or through adb shell with a little bit of *nix knowledge (su and mount -o remount,rw).
Should work from terminal emulator app as well.
C:\Users\...>adb push C:\recovery.img /.cust_backup/image/
failed to copy 'C:\recovery.img' to '/.cust_backup/image//recovery.img': Read-on
ly file system
before I typed
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Doesn't work. adb etc. is installed.
I'm really desperate about this now, I think something is really wrong with my system partiture or something like that. I consider formatting it, the problem I obviously have is that without CWMR I have no clue how to do that and how to flash an OS after it. Does someone have ideas about the whole issue? Interesting facts about my device: Often I'm not able to flash a stock ROM, it stops somewhere in the middle of the process. Rooting works often, but not always with SuperOneClick or zergrush. At the moment my superuser app says "root app_63" in a red font instead of "root root" in a green font, at least I have current binaries at the moment, but this doesn't work always as well. Seems like I am pretty alone with all these problems, that's why I want to format /system...
Please help me! Thanks
Give root explorer a try!
Sent from my OC ed mind.!
Why would you think that would work? ES File Explorer does basically the same...
Dont EVER try to format /system or u r gonna end up completely bricked. Just take your phone to a service centre and see what can be done. If you are under warranty, replace the mobile.
Hope i helped .

Hello everyone, I made the root using the "all in one" by condi.
the root is fine except that when I use the 'app' root app delete "to delete the files of sony, tells me that I need root permissions.
the version of Android 4.0.3 is R5A.
can someone help me? thanks
----------EDIT---------
with titanium backup I found out where they are system applications
/ locale / vendor / app. I tried to move "crash bandicoot" in / local / system / app and it says it is a read-only file so I can not uninstall it.

I used adb shell
mount: operation not permitted
Check your tablet screen after entering the su command, there should be a window asking you to grant root access. Give root access and you should be able to continue with the remount command.

[Help] Problem installing busybox

Hey...
I am having problem installing busybox version from google play... Its says it cannot be installed due to phone not properly rooted whereas all other apps which require root work well on my device....
If any one could provide me a flashable zip of busybox or busybox that would work on my device that would be great!
You have to remount your system partition as writable which is possible with ES File Explorer for example (go to Tools -> Root Explorer).

You need to install busybox and also run Android terminal and type in some commands. You can visit the other threads here which do describe the process.
Or you can go to my home forum, link in my sig.

You should be rooted and have busybox and terminal emulator installed.
In terminal, run :
su [enter]
mount -o rw,remount /system [enter]
chattr -R -i /system [enter]
Now you can edit system files, go to /system and rename or delete set_immutable.list.old
To make sure xposed would work I deactivated the huawei theme engine by editing the build.prop line ro.config.hwtheme=1 set it to 0 and voilà!

hi tychomat,
Which rom version have you because each time i edit the build.prop line ro.config.hwtheme=1 set it to 0, then I can't open the Settings which closed immediatly ?
Moreover, i don't have "ro.config.hwtheme=1" in buid.prop BUT in local.prop (data/cust/prop).
For my rom 7D-503L 4.4.2 Emui 2.3, there isn't "ro.config.hwtheme=1" in buid.prop
Ah, I have the 503L on 4.2.2, build 009. that must be why
Sorry I couldn't help, I've only started tinkering with it yesterday.

Mount /system RW / RO Android 7.1.1 Lenovo Tab 4 10"

I have a problem with making a /system folder into read/write permission. I made root (TWRP 3.2.3, SuperSU-v2.82 - in TWRP is unchecked read-only) and the problem is tablet freezes EVERY time a make change from RO to RW.
I used Root explorer, ES file explorer, Root file manager, Super manager... Every time when I change it and press "ok" tablet freezes. Also I try via terminal "mount -o rw,remount /system", nothing, a download apk "Mount system RO RW ROOT" and apk said it did it, by when I check in file explorer it is still read only. (also I try via fastboot and comannds pull and push and it said that file is read only)
I really need to make changes in /system/build.prop and I'm out of options...
Anyone?

Hey have you found a fix for this???
I have the same problem.
device x00id os 7.1.1 (downgrade from aosp 9.0 > 8.1 > 7.1.1 because everytime i upgrade i had battery issue)
twrp 3.1.1.0.zip
supersu 2.79.zip (i've tried to use magisk.zip before)
1. flash twrp
2. flash su.zip
3. reboot system
4. open root explorer
5. copy folder /su to sdcard or internal storage. (my device doesnt freeze when copy file from root to sdcard, but my screen freeze when try to switch 'ro' to 'rw')
6. reboot to twrp again
7. mount system
8. advance > file manager
9. copy all item in /sdcard/su to /system/xbin and /system/bin (i only copy file su to /system/bin)
10. tap every files that you copy and click 'chmod 755'
11. reboot system
now you can try to switch your 'ro' / 'rw' button in your root explorer. i think screen freeze while access root happens because root method (twrp and magisk) doesnt instal root as system ('respecting encryption' or whatever)
but i hate to see my device forced to keep updating apps like fb, messenger, ig that i dont use it. a lot bloatware that forced to instal in customer device that drain battery.
i hope this help you or whoever that has same problems. good luck.
