looking around for answers to Android Pay not working on MM, I found some answers. My problem was Google couldn't verify the device and I couldn't ad any cards. After a few steps I am now able to add cards and verified by Google.
adb shell
type su
chmod 751 /su/bin
or you can use root explorer and change to rwxr-x--x
Step 2
then
renaming xbin_bind folder
As far as working at the NFC machines haven't tried it yet.
EDIT: For some reason root explorer for ES File Explorer doesn't work anymore, the app Root Explorer does

Hello. I am having a lot of trouble accessing root folders [/etc] to paste a new gps.conf. I was wondering if anyone might know why this is, or have a fix. I have searched for similar problems in the forums, and seemed to get some similar problems, but no specific answers.
Phone model: HTC Desire GSM
Android version: 2.3.7
Oxygen ROM 2.3.2-bravo
I have tried using root explorer (yes setting root and etc to r/w, not r/o) and ES explorer (turning on all the root access settings).
When I try to either paste a new gps.conf to the etc folder, it gives me no error messages, but will not overwrite the old file.
Any ideas are welcome
Try using terminal emulator:
Code:
su
cp /your/gps.conf /etc/gps.conf
Or using adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell "cp /your/gps.conf /etc/gps.conf"

I tried this and it says it cannot copy - out of memory
Having searched for this issue, I found that it has nothing to do with memory, but simply that the user does not have permission to modify the contents of the folder. This can be changed using the chmod command, but I have no idea how to use the chmod command, it looks complex.
Any help is much appreciated
I don't use root explorer or but you should be able to use it to edit a folder's permissions.
I use total commander and all I do is navigate to the folder/file, long press it, click properties then permissions then enable write across the board. I imagine the process is basically the same for root explorer.

Thanks, but I think you have to use chmod. For some reason root explorer / es file explorer, &c. cannot change this permission, because they do not have permission to change the permission.
Ok, so, I am a bit of a noob to tablets and linux in general. I ran a linux desktop for a few years with minimal terminal exposure. I got the new HP slate 7 1800 for Christmas, and proceeded to root it. I had success with the TwerkMyMoto exploit. RootChecker has verified the root job a success.
My only complaint with this tablet is that with the TeamViewer app, I cannot access my external SD card. I understand that this type of issue is a complaint of many. I assumed it was a permissions issue, and according to some other threads, I was correct. Modifying /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml should require / to be remounted r/w. I have SuperSU installed, and using FX Explorer with Root addon, I can't seem to get the remount accomplished. Can anyone make a recommendation?
Also, BusyBox Free is installed to /system/xbin. After installation, can the App be uninstalled?
Thanks

After you install busybox you can uninstall the app if you want. Can't help you with FX Explorer, I've never used it. I've always used Root Explorer and at the top of that app is a button to change from r/o to r/w.

Thanks! Root Explorer actually changes r/w. Let the editing begin!

make a backup if you have a custom recovery installed.
Some of my apps needs write permission on system partition for it to work.
Android version 4.4.4
Model number: C6833
Build number 14.4.A.0.183
Locked Bootloader
Rooted using EasyRootTool_v11
i have no idea on where to start, i need you guidance.
welcome to the dark world of root enabled devices ...heh lol just kidding
I prefer to always change the su app to chainfire's SuperSU
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
And the most common file explorer is probably Root Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
With Root Explorer navigate to the folder you need to change permissions on files and long click on file and tap permissions
Apps are stored at these directions
Here /system/app/
Here /system/priv-app/
And here /data/app/
Hi - Have a Kindle Fire HDX 7 with 13.3.2.1 installed. Brand new refurbed unit.
I have rooted with KFHDX+ToolKit+v0.95 and all went fine.
I also Disabled OTA updates but I'm concerned that the otacerts.zip is still in the /system/etc/security folder. I'd like to move it out of there.
I have confirmed I have root, and want to install Es File Explorer. I have sideloaded the file and tried to install with adb:
C:\Users\davcam\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb install /sdcard/Download/ES_File_Explorer_V3.0.4.apk
Invalid APK file: /sdcard/Download/ES_File_Explorer_V3.0.4.apk
I'm afraid to enable wifi and get an unwanted update from Amazon. That's why I want to install ES FM with ADB
Goal is to mv the otacerts.zip file out of it's folder and then install Safestrap-Thor-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk and take a backup of stock rom, restore to a new ROM slot and then activate that .
C:\Users\davcam\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell ls -Ral /system/etc/security
/system/etc/security:
drwxr-xr-x root root 2014-02-07 04:23 cacerts
-rw-r--r-- root root 1337 2014-02-07 04:23 otacerts.zip
Feels like a Catch-22
do I need to chmod the file to 755 or is it a R/W permissions problem?
Have not been able to install any apks with adb.
thanks
thought: do you have to register with AMZ to get OTA updates? Maybe I could get file from 1Mobile.?
adb install only accepts local paths; e.g. those on your computer, not device.
As for otacerts.zip, you don't have to revoke any permissions — just rename it to something like otacerts.zip.old.

So is it even feasible to install apks on your Kindle using adb? If so can you show me a simple example using the Download folder?
Can I safely do this: ADB install (installs application) -- adb install c:\example.apk ?
EDIT: I tried the above command and it works. I guess you can!
thanks
I'm using a Huwei Pronto and a friend rooted my phone a while back so I factory reset. I was unable to connect to Google servers and I've tried everything I've seen so far.
I am once again rooted using kingroot
Device is running android 4.4.4 KitKat
Every file explorer I've tried has root access
Es file explorer, total commander, fx explorer, etc...
I've come to the conclusion that the hosts file in etc is the file at fault, as it has an extra line.
I couldn't edit or overwrite the file so I looked to forums and found that I needed to remount.
When I try to remount I get
Remount error: read only file system...
I've even tried commands to remount in terminal emulator but my device is not listed when I type adb devices
Pls help it has been 6 months. I just want to be able to use Google play again.
