My phone lost his Imei after restoring to factory settings. I have root, and I was trying to do it because I have root so unrooted&wipe but after wipe my imei lost again, (once happened again, that time i sent it to service and came in good condition) but I found the EFS backup ing and editing with a hex editor will set things to order but even I have root and giving permissions to any program wont see SU.
Galaxy Toolbox prog. can't find any EFS and I could not be able to edit it. There is no Galaxytoolbox folder (or YGSxyz folder) in sdcard. And if I look with root explorers, there is no things in efs folder.
I mean to use this method but I do not have anything in my efs folder.
Any Ideas?

My device is rooted and its giving permission to applications but applications can't read the given SU permission. Somehow weird situation, oh by the way my phone could not connect to wifi on by own, i have to enter values of my wifis parimeters of ip gateway etc. and I could not update SU binary.
srt99 I'm not a professional android user, not linux anyway, so I dont want to interact with changing roms because there is no Turkish rom in sammobile or any like (I do not use Turkish language on my phone, but still my guarantine is continue and will send if I could not make it. )

You don't have to be a professional, like everybody can do this. Just flash this through cwm and you have stock kernel again.

a line at a time
and see the sd card try with hexeditor like the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1968360
Thanks for posting with this much helpful contains. But my device can not gain root acces even have the app superuser in main menu. I couldnt figure out why, while I'm trying to update binary it couldn't gain root access even given permission to superuser inself. Tried to install SuperSU from chainfire but it does not install it. even with ccw mod installer.

so if with su changes with # you are in root.....so try the command that wrote before for bml15
and to upgrade su bin try super user fix by chainsdd in playstore if forse fix then you have to remove the battery

Yes i have the bml15 and when open it with hex editor at line 0x80000 I can see my imei number, what should I do now?
dd if=/sdcard/bml15.img of=/dev/block/bml15 line prints "dd: not found" how ever, the opposite command token the bml15.img to sd card.

your rom will be the same....try and tell me if work fine...for me work fine
no you have to use a little apk bmlunlock and then to use the command to mount the partition or viceversa and then
busybox dd if=/sdcard/bml15.img of=/dev/block/bml15 but i don t remember if you have to use chmod command also

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.

Sorry, i'm not good at hardware stuff
Maybe the ROMs aren't mounting that special kind of partition your sdcard is having
FAT32 format works universally
yaffs2 may not

Dunno if it's possible to directly flash it by TWRP, but I'd suggest you to try this before flashing; take a nandroid backup, first of all. Now, using a root explorer, browse to /version/special_cust/BLN-L21/hw/eu/media (that's the path where i took bootanimation from, obviously if you're on another build variant you could find different model codes like BLL-L22, ecc. or just different paths) and move the zip into the media folder. Reboot and check if it works. If not, flash it by TWRP.
Edit - remember to change permissions to rw-r-r if moved to the folder with a file manager

Hello guys, im facing this problem and maybe u all can help me,
actually i got motorola one (not power) and i noticed this function multi-user with up to 5 users isollated. so i wanna increase this number of accounts up to 10, i know its possible, but can i do it without rooting?
or if only rooting is possible, is there a way to unroot 100%? because some apps detect im rooting.
can i acess "build.pro" and edit it without rooting too?
i also own a samsung j7 prime and followed tutorial below and worked very well with a little downsides, its detectable by some apps including banks apps
Any help is welcome
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/multi-user-samsung-galaxy-j7-j5-t3217939
Step 1. Open FileExplorer (Es file explorer, preferable)
Step 2. Go to "Device"
.
Search for "build.prop"
Edit and add the below string at the end of the editor and save and reboot !
fw.max_users=10
fw.show_multiuserui=1
You'll need root to edit build.prop.

Yes you need root to find build.prop. But you can extract build prop using adb pull location in twrp and edit it on PC, then reinstall firmware *DONT UNROOT VIA MAGISK ALMOST HARDBRICKED MY MOTO ONE* when your done reinstalling firmware then use adb push location build.prop

With this method root is needed? is there any tutorial so i can follow your instruction and put it to work? i know how to use adb and insert commands at cmd.

i found this firmware https://www.getdroidtips.com/motorola-one-android-pie-update/ , this one is the correct for my mobile. can i edit this rom (build.prop) and flash it to work with above 5 users? what you think?
with my searchs i found the pull push command, https://www.**********.com/push-pull-files-android-using-adb-commands/
so basically, run adb look for the build.prop and pull it to adb folder, edit the file into pc to 10 users (fw.max_users=10) save, adb push command and done, reboot? thats right ?

Nevermind! Figured it out! Searched for the G8X Twrp installer, flashed the ramdisk, flashed Disable DM-Verity&Force Encryption, then just used the twrp file manager to handle what i needed in the directories.
I was under the impression that their was no twrp for g8x.

Yes, operating in twrp you are basically running abd root in terminal and you are system-as-root in the file manager so be careful, back-up prior to any changes. Any apk managers has a hard time with system-as-root permissions in production builds unless your the root master topjohnwu lol

But making change from manager not works coz the ui changes my change again
It should work in twrp; unless you have a recovery.from.boot file in your system. I would go to terminal and run # getprop and see what's going on, you may have a ro.prop that's not allowing what you want to change
Yes it is ro.prop so what should i do?

It will help you find to see if you have a RO "read-only" property and value on your desired item example; I want to set my adb port to 5555 i would run # getprop and look through the property's to find my item and if it says:
$ service.adb.tcp.port=5038
I would change it with:
$ su -c resetprop service.adb.tcp.port=5555
Its all depending on the property and the location in the partition the files are in really in how its modified. What exactly are you trying to do?
