[FIXED] No USER permissions, only ROOT ownes all directories - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, first of all, I wouldn't be asking this if I knew an answer or found one. I searched and tried so many ways, even experimented my own lol.
Story. I have a OnePlus One, which means I had CM installed. It was great but last year I wanted to try something different so I try I changed the room. No visible problem.
Then, my phone got slow and wanted to do a complete wipe of it. So I went to TWRP and try to flash something: result = BRICK.
Somehow solved and went to stock CM (12 I believe), and after some time I convinced myself not to give up and try again so I did.
Installed Resurrection Remix after unlocking and rooting via TWRP but I got caught into and infinity loop in the boot animation.
So I went back to recovery and wiped everything, and I mean everything. I wanted to do it from scratch (except the USB option) and I had read something about the FORMAT option in te TWRP advanced options in WIPE, so I went for it and then FLASHED from ADB SIDELOAD pushing the room and gapps mini (it wouldn't let me install bigger option than MINI) and wiped cache and delvik-cache and rebooted to system. Everything seemed to be working fine., but then I realised I couldn't install some apps from playstore so I went around it downloading some APK's and STORES and install them from other stores, but then I realized I couldn't take any screenshot saying I didn't have space (I got the 64GB version) but it wasn't the issue. I went to the File Explorer and checked permissions, everything was own by ROOT user.
So I did it again, wipe, flash, format, but it wouldn't work.
I've looked for any option but nothing seems to be working. Can get the USER folder to appear and can't use MTP with my computer since I don't have permissions. The only way to get files into my device is by PUSHING them. The phone is working with RR on it.
Any ideas?
I appreciate so much your help and hope be posting this the right way. Also, apologize for my English in advance if I had any mistakes (or will have lol)

Case solved!
Just for you to know! It seems I solved my problem.
@osm0sis is the guy who gave us a flashable script but the solution that actually saved me is the one from @xak944
So thank you very much. I give you the link where you can find the solution in case you have the same problem.

[Q] the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly

Gtab- Stock 3358.
Previously I had Stock 3358 and rothnics enhancement pack. I installed an app from the market. As soon as I started the app the gtab screen went blank. Then the TapnTap logo as if it was rebooting then within 2 sec I was back at the home screen. If it rebooted it was a heck of a fast reboot.
then I started getting the error. Everything except stock email and settings work. But the error message pops up every few seconds. I can't go to settings and wipe. So I attempted to install stock 3358. it went fine but problem persist. Still can;t go to settings to check version or do a afactory reset.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I had same problem and after debating the right courses to take, I nvflash'ed the device and started over again.
Still would like to understand that caused that error ?
This usually occurs as the result of contacts in your contact folder with blanks in the name fields. Delete any entries with blanks and you should be good to go.
PS. You will get faster resolution if you search before posting as this has been asked and answered several times in past week.
I have same problem...."The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I went into my google account, deleted or put names in contacts that didnt have names, rebooted and still having problem. I tried going into the data/data file, but there was no data file to delete as indicated on other threads. There is not an easy to find thread for this problem. Please help or at least direct me.
Thanks!!!
I never had any contacts saved. Regardless I cannot even open the contacts folder to add/delete anything.
I am having problems with, email, contacts, settings. as soon as I attempt to open any of the above it gives the FC message and takes it back to home.
On the other hand I called Gtab support. As soon as I told the probelm the lady asked me if I could go to settings. Once I told her no I cannot she said you have to send the unit back for repair. She said that she helped another individual yesterday with exact same issue.
On aside note I was able to delete most of my apps using ES file explorer.
@Bekit @rothnic or other senior members is there any solution beside nvflash. I am a newbie.
thanks.
I had the same problem in February and fixed it by searching this forum and finding pieces to put together a solution. The rest of this message is what I posted back on 2/24/11. I think the important part is to repartition your SD card and clear all user data. I have had no problems since I did this fix.
Good luck.
I have had my GTablet since early December and have been running the Stock Enhancement since early January. I have had no problems except for a very occasional unexpected stop. It was never a real problem.
Yesterday I started getting the android.process.acore error literally anytime I tried to use any application. To my knowledge, I had not installed anything recently that would account for this.
The good news is that I followed multiple threads here and came up with what seemed to be a reasonable solution.
I installed Clockwork and reset the partition to 2048/0 as suggested by several posts. I also cleared everything that I could clear using their menu.
Then I installed NVFlash which I believe put me back to the plain vanilla factory OS. (I also think this wiped out Clockwork Mod but I'm not positive.)
I got the "update available" message and did the OTA update of the OS.
Then I installed the TnT Stock Enhancement update and applied the Market Fix.
Everything seems back to normal now.
I want to thank all of the forum members who posted the various instructions that allowed me to piece together this solution.
I realize that not everyone has the same issues when problems occur so there isn't one single fix that is right for everyone. I didn't really understand that until I had this problem. I feel lucky that I've had relatively no problems.
I have to admit that I'm looking carefully at the Motorola Xoom because I suspect it has a much more stable hardware/software infrastructure but I would rethink that if the Viewsonic folks would be more forthcoming about their plans to support upgrades for the GTab. I can live without 3G if I have stability.
Thanks again to all of you experts out there in xda-developers forumland.
Stuck SD card
I am having the same problem and tried to do the restore from the SD card and now the card is in the slot and I cant access the settings to eject it. to run the clockwork mod is there any way to force it to boot the clockwork mod?
For me, Clockworkmod "wipe data/factory reset" eliminated the pesky force close message about android.process.acore that several of us seem to have. NVflashing & Contacts data field corrections did not work for me. The problems seemed to come up after downloading an app from market.
Running VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement, and happy!
got this last night/this morning as well. from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
after wiping the data, everything has appeared normal.
hope that helps.
I called CS yesterday. They help me delete most of the apps that I downloaded to see if that will fix the issue. That also helped in eliminating any personal data left behind in case I have to RMA the unit.
that makes my tablet completely stock. I don't have market any more. So can't get clockwork rom manager etc. Bigger probelm is the onscreen keyboard doesn't work either gives the error message.
I did some reading on how to NV Flash the device. Still trying to understand the process.
I have two options
1. NV flash the device and hope that everything still works.
2. I bought sears insruance. Just return the device and then be done with it.
Any help is much appreciated.
My experience level is limted to flashing stock and enhancement packs using the Power and + buttons.
You don't want to use the clockwork in Rom Manager. It doesn't work for the G Tablet.
Here are a couple other options off the top of my head...
1) cwmod for install from Micro SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
2) Try calkulin's format all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705

same thing with me. I downloaded a few apps and then I got it. Did the data wipe thing. Came back in and I am still getting the error. Not happening every 5 seconds, but still getting it.
okay, this is strange. I did the data wipe and I was still getting this error. After doing the market fix and got all my downloads available, I noticed that I am only getting this error when I hit the HOME button.
I hit the Home button and the error comes up, then the Android Market comes up. This only happens now when I hit the Home button. Error, Market comes up and I have to hit the Home button again to get home.
HELP!
only the home button
confirmed. Working on this the last 30 minutes, I am only getting this error when hitting the home button.
@ K J Rad
I downloaded caulkins format all zip. Now this may sound a silly question. Do I flash it like changing its name to update.zip and include the recovery file?
2nd question is if I am able to flash it successfully can I install the stock rom?

Just wanted to say this single step worked for me as well.
Ok. Finally got rid of the problem.
First I attemted NVFlash. After some intial strugle setting up the drivers etc on windows got it to work. Everything worked but still had the exact same process.
B/w I noticed superuser still there. I thought NV Flash will bring it to out of box. Used Bekits image.
After some more reading took the plunge and did CWM internal. Dide wipe data. Rebooted and got it working again.
Again pardon my ignorance but do I have to manually update to 3358. And if I do it go stock would it get rid of CWM. How do i get it off the machine?
I would like to prepare for the OTA.
Please advise.
B/w it was fun going through the process.

Glad you got it working. Installing the stock 3588 update will replace the bootloader and removes CWM. That should leave you as close to real stock as you can get.
Oh, and welcome aboard ;-)

[Q] Razr Doesn't Recognize Internal Storage Running Liquid Smooth

Obviously, I'm new to this site, as I imagine most are when they have their first big issue.
Right off the bat, I want to admit that this is solely my fault, and I have been trying to fix it for the past day... To make matters worse, the phone was a gift from my wife for our anniversary, so, I feel pretty bad about it...
The situation:
I rooted my phone yesterday with RazrBlade. I had to do a factory reset to get it to stick, but that was fine. I then installed Boot Menu Manager. I set up the necessary partitions, system_3 system.img (300mb), cache.img (300mb), and data.img (2Gb). I realize I probably should have given system more room... but I didn't think that was app related. I then flashed Liquid-JB-v2.8-OFFICIAL-spyder and gapps-jb-20130301-signed from goo.im. It didn't tell me the system partition was out of memory, so I assumed (like a fool) that everything was OK...
After a few reboots to the wrong system, namely the stock system, I decided to go into BMM and change the default to system_3, and then I did the dumbest thing possible: I thought to myself, "Wow, it would be a pain to see this bootloader each time my phone reboots. I'll turn the delay to 0!" So... I did...
The Problem:
My phone now boots straight past the recovery to system_3, which seems to have no space allocated for applications at all, including system ones. I attached a picture of the storage details. It goes through the setup process each time I reboot, and wipes any changes I make. I can't download apps, and I can't install them via APK because the phone thinks there is no space left. I don't have BMM installed in this system so I can't turn the delay up, to my knowledge. There is no file explorer on this system, so I can't go into the app files directly. I have tried connecting with "Android Commander" but it doesn't want to detect my device. I installed the ADT bundle for windows to get the usb driver, but still nothing... I also tried a factory reset again, but that does the same thing as rebooting for me now.
The Challange:
To my knowledge, I'm out of options, but I know most of you guys do this to see what you are capable of. I'm sure you've dealt with bigger issues. Can anyone help? Would Verizon techs be smart enough/have the right software to actually reset the phone?
Thanks!

I like to see you getting out of that one anyway,have you tried switching default storage? I mean try that I think that way the phone "thinks" your external sd is your internal memory and vice versa that might give you a chance to install BMM or a root explorer and debloat system..you got nothing to loose give it a try man,go to settings/advance and switch default storage,good luck.

Unfortunately, I tried that. The problem was that it requires a reboot, which wiped any settings
HOWEVER, the fix was along that line, it just required me to go into android shell and tell it manually.
I followed these steps to make the phone install to the SD card (internal phone app partition really) by default (because I'm a newb, I can't post links, so just google "how-to-install-android-apps-to-the-sd-card-by-default-move-almost-any-app-to-the-sd-card").
After doing so, I still had a problem downloading BMM from the market, but I think that was due to the market being outdated and troublesome, so I had to find an apk version instead.
I installed it, and restored the boot delay to 30 secs.
I then immediately booted to system_1 to feel safe.
I may try loading the Liquid Smooth rom again once I've fixed the partitions, but I will NEVER turn BMM's boot delay to 0 s EVER again...

LG GPAD 7 410 LTE: Confused about installing Cyangenmod

I've been working on trying to get Cyangenmod installed for several days now, off and on. So far I haven't bricked my Gpad, but have had some harrowing issues -- like the Play Store no longer works, and I have no internet browsers left on the gpad. But no matter, I have an SD card and have been transferring apk's and other files that way.
Anyway, I think I am close, but not quite there. Currently the status is I have root access, I have Flashify and Titanium Pro and TWRP all installed on the phone. I have the latest Cyangenmod .img and .zip files for my tablet model (installed in internal SDCARD folder). I tried pointing Flashify to the .zip file I downloaded and it first asked if it should copy the file to a "Safe" location -- I said sure, go ahead. IT returned with an unsuccessful message. So I thought "screw it" and just went ahead without saving it. At this point it appeared to work, I saw the "DOS-like" scroll of text with a volume-button menu of options. I just chose reboot, and the tablet rebooted -- but nothing was changed. Still have the LG and ATT screens, no Play Store, etc.
So obviously I chose something wrong. What is it? I don't know how to use TWRP first if needed, I was trying to Flashify the Cyangenmod .zip file first and then start looking into TWRP. Do I need to do something with TWRP first?
At this point I don't know enough to ask the right questions, but need some kind of boost to get Cyangenmod running on my phone. Any help appreciated.
Any advice?
Any suggestion to solve the problem?
Now that everyone is sending back their recalled Samsung Note phones, does anyone have time to help out here?
Use Flashify to install TWRP. You can then boot to recovery from Flashify and then use TWRP to make a backup and then install the rom zip and Gapps zip from there after performing a factory reset. It's usually recommended to wipe the system too to prepare for a complete clean install. I'd make sure that you have everything backed up to a computer that might be important as well as the original firmware downloaded, in case something goes wrong and you need to start over.
Thanks for the reply. I figured out the problem -- it was that the word "recovery" in Android-speak is not a verb -- it is a noun. I needed to install the "recovery file" and point Flashify to it, once I did that everything clicked into place and it booted up Cyangenmod.
I doubt many people are reading this (given the response rate) but to the moderators of xda, I suggest you put one "quick steps and necessary apps" on the home page of the site in a highly prominent place. xda is full of all sorts of great info, and if you are an advanced user this may be heaven -- but noobies like myself cannot see the forest for the trees. There are actually too many starting places, and many of them are hard to find. There are dozens of forums, ads flashing left and right -- it is like trying to go fishing in a disco.
Having said that, I do appreciate the info I was able to find and piece together.

Nook Tablet, 16 GB, AOSP Android 7.0

Followed all the steps in the detailed "[HOW-TO] Installing AOSP Android 7.0 "Nougat" Internally on the 16 GB Nook Tablet". During the process I was unable to install the suggested open_gapps-arm64-7.0. Tried several times, so right now I ended up with a mean and lean android system with 3 icons on the home screen. .
I'm a beginner doing this. So I attempted to copy superuser apk and the play store apk via usb connection to no avail. Don't even know where they ended up. I'm able to do a google search but it does not retain any bookmarks I'll be making, the reason being explained as I'll need an updated bookmark apk. (Which one??) and how do I install that?
Anyone out ther who can guide me in the right direction? Much appreciated. I do understand a little of the jargon being used in the forums here.

I'm sorry to tell you that those are the wrong GApps for the hardware. I will update the original instructions. What you need are the arm GApps, not the arm64 (remember, this is OLD hardware). The filename of the zip I used is open_gapps-arm-7.0-pico-20170310.zip
At this point, having done some fooling with the system, it's best to start the entire process over. That will give you the most stable result. You cannot install the PlayStore and have it function without GApps, so just forget that part. The superuser file I mentioned is a must, once you get the PlayStore working.
The Bookmark provider apk is already on the device. Re-read the second post in the instructions. You just have to tap to install it, for some unknown reason.
Thank so much for your quick response. You were absolutely correct that I was installing the wrong gapps, so I started over again with the 7.0 stock (error message), the nano (same thing) and finally the pico and that one worked. By that time I hit the sack. I found that out shortly after I posted the message. I kept reading and reading the instructions and completely overlooked the GAPPS choices I had. Even a very cryptic error message popped up that said something about "incompatible" and "arm". Duhh. So what I'm going to do is wipe it clean again (3rd time) and reinstall everything so I can do it in my sleep.
Regards

If you reformatted data as f2s, you might need to change it back to ext4 before you can do a successful wipe. Just a thought.

I'm lost. All I did during the previous wipes, went into Advanced Wipes and cleaned out everything. Did.n't format. So are you saying I format first (ext4) and then do a complete wipe? The last time I booted it seemed to be very unstable. Looked like an invisible finger was touching the screen. Jumped all over the place.

Me again. Everyting installed without a problem. Was able to get a couple apk from google plastore. Having said that, I also installed ES filemanager thinking it would give me root access. (no go.) No option under the developers option either. So gave up on that. Also I noticed that depending what apk I loade, the response time was rather slow. Also for no reason at all it came randomy up with "shutting down" messages. And it seems to execute some stored touch screens as it was going all over the place. At this point I'm going to be looking for something else. Again thank you for your help

Sorry it didn't work out for you. It continues to perform very well for me. Seems like each piece of hardware has its own quirks.
Is this for the Nook 2016 or 2018 hardware versions, or does it work with both?

Are you talking about the firmware upgrades for the original Nook Tablet or thinking about the various newer devices called by the same name?
This is for the OLD Nook Tablet BNTV250.

root access gone, how can I get it back?

I rooted my S9+ following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/guide-root-s9-oem-fix-t3763974
Since I tempered with some files in the folders data & android and a few others the root access for the modded camera app from zeroprobe says: „check root access“ and it won’t work properly.
In twrp boot mode, I tried wiping and all the apps I previously installed were gone, but upon reinstallation of said modding app the problem remains.
Is there a specific folder I should wipe or how would I go about starting from scratch?
And no, I didn't take a backup yet... (at least not on this phone, but on a second S9+, could I use that one?)
got it working again. As so often when assuming something, the problem was apparently not that I copied some files around. It seems that I needed to start magisk at least once. After that it worked. The modding differs slightly, maybe due to an update of the app. Just guessing here, but at least i got it working.
