[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
Hey Guys i have often seen lot of Question regarding the same "How to set the file permission,sorry i am a noob please explain?"

well this we come across on all threads, i post this quickly.​

Reason being simple that we suggest some people to do as said below:

1) copy the file XXXX to your Internal or External sd-card.

2) push the file XXXX to sytem/xxxx folder.

3) set permissions to rw-r--r-- blah blah blah.

4) reboot your phone and see.

Then comes the question again from the same people as below:

Hey,

1) I have done accordingly, but really confused regarding File permission though please explain?

2) How to set File Permission?

3) what is rw-r--r-- blah blah i cannot get it? etc.

So this Simple Guide will defenetly help the people with the same.

Let me not go in depth regarding the same,Since this excellent Tutorial from Matt Doyle explain's in more detail about it

Understanding File Permissions- by Matt Doyle

In order to set the file permission all you need is to have Root explorer or similar type of File manager app been installed on your phone, with Root access.

when you open the File manager you see all your files and folder listed there, thats not our main concern, but something below each one of those file's or folder's, what we are really interested in like:

I take an example ofSemcAlbum.apk on my XP

Example 1:

and when you select Permissions in that pop up menu it appears as below.

Example 2:

as you can see in the pic above the permission is set to rw-r--r-- (644)

So in order to set the right Permission for a file, after you have copied the file to the relavent folder, all you have to follow is the below steps and also the Table guide below it.

1)Any File Manager app like Root Explore installed with root access (Do ensure to Mount as R/W (Read/Write)).

2)Find the File which you have copied to the appropriate Folder for which you have to set Permissions with the above installed file manager app.

3) Long press on the file to open a pop up menu as shown in Fig 1 above.

4)Set Permission accordingly ( been suggested by people for you) using the table guide below as reference.

5) Then reboot your phone for the same (Permission set) to take effect.

Table Guide for Reference

----------------------------------

No- Box is Unchecked, Yes- Box Checked

So, for example:

777 is the same as rwxrwxrwx

755 is the same as rwxr-xr-x

666 is the same as rw-rw-rw

644 is the same as rw-r---r--

I do hope this Guide will come in handy to all those people who want to set filepermission, but need some clarity upon the same.

Bricked my SGN2 probably wiped the the efs and now its corupted it says in recovery failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

I was on emotion note 2 rom v4.5 then i flashed droid turk v3 and then assasin rom v7 till then it was fine and then i decided to go back to emotion rom v4.5 the problem starts from here as soon as i booted my phone after installing emotion rom there was no gsm so i decided to revert back to assasin rom but problem still exists then i tried wiping data cache no change at all then i flashed stock rom 4.1.1 via odin and after that i am stuck on samsung boot screen loop tried installing cwm recovery and then wiping again nothing happens my phone is still stuck on boot loop.

My phone is in warranty but i can't claim it until the binary counter is reset as it is 4 now so is there any way to reset counter via odin or recovery.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontomes:
try a different cable/usb input on the computer, if that doesn't work download again and make sure the checksum is correct if possible

if that doesn't work try flashing philz recovery from odin, untick the reboot option, then boot into recovery without booting normally

then wipe everything and start over

good luck

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I am TIRED of waiting on Isis. Who knows if it will even accept Visa cards (CHECK CARDS). Google Wallet can do this today but AT&T is blocking us. Is anyone else tired of this??? I see very little noise about this on the Internet, and it confuses me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
Because there isn't much we can do about it. Its a competition and a niche one at that. Not a whole lot of stores are geared to support it, and the ones that do are tied up with either Visa or Google Wallet or Mastercard in contract garbage.

Just mod it in for now until the dust settles and a standard is made. I've been using it for months without an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:

Yeah I know what ya mean. But AT&T can't block those that know how to get it working on there device!:p

Kinda like myself.

But I understand your question, because Sprint is doing it no problem! Signed my buddy up on his phone and he loves the hell out of it. He uses it almost everyday!:eek::D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
I'm on AT&T and use it Google Wallet everyday just about. That's why I don't make noise about it, because there are ways to make it work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] @rbiter:
If you want to make noise refuse to use Isis and still use Google wallet when Isis does rollout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Birdsfan:
Then perhaps you can tell me how to get my wallet working again after switching Rom's and not resetting wallet? The dreaded "Device set up failed" screen is going to drive me to drink.....too late. The point of Milkman00 is a valid one, why do we have to do these cat and mouse games to make something work that hardware wise these phones are capable of performing? Truthfully, I don't understand why Google doesn't balls up and force the carriers to allow this app if it is indeed the carriers that are blocking it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I am absolutely disgusted over the whole thing. Especially since I haven't been able to get GW to work on my stock/rooted phone. There is no reason that I should have to do this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I would love to, but I can't even get GW to work despite everything I have done. So angry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
This is a major problem for me too. If they won't accept Visa, they are useless for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] boothcr79:
Not sure if it will help anyone, but I finally got my GW to work. Had to install modaco toolkit and xposed installer, then use the install files (and instructions) from the skynote rom page found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093870

Tried other combinations of things with no luck. Did those things with a reboot and it works for me. I may have even done too many steps, but it works. and thats what counts.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Birdsfan:
Are you running AOSP or TW? When I had GW working I was using SkyNote (awesome Rom by the way) but I like AOSP better. Except for the GW thing I couldn't be happier running Liquid 2.9. All this should be moot as GW should just fuc%ing work with the Note II.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I'm also using GW with Skynote:thumbup:. And it just works...

As I don't like aosp!!. Had it b4 on my skyrocket:o. As I prefer to have a working GW, and all the features I want to use works when I want them!

Just my 2¢®
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] boothcr79:
I'm running skynote (TW). Never really liked the idea of getting a phone and then disabling some of the functionality with AOSP. Had too many problems in the past with my GS3 on AOSP having no/flaky bluetooth, GPS not working, volume problems etc...

Edit: Stating this peaked my curiousity. I now run both with dual boot. Still am not seeing the benefits of AOSP.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] no girls:
you know whats even more stupid? i already got google wallet on my phone and i live in canada but when i try to pay for it, it declines me and tells me that international payments are not supported yet. its a credit card, i really dont know why google is blocking this for other countries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Now that I never heard of. Blocking International payments...?? But I completely agree it's a Damn credit card!! Come on Google:o:what:

Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Birdsfan:
I thought I remember seeing something about the end address had to be a US address for some reason. There were some comments in the Modaco Wallet thread I think (I've been to so many trying to fix the set up failed screen that they kind of run together now) about using a card that can be loaded but the card itself had a New York address or something like that.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I personally like the feel of AOSP and I think it runs a touch faster (just my opinion) but as far as issues I have not run into any. If anything the Bluetooth works better in my car then it did with a TW Rom. I have a car that's a few years older so that's maybe that's why, not sure.

Regardless, choice is the whole point of this thread, some like TW, some like AOSP or whatever....we have the choice! I would like to see us have the choice between ISIS and GW without having to jump through hoops to make it work. I will never use ISIS simply because the carrier is dictating it to us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] no girls:
Do you think Google checks blocks the location using the card address or location if the purchase?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Birdsfan:
I'm not certain but I recall seeing comments about having a US address as one of the criteria for having GW work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChandraKoo:
I've been reading so much my eyes are square and can't seem to find anything that helps me out. Some of the solutions to similar problems aren't working for me and so I figured I'd ask the community. You've been so helpful in the past! Even if you can point me in the right direction...

So, I have the HTC One X (AT&T type one even though it's with Telus) and I've gone through the steps in the past to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and have been able to flash custom Rom's, and when in my bootloader screen, it says the following:

*****Tampered*****

*****Unlocked*****

Evita PVT Ship S-on RL

Hboot-2.14.0000

Radio-0.23a.32.09.29

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

eMMCboot

Nov 26 2012, 18:37:14:-1

(I have TWRP v2.3.3.1)

Now, I'm wanting to S-Off and get Super CID but I keep getting errors when I try any of the different ways in the forums.

I've tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 but I keep getting an error message right at the very beginning.

Basically, I want to S-off so that I can downgrade my touchscreen so I can install some of the other ROM's out there. I've just been doing it by installing the zip and then flashing the boot img.

What am I missing?:confused: I feel like somewhere along the way I've missed something that is preventing me from getting S-off and Super CID.

(Please don't flame me!! I have been trying everything I find and can't seem to figure it out. I promise I'm not a noob that hasn't bothered reading! I've been reading and trying for about 10 days so far trying to get this)

Thank you in advance for any help!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] murderered:
Normally, you can only move apps into this space.

For using it as space, you could try to link a folder into the space and chmod it to make it writable without root-rights (thus i don't have tried this and don't know if chmoding is needed).

The other way without a folder is only a re-partitioning of your sd card. But i warn you in both ways there may occur big errors (when playing with partitionlayouts you may hardbrick your device)

So, this are only some ideas, but live with consequences if something not works afterwards.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myawan:
Try to shift your media files (mp3 & video) to your internal memory using root explorer. These files usually take most if the space.
