Root /system in Marshmallow - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
Currently have MM pre-rooted firmware installed, with TWRP and SuperSu 2.71.
Using ESFile Explorer Pro, I can gain root access to /, /system, but not /system/odex.app or /odex.priv-app or /odex.framework.
Anyone know why, or a work around for this?
Peace.

I would suggest either trying with another application (like Root Explorer) or SLiMM 1.9 (another MM based ROM, which works fantastically well, if you ask me).

Thanks, but no dice with Root Explorer or other apps.

If you have recovery, Try re-flashing SuperSU.zip and see if the root explorer applications work

Also trried that, but no luck..
Strange I can get root access to /system but some folders within it are excluded.
Thanks.

Go into superuser and clear root explorer. When you open root explorer you should be asked again to give su permissions.
If that doesn't work go to /system/bin and make sure you have a file called 'su'.

[Q] Full root CF LPY?

I have LPY running with the CF kernel which was flashed via mobile Odin. I have root access for programs like Titanium, but I cannot delete items from my system/apps folder. I use ES File Explorer with the options checked for root access and for rw on root. I figured it was just an issue with the kernel but I have been told that full root works for others. Does anybody have any thoughts as to how I could go about getting full root working? I want to delete that pesky GMS_Maps.apk so I can replace it with one with working navigation where I live. Thanks for any help!

Check the "Mounted as button" on top left of Root Explorer and make sure you can switch the system to R/W (read/Write)
It may default to Read/Only
I downloaded root explorer in case that was the issue. I click the rw button when I go into the system folder but no joy. When I press it, nothing happens. The state remains ro and the button remains rw.

Tried reinstalling cwm and su/busybox via cwm and still no dice. Thinking I might just have to live with it until another kernel comes out and I feel safer with all this installing zips in cwm. Still, if anyone has any thoughts, please let me know because it's a bit annoying to me.

It's not LPY, but I seem to have full root again after flashing the newest ics and installing su/busybox using the following:

Permission Denied Error

As of this morning, my kindle fire HD 7" was reset back vanilla launcher and un-rooted.
I have re-rooted but keep getting the error "com.estrong..fs.FileSystemException: Permission Denied" whenever I attempt to move my launcher files to system/app
My file explorer has root privileges and I do have my device rooted but it just kind of stumped me.
Does anyone know of a way around this; Has this happened to anyone else within the last 24 hours?
P.S:
My System Version is 7.4.3
File Explorer: ES File Explorer (With all root options selected)
Anyone have any idea?
I still have no idea what's causing the issue.

which method did you used to root kfhd !??
try to root your kf again if the problem is still unresolved !!
first root with restore and after that root with qemu. it's been my way of doing it trough all the amazon updates. it NEVER failed
if you have problems with superSU, just uninstall it and install superuser from market.

I feel like such an idiot..
It turned out the system folders weren't mounted.. So I was getting denied root access..
I had gotten the new version of ES File Explorer (Which I'm not used too), which was giving me the problems.. So I Downloaded FX File Explorer and saw that it wasn't mounted and just NOW finally found how to mount with ES...
Sorry for the post, I feel so freaking stupid.. =/

SuperSU and ES File Explorer on Lollipop

I'm on a rooted Nexus 4 with Lollipop and SuperSu v2.20. I've noticed that ES File Explorer does not request root permissions nor is it listed as one of the apps in SuperSU even though its installed and working fine. I've tried reinstalling ES but it still does not ask for root persmissions in SuperSU. There are other root apps that are going thru SuperSU fine. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Install latest version of SuperSU (2.23) and latest version of ES (3.2.3).

Thanks for the response. I was already on ES 3.2.3. I update SuperSU to 2.23 but still having the same issue where ES does not go thru SuperSU.

I had this issue so deleted and reinstalled ES File Explorer, but now I just get "ES File Explorer isn't responding".
I've Googled this error but no one else seems to be getting it.
So, I have switched to FX for the moment, till ES fix the problem (or I discover what is causing it)
Did you go under the tools tab and turn on root browser? I don't have lollipop so i can't try it out myself.

This worked for me, thanks!
Yeah no prob! Make sure to turn on show hidden files. It really comes in handy. Ive actually had some issues with ES lately where it corupts apk files when you manually push them to /system/app. So be careful its been a real pain in the butt...

use ROOT apps with unrooted Android 6

Hello I would like to know if it is posible.
I want to use some apps like titanium on my unrooted android 6
I have installed TWRP
so I think flashing the aps from zip in TWRP, setting root permission to the apps and placed on system apps, they are going to work like root?
Please help me, thanks!

No, that isn't how that works, sorry. There is no such thing as "setting root permission". Simply moving the apps to /system won't allow them to get root, because you aren't rooted.

and why other preinstalled apps can work as root?

They don't... Because root doesn't exist on stock devices.
They do run as the system user, but that isn't enough for any root apps to function alone, as root apps rely on writing to non-user writable directories, which the system user cannot do.
