It seems my android\OBB folder is write protected. I can't install certain apps that need to write to this folder. I can't seem to unlock it and have been trawling Google for solutions.
I can delete the folder, then create a new OBB folder, but I still can't copy a folder into it. I'm using a rooted EU rom if this helps. Thanks
It is rooted device with EU rom on it
Can someone check on their phone if they can copy a file or folder into the obb folder? I'm getting very desperate for a fix

I have faced this exact problem a few weeks ago. It started after I flashed a ROM, MiRum if I'm not mistaken. Tried deleting it via TWRP and make a new folder, changing the folder permission, no luck. I don't know how exactly I got my issue resolved, but I think wiping your data (storage) will do. Just backup your data, wipe your device clean, reflash your ROM, restore everything, and you'll be good to go...I guess.
I'm sorry if I can't be of more help to you in this regard.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess this might have to be the last resort as I can't seem to find any other fix. I have tried the permission stuff in twrp file explorer also and this doesn't help. Cheers

Thank you for this. I have seen this and unfortunately on miui 10 this option is not there. The only option for mock sd card is to formal it. There is nowhere to enable/disable it. Not that I can find with developer options also enabled.
have you ever try to toggle "MIUI Optimization"？ will it help?
or you may check the group/permission of the folder, here is mine
6815767 drwxrwx--x 72 root sdcard_rw 4.0K 2019-06-13 10:12 data

It seems to me that you have problem either of your root or correct permission of bootanimation you try to install. What happened when you try to install it?

You used file explorer to check out your /system/media folder right? which one? But if you delete something there it not supposed to be there if you have correct rw permission there. I first think that it could be problem with bootanimation you try to install but if you can't delete something there for good I guess first look at your permission to write that folder.

I tried many and different bootanimations not just one and with different ways. I'm rooted and I use the root browser and the permissions are right. But the when I delete the original bootanimation or overwrite it after entering the media file it is there. (when I tried with recovery I got an error)

Root again. Use "Easy Root Tool". If it stuck cleaning part just run it again and you should be good.
I was trying to change Xperia S bootanimation last year. Ending up to find that problem is much deeper then basic root and root explorer.
Didn't find the way how to apply custom one.
As I remember is somehow connected with bootloader or kernel

Don't know about Xperia S but with Z1 I can change bootanimation. I use X-plore by Lonely Cat Games with r/w rights and have zero problems.
I would suggest you do not have root.
Check if you have killed the ric.
Goto sys/kernel/security/Sony_ric and see if the file called enable says 0 or 1. Also check it just after a reboot.
If it's a 1 you will lose write permissions to the system partition after a reboot, which explains the symptoms you are talking about.
Changing the boot animation had nothing to do with kernel or bootloader, you just have to change the bootamimation.zip in system /media

I was trying to cleanup carrier bloatware off my phone and I think I deleted some apps that were critical.
I deleted ItsOnService.apk (NetworkSystemProvider) and ItsOnUID.apk. Unfortunately I didn't make a backup of them. Then, wifi and LTE/3g stopped working (even if Wifi is connected, internet is permanently not available).
The worst part of this is that the issue persists after reflashing back to stock. The problem is I don't think the stock roms contain the /carrier directory. And now I cannot complete the setup wizard because at first boot, I'm forced to select a wifi network and once I connect internet is not available, so the wizard won't proceed.
Is there anything I can do? If someone were to send me the missing APKs could I use recovery mode and sideload them?

I do have the rooted image, as well as the stock image, I have applied both, the problem still exists. I think when I reroot or reflash it's not writing the /carrier directory, that must have come from somewhere else. I confirmed this by unpacking the TOT file and looking inside, it has all the apps, but it does not have the /carrier directory. Do you have ItsOnService.apk and ItsOnUID.apk? Maybe I could try sideloading them?

You need to know exactly what you deleted. The itsonuid is in the system/priv-app directory. I didn't see the itsonservice but didn't spend much time looking. You need to know if you deleted things out of carrier partition or vendor partition or both... Get a list together...

Thanks, I can confirm what you're saying, I did find ItsOnUID in system/priv-app, so at least I can restore that one. However, I am pretty sure ItsOnService is in /carrier and I deleted it using ES File Explorer. I had deleted ItsOnUID with Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup was not able to find ItsOnService, so that's why I had used ES File Explorer, which confirms that ItsOnService must have been in /carrier.
Since it looks like there is no /carrier directory in these TOT files, is there some other way I can get ItsOnService.apk? Can anyone out there send it to me?

So I tried for quite some time today to get this solution to work only to find myself completely unable to rename or delete the liboemcrypto.so file. I am rooted and running the stock vzw 6.0 rom but I can't figure this out. Tried a couple different root file managers and nothing worked. Some would tell me the rename/delete failed, others would act like it worked and then the file would still be there unchanged. Any suggestions? I assume I'm missing something simple...

you solved it ?
I was using a ROM with Android 8.1 but after returning to the NovaOS (Nougat) ROM whenever I try to add any secure lock screen method (PIN / Pattern / Pass) the settings application force closure. After trying to set Pattern method the settings app just force close, but after trying to set PIN/Pass method it actually set the pin but also force close and I cannot try again to set others methods because it ask for the pin and keeps closing.
This happens in any TW or Stock based ROM. But in AOSP/LineageOS ROMs works normally.
Things I already have tried:
* Full wipe
* Reinstall at least 5 different ROMs
* Installing ROMs with and without root/gapps
* Format /system and /data
* Encrypt and decrypt phone/Microsd card.
* Changing Kernel
* "Fix contexts" in TWRP
* Smash the phone to a wall
I do not know what I can do to solve this problem, I don't want to use my phone without a secure lock/fingerprint or use Oreo ROMs, can someone help me?
Maybe try flash stock firmware using odin first and then try other roms.
Even after flashing Stock Rom through Odin the problem persists, omg...
Tried flashing Stock and doing full wipe after too but no sucess...
I think some protected/secure partition are messed up, because I noticed now my wifi password are not being saved after a reboot too, and after I flashed Stock Rom via Odin and phone reboots to Stock Recovery to finish the process, at this point I get a error in recovery like "cannot find /misc partition", I dont know if this is normal or not.
Here is more detailed logs from adb logcat, honestly I'm starting to get afraid of this not being possible to solve, please guys, I need help, there so much experts and experienced people here, you are my last hope

Hi guys,
I have the same problem and I have not been able to give the permissions to the efs folder, I'm using root eplorer and giving rw permissions.
The efs folder handles these 0771 permissions and I try to change it to 0775 but when restarting the phone the changes are not applied.
please help:crying:
Same issue here, is it possible to make the change persistent through reboots? I can't set screen locks :/

Exist an easy way to export magisk module list? Export and import?

only the one i have installed. full list for backup / reinstall purpose. installed and not active. xposed ha a function to export /import list. I like it.
If you just need a backup, make a backup of the Magisk image (/data/adb/magisk.img). That's where all modules are kept (for now, this might change in a future version of Magisk).

Zip files are not saved. It gets extracted in to the location as mentioned in this thread. But each time you flash a module the zip file is downloaded in to Download folder of your internal storage. Save it for future use.

I actually havent tried it since the change from the img method
I can tell you i do backup and restore the magisk.db file....i have a Galaxy Active2 Watch, and if it even sniffs root i have to reset the watch and start over to get Samsung Pay working. So i flash the ROM/GApps, then Magisk, reboot and setup the ROM and Magisk, set my Android ID back to the previous one (to avoid having to reset the Watch, and have it connectable in Gear app) then copy the magisk.db to /data/adb, then reboot. Then enable MagiskHide, and hide Magisk Manager. When i restore my apps the Samsung ones are already in the MagiskHide list and Samsung Pay works as before, once i reconnect the watch.
Next time i flash ill try copying back the /data/adb/modules and let you know
rodken
Just a quick update
I was about to flash a new ROM for testing, and thought about doing the test...copy the modules folder from /data/adb, and restore on new ROM and then realised that not all modules im using are going to like that, as some set symbolic links during install and some now use filesystem overlays as well (thinking busybox and Vanced Youtube)
Ive just decided rather than copying im going to stick with what works 100%, and install them by hand one by one
