Hello everyone,
I would like to modify some files in root/vendor/etc but i can't because of permission. I'm root, I can access file with solid explorer but can't modify anything. I try to modify attributes of the folder but it gives me a error.
Is there a bypass for the scoped storage of android 11?
Thx !
You can use ADB root to modify it by using terminal commands. Not ideal but a possibility

I would like to change the name of a file inside etc in vendor folder, do you know how I could do it ? Or could you point me a guide ? I'm not sure how to search a solution for this case

Apparently I can't run ADB root, I got "adbd cannot run as root in production builds", well I will dig further to find a solution

Try this file manager. Its a good root file manager and as it's old I might bypass scoped storage
which rom? right now i use arrow and it is the only one that can mount system as R/W.maybe there are others but a have not trid all of them.MIUI does not support it due to dynamic partitions,

I rooted my oneplus7T with magisk manager7.4.0 by using patched root.img and boot from patched img to directly install magisk, but can not write files into system. So AdAway can not work by this reason. But clocksync can work normally and rootcheck is successful.
By the way, the model is HD1905 and biuld number is 10.0.6HD65AA.
Need help. Thanks so much!

So you mean can not change system files like fonts and can not delete pre-installed apk?

You can wait for custom roms to achieve a smaller system footprint.
Or you can disable them for now, there is a way to disable some system apks through adb, but you should know what you are getting into before you proceed down that road.
Disabling an application takes away it's rights to run any code and also make the playstore skip the updates for that apk.
Other things can be changed using magisk without actually modifying the system, through different modules.

Hello There. I rooted with magisk today. Evrrything worked fine until I tried to change something in /system folder.
I have read in the internet that u wont have access to system folder if you are on root with magisk. It says u need to modify the .mirror folder. In this ./system/media I try to change the bootanimation. zip, but I cant change or delete the stock one. I think I do not have root acess in this folder. But I can use apps like Greenify without problems. Have I done something wrong? I gave different file exporer full root access I am using:
Mi10t Lite
MIUI 12.0.8 (GLOBAL)
Android 10
Gauguin
Magisk Version is the newest: 21.4
Magisk Manager: 8.0.7
I think i found the answer...:
System partition locked to read only in Android 10
Help, I don't know what I did but after installing a custom ROM, I noticed that my system partition cannot be mounted as read/write. I tried "mount -o rw,remount /system" command on a terminal

Either create your own module from scratch following the Magisk guide, or adapt one of the existing ones.
You're trying the mount -o rw,remount as root (means: you did a "su" before the "mount")?
Maybe a "blockdev --setrw /dev/block/dm-X" helps (see which dm- is mounted as system for the X).

hello
also i tried to modify mixer_paths_cdp.xml in / vendor / etc, but i am not able to get myself a magisk module
You can use for example this very simple Magisk module as a template.
Create desired folder structure in the zip file, add your xml files for modification, remove the AOD overlay apk/folder and try to flash it.
Keep TWRP at hand if you mess up something so you can delete the module from recovery if necessary.

Hey! I can not access the folder, although I have root rights. I use x-plore .Please tell me how to fix? Magisk is rooted for this program
That's intended behavior for recent Android versions. There's nothing to fix.
Stop trying to do things in the user root directory.
Maybe explain what you're trying to do or use an actual root app or root shell in adb to accomplish it.

Is that your base sdcard you can't access?? I use x-plore and don't have any problems creating or using folders in my sdcard. In configuration, make sure you configure your x-plore app

In normal Android 12 possible to get access. I know what I do. I need to access the folder to unlock fps in GRID AUTOSPORT
Create a subfolder and point at it. You probably don't need the root folder.

I use Mix explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixplorer.silver
And I am able to access the data folders and obb folders with it. It's a neat file manager, replaced solid explorer for me, I ran into that same issue with solid explorer not letting me connect to the android data folder even with root, but even unrooted I am able to access these folders with MiX

If I didn't need access to the root user directory I would have just bought an iPhone. Android is ruining itself
Is there a way now, to grant applications, like Total Commander, access to SD card? Preferably without root. To SD card, common. Well.
Hello I have been trying to look for the lockscreen.ogg file location. It has seemed to changed in Android 12 if I'm not mistaken. It was located in System/Media/UI but it seems that is no longer even there with Android 12. Does anyone have any idea where this is? Thank you!
Try system/product/media

That is exactly the spot I was looking for. For some reason I cant get root explorer to mount R/W to overwrite the old file. Root Explorer does have SU access as well. Any ideas?

There are one or more Magisk Modules that will make it appear for all intents and purposes that you've overwritten or changed a file. It will do what you need. Because root is systemless, you can't (and shouldn't want to) actually change or delete any system files for real. I don't know the name(s) of the Magisk Modules that will do that, as I haven't had a need, but many users in this section have suggested others use such modules to do something similar to what you want to do.
running "settings list global" on adb shell gave me this location "lock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg" I was gonna check on root explorer but forgot im not rooted right now but hopefully that is it.
I just am trying to change the sound when locking the phone.

Can you rename the stock file to lock.oggbak and then paste the new sound in obviously with the name lock.ogg?

You can not because root explorer is not able to switch to r/w. But I tried anyways and failed

you have to create a magisk module yourself and replace the file, with the one you want.
google around for a template of a simple magisk module, recreate the directory inside the magisk module where the file you want to replace sits on the phone (system/product/media/audio/ui), drop the new sound file there, zip the magisk module template and flash via magisk manager and do a reboot.
dynamic partitions don´t allow for r/w mounting. replacing the file systemlessly via magisk during bootup is the only way.
After root, How can I del file(s) in /system with rootexplorer.
The button of mount r/w doesn't working.

Which version of Android are you running? I don't believe that you can manipulate the /system files anymore on Android 13 as they are all read only - even with root. But hopefully, perhaps my file manager with root permissions just doesn't work as it hasn't been updated in almost two years =/.
Anyone else have any thoughts here?
@fil3s Does that happen to be working on A13?

It's my fault.The real question is files in /system could not be deleted.In my pixel 6 pro: unlock bootloader, install magisk and patch boot.img, flash patched boot.img with fastboot, reboot and directly root use magisk, everything is fine.But, I think the problem is /system could not be mounted

Wow! This is a fantastic file manager. The only thing missing is split view but that's really the only thing. Thanks for the recommendation. RootExplorer has been underwhelming for so many years.

I can copy and paste with the file manager that I use (FX File Explorer), however, I cannot cut or delete anything from /system. Are you able to cut/delete stuff from that section?
*Edit* - I'm starting to think that it's just my file manager =/
Update - Thanks @mkhcb . I'll give it a try in a week or two. I found a way to manipulate /system files using Magisk, haha. But after the next (and presumably final) A13 beta update comes out, I'll give it a shot!

So it actually does.
Go to a folder... Then hit the three dots... Then hit new window. You will then have 2 windows as noted in the app drawer.
From there you can toggle between windows or create a split screen.
PS. You can create an endless # of windows.
