This happened, because xbin is the folder is where the su binaries are installed.
If you delete that folder you automatically lose access to root.

I understand. But how to restore xbin folder.....:crying:

Ateekujjawal is right, the root permission files are stored in xbin folder along with other system files.
I can think of two options to restore it:
1. open the flashable zip of the ROM you are on, extract the xbin folder. then use aroma file manager through your recovery to paste the xbin folder in /system. And then flash the UPDATESuperSU.zip to restore root access.
2. Backup your data, and re-flash your ROM

Thanks a lot. Ist working for me . Now I have supper users permission again.
:laugh:

in aroma file manager the xbin file which i extracted is not there. there are other files not available as well, like the bluetooth folder for example

I have root but I can't delete/write files in system directory

Hi everyone.
I have
Android 9 + TWRP 323 + Magisk 16.7 + Magisk.apk
Root checker said that I have root.
SolidExplorer and Root Explorer can read root directory but cannot delete/write files in system directory.
Titanium Backup works good and restore applications.
What is wrong?
Thanks in advance.

It's working fine for me. I just added a folder to /system, then added a text file to that directory, then edited the file without issue. Android 9, rooted using Magisk 16.7 Beta. Do the file explorers have root permission in Magisk?
One thing that happened to me the other day: I felt like an app (Fi Switch) wasn't properly prompting for root. I went into Magisk's root settings and changed the Automatic Response for root access to "Grant" from "Prompt". Went back to Fi Switch, did the thing that required root, and it worked. Checked Magisk again and it had now registered FiSwitch as a permitted root app. Then I changed the setting back to "Prompt" (not sure it really matters., but it feels safer lol).
It's almost like it just wasn't asking for root, then it was getting denied. Temporarily allowing it fixed it.
I have no idea why that worked for me, but maybe it'll work for you

Rooted but can not mount system folder to r/o

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.

Correct, system is permanently RO.

Thanks all.

I'm actually working on this issue. I'm going to try to edit some img files and get back to everyone

scoped storage

hello
after update 12.0.1.0 EUXM android 11, in internal archive or even in sd if I click on android - data, the folders no longer appear

Root the phone and use file manager which can open all folders (e.g. Total commander).

Question LOCKSCREEN OGG FILE LOCATION

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.
