dcs18 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 What exactly are you trying to do . . . . . . . . . and, what is the error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have copied fresh copies of the required 4 files from my bro's phone and place them in my phone. Then I have moved the identical 4 copies of the files (the ones in my system that are modified by Xposed) to the SD card (in case I need them). Then I tried to move the fresh copies to the required place but "access denied". Then I realised that the permissions for the files must be changed before moving them. I long pressed on one of those files and in the menu there is no "permission" option shown. I can't even move the old 4 copies that I have placed in the SD card - access denied. Now, in this situation if I reboot my device, it may get bricked.What I have tried so far -Reinstalled X-plore - not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I did a full fledged root from the link that you have redirected me. It's working fine and the "permissions" option was showing up few moments earlier before I moved the files to SD card. Then suddenly on the main operation time the "permissions" option vanished from the list dramatically.I doubt, somehow, the system had interfered with the root access. Is there a way to restore the root without restaring the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Why don't you use the ASUS feature you were talking about:--Thankfully, asus has provided "reboot to previous firmware v2.21.xx.xxxx" option after failing to instal the OTA update during boot which saved my day. This update is said to update my firmware version to 2.22.xx.xxxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This update is said to update my firmware version to 2.22.xx.xxxx. This is the last thing that I'm gonna try if everything else fails. I'm not sure on what circumstances asus provides the recovery option. If I reboot and asus don't find those core files, it may brick my device.And. now I uninstalled X-plore to do a fresh instal but when I try to instal, it says "app not installed" and yes it's not installed.

dcs18 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yes - you evidently seems to have lost root privileges on your device.Did you try navigating to your root folders using Wondershare MobileGo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts connecting and then stuck forever.Just quit BayWatching with your darned X-plore - did you try navigating to your root folders using Wondershare MobileGo, instead?What TWRP? I never have created backup with that or ant other else.TWRP - the basic objective of gaining root privilege (brings you the power of a custom recovery - as you want to . . . . . . . not how ASUS wants you to.)Look what happens when you don't pay attention to sage advice.
