I am attempting to change permissions for the folder which is inside Data folder in Internal Storage. My Device is Unlocked and Flashed with a firmware & with Super SU for root.
Using Root Explorer (Pro), I allowed Root access. I also went to root of System partition and mounted it to RW.
However when I try to change the permissions of a file or folder inside internal storage or even SD Card, I get the following error. "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes."
Explored for a while with different file managers. Here's what I tried and observed. In these steps I am using ES File Explorer.
- Open ES File Explorer -> Select Root Explorer -> Tap on it again -> Select Mount R/W -> Select All.
- Navigate to a folder -> Select any file/Folder -> Select Properties -> Has 3 properties displayed -> Readable, Writeable, Hidden -> Next to them there is an option to edit (Available only for some folders).
I next checked for which folders these options are available. Here is what I observed.
- Inside SD Card or Internal Storage, options to edit are NOT available . Checked multiple folders within them.
- I immediately navigate to /storage, and check the folder "emulated". These options ARE available.
- Within /storage, I check the folder which contains my sd card items. These options are NOT available.
- I then navigate inside /storage, and check folder "0", these options are NOT available.
What is the issue? How can I change the permissions for that folder?
