[Q] Can't write to system/app in Slimkat topic

Hello people,
I have a moto G XT1032 and I've been using slimkat for about 2 weeks, everything working perfectly, till one day I flashed something wrong and I soft-briked my phone. After fixing it and fresh-installing again slimkat, Titanium Backup doesn't uninstall system apps and I cannot install system apps either - with Root Explorer mount /system/app to R/W, paste the .apk and change permissions, reboot - the app is still not in the app drawer and I can't see in my installed apps, but it is in the /system/app folder with the right permissions.
I've searched a lot about this and I found posts recommending mounting system with some adb commands, but I've been uninstalling/installing system apps since I have android and I never had to do anything like that.

Am I doing anything wrong? Any possible solution without doing a full wipe?

Thanks in advance

[Q] LG L80 Dual || SDCard Write Access || Anyone??? topic

After I bought the device, first thing I liked to do was to make SD Card as the default location. But this device does not have this option. So, used adb to change the location from internal to external storage. But when I started installing apps, it was giving insufficient storage space, though I was having 300 MB in my internal storage & more than 5GB in external storage. Moreover, bluetooth file transfer was also not possible. In one sentence, access to SD Card is not permissible under any circumstances, in this devices.

After surfing, I came to know that KitKat has prevented SD Card write permission due to some issues. Same surfing has also told me how to do what.

1. Root the device - Did it from the post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2732311.
2. To edit the platform.xml file, putting a string under an element of EXTERNAL_MEDIA_WRITE_ACCESS.

But none have worked. Unable to set SD Card as default location.

Does anyone can guide me, step-by-step, how get the write access in sd card from this device?

Thanks

Documents app crashes when selecting sd card root for 3rd party write permissions. topic

HTC ONE (M8) Troubleshooting
I recently updated my HTC one M8 (India) to 5.0.1 Lollipop (Stock HTC).
3rd party file managers require me to select SD card root directory for write access. Accordingly it takes me to the documents app. Then when I slide from the left it shows Internal storage and a blank title showing the SD card. When I select the SD card, the app (documents) crashes. And I am unable to select the root directory, and therefore I cannot use 3rd party file managers. Please Help!

SD Card Write Protected topic

I received a replacement s4 (again...) and now I cannot write to my SD. Says that it is write protected.

I don't have an adapter to try the switch, is there any way I can fix this (I don't care if I lose what is on card, I have already backed it up)

[Q] Gnex Brick Mount Fastbood Write Fail help :'( topic

Hi everybody,
ok I will try to make this short :)

I have an experienced user level ROM, recovery, boot, ..
My phone is BRICKED! Is it?

AT THE MOMENT:
- I get into fastboot mode
- I get into odin downloading mode
- I can't start in recovery mode
- I can't start bootloader mode
- I have a connection with a laptop (win XP, as win8.1 didnt work for me)
- The computer can communicate with the phone in fastboot mode
- The computer cant communicate with the phone in Odin mode (at the moment Odin PC SoftWare doesn't recognize the phone)
- I am sure the drivers are installed correctly now. Thanks to the guide with fully stripped drivers.

- Using different, multiple different, no thousand different methods I tried flashing the stock OS (Yakju 4.3)
- I like SkipSoft Android ToolKit (Although I used fastboot and adb commands, I find the toolkit to do the same thing..)
- I always get an Error, when the process of flashing starts.
> PC says : Error
> Phone (in fastboot mode) says: FAILWrite Fail

INTERESTING:
- While I still was able to get into Recovery, the phone couldnt mount the sdcard (=> the internal drive)
- Some of the methods I use make the phone CRASH
> means the screen stops at its position and slowly turns completely purple
- The phone power button doesnt start the phone, to get the phone doing something at all I have to trick it:
..> I plug it into the wall charger
..> I take the battery out
..> I put the battery back in
..> I wait
..> I can get into 3 routines:
^Normal starting routine (of course stuck at google start up, since no Rom is installed)
^fastboot mode (VOL + & - & Power)
^odin mode (VOL - & Power)
..> Then I can just plug the USB cable into the PC
- 2 days ago I had (every single version) of Odin PC Software recognizing the phone (phone was in Odin mode), but it also failed after trying the recommended and unrecommended settings. Ended with an error message.

HOW:
I left my phone overnight in the car (Temp: -2 deg C), while Im sure spotify and maybe other consuming apps were playing.
Next day, my phone battery was empty and I couldnt start my normal ROM. (I had Slim Rom installed)
It was stuck at the "Google" start up display.
First intentions showed that it might be more than just the Software :/
Many days and so many hours of work, research and reading in forums, I decided to take a shot and ask here.
I appreciate everything xda-members have done for me already. Though I never needed to register for my earlier questions.

Thanks
