Using Root File manager I am unable to paste the directory onto my SDcard I tried it over and over and it didn't work. I verified that I have true root and it still doesn't work.

Make sure you turn on R/W for that directory/partition.

you are not pasting the directory
you are pasting the file..... one of them....called wallpaper

if you still have trouble open android terminal and show us the line for
/storage

for this command

Code:

cat /proc/mounts

good luck

Ok I said directory instead of file....so to correct myself I was trying to copy the file named "wallpaper" to a folder I created on my SDCard named "files". Screenshot attached.

/data is rw so too is both storages

/storage/sdcard0 for me is removeable
sdcard1 is the internal for me

2) ok show us your storage rw permissions pls

In case we are having a blonde moment, giggles I have lots
------Forgive me....but you need to be inside folder to paste?

I'm not sure but I Think this is what you are asking for.....as far as being inside the folder I was.

gosh I fell for my own joke...I meant files permissions...but I am running out of time so try this instead.....using android terminal

Code:

su
cp /data/system/users/0/wallpaper /sdcard/files/wallpaper.jpg

that should copy and rename file to an image
then with root exporer you should now be able to click it and open it as an image

good luck

This is what I get when I enter that string....I also tried it with /sdcard1/ change and that didn't work either.......

show this in landscape photo pls

Code:

ls -al /sdcard/files

Leaping ahead ....I think the folder does not exist

what you are looking for ....is the letter d for directory at beginning of output
if dir or file do not exist.....error will be something like file not found

in the meantime, rotate your phone to landscape position and try this as well

Code:

su
ls -al /storage
ls -al /sdcard

I want to see what your internal storage is linked to
ideally as you have no sdcard-removeable it should link to
sdcard0
