LG Nexus 5 Battery/CWM permission issues

I work for a device repair shop. The LG nexus 5 was turning on and off randomly, however it passed diagnostics. I personally believe it's the power button. I might disassemble the device and test the button later, however that is not my main concern. My main concern is that the CWM backup folder (hammerhead) is not a folder, it shows up in ES File Explorer as a file without an extension. I cannot rename the file, CD to it, copy it, or make any changes outside of recovery to it. I had issues with the recovery image being overwritten with the stock image on reboot, however I managed to root the device and make the recovery image stay persistent. I need to pull of the immutable CWM folder. I have tried ADB, tried changing R/W, changing permissions, but even when I try that it says "cannot chmod: permission denied", even when running as root. What can I do to get this file off? It contains raw data dumped onto the SDcard, which is vital for the shop (I might lose my job). I try to mount /sdcard for USB storage, but CWM won't allow it.

How to modify RO permission to RW having root access

Hi,

My phone is Xperia Z1 Compact / Lollipop 5.1.1
I've tried to modify /etc/gps.conf using FasterFix app --> failed
I've tried to modify it manually by using Fx file manager (with root access allowed, of course) --> failed, read-only system file.
I did the same using adb mount -o remount,rw /system --> permission denied
I tried to modify permissions using CHMOD --> permission denied

When typing su in adb, root access is granted.
SuperSu is installed, busybox too.

What am I missing ?

Android SD Write Permission Kitkat/Lollipop Support?

Hi guys, i'm using a Hudl2 Lollipop which is stock rom and non-rooted. I was wondering with the SD-Write permissions is there any way that someone could make an app or explain where i would need to write information for the SD to be able to use the apps?

I can use ES File Explorer to access the External SD Card but for apps such as Kodi and others I am not able to use them at all as each app needs its own permission. Where would i add them to the list or is there an app which can sort this out without rooting the device. Thank you.
