Cannot read/write/delete file through Android app

Question

I am doing this through an app I am coding.

I copy a file from /persist/ to the internal storage of my app using SU " cpy " and then I " chmod " it to 600 or even 777 . I get " Access denied " exception whenever I read that file. I can read any other file I create. I also changed the owner and group from " root " to my app , but I can still not touch that file - delete, read, write all fail.

Answer 1

The solution was to chcon the file as well. Thanks to ChainFire!
