Bricked Note5. In TWRP Recovery 3.0. Need to delete folder in /system/app. Error:1

[SOLVED] - Apparently, I lost the ability to *read* also. When I went into TWRP, I must have clicked the "keep the system read-only" button. That would prevent me from deleting files/folders. I hereby select one card from the Smacktard pile.


Evening all,

Sprint Note 5, Rooted.

Tried to manually make an application a "System App". This is what happens when you give a monkey the *tools* but not the *brains*:confused:. I'm plenty technical, but I've not done this before.

I installed an app, then went into the data\apps directory and copied the entire application's folder into \system\app.
When I rebooted, the phone gets stuck on the Sprint LTE screen.
When I boot into TWRP, and into Advanced / File Manager, then go into the offending directory, I get the following:

File Operation Complete
Failed
rm -rf "/system/app/com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre-1" processes ended with ERROR: 1

I get similar messages when I chmod, delete, move, or rename.

Any assistance you could provide would be MUCH appreciated. I'm bricked and cannot work until I get my phone back.

Thanks!
Pete

Note5 - Poor Call quality

I got a Note 5 (locked to a local provider). After two weeks of usage, I am experiencing a few issues. These are:

- The voice quality (during calls only) at my end is not great. Its kind of heavy as if the speaker is blocked with something. Note: The audio quality when playing songs is satisfactory.
- On some occasions when I make a call, the call goes through but the person at the other end wont hear me but I can hear him. I have to disconnect and dial back.
- Camera laggy. I have clicked around 500 pictures in about 2 weeks.

I am a bit confused that it is a provider related issue or a device issue. It will be great if forum members can provide me some pointers and help me fix these issues.

Note: The device is with Telus (in Canada) running android 5.1.1
