How to change file permissions of an executeable pulled into an image

iirc 755 had the executable bit too, right?
yes, 0755 is used for root folders & root executable binaries usually
Remembered this since Android root days
Okay, I might try that
I did chmod +x and setting to 644 after and it doesn't work, so maybe the second one overwrites the first
yeah, the second one overwrites the first
Something is still not working
Set it to 755
