A: No. As of modern Android 14, Google has hardened restrictions. Even the latest SetEdit requires WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS granted via ADB or root. Q2: Can I edit the Global table without a PC? A: Only if your device is rooted, or you use a Shizuku-based editor after activating Shizuku (which initially requires either PC or root). Q3: Does clearing SetEdit data fix the error? A: No. The error is permission-based, not cache-related. Q4: My friend’s phone doesn’t show this error. Why? A: They may be on an older Android version (5.x or lower), have root access, or already granted the permission via ADB previously. Q5: The ADB command returns "Permission denial"? What now? A: Make sure USB Debugging is enabled and that you haven’t revoked debugging authorizations. Also, try running adb kill-server then adb start-server before retrying.
