I'm trying to copy an apk file from the root of my sdcard and paste it to system/app folder. It's not letting me paste to that folder. I have seen in the past that there is certain things you have to type into terminal emulator? Someone please help me lol. This is driving me nuts.
Thanks
Tom
You may want to try root explorer. Don't quote me on this but I don't think astro has root permissions.

Astro can't mount the directory as rw. Root explorer is a couple of bucks and really simple. That or do it over adb.

Hi,
Ive been trying to root my MT4G trhu this: (Gfree method)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549
And on the step 6, where I have to copy the files unziped to /data/local:
1st-. I have the "/data/" But LOCAL doesnt exis,t. And i cant create a new folder.
2nd-. It does not let me copy anything INSIDE THE PHONE. all it says is "that Cant be copied."
Any suggestion!?
It wont show the files for you because your probably using astro file manager. You have to use Root Explorer. This program shows the data/local file. I'll PM you.

You don't have the root access enabled in File Expert. Go into its settings to enable.

+1 for root explorer. Also this thread is kind of pointless.
I use root and astro, each for different purpouses. I generally use astro because it just works. I use root explorer to fiddle around with the os, also unzipping in it does not seem to work and the ui is a bit depressing so that's my main reason for astro. (Root explorer therefore for you is kindof pointless if you don't have a rooted phone)

Anyone knows where can the backup folder be? I searched on CWM folder but it's not there. I'm trying to move the backup files to my computer.

I had cwm made many backups and just changed to twrp but my internal storage is all filled up and I cannot field the previous backups to delete... Any help?
I am having this same problem too and am searching for solution... I have asked all over the forum and also googled but to no avail. Help please....
Need to search harder...

But my /data folder is empty. I use root explorer and couldn't find anything in /data folder. Was previously looking for WPA_supplicant for my ap list also....
I am currently using root explorer and es explorer v3. ES explorer v3 doesn't have the root settings. I'll download the stable version from play store and try.
Update : I've got it working. This means only es explorer can see CWM backup and wpa_supplicant

Yes it does as I'm using it! Seriously, follow EVERY instruction on my post and look at the pictures
I did some testing on my own. Root explorer works too. Just need to toggle r/w from root location. Data folder populated after that. As for the latest es explorer v3, toggling root explorer will enable data folder contents to be viewed.

Do you have root access? If you do download file explorer that will ask for root access and that will give you deeper access into the system files. Try root explorer or es explorer. For es explorer, obtain root access in the app's setting menu.

As mentioned by scream4cheese, you must have root access to even see anything in /data or /system, etc.

First, you have to be rooted. Second, you need a root file manager installed such as Root Explorer (paid app worth every penny) or ES File Explorer (free, but I never used it) and there are others. Navigate to the system file you want to change permissions on, allow read/write access, long-press the file, choose permissions. rwx, means to put checkmarks in read, write, execute for Owner, and check Read for Group and Others.
Thanks for the info...
