Have an A500, rooted, CWD, Taboonay 2.0. Trying to use ES File Explorer to edit the build.prop. But when I try to enable the experimental setting in ES File Explorer to give it root access, it says that the experiment failed and that this option is not available with my phone.
Any thoughts? SuperUser says it has given ES File Explorer root access.
I had the same problem, both with Taboonay 2.0 and again today when I reverted back to stock. Updating ES File Explorer through Market fixed the issue for me. May want to try it yourself.
That fixed the issue for me, thanks! I should have thought of that myself
I also say thank you. Doubly so because I was sure I had updated, but it turns out I had not

Hey guys I have recently updated to froyobread v20 from racht's floyo 0.20. I have root explorer and many other apps on it. After the update root explorer becomes missing. I tried installing root explorer but it keeps FC after that. I do not have access to root explorer
The built-in Root Explorer in Floyo is located in /system/app, and the whole /system folder will be overwritten if you update your ROM.
So you can flash racht´s Floyo again or extract it with unyaffs and take the explorer out of it.
i had the same problem this morning when i installed v20... i think it was because i was trying to install an older version of root explorer so it didnt work. i then downloaded it from the market again and installed that one and it worked hope this helps
I'll attach my question here, because cannot yet post in development section (where normally I would put this): I've found following bug: tethering in v19 and v20 just doesn't work. Also, cannot use USB debuging, so no log attached. What did I wrong?
try using barnacle wifi tether for tethering. what do you mean uwb debugging doesnt work? what happens if you try to turn it on?
Hi guys, I have an issue with the latest version of Wanam Lite MF3 v1.4
I use ES File Explorer and it used to work fine on Wanam Lite v 1.2 but today when I upgraded to v1.4 ES Explorer stopped working. Not completely but none of the root functions work.
When I open Root Manager, I get a message ES File Explorer has been granted SuperUser Permissions then after a few seconds i get another message " Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone''
I have done a complete Wipe (Cache / Dalvik) & Factory Reset via recovery before flashing v1.4, I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling ES Explorer but it doesn't work
ES File Explorer Version 3.0.4
I am not sure how i can fix this, I need root access so i can increase the volume of my S4.

Hello all. I have an S 4 Active by AT&T. It has been rooted by GeoHot's URL. I then installed SU and ES File Explorer. I'm trying to figure out a way to get Tethering to work. One of the suggestions was to pull a custom TetherProvisioning file from a guy from YouTube whose name escapes me at the moment. Then, change permissions on the file, go to settings, then turn it on, get the temp warning, then you're good.
The problem is that I'm unable to change permissions on the file. I've verified the phone is rooted, but not sure what step(s) I might be missing. I went into ES File Explorer's menu and changed the file system to rw instead of ro, but not getting very far. Tried using ES and SU and no joy.
Any/all help would be extremely appreciated.
You have to change the permissions on the specific apk I assume you installed. I have root explorer, not es file, and I just long press the apk and a menu comes up where I can change the permissions.
Hi, my rooted Kindle recently un-rooted after I did a factory reset to fix an issue with the sound. I have re-rooted using both KFFA and B4 Binary methods but now don't seem able to use Es Explorer to move Go Ex into my system/app folder.
Live Wallpaper and Widget picker both managed to move, however it fails if I try to change permissions on anything. I have used Root Checker to make sure I am definitely rooted so don't know what the problem is. The launcher from the KFFA kit works although has major issues freezing and loosing the side bar with the home and back buttons on.
I have downloaded from both play store and on-line into my downloads folder but when I attempt to move, I get permission denied. I can't change permissions in the download folder and Es is set up in root mode, SU is allowing access and the SD is mounted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

dam0fitz,
Can you afford Root Explorer? I think it is $4.99 and is worth every penny. I have had issues with ES file Explorer too, so I can not directly answer your question without looking at your device.
Check out Root Explorer here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
Root Explorer immediately activates Root at first launch, just FYI. Nothing to configure like ES File Explorer.
So I rooted by Galaxy S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.4. (please be specific, Im new to this). My device is ALREADY rooted and 100% confirmed, as I used root checker.
And now everytime I open gallery or do certain things, It tells me "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working."
I read on a thread you can Rename or replace the ContextService.apk file located under /system/priv-app to fix it, So where do I get a non corrupt copy? And how do I access the /system/priv-app area? Connect to a pc?
Also, wouldnt replacing with a non corrupt version be more important that renaming it and no longer working? Do we not need it?
update
So I downloaded Root Explorer app to find that "/system/priv-app area" and nothing. I can not find any "system" file or Priv-app area.
Thanks
You need to root your device. For file explorer try ES File Explorer for root browsing.
already rooted
