I'm quite new to the whole android scene .. Got a Nexus 7 couple of days ago rooted it using the tool kit:
Its now unlocked and has SuperUser installed.
However I want access to files in the system/media which I can get via Android Commander but it's saying Im not Rooted ( Meaning I cannot swap or replace any stock files on the device)
Any ideas?
Try using Root explorer or ES File explorer (enable root access in settings). Did you get a popup from SuperUser asking to grant/deny root access?

Root explorer lets you remount the filesystem you are in like below

So for instance now I have enabled Root access in ES explorer How can I swap files from the tablet to the PC?
Normally, you will have placed the file(s) from the PC you want to use on the SDcard first, then you can use the file manager to access where you want, move/copy etc...
Would suggest you have a decent backup (or nandroid backup) first and if you are replacing system files, it is always a good idea to have a copy of the original so you can put it back if needed.

Well I may have found the other stored Image files for the boot, but I cant move them .. meaning i still dont have root access? I don't know it's making me rage.

so before I went to bed, I was using Swype fine, no problems with it.
I woke up this morning and tried to reply to a text, after I've Swyped the word, and error prompt pops out.
here's a picture of it.

I've done some searching on Google, there was a problem like this on HTC Eris and all 4 months back when Swype was in the Beta period, now it's pretty much final(I'm guessing?) and I've never had any problems with any other firmwares (I'm on JPK now)[then again I stayed on JPK the longest].
XDA search is down so I'm unable to search, and hence I'm sorry if this has been addressed already.
I hope the solution won't involving me reflashing. finally settled down and bam, **** happened.
Thanks.
edit1: solved.

The work around is: Using a root file explorer (I used AntTek Explorer), you'll need to rename/delete the existing Swype files in order to reinstall the newer working version. To do this, start your root-explorer and navigate to /system/app/Swype.apk, and rename it (I added .bak to the file name). Then do the same for /system/lib/libSwypecore.so
Now reboot your phone, then rerun the Swype Installer! Wallla!

Swype came with Serendipity6.4 when I flashed it... How do I manually install swype after changing the files?

My phone is rooted and every file explorer I use has been granted superuser permissions but it still will not rename or delete the Swype files
I can't seem to find the / cust_backup file to replace the recovery.img any ideas?
I used superoneclick to root my u8800. I've tried holding the vol+/ vol- and power button together to get to the pink screen but when I plug in my USB data cable to my PC nothing comes up. Before on froyo it would and I could see the Image file which allowed me to replace the recovery.img
I've looked on the guides to upgrade to 5.5.0.4 and 5.0.2.7 and they all require me to find the ./cust_backup file which I can't find
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
did you sucessfully rooted your device?
You'll need a File Explorer with root permissions to find ./cust_backup folder.
yes it is successfully rooted, I've checked with various apps and superoneclick itself
How are you trying to access /cust_backup?
You'll need Root Explorer or something similar, because you have locked bootloader
Thank you so much it worked with root explorer!
I was using es file explorer but I guess it doesn't work

es file explorer does not have root access(by default, but you can activate it through es file explorer settings). It means that cannot access to the entire filesystem.
Glad it worked
Es file explorer, has root access(just needed to be activated from settings).

You should flash the unlocked bootloader from 518 rom(there is a thread called "get your pink screen back" by bluefish), to have more options to recover the device if something going wrong.

That's interesting! never knew that was possible.
Thanks for that
I have a Sprint GN3. I've rooted with CF Auto Root, flashed TWRP, flashed Jellybomb, and then restored back to stock from a nandroid backup.
I'm not sure when it started, but it appears that I can't write to sdcard0 or Emulated/0 without root or system permissions. For example, I can use Astro to create a new folder in extSdCard just fine, but it fails if I try to create a folder in sdcard0. It works from Total Commander or Root Explorer but I also get the "...has been granted superuser permissions" popup.
I can't download any files in Chrome or Dolphin, and downloads from Ambiance also fail, I'm assuming because it's failing to write to sdcard0, and Audible throws an error when it tries to create my data file in /emulated/0.
But setting the storage location for the camera to Device seems to work just fine.
Below are the permissions I'm seeing in Root Explorer. Does anything look obviously wrong? Is sdcard0 supposed to be owned by Root while extSdCard is owned by System? Or what else should I look for?

Try this app from the play store FREE worked great for me...
SOLVED!!!!
Had the same issue and its cuz the USB debugging was turned off in the Developer apps to my luck I had it on, but turned it off 1 week prior to my ph crashing... lol I tried EVERYTHING for 3 days and I'm tech savy lol What I ended up doing was using my fiance's note 3 to back up all her files via the SD card on her phone and then loaded it into mine and it worked like a charm. It's even a free app from the play store called "Root Browser" and NO you do not have to root their phone to copy their files... Copy the files, on the broken phone do the recovery mode (Volume Up + Home Key + Power Button) then load from external source. Be sure to wipe your data and all that before installing on the broken ph.... and bada-bing bada-bang! FIXED!
I suggest downloading that in the future and keeping that spare SD card in the GUN SAFE!!! just in case you happen to re-root your phone later lol
Hope this helps out since I about threw my Note 3 at the wall from all the looping frustration...lol Tried Odin, Kies3 and nothing... even the ABD cmd and no luck.... Idk why I didn't think about doing that in the past lol GOOD LUCK!:fingers-crossed:

I have TWRP installed but when looking through what's taking space on my phone via DiskUsage, it says there is a clockworkmod backup folder that's taking up 2.4GB of space. No matter how many times I delete it, it reappears again for no reason.
This is what I mean:

}
When I delete it, the "Freespace" section boosts up to 3+GB. Is there any way to get rid of this? I think I did something wrong when installing recoveries (I had clockworkmod installed at first but promptly replaced it with TWRP)

I couldn't delete the folder so I went into the folder itself and deleted the files individually. Is there a way to completely delete that folder? Using DiskUsage and the Root Browser on Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't seem to delete it. I don't even use Clockworkmod anymore hmm

If you're rooted you should be able to delete it. See if you can change its permissions to read/write. Just delete the clockworkmod folder and subfolders. Don't try to delete /mnt/shell/emulated

That was odd. It didn't work (even if im rooted or changed the permissions) but when moving it to the sdcard partition, it deleted it from there it was successful. Now, its gone and its contents are gone so I have an extra 2.4gb to use on my phone now. Thank you for the help! It's been like this for months.
I've just discovered that I no longer can write to my sd-card using MTP. Seems like a permission issue as I get a few permission denied errors like below in the logcat. When using MTP in TWRP recovery it works just fine.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Dont you have to grant MTP access to the Card
(Going of the logic of any file managers, When they require access to the SD Card
They point you to the a Folder Explorer to access the SD Card and grant it access
(root Explorer and so on all require this)
Could it be the same? I have yet to use MTP to transfer files, Download Root explorer, Copy files to Internal memory, then use Root explorer to copy to the SD Card.
You will be prompted to allow read / write access
(Does not answer your initial question, but a direction to go looking at maybe)
Sounds reasonable, but you would expect MTP to ask for rw access on the device. This worked until I flashed the latest firmware, now it's foobar.

Did you wipe or Keep Data?
A idea (A long short dont hold your breath)
Settings: Application Manager: More: Show System Apps
find External Storage and clear cache.
Reboot, try again.
I did keep data, so that might have influenced it. Unfortunately clearing cache didn't help.
The permissions for the mounted SD-card folder show up as "drwxrwx--x root sdcard_rw" which makes me think that the MTP process is not running as a member of sdcard_rw group.
OKAY, you rooted? Root Explorer is what am using. You can change the owner within the app.
