Hey guys I need your help... Ive searched and searched and used youtube etc and I still cant figure this out. Okay I downloaded a torrent file and now it is in my internal partition and it is nothing but an empty file, 0 bytes. Now, I try and delete it and it does delete, until I press refresh and then it comes back into my downloads folder. HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS?? Ive triesd and tried, Ive tried to delete it while its on the pc, Ive completely wiped my device and re flashed the Foxhound ROM, and after all my apps and data boot up, I go into my file folder and there it is... still there. When I try and delete it on the PC it says it is write-protected and I dont know how to turn the permissions off it.
I am using ES File Explorer and have Root Explorer but dont really know how to use it to do anything. I know I have to change the write permissions cuz it wont even let me rename it. So can someone please walk me through this, I know it isnt a big deal being there as it is an empty file, but if theres nothing there I dont wanna see it. and its annoying lol. Thank you in advance.
Jeff
It might help to share the directory/FileName etc, also its a guess but if you used an android torrent app to download the file... You might need to remove the torrent from the from the app... It might be re-downloading.

also tell me where to put my apps?? in data/apps or in system apps?? and till what amt(MB)??
As for resigning a zip: The way I do it is download the rom to my desktop, Right click on it and open with: select winRAR archiver delete out of system/apps everything I don't want ie facebook/stocks etc. While I'm in the drop in the apk's of the things I want and voila!. Click the 'X' at the top right and then drag that onto my memory card. Install as you do etc etc. No need to unzip or zip a file!.
Hope this helps!

Try Root explorer.
i just tried with root explorer says it cant the file is read only any other suggestions im lost here. If i can figure this out then i can fix my other problem changing my browser to the debinged one as well it wont let me rename it either saying i dont have the proper permissions to rename it to add the other browser.
Click the button in the top right of root explorer that says mount r/w

Hi guys,
I have just started using kik messenger and registered a few accounts.
But i nedeed to rest one of my accounts now i cant remember the e-mail for it.
My question is there a way to see what i typed before on my phone or what i typed in that app.
If im correct there was a file in root files that saves wifi passwords,is there a file for specific apps.
I need to learn it somehow.
Every app have a data base on the phone
You will need root access to see these files
Look for kik folder in data
But I dont know specifically where to find the file

First off, HI ALL. Awesome community!! OK, so I am having the same can't write to SD issue as everyone else. I am rooted with TowelRoot and on KK 4.4.2. I have installed a few of the different "SD FIX" apps and upon looking at the platform.xml file the proper strings are there but I still cant write to or delete from EXT-SD. I have tried ES File Explorer and Root Explorer ( Donate vrs). Another thing that I noticed is that all the tutorials I have read say that there needs to be a space between the " /> at the end. My platform.xml doesnt have that, in fact, none of the strings have the space between the " and />. I tried to do it manually and got the massive force close of a lot of apps. Reverting back to the original didnt help. I had to do a factory reset. That stopped the FC issue but the paltform.xml file is the same with the added string and the nonexistant spaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
what filesystem do you have on your card?
Either he has exFAT or FAT32. Can you tell us your exact device model? What ROM are you on?
Thanks for the reply. Model number is N900V and I'm on stock Rom rooted.
Considering that your platform.xml file is still stock, you might want to try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
This app will automatically detect whether you need the fix or not. If you do need it, it'll do it for you.

I DL and ran app. Says not needed. Does anyone have the original file so I can start this process over? Or will that bork something? I'm a noob but I am a little tech savy. One anomaly that doesn't make sense to me is that in my xml file, none of the strings have a space between the " and />. Does that make a difference? I'm confused. lol

Does it make a difference? ...make a backup of your platform.xml. Then put space in between " and >, save and reboot.

The whole xml is like that with no spaces. I originally used an SDFix app to do it. Never looked at it. It worked for a brief time then either I rebooted or something and it stopped. I added the space manually but noticed none of the strings had a space. Are they all supposed to have them or just to added/modified string? I did factory reset because I was getting the FC issue but that didn't reset the xml. Does anyone have the original so I can start the process over?
Try this. It already has the fix implemented. If everything else fails, you can still flash a stock rom and use the SD Fix app I posted before.

OK. I renamed the file to paltform.xml and renamed mine to bak. Moved it to the folder and did a reboot. So far so good, no FC. Upon using Root Explorer I still get the failed operation toast when trying to delete a file from EXT SD. If noone else has an idea I guess I will just have to flash a rom and try that. I'm going to del and reinstall Root Explorer and see if that does anything. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for all the help.
OK so I dont know all what was messed up but here is what all I did. I went in to del the Root Explorer app and found that I had converted it to a sys app with TiBu. I undid that process, uninstall and reinstall. That didnt work, so I stuck SD in my puter and backed up files and then stuck card back into phone, robooted into recovery and did a wipe of the SD. Then I put a few test files back onto the card mounted by USB cable) and tried to make folder and del a diff file and it all seemed to work so all is good so far. As I am typing this I tried something else I couldnt do which was instll the XDA app. It kept saying something like it wouldnt write to the ext sd card. Well. I just installed it with no issues. Hooray!!!:laugh: So I dont really know what the issue was but it all seems to be going fine now. A BIG thank you to all that helped me in this. And Nitrous, I clicked the THANKS button on yours!! :good:
