Root Browser tells me my \system folder has read write access, and I was successful in renaming the file in \system\app to block OTA. However, ES File Explorer tells me that my \system folder is read only. If that was the case, wouldn't I have gotten an error messages when renaming the file?

Strange you posted something like that. I was always scared to post something like that myself at one point lol. Does ES have root granted? That seemed to fix that issue with mine a few months ago.
Ya it does. Lol scared to post that why?

I'm always unsure if my question is a stupid question. You then get attacked by all kinds of people lol.
I'm not sure what to say about ES. In case your antsy you can always free the 2 updater apps with root uninstaller or something similar. This has worked for me in the past. One is something like OTAUpdate and there's another one that says something like firmware updater or something like that.

You can set the permissions on individual files. Might be why the folder shows read only but you where able to rename the file.
If you look at my screens hot of root browser, you'll see that. The system folder has rw for the Owner (me since I'm rooted)

If Root Explorer said it changed it, I'm sure that it changed it. Try to view the file on ES and see if the name reflects the change.
ES file Manager now has an option for Root Explorer (turn it on or off). If it's off it won't request superuser access.
Look under settings in ES file manager, scroll down and turn on Root Explorer.

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?

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.

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?

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.
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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.
Hey,
My phone was working fine until this morning, now I can't use camera, download anything, use the gallery or other things that require storage however i can take screenshots use snap gallery instead of stock...
How would i fix this?
Example of the problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Probably gonna need a factory reset, maybe a full flash to stock.
Well, considering the nexus 4 doesn't have an external SD card but rather a partition on the internal storage called sdcard there should be a way to fix this on the software side. Are you rooted? If yes use es file explorer and try to access your storage from the root directory (/sdcard/).

Yes, I'm rooted. I'm on Paranoid Android 4.3
I've used Solid Explorer (like es explorer) and I can access sdcard and all my files are still there
So it seems the partition is not broken. I think the /sdcard/ path is a symlink. The actual destination on my device is /storage/emulated/legacy. Maybe the link to /sdcard/ is broken. Usually apps just access /sdcard/, might be the reason why it's not working. I'm not familiar with that kinda stuff, though. Maybe someone else can shed some light.

Yeah /sdcard/ is a symlink hopefully someone can reply with advice
Due to the fact that you can access the symlink with a file manager I doubt the problem is the symlink itself but maybe the permissions?
This is what mine look like. I've used script manager app because it shows permissions and symlinks easier.

Dirty reflash the ROM from recovery, should fix the problem.
Lol your code signature is not very good, are you a beginner? Delphi?

Seriously... a signature is limited on characters and this is just a simple little if statement; it's not supposed to be good code and clearly you're the beginner if you don't know what language it is and question if it's delphi.
