If you are using an app like root explorer or even es file explorer with root options enabled you have to make sure your system is mounted R/W before you can make changes.

How do you mount the system as R/W ?
Thanks !

Are you using the google market? Allot of apps don't show in the Amazon market. If it isn't in the google market you could always sideload it.

<Root Explorer apparently cannot be side-loaded due to protected app. It appears that you need to install directly from the marketplace or another android application store.> - edit... others said this was incorrect and they were able to sideload Root Explorer. Not sure why we had issues. I was assisting a friend get his Market working and found that Root Explorer was no longer listed on Amazon App Store. We did find it on AppBrain, but the AppBrain app wouldn't install on the KF.
In the end we found that ES File Explorer had a 'unprotect system folder' option that allowed the Market APK to be moved into System/App. His market is now working great. Hope this helps. You should be able to fnd ES File Explorer on XDADev or on the Amazon App Store (free app).
I finally got it uploaded and now i save the apl files to sd card and when i go in to move them to system > app it sas that "you can not paste becasue the file system is read only and when i try to change the permissions it give a weird error
please help
i have ed but i cant find unprotected folder ou spoke of. please tell me if i did this wrong but i took the apk's and just put them right into the sd card....is that where the are supposed to go before the sys>app folder?
how about installing it via adb? adb install <path to apk>
help please!!
when i try to install the andriod market it says' "the application market (process com.andriod.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.........please advise, also i have the vending.apk in the sys/app and when i try to change the permissions it says that vending.apk permissions can not be changed because the file system is read only
thank you
every time i try to do this when i try to mount it with...C:\Users\Guest1\Desktop\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools.... it says "remount failedperation not premitted

You must not have root access. You should be able to change the file system to r/w if you have given superuser permission. Are you sure you have root access? What program are you using? (Super manager, root explorer, es explorer, etc.) Did you try using adb to change the permissions?

You could use ES File Explorer from the amazon appstore. Just enable root mode.

Just for reference, root explorer side loaded for me perfectly fine.
And you cant write to those protected folders without having root enabled.

My buddy kept getting an error that the app was unauthorized when trying to side-load. Tried to move it from sdcard/downloads to data/app and reboot and received the same error. Good to know Root Explorer can be side-loaded without having to install from the market directly if necessary. He was able to sideload all the other vvpGoogle apps and etc fine.
For anyone who can't download Root Explorer from the Amazon app store (I couldn't as I'm in Hong Kong) google root explorer apk and there are a couple of links with the apk for direct install - I think I registered for Mobiles24.com to get that and it worked fine for me.
However, I could only rarely change permissions with Root Explorer so I also searched for "Super manager android apk" which was better and easier to change permissions with. I also just started looking for Filestube/Megaupload links and then transferring by USB before installing with RE or SM
Still haven't got Android Market working - it loads and just says, "waiting for download to start"
I wonder if it's because it's my first Android and I don't have any devices listed?

I had the same problem. From what I can tell its the vending.apk
It would install and load fine, but no downloads would ever actually kick off.
Use the market apk thats in that gapps zip with the rest of the apps.
From what I can tell that's the newer market anyways and flashier than the vending.apk one.
That gapps one worked first try for me.
root explorer error
Hi all
New to this, total rookie, so please be patient
I live in Canada, got fire so trying to get droid market place. As far as I can tell I rooted it correctly using superoneclick. I cant access amazon market.place from Canada so I got root explorer from mobiles24.com and installed it on my kindle (I assume this what is meant by side install)
So now when I go to run it, iget the following error.
The application root explorer (Process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Thoughts on what is causing this?
There root guide for Linux/Mac includes the APK and automatically installs it. You could follow the steps the script uses to install, or just sideload it.
I side load'ed mine. No problem

This, although it's not as obvious to switch to Read/Write as root explorer. Menu->Setings->Scroll to the Bottom->Check Root Explorer->Yes on Superuser Prompt->Check Mount File System
What I did though was, I pulled the APK for Root Explorer from my data/app folder on my G2, then put that onto the Fire.
Then using ES File Explorer I installed Root Explorer.

[Q] Help installing Android Market

I have followed the instructions from pcworld.com(unable to post link due to noob status) which happen to appear on several other sites.
I'm having issues copying the vending.apk file to /system/app with File Expert. I think it's a write-permissions issue but I don't know enough to get around that. File Expert says that it's mounting this directory successfully but it's just acting like the file is being copied when it's actually not. Please help...
Use the method posted here then if you are still having problems come back and ask questions.

Thank you for your reply. The method I used is very similar to that one. I have been trying to paste the vending.apk into the /system/app folder as this tutorial instructed and it has also failed. I tried mounting with File Exper and with ES file explorer. Is there another app I should try to use to accomplish this? Doesn't seem like there's anything better in the amazon app store. Maybe I have to manually install an .apk of sorts?

Other users have reported lack of root privelages with file explorers from the Amazon App Store. At one point Root Explorer and File Explorer were removed, and File Explorer was the only one that's returned (now with limited funciontality). I'm guessing Root Explorer no longer shows up for this reason.
Either sideload the Android Market version of a file explorer from your phone, or download the .apk I posted here. I pulled it from my phone and it should have full root privelages. It worked when I was setting up my KF. This version was pulled prior to the most recent update, so it's a little outdated.
So basically what I've followed thus far was a combination of both instructions. I'm going to assume that since SuperOneClick said everything was rooted - that it is. So in terms of installing the android market, here's a tl;dr of what i've done and where i'm at:
- adb push googleframeworkservices.apk
- adb push vending.apk to the appropriate directory and assign its permissions.
- Used File Expert to install MarketOpener.apk(places an icon in carousel so you don't have to use alternate launchers)
- rebooted KF
The market opens up fine now but whenever I go to download something it either says "authorizing purchase" or "downloading" and never progresses beyond that. Please, PLEASE let me know if i'm omitting any piece of information that may help you guys assist me. Thanks for all your good work fellas, I appreciate it.
maybe you have a bad vending.apk - there are some bad versions around.
post you mine and try again with the adb method i suggested.
posted framework just to be shure.
did you install the vending.apk ? look at point 7 of the guide i linked in carefully !
good luck !

ES Explorer & WanamLite MF3 V1.4 (I9500)

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.

I did, I tried Root Explorer & that worked fine.. so i think it is just the ES file Explorer issue.

Edit. Sry root Explorer just read it. Try es file Explorer and check root permission.
Root Explorer Pro is top one, permission is ok.
used NextApp SD fix, still same error
EDIT: found the reason, i was moving some songs, some of them has symbols, renamed those, and managed to move all!!
Stupid Google!(^o^)
