Hi i rooted using the gingerbread hack from the acer iconia a500 thread regarding root. Superuser was granted. I installed ES Explorer . . . I was able to copy original supplicant from system/bin to another folder and renamed it wpa_supplicant.old. Then, I unzipped the xoom supplicant using ES Explorer then renamed it wpa_supplicant. However, when I try to paste the file into system/bin ES Explorer won't allow it.
Please help!

Use root explorer. It worked for me.
first please dont bump your thread its annoying i promise someone will get to you. secondly your problem is in es file explorer in the settings their is an option called "Root options" in their you need to tick "Root Explorer" and then tik "Mount File System"
it then allows you to write to the bin folder i think. if not then im affraid youll have to use root explorer
So I'm trying to install xRecovery using this link and I download the .zip file and unpack it. First I try to "Automatic Installation (recommended): Open xRecovery installer app and tap "Install xRecovery" but I can't find the xRecovery installer anywhere so I try:
Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xrecoveryZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw
but when I go to the /system folder there's no /bin folder and I have zero clue what to do
PS - as far as i know i've successfully rooted my phone using superoneclick

First make sure your phone is rooted, then install Busybox from Market. Make sure Busybox is installed on xbin, not bin..
Got into the same prob coz its installed on bin, tried to reinstall busybox and saved it to xbin and i manage to install xrecovery..
Thanks for the quick reply! In the busybox installer it says "status: done" but i don't know if it actually installed or not b/c i don't see busybox anywhere ??
k so i can get to the system/bin folder on my phone but i can't copy over the files like the instruction says it says "xxxx file copy failed" for every file i try to paste into the /system/bin...i like to think i'm not completely retarded but this ish is killin' me
When you install Busybox, theres an option where to install it. install it to xbin, not bin.
When it's done, its done. then try installing xrecovery.
Also, install xrecovery using the Automatic way, its easier..
When doing a copy/pasting or editing, make sure Root Explorer is in r/w, not r/o
I would install it the automatic way if I could find the installer anywhere :-/

Dude its in that thread: http://www.mediafire.com/?eyihuzn4h96xw4c
DL that then, go to Market and search for an apk installer. install that.
Then copy the xrecovery apk to ur sd. open the apk installer of ur choice. it should then scan for apks in ur sd card. install xrecovery and ur done.
I too am having the same problem as yours but managed to overcome this issue by installing xrecovery via flashtool.

the file that downloads from that link is a .zip. do I need to change the extension to .apk? (i know it says .apk on the link but when you download it there's no .apk)

Theres a free root explorer in the market. Look for one.. Try looking for some youtube videos online for the x10...

if i watch this video, there's a point where he clicks on the file on his phone and the file's icon is the little android mascot or whatever and when he clicks on it it gives him the option to open it with the app manager and when he clicks on it it takes him through the installation. whenever i go to the file on my phone, 1) the icon attached to it is the same as for a .zip file and 2) when i click on it it only gives me the option to extract it.
Also, give flashtool a try.... Gtg.

thx for trying to help, much appreciated.
any other takers???
Dont extract it, just copy the file the way it is to ur sd card... Scan again with an apk installer...

that's what i did, copied it without extracting it
How do I delete the above mods without having to restore to an older backup or flash a new ROM?
I am well versed with the android system and if you tell me to shell rm or delete using root explorer I can... Also I figured out that a few files were replaced while flashing these mods... so any help would be appreciated....
What u can do is unzip the files and see where they are being placed and then delete from root explorer. If any files are being replaced, unzip ur flashable rom and pull the original files and then place in directories, overwriting the modified fikes

How do remove startup jingle ?: Confuso:
Using a file explorer with root privileges, delete or move /etc/PowerOn.ogg
Thanks for the reply .... WORKS!
I knew this solution would fixed it, but I did not know where the file was located . . .
I also tried to rename the file to "PowerOn.ogg.SAV" (in the same directory), but it did not work ...
Maybe Android does not accept files with double extensions
Would be to try to rename "PowerOn.ogg" in "PowerOn.SAV" only
Thanks !
anyone with a zip file of File manager would be grateful Thanks!
u can use root explorer to copy in system or install normally. why do u need zip file?
