Cannot copy <filename>: Access is denied - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi guys,
I've done a search for previous posts on this but with no results.
Could someone please help me?
When attempting to copy a file from
<PDA>\Windows to PC ...
Window Title : Error converting file
Cannot convert file <filename>. Access is denied.
TIA
Annette

Try moving the file to another spot on the phone and then copy to the desktop.

Re: Access is denied
Thank you ChumleyEx.
It works for some files but not ones with +H +R +S and in ROM,
even after -H -R -S. Is this by default in WinCE 6.1?
Basically, I had to manually uninstall an app and rip it out off the Registry,
when I came across this annoyance. Obviously, I can't delete files in the ROM
but I can't even copy them. I was just wanting to copy dlls to my PC so that I could check their Properties to determine their function, version and company info.
Is there a way to do this perhaps using another app?
I'm using Total Commander.

Windows directory is READ ONLY. fixable?

hello folks,
I'm running a TILT with HTC ROM.
I am trying to make some changes to system files located in the
windows directory. attributes are read only and I cannot find a
way to make changes to that. I've searched the forum but didn't
find anything. if anyone knows of a way to delete/change the read only
attribute on winmo 5 windows directory please point me in the right
direction.
thanks!
If the items you are trying to modify are built into the rom, you can see them but they can not be modified.
The items specifically i'm trying to modify are
the 0_in and 0_out files with in the windows directory
that are used for keyboard sliding sounds. i've read
previously about people using customer slide sounds
and just replacing the ones inside the directory with
the newly formed files.
I asked the question more generically incase anyone
else wanted information on the same subject for
different reasons.
update: Changed rom files!
I was doing some digging and I figured out how to
change over files that are baked onto the rom.
I did so by using Totalcommander. which is a shareware
file system. says it also has a built in reg editor
but ive yet to figure out how to open that
feature...if anyone else uses totalcommander
let me know how to start its regediting functions.
I havnet used total commander in a while, but i believe its in a directory "//" with no name.

Two thoughts - I've got a control panel for the sliding sounds where I can change the sound associate with the slider. Is that not working?
Are you trying to replace the files using File Explorer or something like Total Commander? FE won't do it, but TC or one of the extended file explorers should. Note that you won't really be replacing a file in ROM, and if you ever delete the one you add the one in ROM will "magically" reappear.
If you want to overwrite files in the Windows directory, Resco File Explorer does this beautifully!

bump...im having trouble editing files on my phone from activesync and i want to know how i can disable the "read only" on these files...can anyone help?
Use total commander
Click on the file properties and uncheck "read only".
Edit or overwrite them

Modify autocorrect0409.txt file

Hi all! I am trying to modify the autocorrect file, though I am running into some issues.
1. I cannot modify the file using Total Commander to uncheck read only
2. I believe because of #1, I am unable to copy the autocorrect file back to the Windows directory, as I am receiving an access denied error.
Has anyone had a successful experience with this? If so, please help me!
Thank you so much.

Error when trying to replace ddl file in windows directory

Hi,
I wanted to customize my htc touch pro a little bit by changing the battery icon, but that requires me to replace a ddl file, but heres the problem, i cant replace it
I cant replace it using the total commander on the phone, and not using my windows when connected to my computer.
Does anyone know how i can remove the limitations so i can replace ddl files in the windows directory?
Using Windows Mobile 6.1
In total commander, copy the file to the \Temp folder. Then CUT the file from temp, and paste it into \Windows. That should work.
If that still doesn't work, you can try this:
Rename the original dll in \Windows (I like to add a new suffix like .old with Total Commander).
Copy the file into temp.
Cut/paste from temp to windows.
Reboot phone.
If THAT doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you.
Are you on a custom or stock ROM?
If it's a stock ROM, you will need to install Security Certificates in order for the .DLL to work.
Additionally, it is possible that Security Policies are in place that prevent execution of of .DLL that are unsigned.
HTH,

OBB access

Rooted pure. Can't view android/obb folder in any root explorer. I can verify it is there by switch to its directory in terminal emulator. However I can't write to it. "Error permission denied "
Does anyone know how to make it visible and set write permissions?
I am NON ROOTED
I can only add files or overwrite them, by making a obb folder anywhere else, putting the files in it ,then moving this folder inside the Android folder
Sent from my XT1092
Hmm. I can do that. However it say that folder exist so I have to overwrite it. Seeing that I can't view it I'm worried there might be something I need in it.

Same problem here
I tried changing permissions in terminal but I couldn't make it visible. It wouldn't even let me delete the folder because the device or resource is busy. It would be nice to fix this. Maybe with twrp you could delete the folder and make a new one that would be visible.

Hi,
I was also facing the same problem and by some hit and trial i was able to see the folder and write to it. This is what i did:-
1) I used ES File Explorer.
2)In it if you search for obb folder using the "search" option you are able to see the obb folder and the files in it.
If you want a step by step guide i have written it in the following page:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57161290&postcount=3

I saw that post. Thanks. I can get into the folder and write to it, but I would really like to make it visible. I think its really odd that with root you can view all the other folders, but not to the obb folder. If anyone knows why, that would be helpful.

[Q] Cannot delete file

I Downloaded a WinRAR file onto my S5 for my computer. It is in my downloads folder on the internal storage of my S5. I have deleted everything out of the folder itself but cannot delete the folder. It annoys me. When I try to delete it I get this dialog box:
"Error deleting folder" Cannot delete WinRAR 5.21 Final(x86-x64) Pre-Activated 100(weird Chinese symbol) an install: The storage is write protected.
Remove the write protection and try again.
I am not stupid...I've tried everything I could think of and cannot remove the write protection or anything. For some reason I think it may be because of the weird Chinese symbol that is after the "Pre-Activated 100"
I cannot rename it, modify it or anything. It is the only file I am having a problem with. Can anybody help me with my OCD?
Is your phone rooted? If yes, you can either use adb or just a terminal emulator app, and delete the cr.p of that file!
Edit: the command you're looking for:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
rm -r Download
That will remove the Download folder along with all its content. (this is irreversible)
