I'm rooted and running CM6.1. It appears I lost my root access to the /data folder which I once had access to. Now when I use astro file manager on my phone and open the data folder it displays "No files or Folders" which is not true. I ran a simple "ls /data" in the terminal, and it showed me many folders.
Can somebody please help me get access back? Thanks
EDIT: just tried droidexplorer and same thing, no files or folders appear.
Try Root Explorer... I'll look for it & try to upload it for you to install, I've had good luck using it myself, hopefully it will Help You Too!!
Ok Here You Go Ubunix!! I Also Uploaded ES File Explorer, GOOD-LUCK!!

I tired both of those already too, no anvil. I think I have to do a nandroid, because I do recall deleting the "/d" folder in the root directory, not knowing that it served any purpose.

I'd remove root explorer if I were you...Its a paid app
Warez is not allowed on XDA
Forum Rules Here
UPDATE: Back to normal after doing a nandroid, still dont know the specific cause, but thanks PMGRANDS for suggestions!
Root explorer removed. it's a paid app, so it's warez if you post it
Oh Okay.... I'm Sorry Every1.... I Was Just Trying To Help Out, Honestly I Didn't Know I About The Paid App Upload Restriction!! I Respect This Site And All Of It's Developers, Didn't Mean To Break Any Rules, Or Offend Anybody!! Sorry Once Again!! I'm Wondering Now If ES Explorer Is A Paid App? I Got It From A Rom I Installed, I'm Using The XDA App, & Can't Figure Out How To Delete The ES Explorer Apk. I Uploaded From My Laptop Which I Won't Have Access To For A Few Days.... If Any1 Knows How (If Possible) I'd Appreciate The Info!! Thanx!!!

I have a framework-res.apk to give me battery % on the top bar, but im not sure how to install it... Can someone help please?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
use Astro File Manager and open it. you should be at /sdcard. then press "UP" and you should be at / now.
all in all. navigate to /system/framework and replace the framwork-res.apk file.
do backup your original apk file incase things don't work out.
Right I tried that, with Astro I can't copy files to root directories (above /sdcard/) I tried EStrongs file manager and it says it can't be copied... Is there any reason it won't work?
Or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hmm weird. it worked for me, judging from your signature you're rooted so... i have no idea. paid solutions like root explorer and all, or adb. isn't the battery modification done via an update.zip now? it's easier and way automated.
Yeah it's rooted and it had worked before but when this method didn't work again I thought I was doing it wrong.
I'll have a look for the thread again when I'm home and see what it says and if there's an update.zip.
Thanks for the help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
definitely an update.zip method now. i've applied it yesterday lol no problem.
here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Damn you're good, thats the exact thread
Well I'm glad it's done by update.zip haha.

I'm familiar with the linux filesystem, but what i'm not sure is how to access or view this file system. Say I wanted to place a file in /etc/system, what program can i use to do that? When connected to my PC via USB, all I get is the SD card with download..data...titanium backup..gps...etc
Cheers

First you need to root your phone. As the term implies it gives you root access.
Then use an app like root explorer to get into root directories, mount them as rw, then do as you will.

Hello,
for me sounds like you need root access to your system to see this folders and a file explorer with root too like root explorer....but is not for free. I already didn´t found a free option.
Is only a idea...I didn´t try self
Edit: I was too slow :-D

My phone is rooted with Darky's 9.5. I would know how to do this in linux, mounting...chmod for permissions, something like that...are you saying an app like root explorer lets me access /etc, /mnt, and so on? Are there free alternatives?
If you want you can try this both....but the feedback is very mixed..some like some hate
Android Mate Free
Super Manager
If you try please gimme a feedback
If a connect it to the PC, i cannot see the system folder. (is there any trick I am not aware of?)
If i use a folder manager, i cannot put a ringtone in the system/media folder...its probably protected or so.
does it HAVE to be rooted or so?
thank you.
Root is required to make changes to /system
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
If you wanna put a ringtone in /system/media use root explorer. That's the easiest way for you, if you're advanced and wanna get familiar with adb, adb push it

I assumed that
but is the ROOT safe at this time? i have red a lot of issues after ROOTing...
Uhh... root is kinda never safe? Haha. Idk what you mean by that

getting root itself normally isnt a big issue.. normally people run in to more trouble when they have attempted flashes that go awry.
I used to flash my HTC Touch Pro 2 with a CUSTOM Rom almost every month... for more than 1 year..and no issues there...
but the number of topics with problems after booting the D3...made me think again when modding this phone...
With just a root, you should be ok. I feel that just rooting does very little, and as said before, the issues only arise when we try to take advantage of what root enables us to do...freezing, modding, flashing, etc.
i just want to put a custom ringtone (mp3 file) in the ringtones folders.
the ringtones from this phone..are really stupid.
any ideas which does not include root?
Well I use the MIUI music app and when it asks me to choose a ringtone I just chooose it through that
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Use Ringdroid, it's free in market. Ringdroid allows you to crop and edit audio files, turn them in to ringtones and set them as default.
worked perfectly with ringdroid
if i unistall the application, the ringtone will remain?
use root explorer. Thats how i get to it.

nope. if i try to move with root explorer a file in system folder, it says i can not do that. probably because the phone is not rooted.

Exactly. Do not be afraid to root it, you can unroot it whenever you like.

Root explorer isn't nedded anymore. ES file explorer can browse as root, and it's free.
Hello
I recently picked up a HD Fire which is on the newest update 7.2.1 and rooted it with the "Qemu automated root" method, which it said was successful. I see the SU app, thing is "ES file explorer" wont let me turn on root explorer and another app "root explorer" wont let me change system permissions to R/W to move apps around.. I am stuck, and I am assuming that I am not rooted if I cant change permissions?
Thanks..

.... I cant change anything with Read only and I am not able to enable r/w, including moving files to root directory with the app.
Edit: Weird.. I redid the root process for the 5th time and it finally worked.

Glad you got it working....In My experience (which isnt great) Id Just sack ES Explorer and use Root Explorer....Its quite simple in there. There is a button at the top that is for read only or read write.....It says Mount R/W to get read write or when your in RW it says Mount R/O for read Only. Im a massive fan of Root Explorer ....And no I dont have anything to do with it......Its the best Stat! for less than £4 I also have their SQL database editor....Which actually lets you edit stuff...Unlike some Ive had to get refunds for!

thanks for your reply
I went there, but it seems that in menu it wont give me a copy option, and even when i do get that option it says that i can't save it to SD card, what permissions do i need to set there, maybe this the problem? and is it permission per files of folder ?? how can i set the option to copy from root to SD ?
sorry for bunch of questions :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Just use the app Super Backup. Backup apps option will copy app apks to sd card.

I'm rather sure it was created in the same folder the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp was in and it's a zip file, there is no exe.
Probably yes but there was not really a problem you just need all the apk files and it takes some time but the result is very good and usefull.
My mistake, i was talking about the .jnlp file.
Btw i put in this paclage creator only the apk files and did not add any app folder.
I'm gonna try it again later on today. The first few try out the program worked pretty fast but no zip to be seen LOL. Lets see what will happen later on.

Works flawlessly for me
:victory::victory::victory: YES, FINALLY. i made it :laugh::laugh: i think i know what was the problem. i didnt give enough time to create the .ZIP file. if would have waited for 20 secs longer on each earlier attempt, i would have had those files already. LMAO, i'm such a noob dang so stupid of me. well no i know to double check myself. hehe.
