Hello, i've been looking for this all over the forum but did not see an answer...
I want to access the /system folder of my rooted galaxy S from my windows computer through USB.
It's a simple thing but after several searches i haven't been able to find clear guidelines to achieve this.
Thanks,
Regards.

Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...
I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

Best buy EVER! THANKs
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
Is there something like that? I want to view my android file system in windows but don't know how. Something like root explorer but for windows. I tried Droid explorer and Android commander but they dont seem to find my device though. I have debugging enabled. Maybe its because km on a custom rom. ICS333.
Airdroid?
If your admin on your computer then you automatically have 'root' access. You have free will to do what you please, system32 (start, c:/, windows, system32) is where all the important stuff is. But don't go tampering with it otherwise you MAY have to reinstall windows

meant ANDROID file system.
Hi there, when i browse play.google.com and i find an app i want to install i can just click it and it will install itself on my tablet.
A nice feature and i wonder if there exists any tool or maybe a site that does the same for .apk's i have already on my PC?
Try "MoboRobo", software that installs on a windows PC...let you load anything via the PC.
Videos, music, apps, etc...
Enjoy.

If you are command line savvy then a simple way may be to use 'adb push' to copy the apk directly to /data/app or wherever.
Or for multiple apps:

And also a really simple methid is to have adb and the app in ths dame directory and run adb install app.apk

Well, thank you for the reactions, but this is not what I meant.
I was talking about installing from a PC without wires.
At the moment I mostly use dropbox or box.net to upload the apk's to, then installing with ES file explorer.
I used to use Samba filesharing too.
But Googleplay manages to let me click on install and instantly installs it on my Android device, I don't think that your options work that way, right?

Hello everyone!
I have a GT-I9000 and I need root access from Windows Explorer, over USB connection.
How achieve that?
I can do that via wifi using for example a FTP server app on my phone http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=ftp&fdid=be.ppareit.swiftp_free
Don't know if you can configure it to work via USB.
I think you can mount the /system partition as mass storage in a custom recovery, but I have never tested it before. Why do you want root access through explorer anyway?
