[Q] ES file explorer can't get root access

Hi,
I easly unlocked and rooted my Razr i using mattlgroff tools.
My phone is rooted, some apps like adfree are running perfectly, but, ES file explorer won't manage to get root access.
When I tick the "Root Explorer" option, it asks for root, works hard for 1 or 2 seconds, then tells me "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone".
I tried to update su binary and busybox (wich was actually already up to date) but nothing changed.

I have the same problem... For the moment I use an alternative app :
Root Browser Lite

It works fine as root and it is free.

If you cant afford Root Explorer (which is awesome) I would suggest using Solid Explorer because its not awesome, its SUPER awesome and free

latest Solid explorer integrate busybox for ARM, now it doesn't work

Download any other rootable File Manager from store (make sure to grant root access and enable r/w) then COPY all the files in /su/bin to /system/xbin. Then, ES file Exp. Pro 1.0.7 root explorer works fine..

[Q] How can I mount R/W on my rooted Z1S?

I have my Z1S rooted and deodexed but I can't get it to mount R/W at all. I have tried in root explorer with no luck, tried in ES File Explorer with no luck.
I am on stock KK 4.4.4 with a locked bootloader.
How can I get this to work?

Try FX File Manager with FX Root Addon. If you cant mount R/W that's mean your root isnt work. Try to reroot.....

help with root explorer??

I'm rooted with tmobile unlocked usa phone, I was trying to edit things in build prop with root explorer and it doesn't let me do any thing, I even tried to use SQLite editor and it returns with database is currently used

- Open Root Explorer
- Root/system/build.prop
- Press 'Mount r/w' on top
- r/w should now be displayed on left, where r/o was previously displayed.
- Long press build.prop
- Press 'Open in Text Editor'
- Press the text line you want to change*
* Proceed with caution
- Take a look here in post #1 under 'Root Explorer Method' for more info.
(Step #4 will not apply regarding your inquiry.)

Update/Edit:
See posts below.
I've included a screenshot.

The problem is Root Explorer does not allow you to edit text file more than 10kB.
If you have this problem, use ES File Explorer.

Yes definitely use ES file Explorer for any build prop edits. Root explorer will not save any changes

It's still there just use a different file manager.. I use root Explorer and it's in /sdcard/Android/obb if you are using the stock file manager, it may not let you see it.
