Hi,
I've upgraded my galaxy note to ICS. After upgrade I'm unable to transfer files from/to usb-stick(using usb-connector). I used to(before ICS) transfer files from/to usbstick, but after upgrade it is not working. Any solution?
When I connnect USB stick to galaxy note, I can see the contents of the stick. I can even select files to get copied, but when I go to destination directory, "Paste here" button is disabled.
FYI, "USB debugging" option is disabled.
Do you have write permission on the destination directory and is it mounted as read/write?

Thanks for the quick reply. How do I check whether the usb-storage device is mounted in read or write mode?

Seem it is mounted read/write as I could create directories on the usb device. but copy of files is not working.
try it using es file explorer

I mean the destination directory needs to be mounted as read/write. What tool are you using to view your files? Although I don't have it myself (I use the Linux prompt) I understand that Root Explorer has a remount function.

by the look of the above post hes trying to copy files from phone to USB external
Oh I see, sorry. Could it be an issue with not being root on the Note and therefore no write permission on the USB stick?
r u sure that to copy files from phone to usb drive requires root ? i dont know for what it would need root
Yes, I'm trying to copy files from phone to usb drive. It used to work before ICS upgrade with out root.
Thanks for your replies. "ES File Explorer" solved my problem. Now I can transfer files from phone to usb-device using usb-connector. Thanks a lot.

Ok... I'll bite. Ringdroid from the market. Any other answer will take some info.
As in, the ringroid will put the ringtones in the sd card memory not the phone memory, i tried copy paste over but fail.
To place them into the phone memory you will need to either copy them using the terminal or push them through adb.
using adb, place the file(s) in your tools folder
Code:
adb push filename.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
In the terminal, if you place them in the root of your sdcard
Code:
cp /sdcard/filename.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
I am not sure if you need to remount or not to push/copy into the folder or not.
It says read-only file system as the error.

Try:
Code:
adb remount
That should fix the "read only" problem.
i'm not using adb... I'm using the second method which is in the terminal.
Do yourself a favor and go get Root Explorer from the market. It lets you move any file to anywhere.
Move your files to /system/media/audio/ringtones and remember to check to see if the files that are there are .ogg or .mp3. If they are .ogg just rename your files after you move them.
What you mean I have to rename the files after i move them?
What's the exact application name? I tried searching on market but could not find any.

I like SUFBS but ES (or estrong) file explorer is good also. SUFBS cost a buck or 2 but I think it is worth it. Either way your phone needs to be rooted for this. You do have root right?
Yeah, phone is rooted. I tried ES Strong Explorer but cannot work, it says something about permission or something like that..

I'm not sure if it's a "hero thing" but sometimes the file extensions in the ringtones folder are not .mp3. They are .ogg. If you look into the folder and see .ogg files just change the extension and you'll be all good.
As for the apps. Look for "Root Explorer". I believe there are both free and paid options. The paid one isn't very much $$ so, considering how much easier it makes things, give up the loot and support a dev.
I tried searching under market, but cant find it..
id use terminal with cmds, would be a tad faster and a bit more reliable, in my opinion, but as of searching on your behalf i have found root explorer a paid version and estrongs free version by searching "root" while in the market. estrongs sounds unstable. If your going to pay for a good file explorer get SU file manager&terminal. (and...SAA?ror)
How do I use terminals? I tried but that say permission thingy..
Did you mount the system?
OK dude. If you're rooted I assume you have somebody's recovery. Boot to recovery and go into console (Alt+x). Now do this.
<enter>
mount /system <enter> (maybe mount /system/media if just /system doesn't work)
mount /sdcard <enter>
cp /sdcard/yourfolder/yourringtone.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones <enter>
reboot
You should be good to go.
Can I do that in terminal? As in one of the application in my HTC Dream?
Hi to All!
Is there some way to transfer Hebrew fonts from sd card to system of device?
I can see sd cards folders,also i see WildFire system folder-like fonts e.t.c.
i use dual file manager app to manage files on sd card,i success to copy the file from sd card,but i can't to paste the fonts on system folders.There isn't option to paste the copied files.
Some advance on this issue?
Thank in advance!!!
I found my problem.
I thought that i done softRoot,but unfortunately it isn't,i can't to paste the files because the folders of system still closed.
maybe try with a rooted explorer.
Push the file to your sdcard and then copy it with the root explorer to the font dir.
(didn't tried it, it's just an idea)
No - it doesn't matter,i tried with two different application to push the fonts,all systems folders is closed,i think it's related to root of device.
Anyway, thanks for advise.

If you want to push files to /system using soft root, you'll need to mount bind and then symlink a new directory containing all of system's content.
Otherwise, I'd just wait for full root which will be with you soon.

Better- i'll wait.
Hi Martin,
I prefer to wait for unrEVOked root.
By the way,do you have any idea: when the root should be published?
Thanks,
Well, technically, the root is ready.
I've been hassling unrEVOked devs as much as I can to give me a final test build so that it can go live, but these guys have other lives and, to be honest, the Wildfire is small fry to them.
Regardless, I am continuing to ask them -- I'd really really hope that it will be released within the next week, but, obviously, it's out of my hands.
Best,
Martin
Ok
Ok,We'll wait patiently.
Thanks for your sacred work
First of all thanks to unrEVOked team for the ROOT!!!
Second i still have some problem with transferring fonts from sdcard to system/fonts even after implement success root my wildfire,somebody know what the problem???

You need to boot into *recovery mode*, go to "Partitions" in clockworkmod and select "mount /system". When this is done, you can put the fonts in.
The unrEVOked root will still not allow you to write to the /system partition during normal bootup.

when i try to paste the fonts,i get waring "Warning!!!Do you want to overiwrite (folder will be merged)"? i press ok then i get app notice "paste is failed".
As I said, go into adb in recovery mode -- don't connect it up as a folder you can access with PC as you will not be running with root privileges.

sorry,but i think i didn't got you.do not connect the device to the pc?or to connect the device and to try to done this process through the \tools\adb?
may i mistake?
You need to connect the device to the PC, then restart the device *in recovery mode*.
You need to stay in recovery mode throughout.
Then mount /system and use adb on your PC to push the files.
Ok.thanks man

I'm trying to push the fonts file as you said through adb cmd:
(adb push /sdcard/fonts /system/)
,but I get next error "cannot stat: /sdcard/fonts/ not such file or directory".
the adb not recognize/see the sdcard.
Just flash the following zip from recovery: http: // hero.host-il.co.il/HebVillain/Hebrew_Fonts_Dalet11.zip

Thank you in advance, this is a great community.
I am running cognition 3.04 and making my first attempt at transparent widgets. However, I am uncertain if I am properly set up to access and reinstall apk files. I can find them on my phone using the file explorer in Andriod Mate. However, it appears that when I plug my phone into the usb or use any other file exploring software, the base directory is /mnt/sdcard/ . I feel that I am missing a critical component of this process, as I do not have ready access to the files I need to alter and eventually replace.
Thank you again,
Dez

You would need to copy them from ur /system/app folder to some folder on ur sdcard to see them on computer.
Below is the file system layout.
/ (root)
/system
/system/app
/...
/...
/...
/sdcard
/sdcard/...
/sdcard/...
/sdcard/...
/sdcard/external_sd
/sdcard/external_sd/...
/sdcard/external_sd/...
/sdcard/external_sd/...
When u connect to computer, it mounts only the internal and external sd cards. It does not mount the system areas like system, data, etc.
Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Yeah, I tried to make a smaller one, and it's still there but I can't see it in windows. I tried renaming it as well and that didn't work either.

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.

I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/update.zip
Hello people,
When I open Windows Explorer and I naviagte to my Huawei P9, I see my files, but I can't copy of save files,
my phone is not rooted and I have usb debugging enabled.
Is it possible to edit and save files on my SD tru my USB connection?
Regards,
Ralph
Hey,
Unfortunately Android changed right managements with version 5 I think. Now you must be rooted to grant certain apps write permissions for SD card. However, the original file explorer that came with the phone (the one by Huawei) should be able to copy files. Also, you can copy them from your computer via USB on your phone. When the phone is connected to your computer slide down the task bar and click on files...there you go!

Yes I found the file explorer, but I'm not shure if this helps me.
The reason I'm asking this question is this:
I use watchmaker, and watchmaker has a folder on my SD card , and one of thos folders has a script folder with lua scripts.
I want to open a text editor like sublime text on my windows pc and open the script folder on my phone SD card and edit those scripts and save it.
so is there a way I can tell android, it's ok that everyone has access to this script folder so I can edit those files tru my pc/usb?
Regards,
Ralph
