[Q] ES file explorer can't get root access - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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..

So every time when i want access ROOT after phone reboot i have to reinstall EX file Explorer
Funny thing is that on My Incredible S with Bindroid ROM is exactly the same. I am confused what is wrong in Bindroid releases or whats wrong with latest ES File Explorer included in Bindroid releases... because this problem don't persist with another builds..

I had this problem too but using RCMix3D ROM, oddly enough it sorted once I installed root explorer and used that. Then I just tried using ES file explorer out of curiosity and now it works.
I figured it out now some way.
In bindroid ROMs the ES File Explorer is included in Flash, it is system app. When u install ES File Explorer from market or from backup (like me) everything works fine till u restart your phone. The ES File Explorer included in system app is back, and ROOT does not work anymore. So i installed older ES File Manager version. get root acess and locate /system/app/ folder and delete "com.estrongs.android.pop.apk" from there. So now i got only mine user installed app not system.
Works fine now.

Glad to hear, although it seems like a pain. I guess you will need to remove it every time you flash!
It should not be like that, but at least it works. Intresting, problem is in latest ES File Explorer or in Bindroid ROMs.
p.s. I'm not flashing my phone every day And installing ES File Explorer from market or backup and remove system flashed takes max 1 minute. Yea but pain anyway

Thank You for reply! Thank You for your ROMs. I'm trying to search corresponding threads. In DEV section i can not post because i'm new in this forum, and yes DEV section is more for developing not for people like me. Only if in BinDroid site.

Yes. It's hard to not see link in big red letters leading to xda.bindroid.com - that's what i mean your Bindroid site. My mistake. I should report there not make new thread here.
I'll register in your forum.

Root directory

Hello I'm looking to play some gameloft games on my TP,so I need to change build.prop file. But there isn't any files in root category. How to get these files?
The built-in file explorer doesn't let you see the root directory. You can use something like Root Explorer (paid app from the Market), or an equivalent, to see it.
Besides, build.prop is located in /system

If you're rooted, you can use es file explorer (along with some other ones). In settings, click on the 'rooted' box and also on the mount box. Free in Google play. The build.prop file is in /system

[Fix] ES File Explorer root error

When you try and toggle the "Root Explorer" switch to enable root in ES File Explorer, you are met with and error
"Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device. Root Explorer"
Use another root explorer app with root permissions, and copy the contents of /su/bin/ (about 7 files) and paste them inside /system/xbin/
Now try turning root explorer on in ES File Explorers Tools setting
It should now turn on and work fine

Thank you[emoji106]!!
It works fine on G900F Marshmallow rooted with SuperSU 2.72 systemless!
Inviato dal mio SM-G900F utilizzando Tapatalk
Thanks for the hint!
But this error made me change from ESFE to FX + Root Add On.
It's more comfortable in my opinion.
Perfect! Thanks!!!

Thank you very much! Worked on my 900F as well!
Great
Thank you so much for a solution :highfive:
New ES File Explorer version now supports Systemless root. Works on my Note 5
If this happens after installing a new ROM you must enable developer options and then set route and then restart the phone or tablet and then that won't happen
Great, thank you.
ES File explorer root error
Thanks, works great!
Titanium Backup
Thanks for the hint (works also with secure settings)
Unfortunately Titanium Backup doesn't recognize root anymore
It got a problem with the /system/xbin/su command.
Still no success. I followed your steps still failed to get root access
Same here with jiayu s3 on Android 7.1 fom M.A.D.
Edit: Got Root Access with copying /su from rootdirectory to system/bin...
Hi!
I have es file explorer version 4.1.4.3 and I have root access without problems
This method works for me, though I'm running a Note Edge MM 6.0.1
I'm on the J7 and having this problem because of Samsung. Moving the files to xbin doesn't work with Root Explorer. Says Copy failed. So even after it's mounted RW I can't copy and paste files. Strangely I was able to rename a file. Don't know why.
Did this trick. But copy still failed even though ES File Explorer got root successfully.
(FYI: Trying to copy sound files into the system.)
Any other ideas?
I am fed up with Samsung!!!
FOR ANY SAMSUNG: Figured it out. All my folder access troubles are Knox's fault! But I had to do a command line trick along with disabling Knox.
You'll need: Root Package Disabler and Terminal Emulator
*So after rooting get either Titanium Backup Pro (not free) or Root Package Disabler (free) or Package Disabler Pro (not free). (They do the same thing.)
*Open the program you installed. Find anything with "knox" in the name and disable it. I, personally, disabled Lookout as well because it often doesn't like advanced root apps or modifications. But it shouldn't block ES File Explorer.
*Open Terminal Emulator. Put in the commands below, one-at-a-time. Hit Enter after each. REBOOT WHEN YOUR DONE. (Source here.)
Code:
su
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Code:
touch /sbin/su /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /system
Code:
exit
Reboot and Root ES File Explorer again.
Note: ES File Explorer won't copy files to the system or other sensitive folders. You still need "Root Explorer" or maybe "Solid Explorer" for that. This makes ES File Explorer useless to me. However, you still need the steps above to copy sensitive system files in the other root enabled file browsers. So do it anyway.
Hi guys! I know this is an old thread and Samsung Space, but i still use ES File Explorer Pro 1.1.4.1 because i like it. But somehow i lost root. Don't know how and why, everything worked fine on my rooted (with Magisk 23.0) Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 with Android 10 (Sorry for that, but i didn't find anything else in the www about this problem). Now i receive the same message "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device." and don't know how to solve this. I uninstalled and reinstalled ESFX, deleted it from the list of rooted Apps in Magisk and it asked for the permissions again.... fine..... granted! But still i can't activate it's root explorer. This doesn't work :
" Use another root explorer app with root permissions, and copy the contents of /su/bin/ (about 7 files) and paste them inside /system/xbin/"
....because there is no "/su/bin" and therefore i can't copy anything.

Same issue here. I ended up copying all files from any folder containing "bin" (sbin, xbin, bin) to /system/xbin to no avail.
Not sure if it is accurate, but it seems like it is, but old ES cannot work on devices that have systemless root.
