Rooted pure. Can't view android/obb folder in any root explorer. I can verify it is there by switch to its directory in terminal emulator. However I can't write to it. "Error permission denied "
Does anyone know how to make it visible and set write permissions?
I am NON ROOTED
I can only add files or overwrite them, by making a obb folder anywhere else, putting the files in it ,then moving this folder inside the Android folder
Sent from my XT1092
Hmm. I can do that. However it say that folder exist so I have to overwrite it. Seeing that I can't view it I'm worried there might be something I need in it.

Same problem here
I tried changing permissions in terminal but I couldn't make it visible. It wouldn't even let me delete the folder because the device or resource is busy. It would be nice to fix this. Maybe with twrp you could delete the folder and make a new one that would be visible.

Hi,
I was also facing the same problem and by some hit and trial i was able to see the folder and write to it. This is what i did:-
1) I used ES File Explorer.
2)In it if you search for obb folder using the "search" option you are able to see the obb folder and the files in it.
If you want a step by step guide i have written it in the following page:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57161290&postcount=3

I saw that post. Thanks. I can get into the folder and write to it, but I would really like to make it visible. I think its really odd that with root you can view all the other folders, but not to the obb folder. If anyone knows why, that would be helpful.

As above. Anyone knows?

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?
As the title ask's, does anyone know how to keep these from playing in the music app. I know I can not delete the sound files or the game will not play (already tried ), but jogging and at work is getting a little annoying when every other song on shuffle is a golf wave lol. Any help would be appreciated.
Put empty .nomedia file in the gameloft directory on sdcard, and reboot.
+1 to that.
Do I use root explorer and please be more descriptive..noob. Thanks
try the app MixZing... lets you specify the root folder where you store all your music you want to shuffle from... nice replacement for the stock...

Can't seem to let me create a .nomedia file, perhaps you meant to make a .nomedia folder?
Make a blank text file in Windows. Rename it .nomedia and copy it onto your n1
Does not work.. Any more suggestions?

Windows won't let you create a file with no name, only extension. It doesn't mean anything for Android, which is Linux and operates with such files. Create the file on the phone with the following command in Terminal Emulator:
echo "" > .nomedia
Move the file to the right place using Windows, if you want.

Check that you did it correctly, and reboot. There is no other way, and this one works - if it doesn't for you, you're most probably doing something wrong.
Will try the emulator method.. thanks
If you're doing it in Windows, open a command prompt to rename the file.
rename <filename> .nomedia
You might already have a .nomedia file in some of your directories already. Using Astro you can copy them to the Golf folder.
However if you don't and you have Windows, create a blank text file on your memory card in the Golf folder and call it nomedia.txt, then when you put it back in your phone use Astro to rename it to .nomedia
Both methods need an SD Card memount for the media software to scan, so either plug the USB in and select Mound then Unmount or reboot the phone.
I got my NC rooted (I think LOL) I went through the root process and everything looks fine but now i'm trying to install some apk's and I cant get it to work. I want to install root explorer so I pulled the apk from my Htc Evo and put it in a folder on my desktop. Then in cmd I type
cd\
cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb kill-server
adb devices
I get my device listed so then I type (before the cursor it says C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>)
adb install C:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\apks\root explorer 2.12.4.apk"
and I get a message that says "can't find 'explorer 2.12.4.apk' to install
I am stuck I don't know what to do. Please help me!!
I have tried the name root explorer 2.12.4.apk with and without spaces

If cmd is like Linux you have to put \ before spaces like root\ explorer\ 2.12.4.apk
its definitely related to where the apk is located or the file name.
Try putting quotes around the path such as....
adb install "c:\docume...."
If that doesn't work then create a folder on your c:\ called apk then move the file over to that folder and rename the .apk file to something without spaces.
Good luck!
So I am at the correct path? What EXACTLY do you type after you open the cmd? Can you just open the cmd and start installing apps or do you have to navigate to android-sdk-windows...
What do I need to type from the time I open cmd?

Now that I have root explorer installed how do I use it? Can I put it on my home screen?
Hi, i want paste game's data in file obb (/android/obb), but i can't that. I was try with a file explorer create a new file obb, bus that says i have a file with obb name, somebody have the same problem? Thanks

Yes I have the issue. May be a root access thing... I'm missing root
First off obb is not a file, its a directory. If the obb folder doesn't exist, create the folder. The game data goes in the obb folder.
You cannot access it @iwebsource. Nor can you create it.
Odd. Usually the /Android/ directory on the internal sdcard is writeable. On the nexus 5 it is anyways.
I'll check it out when my Moto X arrives
It is odd. When we get root access, all will be good then. Debloating of this will occur in the most aggressive way. Dang big red
I have the same problem, cant see the obb folder, when i try to create it it says that a folder with the name is already there(i have root) my solution till someone was:
create a obb folder somewhere else,
put all your obb folder example: obb (main folder)>>abc.com.l2(folder)>>file.obb
copy the obb main folder and paste it in /android/
select override

I Downloaded a WinRAR file onto my S5 for my computer. It is in my downloads folder on the internal storage of my S5. I have deleted everything out of the folder itself but cannot delete the folder. It annoys me. When I try to delete it I get this dialog box:
"Error deleting folder" Cannot delete WinRAR 5.21 Final(x86-x64) Pre-Activated 100(weird Chinese symbol) an install: The storage is write protected.
Remove the write protection and try again.
I am not stupid...I've tried everything I could think of and cannot remove the write protection or anything. For some reason I think it may be because of the weird Chinese symbol that is after the "Pre-Activated 100"
I cannot rename it, modify it or anything. It is the only file I am having a problem with. Can anybody help me with my OCD?
Is your phone rooted? If yes, you can either use adb or just a terminal emulator app, and delete the cr.p of that file!
Edit: the command you're looking for:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
rm -r Download
That will remove the Download folder along with all its content. (this is irreversible)
