So I did the whole Kingroot/Sunshine thing. Now I can't access the phone's files when I plug it into my computer. It shows it in Explorer but it says "this folder is empty". Any suggestions? Thanks
Never mind. I just loaded wifi file transfer to move files back and forth. Thanks

Hi,
So a few days ago i wanted to put files in the obb folder to install some apks. However, when i connected it to my computer, I didn't see any obb folder, so I tried creating one. But every time I tried to create the folder the device kept disconnecting. I have tried creating the folder with USB debugging off and on, with a rooted phone as well as a non-rooted phone, from my computer and from file managers on the phone, but nothing works. What is strange is that when i create the obb folder from a file manager on my, it does create it and i can go into it and i can see the obb of many apps there, but as soon as i come out the folder, the folder vanishes. Someone help please?
obb Folder
Hi there, I had the same problem, but I think the new moto X used the folder Data instead of obb, thats the solution I found for me.
So i had to get my N6 replaced becasue the top speaker was all wacked out, so i got the new one and hope someone can help me (i know there will be ) first i'm trying to copy the titanium backup files, i keep getting an error on certain files saying "cannot copy, device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" when clearly neither of those things have happened. I am on stock rooted & unencrypted. I tried searching but found no answer to this..
Just created an update.zip but when i look on the computer, i cannot see the file..
how are you trying to copy the backup files?
I usually copy it to an online storage (dropbox/box etc). Make sure you download and restore it to your new phone before wiping/returning your old phone.
I'll try dropbox, what i did was had it create an update.zip which contains apps+data so i could flash it in recovery on the new phone. I can see the file with root explorer on the sdcard, but when i plug it in to the computer i don't see the file..
I'm trying to drag the tibu folder to dropbox and it won't do anything...

Are read/write permissions set on the file/directory?
Try moving it to your phones "Downloads" directory and see if it shows on your computer? Enable "view hidden file types".
rwxrwx-- the only part not checked is where it says others..
Edit: I tried checking the boxes next to others and it said permissions could not be changed..

Ok i have it syncing to dropbox now, i 've never used dropbox to sync data so i did some reading and found out how. What i couldn't find was after it syncs to dropbox, do i restore apps+data to the replacement phone?
Non existant file transfers only to "Download" folder. other folders are fine.
Background: I used TWRP to completely wipe my Nexus 6. Through Windows I made a folder called "Download" and put my ROM and SuperSU in there which transferred fine. Installed ElementalX 3.0.
Now when I transfer files from my PC to the Download directory, I just get a moving bar and the files never actually transfer. I have only waited about 5 minutes then gave up. Once I cancel the transfer, Windows loses connection with the phone and I have to re-plug the USB cable in. The problem only occurs when I try to transfer to the Download directory. I can transfer files from my computer to any other folder of the phone with no problems. I also cannot delete the Download directory using Windows Explorer, and two file manager programs on the phone called File Manager, and ES Explorer. The Download directory also has two files, SuperSU and ElementalX, which cannot be deleted. It's not a major issue, but it's bugging me.
Oh, my Android skill level is novice wannabe so be gentle with the big fancy words. However, after a few short hours of owning the phone I did figure out how to ROOT and install a custom ROM, so I ain't totally stupid - just mostly.
check the file permissions on those files and the folder, ES Explorer can likely do that I don't use ES but I know its well featured. Its the only thing I could think of off the top of my head.

Reboot into recovery. Go to advanced, file manager. Browse to that Downloads folder, hit select, then choose delete.
Should get rid of it for you.
I'm assuming that you made the Downloads folder originally through TWRP while it was connected as an MTP device? If so, sometimes it can do weird things while in recovery. While the MTP driver works in TWRP, it's not extremely mature and is really just there as a convenience for folks that aren't comfortable with the standard command line stuff.

Thanks man. That sorta worked. There was a section in ES where I could change all permissions to RW. I don't know if that effected things but after I did that I renamed the Download folder to Downloads with an 's'. I was able to recreate another Download directory and now I can download stuff from the net as I wasn't able to with the old Download directory. This seemed like a patch but at least things were better. However, I then read Yoinx's post and it worked and complete got rid of the bad folder.

You sir are a bloody genius. Worked like a charm.
I am going to explain this as well as I can. When I wiped everything with TWRP (I didn't mean to. It was just a noob mistake) I was no longer able to see my phone's files on my computer. If I am not mistaken, it did show the phone hooked up, but no files, or even "internal storage" were showing - I could be wrong. I needed to copy SuperSU and the ElementalX ROM from my computer to my phone but I was screwed. I fiddled about in TWRP, and I believe it was under "Mount" where I was able to check/tick all the folders that were unchecked. I am assuming since they were unchecked, Windows could not see the files on my phone. After checking/ticking the folders, I hooked the phone up to the PC and the N6 showed up. I made the Download directory in Windows and copied the ROM and SuperSU that way.
Also, I don't even know what an MTP device is. Maybe I did what you said as I was sort of clicking here and there to see if this or that would work. I was in semi panic mode so I don't remember every single thing I did. Anyways brother thank you so much for your help. Here's some nice delicious Hawaiian pineapple for ya.

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?

I restore data to alot of my apps and games by transferring them between my devices "/android/data" and "/android/obb" folders.
With the pixel 5, it seems I can only read what's in these folders, not write. I've tried stock tile explorer as well as root file explorers and neither can write to these folders.
I even tried to move them from my PC over to the pixel 5, and as soon as a write is attempted to the folders the device "quits responding" until you quit the operation.
Any other way to drop files and or modify files in these folders? I have root.
I have modified some files by first copying them to storage, modify then copy back, using root explorer. You may have to change the attributes
AFAIK the only way to transfer data to android/data is through a computer. I just moved save file data for Soccer Manager 2021 there. Not rooted. Edit, just read your whole post (yeah I'm stupid lol) no idea why you couldn't do it, maybe try playing around with folder permissions?
You can't access files there from an explorer app on your own phone, but you can through windows. Weird.
