I have Root Explorer installed and I am trying to rename a file in the directory system\media and copy a new .zip file to the location. When I have executed the process it changes back to original file.
I have checked the Mount R/W button at the top of Root Explorer as well.
I have checked to make sure the superuser is in the whitelist for Root Explorer.
I also can not add .apk files to the apps folder as well.
What can I do to resolve this.
TIA.

Friends....I have two TWRP backup on my HTC ONE. I want to transfer them on my PC so hat i can save 4 GB of disk space but for some reason i cannot copy the main file which is around 1.5 gb and is named 'system.ext4.win'. I tried copy/cut both but of no use. When i copy and paste in same location it gives error that cannot copy 'system.ext4.win'. Plz help :crying::crying:. Just for added info I can copy all other things like Titanium backup
Older versions of TWRP incorrectly set the permissions. Use root explorer or ES File Explorer to set the permissions properly.

Thanks, but I can't locate the option to edit 'permission'. I'm using ES explorer. Can you plz guide ?
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!

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.
Hi,
I was not going anywhere when I asked this at other section and hopefully in this Note 9 section I can resolve my query. Here is my problem; I was tried to rename .ogg files on my rooted Samsung Note 9(Oreo) and unable to do it. I found limited information. I can rename the .ogg files in the older Android Jelly Bean to Marshmallow though.. What I have tried so far from these app and failed;
1. ES explorer
2. root explorer
3. mixplorer
4. total commander
Permission for "RW" only can set on "mixploer", and "root explorer" but after tried to copy over the root folder, it prompted failed to copy. Although I can set ES exploere to "RW" mode but it fools you to believe it has rename the file but in reality it was unable to, what a screw up.. Anyone has successfully rename any .ogg files in root folders? Thanks in advance.
