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.

I resolved it. I needed Busybox.
Hi all
Is there any way I can change the file permissions on multiple files within a specific /system folder?
Root explorer can be done as one file at a time which by the end would mean I'd have lost a decade...
Pls help..
I have Galaxy Note with ICS 4.0.4, and my note already root, my question is why I couldn't change/edit txt file with Root Browser.
When I opened the file, it can be opened and edited, and after I save the file, reopen it, it still the same with the old one (before edit).
Can someone here tell me why and how to edit in system file?
Thx
How can you justify this thread in Dev section?
Mods please move to Q&A

Sounds like you don't have full root, try to paste a system app in system/app folder (& set permissions), if the file won't paste you need to root your phone,
There's enough guides for this so no point in repeating them.
If it will paste, then post your query including what you're trying to achieve in Q&A section or pm me, see if I can help.

I've already tested with copy, delete, rename & change file properties at system files.
It will work temporary only if I do a setting on "ES File Explorer" application. I have to go to setting and uncheck and check the Mount File System (Mount / . / system as writable).
But it worked only temporary, the file properties will back to before, only copy, delete, rename files still remain.
If after sometimes, I want to copy or delete or edit a file, I have to do the same procedure again with the help of "ES File Explorer" app.
The problem is, the file system cannot be changed if using some program like Volume+, CallRecorder, so the application didn't effect, even with the setting above.
Note : I've already checked with Root Checker application, ant it's said "Already Rooted"
Now I am using ICS 4.0.4 official for my Galaxy Note.
Ugrade from Gingerbread to CS with Mobile ODIN from Play Store.
Any suggestion which I can do to set the system, so it won't always return to lock the file (not editable) ?
Thx
Go to settings of es and root setting N make sure all 4 options are checked.

I have the same problem with es file manager. It seems like it can´t get root access. Root file explorer works so i have root but it´s interesting to know why.
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.
