Everytime I try to copy the file from the directory above with adb it will say "no such file or directory" even though it is there when I list it? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

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?

The " around the path worked. Thanks!
Now that I have root explorer installed how do I use it? Can I put it on my home screen?
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.
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)
I have a Samsung S3501 and i try to extract the bml5.img file but it does not work. I have rooted yje phone using Kingo and I got a reply telling that it was successfull. I have activated the USB-debugging on th phone device. From the PC emulator I enter the 'adb shell' and 'su' commands before I copy the file entering 'cat /dev/block/bml5>/sdcard/bml5.img'. It returns 'No cuch file or directory'. Then I try again excluding the 'block' path but I receive th same error message. I see on my phone under the sdcard folder that there is actually a file called bml5.img copied to it and I send it to the computer using 'adb pull /sdcard/bml5.img '. It is copied to the PC but IT IS EMPTY!!!. Looks like the path is wrong or something else is wrong and that an empty dummy file is created. Can somebody confirm that this is what it does and do you have any clue why and did anyone else get the same problem. What do I do now? I would be very happy if someone could help me since I am out of ideas and close to give up Thanks in advance, Jane :crying: :fingers-crossed:
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.
