You have to have root for one. Then you have to mount /system/ as rw.
Does anyone know how to view driver files? I have root explorer and I can copy all system files to view on the computer. But drivers just do nothing when I try to grab them and they won't copy and paste.
I have the original Droid phone. Thus, to tether it to my CN I need to get the CN able to work with Ad-Hoc. I had come to the conclusion the only way to accomplish this was via the ADB shell. The problem is I cannot get ADB to work.
So, that being said, and before I bury another 4 or 5 hours into this, is there another way to get my CN working with my Droid?
Yes, you can do it on your nook using certain apps. I've done it with Root Explorer(paid app), which allows you to alter/replace/change permissions on any system file. Other file manager type programs might be able do this too, maybe even some free ones, but the only one I can verify is root explorer.

Do you mind posting instructions, or a link to how you did it? I have this exact same situation as the OP (Droid 1/NC).
"Easy Tether" for rooted Droid phones works perfectly for me. It's a Market download and free -- creates an infrastructure network the CN can see and use rooted or unrooted. Rooting your phone (if not already) is pretty quick and easy as compared to rooting the Nook. I have a Droid X.
I have both easy tether and root explorer. Easy tether will not work as it requires a cable connection.
Can you explain what i need to do with root explorer?

Place the patched wpa_supplicant file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868354 somewhere on your sdcard.
Open Root Explorer and navigate to the file on the sdcard.
Copy the file.
Navigate to system/bin
Mount R/W
Rename your original wpa_supplicant file to wpa_supplicant.bak
Paste the new file. (make sure the name is as the original)
Reboot your nook.
Thank you so much!!! Worked great!

Hmmm, won't start wifi at all now. When I pasted the new file should the name be wpa_supplicant or wpa_supplicant.adhocfix? I used the former.

Clarify this step for me. Im confused at reading this.
You say to copy then rename original file, then paste. By original file do you mean the one on the sdcard and not the one being pasted?
Could i just pasti into system/bin , and then rename that file? Im just trying to clear this up?

Yes. You could just paste then rename the wpa_supplicant.adhocfix to wpa_supplicant. I wanted you to renam the original file in your system/bin to wpa_supplicant.bak so you woul have a backup of the original just in case something goes wrong.

went home and did this. THANKS!!!! Saw my IP4 MYWI network right away.
It works!! Thanks!
Under 1.1 I found that the ADHOC supplicant was so infuriatingly unstable it was almost unusable, and the lack of reconnect on wakeup was such a pain. this has been the major benefit of moving to Froyo for me - adhoc is seamless.
Hi Im almost done with it but I'm not sure how to rename the file. I'm using root explorer for some reason ADB is not pushing the file. I'm running 1.1 on my nc. I'm in root explorer and I got all the way to copy the file mount r/w and then i'm stuck.
Please help. I'm so close.
Hey bono quick ? when you use froyo is it on the sd card or is on the nook itself. I'm not sure how to get that far. I'm mad because I can't get these files right so that I can connect to my wireless tether through my phone. I'm so close. I finally got ADB to work but I can't push the files to the nook. I'm so lost right now.
Hi guys i want to move a mp3 ringtone to internal storage on my OB also i cant create a folder. Please help me guys i have the latest CM nightly, Thanks in advance!
Take root explorer or ES File Explorer to do the task. You need to mount your filesystem, to be able to write. Then just Copy and paste it
how do i do that ? i already have root explorer and es file explorer
You have to enable it in the settings of ES File Explorer.

Open ES file manager push menu/options button, settings, scroll down to root explorer, check the box, click allow this app to have SuperUser rights and save the setting (check box), mount datasystem (/ and /system mount) (it s a checkbox below root explorer), copy your file and paste it wherever you want to

try freespace [root] to googleplay to see if you really have available space on your system.. then if you don't have free space,just try to remove some bloatware on your phone or delete some ringtone,notification sounds.. to gain some space on your system partition..

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.
