Yes
Under Root Settings you need to have "Up to Root" and "Mount File System (as writeable)" both checked. Then when you tap the properties option you should see the option to change the permissions.

Hi mates. I am experiencing issues in editing the build.prop. I mean: even if I can access the file, when I try to save it, it tells me I cannot...
I use file expert to browse and jota text to edit (both free). Es file explorer does not allow me to set root option...maybe it it's not working with note yet...
In any case I don't know what to do to save the new build.prop.
Any suggestions?
Thx to all...

Es explorer works well. u might have found it if u searched.
Just make sure that u have enabled root options in the settings.
No.
As I wrote before, I don't know why but Es doesn't allow me to have root options enabled, so I was forced to find a new root explorer. The problem is that I can't save the new build.prop: the app tells me it cannot save the file...
Suggestions?

Install File Expert, go to settings and enable "Root Explorer" (under "File Explorer Settings"), go back, press menu, more and then "Mount".
/system is mounted RO by default.
use a shell and as root type
Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
you should get a full access now to all /system filesystem.
THANKS

Thx mate. It worked. After chose the option "Mount", I edit also the properties of the file (write,read,all...). After that, File expert allowed me to choose the app to open the text file: I choose ES text, because Jota text continued not saving the file. I finally saved the build.prop file.
THX.

Thank you too.
uff!! what a pain in the ....ss!
Thanks guys! I enabled the Root checkbox, but I cant mount!
I get a Mount failed message.
I tried to be in the / directory when issued the Mount command for RW (using GUI in that application), and being inside /system as well - same error.
I've granted the application Superuser permissions, so thats not it.
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
I figured I had rooted my TP but have just tried to change some file attributes (so I can delete a ui image from moboot) only to find that it won't let me. I've tried accessing the files in ES Explorer and Root Explorer with no luck so now am wondering whether my TP is rooted at all?
Can anyone tell me how to do it (root the TP and change permissions of files) please?
Thanks
In es file explorer in settings you need to select "root explorer" and "mount system" then you can long press on a file and select properties and change permissions.
Thanks mate. Will try that right now. Cheers
Can anyone recommend a file editor? I'm trying to update a feature.xml file using es file explorer. I can open the file and make a change. But it doesn't save it. It just says can't save. I'm rooted and have supersu installed.

You have to change system properties before you can save files in the system folder.
In Es File explorer click the menu button and open tools. Scroll down to root explorer and turn it on. Then tap it and select Mount R/W. Change "/system" to be RW and hit OK.
Now any file in the system folder can be edited, written, saved, or deleted so be careful. Once you are finished editing repeat the process to mount "system" as RO. Depending on what you did you may need to reboot for changes to take effect.

Great Thanks. It's working now.
I'm rooted with tmobile unlocked usa phone, I was trying to edit things in build prop with root explorer and it doesn't let me do any thing, I even tried to use SQLite editor and it returns with database is currently used
- Open Root Explorer
- Root/system/build.prop
- Press 'Mount r/w' on top
- r/w should now be displayed on left, where r/o was previously displayed.
- Long press build.prop
- Press 'Open in Text Editor'
- Press the text line you want to change*
* Proceed with caution
- Take a look here in post #1 under 'Root Explorer Method' for more info.
(Step #4 will not apply regarding your inquiry.)

Update/Edit:
See posts below.
I've included a screenshot.
The problem is Root Explorer does not allow you to edit text file more than 10kB.
If you have this problem, use ES File Explorer.
