[Q] I'm rooted - shouldn't I be able to see files in the root folder? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm rooted and on Android Revolution HD 7.0
When I try to access the root folder in explorers ES, Astro and Solid they ask for SuperUser permission, which I grant but then the folders show empty.
I had problems a few days ago (see link) - where I ended up sideloading a ROM from my computer - could this be the cause?

Can you see them in Astro, ES or Solid Explorer?

Can be a issue with the read and write with the Rom. Might need to flash latest version if Nike fixed it or whatever

[Q] Any free Root File Explorer (can't buy apps here)?

Guys,
Is there any free root explorer?
I live in Brazil and I can't buy paid applications from here. :-(
I need to backup some files (efs folder for instance) before updating the FW soon.
Also, is there anything special I should care to backup for security reasons?
(I dont need to backup any apps or settings)
I have the Euro I9000 with JFB/JF5.
Thanks,
Paulo
Why don't you just mount the phone using Kies or mount it as a USB Mass storage and copy the whole sdcard? No apps needed.

If you are looking for Root Explorer I assume that you are already rooted, then why don't just get yourself Market Enabler from the market and you're ready to buy any app you want!

Yes, I'm already rooted. I'll try that. Thanks.
Meanwhile, what are the important files to back up for security reasons, before fw update?
I hear a lot of talk about product code, efs folder, etc.
So, what should I backup (as root) before flashing?
I don't need to backup any apps or settings.
Thanks.
Anyone?
Thanks

ES File Explorer and File Expert do for free what Root Explorer does for money.
ES File Explorer is the better one, because it also connects with Dropbox.

If Titanium Backup doesn't remove it for you try Super Manager with root access enabled it its settings menu
Latest gmail 2.3.2 apk
Just place onto your sdcard and then install.
Works fine on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000
Yes. it is very simple. And I find this always works:
Install the new version, if it fails, reboot the phone or restart the Java VM. Do the install again. Done.
I have the same problem with the last apk of Gmail and with Launcher Pro Plus.
I have solved both in the same way, deleting the original with SUBFS or another root explorer.
i have the same problem.
then,i take a gmail APP form CM 6.1 to install...
i'll done~
try it!
guess this is still for 2.2 only? i've seen various threads on other forums claiming there's a 2.1 version goin around and im not sure if it's modded or not

Just search in the market for "root file manager. "Root Explorer" is by far the best in my opinion.

Folder Mount HTC Butterfly S

Is there anyone who can successfully use Folder Mount on HTC Butterfly S stock ROM version 2.21.708.1 CL288207 (901S)?
I was not able to patch the ext-SD write permission since updating my phone to Android 4.3.
I wonder if it is related to the system write protection on HTC devices. But flashing the Root WP mod doesn't help.
Anyone here got any advice?
Thanks in advance!

I did the same. Even after I mounted read write to system, when I tried to mount folder with folder mount, it kept showing problem fixing external sdcard ownership and the patch simply didn't stay after reboot.
Have u encountered the same thing? It only occurred after I updated to Android 4.3
Attached the photo for reference. Thanks a lot!

The problem is that you don't have /system write permissions when applying the patch. Usually, wp_mod, supersu(chainfire) and busybox (from koniik message) should fix the issue. If it doesn't help, I can send you patched file from my phone, so you'll try to replace it manually and see if it solves the extsd permissions. There were such problems with old FolderMount versions.I had spoken with madmack (creator of FolderMount) when the first rom based on android 4.3 was released and he fixed that stuff. As soon as S-Off was available, I applied it not to have such access problems.
I have flashed chainfire supersu and busybox already. I tried the wp mod but nothing happened. I used the same wp mod in Android 4.2.2 before and it worked perfectly in 4.2.2 But not so in 4.3.
May i know what versions of supersu, busybox and wp mod you are using? Thank you ever so much!

I'm not on stock 4.3, so I can't advise you anything. I use maximus11 with busybox flashed from recovery (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483869 ) and I have an S-Off.
Thanks so much. At last I flashed the Maximus ROM, used koniik busybox, S-off and then mount RW to system using ES Explorer.
Finally able to patch the extsd permission and use folder mount!
Thank you very much indeed!
