Thanks for the useful app. I have a stupid problem hope anyone give me a solution.
My device is S-ON, TWRP, UNLOCKED, Android 5.0.2 I flashed SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip in TWRP, and use Root Checker checked my access, but when I want to add script file in "su.d" folder, I can't find the "su" folder in root directory, system folder or anywhere in MiXplorer/Root Explorer with root access, I even tried flash SuperSU again. Could anyone tell me why and how to add files to su folder? Thank you!
------
PS. I want su folder because I flashed AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip but AdAway didn't work, also tried this but as I said, there is no su folder.

two ways to change your hostname
1. open edit /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf with your favorite text editor. under "interface eth0", type: hostname yourdesiredhostname
2. open your favorit terminal emulator, type: vi /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf
make above mentioned changes.
-> reboot and it should be working. try to ping your device from another piece of hardware in your home network
if you want to change your hosts file - do the same with /etc/hosts ^^
I keep getting this line...
mv: can't remove '/etc/hosts': Read-only file system
is your device rooted? if yes, you have either so mount your root file system as writeable in your file explorer (if it supports root access, like ES File Explorer), or you have to type "su root" at the beginning of your terminal emulator operations.
same problem with a rooted and unlocked device

my device is rooted with kingroot I have installed root explorer and ES file explorer too with giving them root permission as well , but when ever I tried to delete or edit hosts file nothing gets change (with root explorer) and with ES file explorer it says " read only file " I tried to change the permission in properties but failed to save the check boxes result. oh man I forget to mention my problem here my cell is infected by a "freedom" app when finally I found it useless I changed the freedom app setting to "freecore" my device got reboot after that I uninstalled the app , now I am unable to connect with google servers , can't use play store , I also tried hosts file Editor but got no result I know my problem is to delete the hosts file , but something is not letting me to take control over hosts file , my android is 5.1 and model is huawei honor 4c ?
Need to load an app on my phone that can detect the presence of superuser.apk and su, so I'm trying to delete those items. I installed them by flashing a zip in recovery. However, due to the kernel level r/w protection on /system, I can't delete superuser or su by normal means (i.e., a root file explorer).
Anybody know how I can get rid of them? I assume I need some sort of a flashable zip, but haven't found one. Thanks.
Edit: Never mind. Figured out that if I just delete the /system folder from the SuperSU zip, the updater script automatically deletes all old superuser files, and then has no source for the new files. So basically it just removes SuperSU and su. I think that got the job done.
Hi!
Sorry for the noob question but how do I gain full access (specifically write access) to system/app? I am rooted with NUTs .681 and every time I try to copy/paste a file into system/app I get permission denied. I am using ES file explorer with root explorer set to "ON".
I have tried a few apps from the playstore but none of them work!
An easy way would be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan
Try this test to check if root working properly
Install Android Terminal Emulator from Play Store
From terminal emulator type "su" without quotes
Check if any superuser app prompt your answer to grant it using root privileges
If you're asked, then your root working properly.
Now type "mount -o remount,rw /system". Is it still permission denied? If so, so your problem is Sony RIC. If it's success, then your /system can be wrote now. Try to copy something to /system now. Check if the permission still denied or granted.

First of all you have full root.
I have xplore as file manager and allows me to modify any directory phone with xplore test application you headed to options> settings> access root> root + mount script and ready
I have a T-Mobile HTC M7 converted to GPE, recently flashed to Lollipop from KK 4.4.4. I use Tasker and OpenRecoveryScript to automate Nandroid backups through TWRP, then use FolderSync to upload said backup to my server over WiFi. My method worked perfectly until I flashed to Lollipop.
Since flashing to Lollipop, whether through Tasker or manually, I get an error in FolderSync saying the Nandroid files can't be read or copied. If I use TWRP's file manager, I can view the Nandroid folders/files, but those same files are not viewable using ES File Explorer in Lollipop. When I navigate to TWRP\BACKUPS\{Serial Number} folder in ES File Explorer, the {Serial Number} folder (where the TWRP backups are) is listed as a 0k(zero) file that can't be read or copied. When I try to create a new folder (in the BACKUPS folder) using ES File Explorer I get an error saying the operation failed.
Just this morning I restored a Nandroid backup using TWRP, and now in ES File Explorer my entire SDcard folder is blank (not true, as all my apps still function), but in TWRP file manager the SDcard folder is fine. At first I thought the problem was with ES File Explorer, but I tried a few different file explorers with the same result (FX File Explorer tells me 'Access was Denied' when trying to view the sdcard folder. ) All file managers I've tried have root access.
I thought Lollipop fixed the sdcard problems from KK, but this is a whole new one for me. Is there an issue with Lollipop not being able to read files that are written through recovery/TWRP? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In a terminal app type
Su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Thanks for the help Ajxx16. Tried your suggestion and get: tmp-mksh: restorecon: not found
You have root correct?

Yes. Rooted running SuperSu 2.37 and TWRP 2.8.1.0. I also tried applying the restorecon patch through TWRP's terminal. It seems like it did something, but again when I boot back into the system, sdcard folder listed as empty. I just flashed a Nandroid backup I had of 4.4.4 and no sdcard issue. I'm going to update back to 5.01 (slowly, monitoring each step) to see if I can troubleshoot when the issue starts again, if at all (which wouldn't bother me if it didn't, really).
So I updated from 4.4.4 and ran into the same issue. It turns out the ROM I was updating from somehow did not have restorecon in the system/bin folder. I was able to find a 5.01 GPE RUU, flashed that, applied restorecon fix, and issue is resolved. Thanks for the help Ajxx16!
When you try and toggle the "Root Explorer" switch to enable root in ES File Explorer, you are met with and error
"Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device. Root Explorer"
Use another root explorer app with root permissions, and copy the contents of /su/bin/ (about 7 files) and paste them inside /system/xbin/
Now try turning root explorer on in ES File Explorers Tools setting
It should now turn on and work fine

Thank you[emoji106]!!
It works fine on G900F Marshmallow rooted with SuperSU 2.72 systemless!
Inviato dal mio SM-G900F utilizzando Tapatalk
Thanks for the hint!
But this error made me change from ESFE to FX + Root Add On.
It's more comfortable in my opinion.
Perfect! Thanks!!!

Thank you very much! Worked on my 900F as well!
Great
Thank you so much for a solution :highfive:
New ES File Explorer version now supports Systemless root. Works on my Note 5
If this happens after installing a new ROM you must enable developer options and then set route and then restart the phone or tablet and then that won't happen
Great, thank you.
ES File explorer root error
Thanks, works great!
Titanium Backup
Thanks for the hint (works also with secure settings)
Unfortunately Titanium Backup doesn't recognize root anymore
It got a problem with the /system/xbin/su command.
Still no success. I followed your steps still failed to get root access
Same here with jiayu s3 on Android 7.1 fom M.A.D.
Edit: Got Root Access with copying /su from rootdirectory to system/bin...
Hi!
I have es file explorer version 4.1.4.3 and I have root access without problems
This method works for me, though I'm running a Note Edge MM 6.0.1
I'm on the J7 and having this problem because of Samsung. Moving the files to xbin doesn't work with Root Explorer. Says Copy failed. So even after it's mounted RW I can't copy and paste files. Strangely I was able to rename a file. Don't know why.
Did this trick. But copy still failed even though ES File Explorer got root successfully.
(FYI: Trying to copy sound files into the system.)
Any other ideas?
I am fed up with Samsung!!!
FOR ANY SAMSUNG: Figured it out. All my folder access troubles are Knox's fault! But I had to do a command line trick along with disabling Knox.
You'll need: Root Package Disabler and Terminal Emulator
*So after rooting get either Titanium Backup Pro (not free) or Root Package Disabler (free) or Package Disabler Pro (not free). (They do the same thing.)
*Open the program you installed. Find anything with "knox" in the name and disable it. I, personally, disabled Lookout as well because it often doesn't like advanced root apps or modifications. But it shouldn't block ES File Explorer.
*Open Terminal Emulator. Put in the commands below, one-at-a-time. Hit Enter after each. REBOOT WHEN YOUR DONE. (Source here.)
Code:
su
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Code:
touch /sbin/su /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /system
Code:
exit
Reboot and Root ES File Explorer again.
Note: ES File Explorer won't copy files to the system or other sensitive folders. You still need "Root Explorer" or maybe "Solid Explorer" for that. This makes ES File Explorer useless to me. However, you still need the steps above to copy sensitive system files in the other root enabled file browsers. So do it anyway.
Hi guys! I know this is an old thread and Samsung Space, but i still use ES File Explorer Pro 1.1.4.1 because i like it. But somehow i lost root. Don't know how and why, everything worked fine on my rooted (with Magisk 23.0) Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 with Android 10 (Sorry for that, but i didn't find anything else in the www about this problem). Now i receive the same message "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device." and don't know how to solve this. I uninstalled and reinstalled ESFX, deleted it from the list of rooted Apps in Magisk and it asked for the permissions again.... fine..... granted! But still i can't activate it's root explorer. This doesn't work :
" Use another root explorer app with root permissions, and copy the contents of /su/bin/ (about 7 files) and paste them inside /system/xbin/"
....because there is no "/su/bin" and therefore i can't copy anything.

Same issue here. I ended up copying all files from any folder containing "bin" (sbin, xbin, bin) to /system/xbin to no avail.
Not sure if it is accurate, but it seems like it is, but old ES cannot work on devices that have systemless root.
