Hey guys,
I just went and purchased Root Explorer because I thought it might be a handy App to have. I boot it up and the SuperUser box requests permission, I allow and remember it.
But, Root Explorer wants none of this and just displays this:
Root access could not be obtained because su failed with the following message:
FIX ME! implement ttyname() bionic/libc/bionic/stubs.c:360
Make sure you granted root permission when requested by SuperUser. If you did then try re-rooting your device.
Root Explorer will continue in non-root mode.

I am sure my phone is rooted correctly, all my other "root required" Apps work just fine (and that "su" trick in Terminal returns the #), it's just Root Explorer that doesn't like it. I really don't want to have to re-root the phone... Can anyone make something of that error?
Else { what's involved in re-rooting?
No one?
try to clear SU cache+ root explorer cache from app management and then try to re-grant permissions to root explorer. if this does not work, then just remove root explorer and just redownload it. maybe it is a broken download/install.

Thanks for the help, but, nope, didn't work...
I tried clearing the cache of both SU and RE, didn't work... Tried clearing the cache, then uninstalling, then re-installing... Still didn't work.
It can't be my root itself, as I've said, everything else works just fine...
EDIT: Could it have something to do with the "NAND Unlock" and "S-OFF" I keep hearing? I never did any of this when I originally rooted my Desire, though I do have an older model that - as far as I know - doesn't come with those extra security blocks. Plus, all other apps work with root just fine...
Its not the nand protection, that dosent stop you getting root access, just prevents you from writing to certain parts of the nand....

Ok guys, the latest update for Root Explorer seems to have fixed it. Despite the changelog not having anything relevant to my problem... Either way, it works now
Thanks guys

Hey Guys.
I "rooted" my HTC Desire by T-Mobile using Unrevoked3.
Then i flashed a Pre-Rooted Froyo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Now i wanted to use the "Root Explorer" to remove Apps like "FriendStream" and stuff.
I was able to delete them, but the still keep running.
Then i rebooted and they are still there although deleted with Root Explorer and Super-User permit.
Is it possible that unrevoked is just a "*****-root" i can just use to flash Images but not for mounting /system (R/W) and removing Apps?
What can i do now? Hope u can help me

the desire dosent have an unlocked spl yet so even a rooted desire dosent have r/w access to /system/ when booted, there are two ways around it, either delete the apps using adb in recovery mode or flash a rom that utilises the new file overlay system that will give you r/w access to /system/
It more or less sounds like you don't understand the meaning of being root. On a system like android, running something with root or superuser permissions will normally allow the app or command to have full access and rights. This is gained by adding a binary called su and the superuser app, which is for controlling which apps gets root access. So actually unrevoked or any other root methods is not about gaining root, but about being able to put these files on the system partition, which it also does.
Now this is not the case on newer HTC handsets, because they have nand protection, which prevent write access to /system even though an app is run with root access. this is controlled by hboot, and in order to allow rw to /system, we will need an s-off hboot. This is not yet available, but the unrevoked team is working on it.
So the socalled "*****" root just shows me that you don't know, what you are talking about
edit: for now if you want to remove apps, you will need to flash a new rom, where you have removed the apk files yourself, or you will have to learn some adb commands, which you can use to edit system partition while in recovery with rw access.
Using adb in Recovery to backup/remove them is very simple (for removal i.e adb shell rm dir/name.apk) however many default apps break other workings and/or cause confusing unexpected errors if removed. I learnt first hand when removing many pre-installed apps. So be careful and always backup.

How can I tell which roms utilize the new file overlay system? Im also having the same problem especially with programs starting up after I've disabled them.

We have s-off now. Look for that, or use adb.

Hello
I have HenseMOD7 with link2sd
but after restarting my phone I m getting link2sd root access denied or superuser acess denied
i tried superuser app but it doesn't show the application.
Delete link2sd. Reboot. Install again..
Also double check if the file was there or not. If still the problem occurs, set permission level in superuser from prompt to allow.

Delete superuser and reinstall it or control if you have upgraded su binary.. if it downgrade from 3.2 to 3.1.1 you have to make it

Hello,
Trying to root a 2nd Gen Kindle Fire.. Using -Bin4ry's Root & -QemuRoot
Although it looked like QemuRoot didn't finish it would just stop, I checked the root and it looks like the kindle is rooted. So now I want to install google play. I used tried to use this method. Which has me changing the root settings in ES File. But when I enable Root Explorer it asks me which Room I have HiAPK or Cyanogen. I don't have either. Do I have to install one of these custom Roms before being able to get GPlay installed?
I ask this cuz if I just choose one off the rooms. Then enable Mount File System an error comes up saying it can't see the SD card and wont allow for anything else to happen so ES crashes.
What am I doing wrong?

look up an app called "root browser" and sideload it, works better in my opinion for changing things in the root of the device.

No, Google Play should work on stock. If you don't have a superuser app (SuperSU, Superuser, etc), you are not rooted.
Even if you are rooted, I would unroot and root again because it sounds like Qemu wasn't done after all. I would use Bin4ry because it worked better for me.
I am trying to uninstall my system Youtube app which I have installed a modded version of and my phone will not let me. The reason I am doing this is because I want to install the new 5.0 update but the update always fails. Yes I have root permissions, Yes I have tried using root explorer in ES File Explorer, Yes I have granted SuperUser Permissions to all the apps I have tried to do it with, Yes I have tried removing the app using console emulator, Yes I have cleared the data for the Youtube app and Disabled it, Yes I have tried remounting the system partition to allow RW access but it always goes back to read only!! everything I have tried keeps giving me the error READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM! I have used Root apps before and they all worked, why when I try to do something so simple it doesnt work? I have searched around on google and havent seen anyone with the problem I'm having. If it is a problem with the modded apk then there HAS to be a way to remove, in fact as I write this I am conctacting the developer via E-Mail. Please help!
BTW this modded YouTube apk was created by theos0o and I downloaded it from this forum!
Hey! So yesterday I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3704592 to unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and root my Oneplus 5T (needed a complete whatsapp chat backup and not only the last 40k messages..) and since I've always used solid explorer because I love it, I'm using it now as well. My problem as stated in the title is, that the root directory shows up as empty and when I try to create a folder there it says access denied. Other apps that require root, such as SD Maid or Titanium Backup work properly, they ask me if they can get root access. Solid Explorer doesn't. Please see the screenshots below!

Also installed SuperSU from the playstore but solid explorer doesn't show up in apps, sd maid does. Should I maybe try to unroot it and flash Magisk instead?

Retry with Magisk before anything else, please.
