Title. Nothing will update, nothing will install. I'm afraid to reboot. What can I do?
Device -- Xperia Play R800X
Adb push or root explorer the folder to /system from the unzipped rom
what device?
Whole folder at once would be easier but doesn't matter just make sure permission are rwxr-xr-x
Easiest way to change perms is with a root file explorer, I use es explorer in settings enable root then mount system as write, long hold the file, goto properties then change permission. Or adb remount chmod not sure of the actual perm set you'll have to search.

Never figured out how to change perms. Should I download source and do it like that?
Okay, now where can I get the bin folder? Should I factory reset? Would that work?
Unzip the ROM drill to system/

I moved Mms.apk and Mms.odex to /system/apps using Root Explorer, made sure that their permissions are right and they still don't show up in the app drawer. I'm stumbled...
Help?
Did you try and reboot the phone after pushing them to the app folder? Also make sure through Root Explorer that they did in fact push. Go back and check.

Just smack me.......
On the other hand, it's driving me nuts that /system mounts rw fine, but I still can't ./adb push anything - permission denied.
Run the command adb remount

Nada... tried that, tried the full one. mount shows it mounted rw, but can't write anything there. Only Root Explorer works for some reason...

what rom are you using?
Hello, how can I manually change the bootanimation.zip in Gingervillain? I can't delete the old or copy the new with "root explorer"
Can someone help!?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Cant you flash it from recovery? Only try if you know its flashable
Btw there's a few bootanimation in the villain setup in the app drawer, the eyesonlybob is a decent one
I've tried to flash some from recovery no luck.
I knove about the Villain setup, but I want to have this clean bootanimation, from a miui rom that only says ANDROID and on the button is a flower like cirkel.

Two ways for you :
Installation instructions:
Using Root Explorer:
Mount your phone to your PC and place the bootanimation.zip file at the root of your sdcard. Then using Root Explorer navigate to your sdcard, long press on the bootanimation.zip file until a popup menu appears. Select "Move" or "Copy". Once you select one, "Paste" and "Cancel" buttons will appear near the bottom of your screen. Now, press the back button to move to the root of your file system. Then navigate to data/local/ and then press "Paste". You'll be prompted to overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip. Press "OK". Then reboot.
Using ADB:
Download the zip file and place it in the tools directory of the Android SDK. Mount your phone. Then using a command prompt on your PC "cd" to the Android/tools directory and type the command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Hit enter, and once this command is done processing type reboot and hit enter.
No credit to me just copy paste from another site. Good luck and tell us if it's work !
Sooo Easy! Thank you!
The real deal root explorer did the trick.

i have a 2.2 rooted ROM and i need to edit the /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file to enable A2DP autoreconnect option.
Ive tried Root Explorer and ADB shell, but allow me to mount the fs as r/w and copy the edited file in, but when ive reboot the file is back to the original time/date and contents.
I also tried editing the file in Root explorer and it does the same.
what am i doing wrong here ?
I've used the Root Explorer to edit config files.....try opening it as a text editor through the root explorer. Edit the file and save it..it should automatically make a back up of the audio.conf file in addition to saving changes to the original file...
EDIT: Oops, it seems like you have already attempted to write changes using the text editor...I'm assuming that you've mounted the file system as r/w within Root Explorer before editing?...
You are not s-off. Either s-off or do it with adb while in recovery.

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.
Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V
Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?
Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

There is application on the market called system application mover

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

This is a well-known tip, but it certainly couldn't hurt to aggregate it here.
Once you've installed (or blithely ignored) HTC Sync Manager, you don't want to deal with a file browser popping up every time you plug in your phone. To remove it:
Flash a recovery image (for example, CWM)
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/etc/CDROM.ISO
adb shell umount /system
reboot
enjoy freedom
should it be 'unmount'?
No, the command is named "umount"
I just deleted the CDROM.ISO with Root Explorer. I didn't need to reboot before I connected it again, it was gone.

Do you need to root access to delete that? I just tried with es file explorer and it wouldn't delete. I'm stock unrooted.

Yes you do... any root file explorer will do the trick, and it does ask for root access when deleting that file.
I figured that was the case. I was rooted so long on my rezound that I never had to worry about it.

Thanks I've been wondering why that thing pops up. I'll just use Root Browser to get rid of that.
