I'm running on a rooted Z1C.
I already changed the settings so I can write on my sdcard.
I'm using ES File explorer,
in settings click on root and
mount everything I can see as R/W (/, /system, /mnt/idd, lta-label)
but I still can't write anything to /system or /system/etc.
I always get permission denied when copying a file.
I was able to do it with root explorer so now I'm still wondering why ES File explorer 3.1.6 can't do it.
How to solve this for ES File explorer?
I like to use only one file manager for those tasks.

Have you installed this app? I use ES File Explorer 3.1.6 on KitKat and I can copy or rename files to external SD.
Make sure you granted root access in your superSU or superuser app to es file explorer. It is working for me.

I already installed SDFIX.
SInce supersu 1.99r4 craches sometimes I decided to go back to SuperSU1.94.
But now I always get a message in ES File explorer when I try to set Root; your device does not support this.
When I try once again with Root explorer everything works fine.
So what's going on, do I need anolder version of ES File explorer, is there something wrong with version 3.1.6
If I open up suersu I can see ES File explorer in the list, do I need to specify a specific user for it?

I'm using 3.1.6 aswell. And no, you just need to grant it root access.

I've used unrevoked forever to get my s-off, but eveytime I try to delete/rename/copy a file to the /system directory I get an error. Anyway to fix this? I'm new XD
use the app root explorer , it allows you to enable write ability.
Root Explorer isnt free, and I can't buy it cuz...im 15
But I did try an app called "mount /system (rw/ro)". It tells me that the /system directory has been set to r/w, but when I use astro to browse to the folder, everything is still marked -ro
true true see ur PM. Does that app of your provide a file directory search or manager?
Astro doesn't have root capabilities. Use ES File Explorer (you have to enable root access in settings) or use Super Manager.

try running "Fix Permissions" in ClockworkMod then reboot
thats what did it for me when i had this issue
yup, use ES file explorer (I prefer root explorer, but as you noted, it's not free). You could also start learning to use adb to push/pull to system if you want. It comes in handy, knowing how to use adb. Definitely good to learn at some point.
If you're looking for stylus functionality from your tablet. You'll need to root it and use the app and tweaks found here.

Also worth doing if don't use stylus, you'll have a much more snappy tablet.
i am rooted, and using es file explorer with the root explorer and file mount checked, i cant get to the /system file

i'm using In Paris V5
- still kind of new to this, but i know how to read. Any idea's
You need to enable superuser in es file explorer under settings, i use root explorer and can't remember the precise location of the settings.

I had to set the root directory (i.e. /) as my home directory. From there you can navigate to /system/build.prop IIRC and make the necessary changes.
touch tune is great.
Did my research and found to rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak or to install fotakill.apk in system/app folder. I am rooted using ES File explorer with root access and is not allowing of either of these...

For anyone that comes across this. ES File Explorer, Tools, Root Explorer, Mount R/W and select directory to give read/write access.
Although I renamed it, the update still shows after reboot..

I was able to rename same file on rooted Samsung device and saw that this effectively disabled OTA Update messages on device. However, I have a question: Are there any Phone Manufacturers that may force an OTA on device and if so, will this method still work to avoid the undesired OTA update? Thanks in advance.

Also rename sdm1.0 in /system/app and delete the ota file located in /cache/fota directory.
Hi
I have rooted my p6 via eroot method. It seems to be rooted. I can install cwm touch, I can flash something, superuser works, but I can't rename the files in system, can't copy any files to system folder.
I used Es file explorer and root browser with granting root permissions. Both didn't work.
Any idea, solution? Thanks.
Hi,
Use another file Explorer like root Explorer...
Es file Explorer are my Favorit Explorer but i have the same problem at my p6.
If i aktivate the root Option it will not be fix this.
With an other root Explorer it works perfectly.

Because you also have to make the folders R/W (Read/Write)
With es file Explorer it doesent work. With every other root Explorer it works without any changes in file system settings.

Hey Guys,
I have rooted my OnePlus 3 and now I want to modify some system files with ES file explorer pro, but everytime I get the message " root not available" . I have granted access in supersu app. Root works with other apps.
Any solution?
This is an issue with ES File Explorer on Recent releases of SuperSU. Chainfire has mentioned it a lot times that ES devs need to fix it and he won't modify his supersu to make it work. So, ask ES Devs. You can see Chainfire 's Google+ SuperSU Changelog to know more about this.
Best Regards,
Naman.
Thanks bro!

Maybe try a previous version of SU.
I am using SU v2.74 Systemless with ES File Explorer Pro v1.0.7(Market) without any problems.

I have the SU v2.78 with ES File Explorer Pro v1.0.7(Market) and still get problems. The crapy thing is, the ES File Explorer free version (non-pro) works with root -.-
Since most probably you use the root explorer feature only on very rare occasions, it's not really a problem.
Simply use another root explorer if you want to access system files, period. Why bother.
Ive found the error

you have to extract the su file (arm64) from the latest supersu zip and place at in /system/bin folder
After this, ES FILE EXPLORER PRO is working perfect
There is an other solution as well.
Es file Explorer doesn't work with systemless root. I don't need systemless root so I have edited system partitions to make it work. There is no need to extract su binary. Empty files are enough:
In terminal emulator write:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
touch /sbin/su /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system
I used to use an older version of ES File Explorer. I believe it was v4.0.2.3, it was around the time the company was sold and immediately before the total corruption of the free product. It also lacked support for systemless root.
The latest release of ES File Explorer was v4.1.3 on August 29, 2016. It has support for systemless root. The last release of ES File Explorer PRO was v1.07 on June 14, 2016. I haven't used it, but it sounds like systemless root support is still lacking. In the interim, I recommend using the free version or (far preferably) switching to an alternate manager like MiXplorer until the situation at ES APP Group is resolved.
