I try it with adb shell and it works...
Try this:
1. "adb shell su"
2. "mount -o rw,remount /system"
3. "cd /data/media/0"
4. "chmod 777 navigon"
5. "rm -r navigon"
Hope could help...

I am using DeFrost 9.0b with spare parts that lets you install apps on the sdcard. I am trying to backup all my apps that I downloaded and installed but I can't find them on the sdcard with root explorer.
Does anyone know where on the sdcard the apps are downloaded?
look in the android secure folder on the root of the SD card

Could it be a permission issue. I can't seem to change the permissions for the .android_secure folder. Is there a specific way that I need to change permissions in root explorer?
Did you direct the apps to the correct location with pm SetInstallLocation 2?
As suggested, the apps should be inside encrypted files within the /sdcard/.android_secure folder, whose contents are visible in recovery mode only.
So how can I get to the files then?
Should also work by using a Terminal Emulator.
Go to the Android Market, download an app called "ConnectBot".
Sign in to it, set is to local.
try the following (enter these commands):
su
ls -l /sdcard/.android_secure
I think you could also install Apps2SD using the Terminal Emulator with these commands:
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
Let me know if that helps at all.
Regards,
Mas.
I have already performed the setinstallLocation 2
When I do the ls command nothing comes up.
Not sure then mate
May be worth trying a full wipe again, re-flashing the rom and installing A2SD?

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

what rom are you using?
So I just flashed takju 4.2 using fastboot and before proceeding flashing a recovery I want to check if there's no /data/media/0 folder
Using my pc (MTP) I just see Internal Storage with some folders, but no such thing as /data/media/0 folder nor /data/media
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
Use a shell - adb shell or a terminal emulator app.

Since you used fastboot to flash I'm going to assume you know how to use adb.
adb shell - to get a terminal to your phone.
cd /data/media - to change directory
ls - will list the contents of your sdcard or "0" for profile 0 of the SD card

you need a root file explorer, on your phone not pc.

I use Astro file manager, but you have to go in to the settings and enable hidden files to get root access.
Or you could use es file explorer, which lets you actually rename files and what not.
Both are in the Google Play Store and are free.
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.
Hi Guys,
I'm having some Problem deleting a file in the /sdcard/Android/OBB folder. it seems to be causing me problems and not letting me update one of my apps.
Here are the things i've tried to do.
Clear the cache of my app and the play store
Tried using terminal with SU, just got "Premission denied"
Tried using SU to change the CHMOD to 777, no luck on it actually changing that at all
Tried going to TWRP to uninstall it. however in recovery, when i got to the OBB folder, it was empty for what ever reason even though it is not when i use a file browser when the phone boots up.
Let me know if you have any idea what could cause this problem?
Thanks!
Tried root browser?

Fix it by going in and instead of deleting, try renaming it. That's how I fixed it.

I cannot rename it as well
This is very frustating. The folder contents 4GB game files i don't use anymore
Edit: Apparently, i can rename the folders but not the file inside. So, maybe i can now update or re-download those apps.
But, all i want is just to remove those files, cause they use too much space. Even if i want to re-download those apps, the new apps will create a new obb folder, right? So those big obb files will be duplicated. That's not good

The actual location is /data/media/obb, i can delete those obb files from there [emoji4]

1. Couldn't delete obb.
2. Could only rename.
3. Couldn't locate required obb under /data/media/obb
Managed to LOCATE and DELETE required folder at
/mnt/runtime/default/emulated/obb
Root browser seems necessary.

May your obb file was located in your sd card boot to your twrp then advance/file manager/external_sd/media/obb then open it and click the check button then choose the chmod and just type 777 you should also do that to the existing folder inside obb the reboot your device

I just ran into this issue yesterday and was glad I found this post. I couldn't chown or chmod the directory or file even though I was root. Deleting it from data/media/obb fixed it.
