Hi guys, I can´t delete or copy new files in sdcard/download.
For example when I delete a picture in DCIM it works.
I´m rooted and installed ES File Explorer, activated the root explorer and checked the permissions. It says RW right for the download folder.
Any ideas?
Thanks..
ROM? Kernel?

I just unlocked, rooted and restored all files in my nexus. I went into root Explorer to delete unwanted files and am getting a delete failed error every time I try to delete a file. Also my screen shots are no longer saving it says storage is in use. Anybody experience anything like this after rooting?

Are you trying to delete system files? Do you have SU installed? Are you clicking the R/W option. More details please.....
Several people have reported the issue with screen shot, to fix it they've had to rename the pictures folder(Seems like the folder is read only).
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
No system files just old pictures, music files and other misc. It is set as r/w, also I am getting a few apps saying I need storage available that is writable. Something has to be up with the internal storage not allowing me to access or write to it.

Root explorer - How to text edit

PS: i mount r/w from the root explorer every time i try..
Please help.
If you have any directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
root explorer delete failed

i'm having this crazy "delete failed" error every time i try to delete any file in sdcart, external, and root directory (copy-paste, root, permissions works fine )
i tried to delete any remains of root explorer with es file explorer ((which works fine btw so its not a problem of partitions i think), re installed the program again but its the same . Flashed the rom from the beginning with a full wipe but its the same
this error happened first when i updated from blackmart alpha to some rootexplorer v.99. I uninstalled that but it left this error
Any idea what is causing that
I'm very curious and would appreciate it
thanks
I found a way to delete the files you suggest using Root Explorer. Go into /data/media/<navigate to the directory that you want to delete files>.. make sure the folder is mounted as r/w and delete the files you want to delete. This is how I bypassed the delete failed issue in Root Explorer...

Search the data folder in your root directory for some odex files associated to Boat Browser, you can do that in Root Explorer.

Can u fully explain this proses becuz I didnt find any odex files associated to boat browser and if found what to do.
You simply have to open Root Explorer, navigate to data folder in your ROOT directory (all the information about your installed apps is there,your app folders, dalvik and more...),
click menu->Search->type "odex" and wait for the results.

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.
I am running Paranoid Android 4.5 beta. I am trying to copy a sound file to /system/media/audio/notifications but it fails. I have root and I made sure it is mounted as R/W in root explorer but I can't do it. I can copy a file to my 'ringtones' folder. Any thoughts?
I just think its the way KK handles things...try different apps
I tried es file explorer and the terminal emulator and the error is it's a read only file system even though Root explorer says it is read write. Does anyone know how to change it?
