ES manager not mounting and reading system files

hello
i rooted and installed ARHD for my galaxy nexus and it came with ES manager.
its a nice free file explorer and it can show system files and such, i granted it super permissions but i still cant delete that one file that lets me boot into CWM from the fastboot menu, so i have to flash CWM using my computer terminal everytime i want to use it.
any other free apps that can do the same thing ?

ES works fine for me... what file are you trying to delete?
And have you mounted system as read/write in ES Settings?

Hi,
I'm also using ES File Explorer with Android 4.0 SDK on emulator. I need to read the event0 file in /dev/input. When I try to open it with ES Note Editor, I get this error: Failed to open the file (java.io.IOException at com.estrongs.android.pop.app.h.run(Unknown source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)). The emulator is rooted, i also tried to enable Root Explorer in ES settings, it failed because this functionality is not supported for my phone? Also the mount file system option in ES settings is disabled.
Can anyone help me? Is the 4.0 platform the problem, should I use an older one? Or is something different the problem?
Thanks.

Okey, used Explorer... You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only!
thats all what I see if I want move
edit:
well, I have moved app by Es Explorer in app system folder.. Now If I want install it, will see installation......app is not installed....
edit2: I have restart my phone, my apk AXT9IME is in system/app folder, whan my phone start, tell me: samsung keyboard can´t work

System change read only. How do it
some idea?

For Stock Rom you need rooted phone.
There are many apps, you can use e.g. "Root Explorer" from Play Store.
I think there is a free version available.
Procedure for Root Explorer:
1. copy wished .apk to Storage on phone.
2. start Root Explorer
3. go to .apk you want to copy in system/app
4. select it and copy
5. go to system/app
6. in upper bar in the middle you can see mount status. (-ro)
7. change it to -rw by clicking on it and select item -rw
8. Superuser app flushes: grant access
9. Paste .apk in system/app
10. Restart your phone and have fun.
Feel free to ask if further problems occurs.

Yes! Is true, not compatible, I have folowed guide from teddytsen, all right, but after reboot after my phone freeze and tell me AxT9IME.apk (samsung keyboard) can´t work and stop!
I tested deodex .apk too and same problem always. And if I use Uninstaller Master and see in System apps, there is way to AxT9IME.apk normal- /system/app/AxT9IME.apk, but there is write "2.3.6"!
I want just same as I writed in my first message in atachement. But I don´t know if exist any compatible apk with my Stock or Custom ROM (I have problem with this in both).
In 4.1.2 JB is poor 3x4 grey keyboard... Don´t want it, maybe better downgrade

How do I change the perms to rw-r-r ? When I try editing the perms of /system/app/ folder using ES Root Explorer (root permission granted) it says operation failed. I cannot even move this APK from sdcard to /system/app/ folder, says permission denied.
What do you suggest?

Root permission is not granted to your file explorer.
Press the menu button while on es file explorer.
Then in tools set root explorer to "on".
You must be asked to grant superuser acces. Grant it
You are done !!!

It is granted mate, see this: http://i.imgur.com/3DEgtRi.png
Root Explorer is turned on as well.

Try this..
1. Copy the apk and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
2. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
3. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read
4. When you click Okay, you should see "rw-r--r--" in the fine print under the apk name.
5. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.

See if other apps are granted super user permission.
If not try changing your superSu to superuser by CM.
If notthing works, you can flash it if you have a custom recovery like CWM.

ES File eplorer root access

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.

Gave ES File explorer root access and now it works fine.

Hi. If no one else has any other ideas, you can try the developer of the app. If this is the app here FolderSync, it shows the developer information as:

Why an Android file manager can't open folders under /Android
File managers aren't supposed to be able to access folders under /Android, but a loophole let them. Android 13 closes that loophole.

Hi, please can you explain step by step what i must do to get access to the Folder. Foldersync needs Access to this Folder. Thx a lot and have a nice day

I haven't tried it, but this is supposed to take care of the problem, if rooted...
GitHub - Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/NoStorageRestrict: Remove the restriction when selecting folders through SAF
Remove the restriction when selecting folders through SAF - GitHub - Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/NoStorageRestrict: Remove the restriction when selecting folders through SAF
github.com

In android 13, data and obb folders are blocked. Tried many file managers with root to copy game data in obb folder but failed. Even the Xposed module "no storage restrict" did not worked. Finally copied data through browsing "/data/media/0/Android/obb". You may try this with root.
I am using Evolution X 7.1 on Redmi Note 11.

There are some file managers that are catching up with this. MiXplorer and FV File Manager have updated to allow access to /Android/data & /obb directories in Android 12+.

Now I have access to Android/Data & Android/Obb but I can't paste any file to these folders. I use ES File Explorer. I don't want to use other file manager like MiXplorer and make the trick of splitting screen with drag & drop so that to write files to the above paths. How to make it in the ES File Explorer or if it exists some magisk or xposed module in which to disable this restriction and to be like in Android 12 in which we didn't have any problem in accessing or writing any file to above paths ?

This is your problem right here. ES File Explorer stopped working properly upon release of Android 11 or 12. I discontinued my modded versions of the app at that time and switched to something that DOES work.
Get another file manager.

This File Manager tends to work in A13, I moved from ES a long time ago when they removed some features, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore .

When I went to Android 13 then I had ES File Explorer which didn't have access to Android/Data. Then I found ES File Explorer v4.4.0.2.1 which has the ability to have access to Android/Data but it hasn't the ability to write (via copy - paste) to Android/Data. This problem doesn't exist only to ES File Explorer but in all File Managers which I have used like File Manager+, File, MiXplorer, Xplore etc... The MiXplorer which can write to Android/Data not be done via copy - paste but via some trick by splitting screen and drug-drop the file which is some intermediate solution. If it is found some solution which can work the copy - paste to Android/Data then this will work to all File Managers which means that the problem isn't that the ES File Explorer is deprecated. May exist some magisk module or lsposed module which deactivate the SAF (Storage Access Framework) permission in which wasn't enabled in Android 12.

ES File Explorer, as I said in my previous post, no longer works with current versions of Android. This is because there is no one working on its code. No one to fix bugs when they appear. No one to ensure root functions continue to work. No one to enable proper access to Android/data.
There are file managers out there that are not ES File Explorer, and while you have tried some, you've not tried them all. I tried Root Explorer just now and had no problems copying files to /Android/data in internal storage; no tricks or workarounds needed. So I stand by my statement. Especially as the file manager I now use doesn't have this issue.
