First time using root explorer and I messed around with the top most directory R/W and R/O mounting option now i don't remember which it was originally set to. Does the R/O and R/W mounting in Root Explorer affect the way android runs and access files? or is it only to set read and write option in Root explorer?
Generally system should be ro

Doesn't affect anything bro your good r/w is just so you can edit or delete sys files

Yup Mine is R/O to . read write is to edit files on your / folder ( the root folder ) .
When in doubt reboot your phone, it'll go back to what it should be (RO)

I originally rooted my 6210 with root.zip posted somewhere on XDA. I have tried the manual method of adding "media_rw" in the platform.xml file using Root Explorer, which I was able to do, but it turned off my internet connection when I rebooted.
I then reflashed with the stock ODIN, still no internet. I then rooted with Gary's 6210_CWMR_2010107.zip file and the Internet started working again and I was able to restore with TB.
However, the /sdcard/extStorages/Sdcard is still read only. I am using the 6210.
Any suggestions on how to get the Micro Sd card writable from the device?
Try this. Then check with Root Explorer to change back and forth permissions.

I tried that. I received R/W permissions to platform.xml, but sdcard/extStorages only has Read only permsissions. I put in the proper wording in platform.xml and it stuck, but no change to extStorages. The only thing that changed was I lost my Internet Connection.....Wifi still worked, just no internet.
Is it necessary to keep platform.xml r/w, or should I change it back to r/o?
Why dont you just download the files and flash it instead of changing the xml by yourself...

Hello Members
I'm kinda new to rooting, i just installed ics 4.0.4 rooted it and now im having problems changing permissions in root explorer. Im trying to install Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip. I'm following the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818. But its not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
just a guess but mayybe becuase it is in the i-777 forum, it could have diff, libs or something. idk if im right or not.
It worked fine when i had gingerbread. Since ive had ics been having issues with root explorer. I got passed moving the file from sd to system/app with help from other threads but when i try to change permissions in root explorer i get the message.

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.

The mod isn't phone specific, it worked when i had gingerbread on the same phone.
Check Superuser SU for any errors. It may have denied permissions. If so, just click the button at the bottom to enable RootExplorer to make SU changes.
Please help me...!!!
when i m trying to chage the permission in root explorer its showing me...'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission changes.'
plz tell me how to solv it...I have LG P698 mobile phone...its hv android 2.3.4
I've got root, SuperSU, and it won't let me change the files at all. I can't rename the files. Just says, "HotspotProvision.akp cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only". I can't find a permissions option. Do I need the pay version of Root Explorer?
What am I missing here?
The filesystem needs mounted as read write

It is pretty easy,you will need to have a rooted a110
then:
1.Using a system browser such as "root browser"(available on Google play store)
2.Navigate to system>media>audio>ui
3.There you will find "Effect_Tick.ogg"
4.Put any other ogg file and rename it to Effect_Tick.ogg.
5.Make sure to copy he original file elsewhere.
6.DONE!
DONT JUST SAY IT,PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED!
I did find the location specified, but I am unable to edit/rename/cut/move the default file..looks like permissions issue. My device is rooted and have access to root file manager..
Please advise.

Please Elaborate, Any error comes when you try to EDIT/REMOVE/MOVE the files?
Whatever he said is right.. use any root file explorer like es file explorer from play store. Go to root explorer give root permission check all like rw. Then move any other touch sound there and overwrite the last one. Then hold that file and go to properties and change permission to rw-r-r-

Yes, i did that..i copied the file EFFECT_TICK.OGG using root explorer (did overwrite the previous one). checked permissions to rw-r-r. It says that the file is copied, but it actually doesnt seem to work..
Can somebody prepare a patch to replace the file ( will share the TW TOUCH.OGG file) via CWM..?

actually you havent mounted the file system in read write mode. Better downloas es root file explorer then in tools go to mount as rw then copy the files.

Did the above steps..I went to System\media\Audio\UI and overwrite the file. Successfull copied. If i play the file, it plays the samsung sound, however when i activate touch tones on my profile, it still plays the default one. No idea how.
Try playing the different tones may be there is another tone used. After playing whichever matches rename the sound you want to use to that name and replace.
