Custom Recovery File Manager!!!!

Just found this cool recovery file manager so thought should share.Find the original post here.
Aroma file manager lets you manage the file system(copy, cut, paste, delete, make new folder, etc) from both sdcard as well as the root of the device just like any other file manager out there but hold on here's the catch you can do all that from the RECOVERY(well custom recovery to be exact).
The best part is it has a nice touchscreen interface.You can touch and hold on the file to set permissions too.It even has includes a terminal emulator.And you can set themes in it and fonts etc etc.
So all in all a great option to have in case you mess up.No more flashing the whole ROM again just because you messed up with a few apks or files and ended up bootlooping.
So to get started the installation is pretty simple:
1.Copy the zip into your sdcard.
2.Reboot your device into recovery mode.
3.Choose install from sdcard.
4.Select the AROMA Filemanager ZIP.
And there you go the file manager will start up!!!
Edit: To access the system and other folders which are not showing you'll have to mount them first.it's just a one time process actually.
Go to settings and select auto mount all devices at start.apply and reflash the zip you'll get access to everything.!!!

This is to have the custom recovery without installing bootstrappers like bootmenu manager or atrix 2 bootstrapper?

No bro..
This can be flashed only on custom recovery like bootmenu or bootstrapper.the thing is if you are doing some modding or playing around with your system and end up bootlooping(while having the custom recovery)you can correct your wrong doing by this.or even if you wanna copy something to from sdcard while in boot loop or softbrick this will come in handy.

Thanks for testing this out! Wasn't sure if it worked on the A2.. could come in handy.

[Q] Cannot delete folder in data/data

I downloaded Quadrant on my HTC One to Benchmark it and then I uninstalled it however when I rebooted my phone I got a UID inconsistency error and I discovered it was this app so I had to manually delete the .apk to resolve it because for some reason it was still lingering anyway the folder for it is still in my Data/Data directory and no matter what I try I'm unable to delete it. I've used Root Explorer and Ftp'd in but no luck yet. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Just make sure you have tap on "Mount as R/W" in Root Explorer

it is mounted a R/W

I just had exactly the same **** happen to me with quadrant. I resolved the uid issues by format cache partition and deleted the apk but that folder in data is not deleteable.
Can't install quadrant either as it says error 24. Well I have no idea what's wrong and also the free space for the folder in data matches the stats for the asec data folder. Weird !

I would put my trust in the original linux/unix command line utilities. I can recommend "Terminal IDE" as a package of a terminal emulator and a base system. Just start it, install the "system", then go to the command line. With
Code:
su
you should get root rights. And with
Code:
rm -r /path/to/whatever
you should either be able to delete it or get a more or less meaningful error message.

@ccxxx i followed your method but remained unable to delete the facebook folder...

Well, I/o error is bad. It usually means that the memory is physically broken but I think it can also be caused when the filesystem is corrupted.

I renamed the folder instead of deleting it and everything worked perfectly... does this still mean the memory is corrupted?

Where the F Does CWM Backups go?

In clockworkmod there is a tiny file that isnt the backup, but the backup is somewhere because i can use it in cwm....... ??????????? So frustrating

This.
I'd like to backup the CWM backups into my hard drive, is there any chance? Also the backups are dated on 1970 on mine, is that a thing?

Can they send the safety copy?, I need It urgently, my telephone has remained unusable and the last option is to restore a backup with the original rom.
Please

It's in the /data/media/clockworkmode/backups/

What's the explorer app required to get into these if I may ask? Sliding Explorer is mine but it doesn't seem to be able to navigate these folders. Root Explorer or ES File could do it?

You can use root Explorer to navigate it.. But you can't copy it.. You should use adb to copy it to your pc..

Yes, you can copy it with es file explorer and if you're rooted...

Just use an OTG to do an external backup.

Enable root explorer feature in ES Explorer. Then you ll see the file in it. Then simply copy it to another directory.

unable to flash anything in TWRP, SD card wont mount or show contents

Hi!
I picked up a Mate 8 from a local service provider and would love to flash a new ROM to get rid of the ugly stock one, but I am stuck when trying to flash anything from TWRP.
The phone boots fine, I unlocked the bootloader, and has TWRP Mate 8 version...I can't locate any files from the internal storage though. I understand this is due to the system being encrypted. I cant seem to get around that though. I tried the format data option, hit yes, then go back but that obviously has deleted what I had stored (the SU zip). I can't mount the SD either afterwards, to load it in recovery.
I tried using the Italian knife tool, and used the Root option, and option 3, but get an error: error: cannot load '.\rec\boot.img
I am not a pro on this so it might be something farely stupid. I would love if anyone could help me with this...

--------------------------------
Edit:
I was able to solve myself. It was a rookie mistake. Perhaps the internal storage is encrypted, however I was able to flash SU using TWRP by inserting an external SD, which I had not done before. I was able to view contents from that location and did not need to use the Italian knife tool.

Are you using SuperSU ??
To delete system apps, download system app uninstaller from play store and grand it superuser permission.

Need To Find A Specific Command

I can't for the life of me mount my system as r/w, but I remember a reboot command that worked like a charm.
It was something along the lines of reboot wvscmmd. If anyone can reply with the command, it'd be much appreciated!

Are you rooted?

I am.

Then just install a root explorer app and enable R/W where you need it
Root Explorer or ES File Explorer etc

I have done. ES File Explorer reports /system as busy, and Root Explorer does nothing.

Do other root apps work? Certain you are rooted?
Root Explorer has an R/W button at the top of the directory window you need to press to enable write support
ES File Explorer has a toggle switch in the left panel tools section to enable root access

Other root apps do indeed work, I have Lucky Patcher, Magisk, and Xposed installed.
The R/W button on Root Explorer does not show, and I can toggle root explorer in ES File Explorer, and mounting /system as R/W through it says it is in use.

There isn't a button to mount as R/W.

Then something has gone wrong somewhere, I'm not even rooted and the button is there
Have you disabled apps / bloatware?
Maybe you need to start fresh, either unfreeze everything, or reset

Every time I flash a ROM, I back up what I need, then wipe everything. So it's a clean install. There's no bloatware on the device, and the issue carries over multiple flashes.
I do know it can be fixed by the reboot code I mentioned, but I can't remember it.
