Odd.
In the original firmware I was able to edit build.prop to change my dpi to 120 but now I cannot. It won't save any changes. Also, I tried pasting an .apk into my /system/app folder and it blocked me. Then I tried pushing it with adb and it gave me a read-only error.
I know I am rooted - can run Titanium Backup, etc.
Anyone have any idea?

Did you try another root explorer?
Root explorer can be finicky.
Also try clearing it out of super su and and reallowing it. Or wipe app data.
But from my experience with root explorer, I have always hated it!! Try File Manager HD, It is great and has root explorer and system mountable all the time

Downloaded File Manager HD. Tried replacing the Snotes.apk. No dice. All attempts do do anything with that .apk fail. Seems pretty well locked down.
Same thing with build.prop. No changes will save.

I was wondering if you have resolved this issue because im having the same problem now. Do you recall doing anything that may have caused this issue? Everything for me started going heywire once i installed init.d support just a second ago. I Can r/w and r/o in certain parts of the system but i cant paste anything anywhere. I also noticed increase cpu load afterwards. Might i add this is the second time i have had these issues after installing init.d support script. The way i solved this the first time was i had to odin stock firmware and this solved everything. Id like to refrain from doing this again though because ill loose all my stuffs and have to set everything up again.

How did you achieve root? In other threads, problems with write access to /system are reported when a rooted firmware was flashed. Only the method with CWM (install CWM, flash SuperSU) did work.

Oh the first time i rooted with the CWM method. But the second time, i did odin a rooted firmware Now that i think about it, the first time i was able to write to /system but now i can't after a rooted firmware flash. So the init.d script wasnt the problem. I just made an assumption because before, i havent touched anything in /system but when i installed init.d script it was actally the first time i tried to edit /system after the rooted firmware. So yes looks like im going to have to odin a stock non-rooted firmware. Thanks man! Makes alot of since now.
edit: couldn't i just try the cwm method and see it it overwrites, cause the only UEALGB firmware i can find is prerooted. I don't want to switch to UEALH2.

Try Root Explorer(or ES File Explorer) & enable R/W for system files
Check your SuperSU/Superuser app.
See if your access is granted & not denied.
If SuperSU/Superuser asking for update, update it (usually binary update)
If your SuperSU/Superuser is gone, re-install it from Play Store & run it for the first time to update binary.
Retry modifying your system file(s)

Just bought a new TF. The serial is BCO..... Rooted via nachoroot. Superuser installed from market. Everything that requires root works except gnufabio's recovery installer app. Everytime I try to run the app, it keeps saying "sorry you are not rooted!"
Can't seem to find a cwm version that can be flashed via the stock recovery. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Did you install ota rootkeeper, backup root, and tested out before trying to install the recovery installer app? That's what I did. To solve, you need to redo the rooting procedure.

It seems easy right, what if my TF101 does not allow me to copy and past to the system files, even after downloading the proper Root Explorer files. Why is that why can't I just copy and paste, is there a way I can control this via PC?
The streaming part of TWC's app was just released. And of course, being the jerks that they are, it doesn't work on rooted devices.
Any workaround?
Don't tell me to clear data. It doesn't work.
Is there any way to run the app without root permission or to fool the app?

I hate TWC. Everything they do I hate. The app is a great idea, they just shouldnt block users for taking control of their device. Just wait until a fix comes out, like FTW for ios.

Jclav,
How did you rename the Superuser.apk? I have tried to figure it out, but I can't. I am trying to get TWC TV to work on my Motorola Triumph that is rooted and I can't figure it out. Can you help me please?
Using root explorer go to the folder where the app is. Click the button at top that says Mount RW. It will then say Mount RO. Then long press the file. Click rename and name it. Then exit root explorer.
Oh how I hope this works on my Kindle Fire. I installed CM9 especially for the TWC live TV but was very disappointed when I couldn't use it.
I will try this tonight. Thanks

This is correct. I'll have to find it when I get to work, but there is a thread around here that provides a set of deodexed apks. All you need to do is get the FM radio apk from that zip file, put it in /system/app, and change permissions to rw-r--r--. Worked for me.
--------------------------EDIT----------------------------
Apk can be found in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25636866&postcount=2
You don't need the Fm Radio Service apk, it's already on the phone.
(Rooted Stock 1.85)
You need root and you need to be deodexed. Full thread here:

You don't actually need to be deodexed if you just place the FM apk in system/app.

Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for all help, but for some reason whenever I do root it doesnt work and it says permission denied and waiting for phone to reboot.
Need more details. What firmware version, and what root method?
I have the 1.85.502.3 att version, with root method one click root.
Whenever i try it and do the reboot thing if there is an error it always says waiting for phone to reboot and permission denied.
How many times have you tried? I know it sometimes takes several tries, and you have to set the clock on the phone a day or 2 ahead each time you try.
I haven't used the 1.85 root method myself (rooted back on 1.73). So you'll likely get more experienced help asking on the thread for that root method.
be sure usb debugging is on otherwise i'm pretty sure that the commands sent won't work on the phone, such as reboot, etc
Can you use this in plane mode?
Mine will not work unless I have data + wifi enabled.
nvm I just got it to work, I did it manually and got it rooted.
Thanks for help guys.

Depends on what app you are using to copy the files. On Root Explorer, there should be a button at to of the screen to mount the directory as R/W. ES File Explorer, I think you have to hit menu, than "mount as root" or something like that. Then copy the FM radio files, and long press on each file to change permissions.
I did all of that but it still doesn't work.
How do you get to mount as root. I transferred files over but it still doesn't work.

To mount the file system in ES go to settings and at the bottom you will need to click on root explorer then mount accept that then click on the option below it "Mount File System"
Side note: I did all the requested things and am still unable to install the HTC FM widget from the earlier posting. just says install failed or cannot install, something like that. But I am using CleanRom, maybe its not meant for that?? Not sure I even need the FM widget but I don't think CleanRom comes with a widget, just the icon.

Root Explorer. Have to set it to R/W before doing the edit. It may be that the system is mounted as read only in the app you're using. You may have to change it in the settings of the app you're using. In Root Explorer, there's a small button. Upper right side of the screen while viewing the folders. If the system is mounted R/O, it'll say "mount R/W". Press on it and then do the edit.
You do have to be rooted for it to work though.

Are you rooted? If so, check your superuser app to see if Root Explorer has root permissions. Also, if it's still set to 5 when you reboot, is the backup file there or not? If not, it sounds like a root problem of some sort to me.

I can't get it to work either. Change stuck even after reboot ?
Yes. But, you need to click on that button that says mount r/w before you do the edit. If you do that and it still doesn't work, something isn't right with your root.
Are you permanently rooted or are you using weak sauce for root? If the latter, the changes won't stick if you do a normal reboot. Rebooting is necessary for the setting to take effect. With weak sauce, you have to do a hot reboot for things to stick. Things will only stick if you do a hot reboot. A normal reboot will result in your change or changes reverting back to the original meaning you'll have to do it over again. It'll work as long as you only hot reboot. If you're using weak sauce for root, you really should consider getting permanently rooted.
This worked, thanks!
Ahhhh ok makes sense. Yea I'm only weak sauce rooted so I'll get it permanently rooted then

Hi all,
I have rooted my nexus 5 for some time already and have learned about some really basic understandings regarding ROMs and android. I do realize the usefulness of nandroid backup so i made one with the help of ROM manager and its clockwork recovery. A while ago i flashed cyanogenmod and It all worked out quite well but I eventually decided to have my stock android kit kat back by restoring the nandroid backup. Everything worked out and i was happy.
I copied the backup files from the "secure location" /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup and to the sd card using es file explorer and eventually to my computer using the USB cable. Today i learned about xposed framework and i thought i would give it a try so i intended to make a nandroid backup again using the same procedure with rom manager (since i did make a few tiny changes to my phone since the last backup).
Here's the problem:
The rom manager app failed to backup or do anything as nothing happened after i pressed the "Backup Current ROM" button and clicked ok to the backup name popout.Even the recovery setup and reboot into recovery choices at the top of the app don't do anything after i press them. And i was stupid enough to delete the first backup files from my phone so currently i only have the backup on my computer. I tried to copy my first backup files back into the /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup folder but the path is gone as the /mnt/shell/ folder is empty.
I am desperate for some answers and support regarding this issue. I realize this might not be a nexus 5 problem so i am willing to move this thread to anywhere that's appropriate.
Don't use ROM manager. I've seen a lot of people bootlooping their phones after using it. Flash Philz Touch recovery and then make a nandroid backup from the recovery. See whether /mnt/shell/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backup/ has your files or not?

If rom manager takes a backup using cwm recovery, then YES. You can restore it via Philz Touch. Copy the backup folder and put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/. This is where all my Philz Touch backups are stored. If philz is using /data/media on your phone then clockworkmod folder will be present over there. You can toggle these paths in Philz Touch.
Philz will detect /data/media/0 as sdcard so need move /data/media/clockworkmod to /data/media/0/clockworkmod

Wait when i just noticed i can't turn on root explorer. It displays a really quick message "sorry, test failed. this feature cannot run on your device." Why is that?

Any idea how to enable root explorer on nexus 5? Apparently the feature is not supported on my device?

In what application?
It sounds like you haven't got root.

In es explorer... Maybe that's possible I have been experiencing some bizarre problems where root access are requested again and again even though I permitted already. What's the easiest way to check I am rooted or not??

You just asked a question whilst quoting the answer to the question you just asked! Try to be more observant. This is the key to being a rooted user.
