Rename file with root explorer and it disappears. WHY? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I used root explorer to rename a file and it disappeared. Any reason as to why? I renamed it with .bak on the end

It disappeared from its original file location? I just renamed a pic and its still on the proper file location however I can't view it via any apps which is expected. The ".bak" extension just means "backup" so it's hidden from view/use.

It just disappeared. It was in the system/bin folder. It was a file that had to be renamed when using ktoonz kernal along with jelly bean and touchwiz

I tried to pull it for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it to my phone. What should I do
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Make sure you are connected to the computer properly and that the phone is in mass storage mode. Then drag and drop to your sd card. From there, use root explorer to move the apk to your system/app folder. Reboot and it should work

That's what I did and for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it over. I've transferred so many other files that way with no problem I just don't understand why it wont let me transfer this file

Use Root Explorer. Name the old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.bak just in case somemthing goes wrong(Pay attention to permissions). Paste the NEW SystemUI.apk into the System/App folder, set permissions and reboot.

Sure. Use your root file browser to get to the /system directory. Replace the system.ui file that is there with Bigfau's modded version.
Fyi: Next time just post inside the q&a thread that is already open so that the forum is more organized.
Whoops! I'm too slow
A lot of thanks. I'm newbies, noob to android. Thanks.

The status bar should disappear when you rename it. That is normal. After you paste the modded version in the /system directory, the status bar isn't going to come back until you reboot.
If you rebooted already, I would double check that the file is there.
I do it,happy too. Now I'm testing it.
As a further problem,the clock can not I select update,always GMT,the GMT +7 time I need, how to fix this?

In the past i have been able to recover them without touching anything, but this time it's giving me hell. I think i need to move the files, but not sure where, and of course the dev won't respond.

I simply used root browser to move all the files from my saved gallery lock folder, into the new gallery lock folder that was hiding in sdcard-data- gallerylock. Then i opened the app again and did the recovery again.

Sound Instructions
1. Download PowerOn.wav
2. On Root Explorer go to /system/etc and find PowerOn.wav and you can either delete it or add (.bak) after file name. If you dont have it on your phone it should be fine and still work.
3. Past the PowerOn.wav file you downloaded in /system/etc
4. Then reboot and there you go! If you still have some questions or need help here is a link-http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1367645
So get a .wav file or convert an audio file to .wav and rename PowerOn.wav, then put it in /system/etc
Can't confirm this method works and is safe so do it at your own risk (although I don't see how it could cause any serious problems)

Q

Friends I have the samsung galaxy tab 2.which is not rooted.I tryed to copy the system folder from system root to sdcard but the ESexplorer said "illegal operation".. is there any way to take the system folder.I don't want to root that...help me pls
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
My I497 tablet is not rooted either. I have Root Exploer installed and it did just what you wanted. Try a different file explorer/manager. Possibly the system folder is just too big for copy and paste. Try smaller sections.

Why are you trying to backup the whole system folder? Try smaller folders inside /system.
