[Q] root explorer won't allow me to delete

I've been working on my phone for about 6 hours now trying to fix whatever the hell is wrong with it, it started when I odened back to stock so i could flash the new miui update (recovery wasn't working, long strory) since than i have factory reset and odened back to stock like 10 times. The reason for this is because my phone at times will not install anything from market, apps would force close, updates wouldn't install, now the problem I have is that root explorer wont allow me to mount r/w so i can remover recovery. The tab works on the first page of root explorer but not when i navigate to system/bin. Ive googled all over the place looking for answers, ive done uninstalls, cleared data etc, nothing seems to works. I'm at my wits end with this thing, getting ready to call att for my second infuse!! any ideas before i call?

Have you uninstalled Root Explorer and then reinstall? Are you sure you are rooted? Did you use GTG unbrick with pit?
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. Seriously I'm not a developer. DlevROM Yo!

I just got off the phone with att and theyre sending me a replacment. They had me pull the battery to check the water mark (never got wet) after i turned it back on my phone displayed a safe mode message at the bottom left corner of my phone, ive never seen that before. Ive since odin'd again to remove root and did another factory reset (atts request) the safe mode message is gone and my phone seems to be installing apps normally now. Ill try everything again just to see if its working.

Lol I think you over clocked it on the minimum ... try the minimum at 800m ... or if anything flash a new rom.. its probably the rom itself

Try another (stable) rom? (no development rom)
Wipe everything.
And yes, probably its underclocked/overclocked too high.

I would like to flash a rom but once I turn it on it keeps force closing everything and I am unable to do anything on the phone, It boots into recovery mode just fine though

Good news, you flash your ROM from recovery. Download the package, boot into recovery. Mount the SD card and push or push using adb push. Flash the zip from CWM.

my friend purchased the phone yesterday and he is on the latest Official version (2.3.6) and the phone keeps rebooting!!!
is this normal?? there must a problem!

Wipe data/factory reset from recovery if it's a used phone.

If he just bought it return it... thats easy
If he rooted it and changed the rom -- put it back to stock or put a new rom on it
I personally found that most of my restarts were due to me trying to pull the stock launcher into an unfamiliar rom. Make sure (if you are using Titanium backup) to only load apps not system *unless you are trying to go back to the same rom*
good luck

First check if he overclocked too much or underclocked too much. Put it to normal.
Alternatively you can just flash another rom. Before flashing remember to wipe everything
Goodluck!

Infuse being laggy

So about two weeks ago Ive noticed my infuse starting to get laggy. Now its laggy all the time. Ive tried reinstalling CM7 and nothing, Ive installed CM9 and it still lags. can anybody help with this?

Did you try any other ROMs and noticed similar behavior?

If you use Google voice it will cause that. Make sure when you first reinstall a rom don't add any apps... run it and see if its laggy. If not install your apps you always use one at a time... if after installing one Ans you notice lag you got your culprit. GV used to do this to my aria

i would backup everyone on both of you sd cards to a computer.
(also back up any apps with titanium and text and such)
read this whole page

then flash stock gingerbread
factory reset your phone
then flash the kernal in the same thread
(format your external sd in your pc, then put it back in your phone and format it with your phone)
remember to back up things on the phone, then move them over to your pc before you start this process, because EVERYTHING on your phone will be wiped
then flash a rom again, from this clean of a state it should fix pretty much anything.

Before ive ran lots of different roms with no problems, ive been running cm7 for a few months now and its just now starting to act like this. I must have installed a bad file or something.

Help Needed. Cannot restore backup in CWM

So here's the deal, I'm trying to restore my stock rooted 2.3.4 GB ROM. Eaglesblood is cool and all, but as of yesterday it started doing a bunch of sketchy stuff. I can't even connect to my t-mobile wireless network anymore. Just doesn't work. I also need wi-fi calling and video recording, so it's time for me to leave ICS (after a week or so lol). So I did a full wipe, formatted the system, cache and data. Went to backup/restore chose restore and chose the backup I made the very first day that I rooted my phone. It starts checking the MD5 sums....after about a minute I get an error saying "MD5 SUM MISMATCH." How do I fix this? I'm trapped in ICS and want back to GB please someone help free me. So after all of that I had no choice but to reflash eaglesblood and now I'm at where I started.

There's an option in cwm under advanced to toggle off md5 check, I think. That may work. But if the md5 is different than before it means something changed in your backup so it may not work.
If you're transferring stuff over usb a lot it gets messed up, I always have issues with that. I use airdroid to transfer files between pc and phone.

You gotta be kidding me......I transferred the back up to my PC to save room on my phone. I put it back into my phone yesterday because I knew I was probably going to use it today. So you're telling me there is no way for me to get back to my 2.3.4 stock rooted ROM because I transferred the file over a USB cable?

Just flash Burom or kewes 2.3.4 rooted stock.
Ive had issues with backups getting corrupted with CWM, not sure why, and has never happened with TWRP.

I've tried searching for kewes' rooted 2.3.4 stock rom but can't find it. Got a link? I need to get off ICS...
I don't get it...this ROM was working GREAT the first week I had it. I was warned about all the errors that ICS/JB roms have on this device but during the first week of application I thought everybody was nuts......now everything screwed more than ever. I've always wanted to try hellfire CM7...might just flash that instead what the hell

Thanks for those man. As an afterthought, idk if this means anything but I realized that my Emmc folder was mounted, which contains the backups in cwm. Cwm under the SD card did not contain a backup file. Could this be an issue? I discovered this using file manager

[Q]Why wont my sd card mount anymore

So today my ext.64 GB SD won't mount anymore.I can see it from twrp and I even restored a backup from it but my tablet won't see it anymore.This is the second time in 2 months that this has happened.I keep buying them from best buy and returning the broke one.I was uninstalling some apps and my tablet froze and rebooted then when it finished I couldn't see ext.card anymore.I've tried rebooting,cold boot and even restored from a backup I had from a week ago and still doesn't mount.I am using a app called foldermount to be able to play games from the ext.SD card.Alls I have on the card is all my game data.
Do you think my SD card went bad already after 2 months? I also wanna know if this is happening to others or just me.Also if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the help.I know there is a file that keeps a log of when you boot so if anyone knows where it is or how to read it I can post it if you want to look at it.Thanks

Mine did something similar but twrp wont read it so i cant reflash a rom? Im using area51 twrp and stock deodexed rom, ran great for couple yrs then just started glerpin out?
