I have a broken build.prop for my S6: can someone be so generous to send me this file from G920FXXU1AOE3_G920FITV1AODQ_G920FXXU1AOE3_HOME ? I'm not able to extract following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294909 (ext2explore wasn't able to open the system.img)
Use a root enabled file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to open the rom.zip you are running. Go to /system and extract build.prop, then go to the folder where the file was extracted to (I use Root Explorer which extracts to /sdcard0/storage/SpeedSoftware/Extracted). Copy the extracted build.prop to your phone's /system and overwrite the existing build.prop. Make sure the permissions are rw-r--r-- and reboot.
Protip: After flashing a new rom, backup the original build.prop before making any changes or flashing any mods. Save it as "build.prop.original". That way, you will always have a backup copy of the original file. Some file explorers (like Root Explorer) will automatically backup files when you edit them, but they append ".bak" to the existing file. So if you edit build.prop more than once, your original "build.prop.bak" is overwritten, and the backup is no longer the original file. However, if you save the original as "build.prop.original", it never gets overwritten.
It works! Thank you!

WARNING : exuse my bad english
I recently Wiped my Phone completely and decided to Re-Flash Viper 1.2.1.
I noticed a problem prior to re-installing but thought nothing of if since it wasn't crucial at the time.
In Root explorer, I am able to delete [i normally delete boot animations] system files but not add where I need to add. Example, I wanted to add a ringtone to my system/media/ringtones folder. I normally [for the last six years] could just copy and paste such files using a root file manager.
However, when I any these files to for example /system/customize/resource/ it doesnt add it. BUT IT DOES rename the file and save it under a dif folder.
Example. Tried copying-copy to-moving to "androidtwirp.mp3" from sdcard to /system/media/notifications and a message pops up saying"notificationsandroidtwirp.mp3 successfully copied-moved to" and it saves notificationsandroidtwirp.mp3 to /system/media/ and it stays there. retrying from that location only results in "notificationsnotificationsandroidtwirp.mp3".
So not only does it rename the file but it saves it in the wrong location. I am at a loss for word. I tried the basics to tryand fix this but i cant seem to hit it on the head.
Thanks!
Edit: Not updating Super SU app, file explorer seems to have worked. Will attempt to duplicate problem to see what actually caused.it.
FOUND IT!
Updating my ES File explorer broke my system writing ability. DO NOT UPDATE is because when you do...
Any file you move, copy/paste to the system will not work properly.
This first happened when I tried to copy and paste a boot animation after I updated ES root explorer. It would rename whatever file i was trying to paste/move/copy over and save it under a sub folder.
example.
copying a ringtone [i.e. androidtwirp.mp3] from SDCard to System folder, the path is /system/media/audio/ringtones/ and it would rename it "ringtonesandroidtwirp.mp3" and save it under /system/media/audio/.
So basically not only was it renamed [which i didnt want it to be] but it would save it to the folder before the actual folder i needed it to be in, plus it would corrupt the file deeming it useless.
moving "ringtonesandroidtwirp.mp3" into the correct folder would only result in "ringtonesringtonesandroidtwirp.mp3"
this happened across the board with all files being moved around
The ES File Explorer version 1.2.1 comes with works flawlessly so don't update it.
I uninstalled ES [also any folders in SDcard related to it] and downloaded JRummy's root explorer and everything is back to normal except i have to reboot the phone to see files [like ringtones and notifications] that i added to the system.
I think it has something to do with our devices having an unlocked bootloaader, but still S-ON. There's S-OFF in the Dev section now if you really need to write to the system folder a lot.
I came from the Vibrant so I know what you're going through
Yeah, im on a low hboot so s-off might not be in my plans since I can practically flash what I want but it was ES file explorer, when I updated the apk the root permissions broke when writting to the system. I emailed the dev and they said they'd have it fixed on the next update.

I had the same issue, i used this >> https://app.box.com/s/z0a12rt18gm3dtfqqndl
I got it from stock odexed 4.4.2 rom here on xda and please check the sha1sum of the file, it should be 1A008709F0945E8EACA2166D143622EB8D94C3D0
Otherwise the updater script wont install the update, also use es file explorer or any root explorer to replace the file and set permissions to chmod 755 and shell access, more info here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48333174#post48333174

Just use es file Explorer, cut the file in ur system/bin/debuggerd and take its backup on sdcard, then paste the given file, change the permissions to the one's like given in the second post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48353992#post48353992
You should be having root access in es file Explorer with partition mounted as r/w

Hi
I have a NExus 10 root android 5.1.1
last v. of Es File Explorer
I can access \system\etc and modify permissions
but when i try to copy from outside folder or edit inside gps.conf
result is empty file !?
I guess is only inside system folder that doesn't work cause I usually copy/move files
Is it weird or something simple I don't know?
I have rooted my phone and granted root access to root explorer, but i still can't paste anything into system/media folder and I can't rename the bootanimation.zip file. It says rename failed and then "root explorer was granted superuser rights" pops up on my screen. Am I doing something wrong?
You must to make changes inside twrp
Our phones are a bit different there.
system, or rather system_root, is read only. Think of it like a CD-ROM. You can only read from it, not write to it.
You have to use a kitchen of some sort, extract system.img from the ROM you are running, and edit the ROM from there. Once you have, you have to create the system.img from your files again. Then flash that system.img on your phone.
And then you are good to go!
It's that simple!
