When using ES File Explorer to move music files from /data to /data/media it says "invalid path." When I tried moving it to a new folder I created under /data, it also failed.

Questions:

1. Is every folder under /data locked away from access thru ES File Explorer?

2. Is my only option to store content directly under /data?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jigneshal:
Root the Access.

hi..

I have ES File Explorer installed and i want to install other font(.ttf). but when try to copy from sdcard and paste in '/system/font' folder, it shows an error : copy failed.

In Setting --> Root Setting, only first two options are enabled 1) Root Explorer and 2) Up to Root. other two 3) Mount File System and 4) Backup System Apps are disabled.

Also, when I try to check 1st one Root Explorer, it shows an error:

When 'SU Request' dialog popup, please select 'always allow'

can any one help me to install font in my android device?

Thanks<script type=
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sasuke512:
i cannot erase any file with any root explorer
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Have you enabled Root Explorer's "Mount R/W"?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DjDiabolik:
Whit latest version now no prompt for root access.... and i can access on / whitout problems and no superSU appears and no notification appears... it's normal??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] macrossmerrell:
Try going into super user and remove it from the approved list. It should prompt the next time you try. If not, clear the app cache and what not (for ES) and try again.

If anyone out there in XDA-land has actually warrantied an unlocked or re-locked phone (in store and/or via the 1-800 number), could you please chime in and post your experience (whether you did store or 800 and what happened).

I realize that it may still be too early to ask this question, because the true kicker is whether someone down the supply chain (in store, then in Verizon, then in HTC) noticed and charged back to your account; as there may not have been enough time for bills to generate after such a chain, but I would love to hear of actual experiences.

If possible, there is no need to report back on Amazon or Best Buy or Guy-On-The-Corner :) They have different policies. This is a Verizon Corporate inquiry. If anyone sent it back to Verizon, did Verizon ultimately charge you for a new Rezound. Thanks

(I realize there is another thread debating whether or not HTC shares with Verizon, and whether Verizon employees are trained to check. This is not that hypothetical inquiry; I am hoping that only people who ACTUALLY did the swap report in).

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
This is interesting to me. I'm stuck wanting the "normal", for lack of better words, root and s-off method from the community. I knew that the employees don't care about root as long as they can set it back to stock. That's what I heard from my friend that worked there. I don't know about the HTC unlock though.
[HTC Rezound] thanksdevguysforyourwork:
I did it with my first rezound. (i baught them at bestbuy for their replacement plan) no questions asked. GIVE ME NEW PHONE, they gave, I was happy.
[HTC Rezound] treadwayj:
not that this helps right now, but i should be able to give you an idea in a few days. bought my rezound on the 9th and unlocked and flashed that night, data started not connecting at all on the 13th. called vzw tech support on the 17th telling them what was going on, no mention of whether it was unlocked from either side, got my warranty replacement today. gonna send back the old phone tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
I had the 'can't charge dead batteries issue' the other night. Went to store and replaced with new battery. No problems.

Sent from my Unlocked/Rooted Rezound running CleanROM 2.0/AmonRa
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Thanks

Well - You did come closest to answering out of all the other responses :) PLEASE let us know if you ever get billed for it (which can take months).
[HTC Rezound] reverendbill:
When I turned my Charge in to Best Buy for the upgrade plan, the dude actually SHOWED OFF to the other folks how modded that thing was, he was in awe. As much flashing I did on that thing, it should have melted. They don't care, or are not paid enough TO care. Never had a problem at the VZW store either, but those guys are usually idiots anyways.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Local best buy for me looked for a superuser app, didn't see it, then exchanged the phone. Had they looked at the bootloader they would have seen the relocked. Bunch of idiots...lol.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Hmmm

While Best Buy is not relevant (they probably have their own policies), that is kind of disturbing. It means they are looking.

Anyone actually do this with *VERIZON*, would love to hear if they ultimately charge you.
[HTC Rezound] SuperFan86:
I know this is not exactly the same, but I exchanged my old Samsung Fascinate for a Droid Charge under warranty through Verizon. I restored the Fascinate but forgot to restore the kernel. It showed some hacked version under the system settings and was really obvious.

I sent it back and never heard anything about it...
[HTC Rezound] treadwayj:
i'm curious, if they do charge wouldn't that mean they should send me the phone that was broken back since in theory i would have purchased the second phone at full price?
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
No you're paying for the replacement. It sucks.
[HTC Rezound] treadwayj:
so basically i could end up paying $850, $650 for the replacement plus the $200* i spent on the one that broke and be stuck under a two year contract?

oi vei

*with new two year contract
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
:)

YES! That is why I was hoping to hear of people's actual responses with Verizon. Not having much luck with the "actual" or "verizon" part of the inquiry, but it is probably still too early to really know. The phone hasn't been unlocked long enough for people to unlock, decide they need to warranty replace, exchange it with VERIZON, and then get another bill cycle or 2 or 3 to see if they were charged.

... but I keep hoping to hear from anyone who actually warrantied an unlocked phone back to a Verizon corporate store or Verizon 800. As time goes by, maybe we will learn :)
[HTC Rezound] treadwayj:
doh! not exactly what i wanted to hear to start my friday morning.

i will keep y'all updated if i do or do not get charged
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Thanks

Please do. I suspect it will take months (has to get from Verizon store to headquarters as part of however often they ship, then Verizon has to batch all their warranty replacements back to HTC {if that's how they do it} however often they ship, then HTC has to notice {if they ever do} and push back {if they ever do}, and the Verizon has take the pushback and bill). I suspect that this can take months, at which point the question will be moot (because it will be as it will be), but it was a pipe dream of mine to see what actually happens, given the amount of guessing going on.

Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I don't see from a legal standpoint how they can do anything...soon as the phone is in their possession they are taking responsibility for it no? Therefore if it is not covered by HTC for some reason, it would be there fault.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Well

There was a ridiculous number of acknowledgment clicks re voided warranty through the unlock process. I would consider this situation exactly like if you brought a phone to Verizon saying it won't work, and the somewhere down the line someone finds the water sensor tripped. The dude behind the counter at Verizon is not going to know at the time, but as the phone winds its way through the warranty replacement chain, someone will figure it out; and they probably will charge you for your replacement.

No one would be screaming 'illegal' in that case; and I believe the cases are identical.

Please note - I hope this is not the case; I have not unlocked my phone (despite desperately wanting to run Nils' ROM) because I dont have $650 to start again. BUT, I can easily see the parallel here.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I don't know how to feel about that either. When an employee of a cellphone provider looks at the available water marks and SAYS your phone is fine and has not received water damage and they are going to replace it for you...anything found afterwords is Verizon's own fault and they will have to deal with. I actually had apple try and pull that once. Had am iPhone where the wifi card was bad, tech at apple looked at their two water markers and said it was fine, that there was a definite issue and shed replace it. Got a call from apple saying the water marker was tripped and I'd have to pay for the replacement. I told them exactly what happened and they left me alone real quick.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
:)

... and there you go. That is the heart of my inquiry.

The initial person (counter at the store) will be irrelevant, and if people turn in Re-Locked phones, will they ultimately get charged by Verizon EXACTLY the way Apple proceeded with you.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I'm very interested in this as well.

I've personally sent back the

Eris, Inc1, and Inc2 rooted, for a refub, without reprecussion.

Eris was actually when I installed the 2.1 leak.. I thought they wouldn't charge for that one personally.

Inc1 I sent back S-OFF, and Inc2 I have sent back S-OFF, Inc2 was used by the XTC for perma S-OFF as well.

Your results may vary.

As far from what I have heard, this could be far from the truth, but they get so many phones a day, really all they check is numbers and maybe water damage? This is why I never go into the store and call the 1-800 number, I've had great luck with the Representatives.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Thanks for this thread. I am waiting to mod my Rez because I am concerned about this issue. I really miss flashing, but i can't afford to replace it and my Inc feels really tiny after using the Rezound! I'll keep an eye on this...
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
+1, or a way to get back to fully locked stock (and two smoking barrels).
[HTC Rezound] nosit1:
This is sort of like the business of work for. If our representatives say something that is wrong, we have to eat the bill for it since was our mistake. If the first line says it's good to go, that should be binding.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
If they are billing you for the replacement device, they should send you back the original or credit your bill the amount paid for it. Not sure how they can decide after the fact to bill you full price for the replacement and keep the original. I would probably switch carriers if they tried that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aharper:
Anybody running into this? I bought a GNex about 2 weeks ago and when on a call I get a high pitch squeal randomly. Loud... like pull the handset from my head loud. The person on the other end doesn't hear it. I called VZW several times and they say they haven't heard of this. My wife got the same phone when I did and it happens to her, too. My twin got the phone about a week later and his is fine. I took the phone in to VZW earlier this week and they mailed me a replacement... it does it also. I changed the ROM to the Open Kang ROM to see if it might be a software thing... still doing it. Very frustrating. It happens when sitting in my office on 4G or 3G, when driving, etc... no real rhyme or reason that I've been able to figure out. The squeal happens every 3-15 minutes without any real pattern. I don't see any notifications or anything that are new after the squeal takes place.

If anybody else is experiencing this can you post? If you fixed please advise! Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwedupsmitty:
Yes, that happened to me when i was running stock at first too. Once i flashed AOKP 4.0.3 and franco's kernel, I haven't had that problem at all. It was REALLY annoying, sporadic, no rhyme or reason. It was also waaayyy louder than i thought the speaker could ever get ironicly enough. Also dont know if the new radios might have helped too, I flashed those separately because they aren't included on the 4.0.3 roms. Hope it helps =\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aharper:
I called Verizon about this again today. I had enough trouble with one device that they sent me a second device. The second device does it too. Very frustrating. The device is also much slower than my old Incredible. I officially hate this device. Should be faster with a solid connection to 4G. I'm going to see what is necessary for VZW to somehow get me out of this device and into anything different. Hell, at this point I'm ok with an iPhone... anything but this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrmacarthur:
So I just came across this thread while doing my normal daily browsing here and find it interesting.

My nephew who has a SGSII here in east coast Canada on Bell txt'ed me earlier to ask if I ever get a "crazy squeal noise from your phone when you're trying to make/receive a call".

It's not all the time. He said it happened about 4 times in the past few months and it's only a land line. He doesn't make a lot of voice calls, mainly the 1 land line (work). When it happens, he hangs up and calls back and it's fine.

It may be completely unrelated to your issue. He's on stock gingerbread.

Anyway, thanks for posting the details and keeping record, i'll follow this for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aharper:
I have now had two calls today with the high pitch noise. At this point it is def not my device as I'm now on an iPhone. Good news is I can go back to the gnex. Bad news is that I'm all but certain that gnex devices are somehow SENDING these tones. With as unhelpful as vzw has been I'm beginning to think I may simply need to call those people less often... So annoying. I'll call vzw in the morning and see what they have to say. Ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PCweber:
Mine does it too. It is my second one as my first stopped working on 3g so they replaced it. The first phone did it too. I just live with it.... I dont talk on phone much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WilliamStern:
I get them as well with the GN, but I was also getting it with my thunderbolt from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aharper:
My brother is upgrading to 4.0.4 today and will drop a new OS on his GNex. Once he does that I have asked him to call me to chat for a little bit. It would be great if that takes care of the problem! Fingers crossed. If that doesn't solve the problem I will call VZW with the additional info. If it does then I'll go back to the GNex and sell this new iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aharper:
Update - called VZW to have my account updated with the latest notes. While on the phone the lady I spoke with acknowledged that there is a KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS PROBLEM with Samsung devices. The devices that she said are affected are the Galaxy Nexus, the Charge and the Stratosphere. Samsung is supposedly working on an update that will address the problem. No ETA for that update.

I sure wish someone had told me about this sometime over the past 3 months of troubleshooting... it would have saved me the money for the iPhone as well as the hassle with vzw. Hopefully someone here will get some good out of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EarthsiegeTA:
How odd. I have a VZW Nexus, but have not encountered this issue. I don't often make calls, but they sound fine when I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aharper:
The problem is on the other end for the person you are talking to... they will hear a high pitch squeal from time to time. Mine would do it as often as every 10-15 seconds or so or could be as little as every half hour (or not at all depending on length of call).

I have talked with my brother a couple times today after he upgraded to 4.0.4 and haven't had the problem at all. I wonder if that update includes some work to fix this. ??
[Kindle Fire General] ScottiePP7:
Hey Everyone -

I got my Kindle two days ago and decided to root last night.

I first upgraded to 6.2.2 and then followed the new directions for rooting.

After some hiccups getting the computer to set up ADB correctly (ran into some conflicts with the drivers installed with my Nexus) I got everything working. I followed all the directions provided and installed superuser.

Here is where my problems begin...

I side loaded root explorer but I can't switch the file system over to R/W. When I load up the app I never see it requesting root permissions or see them granted. The superuser log is 100% empty.

When I load up OTA RootKeeper in order to try and watch prime videos I see the following:

Superuser app installed - checked

Device rooted - checked

Root permission granted - unchecked

Filesystem supports root protection - checked

Protected su copy available - unchecked

It seems to me like my device is somewhere between rooted and not and I can not for the life of me figure out what to do next. I can't install the market, OTA Rootkeeper won't work so I can watch prime videos. I lost functionality and gained nothing.

Any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire General] thr33s1xthr33:
hmm...

thats kinda what happened to mine, i had root explorer but not superuser. I just restored it back to factory settings and re-rooted it, and now it works just fine with no problems. Good luck! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hello all,

I'm a bit confused here as to how to perform a full back. My phone is rooted. I believe I used SuperOneClick or something like that and it did succesfully root the phone and all is fine. However, I see some guides that have many other options on the recovery menu. Mine only shows the option to Wipe Data. ??

I use ROM Toolbox and boot into recovery but don't see all other other options. I have researched a little and it looks like I have to have ClockWorkMod and ROM Manager installed. I installed ROM Manager and now it tells me I need to flash ClockWorkMod. ??

Everything I find on installing this is a guide to ROOT your phone and that's part of the process. I'm confused because my phone is already rooted. I just don't have all this other options and wondering if someone can please help me figure this out?

Thank you much,

--mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SacTilt:
You are rooted, but don't have CWM Recovery loaded. Two different things.

Open ROM Manager and click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and choose the TMo SGSII option (can't remember the exact name). Let it flash and reboot, and then try rebooting into recovery again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Thank you for the quick response. Yes, was a bit confused because "Guides" I read online go through the root process as part of it. OK, I will try this...was a bit hissitant because my Skyrocket was not listed. I will pick that option.

Before I do this, can you please confirm it will not affect anything or change everything I have done on the phone? I take it this will basically allow the option to backup my existing ROM without modifications?

Finally, if I backup using this method, will this contain ALL information? For example, if something happens and I would like to get my phone working the same again, will the restore do this for me without any major issues?

Thanks again,

--mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SacTilt:
This will not reset your phone. Everything will stay intact. Yes, you will be able to make a nandroid backup, which will be a backup of your entire phone as it currently sits, including all apps, settings and data. Yes, you will be able to restore this at a later time to return to the exact state that it was in when you made the backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Thank you very much! I appreciate it! :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Full Disclosure: I go straight down the rabbit hole with the privacy stuff. I rely on good people like you to bring me back to earth.

Why would the Linux kernel of my Barnes & Noble Nook Color be sending packets to an IP address registered to Amazon? This was found through Shark for Root, although the screenshots are of Droidwall.

Most of the IPs below are Google, which I have accepted as the price of doing business with Android. A couple I have not fully investigated. But the Amazon IP sent me into a lather. If anyone has a reasonable explanation and/or see a problem with my process, I am all ears.

I am running the 7.2 Mirage kang, have no Amazon apps, and it has been multiple complete wipes since I visited their site.

The IP in question is the third from the end, IP address 174.129.227.132. Sent 15 packets. The log began right after boot and covers about 15 minutes.

Edit: okay, it appears I do not have a real good handle on adding screenshots. Give me a couple minutes and I will have them up.

Edit 2: should be up
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
That is Amazon web services. It does not mean you have something of Amazon on your device. just that something you have uses their web services. Could be any app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GStarPaw:
Hi all,

I have just registered today after spending a week or so reading and digesting what I can.

I have an 'Orange' branded handset and would like to flash the device with a generic HTC image.

My current build number is 2.50.61.3. and would like to know if it's possible to flash this... RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed.exe

From what I can make out... That RUU is the same version as my current build but is a HTC rom rather than an Orange butchered version. Is that right?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthLondonGunner:
Hi,

I also have an Orange branded handset, but a couple weeks ago rooted using Advanced Ace Hack Kit and since have flashed quite a few ROMS. I would suggest you do the same and flash Android Revolution HD. You get all the stock Sense 3.0 freshness with root privelages and there are a ton of mods to make it even better!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GStarPaw:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit closer to where I want to be.

Although... I do want to keep my phone as stock as possible and want to flash my handset with an untouched HTC version of the 2.3.3 rom.

I read about using Gingerbreak to root and unlock my handset... I liked the sound of using that because it didn't seem to do anything other than make the necessary changes in order to flash the required RUU. Am I right in saying that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geejay008:
tbh, you'd be better off using the Advanced Ace Hack Kit... then getting it to return you to 'un-branded stock' after you let it run its initial course. It will remove ROOT and will revert it to an unbranded HTC rom.

Unbranding your phone manually requires creating a goldcard, which the AAHK does seamlessly as part of its process.

Its a pain to do it manually, and an added pain to flash a stock WWE RUU.

AAHK will do what you need in a couple of button presses...

JUST MAKE SURE U READ THE EFFEN MANUAL!!! ^_~

...in fact, it literally won't run unless you read it... >_< LOL!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webbet:
geehay008 is spot on, I had and orange uk branded DHD and the Advanced ace hack worked smoothly. just read it carefully (as annoying as it sounds it is important to do so to avoid messing it up).

It took me over a year to build up the courage to root and flash my DHD but it really is worth it. some of the roms out there are fantastic.

Just remain calm and take your time.
