Hi i just bought this app and wish to use this only app for file manager. How do i find out the size of a folder using this app? Tried to press and hold on a folder > properties > but it only shows me the permissions settings. :(
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
If you are browsing the folder, it should show you how much free space and used space there is near the top of the screen, under the folder name.
[Droid Incredible General] Davy49:
Hi,

I'm just replying to this message as it pertains t the application (Root Explorer ),

NOT the device. Using the application..one user stated this:

" When you long press files and folders for the sub menu, you can

Extract all

Delete

Rename

Copy

Move

Change Permissions

Properties

Add Bookmark

Send

View as text

Open in text editor

Zip a file

Create Tar

Change owner "

I'm using the latest version ( 2.16 ) and I don't see all of the options that are listed here, is there something wrong ?

Thanks,

David :confused:
[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
It all depends on the kind of file you long press on. Like, in order to get extract all to show up, its gotta be a zip file you selected.

Hi SteveG12543,

So when I'm wanting to edit a text file ( build properties in the system folder )

shouldn't I have the 'open in text editor' option available ?

Thanks,

David :)
[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
Yep, you should have it. I just had to scroll down to get to the option.

[Droid Incredible General] Davy49:
Dear SteveG12543,

Yes..just like you said, when I scrolled down on the list of options while I was viewing the build.prop file in the system folder, the open in text editor option was there. I clicked on it, and then the file opened up in the text editor like it was designed to. I guess I was to timid to make any changes though. All I wanted to change was two lines, 1. ro.product.name & 2. ro.product.device .

Right now, both #1 & #2 read olympus , I was going to change #1 to read

viewsonic & #2 gtablet . Of course if I did so..I might not be able to get ANY apps. from the android marketplace.

Thanks,

David
[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
Ahhh, hmmmm. I've never really messed with the build.prop besides blocking the Froyo upgrade way back when lol. I didn't know that effects the market and such :o interesting!

Maybe I am just not able to find it, but is Root Explorer missing a MD5 checksum function? Right now I have to use Astro to get the MD5 checksums. For some reason with Astro I have to kill and restart it before checking a new MD5 checksum. It is like the previous value gets stuck in the properties screen and you have to kill and restart to check a new one. Would be great if Root Explorer had this feature so I could get rid of Astro...

Just rooted my phone and downloaded SetCPU.

Anyone had any problems with this? The app is only able to view the "read" part of the CPU and not the "write" so I don't think its actually doing anything. Its got the warning that some features wont work. Anyway to make it work?

Cheers.

Not that I know of,

I've rooted with unrevoked and i've downloaded the app.

Only thing i'm looking to do is overclock my phone and that was how I thought I would be able to go about doing it.

Any tips?
[Wildfire General] JonesL:
Sounds like you didnt give it access when it asked for it when it has that count down timer i think you press allow and it should then be fine but when i didnt press allow it gave the same error your complaining about
[Wildfire General] Chris_ZS:
When I installed the app I allowed it access to my phone.

reinstalled and allowed and still having the same problem :S

its only the write: min frequency and max frequency

that the app doesn't have access to, I can't use the sliders to change the performance.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
You can't overclock if you didn't flash the overclock kernel...
[Wildfire General] Chris_ZS:
how do you do flash the overclock kernal?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Go to the rom development sub forum and flash jacobs kernel.
[Wildfire General] Chris_ZS:
Yeah, I've looked at that, but theres no guide anywhere to let me know how to flash it. Is it a simple thing like rooting? Or is it a little more in depth?

Anyone know of a guide?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Download it, reboot into recovery and flash it... If you can't understand how to flash, i don't know why you should be doing this. There are guides all over this subforum and the rom development forum.

Has anyone had this before? I can call with other phonebook apps like phonebook 2.0 and youru so i'm sure the problem is with the phonebook itself..

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
This may have been posted before but this just SERIOUSLY saved my ass this morning.

Only use this method if you phone will not:

Boot into your:

Recovery

ROM

Anything else besides HBOOT (hold vol. down and turn on phone)

Get an RUU from somewhere and pull the rom.zip file

Rename it to HERCIMG.zip

Put on ROOT of sdcard

Reboot to hboot as per instructions above

If you renamed it right it will say:

SD Checking...

Loading.....[HERCDiag.zip]

No image!

etc.etc.etc

then

Loading...[HERCIMG.zip]

You will see a progress bar on the upper right of the screen.

It will ask you if you want to upgrade. Press Action (trackball btn) for yes.

***YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING! Root/files/etc. just like if you flashed it with the RUU setup file***

After it finishes you now have a working hero again :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Very helpful post. Saved me once.

Also, a tad off topic, but if you are S-OFF, you can flash the recovery only (clockworkmod tested). This might save some time vs a total reflash.

google clockwork recovery, find the 2.5.0.1 img file for the heroc. Get an android-info.txt from an exisiting HERCIMG.zip (either find one on xda in this forum, or follow OP instructions and get it from ROM.zip) and zip it along with the clockwork recovery .img file. Rename it to HERCIMG.zip and flash from hboot.

You can also create custom RUU with a clockwork recovery by replacing the stock recovery img in an HERCIMG.zip with the clockwork recovery .img, and then flashing. You will get sprint stock but with clockwork recovery instead of the stock recovery.

Just a few tips I've learned. Remember mine requires S-OFF, which is opposite of what the OP is working with.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well this is very helpful.

BUT! Here is the issue I am now having...

My phone wont boot into android... OR recovery (stock).

I know the recovery is stock since I just flashed the RUU from the carrier.. So I am thinking maybe a corrupt partition?

Major worry I am having is I did flash the engineering spl however it is still in s-on mode (dunno why) so I cant even boot into a custom recovery to flash back the old spl. Is it possible to flash the spl with the method you mentioned? If so I will do that and then if it still doesn't boot (I know it wont btw) I will take it in store.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I tried the eng-spl also to get fastboot working but that didn't seem to work either. Not sure why. I used the other S-OFF method flashed via clockwork.

This wouldn't be an issue if we could use fastboot on our phones (I always get access denied). I think the eng-spl was supposed to enable the use of fastboot.

If you think the eng-spl worked, try using fastboot to wipe your partitions. I think there was talk about this in the firerat mod thread. I don't recall the exact commands, but it's run like adb is from the command line. I think fastboot system -w erase but I could be wrong... probably best to check the firerat mod thread.

btw about your question, I am not sure if you can flash anything else via hboot other than what I tried. At least I think this is what you were asking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
What I was wondering is if I could flash either an original HBOOT, or to put it back to S-On by the method you described.

OR....

Does the original hboot have the option for fastboot? If so then I will just bring the phone in for service
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Well, if you are S-ON right now, you can't flash anything that isn't signed with HTC's private key I believe.

You should be able to get to fastboot via hboot menu... just boot into hboot (power off, vol dwn + power on) and see if there is an option to get to fastboot (I think it's home key? I forget). Thing is... we can't do anything using fastboot (as end users) because it's turned off. The eng-spl was/is supposed to turn that on as well as S-OFF if I understand correctly.

Since you tried the eng-spl, have you tried hooking up to USB, booting into HBOOT and then jumping to fastboot and seeing if you can do any fastboot commands?

Sadly, the only two ways I know to flash something is either via a recovery like clockwork, or via S-OFF via HBOOT. Fastboot is possible, but like I said before it seems to have been turned off..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunterd13:
fastboot works after you flash the eng-spl. you'll have to look for the commands to use it though. ive used it once after flashing the eng-spl just to verify it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well, I did flash the ENG-SPL like I said and I did try to use fastboot from HBOOT, however nothing ever worked except for the fact that I could see that fastboot detected it when using "fastboot devices".. fastboot reboot wouldn't even work though. It would say that it worked but it actually did not.

No biggie though, as like I said I flashed the RUU to wipe it. It still wouldnt boot but that's ok cause I got a replacement today :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
Awesome post, thanks. I'm tagging this should the unfortunate event happen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Good info thanks. I think I might have been S-OFF via unrevoked already so maybe that is why the eng-spl didn't work for me (as far as being able to use fastboot, I still got access denied errors).

OP: glad you got it fixed the easy way :cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
I've been getting the "Blank External SD card. SD card blank or has unsupported file system." message every time I restart my phone since the day I purchased it. The only way for me to get the message to go away is by letting my phone format the external SD card, but even after doing this I am unable to create any folders on my external. It gives me the "creation failed" error message. My current SD card is a 4gig HC SD card. I used it in my HTC Tilt2 before I bought my captivate and never had an issue. (I actually ended up losing everything I had on it when I put it in my captivate because of this issue) Does anyone know how I can fix this so that my external sd card will actually work and stop requiring me to format it?

I had tried searching the forum for anything on this but only found items relating to 3rd party roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Have you ever formatted it on your PC? i know that it can cause problems if you choose the incorrect format type.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
No, I've only ever had it in my tilt 2 or my captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Have you tried a different SD card? Sounds like you have a faulty one. There are no settings in the Captivate that require a reformat for anything. I know this sucks, but I can't think of anything else.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
Unfortunately I don't have another card to try though I haven't tried it again in my tilt 2..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Try it again in your Tilt. I am willing to bet it will not work. If true, stick it in your PC, format with the NTFS file system and use it as a ready boost tool. That way it is not a complete waste.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maditalian:
Ready boost with a micro SD is not advisable. It will be the same as nothing..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Would you rather have a wasted 4 gig SD or use the 4 gig towards ready boost? I never said it was going to do much, but to some people a little is a lot.

Hi!

I have not messed with any ROM upgrades or anything since I got my phone half a year ago and it has worked fine all the way. But after restarting it today, it suddenly hangs in the "htc quietly brilliant" screen! All I can find on net about such problems start with: "After I flashed with ROM XXX...".

I know I could try a ROM flash, of course, but then I would loose all settings and stuff on the phone. And still be left with the feeling that it could pass out again at any time.

Is there any hope to get it resurrected? Has anyone else experienced this without having messed with ROM?

I have tried:

- checking the battery pins, they seem OK.

- loaded until the lamp was green.

- starting without the sim.

- soft reset.

Thanks for any hints!

[Click General] timlambo:
Here is commands, but can you see your device in adb when connected with usb. Can your phone get to the fastboot screen, I think it is power+vol down button.

Here is the commands you should try:

Via adb:

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

via fastboot menu as indicated:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Note: You should put the recovery.img in your root folder of the sd card(That is your main menu in your sd card). Also replace "recovery.img" with the name of the recovery img you want to install. The adb commands should be done with phone on as normal but connected to usb.

Example: flash_image recovery /sdcard/Maverix2b.img

Good luck.
