Rather than using Root Explorer, I would like to have full root access to the file system via USB, so I can do my file management through the PC.
Is this possible?
You could try Droid Explorer, I haven't been able to yet since it started giving me low memory errors on startup, but it might work for the Atrix.
Ideally, I would want to use my own file manager. I guess that's not really a viable choice at the moment, I take it?

Hi!
I´m still using CM7 alpha2 since it seems that it onlys uses MTP to copy files and I ´m using a Mac OSX.
The thing is recently I tried to download an app that requires root access, but after installing I cannot use it.
Then I tried to use the isntalled apps that require root access and noe of them work.
I tried to find a thread that coud help me but so far no luck.
Can someboy explain please how to regain root access in my Touchpad?
By the way I have seen threads of other devices where the answer involve something terminal commands started with adb shell.
I use the terminal and bash all the time but I don´t know if I need to download/install some additional software?
Thanks!
sounds like there is something wrong with the superuser app.
Anyway the ICS roms use MTP for file transfer.
i don't think the touchpad needed root access to my mind it's gotta be the SU app or some sort of file/binary related to it
Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
Guys, I have a hard rooted phone, I have adb access, and even root access from the android commander. I can Push files. Even uninstall system files from the Commander. However, I dont have SuperUser/Busybox or any such app on my devce. Rootchecker says I dnt have root access on my device, Can I still be able to Swap my memory, to have a greater Ram/Internal Memory? Please Help me
On my previous Verizon Android phones (Droid X, Thunderbolt, Rezound), once I was rooted, I was able to remove the .iso file in \system\etc that caused the verizon bloatware autorun package to execute every time I plugged the phone into my computer.
On my S4, I have root access, and have granted root access to the file manager app I'm using, but it's still telling me I don't have permission to delete "Autorun.iso" in \system\etc
Anyone know how I can get rid of it?

Ah, I'm an idiot... I forgot to tell ES File Explorer to mount the system directory as writable.
Thanks.
I would like to kill that annoying feature as well. Did deleting that file work? I want my phone straight into mass storage when I connect it to a PC.

Yes and no.
Deleting that file worked perfectly in that the Verizon autorun BS doesn't start every time I plug it in, which is all I was really going for.
Unfortunately, as I've discovered based on another thread in this forum, mass storage mode is pretty much done for. The best I can do is putting it into "MTP" (media device) mode. It seems like MOST of the time, it'll go into MTP mode when I plug it in, but not always - sometimes it'll say "connected as an installer", or switch to that mode after initially being in MTP.
I have yet to find a way to make it go into true mass storage mode (the MTP mode kinda sucks - the transfer rate is slow, getting to the SD directory takes several more clicks, and since Windows is treating it like a media device, file transfers are screwy at best), let alone "charge only" mode, which is all I really want ~95% of the time.
