I recently tried to change it using a terminal and failed miserably
so I unbricked my phone but now Im getting authentication errors. can I replace my build.prop and fix that with Root Explorer? Market not working either.. At&t Samsung Infuse 4g
change it as in change the properties inside? the easiest way to do it is use root explorer and open it as a txt file. make sure root explorer is on r/w, not r/o. then you can change it as much as you want.
Well now I'm in but my how do i fix authentication?

Hello everyone I would like to ask a question: I had the iphone 3G and Cyberduck could navigate through the system folders of the phone to change them at my leisure. There is something for the streak of 2.1 with root permissions installed? thanks
i use root explorer and astro. Both available in market. If phone is not rooted cant modify filesystem.
Anyone else have issues using Root Explorer to edit files??
Trying to modify the /system/build.prop file in order to see if I can get the Netflix app to work. I purchased Root Explorer so I can edit some lines of the file. For some reason, I cannot save any of the changes. I tried on other files, and as soon as I leave and come back...the file goes back to its original state.
I've tried: copy, pasting and deleting files works. I am ensuring that I have Mount R/W selected to enable writing. I contacted Root Manager support and they suggested I try changing the permissions on the folder “/data/data/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer/files” to 777. No luck.
I have also attempted using the free file manager app "ES File Explorer" without any luck.
Try using Ghost Commander. Take some time to get used to it but its a solid app.

Are you selecting menu, then save and exit?

Using Root Explorer, haven't been able to Edit files and save them. For example, when I want to edit build.prop root explorer will not save the changes. Yes system is mounted RW, I can edit it in another file manager then copy the file into the right place and it saves. Any ideas, this has been a issue since I got my SGSII regardless of the rom on it.
Can you edit other files? I just long-clicked on a .txt file and selected Open in Text Editor. Changed a number and then hit menu > save changes. Saved no problem and I do this quite a bit.
I gave up on root explorer and moved on to root browser. It does everything, and on the xda forums, you can make it pro for free. Search for it, you will be pleased.
Have they fixed this in a recent update?

Hey Guys
I`m having problems with copy a file to system/framework.
There is always an error that tells me it is just readable and i`m not allowed to copy the file there.
Help please
Change atribution; files must be RW. Use root explorer; its easy.
Using Root Explorer , and you can change the R/O to R/W just one click.
you can also get ES File Explorer to do so if you like ES.
Hi all,
I can't edit the text files on my Mini...I have tried every idea and cannot edit a file...I'm trying to disable auto-brightness. On my old 2010 Mini the option comes up immediately - edit in text editor, but not in this one. How are you guys doing it?

What textfiles do you try to edit?
It could be a permission problem.
I use the text editor built in "ES File Explorer", I am very happy with it.
Sometimes I also use the terminal emulator and "vi".
Thanks for the tip, I'll give file explorer a go.
I am trying to edit hw_config.so
The flashtool in this area that people use allows you to edit a file in your phone and thankfully I did it. But as you know you need an app on your phone to do that too. Root explorer won't allow me. I've mounted, changed permissions to all types and no luck.

Ok, that was also the first reason why I did choose "ES File Explorer" I have been very happy with this file manager.
