Cannot install / run Root Explorer - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the official nightly build of CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy Ace.
The root explorer just closes when I try to open it. So I removed it, and installed it via an apk, same issue.
And when I download it from the market, it says it's "Purchased", but when I try to download it, it gives me a 403 error. Please help. Thank you.

You know I have the same problem with the market saying I purchased it and giving me that error. I wouldn't know why its not opening on your phone tho.

Try wiping market cache and downloading again.

The file explorer in stock Cyanogen mod could do most things that root explorer could...by the way...you bought root explorer?impossible cause you said you were using an apk...google play now displays paid apps installed via apk as purchased...but won't let you download...

The FE does not give you root access, that's why RE comes in place.
But I prefer ES File.

Yeah, I think I'll just let it be since ES File Explorer does that, too.

Will this work on axura 2.2.5.7?
Update: I tried to install this but it didn't work. :-(

I downloaded and installed it right from this thread....didn't use root explorer. What is the correct way to install this, if mine was wrong.

Root Explorer or adb push to /system/app. Don't try to install like a normal app.
I just installed root explorer. Is this [LINK] a good tutorial on how to use RootExplorer... I couldn't find a step by step tutorial on xda.
root explorer is easy to use.
its just like using the stock files, but you can see other things that require root.
if your installing a app, and it won't let you install by just clicking it, then you go to the file, menu, copy/move, then go to system/app/ then paste/move it there, and then get out of that app, and in your app drawer, the app should be installed.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod on my Vibrant, and trying to get this APK installed. Using Root Explorer, I copied/pasted the APK to the system/app directory, but this didn't do anything.
Other things I tried:
- Opening all permissions to the APK that is in the system/app directory
- Rebooting
- Verifying that "allow non-market apps" is checked
- Using Root Explorer to browse to app, selecting it and choosing "install"
Nothing is working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this an incompatibility between the Task Manager "JobManager.apk" and Cyanogen?
Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

More than likely, its an incompatibility issue between I'm assuming a 2.2 ROM and a CM7 which is 2.3.

[Q] Intsalling leaked ICS Google Music App

I can't seem to side load this app. It side loads on my phone just fine but the app didn't come on my phone like it comes pre-loaded on our tabs. I tried installing via adb and root explorer. If anyone figures it out, please share.

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

[Q] Moved superuser apk and broke root access

Hello. I have rooted my Galaxy SII v 2.3.6 on Gingerbread build EL29 from sprint using the SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick method from odin found in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1433101 . My super user app was working fine until I accidentally moved it using a file explorer. The super user apk is in my systems/app folder but I can no longer access the program and none of my super user apps work. When I have tried to reroot the phone the oneclick method completes and says things went as planned, but no apk and no root access is available. Can someone please help me restore my root access. Thanks in advance, and apologies if I am in the wrong forum.
Try downloading superuser from the Play Store. Delete the superuser you already have beforehand though.

install from play store did not work
Thank you for the suggestion. Two issues, when I go to the store it says the app is already installed. Also when I try to delete the existing version, I get a permissions denied message. I am still stuck here.

Try to reroot by flashing a rooted kernel, rather than SOC.

Make sure when trying to delete, mount on root explorer should be r/w not r/o
Fixed it
Thanks very much. I used the [e4gtauto-sfx.exe] from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 to unroot and clean up any unneeded files from the phone then I went back to the odin root and now I have restored root access. Thanks again.

To root or not to root, that it's the question!!!

Well I've flashed a stock official virgin rom since I'm done with customs, the question its because I have superuser premium and it has the ability to go ghost mode (hide from upgrades so the device won't lose the root) but.... I know the rooting process leave my stock rom untouched being able to receive OTAs updates on my Gnex... but I don't know if the rotting process here will be the same... I mean will I still be able to get my OTAs (aka future ICS updates). On the gtab if I'm rooted?
My tab its carrier free, meaning ill get the OTA as soon as Samsung put the little file in the OTA server... I don't think I'm flashing custom ROMs as i love some Samsung apps wich need the touchwiz framework to work but at least in ICS I got the Nova launcher waiting so i can run Samsung apps with ICS AOSP looks...
Thanks in advance for the info

unrooting is easy. Use busybox app from market to remove busybox, delete superuser app from /system/app with es file explorer or root explorer, download superuser app from market, remove su-binary from /system/xbin or /system/bin. Uninstall superuser app.
