How do I copy files to 'root' folder? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I recently rooted my x10 running stock 2.3.3 . I hav since installed xrecovery also.
I tried to fix audio stutter problem by copying the audio fix zip file to the root folder. However it said that I cannot copy it. What to do.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium

in case you missed these.
in most explorer settings theres a root selection (asking root permissions)
in case you cant find it dowload root explorer and remember to change the ''mount'' to r/w
and im pretty new to all this so this is not something you should use until confirmation is given but can't you usually install these zips trough recovery ?
hope it helped.

Yeah dude frm xrecovey only we hav to do it. However it says to place the audio fix zip folder inside the root folder in system and then flash via xrecovery. I cannot place it inside the root folder. I copying frm.root explorer and doing it also. Still it says I don't hav permission.
The only thing I actually flashed via xrecovery was the frames per sec zip. In that case I could place the file anywhere on the SD card and do it.

could be wrong but i remember reading a line like that to 'placing it on your root folder'
basicly it ment putting it on the SD card
i believe you'll be able to install it by
*putting it on sd card
*go in to xrecovery
*install custom zip
*selecting the file and voila
im looking for otherf answers/problems and ill see if i find anything brb

pretty much all say flash like a rom incase it aint working then there might be a permission problem ? i think thats in advanced options in xrecovery (the permissons)

I fixed permissions in xrecovery. .still if u find out something abt it lemme know.

this is what i found looking for a tutorial on the audio fix
1.The first step is to make sure that you have upgraded your device to official Gingerbread and have root privileges with xRecovery installed. You can follow the video guides here to get root and xRecovery on your device after upgrading to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
2.Now download the Xperia X10 Audio Stutter Fix zip package from here and save the archive on your desktop.
3.Now connect your phone to the computer, mount SD Card and copy the downloaded file to SD Card root.
4.Once done, reboot your device in xRecovery.
5.After you are in xRecovery, go to Install Custom Zip Package and in the resulting menu, select the zip file you earlier copied to SD Card root.
6.Now press OK to install the fix.
7.After the fix is flashed, reboot your device normally using Reboot in System option in recovery.
8.Now once your phone boots, play any song to check if stuttering has ceased.
so i dont know if you tried putting it on sd card or not if you did could you give me some info on what error your getting ?

Lol no error. I hav seen this very same.document. it says " mount SD card and copy to root folder "..... where is the root folder so that I can copy to that? ! Cuz when I mount it shows all the files on.SD card. It should show one directory above it.

I think what u said maybe is right....just copy pasting on.SD card and flashing via xrecovery

i found that very confusing to seeing english isnt my native language but yes
it means just somewhere on the sd card whare you can find it will do

Hi,
Have you checked your phone installed with SuperUser too? It also involved for ''asking root permission'' for apps which need root access. Another thing, you can give ROM ToolBox a try? Many features provided along the apps including copy/explore/extract zipped files, RootBrowser, CPU kernel tweaks, editing Build.prop and many more
''Google is always your friend'' if you want to find its APK file
Extra: Copy ur files into SD card will be best way to be flashed via xrecovery
Sincerely,
whitefang

Yo! I hav superuser. I hav titanium backup installed ( root access accepted) ,screenshot demo, setcpu, autokiller n swapper. All require root access.
Btw can u tell me if I can increase my touch responsitivity by messing arnd the build.prop file?

Unfortunately, due to X10's hardware limited support, 4points touch is not possible. In official 2.3.3, Dualtouch is supported along with updates. You check your Build.prop text like this below:
ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=4 But ''4'' seem don't works, you might see effect of ''2''
Gamepadding in emulator will not be problem, allowing two points touch
For Touching sentivity like increasing scrolling speed, you may need find Custom Launchers. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang

I know I have dual touch. But its kinda buggy and laggy...not while daily use, but when u play games u find out ...

Yeap. Backup can be many meanings like ur ROMS, Buildprop, Apps, Datas and etc. Most Probably will backup into your SD card. In specific folder for their backup. Only the app which started the backup can only view its backup content/format.
About the tweaks, i don't think it's necessary to post here But NO WORRY!!! You can find whole bunch list here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269

If you put it in system app you shouldn't need to install it just reboot your phone
i kno thats what i do and it doesnt work either
What is the file ur trying to push? Link? Does the firmware match from the ROM ur taking it from and pushing it into? System is set to Read/Write?had to ask, lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yea its set as r/w nd the file im tryin to push is like a skin for the mms i downloaded it from the hemes and apps section it somethin called DARK MMS and it came wit a zip fike so i jst downloaded it directly to my phone extracted it nd trted to push it... and im using TRIGGER
Funny enough, that mms.apk doesn't work for me either.

most were already apk's just rename and push, one was zips just unzip and they were already named mms.apk for me push and done.
Only thing was you gotta remember to rename them Mms.apk then replace your original. Don't forget to make a copy of your original. Once you replace the original mms.apk you should not have to install it. Just back out and open mms app and ur golden. First run will prob lag a little reboot phone should fix it. Good luck!

yea i downloaded those apks and also followed the steps to push them and nothing happened.. again what i did was ZIP FILE-MMS APKS- EXTRACT-EXTRACTED FOLDER-MMS APK- COPY- SYSTEM- APP PASTE and once i select paste it takes me to the SD card folder and the mms apk doesnt replace the original one.. instead it gets pasted on the SD card folder so it kinda mskes me mad because i try and i keep tryin and i even rebooted my phone so many times and it doesnt work at all!!!
Hmmm very odd indeed.
What file explorer are u using? Root explorer? That's what I used.
Are you dling and extracting all on phone? Try fresh dl on pc and unzip extract .apk on pc. Move .apk onto phone and then try to push it into /system
*Edit* The first 2 links are .apk already so I assume you mean the 3rd link. I unzipped the "blue colored" & "blue nolip" werked fine for me. Which ones were you trying?

The third one..... nd yea what i did was extract the apk from the zip fike nd tryed to push it into the system-app and pressd paste and nothin happens.. i reeboot and it doesnt do anythin... nd yea i used root explorer....

Ok so I assume you mean the 3rd .zip in the 3rd link which is the "Blue Mms nolip zip"?? If so thats awesome because its one that I tried and actually the last one I pushed. Here is the .apk from the zip I downloaded try pushing it. Maybe you got a bad download or a corrupt file during the unzip(prob not). Lemme know how it werks. If it doesn't maybe some screenshots of what your /system/app/ looks like in root explorer. Good luck!

Bootanimation File

Hey, i jz download a bootanimation, it was not a flashable, it jx replace the animation file, it say paste it in "system/media" anyone know where can i fjnd the system file/?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Where?
You may use RootExplorer or ROMtoolbox's root browser to browse your system location. If i'm not mistaken, bootanimation.zip will be located at
system>media>bootanimation.zip
Please note that the content of bootanimation.zip you planning to replace, is similar format/contents as in the ROM's bootanimation.zip. Even in same zip format, but Replacing different contents like subfolders/path contents, may lead phone failed to boot. Please bear in your mind You may need to find developers of those bootanimation collection and ask them whether works in what kind of ROMs. Hope helps.
for knowing how to make bootanimation.zip and its details, visit this http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide/ works almost every rooted device

ANYWAAAY , can i backup it the file or can backup with xRec?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
There are few methods
There are few ways:
1)For Xrecovery, you can. It will also backup all user's and system data (Memory size depends how many apps/things you put) for ROM you're currently using, Boot animation.zip is included. All will be compressed in Nandroid Format. But i dunno but some restored X10 seems lag abit. So reflash the ROM.zip normally recommended.
2)[PROJECT IN COMPUTER]You can first unzip the custom ROM.zip using 7Zip File manager.It will make you same folder but not zipped. Make sure you keep too Original ROM Zip file (so you can reflash it in case something goes wrong).
Then, Copy and paste your desired bootanimation.zip and replace it under folders System>Media>Bootanimation zip.
Most animations will work for stock roms Then, rezip all necessary folders under .zip format to make your flashable ROM.zip, but customised bootanimation.zip PS: Double check the customised zip's path whether similar to previous one alright .
Then Place it inside your SD card.
Next, go XRecovery mode and flash the zip using install custom zip from SD Card. Process completed with word "Installation Completed". Reboot your Phone. If got your bootanimation and homescreen reached, means Successful Even if you failed, just get back to Xrecovery and reflash original ROM that you used before. No Harm Hope helps.
3)[THEORY] Replace the bootanimation.zip under system/media/bootanimation.zip using ROMtoolbox. Then restart phone. Result:UNKNOWN xP

Vertu Ti theme

Is there any chance we could get the icons and the clock widget of the Vertu Ti?
That is, if anyone is willing to shell out 5K on a phone just for the sole purpose of extracting .apks from it.
If you guys tell me how I can extract the apks.

If u have a Ti(obviously),then first i think u need to get it Rooted (sometimes stock recovery does it too)in order to extract a widget that came preinstalled,then after u root it,use root explorer to go to system/app and then look out for the widget.apk's ..
Similarly,for the icons,look for the app in system/app(using root explorer, and then copy the .apk to ur sd card,put the file on ur desktop,rename it as a zip file,extract it .
Then go to the folder called res,then drawable-hdpi and all icons will be there in .png format.
But all this is useless if u havent got it rooted,because I think u wouldn't risk to lose warranty on such a phone..
Hope this helps

It helps, though there's no root solution as of now. I don't know where to start for the root, technical support won't help. Neither will the internet. There's already a topic on XDA but no solutions.
I think you don't need root for this.
Enable USB debugging, install phone drivers to your computer, then do adb pull /system/ path-to-dump-folder.
interesting...

I've yet to find appropriate drivers to connect to ADB. Whatever I do the phone also connects the MTP at the same time even if PTP is chosen. Any help would be much appreciated as I'd also like to backup the device via ADB. With the latest updates the phone is now running 4.2.2.
If I am not wrong, Root explorer does work on non-rooted phone.
you can access the /system partition for copying stuffs. (as you can understand without root it will only work in 'read only' mode).
Hi,
I was able to root my Ti using farmaroot just google it fairly simple method. You can also unroot to with this tool which is a plus. But I would like to know how do I access its recovery? Any help will be appreciated.

[Q] HELP Boot Loop due to android.policy.jar

I was Trying to Mod \system\framework\android.policy.jar For Enabling Long Press Menu to Kill App
But while trying to replace the file using Solid Explorer my phone got Restarted
And ended up in Boot Loop :crying:
Lucky I Had a Nandroid Backup of 20th August.
Restoring Backup had fixed the Boot Loop
But I lost many of my mods
Its my fault
I Should have Created a Backup
Does anyone knows why replacing the file caused the Boot Loop ?
And if I'm not asking for too much Could anyone be kind enough to mod my android.policy.jar For Enabling Long Press Menu to Kill App ?

The problem was that you're editing an important file of android os. You can't edit that file when using phone ,you have to replace file through recovery and set correct permissions to file.
So you need to create an update.zip (I can do this if you're not in hurry)

Also, an update zip is not required. You can use AROMA File Manager in recovery to replace the file, and use its built-in terminal to chmod/ chown it.

You could access recovery right?so you could do these to make your ROM back to life:
create nandroid backup from the unbootable ROM ,do wipes ,flash new ROM ,updating recovery(as you said dear laura) +make files ready to flash(move or what ever)
Then restore the defective ROM and flash file (android.policy.jar) ....
That's it, everything works again without losing any thing! Sorry if I made you sad again :banghead:

The file manager can have any name. You just install it like any other zip.
From the recovery file manager, try replacing that jar again, and use the terminal included in the file manager(menu > terminal) to chmod the replaced jar file.

Building a Rom is not an easy task.
And I'm not sure that whether everyone is going to like my rom.
After all I'm a girl, my likings will be entirely different from you guys...
But i do have a Custom Rom.
I had flashed it to all my friends who has S3.
They liked it very much (But they all are Girls)

If you don't create a thread for your Rom then you'll never know it'll be popular or not.most of girls don't like cyanogen cause of color less UI , but you know what do girls exactly like
Ps.How do you create build.prop? I mean some serial numbers or build numbers should not change to fake num. Right?

Sometimes we can use them by copying apk to data folder. Just copy the apk file to "/data/app folder and sey the permission. And reboot.

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I revived the topic after so much time to thank the contribution that helped me to reinstall a service that I uninstalled by mistake in my Note8.
Thank you very much!

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.
Regards
