My phone is xperia x8 (android v 2.1.1).Please help.Sorry for my english, its not my native language
I use File Expert but I had the same problem. I don't know whether this solution is available or not, but it's worth a shot right?
You should first go to settings ---> File explorer settings ---> 'tick' Root Explorer
Then the mount option should appear. Try and see
using file export and I can't paste to system folder.

I'm trying to paste a file to the system folder, I have root expert ticked and mounted the folder. But it keeps saying "operation failed", please help.
In File Expert you should mount system as read-write manualy no matter that root explorer option is ticked on.

Silly question but are you rooted? That's the main thing that springs to mind here that and are you sure you've granted root explorer su permissions?

You need to Root your phone. You can then change the permissions, via Root Explorer, to make that directory R/W.

[Q] Apk in system/app help

I tried to copy and paste an apk into the system/app folder, but then Root Explorer told me "Not enough free space", so how do I fix this???
Backup and uninstall (with Titanium Backup) any unnecessary apk's.

Yeah you can uninstall any system apps like default launcher(of you are comfortable using other) to free up space...uninstall root apps only with root uninstaller

You could try switching from the regular gapps file (appx 50mb), to the small (apx 25).

[Q] Questio regarding file permissions

I have rooted my android phone (an MTK6577 with Android 4.1.1)
I downloaded ES File Explorer and in the settings turned on rot explorer.
I have a file on the SD card which I need to copy to the 'system/etc' directory - BUT - when I try to 'paste' it I get the error 'Permission denied'.
What else do I need to do that I am missing to allow the paste operation.
Any advice/comments appreciated.
Thanks
Change to read/write from read only
Also, I highly recommend root explorer found on Google play, by far the best root file explorer for android (having tried many)

Thank you.
Used Root Explorer (which I also found better) and all is sorted.
