Is there any software that can explore and modify android system files like Droid Explorer but that doesn't use ADB since I can't enable USB debugging on my device???I need to add a file that I accidentaly deleted into my smartphone but I can't make it properly work...

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.

Hi,
thanks for the reply,
I have found PC software that lets you explorer the file system inc system partition and loads of excellent features.
Droid Explorer

you can use application "Easy Android Manager" in website viyoona [dot] com
Another option is to use TotalCommander with Android ADB plugin.
Alright well because of my situation I do not have Wi-Fi for the next 5 months. I have internet (obviously). Well I have 0 apps from the android market and that is also astro. When I try to put apps onto my SD card I cannot install them (obviously). Debating on rooting it and I am running Android Ver 3.1. Does anybody have any ideas for my issue?
Did you try installing those apps with the option "Allow unknown sources" (something like that) checked, in the Definitions->Applications menu?
Yes I have tried to do that. what I have done is go into the file transfer, transfer to a folder, locate file still on the file transfer app and push on it. The open file selection in grayed out.
Install adb drivers for the tab on your computer. Turn on USB Debugging. Find an apk install file of ES File Explorer or Astro. Connect your tab to pc via usb cable. Install this apk onto your tab by typing the following command into cmd: 'adb install fullpathtoapk' where fullpathtofile is for e.g 'd:\install.apk'
Find the adb drivers here: www.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488822
If i helped, press the thanks button!
Try installing something like the Astro File Manager on your tablet. After you copied the app file from your PC into the tablet's SD, run Astro, locate the file an then install it (this, inside Astro)...
As putente said, although Sony's File Transfer app cannot open apk's, most file explorers such as ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer, and Astro File Manager will have their associations set so that apk's can be opened using the built-in (and available offline) Package Installer. So, first use either adb install or WiFi to install a good file manager, then load your apk's on your external SD, browse to them in your new file manager, and open with the Package Installer.
Thank you
Thank you xyancompgeek, you led me into the right dirrection. Yeah Wifi would have been a nice option but I am kinda on deployment so that helps out a lot with passing the time
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. My phone is rooted. When I plug it into the PC, I want to be able to see all the files/folders that I'm able to view when I look through a "root folder app" on my phone.
Is this possible?
Cheers
In the wonderful world of adb, yes.
Sorry , but from standart window explorer you can't see ever folder . There are some differences in permissions and because of your device is linux and pc is windows you can't see everything without adb , but you can install Root Explorer and see it from your device
Guessing ADB mode is the only way of accessing the root files/folders then?
Was hoping to create a java script that extracts the messages.db from one of the root folders.
Edit - Can you only select ADB mode through Eclipse?
Edit 2# - Does ADB mode need to be selected every time you wish to access root files / folders?
So I edited a system file to fix the ****ty touchscreen on my Z1 and now I can't use my touchscreen. Can I fix this via my PC? I tried Android Commander and Droid Explorer and neither of them do anything, it won't show my phone. Am I ****ed? (Yes my phone is rooted)
