It works for me. You'll get an error and pop-up window if the intended directory is mounted as read only, just remount r/w and make sure root explorer has root permissions, and it works fine. I use only root explorer, and can absolutely guarantee it works to do this operation, as I started doing the same thing when titanium was unable to convert to system app on 5.1.1.
A click on thanks is always appreciated.
I am using Root explorer. I don't know what's going on tried everything! And it has permission

If you're running encrypted, that's the issue. Otherwise, try cutting and pasting. You said before you copied, copy won't work, you can't have the same file in two different app groups at the same time.

I doubt it's the boot .img, depends which ROM you're using I guess, I think it's a permissions issue with root explorer. As I said, I've never seen that operation fail on my device outside of r/o, it works fine for me on flo and four other devices on 5.1.1 ROMs.

how are you trying to edit those files?
the phone is rooted, but it doesn't mean it sudo every single app you run. plus if i'm not mistaken, / is mounted as read-only. you'll need to remount it as r/w
i' ve tried with andexplorer (downloaded from market) and root explorer. trying to edit build.prop file

I am trying to remove the SPG.apk (I believe that's Verizon's tether block application) from a stock rom that is already installed on my phone. I tried using root explorer however it won't let me. I believe there is a way to use adb to do this? If so, what would the command lines be?
use
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>

To delete anything off the /system partition in root explorer, you need to mount the it r/w first. There is a button on the top that should say "Mount R/W". You need to press that before deleting anything.
Root Explorer will let you remove anything you want.
Provided you click the Mount R/W button in the top right first.....

Def rooted, however removing the app I listed below just messed things up. Anybody know how to remove the Verizon tether block without installing a custom rom

I wasn't sure if root explorer would function as a normal file manager without root. Especially considering he said he is running s stock rom.

Nope. It won't run without root. The developer has another file explorer called "Explorer" as opposed to "Root Explorer", and that one runs without root.

If you just rooted, you don't have a custom ROM but simply Google's stock images. What you need to do is read this guide and only flash system.img instead of all of them. Be sure to use the correct version!

Assuming the SYSTEMUI.apk is under the same location of ADB, use command below:

Once this is solved you should learn to adb/fastboot. If you knew how you wouldn't have any issues solving problems like this yourself. Also none of the potential for user error the toolkit has.

Agreed. The toolkit helped me out of a few "oh dang" moments when I wasn't particularly familiar with THIS phone, but knowing things about adb, Android mounts/filesystem, etc. has helped me out far more.
You need to learn about adb push, install, uninstall, get-state, and reboot commands, at least. You should also learn a little about some of the more important mount points (/system, /data, /cache) and what kind of files get stored there. For example, since the GNex doesn't have an actual SD card, you NEVER wipe/format /system without a darned good reason.
Hope you get the issue fixed. It does seem like going back to a stock ROM, or reverting to a ROM (or nandroid backup; you made one, right?) that worked correctly will clear it up, easy peasy.
I cant seem to find this anywhere so I thought I would ask. Where can I find the backup f iles that CWM has created? Im using ASTRO file explorer, but Ive tried finding them with ES as well. Any help is gretaly appreciated.

What version of CWM? Should be data/media/clockworkmod if youre above 6.0.1.5. But you need to enable root explorer settings and system as writable [i believe] to see anything in data in es explorer.

Nvm I found a work around using the PC tool. Thanks anyway.
So long as you had ES File Explorer set to have root access you would have found them in /media/data/clockworkmod
EDIT: You know something, this used to work but now it doesn't. How strange...

This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.
This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.
