[Q] ES file explorer can't get root access

[JackyJack]

Hi,

I easly unlocked and rooted my Razr i using mattlgroff tools.
My phone is rooted, some apps like adfree are running perfectly, but, ES file explorer won't manage to get root access.

When I tick the "Root Explorer" option, it asks for root, works hard for 1 or 2 seconds, then tells me "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone".

I tried to update su binary and busybox (wich was actually already up to date) but nothing changed.

I have the same problem... For the moment I use an alternative app :
Root Browser Lite

It works fine as root and it is free.

If you cant afford Root Explorer (which is awesome) I would suggest using Solid Explorer because its not awesome, its SUPER awesome and free

Download any other rootable File Manager from store (make sure to grant root access and enable r/w) then COPY all the files in /su/bin to /system/xbin. Then, ES file Exp. Pro 1.0.7 root explorer works fine..
