[Q] Sensation and Droid explorer

[Stephen]

I have just received my sensation this morning. It is an amazing phone. I have had the HD2 for nearly two years now and ran android on it for the last few months.

I have put S-OFF on and rooted my phone with out any problems. I then connected it to droid explorer. Droid see's the phone and connects to it, but doesn't bring up any directories or files.

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Other issue I have is the weather keeps dissapearing and I have to sync it again. Very odd.

Hey, I've ran across this issue before and apparently it has to do with permissions of ADB and the sensation. Only solution I had was to change permissions (suggested in quote below)

"this has to do with the default permissions of /data. ADB, which is what Droid Explorer uses to currently communicate with your device, does not have 'root' access in the shell and some directory like /data dont allow you to access them unless you have root permissions. This is something that is being worked on, but I do not have an ETA yet to when it will be released. Another option is to change the permissions to /data with chmod."

EDIT: I just did this with a different computer as well to make sure it works. As long as your device is rooted:
- Install ES File Explorer.
- Open its settings, enable Root Explorer.
- Click on the star for favorites, phone, and it should open up root directory.
- Hold down on /data, scroll to the bottom and select view permissions. If the permissions are not set correctly, reset them (rwxrwx--x)
- Plug USB back in, make sure you are using HTC Sync (not disk drive), check that adb recognizes the device (adb devices)
- Open up Droid Explorer and you should be able to use it to navigate!

Treid that and the permissions were set to rwxrwx--x all ready. It is still not working. It is not a big issue. I can do everything I need through root explorer and I can still install apps using droid but it would be nice to get this to work!
