For some reason, I cannot access /data/data with Droid Explorer1 after adbd insecure install on my phone.2 I CAN access the folder via adb and su command.

What am I missing? (I want to modify a game file more conveniently)

Rooted stock Samsung Galaxy S5, hacked to work with Xposed framework.

1Note that DroidExplorer is NOT an app running on the device, but a Windows (.NET) application accessing the device over ADB – so suggesting "another file explorer app" is not useful :)
2Of course I also activated insecure mode after installing it

  • Does it work with other file explorers? – Thomas Vos May 22 '16 at 11:27
  • If you run adb shell, does the prompt end with a $ or a #? Do you have to run su to get the #? Background: Just installing the adb insecure app doesn't change things. You must run it and enable insecure mode. – Izzy May 22 '16 at 12:32
  • Hey guys, thanks for all the answers, let me be more specfic. SuperThomasLab & Gokul: It does work ON the phone (Rootexplorer etc). @Izzy: Indeed, I ran Droid Explorer on my PC to access my phone. Inside Droid Explorer, you can run seperate adb shell and with "su" and some "cd"' commands, you can access /data/data. HOWEVER DroidExplorer cannot! Of course I also enabled the adbd app after installing ;-). – user2305193 May 23 '16 at 07:00
  • @user2305193 I've updated your question accordingly (and cleaned up "obsoleted comments"). One question still open from my previous comment: what does the prompt look like when you run adb shell? If it's a $, adbd is not running in insecure mode, so trouble might be located there. – Izzy May 23 '16 at 08:44

    @user2305193 See if this helps: Droid Explorer permission denied when accessing root-only folders – Gokul NC May 23 '16 at 08:44

    Good find, @GokulNC – I'd almost go as far as to say "duplicate" to that. If OP confirms, that is :) – Izzy May 23 '16 at 08:45
  • @"Gokul NC": I read this post and did exactly everything they said - that's what I meant by "I activated it"... unfortunately no duplicate =( my problem wasn't solved by that post. Maybe I have to run the "adb remount" command, but then again, the problem isn't the access via shell but... I guess DroidExplorer does not 'claim' the appropriate su rights? I wish I could give/pipe DroidExplorer a shell with su rights already but I don't know how... – user2305193 Jun 05 '16 at 10:56
  • @Izzy: if adbd is not in insecure mode I coulnd't access /data/data with adb/su shell am I right? – user2305193 Jun 05 '16 at 12:24
  • Not with adb pull and adb push (which I assume DroidExplorer is using), no. Using su from a shell would work, though. A definite answer must be given from Ryan I guess (he's the dev of DroidExplorer). – Izzy Jun 05 '16 at 12:30
