Root Explorer Question

roger_15 · 01-16-2011, 01:48 PM

Can someone tell me how to "rename" a file? (.zip file)

I want to use Root Explorer to rename /etc/security/otacerts.zip. I am mounted
in r/w but I don't see an option to name this file. I've read all kinds of threads
that say you can do it; I can delete, copy, paste, move, but nothing to
name or rename a file.

Thanks.

I'm on version 2.12.4, don't know if it matters. Here's my menu choices.

SCION, may I ask where you, or how you, got that list of options...meaning
what button did you push. My list I am able to bring up is much more limited.

My version is 2.13.3

Thanks.
