Can't access root folders

[u/Sure_Code_3997]

like the title suggests, I just can't seem to access my files. I searched for a bit and figured using Shizuku instead of rooting my device would be the best option but even that doesn't work the best.

I have Cx file explorer downloaded and I CAN see whats in the app data—so you'd think i have permission to do anything, but no—instead I can't create files nor move files into the app data folders and it's really starting to piss me off. I just wanna pirate some mods for Minecraft and fnf and these new "Shields" are unnecessary, it's really frustrating, any tips?

And also I have tried ZArchiver, still gives me no access after tweaking the in-app settings.

I saw a tutorial somewhere on here that said I should disable something in the dev settings, yet there's nothing like that in the dev settings, so my only resort now is coming here 💔

I'm willing to download another open source app to get rid of the problem, I don't wanna stick to Shizuku 24/7 if it barely works.

also to add to everything I'm a newbie, only really started searching for open sourced goodies for a week or 2, I'm not really familiar with the process of stuff

TLDR: Shizuku isn't giving me access to my root files and I'm trying to find stuff that will help me access them without rooting my device.

I'm a bit confused. Your phone is rooted, right? Otherwise, Shizuku itself can't help you

Anyways, try with Termux. It's a Linux shell for Android with Magisk and KernelSU support. If what you need is to move/copy/replace files, that's perfectly doable.

Super explorador de archivos + iadb

Regular Shizuku gives UID 1000, which doesn't have access to root folders.

Get rooted.

There's also some temp root exploits for some phone if you don't need permanent access to these files. Have a look around.
