Happy Friday people,
I’ve tried a bunch of file explorers to access my root files on my phone with no luck. Any other tips? Not interested in rooting phone.

They are called root files for a reason. There is no way to access them without rooting.

Or more accurately, it is called rooting because it gives you root access.

Isn’t what you are proposing akin to saying “I’ve got a bunch of cash in my safe, but I have no interest in entering the combination, how can I access the cash?”

Rooting isn’t too big of a deal if you know your way around a computer and can follow instructions (as there are many out there). Root-level apps like FlashFire make it easy to keep up to date with the latest OTAs as well. Otherwise you’re kinda SOL because that’s a fundamental property of file systems that you’re attempting to circumvent.

How comfortable are you with the Linux command line? I’m not a big Android guy, but I am a Linux guy. As I type this I’m thinking you’ll still need to root the phone even if you do access the files via ssh.

I know what i’m asking sounds ignorant but there was supposed to be a way to do this with tools such as ES file viewer, unless I researched incorrectly.

The info I want is tied to my google account...still haven’t found how to access that information even online.
Specifically I want to see my saved wifi passwords.

Yeah, I’m no expert, I was more so asking the question. I bet reddit could help you!

Google says ES file viewer can be used to view root files on a rooted device. It would be a massive security hole to be able to do that by default.
