Did you have busybox installed when you tried it ?

I did not at first, and realize my mistake later on when being unable to browse folders. Installed it, restarted both the Liquid and DroidExplorer and ... tadaa ! It works perfectly for me (Windows 7/32)

[Guest Ricky Lui]

I get my Liquid works on it.

FYI, I am using 1.008.00 EMEA GEN1 with Lickonn's Recovery Image and Custom ROM. (busybox built-in) And with Windows XP SP3. Haven't tried other windows yet.

Here are what I tried with Droid Explorer with Liquid

- transfer files

- install/uninstall apps (even in batch)

- boot in normal/fastboot/recovery

- flash update.zip

There are some little bugs, like if I rebooted the device (when connecting USB and Droid Exlorer), Droid Explorer sometimes can't refresh the files in the device. So have to restart Droid Explorer.

Cannot type anything in build-it console.

In conclusion, the application is satisfactory to me as the main function works!

(I always like to install things and flash updates)

This tool become very handy to me~

Especially for the reboot function~
