[jussiseppo53]

Hey. im trying to install a file to my phone, but i can't install it for some reason. it keeps saying "system/bin/sdxpmgrd: Cannot open for write: Text file busy"

Anyone know how i could fix this?

No problem...by the way, a file is usually "busy" because it's already/still open by another process.

Thanks for the info. Do you know any way i could check which process is using the file?

There's a utility called "fuser" that's part of "busybox" that can report to you which pid (process id) has a particular file open.

If you don't have busybox, get this one and then, from a rooted shell prompt, type fuser <filename> where <filename> is the full path filename of the file that you want to see who has it open.

You should be able to do this from an Android Terminal Emulator prompt or an adb shell prompt.

Cheers!
