Which rom?
Are you rooted?
have you unlocked bootloader?

for the rom, i have naked 7.0.A.1.303
i'm rooted and i don't have unlock my BT

I know this problem, this is because of the root via Flashtool. I had reboots too. Solution: remove root, and get root via this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
It is alomst the same, but the fact is that you will have root without reboots. I really don`t know why is happening this problem when root gets by Flashtool. By the way, reboots happening only when yoy mount r/w, when r/o, there`s no reboots. When you get root with method that i wrote above, there will be no reboots at all.

it's work
thanks ! ^^

where are the ringtones?

Hi fellow galaxy owners,
I'm trying to find the ringtones in the galaxy S in order to transfer one to my gf's phone (the good morning one) but I can only locate them in the settings>audio and display>setting for voice call etc. But the phone options don't allow to transfer them from that menu
But I'm unable to find them through the music player or file explorer. Do I need a root file explorer in order to get to it?
Muchas gracias.
You need Root access to be able to get to the folder containing the original tone

you might have rooted your device, but you will need to pull them using ADB or use an app like 'Root Explorer'
Ok, muchas gracias.
I suspected so, and yea my phone is rooted (did it for the lagfix) so it's a matter of getting rootexplorer then.
Thanks again.

Phone shuts down immediately when I use Root Explorer

I got a weird situation. My phone just shuts down when I use Root Explorer, randomly. It has happened while I made a zip of a system file, mounted R/W, deleting a system file. It appears to be completely random. Tried clearing root permissions for it and reaenabled it but it still happens. A reinstall of Root Explorer didn't help either. Any idea what's the problem?
On KA03 ROM, locked bootloader and rooted.

you probably have not stopped ric, on these devices there is a service called ric which resets the device when system is mounted r/w

adb stop ric, do you use supersu or superuser?

That happened to me a few days back, its shows as if you have root but in reality you don't. I tried re-rooting but it would no let me do it again because the superuser.apk already existed. I deleted it and lost root completely but still it would not let me re-root. In the end I just flashed a different rom again as the one one I had flashed was pre-rooted.
So my advice would be to flash and unrooted ROM and then root instead of a pre-rooted ROM (maybe this wasn't your case but it is very similar to what happened to me!!)

Followed this post and all is well so far. No more random shut offs! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :good:

lilstevie pointed you in the right direction, superSU causes these. Superuser or the new, Koush's Superuser app don't do this.

Xperia TX Jelly Bean - Possible solution to wifi connexion issues

Hey,
So after updating the Xperia TX to JB, i have noticed that there is an issue with wifi connexions, meaning that the phone will no longer connect to some access points of software access points (connectify, virtual router, etc...). After entering WPA key, it just says connecting then goes back to previous state.
I fiddled a bit with this and finally compared wlan .ini files from ICS and JB.
If you are having the same problem, a small modification to the .ini file might solve the problem...well in my case it did.
Please note that you need root access to modify this file.
1) Mount system folder as writable using your file manager or root explorer
2) Navigate to /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima
3) Make a backup of WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
4) Open WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and look for g11dSupportEnabled=1
5) Modify it to g11dSupportEnabled=0 and save the file
6) Power off your wifi and Power on again
7) Forget the SSID you've had issues to connect to and try to connect again
and you should be good to go.
To understand the g11dSupport property please refer to here - from wikipedia
if the above did not work, there is another property which has changed:
gEnableFWRssiMonitoring=1 in JB was gEnableFWRssiMonitoring=0 in ICS
You may wanna try that.
works on tx build .67
before i changed this damn 1 to 0 i couldn't connect to my wireless modem !
but now its ok.
tnx:good:
great it worked!! pressed thanks..
i tried with ex file manager, it couldnt save the script.. then used root browser.. did the trick..
if i unroot, i will loose this fix?

Make sure you have root access and that system is mounted as R/W
If you have root, you can usually remount in your file manager application (File Manager or ES explorer). Check in settings

There must be something wrong with your RW access if you cannot modify the file.
Try this:
1) Copy the said file to your SD card
2) Connect your phone as Mass Storage
3) Using and Editing software like Notepad ++ open the file and make the changes and save the file
4) Go back to your File Manager and rename the existing file (the one in the root folder)
5) Copy the modified file from your SD card to the correct location
If copying or renaming the file fails, means you dont have Read/Write access to the root folder.
I am also using xperia tx and although my wifi doesnt disconnect , it really makes my phone lag a lot while I am using wifi...should I also try this method ?

If you have root access you may try it. Though i don't know if it will solve it. The wifi problems are very eratic. Most of the issues depend on the access points being used and their settings.
Try it and keep us posted.
Don't forget to make a backup of the file before modifying.

I just rooted my phone today and after mounting the system to r/w on root explorer, my phone restarts suddenly.
Search for and flash the reboot fix. It's a known issue

Make sure you delete /data/alsa folder and reboot. Use Root Explorer

mount -o remount,rw /system mount: Read-only file system

Im on Android M preview 2 with Desparis 3.3 kernel, rooted.
I would like to update build.prop and change user -> userdebug.
Before on Lollipop all I had to do is remount /system in rw and change the file.
Android M doesn't allow me to remount /system in rw.
adb push fails to overwrite the file.
Any solutions please ?

I dont think you can write to system at all anymore, even with root. I do it all in recovery for right now.
Thanks! At least it's one possible solution !

Actually, can you elaborate how do you do it ?
I've just tried booting into TWRP, then connected the phone to PC, did adb push of changed build.prop into /system, reboot the phone and realized that the phone still has the old build.prop.

First in twrp make sure you mount system in the mount menu then you should be able to push and pull. You probably pushed the file nowhere even though I think you should've got a error message. I pulled the build.prop straight from twrp edited it then pushed it right back. Did it for the tethering hack. ? ?

I didn't think write to system was working in the M builds. Must be something wrong with his root method.

Root works great in all apps.
The only problem I have is with RO system. Before M I would use ES explorer to modify and save build.prop and Android Terminal to remount system as RW. But it doesn't work like that anymore in M.
Ive never tried root explorer.

it works exactly like it did before over here. and ive manuslly changed my build.orop several times already.
I'm on Preview 2, rooted, Despair kernel 3.3.
Still confused as to how to enable mounting /system r/w from within Android and not TWRP. Trying FX file explorer as well as Terminal Emulator with no success. I have Busybox installed and under Applet Manager it shows the "Mount" applet as installed and symlinked to /system/bin/toolbox.

Root Explorer FTW. Always works and same file system as shows on PC.
Well Root Explorer wasn't the answer, surprisingly enough haha...
Needed insecure boot.img obtained here flashed with help from this thread, with further reading here for better understanding or doing it yourself.
Also I apparently forgot that adbd insecure by chainfire exists until just now, which could have potentially been another solution.
