[TOOL & HACK] unlock your SIM FOREVER (ICS & JB)

Hi guys, I understand that some of you are unhappy with this sim lock because you want to test the latest JB leak . so here i ve a solution for you.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!​
Precaution:
-* don't use voodoo app after using this mod or any other mod, (if you want use other mod restore your original efs file).
-** Before to update to a new build (like the coming stable JB) restore your original efs.
*, **, in the case you got the phone unlocked you can always use my mod to unlock it :good:
HOW TO UNLOCK
- First you need to backup your "EFS FILE" in safe place.
- you must be in unlocked stock firmware like BLG8 (using voodoo app + libsec-ril.so (mike1986 fix))
- unzip the attached zip "efs.zip"
- copy the files (.nv_core.bak, .nv_core.bak.md5) to your EFS file
- reboot and enjoy !!!
NOTE: applying this mod will not change your imei.
Backup & Copy & Past & Reboot ....easy
This MOD will remove the lock completely.
Don't tell me what i did because SAMSUNG ......is UNHAPPY
JUST CLICK ON THANKS

Is there something lost in translation?
"before backup this efs"
I think you mean backup efs before doing this?

Xperia T can't perform root actions

My XT used to be fine: unlocked bootloader, rooted, could uninstall what I wanted...
But as some of you know, after flashing Sony's JB ftf, and following root methods, the SuperSU apk is installed, but doesn't work...
My phone claims to be rooted... but no system apps can be uninstalled, I have now realized that this is permanent. I have flashed CM10 and the deletion of system files still fails...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just encase you tell me to try again or that I did something wrong, I DEFINITELY did stuff how they are supposed to be done and tried many times.

Binaries are all in place and up to date (/system/xbin/su)???

Yep, checked, the permissions are also correct.

have you tried to factory reset and reroot device could be a glitch in the matrix

I noticed that I removed system apps with doom kernel and that when I flashed stock kernel the apps were still there... I thought I had this problem as well. But I removed them again using titanium and now they are gone.
One thing to note. I also rebooted my phone for the first time last night and when it rebooted I got the grey triangle thing. I left my phone overnight and now it's fine... Not sure if it's related but...

Nope did that, not working.
Doesn't even allow me to remove apps when using Doom Kernel...

Which method are you using to remove them?
Are you using titanium or removing the apks from system\app using root explorer

Uninstalling via ES File Explorer.
I also cannot delete the apks.
Then when flashing a new ROM (even after wiping everything), still no luck.

I'll use Sony's flashtool and go back to ICS, that should fix it.
I might just have to wait for the official update, things might work for me then.

Have you tried flashing supersu and binaries in recovery? You can download it from chainfires thread

Or just use the pre rooted zip from timin8r in development section (stock, rooted and deodexed).
Also kernel is flashable trough zip so all you need is cwm to start with.

Yep, tried all of that, still didn't work. Very strange. Flashed stock ICS ftf, just gonna wait until the JB update is available on Sony Flashtool, things might work better then, for some reason.

I've heard about some system apps being not just in the system folder, but in another folder too (might have been data?) It's happened before that people delete the one in the system folder but the app pops back after a reboot... probably won't help, but always worth checking?

I've experienced this on occasion, it's been in /data/app also and pushes back to /system/app on reboot. Both must be deleted

No, that's not the problem, it's acting as if I'm not rooted; I can't delete these system files.

I might be saying somehting you have tried here, but have you tried deleting using titanium backup?

What about trying superuser by chainsDD rather than supersu

Going to try my luck with the new kernel with recovery.
EDIT: No, still not working...

Thought about formatting all partitions and sdcards, and then flash ftf , boot, flash kernel with twrp, boot, flash superuser and/or update.zip?

[SOLVED]SU binaries

I'm on xperiatized ics and rooted. However if I go into root explorer, I can't change from ro to rw. Anything which requires root will say superuser has denied it or it hasn't obtain root access yet. Can anyone help?

Hi jumper62!
You could try updating super user app or installing new binary from superuser/ info.
Also, you could try Superuser Update Fixer (free aplication from the market)
Just in case, perhaps you could try installing yor ROM again.
Good luck.

Flash any superuser package meant for arm like universal gb root
And then optional steps are below
Install supersu from market then open it
It will ask to update su binary just do it and you would be good to go

Unable to Update any Zips on my ZL

hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!
I am indeed sorry to post it on Z forums but I had no other option as I was getting no support on this in ZL forums.. can anyone help pls?

Try rerooting, failing that flash your backup or start from scratch.
