Hi all, i have rooted, locke BL xperia Z and i have some issue with it.
first is with my sdcard, walkman still recgonize mp3 file in it, "super bankup" app still can backup my contact and sms to sdcard, but when i use Titanium backup or/ ES file manager, it cant recgonize sdcard or backup app to sdcard. With root explore i see the director of sdcard is "storage/sdcard1/.." and have one "/storage/sdcard0/.." (is it internal? ) with this issue i can not backup app to use after flash new ROM.
And another problem, in ROOT explore, each time i press the "mount R/O", is crash and reboot immediatly
So can anybody help my to fix? Thank in advace :fingers-crossed:
Are you using SuperSU? If so, try Superuser.

i have Superuser which work fine with Titanium. and with Astro file manager now i can manage file in sdcard - which have director: "storage/sdcard1"
So the only one problem left is i can not use Root explore, can sbd help? :crying:
I had a problem like that and I solved it by using super su instead of superuser and of that doesn't work re root your phone using the new bin4ry rooting method.
Press thanks if I have helped

Some apps I've found I had to browse to the external SD card by going mnt/sdcard/external_sd. I don't have my phone on me (getting repaired) so I can't check, but I found it pretty confusing. I had to actually go to my PC and browse to make sure it was actually pointing to the right spot.

I have LPY running with the CF kernel which was flashed via mobile Odin. I have root access for programs like Titanium, but I cannot delete items from my system/apps folder. I use ES File Explorer with the options checked for root access and for rw on root. I figured it was just an issue with the kernel but I have been told that full root works for others. Does anybody have any thoughts as to how I could go about getting full root working? I want to delete that pesky GMS_Maps.apk so I can replace it with one with working navigation where I live. Thanks for any help!

Check the "Mounted as button" on top left of Root Explorer and make sure you can switch the system to R/W (read/Write)
It may default to Read/Only
I downloaded root explorer in case that was the issue. I click the rw button when I go into the system folder but no joy. When I press it, nothing happens. The state remains ro and the button remains rw.

Tried reinstalling cwm and su/busybox via cwm and still no dice. Thinking I might just have to live with it until another kernel comes out and I feel safer with all this installing zips in cwm. Still, if anyone has any thoughts, please let me know because it's a bit annoying to me.

It's not LPY, but I seem to have full root again after flashing the newest ics and installing su/busybox using the following:

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.
System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

Hi,
the problem is next:
I root my phone (xperia x8) with super one click (successful), i follow the instructions
then i installed root explorer. after that I copy the cwm files and with root explorer i tried to remove it to system/bin
the problem starts here. there wasn't enough space, so I remove 3 files of 4.
after that i uninstall some unimportant apps to get some space.
when I tried to enter root explorer the message appear:
"restart app"
"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root accsess because of issuses with superuser,this often happensthe first time the app is run but usually fine from the on Click ok and restart the app to try again make sure you respoding superuser promt"
after that i tried everything:
- reinstall root explorer, restart phone, allow/decline in superuser... no result
- install es file es file explorer, and follow the instructions but no results, can see the system/bin folder but can't manage(copy/paste, cut/paste)
the message when i click root explorer in es file explorer said that the phone is not support.
in meanwhile I noticed that i cannot connect to my wireless network....
after that i tried:
- settings reset, nothing
- factory defaults.
after factory default my phone don't recognize my Sim card, and the wireless still not work.
I don't know what to do.
Can someone please help!
Please
did superuser ask you about permision? if not then you need to have superuser to use that alsbo you can install the cwm via rommanager which can be downloaded for free from google play
Thanks for the answer.
The superuser asked me about permission. and I click allow.
what is the procedure with rommanager?
Thanks in advance
after you get it from market you just need to open it and click flash cwm recover after that it will tell you that is completed succesful or not
but...
there is a little problem,
i can't connect to wireless network, and my sim card don't work, so I can't download it from market...
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Root your x8 using flahtool then use x8 toolbox to install recovery or cwm (is better) then try to get to cwm and make backup. Chceck mamufacture date and if you can unlock your bootloader then download and install custom kernel and rom

My XZ's been rebooting whenever I enter ES File Explorer. Is there a reason for this? Here's some background on what I did before this started happening:
1. I rooted my phone using goroh_kun's method
2. Renamed /data/usf to usf1 (NFC Fix)
3. Flashed CWM
4. Did a backup to external SD
5. Tried to change build.prop (DPI) and realized that my XZ will reboot once I'm in the ES File Explorer app for about 10+ seconds. Doesn't matter which directory I'm in.
Has anyone else experienced this?
You have to root using bin4ry method,it has a fix for this kind of reboot.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Oh snap. So I have to redo the root method huh. Do I flash a new firmware first? :/
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Did you manage to get this sorted?
Mine still reboots.
I'm using ES File explorer as well on unrooted XZ and I have no reboots.
You can now root using the bin4ry method to ensure a root that does not reboot your phone.
Press thanks If I helped

I'm not sure if CWM causes it. I've actually re-did the rooting a few times using Bin4ry's method and there's no problem when using ES File Explorer. This seems to have happened only after installing CWM. I'm gonna try and use TWRP and see how it goes.
EDIT: TWRP doesn't change anything. For some reason, the 2nd time I did the whole rooting process (with Bin4ry's tool), ES File Explorer did not restart the phone. I repaired my phone software using PC Companion and did the root again and this time, it seems to be crapping out again. No idea why though. I tested it right after rooting and there were no issues. This only happened after installing CWM so I'm not sure if installing that seems to have messed stuff up.
EDIT2: I followed this guy's advice and did a factory reset. I re-rooted with Bin4ry's v26 Tool and installed TWRP instead of CWM. ES File Explorer doesn't restart anymore If you've done the same using CWM, I'd say drop CWM and use TWRP for now until something's fixed.

You need to have a custom recovery installed to flash a pre rooted rom. It's easier to use Towelroot to root your phone

Please install supersu from playstore and root browser
I have superSU but under the Apps tab, it's blank, how do I add "quick pic" there?
I've launched "quick pic" and tried to delete some photos, it can't be done.
I have run the SDFix, it reports that it's been done.
I used root brower and check, the permission for the SDcard is no "777".
I tried to change it to "777" and was told it's not allow by the system.
SuperSU did not pop out at any time to "enable my apps for root access"
how did u guys do it on Sony Xperia Z?

3) using google play, and download superSU
4) load superSU and update binary
5) when using root browser, i can see ext sdcard not in 777
6) tried to change it to 777 and it says system not allow
7) installed titanium backup and it says it's rooted,
8) run titanium backup and back up some files
9) not able to see the titanium backup folder via usb thru the computer
10) only able to see it via the root browser, storage -> emulated -> titanium backup, and it's not 777

The one you're currently using. For example .230 .ftf file.
The steps you did are all right. It looks like there's somehow a software issue..
