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?
Click the thanks button if I helped!

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?

Hi!
I really want to get the 4.2 camera om to my Xperia Z, especially the Photo Sphere. I've found numerous tutorials, but all of them involves ClockworkMod Recovery. By my understanding, you have to unlock the bootloader in order to install the CWM Recovery, which is not an option for me. I need my warranty to stay. Am I wrong? Do I need to unlock it or not? If not, how do I install Recovery mode? If yes, is there any other way to get the 4.2 camera? I've seen the PhotoSphere Installer APK, but it semms like Google has removed it from Google Play, or am I wrong? If I'm not, is there any other way to download the APK, from like MediaFire?
You can find it here....

You dont need to unlock the bootloader in order to install CWM or TRWP.. Follow the link below to root the device and install the cwm for locked bootloaders from the original development section

Thanks everyone! I've got another problem..
I accidently pressed "apply .zip from sideload", and now I'm stuck on a screen saying:
Sideload started...
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"..
.
How do I exit this/reboot? I've pressed the power button for about 2 min, and nothing happens..
Press volum +and power at same time and wait 3 vibraition... And power up after this....

Hello guys,
I just rooted my Xperia Z and flashed this ROM on to my Xperia Z: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262905
After flashed I clicked reboot system now on CWM. However, the phone didn't restart. After a minute, I turned it on myself but the screen would not come on, it was totally blank. I connected it to the charger (it's in charging now) and a RED LED keeps flashing.
What should I do? Please help .
Also, like a dimwit I didn't backup my phone so please give me methods to back it up in it's current state just in case any methods you guys recommend delete the data on my phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
raheem

Hello guys!
I have a serious problem. Yesterday i've tried to update my Xperia Z to the latest software (253) and, well, it didn't go to well. After reboot i got the tools icon ( http://i.imgur.com/GFRr8Cj.jpg?2 ) and i had to leave the phone on for the night to finish this. After all of this i ran the SUS thingy, which means that i am right now back to stock. It wouldn't be a problem, as i have a backup, but turns out that my contacts and last calls registry doesn't want to come back from this backup. Anyone else had this problem and solved it? Would really appriciate any help.
Best regards

Yea, thats true, but to be honest, i had this option turned off so restoring my contacts from my backup is the only option for me. :|
Go back to the previous rom you where using and try to restore your contacts.

Ha! Managed! Used this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/453530#453530
Only problem is that for Xperia Z you have to use "com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook" catalog instead of "com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport".
Thanks for trying to help me dante501 and gm007, luv ya guys.
dante501: you're probably right, will be doing that from now on.

Hi I humbly ask for your help for my xperia V, Its my first time to use android and my current phones are iPhone and Blackberry and never had issues like this.
My xperia V phone is not rooted and has the updated firmware of 9.1.1A something. Hongkong Phone, Has the updated firmware from the box, so everytime I restore/factory reset, no need for updates.
My problem is my phone keeps crashing and restart like crazy 2-3 days ago. I downloaded an app named 'Root External 2 Internal SD' without even realizing my phone is not rooted because its my first time. And after that maybe the crashes started, everytime I restart, restore, my phone is just the same nothing changes. Restart after 1-5 mins and sometimes now crash when I am navigating around. In airplane mode, the phone works great and its not dying or anything, also I can use the phone as an mp3 player, camera, wifi, all good.
I just want an opinion from an expert I will post videos too, if needed.
My questions:
1. Did this app 'Root External 2 Internal SD' killed my phone because it was not rooted?
2. Do I need to root the phone to a fresh new ROM ?
3. If I dont need to root the phone(Warranty is not an issue) How do I restore it fresh from its stock Rom/Old ROM I feel I damaged it because of that application?
Any suggestion will help, please help me!!

There was no error in reset and factory reset because when it finishes up until the menu then it will start crashing. Does battery affect the ROM? Battery is in discharge. Airplane works like a charm. For now I use it like an Ipod touch. Wifi works, gps, all of the other stuff works except on Phone mode.
Im new I cant post screenshots

I have the same problem on Xperia T. I found that it stops reseting with baseband version last digits 57 and just loses the connection. On every other version of baseband it resets or falls in SoD.
I have the same problem in my XV..it works like a charm when it is in Airplane mode.
