[Q] Can i use "Root Explorer" instead "Flash via CWM"

Flashing new ROM use CWM!
But some update (~ 3-4MB), can i use Root Explorer to copy and replace old file (in "app", "system => lib",...)?
Hate flash must wipe all!
Is replace file is safer than flash ? (flash not wipe cause bootlop)!

Yeah you can do it via root explorer but, why u told flash cause bootloop?? if u flash a Rom u MUST wipe data.. but if it's only a patch (like beats audio) you don't

What do the root explorer show is ROM or internal memory?

No need to wipe always.. if the update is small, just flash it without wipe. You can also wipe cache if needed.

What different between ROM and internal memory?

Rom: system rom like folders system, bin etc..
Internal: your apps data that are stored in internal memory of phone

suppose you are copying some files and there are some critical file being replaced and while copying mobile restart and copying was not done then there are chance of bootloop
in some update packages permission commands are written which cannot be done by just copying (an example of this is while updating su binary with superuser app it shows the progress, in somewhere there it is written that changing permission of file, and if you do not do this and just copy the su binary to /system/xbin you will loose your root access
odexed app cannot be installed just by copying they need to be flashed
so flashing is better than copying

always use cwm that is safer than copyng and replacing files or folders

yea i did but the same :|

well,
I am sure you can restore the backup you made before flashing something new..
In the mean time, which FW of the SemCamerisUI do you need, you can always download a FTF and extract it from that..by now you will have had it...

If you're looking for that APK, try downloading [NUT]'s .108 flashable zip file from here. In this zip file there is a file called "system.tgz", extract it, then in "system.tgz" there is a file called "system.tar". Extract the "system.tar" file and you'll see the folder structure of your "/system" partition, including the "priv-app" folder which contains the APK you're looking for. Bare in mind that this APK is odexed, so you'll have to copy the .odex file as well.
If you need the de-odexed version of said APK, download the de-odex package instead and grab the APK from there.

thanks guys , fixed

Need Conservations.apk and odex

Hello everyone!
Recently I rooted my phone and begun to tweak it. So I decided to integrate all updated system app to system partition . After that the camera wasnt working so I restored a nandroid backup. Everything was good until I tried to open the SMS app. It crashed imidiately. I wiped its data, cache and dalvik but it didn't work. Then using root explorer I navigated to priv - apps and see if was anything wrong with the permisions. Everything was ok so i decided to delete the odex File and reboot. But after the reboot the SMS app was missing although the APK was still there. I am on stock kitkat locked bootloader. Any help please?

Delete .odex files without deodex? You need to deodex first, also some apps need libs... You need to extract it from apk and copy to "system/lib"

System Update 23.4.A.1.264 - how to install on rooted with locked BL, System?

Hey there,
as the title say, I'm on 23.4.A.1.232 with SuperSu root and locked BL.
Today i got the message for a new system update -> 23.4.A.1.264
When i try to load an install it, i get a message "Xperia system Update couldn't be verified".
Does someone know how i can install it, without unroot. Or can someone send me the "update" files?
Thanks in advance
Edit: i think i maybe found the file, but i don't know how to open or convert...
The file is inside the zip and is called "update_package.update_package"

If you have Dualrecovery, download ftf file by Xperiafirm, convert it to zip with PRFCreator, of course adding supersu and dual recovery in zips

yeah, i want to avoid a new system install... I want to convert that update_package to a zip

If you will make this new zip and you will not wipe data in recovery, it will update all without loosing data. It could uninstall apps which you have made as system apps and delete all mods in system partition.

Already installed .264 but i still wanna know how to get that data from the crappy update_package.update_package... :silly:
Any ideas?

Check for odex files in system/app or priv-app or framework. If they are not there then ur system is deodexed.
