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.

Try titanium backup or root explorer

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?

[Q] message "android is being upgraded"

good afternoon friends. I would like some information please . When I turn on every time the phone appears the message "android is being upgraded" .... is fast and starts normal, but it started appearing after I installed an app. Already uninstalled it all and it is still showing up. a problem or normal? thanks for attention and sorry my Inglês

This message appears almost every time you reboot in my experience. It's just the Dalvik-cache rebuilding and updating itself.

I researched and it was even the Dalvik-cache. is normal or do I need to do something? not appeared before. thanks

It's normal behaviour, no need to worry
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

It is normal for it to happen, but not on every reboot...I suggest clearing caches, wiping dalvik, reflashing your Rom and rebooting.
It will build the dalvik cache again, but then should not do it until you update, delete or install a system app

Crash like crazy with all ROM's | PLEASE HELP

Hello XDA Members
I'm fairly new to ROM's and all that.
I'm having major issues with my Xperia Z. I have tried installing so many Roms and spent the last 4 days trying to either find a ROM that is stable and will not crash or find out how to stop the crashing. I really need help!
I've installed:
PACMAN ROM [once]
CM 10.2.1 (stable) [about 3 times]
Cm11 [about twice]
Used Emma (Sony's flash tool) [10+ times]
Each one of those has crashed when either launching an app or doing anything even the so called stable ROM.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or you can recommend me a ROM?
My device:
Sony Xperia Z Telstra locked
Unlocked bootloader with root access and CWM Recovery.
Originally Telstra version of 4.2 but Emma upgraded me to 4.4.2

Give this a shot
wipe the device completely from recovery(Dalvik cache, cache partition, data, data internal SD,format system)
reset the battery stats
Flash AOKP and check whether there is any difference

Okay thank you, how do I reset the battery status?
Any chance that you have a link to AOKP? I've tried to find it before but all the links are dead.
Thanks

Problems with helium (non-premium)

Hi guys, I finally made the decision to root my z1,but first of all, I need to back it up. Problems are :
1. Sony pc companion backup is cr*p.
2. So I opted to using helium. Now, I got all settings up. Downloaded the pc counterpart of the app, downloaded the Android app from Google store, set up into debug mode. Helium requires my phone on PTP mode, which I do, but 1 second later, it comes back to MTP mode.
Did I miss anything? I tried downloading "drivers" from helium 's suggestions, but the one they have their is older than my SPCC.
Thanks in advance! I really look forward to rooting my device and getting it's benefits. Cheers!

Up?
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

I had the same problem, and I didn't find any solutions (I have Helium Premium). I ended up backing up my phone using Sonys software, just to be on the safe side. Rooting does not wipe your phone (at least not the method I used), but better safe than sorry. Unlocking on the other hand will wipe your phone!
After root, I installed Titanium and made all the backups I wanted. I also installed dual recovery (still without wiping the phone) and made a Nandroid bckup.

Titanium backup always work, use that in the future. It is worth the money, all others I have tried have been of no use

He's right. Move all files from internal memory to the PC and then use titanium backup. It's able to back up your entire phone including the application data. Duh. It can actually backup your entire device with system apps and it's data.
