[Q] Too many symbolic links generated - rooting

Hi
So i have the Xperia Z and went about rooting it as i've always done with all my devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
Followed the usual as always kindly provided by DoomLord.
It "kinda" worked, it never asked for permissions for SuperUser so anything requiring root access took a while then timed out and failed. So, i installed SuperUser from the android market and it worked well, for a few installs like themes etc. Root Checker was happy it had root access, ES Explorer happily let me overwrite default themes with root access. Then ES Explorer crashed, the root checker said i no longer had root access and problems arose.
Im no longer rooted for some reason but i can no longer re-root.
I get the error "Too many symbolic links encountered" when trying to write the system/bin SU file. I can't do it manually and i cant do it with the flash tools.
Here is the rooting tool log:
Main point
"/system/bin/su: cannot open for write: Too many symbolic links encountered
Unable to chown /system/bin/su: Too many symbolic links encountered
Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: Too many symbolic links encountered"
Anyone able to help ?
Thanks
Adam

Try repairing with pc companion, and start over.

^ yup what he said, or better yet use Sony Update Service.
Make sure you understand doomlord's procedure before proceeding, missing one step may be the cause of it.

Damn, the thought of having to redo all my apps and stuff is daunting. I dont trust the standard backup software (non-root) to be able to set my phone up back how it was, well i know it wont
I do understand the steps, i had root access for a while, but like others on the rooting thread, i didn't get superuser asking to set any permissions and it never would, until i uninstalled it from Apps, redownloaded it from the market and updated the binaries. Then i had root access for a few installs using CWM. I'm not sure how it lost it to be honest.
I'll do the restore and see how it goes the second time.

Follow this (thats what i did and i never had problems)
1) back up your files (like app backups ex. 3g watch dog, sms backup, whatsapp etc..., not full backups with CWM or the original sony back up, start fresh.
2) repair it with Sony update service
3) after repairing and logging into phone, wipe user data under settings > backups and restore (this procedure will remove all your internal files)
4) after doing all that, head to settings > developer tools and check the USB plug thingy, then head over to security and check the allow other apps to install thingy, then root it with doomlord thread's root
5) after rooting is done, you should now have superuser (SU1). go to play store and download superSU (SU2) <----(the chainfire one)
6) launch the superuser (SU1) (that it came with, the first one) and set up the app, then exit and head over to the (SU2) chainfire, SU(1) will ask you do you want to let SU(2) grant access to your files, click yes or grant.
7) go to settings > apps > and remove the superuser (SU1).
8) install CWM if you need.
stick with the chainfire (SU2) and it should be okay. Dont uninstall it.
for me i havent had any problems with this, so hopefully it will work for you as well.

Uh oh i have a huge problem now. I did the Sony Update Service, I got "The Update was Unsuccessful " ... try again blah blah but my phone now wont boot. Grrrr... When turning on it vibrates, comes up with "Sony" and then goes off again.
I'm trying the SUS again but im not hopeful. Argh. Looks like i'll be taking a trip to a Sony shop. I hope they can't tell i messed around with the software and refuse to honour the warranty

Oh phew, the 4th time i did the SUS it managed to complete. Scary

OK root seems to have stuck well this time.
Thanks for your help

I did pretty much the same, but didn't use SuperSU, but Koush's Superuser.

"/system/bin/su: cannot open for write: Too many symbolic links encountered
Unable to chown /system/bin/su: Too many symbolic links encountered
Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: Too many symbolic links encountered"
I think you already have the symbolic link on /system/xbin/su
For me the su root file is in xbin folder!
check if you have a su file in the xbin folder.

[Q] need help with rooting

I have an Xperia T its says that the boot loader can't be unlocked but is there still a way to root the phone to put superuser on it.
Its my first android and any help will be appreciated and please direct me to where i need to be.
the build number for the phone its 9.1.A.1.145

Yes, rooting is possible without unlocking the bootloader. Please read the All-in-One thread, all the information is in there. Then, use Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit to root.

Have you enabled unknown sources in security?

yes and it didn't work so is there any other root loaders that work on mac as i don't like using my little sisters laptop

hahaha
You never said it was mac
Try a Linux machine, or windows 7

i was on a windows laptop and its not very good and i was asking if there was any mac versions of the root loaders

again,
try linux

i haven't got a linux machine only a windows 8 laptop and an iMac so is there any .sh that will work on mac

Can confirm that option 2 no longer works from the .145 firmware. I need to go back to stock and restore my backup TA to send the phone back for warranty repair. I start the display service test as instructed and nothing happens. I'm on windows 7.

I have the same problem even though I have been rooted before. Haven't found a solution yet.

Use mtp (media transfer mode) instead of msc. I had this problem and I fixed it with this method

The solution I found was just to flash a .303 ftf and root it from that. Rooting becomes very easy.

A newbie help please...

Why don't you just sync everything with EverNote and Google? I came from an iPhone before getting my Z1 and 2 minutes after switching it ON, it just had my contacts already. Was really amazed. If this works from iOS to stock ROM, no wonder it will work from stock ROM to RomAur.
If you can't get such feature (I doubt a lot that you can't, developers here do such an awesome job) in your custom ROM, just forget it?

I suppose is even impossible to update from stock to custom and keep all data. To do that you have make a full wipe to do a fresh install and do not have problems.

Of course its possible...
Backup contacts to google and then restore, backup messages using sms backup and restore afterwards and backup notes using any backup app and restore afterwards...
Or am I missing something here...

As strange as it sounds, I really dont want to have my contacts sync to my google account. It was ok when it was in iCloud (I came from iPhone as well) as it was separate from my normal google email and calendar.

Yes from what I read a full wipe is required, hence I thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone have/can do it. All good guess I will do what Vanarian suggest but I will create dummy account to sync my contacts first.
Thanks for the reply guys and have a merry merry xmas!

Why dummy account anyway? The same account to backup your contact you will use to access to Play Store for apps so no reason to do not do that.

If you are really concerned just use PC Companion Xperia Transfer or backup and restore option, this way you can restore a lot of your settings as well

I should mentioned that I am trying to upgrade to RomAur v4.1 AROMA LB C6903 jb4.3, I was on .257 with no root so had to downgrade to 534 to get root, so I can backup my TA. so did deviate from the install instruction on RomAur's post.

Possibly, you didn't mention turning on usb debugging. Double check that because I also do not see that in your log capture

[Q] Error while trying to root Xperia TL

Well, I've been trying to root my Xperia TL (LT30at) to delete some bloatware and to install a recovery, for later change the ROM.
The problem here is that while I try to root with the bin4ry file, it always says to me there is no Backup & Restore app (which is true) and just waits for me to open the fake backup, which never shows up.
The most similar thing here the AT&T My Locker, which I cannot use because I'm from outside the US and in my country there is no such thing as AT&T.
By the other way I try to use the NUT's Dual Recovery (XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer). It always tells me it was successful, but when I try to go to the recovery, It only turns on normally (obviously I always stay pressing the Volume Up button even after he shows me the AT&T logo).
So then, what should I do?
If anyone can help me I will be eternally grateful.

You need to be rooted before installing CWM. Did you try Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit?

Mad Marty is right, you have to be rooted before installing CWM.
You can find Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit here: http://d-h.st/1Gp
Keep in mind that it works only with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 firmwares (so I guess you're OK) and remember to turn on USB debugging in developer option before rooting.

You can do nothing with this tool, since it seems your device isn't supported.
I think this tutorial will help you a lot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2695394

That thread you linked to implies that the phone is already rooted; OP is trying to root.
@Darkanimus: You might want to check out this method, which seems to work for the LT30at.

I have a little more advance:
Now I have the backup & restore app and the Bin4ry's shell detects it (using the v18 and the v33). But when I'm going to "restore" the rootme file, when the confirmation screen appears, the app crashes and I still can navigate through the phone. When I go to the home screen, it shows an advice saying that Backu & Restore just crashed. What should I do?

If it doesn't work, I suppose that he can flash JB .141 of xperia T excluding baseband (to keep LTE band) and root that

OTA update will most probably unroot the phone.
you can use SU pro to retain the root after OTA update.

did an OTA upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2, root access is retained but i plan to make another OTA update to 4.3 but will get the SU Pro prior to the upgrade just to be more sure.

I have had bad experiences with updating over the air, I find it much better to flash a Rom with flashtool and re-root if you flash stock...
Good luck!!

The upgrade seems to have a lot of issues
1. My calculator has been changed from the initial scientific calculator to a regular calculator with no special functions
2. The developer option in setting is missing
3. The screenshot option in power is also missing
4. The display is hazzy (seems to be vibrating at to areas of the screen)
5. NFC seems not to be working and no NFC or BEAM in sending option list
6. Camera delays when coming on more than before
I have also done an OTA upgrade to 4.3 but still the same maybe camera is slightly faster but not as on 4.1

The calculator is normal, a more featured one can be downloaded from elsewhere
Go to setting/about phone and tap on build number about 10 times. This will enable developer options..
Why not install a custom rom and see if that fixes any of your problems,,,I am using this one with no bother at all..its awesome...

Take screenshot is present in power menu..
There are no `hazy` areas on the screen..
NFC works, with my bluetooth headset anyways, but be aware that there is no icon in notifications..its a KitKat thing..
I dont use the stock camera, prefer to use lenovo camera, so unable to comment..
Best advise I can offer is to give the rom a try, try some others roms, there a loads of great ones, and see which one suits your needs..
Back up your data etc.. before you flash, I`m sure you know this anyways...
Good Luck!!

please can you give a procedure for the backup i am not excellent at these, i can't seem to find the link to the custom ROM
