Hey guys i rooted my phone using the vroot option, everything went smoothly and my device gained root, The problem is how do i change from the Chinese supersu to normal supersu?
I've found guides on youtube to change it over but when i did the options my root was removed instead of changing over to normal supersu,
I have rooted my device before using flashtool by changing the kernel to an older 1 and then using doomlords method, but this time my kernel wouldn't change in my phone settings as it was saying i was still on the one i had, hence why i had to use a different method
I'm no n00b to flashing devices as I've had previous experience with other android devices,
Some help please, much appreciated
U have cwm recovery then flash supersu.zip from the supersu site. Or when not open the zip and test to install the apk over it.

Thanks for replying, I've already sorted the problem out by trying flashtool again and somehow it succeeded

Hi. I will try to give as much info as possible so bare with me.
I have a Sony Z1 C6903 on build 14.3.A.0.757 Android 4.4.2
I rooted it using a prerooted firmware method with duel recovery (I think by doomlord not 100%) which involved downgrading my firmware back to Jellybean then rooting it and then flashing the prerooted firmware ect..
The root method worked perfectly and my device is fully working, but just recently I tried installing the features for the camera from the Z2 which involves moving the apk to the system/app folder but none of the apps can mount my system as r/w, I have tried ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, Total Commander and even TWRP's built in file manager and all of which are granted root access by SuperSU but won't mount the system as r/w.
I checked with root checker and it says I'm rooted and all other root apps seem to be working fine. I also have an LG G-Pad 8.3 on kitkat rooted and a Samsung Galaxy S2 on Cyanogenmod 11 both of which can mount the file system as r/w and I've rooted a lot of other devices with no issue.
One thing that doesn't make a lot of sense is that none of the apps can mount system as r/w on my Z1 yet if I tell SuperSU to install itself to the system from its own menu it works with no problem.
I just need a solution to this issue and would rather not reroot it again as the root method for this device is a pita, it's also worth mentioning that I can't unlock the bootloader on my device to root it that way as my phone has "Unlock Bootloader Allowed:" set to No.
Thanks.

I'm not sure but it sounds like you're using an older version of recovery that didn't allow full root.
Try flashing the latest version of NUT's XZDualRecovery (Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123):

Just upgraded the recovery. All went well but still having the same issue

@dan-youd
You can try this:
Download this UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip from chainfire, copy the zip on your phone reboot into recovery and flash it.
Just tried it now. TWRP wouldn't flash it because it wouldn't mount the system but CWM flashed it no problem. Got back into the OS and still same problem

You couldn't find anything helpful in forums? weird
Use Easy root toolkit or gifroot ( its new and I have not tested it ) . Also, you need to download latest SuperSU from chainfire site and put it on sd card
Flash 230 kernel using flashtool
Root using above mentioned methods.
Install recovery. example, NUT's dual recovery latest 2.8.2. You need to download installer zip and not the flashable zip.
After installing the recovery, check the phone reboots into philz touch recovery.
Chose to install zip and select SuperSU 2.XX zip file. Flash the zip
Reboot the phone and check root access.
Flash 283 kernel using flashtool
easy tool rootkit?
I tried this too but im stuck on deamom started successfully. I tried reinstall and instakl abd fastboot driver. And i cant use any recovery tool it ask for root.
touch recovery
And how to boot into touch recovery. As im using easy root toolkit on. 283 kernal should i have to flask. 230 kernal then easy root toolkit will work? I mean are u sure it wontbstuck on deamon started successfully.? Btw i already habe superuser as my system app i cant uninstall it, but it not updating or giving any app access.
And one more thing my wifi dontbturn on when i flash. 230 kernal ftf file.

Just follow the steps I mentioned.
You can not directly root 283. You will have to flash 230 kernel.
Then Root > Install recovery > at the end of installation of recovery phone will automatically boot into recovery mode.
Then flash latest SuperSU 2.40 zip from recovery menu.
after that check root access with root checker app. Then flash the 283 kernel
kernel device not supported
K after flash I try to root but it say ur kernel device not supported. Also my wifi not work when I flash. 230 so how to I install recovery.
And when I use one click root toolkit it stuck on season started successfully, and on giefroot deacon started but after few process it say kernel devices not supported.

May be you are doing something wrong because I have mentioned the steps which I used multiple times.
Check USB debugging is enabled in settings > developer options. and Unknown Sources enabled in settings >security
when easy root tool is started, you will see a prompt on phone. keep eye on that because disappears quickly.
thanx i rooted
Bro, thanx a lot i rooted my phone now, mistake was one click root toolkit or geofroot not work. After flash i root with towelroot and then update super su i didnt do any recovery reboot. Just grant access in flashtool.
Again thanx.

u have to replace the provided su of kingroot into chainfire's SuperSU.
And how can this be done?

flash SuperSU from recovery, it should delete kingroot and install SuperSU on it and then restart, open the app and then update binary normal way.

for your Z1 use Nut's dual recovery, its the best and easy to install and there is lots of instructions available ! you can get the package from nut's website, (http://nut.xperia-files.com/ click XZDualRecovery -> 2.8.20 -> take Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.20-RELEASE.installer.zip NOT flashable and download it...
installing SuperSU delete the one you have, you need flashable version wich can be located here https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
then just put it to your sd card and reboot to recovery, from recovery select install zip from sd card, select that supersu file you just put in there and install it, then just reboot and done.
Thank u soo much Migidid bro.....I followed the said procedure and successfully installed dual recivery and supersu, Thanks alot once again, i wanna donate..............love andorid...love sony
Just press thanks button and we're cool

Download Rashr from playstore. Download recovery.img. Flash it through Rash and good to go.
Of course you have to be rooted. Search for towel root method.

This tutorial has nothing to da with Rashr. This is a zip you pull via ADB at a PC.
If I remember right, you can chose a recovery inside Rashr and let Rashr download and install it.

Hello
How can I root the G800F with the new firmware(G800FXXU1AOE3)?
Thanks in advance.
You cant root the AOE3, you have to go back to ANL1, if you want root. The Chainfire root file didnt work with AOE3.
Gesendet von meinem SM-G800F mit Tapatalk
Sure it works . I had AOE3 rusian rom rooted with CF .
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/47429/G800FXXU1AOE3_G800FSER1AOE3_SER/
You're right, are read today in german forum a user sucessfully root AOE3 with Chainfire.... and a other user not. I don't no......
Gesendet von meinem SM-G800F mit Tapatalk
Well , I didn't have any info at that moment that is not possible to root AOE3 . I simply downloaded that rom , being the first I found with AOE3 and I rooted it . It worked . Don't know about other roms with AOE3 .
Ok I did a self test today, with the open german G800FXXU1AOE3_G800FDBT1AOC1_G800FXXU1AOE3, No issues with Chainfire´s CF-Auto-Root :good:
Just as a side note, the reason the Chainfire root packages are labelled by ROM is because they replace the recovery, then after rooting replace it with a stock one. The stock one contained is the recovery from the respective ROM. If you're not running a custom recovery, it is highly recommended you extract the recovery image from the odin flashable and reflash it yourself.
Here is a how to (Tool), to convert your extracted recovery.img file to a odin flashable recovery.tar.md5
