Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to convert a non-installable system apk (/system/app/*.apk) into a normally installable apk file.
If there are some needed tools please provide links as this will help me very much doing what I'm planning to do after my exams.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
~J2C
Why do you need a installable files when you can flash them via recovery to get them work properly? ..just asking..

I don't know if you know but you can have installed TWRP Recovery on LB and no Root.

No you can't.
You need root.
But you can install it on a non rooted device and root it at the same time on a 534 FTF

Convert file System Apks to installable once, I think is not that simple and I hope someone know how to do that. Otherwise is simpler install recovery and flash them. Sorry to not help much more.

That's exactly what I was thinking about.
But lets get back to the topic, How to make the system apk installable? (I know that some apks in /system/app are installable, but I'm talking about the non-installable ones)

This part is not clear to me. If I installing the Recovery on non rooted device, how the recovery will root it at the same time? I will still have recovery without root.
Option 3 > installation on unrooted ROM.

Because the installation script can gain a temporary root shell
It uses that to install the dual recovery
then its as simple as flashing SuperSU.zip or a pre rooted rom to gain "Full" root.

Hi everyone,
I know my title just explained everything
but i will explain in details now here
i bought an Xperia Z1 after burning my Xperia Z because of over heating it.:angel:
anyway
all what i wanted to do is rooting my Xperia Z WITHOUT installing another firmware UNLESS there's a way to not lose my data.
i guess what i have not is a half root, i have SuperSU installed
CWM installed BUT i can't access it. i only access it by flashing it again from the PC, its like one time use only :silly:
anyway i installed supersu and rooted the device
root checker says congratulations you have root access
busybox says install was not successful try another path AND i tried another path which leaded me to the same result
the problem is
I DON'T HAVE THE WRITE PERMISSION IN THE SYSTEM!!!
HELP?!
KitKat 4.4.2 Xperia Z1 LTE - 14.3.A.0.757

Hello.
I was experiencing the same problem after rooting 14.3.A.0.757 on my Xperia Z1. I searched the forums and found that the problem is due to Sony's RIC service. Correct me if I am wrong. Updating to the latest XZDualRecovery will solve the problem.
This is what I did: (I am assuming you have a working rooted 14.3.A.0.757)
Download the latest flashable zip from NUT's XZDualRecovery thread in Cross-Device Development and flash it via recovery. You have now upgraded your recovery to the latest version. Now you can mount system partition with r/w.

LOL, but i think it might be work on any devices too
I tested in indian stock rom too in last hour
Haha. I'm afraid to root because they say that it'll broke OTA updates
So don't root your phone
Yeah but they said too that you can update manually even though your phone is rooted but i don't know how to update manually. Can you teach me?
People have tried many apps in the past, and reported that they do not work
Can you post a screenshot showing it?

No, there is no one-click root. I haven't seen anyone working on it, but it may show up eventually, or it may never. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thanks to Mikeyinid and TheJesus for providing the stock img files and flashable recovery zip. I used them more than once on my own device, and got frustrated at having to re-root it every time. To speed things up I decided to create a pre-rooted zip with busybox installed.
Feel free to use it as you see fit. If you format /system before you install this TWRP will warn you that there is no OS installed, but it's wrong, it will boot.

Flash this via TWRP, no wipe should be needed, but it can't hurt.
Forgive the stupid question, but this isn't a flashable stock ROM is it? New to LG so I'm not wanting to jack my phone up stupid.

No problem, it is flashable, almost stock. Check this thread for full stock, without busybox or root if you want to take an OTA update or something.

Almost stock? Are you saying this only because it has root and busybox? It does not overwrite recovery, correct?

yes, exactly. I'm just trying to be clear that it is not completely stock because there have been additional files added to the system image. It will not overwrite recovery, only reflash the system and boot partitions.
Will this work with tmobile variant ? and with the wifi calling working ? just curious,. thank you new to lg thats why ( software verson h90110c)

This is for the h901 which is the Tmo variant just fyi. So yeah you are good.
WiFi calling works fine. The only thing that breaks it sort off is installing xposed and that only breaks it if you don't have LTE at all. If at home you can use WiFi but it has to see LTE signal as well. If you are In. area with no LTE or if airlane mode on with just WiFi on it wont work.

You have to unlock your bootloader first by sending commands over adb after booting into fastboot then you'll have to download the twrp file and flash that over the stock recovery using adb again

first of all i like to.say thank you for helping me. second to use adb do i have to install the nexus tool kit ? i was reading somewhere thats the best way to go through ? thank you and sorry for asking such a noobie questions.

just follow this link style right ?
Here is the link to the bootloader unlock/recovery/root thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63627074
I didn't use the nexus kit, I just installed the adb and fastboot drivers manually. Instructions are in the link I pasted. When installing the drivers, install them system wide, makes it a little easier. Also, download drivers for LG G4.

Shouldn't cause harm.
But it is always good to do a clean flash
I have to say this worked, unlocked and rooted, adb fastboot all worked great,. Thank you
Would anyone be so kind as to zip up the following two folders and share the links with me?
/system/lib
/system/vendor
Many thanks in advance! :good:
