Not really a device specific question but still. - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I don't know where to post this so please forgive me if this is the wrong section.
I am trying to use a script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359182 to turn on ram swap via swapfile but I am getting some errors. I have attached screenshots of those errors.
By doing some research i have found out that my busybox version does not support some functions essential for the script to work.I have also attached a screenshot that enlists those functions.
Long story short, I want to know which version of busybox does support the functions that I need.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The last version should do the trick

Thats the problem.I've got the latest one.

And does your device support it? (Dunno what your device it actually?)
Also you could try to use a lower version. I believe there are some older versions here on XDA-Devs

I've got the SP (C5303).
But the problem is not device specific.
and yes I have checked for compatibility and it is indeed supported.

[Q] How to gain root access and possibly some sort of method to unlocking 4.3

Hey guys, so I need help in gaining root access on my phone.
I followed this guys guide to getting to rooting ( under 10 posts, but yeah I followed a youtuber by the name of Qbking77 ), and it was good!,,, Until I used 2 root checkers and they said I don't actually have root access!
Right now I have twrp installed, an unlocked bootloader, and a phone sim locked to sprint and my main goal is to unlock it for a canadian carrier and root it to run custom roms.
I'm even willing to fork out some coffee money if someone can help me out here!
Feel free to ask me questions if you need to know more about my phone, and thanks in advance guys !

Open your app drawer and find the supersu/superuser app and select it to open the app

[Q] How to root my version of the s3 mini?

Hi i think the threads in general is becoming way more a jungle to me than actually help
So I'm trying to find out which file or exploit i can use to get my phone rooted.
My model:
GT-I8190N
Base Band:
I8190NXXAMG1
And its European / Scandinavia version of the phone.
Any that have been in same boat that can guide me in right direction? or people that actually have the files to get it rooted for my exact model & version?
Thanks guys.
Try here. If doesn't work search better & it doesn't seems a jungle, don't be lazy.

Thanks for the quick answer and the quick judgement as well i assume, i already tried that trick and it did not work for me, perhaps i did something wrong but 2 times in a row and failed each i moved on with my search, iv tried for months to get it open ever since there was this tool on the forum where you could donate so he could add newer versions for support in his tool, now i cant really remember what name or the tool of it but, he suddenly became inactive or something. I guess I'm just stock on this ****ty rom, might as well just trash it and buy another phone.

The first post yes, but not all 51 pages. I mentioned the alternative download link, as the one attached in the thread didn't work for me and the main site contains an updated version
It's done what I needed it for (allowed me to delete bloatware and freeze OS updates), so I am happy. I only mentioned my success, plus posted proof as others in this thread hadn't had success and thought it may help others.

Nope, you still didn't pay any attention to either the whole point of this thread or the actual link in the first post.
I already posted a link to the Official xda thread with the latest ENGLISH version which is 4.1 and what the link in the first post points to.

Yeah i perfectly understood that. The software I downloaded directly from their site was in English (as you can see from the image) and that's the only bit of software I needed to gain root and do what I needed to do. Yes there is another app installed as well that is in Chinese, but as that is only for conserving battery power, I didn't use it anyway.

I see we're going to go round in circles with this, so I'll leave it there.
I think it is best. I'm happy with the result I got and was just advising others who were unsuccessful that there was another option, as the one linked in that thread didn't work on my Tab S, but the different version on their site did. I didn't expect a whole discussion as to whether or not I could understand the English language or basic instructions.
ROOTING FAILED
I tried the android and the pc version on my T800 10.5" running kitkat v4.4.2 never flashed or rooted before, the pc version detected my T800, but the rooting failed, the same as the android version.
So it was a big waste of time for me.

Did it give up right away saying no strategy or fail after trying? If it gave up without trying, just try again later.

Kingroot relies on cloud to find root solution. Giving up right away means connection is not properly established. Make sure your WiFi is on, and not restricted(e.g. company network), then try again.

If you try to many times it blocks any more tries with that version. Whatever version you're using try another version. If it's 4.1 use v4 then try 4.1 again if that doesn't work.

MIUI Global ROM for Oneplus 3T?

Hello,
I am new to this forum and got my OP3t updated with Chinese version of MIUI with help of this forum. but i don't like it. i like MIUI the most in androids.
is there any chances of availability of MIUI global ROM sooner?
What other OS do you suggest i should try for simplicity and best performance?

When it will be outdated?

This is something weird. MIUI ROM is available for outdated mobiles and not keeping it self with latest models? It's very good chance for MIUI to take over the legacy system of Android with new flavour as i found most people loving it. I hope they will lunch soon before the OP3T model also become outdated and i change it with something else..

Yeah, you are right..
I actually have been looking at the possibility of porting the Global myself.
The closest phone that matches OP3T specs is the Mi 5s Plus.. so porting it should be fairly easy for Rom developers.

Hi. Did you do a port or did you build from stock ROM?
I have a oneplus 3t and i have worked on miui patchrom in the past with another device and couldn't get it to boot.
I may try and attempt porting for oneplus 3t, i guess the options are to either port from Mi 5s Plus ROM or use patchrom from stock Oneplus rom.
I didn't use patch rom. I tried to port it following someone's instructions but I couldn't figure out why it keep failing.

I did have a flushable build but I think my updater script was what was causing the problem. I needed the phone to be working at all times so I had to leave the project unfinished.

Hey bud , unfortunately if you have oreo u cannot update. There are many apps you can try yourself like kingroot. But there is not possivle way of rooting it unless u get into hacking your phone , then i recommend going by this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/help/starting-scratch-t3837452
Other than that i there is no way to root,at least not yet.

If you have an H872, then all you have to do is follow this. Read it several times to make sure you understand, and Google videos if needed to make sure you understand. @pena020563 gave you the answer you need, albeit in a cryptic manner - his link will eventually take you to the link I supplied above. And I don't know why he even mentioned Kingroot. The method I am linking you to is, as far as I know, the only way to root an H872. Don't bother with anything else.
Had you looked just a little harder, you know...scrolled down a quarter of the page, you would have found the link I gave you all on your own.
Good luck!

they claim support g6, but no one ever proof it. The last time kingroot is really useful is when Android Lollipop era after Marshmallow they don't have good exploits to install root in system. Many has been patched.

what's your problem with this xda guide? I think it's simple enough but you have to carefully understand what you have to do (just read carefully). If you don't want to leave windows you can use virtual machine (which I believe is more complicated to setup and need more PC resources).

You're the 3rd person to link to that guide. The OP is lazy.
