I rooted my device (Sony Xperia Z Ultra) with the EasyRoot_Tool_V9 and got the following problem:
copy Xposed...
Mount /system writable...
mount: permission denied
/system couldnt be mounted writable
Try to continue
Whats the matter? Why cant I mount /system writable? The root checker says that the device is rooted.
Did you gave xposed root access? Check it with supersu/any other root app
Did you try the alternate methods?

Yeah, it has root access in SuperSU. Wanted to post a screenshot but cant link under 10 posts.
What are the alternate methods?
I think my root got a problem as i cant set /system to r/w even with the root explorer. But how can that be?
You can choose another installation method. Its just underneath the normal method. Try that one.

Similar problem
I have an Xperia Z1 just updated it to 4.4.4 like 2 hours ago . I updated it from 4.4.2 where i had root , xposed installed and a few modules .
After the update i had to root the device again (using towellroot) . After i did that it said that i did not have the latest version .
Uninstalled all the modules , uninstalled SuperSU and uninstalled xposed and reinstalled them all again . Now super SU cannot update binaries and i get a message in xposed when trying to install it (as in the screen shots) . Root checker says i'm rooted so i have no idea what i can do .
Any help is apreciated !
(i have posted the same message in another place before i found this - sorry for the post here but i do need some help if xda can provide it)

I have managed to fix my issue . I have flashed , in my case ,the xperia z1 4.4.4 update using flashtool erasing everything , re rooted the phone with towellroot and after that everything worked fine . SU installed just fine and Xposed installed just fine . I think something went wrong when i rooted the phone the first time after the update .
I have the same issue. I have Z1 compact with 4.4.4, rooted, but with bootloader locked.
I've granted Xposed Installer root rights with Super SU v2.01. XposedBridge.jar is active, but app_process is not.
Didn't get it working with classic nor recovery instalation method. Any idea?
Seems that my device was not completly rooted. After rooting again, it works

Hi everybody, im sorry if this is wront section for it, but i have a question!
I just got a android phone (Xperia z3 compact) and did the whole good old rooting proccess, im running the latest version of KitKat with Root + SuperSU and bootloader is still locked, with my DRM keys in tact.
I really want to install the Xposed app but i got some questions:
1. Do i have to install anything else before installing Xposed? (I heard you NEED to install BusyBox, from Play Store). If yes, what is it?
2. To install Xposed, do i have to just download its APK and run or do i have to do all that "flashing" thing on recovery?
Thank you very much.
Please help here too, I hv D6553 jp docomo version Z3, just bought it,
Needs : Xposed, preserving all DRM functions,
I checked the "available for unlock BL" is No, don't know what it's means but the shop said they hv done nothing except unlocking SIM, also it seems NFC only works using stock docomo ROM,
Thanks

1. No, BusyBox is not required for Xposed framework. Install the Xposed Installer from Play Store and follow the procedure.
2. It depends on your Android version. If you are on Lollipop (Android 5.x+), you have to flash it via custom recovery. If you are on Android 4.0.3+, then just procede as described in (1.) above.

Thank you mate.
SM-T700 UK version stock 5.0.2
1. Root using Kingroot 4.5
2. ONLY now !!! install and run Super-Sume
3. Update SuperSu binaries
That's all : you have root, SuperSu and Knox still "O" and Kingroot it's gone...
Would people please post the full build version of the firmware they have success or failure with, so others are aware of which ones work.
has this method been verified by other users?
Share your experience please!
It's brand new...
Verified by myself
Have you maintained root after reboot?
ashyx said:
Already tried it, v4.5 is posted in my kingroot thread, didn't work on lollipop for t805.
Neither did supersu me, binary always fails to update, once it did manage after several tries, but root is lost after reboot.
Supersu me is just the same script as posted in the kingroot thread. Root always lost after reboot.

Just following your thread, messing with Kingroot 4.5 (from your tread) I obtained root.
Also someone there suggesting SuperSume to remove Kingroot.
I use it and that's it
Yes the root it's permanent

Can you then install SuperSu or do you need to keep the SuperSume?
Anyone else confirm this method ?

Super_Sume make all this "work" with one click !
Ok guys, thanks for confirming, Sweet
Thanks for the tip. This worked perfectly. I installed Kingroot 4.5. When Kingroot runs scroll down and press "Try it" and it rooted. I then immediately installed Busybox from the Google Play store and ran the smart installer. After a successful install of Busybox, I then installed Super-Sume from the Play store. I ran Super-Sume and it installed Super SU and removed Kingroot. After that, I opened Super SU and allowed it to update the binary. Rebooted. I checked root with Root Checker app and checked Knox with an app called Knox Status on the Play store. Root is still active and Knox is still at "0". I powered off, then restarted again. Root has stayed.
I did this on a brand new US region SM-T700 pulled straight from the box and updated to Lolilipop from OTA.
System Version:
SM-T700
LRX22G.T700XXU1BOE3
*ROOT WORKING !! SMT-700 OTA 'lollipop'
Confirmed working on Lollipop NEE-T805XXU1BOE3 firmware.
Reflashed back to complete stock then ran Kingroot v4.5, root succeeded first time.
Ran Supersu me to remove Kingroot and install Supersu then updated the su binary.
Rebooted then checked root status. Full root access still available.
No need to install busybox as Supersu me already installs busy box.
Looks like we have a winner, no need to downgrade to Kitkat any more. :good:
Hopefully now T807/707 users can now get root.
Credits go to the devs of Kingroot, Chainfire and Supersu me.

It does not appear to work on T707a with 5.0.2.

Do you think this is likely to work for KitKat ANL1? I already downgraded as part of Ashyx's tutorial to ANF7.
My only reservation to going to Lollipop is that I want to use the Xposed framework which I think is still in it's infancy for 5.x or still not compatible.
So before this my options are to keep the original Kitkat by Flashfire - ANL1 or go directly to Lollipop. For the latter I could just get the OTA and do this method now. But not sure if I go to ANL1 kingroot will work as easily
If not I'll continue in the normal way I guess.
Once you have root with Kingroot install Super Sume and run it.
Kingroot 4.5 from ashyxs tread works for me.
Super-Sume just install busybox, SuperSu and get rid of Kingroot.
Why not use Flashfire to install whatever you want: KK or L ?
Hi everyone! Yesterday I updated my new Sony E1 phone (D2005) to the latest firmware 20.1.A.2.19 with KitKat 4.4.2, and tried to root it with Root Genius 2.2.6: it worked! I just had to install first the ADB drivers shipped with FlashTool and then used Root Genius to root the device. It was as simple as that! I'd like to know if it was just me being lucky or this procedure can be applied to every E1.
Hello Atanor7,
thank you for information. I'll try this asap.
Do you flash a new rom or upgraded from previous one?
Did you remove Genius after boot? Don't install Genius too much bloatwares?
I upgraded from stock firmware via PC Companion (the phone is brand new, purchased yesterday, 70 euros!), then used Genius to root. It's a Windows program, so you have to install nothing on your device, just the ADB drivers on your PC (I used a VM to install so bloatware wasn't an issue for me). After rooting, Genius automatically installs Kinguser to manage root permissions.

As boatware, I spoke about Kinguser, supposed to be replaced by Supersu
another question: do you kept your settings after upgrade (apps, screens, sms, calls, wifi points, bt devices, ...)?
I can't tell you about that, the phone was new so didn't have any personalization yet, the only settings I made (WiFi, couple of apps) were kept.
Do you think I should replace Kinguser with SuperSU?
Ok, after reading about how KingUser could be a "tricky" app I switched to SuperSU: the "SuperSU-me" app from the store did the job quick and flawlessly. Thank you for your advice

Install this app from the Play Store: "Super-Sume" and run it. Hit the button and... it does it all, wipes Kinguser and replaces it with SuperSU, works like a charm!
Thank you for your advice Atanor7, I think I am late for that since I tried to use Super-Sume to replace Kinguser app but it didn't work on my case.
It's good to know that it worked on yours because next time if I reflash my phone I will try to use Super-Sume again.
in my case, I went for old fashion root after unsuccessful attempts on using Super-Sume, I flashed 20.1.A.29 then flashed back the kernel and root with towelroot then flashed back 20.1.A.29 kernel after rooted.

ok works for me, super-sume didn't ended (probably because supersu was still installed), but after closing app, kinguser was uninstalled without traces

Hello Atanor7,
it's my first time that I root a smartphone (it's the same that you have), so I've no experience with what you've written. Can you please make a kind of guide, please ?? Where can I find Rootgenius and the ADB drivers ??? What is flashtool and how to use it ?? Can you link the url to download it ???
Thank you for your gentle reply.
No one can help me ??? Some one other can link me a guide how to root a Sony Xperia E1 D2005 ?? Please help me.

1. Download ADB: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itVVFWRC02Q0VBQnc/view
2. Install it.
3. Downlod Root Genius: http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
4. Enable USB Debugging.
5. Launch Root Genius and click on Root. Thats all.
This is driving me nuts... I was on 5.1.1 and I am trying to get it rooted.
I'm following a guide which goes like this..
1. downgrade to kitkat 4.4 using flashtool
2. root 4.4
3. Install custom recovery
4. Flash 5.1.1 pre-rooted zip
I have had problem after problem and I think something may have screwed up along the way.
I finally managed to get kitkat installed using flashtool and a generic C6903 .108 ftf.
Problem 1... I used 'Easy Root tool' from xda to root kitkat... but it seemed to hang at the cleaning up' stage - is this a problem?
Problem 2... every time I restart my phone - kitkat asks what language etc. Whats that all about?
PROBLEM 3. The guide Im following says to install busybox after rooting kitkat.
I've tried 2 different busybox installers and both of them fail when trying to install bb.
QUESTION: Are these 3 problems linked and will it prevent me from continuing with the guide I am trying to follow??? i.e. do I need busybox to install XZ Dual Recovery and therefore a pre-rooted zip?
Root Checker basic says kitkat is rooted, as does the first busybox installer.
I'm taking a short break from this nightmare, so in the meentime if any of you chaps could advise me on whether or not its ok to continue or if I have fecked up the whole process, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
problem 1 : re run the installer again, don't use administrator mode
problem2 : use any simcard on your phone
others, sorry i have no idea, you could download busybox from playstore ?
I would just start over and try a different root program. busybox is failing to install because the root didn't work.

Cheers bud, I'll try 'easy root tool' once more without admin priv, if its the same story I'll start over and try a different root tool. Any suggestions on that?
Also: how come root checker says I'm all good and rooted but busybox wont install? even one of the busybox installers says "Your device is rooted"!?!?
Thanks for all the help mate
i think you don't have supersu installed, and busy box couldn't get root rights
so download supersu from playstore, open it and update binaries as normal, then reboot
and you would be able to install bb

Try the suggestion made by @Gamer4Life, just in case you somehow got root but it failed to install the APK needed to manage it. Might save you some work. That would explain why everything thinks you're rooted.
As for an alternative, if you still need it, I think I used kingroot successfully on 4.4.4.

Thanks mate. I was hoping Gamer4life might be right as there was no Supersu installed.
I installed supersu from play store no problem... but when I try to update binaries it says' update failed. Please reboot and try again.'. tried reboot but same story.
I guess I'll try 'easy root tool' again and then will give kingroot a bash if needbe.
One last pre-emptive question...
If I root kitkat using kingroot... should I replace kinguser with supersu before proceeding with XZDR and a pre-rooted zip or will kinguser be sufficient to continue.
Many thanks to you and everyone else who has tried to help me with this clusterf*ck,.. I appreciate it
can you screenshot the error you got ?
i reread your op, you don't need busybox to install dual recovery, it installs like the easy root installer, very easy
just one click and you are ready to go
also xzdualrecovery will root your device and install supersu by default if you have kitkat, so you can skip that.
edit (i don't think this will work because towelroot doesn't work on z1 4.4.4 108)

must have been a glitch in the matrix mate becuase its now working (Possibly thanks to your suggestion of installing Supersu?).
I reconnected to PC in order to give 'easy root tool' another crack at it.
As soon as I start install.bat It says checking if device is rooted AND I get a superuser request on my phone for adb.shell - Happy days!
I granted root access to adb shell and the root tool says Job Done. Root success etc.
So I disconnect and try to update su binaries and it worked first go!!!
*Touch wood* I think I'm now past the tricky part and it should be plain sailing from here on in. lol
THANKS for the help Gamer4Life, and everyone else who has chipped in.... hopefully my next post will be to report a fully rooted 5.1.1 :fingers-crossed:
