My XT used to be fine: unlocked bootloader, rooted, could uninstall what I wanted...
But as some of you know, after flashing Sony's JB ftf, and following root methods, the SuperSU apk is installed, but doesn't work...
My phone claims to be rooted... but no system apps can be uninstalled, I have now realized that this is permanent. I have flashed CM10 and the deletion of system files still fails...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just encase you tell me to try again or that I did something wrong, I DEFINITELY did stuff how they are supposed to be done and tried many times.
Binaries are all in place and up to date (/system/xbin/su)???

Yep, checked, the permissions are also correct.
have you tried to factory reset and reroot device could be a glitch in the matrix
I noticed that I removed system apps with doom kernel and that when I flashed stock kernel the apps were still there... I thought I had this problem as well. But I removed them again using titanium and now they are gone.
One thing to note. I also rebooted my phone for the first time last night and when it rebooted I got the grey triangle thing. I left my phone overnight and now it's fine... Not sure if it's related but...

Nope did that, not working.
Doesn't even allow me to remove apps when using Doom Kernel...
Which method are you using to remove them?
Are you using titanium or removing the apks from system\app using root explorer

Uninstalling via ES File Explorer.
I also cannot delete the apks.
Then when flashing a new ROM (even after wiping everything), still no luck.

Try titanium backup or root explorer

I'll use Sony's flashtool and go back to ICS, that should fix it.
I might just have to wait for the official update, things might work for me then.
Have you tried flashing supersu and binaries in recovery? You can download it from chainfires thread

Or just use the pre rooted zip from timin8r in development section (stock, rooted and deodexed).
Also kernel is flashable trough zip so all you need is cwm to start with.

Yep, tried all of that, still didn't work. Very strange. Flashed stock ICS ftf, just gonna wait until the JB update is available on Sony Flashtool, things might work better then, for some reason.
I've heard about some system apps being not just in the system folder, but in another folder too (might have been data?) It's happened before that people delete the one in the system folder but the app pops back after a reboot... probably won't help, but always worth checking?
Click the thanks button if I helped!

I've experienced this on occasion, it's been in /data/app also and pushes back to /system/app on reboot. Both must be deleted

No, that's not the problem, it's acting as if I'm not rooted; I can't delete these system files.

I might be saying somehting you have tried here, but have you tried deleting using titanium backup?
What about trying superuser by chainsDD rather than supersu

Going to try my luck with the new kernel with recovery.
EDIT: No, still not working...
Thought about formatting all partitions and sdcards, and then flash ftf , boot, flash kernel with twrp, boot, flash superuser and/or update.zip?

hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!
I am indeed sorry to post it on Z forums but I had no other option as I was getting no support on this in ZL forums.. can anyone help pls?

Try rerooting, failing that flash your backup or start from scratch.
From me to you.
Hi guys I've just installed a recovery menu on my Xperia z1 using krapable on firmware 254.
Now I'm receiving some minor lags on my home screen which shouldn't happen at all on the z1.
Could anyone tell me how to remove the recovery menu again?
Thankss

Reflash the rom. or remove the recovery image from the system partition. Also, can you tell us which recovery you have installed as I thought that ROM already had recovery incorporated in it.
However, the recovery files will have absolutely zero effect on how the rom runs so I suggest they are not your problem.
I'm on. 290 and rooted LB, what happened my camera?.
Edit: I remove the gravitybox and then bug solved.

Did you try to switch phone off and on again? It looks like stupid software bug. If it wont work, wipe the camera's app data in settings

This apper to my gf xperia sp before the update, so we wait for 4.3 to fix it but after the update with pcc camera still didnt working, some user on facebook group told me that i need to.shutdown the flashlight but even flashlight.arent working, I already tried to restart, erase dsta and config and use another camera even I installed some camera.apk from xda of 4.1.2 but nothing work, I hope you can help me, thanks
I compared this with something on my own sp, when.i have 4.1.2 tried to.install movies.apk but from z series just compatible with 4.3 and my movies app disappear so i just wait for.the update.to fixit but after 4.3 via pcc notjing changed, so i installed a 4.3 movies apk and now.is working so i think pcc doesnt fix corrupted apps when update the phone

may be you need to flash official firmware ftf file using flashtool and check whether the problem has been fixed. looks like some apk files have gone missing from /system/app folder. flashing might help getting those files back. ( cameracommon.apk, cameraextensionpermission.apk, semccamera3D.apk, semccameraUI.apk etc.)
If flashing doesnt fix it then its surely some hardware issue and might need to take it to service center
Now I flashed but didnt camera didnt work that means is hw issue? But why if never drops
btw the dsc qx-10 can work without the native camera from the sp?

flash stock firmware again...
Its better if flash new 266 or try to flash 254 old and later 266?
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app
Doesnt matter. It resets the entire phone so the build doesnt matter. Unless the problems only occur with 266
