[Q] [HELP!] I can't put scripts in init.d folder

I cant put scripts in init.d folder, it keeps on saying cant copy or move file.
and i also cant flash .zip files, there's an error showing "installation aborted"
ill press thanks for those who'll help me.
Mount as read/write. If you're using Root Explorer, there's a small button on the top right. Make sure its r/w and NOT r/o.
And you cant just flash any zip file, it has to be a flashable zip containing updater script and stuff.

You dont have init.d folder in stock ROM! You gotta flash an init.d supported custom ROM.

Im on Repencis but I'd suggest Creeds v2.0 cuz it really stable and bug free. It looks pretty too. Since you are on stock ROM and kernel, pasting scripts in init.d is useless. It WONT work. Flash a custom ROM.

how do i flash without cwm?
you don't flash stock firmware with CWM any way.
Suggest you read some of the threads here.
You will need flashtool and the stock ftf file for r800x , or you could use Sony ericsson suite thingy.

[XMS] [MANY FIRMWARES] Deodex & SUPERUSERMOD

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for you bricking your phone, applications stopping working on you phone or data wipes what may happen during the installs of these files. You are installing them at your own risk. Please make backups of the original files as I won't supply you with them.
Hi, I've deodexed the /system partition to the most recent update (at the time of writing), 15.4.A.1.9, of the Sony Xperia M SINGLE SIM.
The files have been taken from the C1904 ftf, but will work perfectly fine on the C1905 too. The deodexed files come in a neat .zip for if you have an unlocked bootloader, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader please refer to this guide on how to push the files to your device.
I have also modified the services.jar file to enable SUPERUSERMOD, just push the new file to your device and enjoy. You also need to be deodexed to use SUPERUSERMOD.
I will keep this thread updated if any new firmwares get released. Just check back after about a day and I should have them up for you.
15.4.A.0.23 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.4.A.1.9 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.4.A.1.10 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
I never actually stated how I made these files, for the deodexed files I used the Kamome tool (thanks for your tool @AndroPlus) and for the SUPERUSERMOD I followed the guide by @DavidMKD.
Thanks buddy!!!

yeah sure, i have a hardlocked bootloader so i just pushed the services.jar file through adb but after i reboot i LOSE the ability to edit system files or mount/edit permissions using any root explorer.
ive fully deodexed following the guide using adb also.
im thinkin i should just deodex and leave out the superusermod as i actually have access to system files then

Do you still have the superSU (or superuser) app installed? If so, can you connect to the computer and run the adb shell command followed by the SU command?

erm it seems to be working now... i have no idea why i had the problem, but ive just reflashed the latest firmware rooted, su-ed, busyboxed, fixed root, deodexed and then done the mod and it all seems to be working fine now
my phone has been an absolute nightmare though to be honest, problem after problem - locked bootloaders are a nightmare
Works as a charm
Gamer649, I flashed the zip and my phone is deoxed now
Thank you for your kindness bro :highfive::highfive:

If you had referred to the OP you would have found that the deodexed .zip can be flashed in CWM whereas the SUPERUSERMOD has to be pushed manually.

Inside of the .zip there is a services.jar file. This file is the untouched version without SUPERUSERMOD enabled. The SUPERUSERMOD I have created is not in a .zip format and you will have to push it/copy it to your device manually.
Are you sure this zip for 15.4.A.1.9? im applying this patch and Sony PCC saying 15.4.A.0.23. Why? Anyone had this problem?
Hey, possible of you could make a whole system flashable from ftf? I don't have a computer to flash ftf much appreciated if you did

Yes, definitely for the 15.4.A.1.9 firmware. I downloaded the aforementioned firmware for the sole purpose of making these mods. I can only assume it is something in your build.prop why it is displaying like that. Try copying the original build.prop to your phone, setting the correct permissions and then rebooting.

Hi ...
Sorry for my english, but I'm Polish and I write using a translator.
I have a small problem: After replacing the services.jar file, grabbed my phone bootloop ... I tried different files - all the same ... What am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately this is common, have you tried pulling the battery and then restarting once it is put back in? Also, have you deodexed (or at least deleted the odex file to services.jar)? This is required, I suggest deodexing first and then replace the services.jar file.
Polish translation (used Google translate so forgive if it is inaccurate):
Niestety jest to powszechne, czy próbowałeś wyciągając baterię, a następnie ponowne uruchomienie po jego umieścić z powrotem w? Również, czy deodexed (lub przynajmniej usunięte pliki ODEX do services.jar)? Jest to konieczne, proponuję deodexing a potem zastąpić plik services.jar.
Próbowałem cały czas... Pełen root + deodex... Chciałem dodać sobie wygląd z Z2, jednak wersja, która działa (i nie potrzebuje superuser), jest niekompatybilna z Gravitybox... A do reszty potrzebuje superuser mod...
I tried all the time ... Full root + deodex ... I wanted to add the look of Z2, but the version that works (and does not need superuser), is incompatible with Gravitybox ... And the rest needs superuser mod ...

[Q] Memory Swapping Problem!!

Guys, I am Using C1904 with Locked Bootloader, Full Rooted and BusyBox installed.
I have got the Init.d support and have completed all the steps as mentioned in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711280
But when i copy that "11extsd2internalsd" file with all ticks permission, with Root Explorer and then i restart the phone, but my phone stucks in BootLoop. There is also Meta Inf file, do i have to do something with that? I cant extract the zip with recovery as i have my BootLoader Locked, and they have mentioned a method for locked one too. Then why I am suffering from BootLoop?
