Hi, I am sorry I have to open another thread but I am very desperate!
I used "One Click Root" to root my SGS and worked great!
After I installed Titanium Backup to removed some default apps. So far so good.
The problem comes when i installed Clockwork Recovery to backup my Rom before removing the apps. I followed the guide, the phone rebooted but didn't go to the new recovery screen (yes, I had the update.zip in the right place). After rebooting the Titanium Backup said I didn't have a rooted rom.
I runned "One Click Root and Unroot" many times and wiped my phone to stock. After rooting the Titanium Backup keeps telling me the same.
How can I fix this? I am afraid this is not my only problem since my phone can't connect anymore to my AP (it can't get an ip address).
Please help me!
What version of firmware, plus any custom rom packages and/or kernel mods, were you using? It's hard to help without knowing some really basic info like that.

I have stock rom JF5 with update-1. All other apps seem to see my root priviledges. But the titanium can't! And I cant find to fix My AP connection problem. Is tere a way to REALLY clean my SGS or to fix this? All I did was the steps I said before...
Maybe you need latest busybox installed. Do a search on forums for version 1.17. Also email the developer as titanium backup has has lots of problems on age for me with restores and only the 3.3. 5.2 only kinda works for me

Will do. Now i will go to bed (it's 5 a.m. in Portugal) and tomorrow i'll give you feedback. hope it works. I should have removed the apps before... now I have to endure with them still and worst with no way to remove them... Thanks for you help!

No I didn't because I could't store my stock rom. Would an upgrade to Froyo (the official one) fix this? I can't connect to any wi-fi network (can't seem to fix an IP address...).
By using a terminal emulator can I reconfigure my wi-fi configuration or IP aquisition? How could I do this?

Those were the stpes I followed the first time and it worked great. After trying Clock Recovery then Titanium stoped working. I managed to fix my WLAN problem (so so). I can use Wi-Fi if I connect with a static IP but for that i need to connect to the network first with a computer so I can get the DNS IP. It's more trouble but at least my Wi-Fi works again!
Still no go on Titanium....
Xperia Arc 2.3.3 generic ending with .368
I attempted rooting my phone and was successful in it to as verified by "root checker" app. But something went wrong henceforth. Although I have been asking for solutions to my queries in some posts, the problems are mounting day by day and now it is daunting to post each of the problems in every post. So I will just lay it down here, in anticipation that I will receive help in some way
Here is what I did:
1) I used Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit and successfully completed the root process. (I had formatted and cleared all data on the phone prior to this)
I however, didn't understand much about the ADB drivers, but did as much as I could over a span of an hour or more by getting the Android SDK and downloading random drivers etc.
2) I downloaded "Root explorer" and started copying the files under the "safe to remove" list in accordance with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
The problem starts now:
~ Market fails opens and force closes showing the following error The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly
Browsing the Market is normal, but clicking on any app to download causes the force closure.
~ I try in vain to fix the problem by transferring all the files from the "SD" card and back into the System/App folder, but to no avail.
Now I did something I would deeply regret later on.
~ I formatted my phone. I erased all data and now I do not have the root explorer anymore.
~ I tried downloading SWs from other websites but even the browser force closes at the moment I hit "Download" at any point.
Without any native file manager I am unable to install any apps.
I tried in vain searching all over the internet about the problem I am facing but couldn't come up with anything substantial. After 6 hours of scouting I gave up and somehow only managed to get my contacts up.
~ I thought flashing another FW might help. I am trying to use the latest flash tool but even that shows an error "drivers missing" or something similar. I tried installing / updating the drivers but I get the message that "latest update is already installed". I later got a "S1boot driver missing" notification in the "installing manager" in bottom right corner.
Interestingly some of the system apps I moved and then returned to their original folder, show their widgets missing. Eg: I returned the clockxxx.apk to the original folder but it is still absent in the "widgets" option.
---
---
---
Present state: My phone is without any apps. Any attempts at downloading anything using either the Market or the Browser "force closes" it.
Please help me out with this.
P.S. I am a medical student. I do not understand software development, tweaking etc even in the remotest of terms. But I am trying as much as I can. So kindly bear with me for any obvious mistakes in putting forth the information or my ignorance towards something seemingly obvious.
There are problems relating to MTP connectivity also.
The phone fails to get detected and does not show up in "My Computers". Even SE PC companion SW fails to install the phone although it attempts to connect to it.
The Mass Storage mode works normally.
-----
Also I would like to point out, as is obvious from above that "Market" was fully functional after the root allowing me to download "root checker" etc.
The problem starts after I have transferred the .apk files from the System/App folder to a folder in SD card.

Use Sony Ericsson Update Service to repair the phone i.e. Reinstall the firmware then do the root but this time use titanium backup to uninstall the apps. But make sure you use titanium's backup feature to back up all apps just incase

TB gives the best option to "Freeze" them. I would personally recommend this as it gives you the option to run your phone without whatever is frozen. Once you are confident, then remove it.

I read about the update service, but the support page for arc states that the SW is not available for arc. I know it was available for the X10 and such. Do I DL it and use it for my arc?
I am going ahead with downloading it but I would like to be sure of it this time. For once I would like to look before I leap
Yes you can use the one for x10. I know it's not available on se site for arc.

You have to install update service on your pc. Search SEUS in google
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
The main problem is that my phone fails to connect in the MTP mode. Absolutely nothing shows up, PC Companion fails to detect it, even if it does, it doesn't connect with it even after 10+ tries. I just did a reinstall but now it is stuck at the "communicating with your phone" part for the past one hour.

That would be a great help. Kindly do so.
I did google both SEUS as said above and before that was searching the SE websit after googling for Update service by SE. It didn't show up for the X10 too.
I guess I am lost.
Finally my arc is healthy and normal.
Thanks for the support. I was trying out various flashing methods, downloading MTP drivers, getting my phone recognised in the Android SDK while all that was needed was an update from the SEUS. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ds/subject/updateservice/1.349192?cc=gb&lc=en
My phone is now running> 2.3.4 build 0.42. I have however lost the root (root checker app)
I am a little apprehensive to do a root again. I might stick with the stock one for now and may try again when I am more confident.
Thanks again. Have a good day.
Simple Root again & install Rooot-explorer.
In case of problems you can always use SEUS...
good luck
Glad it worked out for you and sorry I didn't read your request for SEUS earlier, but you found it anyway

I have been using z4root for a while. Today when I pressed wireless tether I got a message. Unable to tether is your device rooted. I am using version 1.3.0 I tried reinstalling the software. That did not work. When I root my phone it says I am rooted when I press wireless tether I get serveral messages the first one says sorry but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application. I tried pressing ignore then I got message that this application will not work properly. Then I get message that says unable to start tethering is your device rooted. My software z4root says I am rooted and seems to work. Yet the wire less tether does not see that I am rooted.
Yesterday I got the update message on Android incredible. But it did not work. Got the not enough space message. I did move a lot of my apps to my sd card could this be the problem? I also have enabled acess control in wireless tether app. Also enable wifi encryption is checked? I still have version 2.2. Please help me I love using this.

Well in the developers world we call it permanent because you can restart/turn off and the device stay rooted. Unlike temporary you restart and the root is gone

Your default connection type has to "charge only" and "never ask". Also, you have to check "unknown sources" under settings>applications, and usb debuging has to be checked.
Have you installed the adb drivers on your pc?
Also htc sync can not be installed in your pc when using unrevoked.
Here is a great beginers guide to rooting and what to d after rooted.

Yes! Flash a custom Rom and Kernel and you will see a great improvement on battery life. The best kernels I have used with great battery performance are Incredikernel and Gingertiny. Do some research first then start flashing, and make sure you do a backup before flashing anything.

Does backing up rooted phone mean that I have all my downloaded apps and data on either my computer or my sd card. Is there anything else I need to back up? Right now I only have one program that I downloaded that is not from the market. All my contacts are on my gmail account?

When you back up with recovery it backs up your entire phone to the clockwork folder on your sdcard. It is highly recommended that you copy the backup folder to your pc on a regular basis just in case something goes wrong with your sd.
Ok just downloaded clockwork. Haven't really done anything else with the phone since it is rooted. Other than get wireless hotspot.
I am just learning about Roms and Flashing. What OS system would you recommend for the incredible. I installed Rom Manager. That is where I got clockwork from. Seems like an easy program. Do I need to erase anything on my phone manually before I put a new OS system on it?
Never mind just rebooted and everything is there.
Just backed up my sd card. But Now it shows empty on my phone and it says sd card needs to be mounted when I open ROM manager. How do I get my stuff back on the SD card? I just copied it to a file on my computer. I do not understand what happended to everything on the card.
PLEASE HELP
I clicked on clockwork recovery it went through the process. When I look at the clockwork file on my sd card it does not say anything about a back up there are some files in download folder is that the backup? Is there any OS that I can install that won't wipe the phone clean? And if I do wipe the phone how do I put back my stuff like ringtones etc.
There are a ton of things you can do to save battery life... Search the threads and you will find a lot of info....
Some things to start with... Turn off phone finder, use ROM toolbox to increase WiFi scan intervals, use sleep mode at night, don't use ES file explorer, etc
Lots of options

i was able to unlock it , went to HTC site ... the instructions how it needs to be done ., so all good.
then you need to load some files run them all the way till these steps and iam stuck , just about the end

and use one of the busy box installers and install busy box ...?
i dont know what busy means and where to find it., when i run the super user i dont see something or things called busy ., or to search for that ., can someone help here please
Yep its to install busybox. It allows Unix commands to be used on the phone, and also helps other rooted apps run a little easier with it.

Just download and install. Run, allow it with SU, and hit install and it does its thing, then your golden. It just needs the files stored in the phone. Occasionally you update it but only one in a great while.

First, I hope you have a custom recovery installed. Just in case you do not, I've attached one.
Second, you need to flash from RECOVERY (not download from the market) the superuser.zip file (not the app from the market). You need to place that on the root of your SD card (do not unzip it).
IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Place the recovery file in the folder where you have your adb commands. Open the command prompt from that folder, boot your phone into FASTBOOT USB (click on FASTBOOT from the bootloader) and connect it to your computer. Then type at the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>
Then hit the power button.
ONCE YOU HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Boot into your bootloader (power off the phone then hold volume down + power buttons at the same time if you are in the phone's operating system) and go to RECOVERY. Flash the superuser.zip file from your SD card, then reboot back into your phone's operating system to see if that works.
Also,
to tether, you need a ROM with the hotspot already hacked, or use the wireless tether app that I also attached.
You can place it on your SD card, then install it from your phone's operating system with any file manager like astro, which you can find from the market.
or,
you can place the app in the same folder where you have your adb commands, open the command prompt from that folder, have your phone connected to your computer, then type at the prompt
adb install wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
when i try to install the wi fi ., it says program not installed ?., is that because i cant get it rooted right .??

No.
Ok sorry, I see that app does not work with the file managers. The easiest way is to run the adb command that I posted above with the file inside the same folder as your adb files. Another way is to try this attached app with the file managers instead.
Also, how are you doing with the superuser?
No go still clear iam not doing ok., the recovery image i didnt reinstall since i can go to recovery ...the menu..etc , so i think iam set there ., i installed the efghi super user file on card and reinstalled and done .. reboot evo all ok., went to market downloaded busy box , and superuser app.
both installed , go to super user and to preferences , then su binary ,hit update all green ....
i hook up phone cable to pc charge ..disk drive ..i say tether ., then a window say you cant ...sprint you need to contact... well no go., since my old evo dont give me this message when i tether .
the app for wifi cant install it., but ill work on that when i can tether
what next ?
First off, SuperUser is running and you had some apps ask for root permissions correct?
Now are you running a custom ROM or just Stock? If its just stock, the hotspot isn't hacked so that's why your getting the contact Sprint. Try using the Wireless Tether app from Lemon and Muller.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
That should work for the hotspot in your phone if everything is rooted correctly. I've never tethered straight from my phone to my computer, but Google should help you find an app for that.
Edit: if you can't install the app, you need to download the .apk file. That's the work around since most carriers try to block these apps from being seen and downloaded typically. Shortydoggg gave you the .apk so you should be able to install that without any trouble...

Regarding the apps asking for root permission , not sure there., but it is a sprint rom , stock this phone never been worked on before.iam going to try this tether app. If it doesn't work that means iam not rooted still., no. how can I tell of busy app is hooked up right.and or the supper app , the settings....etc since everything else is done.

Try root checker basic from the market. It should tell you whether or not you are rooted.
yeah its telling me iam rooted ., but know with the wifi i was told to download its working ., but cant tether from cable or sprint wi fi ., maybe because its stock rom ., anyhow great to start its going with this ., keeps crashing but it works . thank you all
Also, you may need to check your computer's wireless network settings and delete any previous profiles that may have been saved that tried connecting to your phone. They can interfere with any new settings and prevent the wireless tether apps from connecting. You still need a custom ROM with the hotspot already hacked if you expect to use the one from Sprint.
So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Yes, it´s the cable that came with Gio. Can´t find Nokia´s cable so I could try that one. How do I check that if my phone has a custom rom that is´nt suitable or something like that. I really don´t know what that friend of my did to my phone, BUT the problem occured after his I´ll have your phone going like Räikkönen in Abu Dhabi-tuneup.
Really i think u should unroot it if u think root cause this problem.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.
Using WIN7 and XP.
LOL, one T too meny...

Yea one Superuser app is enough to get root access and now I cant even give more ideas more confused
if you still have rootacces, use a file browser and delete superuser.apk and supersu.apk in system/app

Here´s where I´m at now, SUPERuser says: su binary vlegacy (0) -rwsr sr-x root root System/bin/su. When I do update I get this: Checking installed version:Legacy(written in red), Gaining root acces: fail! (allso written in red).
SuperSU says " The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" -> "Installation failed!".
Busybox installer says my device is rooted
Root checker basic says Sorry! This device does not have proper root acces.
Got root says "Successfully located ´su´(superuser) on the device. Failed to obtain root privileges through ´su´.
Honestly, I don´t know is my phone rooted or not

may be your root access was lost, try to root the phone again.
Ya, unrooting and rooting again would work.
I had a similar problem after a factory reset.
maybe something wrong with your device. not in the OS. CMIIW

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.
Thanks for all of you´s for help :angel:

maybe its more a pc-related problem too, reinstall drivers and make sure KIES is not running(deinstall it) and try on other pc's too.
have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS

I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.
