Root Rights issue. - Sony Xperia ZL

K. I rooted last night using Bin4ry method. Immediately had problems with any app requesting permission. Repeatedly was asked by super user to allow. If I switched to auto allow it would decline instead. So I tried unroot. Reboot. Same issue persists. Any ideas how to fix this?

I had an issue where it wouldn't remember my permissions, kept asking every time.
Reinstalled Superuser and it was fixed.

Way to easy a fix. I tried everything but uninstalling and reinstall through Google market. That and a reboot. Seems to have done the trick.

On mijjz goodness rom? I was getting that too. I just reboot or it keeps happening.

That was happening on my ROM and it turned out to be the beta su binaries I had put in it. Replaced them with the standard SU and Busybox binaries and it stopped.

Do you have SU notifications turned on? If so, try turning it off.
I did turn them off i also put if anything asks for permission to deny it... And it hasn't popped up yet

Ive been having that for a few days now. I thought i haf some wierd virus. Ive neen going into Super User app and checking "temp unroot" then unchecking it afyer a few seconds.
Id try scarmon's idea with the su binaries. I remember that i used superuser to update the binaries and that might have been when it started.

How would i flash the binaries if i don't have a custom recovery

Fix permissions

Why do most roms OP state to "fix permissions" directly after flashing the rom, when that does nothing... it fixes them in .3 seconds? lol.... pretty sure it's best to do it after setting the phone up the way you want. Where it takes a couple minutes and actually gives you a log of what is fixed. Just curious if I'm wrong in thinking all this jazz.

I had no idea either. But this cleared it up for me.

Probably just because it can't hurt to do one, that and if an issue arises they can be certain that it was done.

Ive wondered it myself. Never do it though. To me its there for when you run into problems with FCs and such. I assume its the devs trying to be proactive for those who dirty flash.
Ive seen it screw things up to btw.

I know what Fixing Permissions does, just why they tell their users to fix them before anything can be broken, is where my curiosity begins, if I remember right even after a dirty flash they don't wont be fixed til after a reboot...
my way of doing things
wipe data/system/cache
flash rom
boot up>let sit for 5 minutes>install through TB or recover data
boot into recovery and fix permissions, which takes a couple minutes, if I have errors.
Congratulations, no one cares.

only fix permissions if you have issues of force closes or log cats are showing files as unreadable... basically if you are having issues of some sort.
also, good idea to fix permissions from terminal while booted into android if you are using a recovery that has not been updated in a long time

Oh, I know how to run and use fix permissions. I'm just curious as to why some rom cooks give instructions that are useless.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
That's a valid question.
I think it's an instruction for crack flashers.
It levels everything out.
Especially, if you are trying to keep your data

Freeze instead of force close

********UPDATE*********
Thanks to hardcore,I found a fix in another thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843837&page=4
Using a terminal emulator or adb shell,
su
cd /data/log
chmod 444 dumpstate_*
This sets those files to read-only permissions and that seems to fix it.
Ever since Jellybean instead of apps force closing as they normally would my phone becomes unresponsive and reboots after 2-3 minutes.It gets quite annoying and I wanted to know has anyone else has been getting this issue. I have wiped dalvic/cache also factory data reset,I am unable to do anything in anycut,the phone automatically goes through freeze process,any ideas on how to fix issue?
got the issue too. Only on tw based roms tho. why i only **** wit cm10/aokp. And anycut doesnt work completely with jb yet. You have to use the anycut widget instead
Thanks for the response I guess the only way to stop the problem is not to have a tw Rom,I guess I might just have to bit the bullet on that one,im not really into flashing roms I'm only rooted for hotspot and system settings to change certain things

Could always setup the dualboot to have stock and an aosp rom
Okay I might have to look into that, thanks for the quick responses I thought I was the only one, my friends have s3 to add well and was not experiencing issue,I can see now that's for top them not having stock Rom

You could also find out what process is causing the bad behavior, what's not playing nice, and remove or freeze that app. You could also try to do a fresh install of your rom.
I was getting the same issues, but I found out that Maps social pin-point (Latitude) was causing my issues and unchecked all of the options related to check-ins and location sharing. No problems since.
When you say fresh install do you mean hard reset?if that's what you are referring to I have done that and wipes in recovery. And how exactly did you find it was that specific app doing That to your phone?

For that specific problem, it was trial and error, but a logcat would help. At the time, I couldn't figure it out. I believe there's an app to help read logcats.
Okay thanks

Cool so how exactly would the app help me if you don't mind me asking I see that it produces the fc would that help in fixing the freezing issue? And if so then how

Any update? It still happens?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Did you use the app? It seems that the app triggers a force clse popup if (im guessing here) a certain amount of time has gone by (like the OS itself does, but maybe shorter) or whenever an app goes unresponsive (it comes up instantly)
So either way, its supposed to fix the force close dialog not showing up for you.
I have our installed but I guess im still working on how to use it, I'm going to try to run it in the background

Update!!!!! Thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=336619
Thanks for the tips guys. This was also irritating me to no end on several Samsung roms. I think it happens on the Note and S3 too. Maybe even the S2.
My solution was:
Using a terminal emulator or adb shell,
su
cd /data/log
chmod 444 dumpstate_*
This sets those files to read-only permissions and that seems to fix it.

Phone reboots when

My phone reboots when I pull down the notification bar and tap new Gmail message notification. Phone is rooted and unlocked running stock zv9. Only happens with Gmail notification, all others open fine. Gmail opens when I use Gmail app, only problem is through notification bar.

Rooted & unlocked stock ZV9 here. You might want to try doing a factory reset through the menu. There very well may be an easier solution to this specific problem, but I am confident that this issue will be resolved by doing the reset.
Mine had a similar issue and many small annoying bugs after flashing ZV9 update. I finally gave in and did a factory reset. I'd say the majority of the software issues have been remedied by the reset.
Apps > Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset
Thanks. I'll give it a try later.

OK, reset last night and the reboot issue is gone. But now my wifi tether is no longer working. Put all settings back to what they were but my Nexus7 tablet won't connect now. Just goes to show you, it's always something.

Try installing SuperSU from the playstore first, then run wifi tether.
SuperSU already installed.

Browser issues.

Hi guys, I got this device today, rooted using Odin, and am currently using stock rom and kernel(4.1.2) my stock browser worked fine for the first few hours after I rooted and then seriously out of the blue it started giving me app not responding toast and closes. Any ideas what may have caused this? I deleted a few of the bloatware apps with TB but didnt delete anything having to do with the browser or data connectivity. I even left google talk alone and I always get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Try wiping cache and davlik cache in recovery and fixing permissions. That's always the first place to start.
Also, its always best to just freeze bloat. And after a bit, if all is well, then uninstall.

I tried that after I posted, still no go. I think I may just nandroid back to before it started misbehaving and see if it happens again.
Edit: im a dumb a$$. I changed my screen density to 200. Thats why its crashing. I wonder if there is something I can do to edit the apk its self so it doesn't crash because of density.
