[Q] Help with TWRP - Sony Xperia ZL

Hi, I recently just installed TWRP and followed all the steps by Unlocking the bootloader and that tampered thing and putting the SuperSu in the internal storage. After doing all that I go onto TWRP and press the install button and select "supersu" and there is nothing saying "swipe to install" or anything like that. So I exit my TWRP and it says are you sure want to exit before rooting your device with supersu. It says install now or don't install so I press install and it reboots my phone and nothings happends. HELP ASAP! Thanks, David

[q] !!!!!black screen when enter in recovery mode!!!!!

Hey guys,
I have a problem, my phone was LOCKED and i UNLOCKED him with some help from your and with HTCDEV.COM. Everythings good, my WFS is nou UNLOCKED, but i unlocked him to root him.
First i started with flash the recovery clockworld 5.0.2.8.
Before this , i put the root file on SD-card to enter in recovery CWM to instal it, but the problem is when i want to enter in RECOVERY mode from HBOOT, SCREEN REMAIN BLACK AND NAVIGATE KEY ARE LIGHTENING!!!.
I tried a lot of method and same things happen'!!!! Probably something missing but i don't know what because all the method's i applied, i respect 100% all the "walk"...
Android 2.3.5
Software version 2.26.401.3
HBOOT 1.09.0099
Please give me some help person who know more about thins problem!!!
flashing the recovery is not properly done i guess .
i prefer you to follow the below steps
Step 1: Flashing the Custom Recovery UI by XDA.cn
Again, make sure your device is S-OFF.
Again, make sure your memory card is formatted FAT32.
Place the PG76IMG.zip file into your phone SD card.
Disable Fast Boot from your phone settings (Settings > Power > Disable Fastboot)
Turn your phone off.
Hold down the "power" button and the "volume down" button for a few seconds till you see the HBOOT screen.
Don't press anything. The system will scan for some files and it will prompt you for an update. Move the cursor to OK (volume up) to start the flashing process.
After it finishes, press the "power" button to restart the system.
Let Android boot and delete the PG76IMG.zip file from your SD card via USB.
Congrats! Custom recovery has been installed. Process to step 2.
Step 2: Flashing the rooting script by XDA.cn
Copy the root.zip file into your phone SD card.
Turn your phone off.
Boot into recovery: Hold down the "power" button and the "volume down" button for a few seconds till you see the HBOOT screen. Let it do its thing and then select "RECOVERY".
At the recovery menu, use the volume buttons to select "install zip from sd card".
Then select "choose zip from sd card".
Then find the "root.zip" file on the list.
Select "YES".
Let the script do its thing till you see "Install from sd card completed".
Select "Go Back" on the menu till you find the "power off" option and select it.
Turn your phone back on and let Android boot
you can use the custom recovery PG76IMG.img or else clockworkmod recovery from
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
cwm recovery have more options ,so i prefer you to use that .
you can find those FILES in the source which i have specified.

[Q] cant install root file from internal storage?

Hey guys im trying to root my device so i can install some lightweight custom roms. Ive been following this guide i found online
http://androidcritics.com/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-galaxy-s3-i747/
I basically did this
Installing Clockwork Recovery Mod
Find the recovery image file which is clockworkmod.tar
On your Samsung Galaxy S3 I747, press and hold down the volume down, power, and home buttons
Once your at the warning screen, press volume up to accept
Launch the Odin program from your computer
In Odin, find the PDA tab and click it
Find the clockworkmod.tar.md5 file in the unzipped recovery image file
Press start to begin flashing the recovery mod
BE PATIENT! and wait until your device reboots
Once your device has fully rebooted, you can start installing root
It loaded on the phone fine. I then did this
Installing Root
Transfer the root.zip file onto your phone from your computer
Make sure you connect your s3 to your computer and find the root zip file and put it in your downloads folder.
Enter clockwork recover mod by holding down the volume up, power, and home buttons
Navigate by using the volume buttons to Install Zip > Choose Zip from Internal SD card > Navigate to the downloads folder> Select
Be Patient! and wait until your device is finished
Once the process is finished, you can select Reboot
Once your device has rebooted, launch the Google Play Store app
Search “SuperuserSU” and select the first app that shows in the search results
Install this app
Once it has finished installing, your done!
The only problem is I cant navigate to the option "install zip from internal sd card" I simply dont have though's options here is what I have when hold volume up reset and home
"reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage (which i dont have)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
When i hit apply update from ADB it says "now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
Im wondering if the original flash didnt go thru? Why dont I have the options that I should?
Any help would mean the world trying to get this puppy up asap!

Eddy

Sounds like the root method you are using is just way to complicated. Follow this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 it has prerooted firmwares that you just install with odin and you are done (cwm included). Just make sure you grab the right firmware for your carrier.

Beauty I think its flashing the rogers rom to my phone from there Im good to load other roms using this odin tool? (or is it rom manager?)
also what is this clockwork mod ? I might as well go into play store and get both rom manager and clockwork?
- eddy
So After I flashed the new rom to my phone i left it plugged in and it restarted. Android loader popped on and now it says android is upgrading... starting apps. Its been like this for over a half an hour... what do i do??? helpppp dont really want to reset it but it is bricked? or do i have to reload ?
update:
held the restart button down it restarted bit is still stuck on starting apps.
update two:
held vol down home and reset tried to reload the rogers rom onto the phone and now it stops at samsung load screen. Do i have to reload the carrier that came with the phone? I cant quite remember what the original carrier was.
UPDATE THREE:
I as able to boot back into the phone but...nothing changed? i ended up wiping the phones data in settings because its too full as it is. I downloaded root checker and it said access was denied ? That makes its not rooted after all... I followed the directions seems that they didnt take? Any clues?

Okay buddy looks like you need to learn some basic android 101
You are definitely not ready to root or do anything til you learn this stuff...
Okay, so first is recoveries. Basically recoveries are a bit of software that let's you flash ROMs, kernels, and whatever else to your phone. When you hold volume up and power when your phone is off, you boot to recovery. Now basically recoveries are necessary because when you are flashing a new ROM it essentially deletes the android system from your phone first so this is a way of your phone still working between flashes.
Clockworkmod is a custom recovery with a lot of features meant for flashing ROMs. There are competitors such as TWRP (team win recovery project) but clockworkmod is a great starter. Use videos or tutorials on how to use it before you flash your first ROM. I can not stress how often you need to read read and read some more.
Okay so rooting your phone. Basically there is a "root" directory of your phone. Its where all the system files are stored and it let's you do a lot of stuff, but it also means you can screw a lot of stuff up to (like really screw it up). On default you are locked out of here by the maker of your phone for various reasons. Rooting means that someone found an exploit to gain access to this folder. Usually what you then do is you find a way to inject superuser (a little app that gives root access to other apps later on). You use Odin in this case to install a stock Samsung rom (with superuser already put in the root directory of that modified ROM its installing) essentially this means you have root. Root allows you to install recoveries like clockworkmod (which you need to flash ROMs later.
Okay so that was my quick run through. At your point you need to go to YouTube and Google how to root the sgs3 and hopefully they should have one for your specific carrier. The process should be the same minus the files you flash. Essentially you should be looking for stock ROM (for your specific device) with superuser or supersu already installed. Then you should be finding a way to install clockworkmod once you have root. (You may be able to find a file or tutorial that does this in one go). I cannot emphasise enough about reading. You wouldn't be here had you read first and in the flashing business, if you don't want a sgs3 paper weight you should read first.
Oh and ROMmanager from the marketplace installs clockworkmod for you (ONCE YOU HAVE ROOT) its simple. Just download it from the play story. Click flash recovery. It will load a bit and your done. Then you can reboot into it. ROM manager (the paid version is unnecessary) it just adds extra features you don't yet need. Look at it once you have flashed your first few ROMs.
Best of luck. Let me know and slap that thanks button. I wrote this on my phone.

Hi eddy,
It sounds like you didn't get CWM to stick after your flash with ODIN. You need to uncheck the reboot option in odin and then after the flash is done pull the battery and go directly into CWM loader by booting with the volume up + power + home button method. This will give you cwm rather than the stock loader you seem to be trying to use. You're almost there!

He also said root wasn't sticking. He needs that before he can cwm to stick

I think he can't install the superuser.zip from cwm after boot because he's allowing the stock rom to overwrite his cwm flash ... he's gotta pull his battery after the odin flash to get root in. That's what worked for me. once he's got root he can use rom manager to upgrade to cwm 6.x

He shouldn't need cwm to install. If flashes a firmware with root already injected he can then just use rom manager to install clockworkmod for the first time since rom manager just needs root which he will have. You can root and keep the stock recovery on at the same time
I think his biggest issue is root not sticking. Til he does that cwm wont install

[Q] Android System Recovery <3e>

Hello. I'm stuck in Android System Recovery <3e> and i need your help, thank you in advance.
I'm afraid to brick the phone and i'd really appreciate some fast help! I'm affraid the phone could run out of battery even if plugged in!
I downloaded Samsung Galaxy NoteII Toolkit V4.1.0
I installed the drivers
I started to root my phone, I chose the fifth option
"Will either push the selected root file to your Internal Storage, guide you through flashing Custom Recovery via Odin. When the device reboots it will bot to recovery so root files can be flashed + rename the recovery restore files. Or install the zip file via adb sideload after recovery boots. plus busybox will also be installed"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I went trough Odin, and then when the phone was detected I chose cwm and it rebooted again, it went in Android System Recovery <3>
I can read this

The toolkit told me to press any button when i was in sideload mode. So i pressed and it said "error: closed" then i sayed press any button when file installed ready to reboot (something like that). I tried and i pressed a random key and it said "error: closed" and went back to main menu and i'm still in Android system recovery <3e>
Now, i'm still plugged to the computer. I'd would like to start all over. What should i do? Reboot system now? unplug the phone? Take the battery out? I already tried power + volume up combo. It reboot and goes back to where i was.
I'm afraid to brick the phone and i'd really appreciate some fast help! I'm affraid the phone could run out of battery even if plugged in!
Edit: I took a shot and chose "reboot system now". Everything seems to work fine but Root checkers says i'm not rooted. I would like to know if i can start again without worrying about what happen?

How unroot?

Hi to all. I got an used m8, i noticed is s on and locked but got root. How can i remove it? I tried with supersu with the unroot optiin but not worked. If i remove supersu app get root access without needed permissions. Thx
http://bharathsunny.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Root-HTC-one-M8-Step-by-step-Guide
follow the instruction.
Unrooting procedure:
Yes,there is an un-rooting procedure also for this mobile.We should appreciate the work done by the developers.To unroot,simply follow the steps below.
*Uninstall weak sauce app,
*Un-install supersu app.
*Do a ADB reoot for your device.
That's it.Your phone has been successfully unrooted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried to unroot my phone using the unroot option in SuperSu but after a reboot its still there. Best way i found was to use TWRP recovery mode. Make sure thats installed then....
Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk.
Hope that helps
thx to all, in the end i finally choose to re root with aio toolkit and put android revolution rom

[Q] Find 7: "no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it"

Hi folks,
I've follow ParotZ's Recovery Installer process to root and am having SuperSu issues.
I install recovery (option 5), then reboot to recovery (option 0), system > reboot > swipe to install > and then once it loads I'm greeted with
"no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it"
I've put UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16 on internal storage and tried earlier versions and flashed, with the same result.
The SuperSu app is installed. I attempted a manual update on the Play store, but the 'no su binary' message is still there.
I can't uninstall supersu, either with an uninstaller app or through Play (it does not show 'uninstall', just shows 'open')
It persisted after I factory reset and wiped (not through recovery).
Any help? Keen to get on Cyanogen.
My phone specs.
Model
Oppo x9076
ColorOS
v2.0.0i
Android version
4.4.2
Build number
FIND7WX_12_141017
Kernel
3.4.0-S3753
Baseband
Q_V1_P14
I've seen others with the question, but none with answers for the Find 7 :/
Cheers!!
solved
Hi folks,
I've solved the issue. I could not root using that method because I had updated the OS and there was some form of conflict that stuffed the SuperSu binary.
So I downgraded back to stock (the earlier ColorOS) and reapplied the root process.
For those with the same issue follow these steps http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/22/how-to-unroot-the-oppo-find-7-video/
Then reattempt the root.
Note that step 6. "Using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option you want, select Wipe Data and Cache." will erase the OS you just copied over, so do this prior to copying the OS or you'll just need to do it again.
When the OS loads and you come to the update SuperSu step, my Play store wouldn't load due to I think a delay in the accept terms of use popup. So I used the TWRP method and it worked fine.
Good luck.
Darren.
