[Q] How to full root 4.2.2. on singlesim? - Sony Xperia M

So, I flashed that dual sim firmware on my ss xperia m. Everything worked fine, and I tried to root with that cydia impactor method. Everything seemed to go well, until rootfixer step. So I run rootfixer, it seems to be going well, but after the reboot, when it tests did it worked, my phone reboots(so I guess it failed to full root). I get Error: Device not found in cmd, and that's about it. I tried it several times, but I did not managed to get full root with this method. So, are there any other methods to get full root on 4.2.2. ss?

Try again with the same method by cydia impactor. When you use root fixer your phone reboots? Mine does that aswell on 4.2.2 when i root. It boots up and then boots again. So keep the device attached to the computer while it boots for the second time and tell me if that helps

Trying to root P930 from Bell and failing miserably :(

Hi!
I've been trying to root the LG P930 from Bell for the last couple of days, and I've tried essentially all the guides and nothing works
It's running 4.0.4 and s/w version is LG-P930-V20e-Jul-22-2012.
I'm at wits end now, trying to root it!
I tried the latest Framaroot, it didn't work, I also tried the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33" method, and that kept getting an error along the lines as "couldn't find ric" folder. Another common one I tried, where I had to copy "LG_SystemBackupTest.apk" and then reboot, etc kept getting an error where it was permission denied copying superuser and busybox.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can try??
Thanks!
Did you try Matman's unbricking guide? I don't think there is any way to root unless you go through the unbrick process.

I believe you need to revert back to GB in order to unlock the bootloader and get root access which the unbrick process requires.
I highly recommend using a WinXP x86 machine if possible. I didn't have much luck with x64 machines.

This is the one I used on 3 different Bell P930 phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784709
Is your phone unlocked? If not, it might be best to unlock it first, then install a custom rom. With a custom rom, you may not always get the prompt to enter a network unlock code.

This guide worked for me great http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
And that was my first time rooting a phone so I guarantee you this one also works and you don't have to type cmd commands, have a quick read and decide which one to use. In the end both methods will have your phone rooted.

So I tried the Hereric method and I'm getting stuck on Step 7:
7 - Run TPSparkyRoot.bat, following the instructions in the window.
When I run the bat, it gets this error: cannot create /data/local.prop Permission denied
Any ideas?

Try the method here under JB ROOTING. Works for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

Try uninstalling the LG drivers. Reboot the computer then reinstall, then reboot. After that use the LG mobile support tool to update the phone back to v20e. Then try the root method again. Just remember to follow the steps precisely.

Try running the CMD as administrator, I have done 3 times the hereric method and it worked.
So in the end, I managed to root, yay!!
It ended up being because of my computer it seems. I was using a macbook pro with windows on it, and it seemed to just not work. The minute I tried another PC, the hereric method worked on the first try basically
The only issue im having now is, finding a proper ROM. The Avatar ROM works, but it keeps crashing randomly for some reason, no matter the version I try
I've rooted my Bell P930 using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645 ... i was failing using windows 7, but succeeded using WINDOWS XP.
EDIT: nevermind, i just read your above post, bleeeeh =) as for you crashes, i dont really know avatar, but FULL WIPE before flashing a ROM is recommended in my experience.
FULL WIPE:
Factory reset, wipe system, wipe dache, wipe dalvik.
Flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot .... if that doesnt work you might want to try another ROM, CM10.1.3 is pretty much to more stable of all, personnaly im using CM11, not having any issues other than my phone slows down when battery is running out, still in developement.

Congrats mate I suggest you flash one of the most popular roms the Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 (stable) which is equivalent to the stock android version 4.2.2
Unless you want to try the nightly (not stable) version of cyanogenmod 11 which refers to android kitkat.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p930
And I recommend flashing also the WIND kernel, very friendly kernel for the battery and for the CPU.

Don't forget to wipe your phone before flashing the custom ROM

If you keep losing root on 4.3 (Solution here- NO PC needed)

Here's a solution if you are as unfortunate as I am with the 4.3 and keep losing root.
Install vroot from market.
Open it and run root.
Repeat 2x.
Reboot.
Go to market and install SuperSu apk
Got to Chainfire site and download SuperSU-v1.89.zip
Reboot in recovery and flash the zip you downloaded. (for my piece of mind, I flashed TWICE).
Reboot. You should now have root.
If not, repeat process.
NOTE - There are many ways to root, but it seems, this is the only one that has kept my root privileges and no need of PC.
Hope this helps
explains how it works in more detail the recovery will not let me put the zip SuperSU I have the factory recovery

Is this your first time rooting? If so, you need a custom recovery first. Either TWP (latest version) or CWM (latest). To install those, you need Odin and must use PC so it can push recovery into phone
I'm curious why you use vroot (which roots your phone) and also flash root? Why not run vroot, download su, open stand allow it to update binaries? I used vroot from my pc, but I imagine the app works the same. In a side not installing a recovery and rooting with just the app should not trip knox, mine didn't

I've tried vroot on its own. I've tried to just flash SuperSU. I've also tried to use vroot plus updating binaries on supersu. Kept losing root. LoL. This seems to hold it.

A way to root android 4.3

I havent tried this but it could be possible. you need unlocked bootloader for this. update to the new 4.3 update, then flash a custom kernel from 4.1.2(one with cwm), boot into recover mode and click reboot phone. it will say "phone not rooted, root now?" click yes and it shall put SU files in /xbin. flash back to stock 4.3 ernel and then download supersu or superuser from play store to manage root apps - dont need a app like this for root, permission is automatically accepted without this app so you dont nesseserily need it. this worked for my stock 4.1.2 ROM and in theory should work for 4.3. I havent tested it yet but because i havent updated yet but i will test in the next 1-2 hours when i get a chance

[Q] Reboot Problems

Hello, in service menu it says my boot loader can't be unlocked so don't tell me to use cwm, I rooted with framaroot and it works fine but when I mount etc as r/w my phone instantly reboots, and possibly more folders too, didn't come across any more, is there a solution for this? And what's wrong, thanks
Bro your phone is half rooted that's why it keeps booting when u mount it as r/w. Download the remount/reboot fix from the given link and unzip it, (connect your phone to your pc) and run the "install.bat" and select superSu app and then follow the instructions on command prompt.
Link- http://d-h.st/fbt
One more thing, download and install busybox before using the fix from play store.
Hit thanks

No, he doesnt need to flash anything. All he has to do is use the remount reboot fix tool by [NUT]. Thats all, and your phone will no longer reboot.

Flashback?

I think I need to do a Flashback on my Tablet so I can truly root it. I've tried a few ways to root it and all have failed. SuperUser won't open at all. Tried to Towelroot, even tried Stump Root and Stump says the device is already rooted, but I know it's not...
Just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum.

Ok was able to run the SU Zip through CWM and had it rebooted after it was completed. Once it was on. I looked around on the Tablet and SU isn't installed. Running Root Checker Pro and it says the Devices appears to be running very Slow... Been on this screen for a few mins already.
Edit: Went back into CWM and Re-Booted... When I clicked on it a new page loaded and had an option to Fix Root... Choose it and Re-booted.
Downloaded SU from Google Play and it worked now... HUGE THANKS....
Well Crap... Says it's rooted. Xmod is getting Permission from Super User.. Mod installed in the Game... launch from xMod and the Game Crashes.
Ok opened SU and it triggered KNOX... Clicked to let SU to try and disable KNOX.... Been on that Screen for 5min so far...I also get a Security Notice Stating Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.
..........................................................................
Unistalled SU and Restalled it. Let SU try and Fix KNOX again... Fixed it in just a Few Seconds.
Wroking 100% Now. The last issue was with XMod not the root.
BIG THANKS
