Hi.
After the new update(15.4.A.1.9), i noticed that when i try to raise the volume using my volume buttons,the indicator that used to appear ( the slider) on the screen is now a black rectangular.
I don't know if the bug appeared for me only but i would like to ask for your help.
What should i do?
I attached a screenshot.
Thank you
If you had searched the forums before posting you would have found the fix. Navigate to /vendor/overlay/ and then delete the android-res.apk file what is located there. Reboot and the items will work as expected.

will the arc get root with zergrush oneclick have tried it but doesnt work, is it possible to get this to work with arc?
I'm interested too!
I followed the guide for the play, it worked flawlessly.

Hi!
This works for ARC!!! 4.0.1.A.0.283 at least. Was able to remove bloat through adb. Wohoooo....no more worries of getting the 0% battery(if you don't need permanent root).
Works flawlessly on 4.0.2.A.0.42 Xperia Arc here. Just use the pdf guide, you can't go wrong
Works for Xperia Pro (MK16i) on 4.0.1.A.0.283 as well
Does it work with 4.0.A.2.368 ?

It should do, seems to be fairly universal.
Thank you Lord Takyon
The pdf file is way detailled but as I'm not an expert of such commands, is there any risk of doing something wrong ?
As the root is temporary, I don't think so... right ?

I think the danger of doing something harmful is quite minimal. if you do it wrong you just can't get rooted. The exploit itself is temporary(until reboot) and gives you
root over adb shell, but you can make it "permanent" by pushing the su binary and Superuser.apk to the phone. But I actually like that you have the option to just root until next reboot - so you can remove bloat via adb or modify system files and if you don't want to run any root apps that is exactly what you need.
thank you m2kk
Pushing su binary and superuser makes it permanent, you mean permanent until the next reboot, right ?
In any case, I reboot my phone very rarely (airplane, etc.) otherwise, neally never and the procedure seems to be short enough to be reproduce time to time.
I will try it in the evening and I will report

Nope, if you do it by the book you will have a fully rooted phone and the root survives reboot.
When I first bought my ZL, I rooted the phone using binary4 V27 on superuser mode and that was very fast and simple. I could modify system files and do everything.
One day using my ultimate stupidness, I updated the firmware to 10.1.1.....253 then I did factory reset without doing a backup for my root.
Right now, when I go to settings -----> about ----> I get Kernal version 3.4.0 with android version 4.1.2 but unfortunately It seems like I don't have a rooted phone + I am unable to do any function of a rooted phone like modifying system files or ....etc .
I've tried million ways such as:
1- rooting the phone using the same method --------> the result is stucking at the wight screen and nothing happened.
2- Using motochopper method --------> doesn't work
3- Using the method of installing Android SDK and using the command prompt window to push (Su-busybox-superuser.apk) files to data/local/tmp/ --------> when reach sysrw step (sysrw not found)
tried to type SU (su not found)
tried to use one of the alternative commands like cd /system/usr/we-need-root or ./su-backup -----> file not found
or mount -o remount,rw '' /systemmount ---------> Operation not permitted
I will be following your instructions directly and give u the feed back
I am not gonna move anywhere until solving this issue BC I am getting crazy
I would highly appreciate your help guys , ... Thank you so much in advance

Ur bootloader is lock or unlock? If lock, you have to be patient for new root exploit method to appear.
Another way is to degrade ur Rom to. 434 and root. Then flash doomkernel v7 (this only apply to bootloader unlock) and flash .253 xcluding kernel. When finish once u want to reboot, there will be request to root appear.
Another another way, download rootkeeper, then temp un root and run OTA but some people in Z forum reported that it still fail to update, some successfully update.

Some aspects of modifying this phone can leave you a seriously broken phone, notably the TA partition. You would benefit greatly from doing a lot (like hours and hours) of reading in the "Z" section. All the activity is there, not in the ZL section. 99.9% of all the information there applies to the ZL (but practically NONE of the download files, so do not use software there unless clearly labeled for the ZL). The sections on backing up TA (look for DRM and TA), on using flashtool.
Note that all the information on root that does not specifically mention 253 is obsolete.

Thanks alot for your reply but I really don't understand why this device (ZL) is being ignored like that
I have opened a thread here about that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293512
so many ZL users are complaining and unfortunately things are not going well

tried rootkeeper - doesn't work. (currently on 434 with locked BL)
Thread closed, use the post linked by the op three posts above
Please check this thread for FULL ROOT of the Xperia M with locked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Some of you who may have owned previous Sony phones may recognise the legendar Bina4y, he has been rooting Sony phones for years.
Just to let you know, root option 1 worked for me. You will see SU installed at the end. This is now the simplest and fullest root available on the Xperia M that I have used.
Bootloader
SharpnShiny said:
If like me and others you had trouble rooting for various reasons and don't want to go to extreme methods just for a simple root, know that there are other options out there!
One that is becoming very popular on XDA, is used on many threads I can confirm works for the Xperia M. One thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453
The root procedure is here: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
It comes from a Chinese source but don't be intimidated if you can't read everything. When you download it, if offers everything in English. It's really simple, a lot like the 'One Click Root' from past versions of Android.
Enjoy! :good:

I think it's half root. None of my app have problems getting root access with it, but if I try to edit the build.prop, it does reboot.

Huh? Have any mods on XDA looked into this? I read a lot of tech news (like many on here) and I keep hearing more positive things about it.
Don't get me wrong, I do not work for them in any way! If Doomlord or any other super-pros get FULL root on this I will happily use it.

You need to download/flash cf-autoroot using Odin for root access.
Here is the download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip
This zip file also contains Odin, so just unzip all files to a new folder in windows and odin flash
the cf-autoroot TAR file, reboot the phone and your good to go.
Good luck!
How did your rooting go? Success?

That's good to hear you got it right and fixed it now.
I doubt this is really anything exciting but I installed MiXplorer, opened it up and I was able to browse around the root file system. Not sure why or if this is news to anyone but thought it was interesting.

Can you edit anything?
Root Explorer browser does the same, but without actual root you can't edit system files.
