And tell me how to install that recovery? because I am still a newbie.. Help me please with it. Would be much appreciated..
I cant install system updates, it always give me errors. Help me please..

[Q][Xperia Ultimate HD 4.0] Lost Root ?!

Hi everyone !
3 weeks ago I installed the Xperia UHD 4.0 rom on my arc s following the indicated steps except for the root (my phone was rooted with eroot). Then I tried to install Greenify has recommanded by jader, but i noticed it always failed at hibernating apps. So I checked if I still had my phone rooted, in 2 ways : via Root Checker app, and via a method with Connectbot (if you want to know search "is my phone rooted").
I realized my phone isn't rooted anymore but i have CWM installed (don't know why but i can boot in CWM...), so I'm asking :
- Is it safe to reinstall xperia uhd ? (since i'm not root anymore)
- Any idea to get root back ?
If anything is missing, just tell me i'll add it
EDIT : i tried to reinstall UHD 4.0 but now I'm stuck at the sony logo. If someone is able to help that would save my life
And i tried SEUS, which tells me I have the most recent firmware.
Try installing SuperSU and see if you can regain root access. UHD comes rooted so you don't have to do anything to your phone unless you uninstalled Superuser which will make you lose root...

I know, that's the point : I didn't uninstall anything ...
Yep ! So I've just downloaded and opened the app. It tells me to update binary, i had to choose between "Normal" installation and "CWM installation".
I tried "Normal" and I got a german message which basically said "Superuser has been detected and it may causes conflicts, do you want to try to remove it ?". I pressed no, and got "Installation failed".
Then I tried CWM installation. It tells me it's going to reboot in recovery, and if nothing happens access recovery manually.
Concretely, it reboots, but normally (and nothing happens). So if I reboot in recovery, I have to install SuperSU from SD (with the zip given in the xda thread) ?

Hi again ! I was in a place without any internet connection, that's why I could not answer.
I tried to do that, nothing happened. Absolutely nothing, it did not even uninstall Superuser...
Any idea ? By the way thanks for the previous attempts to help

I assume you mean reflash from recovery mode ("install zip from sd card"), without wiping data and without formating /system. I'm trying right now.
EDIT : I tried, but now i'm stuck at the Sony logo . Everything went well, except the reboot failed... If you know what to do, like taking out and in the battery and try rebooting, it would be cool...

If you're using UHD4, it should come as a AROMA installer. Just select upgrade from existing installation. You will keep your data this way.

That's what i've done, but as said previously, I'm now stuck at the sony logo... I am going to search for some kind of unbrick method using flashtool (i'm going to try to reflash the stock firmware, then reroot via eroot, and reinstall UHD 4.0).
Finally reflashed stock .587 and rerooted via eroot, worked like a charm ! Thanks for your help by the way !

DO NOT UPDATE! every time you have a custom recovery it's never good to do ota updates. Press on the message and uncheck the box and the message will go away ??
It will u root your phone but you can simply update superuser and you will be good to go

there is no button to uncheck it. it has already downloaded. All I can do is dismiss it for about 5 minutes and it pops back up. I need to find the file and delete it I just don't know where the download is even with root explorer.

Press & hold down on the notification & "app info" will appear, tap on it & it will take you to the screen where you can uncheck the box.
If you have TWRP recovery installed, your phone will go into a boot loop when you install the update. So yeah, don't do that. There is a fix around here if you do get in that situation (ask me how I know!).
I downloaded and flashed this, which will update you safely:

I got stuck in a boot loop, i was able to find some posted on what to do but i can't copy anything to my phone via adb or when i mount it. I can browse to the phone via Windows, but when i try to copy it says "Cannot copy file_context". Any advise?
I saw one post that said to try some commands using Terminal Command but when i click that it doesn't give me an interface just files.

[Q] root priviliges, unstable and lots of fun.

hey, im new to Android, after moving on from my Iphone 4 to my the new M9, i start wondering.
i got my phone unlock booter threw the devHTC,
got it S-ff with the great app (that i forgot the name) which i payed for it.
installed SuperSu update to give roots privilages, and also BusyBox Free.
thoese are my problems:
1. installed SB game hacker, and its says after i gave it root privilages that i dont gave it, or i dont have root acces.
the thing is that with GameKiller i do get root access...
2. trying to apply patch with the Lucky Patcher sometimes i get root unstable window error that asked me to update my
SuperSu even thew its update to last vesrion.
3. again with Lucky patcher (which does get root privilages for sometimes) - i try to install threw the toolBox -> patch to android -> Signature Verificcation Status Always True , and after it reboot i go back to it and it says its not patched. like the patch failed.
i tryed to clear the core.jar and the service.jar but it doesn't help, it doesn't patch it.
4. i got the new System Update 1.36.709.3 and when i press Install now, it enter the teemmod (the developer mode which i can wipe, install and everything) and does nothing. after reboot to system it ask me again if i want to install, and again go to this dev mode (which is needed for installing supersu to the system).
5. same as befor, apps like clean master doesn't get superuser privilages and cannot disable auto start apps even thew superSu do allow it. also, CPU manager in Battery Life app always get off after a while, or after a reboot.
i hope i could get help cuz im really lost in finding a way to fix all of this.
Please help?
Hello,
You need to fix your root situation.
- Open supersu, and do a complete uninstall.
- Download the latest super su flashable from chainfires website (Google it)
- flash it in recovery mode
- boot and install supersu free from play store
- report back here
Also, if you flashed a custom recovery you cannot OTA update the stock Android, that update requires stock recovery to install.

Basic terminology:
- Recovery / recovery mode: Instead of booting into the Android OS, you can boot into the "recovery OS" (located on a partition of the phone storage, just like the android OS is located on its own partition). The OS used for the recovery partition can be either stock or custom - popular custom choices are TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) or CWM (Clockwork Mod) - TWRP is the best choice for the M9 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
- To flash something: To install something (always a zip-file, never apk files) while the phone is in recovery mode
TL;DR: Yes. :good:
Kind Regards

Okay I got 3 options - reinstall which is not what I need
And 2 more which are cleanup for switching userroot app
And a full cleanup for preparing uproot.
Which one should I pick.
Also I used last time Supersu 2.49, and now from the site is gave me I downloaded 2.46
I understand 2.49 is beta - so which one to pick?
2.49. Place it on the SD card of the phone before unroot. Choose complete unroot in the su app.

Not having SD - and install it from the internal storage of the phone can **** it up?
I press. Uninstall and it get stuck on it. I let it run for more then 40 min
And it didn't finish
Complete unroot just got the phone stuck?? If so, please walk me through the life of your phone from unboxing, eg what have you done with the device in terms of unlocking it, flashing stuff etc. Also, what carrier and soff status...

I mean got stuck on the please wait- I was able to switch app.
Also after trying few time to uninstall it - it worked.
I flashed the super 2.49 opened google store and unlocked the app.
The CPU manager in doctor battery still turn off after a while.
Also auto start app disable in clean master still says it don't have room access even
I have it again.
And I tried to install in lucky patcher the signal true - and after long "please wait"
And a auto robot it says it not patched.
What to do ?
Do you see a prompt to allow root access to the apps asking for it?
Can you post a screenshot of the Super su app with allowed and disallowed applications listed?
Are you on stock ROM with custom recovery?

Find your device/carrier RUU and start over, if you went through all the steps to get s off, you should have made a back up that you could start over with in recovery. If not search for for the RUU or original system file in the m9 forum For your SPECIFIC device.

Impossible to remove bloatware

Hi Guys,
I need help as strange thing is happening to my phone.
I have unlocked phone, installed TWRP recovery latest, rooted the phone. The phones has now superuser apk and I can work with superuser rights.
However when it comes to uninstall bloatware I go through Titanum back up and try to uninstall the bloatware. It is strange that it says there it is uninstalled but when I restart phone I find all apks in the phone. Indeed nothing has been removed.
Any idea why is that and how is possible this?
Thanks for any help.
I', on Lollipop, 4.16.401.13, unlocked, stock-rooted.

Do yo know what directory apk are located.? I can't find them.
System/App and private/app
You can't delete system apps within the running rom because your stock kernel doesn't allow it. You need a custom kernel or at least the system write protection module.

Problem with my 5t

Ok so i rooted my phone.. Followed a video tutorial. All good, installed magisk and after i wanted to update magisk to the latest version it said it cant update because of an error. Google chrome cant download anything , it says 'failed due to missing sd card'. I cant update any app or copy any files from pc to phone. Basically phone acts as i have no memory even though i do. I did factory reset too but has not changed anything. Probably i did a mistake in the unlocking bootloader and rooting process.
Because the phone was functional before that. What should i do? Thanks in advance.
Dont know the exact solution for this ome but if you are ok with wiping everything. Just flash stock rom again and then root your device.

do no attempt to re lock bootloader, u will more than likely brick, have u tried to hook it up to a PC to see if it will see it also did u enable storage permissions to chrome
or try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6R6t2RdKWg&ab_channel=MaxLee
There is a known issue seeing memory with root on 5t. You have to do the following to fix it:
From Play store get the app Terminal Emulator. In Terminal Emulator type:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Im not the best when it comes to phones developing. So i guess i made another mistake. Right after i had that problems i formatted phone so now i dont have the magisk app anymore. So. When i type su in terminal emulator it says permission denied. Oh god, its the last time ever when ill do things on my own... some other variants? Thanks in advance.

just go download the app and install, u don't need root to install the app
https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases/download/v5.5.3/MagiskManager-v5.5.3.apk
I can't download any file. How should I do to copy/download either the app you linked , either the SuperSU zip ? Because right now I have none of those in my phone. So basically I cant download any app or file from browser , I cant copy any file via file transfer on laptop . I can only install some of the apps from the play store. Some work , other dont.
So I guess there is nothing to be done ? It doesn't matter the solution , I have no data to lose or things like that . It can be anything , just to fix the issue .
Get usb flash drive. Download the rom, magisk, TWRP on it. Connect it through otg.
Boot to TWRP and flash the rom.
