(DS) Help! Reboot everytime I try to use gl2sd or other root app

I rooted my xperia m dual using vroot 1.7.1. Replaced the Chinese superuser with supersu 1.65. I got the root permissions this way. Also installed busybox v1.21.1 in system/xbin using normal install method. Then I try gl2sd, but whenever I click on mount, after mounting, my device reboots. I am on stock rom v4.2.2, rooted, bootloader locked. I hope there must be some way out to make it work without unlocking the bootloader, coz it was working on single sim version without any need to unlock bootloader. Help asap developers

You need a rootfixer.Your phone is half rooted therefore everytime you try to write in /system it reboots.
Try using this guide and dont forget the 4th step.

No it doesn't, Its just Deodex for the rom. You need to flash SuperSU in recovery separately for gaining root

hey @batrian,
Can you please guide me how did you make this Deodex with Kamome Tool (Steps)? I tried using the Tool but ended up in a bootloop
i didn't choose zipalign option as it had some issues.My Deodex zip came out to be of 333MB,not like 396MB of other deodex zips.

Oh really? thats bad :-s . okay this is how I did it :
when you run "deodex_bat" first press 1 then you get the folder called "System" and its sub-folders. Then inside it, it must be folders of "app" and "framework" and "priv-app" .
then I manually copied the files for each folder from phones system and put them to their respective folders(folders made in the Kamome.)
then that's all. I chose number 3 and it started to deodex and for me it took very long time to do it.
When done, I chose number 4 and it automatically gave me the zip for flash. and after flashing did the DALVIK-CACHE wipe only.
and i never did zip align.
GOOD LUCK! hope this work.
and sorry for bad Grammar.

[XMS] [MANY FIRMWARES] Deodex & SUPERUSERMOD

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for you bricking your phone, applications stopping working on you phone or data wipes what may happen during the installs of these files. You are installing them at your own risk. Please make backups of the original files as I won't supply you with them.
Hi, I've deodexed the /system partition to the most recent update (at the time of writing), 15.4.A.1.9, of the Sony Xperia M SINGLE SIM.
The files have been taken from the C1904 ftf, but will work perfectly fine on the C1905 too. The deodexed files come in a neat .zip for if you have an unlocked bootloader, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader please refer to this guide on how to push the files to your device.
I have also modified the services.jar file to enable SUPERUSERMOD, just push the new file to your device and enjoy. You also need to be deodexed to use SUPERUSERMOD.
I will keep this thread updated if any new firmwares get released. Just check back after about a day and I should have them up for you.
15.4.A.0.23 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.4.A.1.9 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.4.A.1.10 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
I never actually stated how I made these files, for the deodexed files I used the Kamome tool (thanks for your tool @AndroPlus) and for the SUPERUSERMOD I followed the guide by @DavidMKD.

Thanks buddy!!!

yeah sure, i have a hardlocked bootloader so i just pushed the services.jar file through adb but after i reboot i LOSE the ability to edit system files or mount/edit permissions using any root explorer.
ive fully deodexed following the guide using adb also.
im thinkin i should just deodex and leave out the superusermod as i actually have access to system files then

Do you still have the superSU (or superuser) app installed? If so, can you connect to the computer and run the adb shell command followed by the SU command?

erm it seems to be working now... i have no idea why i had the problem, but ive just reflashed the latest firmware rooted, su-ed, busyboxed, fixed root, deodexed and then done the mod and it all seems to be working fine now
my phone has been an absolute nightmare though to be honest, problem after problem - locked bootloaders are a nightmare

Works as a charm

If you had referred to the OP you would have found that the deodexed .zip can be flashed in CWM whereas the SUPERUSERMOD has to be pushed manually.

Inside of the .zip there is a services.jar file. This file is the untouched version without SUPERUSERMOD enabled. The SUPERUSERMOD I have created is not in a .zip format and you will have to push it/copy it to your device manually.

Are you sure this zip for 15.4.A.1.9? im applying this patch and Sony PCC saying 15.4.A.0.23. Why? Anyone had this problem?

Hey, possible of you could make a whole system flashable from ftf? I don't have a computer to flash ftf much appreciated if you did

Yes, definitely for the 15.4.A.1.9 firmware. I downloaded the aforementioned firmware for the sole purpose of making these mods. I can only assume it is something in your build.prop why it is displaying like that. Try copying the original build.prop to your phone, setting the correct permissions and then rebooting.

Unfortunately this is common, have you tried pulling the battery and then restarting once it is put back in? Also, have you deodexed (or at least deleted the odex file to services.jar)? This is required, I suggest deodexing first and then replace the services.jar file.
Polish translation (used Google translate so forgive if it is inaccurate):
Niestety jest to powszechne, czy próbowałeś wyciągając baterię, a następnie ponowne uruchomienie po jego umieścić z powrotem w? Również, czy deodexed (lub przynajmniej usunięte pliki ODEX do services.jar)? Jest to konieczne, proponuję deodexing a potem zastąpić plik services.jar.

Próbowałem cały czas... Pełen root + deodex... Chciałem dodać sobie wygląd z Z2, jednak wersja, która działa (i nie potrzebuje superuser), jest niekompatybilna z Gravitybox... A do reszty potrzebuje superuser mod...
I tried all the time ... Full root + deodex ... I wanted to add the look of Z2, but the version that works (and does not need superuser), is incompatible with Gravitybox ... And the rest needs superuser mod ...

Lenovo k4 note xposed and supersu

Hello friends i am glad we are successful in getting xposed on lenovo k4 note.
Here we present the 100℅ working method for it
Firstly i think you have rooted already your k4 if not see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/root-lenovo-vibe-k4-note-t3313481
First you have to replace kingroot with supersu
Download this file Mod Edit: link removed.
extract it and place mrw folder in internal sdcard i.e. address should be sdcard/mrw
Ok now download this terminal emulator Mod Edit: link removed.
and open it.
Type su and enter
kingroot root allow window will open .press allow.
Now
It will show # rather than $
Now type
sh sdcard/mrw/root.sh
And enter and wait
supersu will automatically open now ask to update binary press yes and select normal.
Now install flashfire by chainfire here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.chainfire.flash
And install
Now download these files
Mod Edit: links removed.
Ok open flashfire
Click + button
Select flash zip file
Select the downloaded xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64.zip
And flash
It will automatically flash and reboot now install downloaded xposed apk and
There you go.
Like everytime you are welcomed to ask questions like noobs
No problem everyone was a noob first.
UPDATE: this method has been tested on 2 k4 notes more than 3 times without any problems. this method will work for every phone with locked as well as unlocked bootloader but just download suitable xposed binary for your phone if your phone is not 64bit.

I can't understand how can you lose imeis with this method.
There is no such thing like that.
Imei partition is different from system.
Maybe you tried firmware upgrade via sp flash tool.
But i used firm. Upgrade too but worked fine.

Not on all devices. It is common that messing with the system partition can cause IMEI corruption. Chained in dual sim devices. This is due to the fact that android doesn't fully support dual Sims so each oem does it differently.

But it will be same for same models.
If i am successful he should also be successful on same phone model.
But he may be trying differently. Not exactly how i wrote.

Imei corruption can be repaired easily as stock rom contains apdb, db files which are needed to repair imei.
