Sd swap problem - Sony Xperia M

Ok I've used the sd swap using the universal init.d apk method and all worked fine for months until yesterday, I updated supersu app and thought nothing about it a few hours after update I rebooted the phone and lost the swap, tried removing the script from init.d folder and re doing it but no luck, the app did have root access granted but now it's not in the list and won't ask for access, has it lost the init.d support? Will I have to start from scratch of redoing the support? Also when I click verify on the universal init.d apk it says I have the support but no scripts working

Only way I could find to fix it was to have a fresh install, I flashed the last Australian firmware and started a fresh and all working Ok so far

Well it's happened again, latest update of supersu app and I have lost the swap. Any ideas? Should I try installing the init.d support again, but according to the app it says I have the support. Any help? I can't be the only one this has happened to

4.3 Root apps don't work

Tried both cm10.3 and liquid smooth, and apps like titanium backup and scary won't work. TBP just stalls when trying to restore and adaway just stops at parsing.

Did you enable root in developer option
Download Super SU from Play Store and update Superuser binary via CWM.

Been covered completely but..... You need to update you su binary and change your back up location from sdcard0 to legacy doing that titanium will work again for you

For back up location go into titanium's preferences and then back up folder location click it then detect whole device then change it to legacy agreeing to move them to there, I never had to do the su update all I've had to do was storage but several have had to update their su ... so I'd your needing to then download su from market, goo into us settings and chose to update binary but do it through recovery... Hope that helps ya Bud

Wifi Tether

Okay before anyone jumps me, I have searching for weeks on this. I tried various provision files and all have gave me the force close in settings. I tried that Trev E mod wifi tether app also. I can not get this thing to tether now. It worked fine when I was on ATT with a family plan, now I am using a NET10 plan. Phone is running 4.3. Is there no tethering hack anymore?

I'm using Skynote AIR and tethering is working for me no problem.
Not sure what Rom you on, or if your completely stock??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
If you are on stock I have something that will work. I'll try and have something that can be CWM flashed tonight.
Try this
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576267
I'm running Stock MK6 4.3 on ATT. Worked fine for me.
All it is doing is replacing the TetheringProvision.apk under /system/app.
If you don't want to flash the file above, download apk from here.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407566502
You will then need to manually put it into /system/app and change permissions.
So anyone try these yet ??

Thanks, I'm gonna test right now. I am on the rooted stock 4.3 rom posted on here in December.
If I manually do it, I will still need adb to change permissions, right?

Yes. But the CWM flash works fine also. I know for a fact this apk works. Been using it for months.
Was just curious if someone had tried the flash. You can download, unzip it and go to the updater-script and check out what it does.
I can't get the permissions to change. I will try to flash it but I have twrp recovery right now. How would I go about flashing it with cwm? If I put the zip on my sd card and go into cwm recovery, just select install from zip file option?

should work fine flash Just like a Rom

Alright, I flashed it with TWRP and it was successful. I booted up my phone and got a message saying that teatherprovision tried to access a secured area and wad blocked. My phone the tried to update the security policy. I then tried to turn tethering on get an error saying unfortunately tether provision has stopped. The phone then said gave me the same nessage about being blocked from accessing a secure area without authorization. So it did not work. Do you happen to have the stock tetheringprovision file or any other ideas? Maybe the permissions arent right but I'm at work and not sure of the commands off the top of my head if I can even change them on the phone.

Are you rooted ?? Sorry I didn't ask first. And do you want to be? If you run the latest version it will turn off Knox.
You are definitely running 4.3 because Knox came up and said whatta doing dude?
Have you ever done anything to your phone?
Did you rename the original or just replace?
If so, I'm working on posting the oriignals
Permission should be rw r r or chmod 644

I do not have knox. Im using the rooted 4.3 stock rom with the hacked bootloader mj4 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891. So maybe the permissions weren't set right when flashing?

If you go to the web site on your first screen shot
www.samsung.com/us/secureandroid
That reeks of Knox.
And security policy messages/warnings are Knox related.
Go to Settings, find About Phone.
Near the bottom of About Phone ..... What does SELinux status say? Or is there one?
**********************
The ROM you are on is the first one I ever tested the file on.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I got it. So you are rooted. Go to apps, open SuperSU. it should prompt you to update. After it does it should ask you to disable Knox.
Ok I went into SuperSU and it asked me to disable knox like you said. After doing that and rebooting, it still says Enforcing under SE for Android. I don't understand the disable know prompt though. I was under the impression that there was no way to disable know so thats why I had to flash the hacked mj4 bootloader. Can you clear this up for me? I am going to try to flash the tetherprovisions again since I am still the error when trying to turn the hotspot on.

No luck.. I'd say your file doesn't work haha. But do you happen to have a copy of the stock provisions?

Torque pro app dissapeared

Today I went to show my friend my torque pro app and it was missing from my apps. I tried to re download from play store and get an insufficient storage error. I also downloaded the apk and tried to install and it won't install. I'm running kitkat and did use the app after the update was using it yesterday with no issues. I deleted a song I downloaded yesterday and un installed two apps that recently updated. I also deleted all files I could find searching file explorer with torque in the file name.
Anything else I should try I also dirty flashed my Rom and cleared cache and fixed permissions

Towelroot

The last time I was here, we could not root 4.3 without either unlocking bootloader or root 4.2 first. Don't know if things have changed since then? Now there is a new rooting app exploiting a newly discovered vulnerability and I wonder if it would work with the Xperia M on 4.3.. anyone tried it out yet?
Works. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53425376
I tried to root 4.3 using towel root but when I try to root using the app and I click the button in it the app just hangs and after 4-5 seconds it fc's! I don't think it supports our device yet but no problem we have many other root methods. :angel::good:
It works!
But only half root.
You won't be able to use apps like foldermount.

Fix by nut does not work, after applying it my phone still restarts!

[SOLVED]Is there a compatible Directory binder for Xperia M(Android.4.3)

Hi, Is there a compatible directory binder for Android 4.3?, I'm trying to move obb game files to external sd card using directory binder from Lucky Patcher 4.3.5 but it does not work. My phone is rooted i rooted it using Towelroot, I also tried to use Folder mount and GL to SD but no luck. Directory binder from lucky patcher works perfectly when my phone is still on 4.1.2. Is there anyway to move obb files to external sdcard?
.
Please help

GL2SD Works absolutely great for me I guess the problem persists for you only. Try moving via File Manager and then GL2SD? It worked for me once never tried since then!

No, you need to unlock your bootloader before you can use cwm/twrp and custom ROMs/Kernels. For the reboot fix for towelroot I read something in a thread in general section.
And Im using linking from Android Tuner, Im on 4.1 but should work on 4.3 (not tested)
Sent from my Sony Xperia M C1905 via tapatalk
Root with Towelroot, then install SuperSU, then install busybox, then connect your phone to pc, run this script and follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53490030&postcount=27
Ok now folder mount works after i applied reboot fix :laugh: :good:
please read other thread, try this, no need for installing mounter apps :laugh:
