Xperia Pro/Neo/V/L :: Root Access Enabled After ICS Update?
Apr 16, 2012
I was having GB version of android on my Xperia Pro. I am using X-plore file manager. When I tried to go to root enabled setting from settings menu of the app. the app said root access disabled and I was never able to get root access. Yesterday I updated to ICS from PC Companion and my app. was already there on my memory card. When I opened the app I was able to go to root folder and the app. haven't said that the root access is disabled. I disabled root enabled setting from settings menu of the app. but I am worrying about wheather any other app. that I install can change my root (default) files. Also my phone is in warranty and it is said that warranty will void if you root your phone. But I have updated my phone through PC Companion and just want to confirm that my warranty won't void.
First of all i Understand that this would potentially void my Warranty, but what if im Perfectly fine with that?Is it possible to gain root privileges on Xperia X10 and / or flash modified System Images, lots of developers and Power users would benefit from that.
I've been looking all around the internets for how to root my r800at running 2.3.3, to no avail. It seems like there isn't any way to do this on the new .285 build. I have tried the DooMLord, UnlockRoot &Super OneClick approaches and all have failed. I have installed the Java JDK, Android SDK, and the SE PC Companion software on my computer, so if any of that is useful, I'm willing to use it. I am a complete noob, but finally decided to root after constantly getting the "Low on space" error message every time I try to update something for the last week. I'm looking for a solution to either a) root the phone without unlocking the bootloader (which is my first choice) or b) solve the "low on space" issue. I love my XPERIA Play and changing phones is not something I'm willing to do. Hopefully you guys can help. Also, being a noob, any answers provided should be done with the mindset that you're talking to a five-year-old.
I've updated X8 from 1.6 android version to 2.1 and the home (middle) button doesn't work anymore. Also the touch screen sometimes doesn't respond. I regret for updating because before this everything was working perfect. I've carefully done step by step the update according to the instructions on PC companion and on site. So is there a way to delete the 2.1 update and return to the root version 1.6?
I want to update to Lollipop so I want to unroot. When I tried to update, obviously it says it can't work. The weird thing is that I don't have root access anymore. So what do I do? I used towelroot.
I have samsung galaxy S5 running android 5.0.I have rooted my phone and here the problem starts,allmost all apps are able to get root access but few battery saver don't even detect that my phone is rooted for e.g. Du battery saver,battery doctor. Everything worked fine on 4.4.2 but after update this problem occurred...
Do you think it may be possible that we can get root access without unlocking the bootloader - I'm a little reluctant to unlock the bootloader because of the QFuse blowing.
I have a banking app refusing to run since it thinks thatmy phone (Nexus 5 running 5.1.1) is rooted. Only problem is that it's not. Or at least i think so....
I have understood that the banking app concerned checks if the phone is rooted by checking for SU binary in systembin and systemxbin, and fair enough, by xbin contains the SU file. I was rooted on 4.4 (or 5?) using towelroot. The bootloader has been locked all the time. I never rooted on 5.1 and above since I didnt want to wipe, and as it didnt matter much to me.
My questions are
1) Can I restore the root in some way, given that the SU binary exists without wiping the data? I tried Superuser app but naturally it failded to update the binary.
2) Can I delete the SU binary somehow without root access? At this point i only have read access to the systemxbin directory.
so I have a nexus 6 I am trying to root and I am using nexus 6 root toolkit I do everything they say to do but when I install the custom rom it says I don't have root access what am I doing wrong. I have tried to root it like 3 times now and it does the same thing.
On my Galaxy S4, I had 360 security and I loved it. This app kept my phone running just the way I liked, and it also remove all the garbage apps I will never use. When I upgraded to the S6, one of the first apps that I downloaded was 360, however, whenever I attempt to delete the unwanted apps, the message I get is:
"This function cannot be used at the moment. 360 Security has not been granted root access."
Just got the new Bold 9650. Should I have the firewall enabled, and the encryption enabled? What else should I do to make sure that my phone is secure?
So i finally got the update yesterday and ever since i cant access my email acount from my phone from either the standerd email app that comes with the phone or an app i've downloaded from the market, both apps are telling me that either my password or username is incorrect,which is wrong cos i've tried it multiple times and even tried after resetting my password!
the icon on the camera menu to switch to the front camera and back seems to have dissapeared after SE latest update using PC companion.How should I access it ?
Got sneak update to the stock music player? My player got stuck with shuffle enabled and hitting the shuffle button would shuffle the play queue and there was no longer anyway to disable shuffle. After reboot, it fixed itself but the shuffle button still shuffled the play queue. That said, I like the change. The shuffle function had an amazing number of repeat songs. Now you can go through a whole playlist without getting a repeat.
I am on 5.0.1 and my Knox isn't tripped. Rooted it with Ping Pong a while back, but want root, marshmallow, and non tripped Knox . If I unroot and update, can I use the SuperSU beta to systemless root without tripping kies?
Started receiving the update notification yesterday but I am very happy with my phone as is. It's up-to-date up until this update and I'm the kind of person where I feel "if it aint broke don't fix it". I rather hate design changes especially. Anyhow, in the past the only way I knew for disabling the update was to root the phone and use an app to disable the AT&T update app. Are there any other non-root options?
This is the one thing I wish they'd follow from the iPhone. Create an update notification area in settings and let it stay there. I don't need a nag screen every few phone unlocks. At least it's not as bad as when I had a Droid 2. With that thing literally I'd be prompted each and every screen unlock. Think I'm only getting it once or twice a day with my S5.
I just received a notification on my 6P saying that the january security update is available. The thing is that I'm rooted with systemless root, xposed, EX Kernel and TWRP.
My wifi is not working...i press the wifi button, screen freezes for 10 sec and then it turns off. My android version is 2.3.4. I also tryied ics and still it doesnt work but the screen dont freeze.Some times it just enables and then after it disconnects 1-2 times by itself and stops working for 1-2 days.
I have a problem with calls on my Z3 dual and the Answering Machine after the update to L.I don't have Smart Answer enabled -gesture to answer calls- but when I answer a call too close to the time set to the Answering Machine to kick in, when the call reaches this time (say 25 seconds) the call will be interrupted for about 2 to 5 seconds where I can't hear the other party and they can't hear me, and then the call will resume.If I disasble the answering machine, this bug is gone.I have cleared data of the phone app but still this issue persists.
I just got the international Z5c, model E5823, which supports both tmo us LTE bands in my area (bands 2 and 12). When I have preferred network type set to 3G, I get more bars and have data connectivity. When I switch it to 4G, the bars go down to 1 or 2, and I get no data.
I did a logcat while switching from 3G to 4G and noticed that while switching, the icon switches between H+ and H, then eventually drops out. I'm still trying to see if there is anything useful in the logcat, but the one thing I noticed that seemed interesting was D/StatusBar.NetworkController( 2598): updateIconSet, voice network type is: 13/LTE, data network type is: 13/LTETo me, this looks like I might be seeing issues with some failed attempt to use voice over lte (as this phone supports it).
used to be on 2.3.4 if I turn off backround data some applications can't work such as market,gmail,gtalk...etc. it's good for battery and performance of phone it be come more battery friendly
now on ICS backround Data always Enabled even disabled from switch on menu but all services still works on play(market),gtalk,gmail...etc if backround data enable/disable switch menu is useless on android4 why still there
4.0.3 and 4.0.4 roms are infected clean install or repair system doesn't work on that
