[Q] Need help to root XT925 on JB 4.1.2

I want to root my XT925 on JB 4.1.2 (fido). So, I follow 0mega1's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118483
1. unlocked bootloader;
2. flashed epinter's CWM recovery
3. install supersu.
I have tried for 3 weeks, but failed.
the supersu is not installed, showing " no su binary, supersu cannot install it"
Would someone please help. tell me the process step by step. I am new for Android.
Question: after flashing epinter's CWM recovery, the phone in still in AP fastboot state, what shall I do? Just simply press the power button to go to the normal phone state?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes, press the power button to turn off the device; But Are you sure you have CWM recovery installed??
if yes, did you get the file in the link? It´s not install superSU from market, you must install via CWM the file in the link; I attached the file to simplify you the thing.
Save it to the root of your SD, turn off your phone, press both volume keys and power at the same time 2sec to be sure and drop the power button first and after the 2 volume keys; use - Volume to move to RECOVERY and pres + Volume to select.
I u have CWM Recovery it should appear, use it to install the file attached and you are rooted.

Have you already root your device yet?
did you flash any cwm kernel boot.img using flashtool?

Just repeatly push vol down until the blue light under your xperia J glowed.
Then you'll get your CWM menu appear on your Jlo screen.

[Q] Unable to load recovery - XT925

Hey guys. I can't seem to get into Recovery on my XT925 for the life of me.
From power off, I press Power + Vol Up to get the boot selection screen, select "recovery" from the list, and the phone reboots into the OS.
I've flashed both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Different versions of each too. But every time I hit "Recovery" it loads the OS and I can't flash any ROMS.
Another weird thing. When I'm in Fastboot and enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it just reboots into Fastboot again.
Can anyone help?

i dont know what the problem is but you could try downloading rom manager, it has an option to reboot into recovery, and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted my 4.1.2 stock rom, installed ROM Manager, flashed the recovery, and when it goes into Recovery, I get an Android with it's belly open, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. It stays there 1 minute, and it boots. I've tried everything. Any help is appreciated.
Tks

That screen is your stock recovery. Hold vol+ and tap pwr at the same time and you'll boot into recovery. Also, after you install the recovery, you need to immediately boot into it so the update binary can complete. Otherwise, your stock recovery will over ride. Honestly, it's just easier to flash a recovery in fastboot. That's the option I've used every time.

I flashed the recovery, booted into Recovery from ROM Manager, but I get the same screen, and no key combination is able to get me into recovery.
I'm actually trying to install CyanogenMod. I downloaded cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. To flash it through fastboot, every example uses an IMG file, not the zip file. To flash it through fastboot, should I unzip cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and flash the boot.img inside it? Or just rename .zip from .img?

Sweet! Good to see you got it to work. I'm not sure why, but ROM manager doesn't always seem to work.

I'm not able to enter in recovery mode using key combination pwr + vol key up and down (pressed simultaneously).
I'm only able to do this using CMW manager (Reboot into recovery). I've flash (using fastboot) recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt925.img, but it not accessible using key combination and relative menu (If the menu choose to boot into recovery mode, it start full boot and go into OS).
I've flashed CM10, but for access to recovery i've used CMW manager. I want to have the opportunity to enter directly into recovery in case of bad flash.
Where I'm wrong?
Thanks a lot

So you get the : normal pwr, rec, & etc list but when you scroll vol down & then vol up to select the recovery it boot normal?
I use : all keys hold till screen out. Then while keeping on both vol toggle pwr off , on & off. Boot menu list.
If that fails, post your sequence of events.

OK. So. This is the sequence:
1. Power key + Vol UP and DOWN pressed at the same time i'm able to show menu with "Recovery" option into list (others are AP Fastboot, Normal PWR, ecc)
2. Using Vol UP/DOWN key i go to Recovery option end press Power key
..phone start normally...not into recovery. I'm able to start recovery only using CWM manger or ADB.
My current recovery is ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.4
Thanks

You are not reading!
Final action vol up to select!
Tougher than stock recovery! I guess the bootloader engineers never used their own recovery.

Cannot install TWRP over Huawei eRecovery??

I am unable to install TWRP over the huawei eRecovery.
>I first unlocked the bootloader by using fastboot OEM command
>then installed TWRP. Tried all the versions that i found for mate 8. I get a message "OKAY"
> Then I get a message saying that I have to press the up vol button to go to recovery. And when I try to go to the recovery window I see Huwaei's recovery and not TWRP. I cant use TWRP manager for this as it will not work until I have rooted my phone. SuperSu through playstore does not work. How will I proceed with rooting and installing TWRP. I am stuck !!
Is there any application like ODIN for huawei? That always worked, no matter what went wrong. Please help!!!!!!
I guess I am using the international version

ure going about this all wrong mate
as already explained in the other thread, u cant enter twrp that way. if u press power up in the start screen ull always end up in the erecovery, no matter which regular recovery u have flashed.
easiest way to enter regular recovery is to install flashify from the playstore and choose to reboot phone into recovery

When the phone is off, hold on the volume + & power button at the same time. When the screen flashes on, quickly remove your fingers from the said key presses and it should boot into twrp. If you hold them too long it will boot into erecovery. If you want to reboot into twrp recovery when the phone is already on, then you will have to get an app like quick reboot or flash a Rom which has that option.

This.
Power plus volume down does nothing, TWRP-wise. However that is whta's being said to press in 99% of the threads/tutorials.
Took me HOURS and countless re-flashing of TWRP to figure this out myself. (the up *plus* down thingy). Really annoying.

Well, I have a question. What is the eRecovery, because I've seen this screen also and I dont know what it does. Also, there are three options in it: download latest version and recovery, reboot and shutdown. So if I press download latest version and recovery what will happen? Because I'm actually looking for a way to get off TWRP without having to lose any data (I want to install the latest OTA, but I've seen that TWRP doesn't support well those, and I don't want to mess up my phone)...
Please help!

easy: download a stock rom identical to your current version, extract recovery partition using the huawei app extractor from the rom's update.app file and then flash that through fastboot
and since u probably have no idea what im talking about, i suggest u use google and xda search functions before asking any further questions here dont be lazy and expect everyone to work for you and serve everything on a silver platter, do your due diligence!

Hi, simply press Volume up an down at same time when device is powering up...and hold it, until Twrp logo is on the screen. Works always for me.

Guys, volume-up+power goes to recovery
Volume-down+power goes to fastboot or bootloader

And just for the complete list:
Volume up + power AND USB plugged in goes into eRecovery (or TWRP, if you flashed TWRP to RECOVERY2 instead to RECOVERY)
Volume up and down + power and USB plugged in forces update via USB (indicated by a little USB-like icon in the recovery circle. The progess bar goes to 5% and waits for input from your PC)

True, when usb is attached
