[Q] Rooting problem with Z3 dual, please help - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I have a problem with my Z3 dual device"D6633"
I downgraded to 23.0.F.1.74 and rooted using "giefroot_v3" then installed dual recovery. At this point everything looks fine but rooting seems not complete , I had to uninstall and reinstall busybox to make it work completely and it was successful.
The problem is 23.0.F.1.74 is slow and when I updated to 23.0.1.F.0.96 using flashable zip with root and recovery… I found that rooting is incomplete "some apps don't work even after gaining access to root through supersu"….. I couldn't fix this as I did with older rom or older device "Z2"
I created a very good customized flashable rom with following modifications:
• 23.0.1.F.0.96 deodexed and debloated
• Fm radio working without headset
• Added call recording
• Removed notification for disabled mobile data
• Removed notification for usb debugging
• Added some notifications and ringtones after correcting permissions
• Replaced calculator with CM calculator
• Avoided the need for "adaway" by directly modifying hosts file
• Avoided the need for "SD Fix" by correcting card permissions in "platform.xml"
• Replaced original emoji by iphone emoji
After flashing the rom using dual recovery and flashing system parts through flashtool, everything works great and the rom is ok except the rooting problem. Some apps work with root and some don't…
Working apps:
• Titanium Backup
• Call Master
• Aptoide
• File managers
Non-working apps "even after gaining permission in supersu"
• Adaway
• Xposed installer [big shame]
• Sd card fix
• exDialer plugins
I tried all solutions I know. I uninstalled and reinstalled busybox. I reinstalled supersu through recovery. But nothing works.
The question is …. Is there a way for better rooting to solve this problem???!!!

u might having system r/w mounting problem.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes , i am having problem with system r/w
I tried your recovery installer. It successfully installed the recovery , but nothing changed
still the same as before

i forgot u r on ur own customized rom. try reflashing stock supersu.zip frm chainfire's site. then reinstall the modded recovery package again. theres might be smth wrong with ur rom installer script.
can u check output frm terminal or shell if u trigger mount command?
mount -o remount, rw /system

I tried flashing this in TWRP but get an error that no md5 is found and that the zip is corrupt. Should it be flashed in a different way?

Download it again but make sure the little tick box that says download with dev-host download manager is not ticked
EDIT
are you sure it says ".zip" at the end? Have you hidden file extensions for known file types? I have a feeling you have downloaded the download manager which ends in ".exe"

Full root for A700 and A701 tablets

WARNING. THIS is ONLY for tablets running ICS. If you are running Jelly Bean, You May Brick your device!!
Again, this is for ICS ONLY!
Running this root on a Jelly Bean OS can cause your tablet to stop functioning as it is designed for ICS only. If you have a Jelly Bean Operating system, then please use Vorbeth's or Moscow Desire's Easy Root Package located in the Development Forum. If you do not know which OS you currently have, then you should ask questions before rooting.
Method 1. Universal for A700 and A701 Tablet
1. Enable adb mode: Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging - check it point.
2. Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here. Then reboot a tablet.
3. Download arhive. Unpack it to any place.
4. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file:
for windows with the rights of administrator:
Code:
runit.bat
Your firmware is now rooted.
5. At first it is necessary to start the Superuser program, at least 1 time after receiving root. And only then programs that require root access.
ATTENTION!
Don't install Busybox! It is already installed and established! If you reinstall it, some programs will become unable to access root permissions!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2. With the patched kernel from the A700 tablet
For ICS A700 firmware only!
1. Enable adb mode: Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging - check it point.
2. Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here. Then reboot a tablet.
3. Download this arhive. Unpack it to any place.
4. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file:
for windows with the rights of administrator:
Code:
flash-ICS-patchedBoot.bat
Your boot.img is now patched and firmware is now rooted.
5. At first it is necessary to start the Superuser program, at least 1 time after receiving root. And only then programs that require root access.
6. Now you will have to install the following programs:
BusyBox
Titanium Backup
7. Run BusyBox and go through the install steps. During this SU should ask permission to give BB root access, if it does, it worked!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 3. From CWM recovery for A700 and A701 Tablet - Not available due to problems in the work of CWM recovery!
1. At the tablet must be installed CWM recovery.
2. Download arhive ICS_Rooting_recovery.zip. Put it on SD-card. Insert the SD-card in the tablet.
3. Run CWM recovery on the tablet and flash ICS_Rooting_recovery.zip.
Your firmware is now rooted.
4. Now you will have to install the following programs:
SuperUser
Titanium Backup
At first it is necessary to start the Superuser program, at least 1 time after receiving root. And only then programs that require root access.
ATTENTION!
Don't install Busybox! It is already installed and established! If you reinstall it, some programs will become unable to access root permissions!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 1, in contrast to method 2, does not affect the core of the system. This makes it possible to receive future firmware update. But only if you do not forget to make backups before making changes to the system and restore it before upgrading.
PS: I tried to make a method 1 as safe as possible. But I have not had a chance to test it completely. So if it does not work, be sure to let me know in this thread and I modified it.
great work ! Thank you for this :good:
BTW the the script is called "flashpboot.bat" and not "flash-ICS-patchedBoot.bat" in the archive.
Really great thanks for it.
Just a question, can it be unrooted/undone by flashing 028-stock rom?

Rename Acer_AV043_A700_1.028.00_EMEA_FR to update.zip and put it in an external sd card.
There's a startup mode that installs it automatically, you have to press the left volume+power buttons at startup if I remember well.

you missunderstand, they mean, when you have 1.028 you cant flash the patched bootloader because they stuck onn boot screen
No problem to flash again Acer_AV043_A700_1.028.00_EMEA_FR or Acer_AV043_A700_1.025.00_EMEA_CUS1

The size of the patched bootloader seems wrong, I guess that's why it's faulty.
OK, so how do we fix this ??
Edit, reflashed with update.zip, so all OK, phew !
Cannot reproduce with Acer_AV043_A700_1.028.00_EMEA_FR !
Just stays at Acer logo with unlocked bootloader and forces me to re-install as update.zip which leaves me without root.
Which Firmware is working ?
Has anybody allready tested with which firmware this method is working and with which not ??
Be careful, same issue on NORMAL french firmware, not the crappy totally unknown one everybody seems to like, so i guess that's it : this patch STUCK YOUR TABLET ON ANY KNOWN FIRMWARE THIS FAR
Okay, so i just tried to push insert the superuser.apk into the Acer_AV043_A700_1.028.00_EMEA_FR file and flashing this, but as i was expecting, it didn't work out... it didn't even install.
edit: i can confirm, that it does neither work with the Acer_AV043_A700_1.028.00_EMEA_FR, nor the Acer_AV043_A700_1.025.00_EMEA_CUS1 !
so, i guess we have to wait for ZeroNull to come up with another way to get this to work.
Flashboot.bat not responding
I unlock my bootloader with Blackthund3r's A510 Bootloader Unlocker v1.0.0 and go the "unlocked" status. Rebooted the tablet, went into the patched-boot folder and ran as administrator "flashboot.bat". The screen displayed a bunch of what looks like gibberish and when I pressed the Enter key, the screen went to :
"Flashing patched boot.img
<waiting for device>
Then the process just sits there and doesn't go any further. Am I missing something in what I am doing?

You have to reboot into bootloader for the script to work.
But if you had read the comments above, you might have seen, that the described method does not yet work and several people state, that after flashing the Boot.img the device is stuck in boot.

Just to be clear : This method specific to A700 does not work at all yet BUT this WORKS PERFECTLY with the A701 patched rom ZeroNull released at the same time
check this post for the a701 patched rom, you don't need to put it on sdcard it includes BAT files to flash it all from bootlader

IT seems that pushing SU is successful while pushing ROOTEXPLORER.APK files with system read only. Then I try to go to shell and list the size of SU, it is 0 byte. Then I try to push it again, it says system is read only.
Anyone please help me, is this because of my phone problems or is it because of the firmware?
can anyone know why system is read only?
any linux expert can help me?

thanks for confirming, i thought i am the only one having this problem. do you have any clue why this happen to us? is it because of the ICS?
I'm still looking in other threads for information about this specific error.
I read about changing the bootloader, changing the kernel... but I think the main problem is,
that our device is too new, only few people owns a ZP500. THe only way for us is to wait.... :-(
You can try this rom: http://115.com/file/e7jae9ni
it has su preinstalled, but you will get the same problem with Read-only file system.

yeah i tried, that ROM failed in rooting, can't mount RW and copy file.
yeah our phone is too new, I am actually trying various method found on web but all fail. Btw do you know how to put clockworkmod in this device?
when I try to root my ZP500 (Firmware 0702) with different methods (MTK Tools, unlockroot, etc), it still stay half-rooted(
I can not change /system RO permission.

Then I flash rooted Vietnam firmware (based on 0702), root is full now. I can freely change /system permission...

Maybe someone clever finds this info useful and help us to made full root access on stock 0702 firmware?
delete chinese, install google apps
I got a ZP500 rooted.
The problem is that it is full of chinese apps (keyboard, 360 mobile safe and many others)
Also I cannot install some google apps (browser, maps)
Do you know a way to uninstall the chinese apps and install google apps?
Sorry to post this at this topic, but I cannot create new topic yet

- Follwed guide and currently down at Step 2.3 - open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure) PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. The app does rest... So its nice and easy
Ok so to the point of this thread.
I downloaded DooMLoRD's root.zip doo dar (Lack the correct terminollogy - Im a noob so handicap is allowed)
Extracted all files
Opened up the 'Run Me.exe'
A cmd pops up, with info of preparation before hiting any key.
I hit the any key and below is what I get:

This restarts my phone but nothing else.
I have the su apps on my phone, I have root explorer too.
I've looked in the \system\bin and \system\xbin for an su or something titled su or su binary
Can't find anything so I am worried about that. - does my phone have an su?
Also from the code above it mentions 'cannot open for write: read-only file...' how do I change this if this is the source of the problem?
If not, further down it mentions not being able to copy 'superuser.apk' over - do I remove this from the extracted files and replace with a current version?
Please can you experts help me out - I have searched the forums but they only resolve other makes / models.
Additional info is I didn't S-OFF as I couldn't understand what to do, but skipping that step I still got this far so unsure if I needed it.
I appolagise for the lengthy post but it should help shortlist possible problems down abit.
Thanks for reading.

Whilst waiting for a reply I had a browse through the search again and realised exactly what you told me.

Perm Root achieved...
I too am looking for the answer. I'll edit this post if I find something
If CWM would install, that wouldn't be a problem
Scozzar said:
I too am having this issue at the moment. The bootloader is unlocked, but I will not get perm root, even though it says it was achieved...
EDIT: Turning off Fastboot yields different results. But still no SuperSU.
EDIT2: I GOT IT! Basically, I downloaded the latest SuperSU .zip off XDA, put it on the phone, then flashed it in CWM. SuperSU now appears as an app!

I'll try turning off fastboot, but I can't get CWM to install at the moment either. SuperSU and Busybox also can't install.
Again, I'll try turning fastboot off and see how it behaves.

What have you done? Also, you can't turn off fastboot; it's a mode selected from the bootloader. Do you mean ADB? Turning that off won't do anything either, other than making your phone's system inaccessible from the computer.
Scozzar said:
Fastboot, as in the check box in the stock ROM. You can't get into bootloader with it on. Also, if I was able to flash a new ROM, does that mean busybox is installed?

Depends on the ROM.

V2 Oxygen JB is what I'm using.

Er, I don't know for every ROM. If it's a custom ROM, probably. If you're rooted (and again, if you're using a custom ROM, you probably are), you can always install it from the play store.
Update:
First off, I've already downloaded the SuperSU App from Google Play, and it's failed to obtain root abilities, so a perm root is not being acheived.
Also, I've downloaded the latest SuperSU via PC, and it's ready to go once I manage to successfully install CWM (however, if the Ace Root Kit succeeds, then using CWM to install root isn't a needed method)
I've tried continuing the process with the Fastboot setting disabled, and I didn't see any difference in the end result. It seems that recovery is successfully written, but it doesn't succeed in installing SuperSU, CWM, or busybox.
On another note, I've downloaded the busybox installer app from Google Play, and it states the phone is rooted; but runs into errors when I attempt to install (regardless of the version I select). I've run two root checking apps, and both say that the phone is not rooted.
In short, All I've been able to achieve is getting the Boot Loader unlocked.
Can you flash recovery manually from fastboot?
New Update
I just found that CWM is in fact installed. I did not realize until just now that from the HTC bootloader I had to select recovery to access it.
I placed the SuperSU.zip on the phone and installed it via CWM, as scozzar had suggested, and the phone is now rooted (verified by two root checking apps)!
From there I installed busybox via Google Play with no hiccups.
I apologize for not trying this sooner I hope that others find success. The Inspire's a great phone, and now I've made mine even better!
Yess

Yes! here is the tutorial
1- Download Android.zip and unzip it
2- make a folder called "Android" in C:/ like that: C:/Android.
3- put inside of the folder Android the files: adb.exe, fasttboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and the recovery.img
4- go to cmd and write:
cd \Android
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
READY! now you have a CWM Recovery
Sorry for my bad english

[SOLVED]Need file System/bin/debuggerd for 4.4.2 update

i need this file System/bin/debuggerd from the 4.4.1, i tried using the krt16m stock image, used this to extract it and get the debuggerd file, used es file explorer and even total commander to replace it, change its permissions to chmod 755 and root shell, but this ota just doesn't install, in twrp still getting error debuggerd file problem, i use stick mount and i dont know why but i deleted the debuggerd.backup file:crying::crying::crying:
Update: I used this which I extracted from 4.4.2 odexed rom from here, I can confirm it is working, just check the sha1sum which should be 1A008709F0945E8EACA2166D143622EB8D94C3D0
Also i used adb commands to push the file from here
Hi,
If that helps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eu2x01fkr11x9rh/debuggerd.
Don't forget to set the correct permissions, like this:

Thank you, it works! Although I had the debuggerd.backup file, renamed it to debuggerd and still failed. But with your file, I upgrade to 4.4.2 successfully. BTW, I use Root Explorer to change the right.
