Losing root after reboot

I seem to be losing root after rebooting. This is a major issue for me as I have the Z3 set up with no soft keys and navigate using GMD Gesture. So when root dissappears I cannot navigate around the phone or exits apps etc.
I have narrowed it down to a potential issue with 'unicon' xposed module, which basically changes the icons at system level. I cannot say for sure that this is causing the issue but it looks very likely.
Also without root I cannot uninstall Supersu or Xposed, but with many reboots and managing to disable and then re-enable Supersu through system settings I now have root again. But as soon as I reboot it's gone again.
Very strange issue never encountered this before.
Some info about my Z3:
ANDROID 4.4.4
LOCKED BOOTLOADER
EDIT:
i have noticed a few more issues:
power button on side is not responding any more.
root is working now that supersu is uninstalled
i cannot boot into recovery both manually and through NDR utilities
If you are in a position to help, please please please do!

You need to disable the RIC
If you are unsure just flash an advanced stock kernel from the development section.

What will this achieve? I have completely killed an Xperia Z before and want to make 100% sure before i proceed.
Also please notice my bootloader is LOCKED, i accidentally stated it was unlocked in the OP. I cannot flash a kernel with a locked bootloader can i?

I read your post when you said you had an unlocked boot.
No you cannot flash a custom kernel.
OK, you will need to ensure you installed the recovery correctly.
Run the installer again for dual recovery and post the out put here.
If it goes correctly it will sort everything out for you

I have just this minute managed to correctly install the recovery. Will i be good from now on?
How do you recommend installing Supersu? When i try to install through the recovery the phone just reboots normally. Should i install a flshable zip instead of installing from playstore.
How will i prevent this happening again?

I would flash a stock FTF and re root again from the beginning. You have something wrong. Then install recovery and flash a pre-rooted version of the latest ROM

There is no lollipop for any sony phones so no one knows
Unless you mean custom roms and of course they are rootable.
Just flash a .93 FTF, root, install recovery and then flash a prerooted zip made with PRFCreator.
EDIT
If you think that backup does not have this issue on it then restore it.
However, if you are unsure its best to start again and then you can eliminate the problem.

so everything was great, then i installed the following apps:
GMD Gesture
Udn pro (xposed)
Xblast (Xposed)
Flat bars (xposed)
I now have no root again. Completely sucks i just set the goddamn phone up again and now back to square one!
How can one of these apps have the power to remove root?! my backup works flawlessly and i can reboot and still have root, it is 100% one of these apps

It will not be removing root... but it might be messing with it.
Its a slow process but try this
Restore the backup and setup again, then take a backup before you insall those 4, then start adding them one at atime, take a backup in between each one so you can restore it. It may be that on their own they are fine but together they could conflict.
At any point you may want to take a logcat and share it... Just a thought..

the thing is ive managed to get rid of xposed and all modules and now supersu is mucked up and wont stick after a reboot.
Therefore one of these apps must not only be messing with root but changing some system file to make Supersu not stick after a reboot?
Does that make sense? My responses may well go downhill from here, I'm losing the will to live
I will try that and post back. Thanks

In which case, go back to stock and start again.. The process works, somewhere along the line you have borked something.
Flash .93, root with griefrrot, install recovery flash a prerooted latest firmware..
That process works.

Quick update: i have found the problem app and identified it as "LG Optimus Lockscreen". This app was asking for root privileges and was somehow disabling the home button through a setting to ensure someone couldnt unlock the phone by pressing the home button. It was also causing the issue with losing root.
Shame because the lockscreen is awesome

Moto G (1st gen) OTA to Lollipop fails

Hi folks, so, I received OTA update for my Moto G (XT1032).
Phone was rooted (I did unroot from SuperSU). Also, I've re-installed Stock recovery (to make sure) and wiped cache/dalvik.
But, update still fails.
I don't have much root-related soft (like Xposed etc) installed - so pretty sure this should not cause an issue.
But still, update fails.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot/make it work? Maybe installing OTA somehow from recovery (custom one, TWRP)?
Any comments - much appreciated. I guess I'm not alone in this, but still...
Thanks

Have to install stock ROM again then update it via ota. Could also try flashing an ota update file via the official recovery of your phone.

Yep, my guess was the same. As per official recovery - I'll try adb sideload, but first time it couldn't find phone (all drivers installed and up-to-date).

Well, I might misunderstood, but:
I have official recovery (fastboot is mode of it, I guess, when U press Power+volume key?)
I've read about adb sideload zip_name_of_OTA.zip
I don't know any other way to install OTA apart from let phone handle it OR adb sideload.

Just load it onto your phone before you flash it. Your ROM does work.

Got this, screenshot in attachment.
Fingerprints are wrong. In build.prop - I can see it's fine, fingerprint of current 4.4.4. - matches expected.
But as soon as update starts - it says that 4.4.2 is fingerprint of my OS. Bollocks.
Edited OTA zip, edited some metadata file...
Why it won't install on pretty clean phone - I can't understand...Previous installs of OTA went fine with root etc.

i feel ya same thing here, than i tryed installing a stock lollipop from here via twrp witch ended up messing my phone with failing the procedure wondered around couldnt revert to stock since im a noob and didnt even backed up the rom,but at the and of the day thank god for the cm12.1 finally menaged to make my phone running again at least

Greetings, I have the same problem, it is the last screen that appears when you install the update, and then restarts it goes off the screen update error ...

To anyone having issues:
1. Make sure you're on completely stock 4.4.4 (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and use only untouched 4.4.4 version for your phone if you have to reflash before continuing)
2. Make sure you're on stock recovery (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763)
*Uninstall XPOSED if using it
3. I personally let update run on its own after reverting everything to stock.

Yep.
The solution is backup data, restore stock last firmware using fastboot guide posted in this forum and not even update apps (cancel gmail registration and everything it asks when it first starts) ONLY update motorola update services so you can get the ota again an install it. If you have the ota downloaded you can flash it through recovery but using the last recovery version (.61) and of course last firmware version. If you guys flash it all through fastboot, it should install w/o any problems.

Custom recovery on Concept MM ROM?

Hi all, I've been trawling through the Z3 threads trying to find a definitive answer to a question I have regarding regarding how to get a custom recovery working on the latest version of the AOSP Concept ROM, but so far have only gotten confused with all the conflicting information. My old Nexus 5 was a piece of cake to flash/root compared to the Z3!
In short - is it possible to simply flash a custom recovery.img through fastboot? If so, which one is compatible with the concept ROM?
I have a D6603 with an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks in advance.

Gave up on this but found this post, which might help other people in the same boat as me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65675078&postcount=1513

Scratch that second post. Finally figured it all out - why is there no sticky guide about this??
If anyone else is getting twitchy trying to figure out how to install a custom recovery + ROM on their Z3, this is waht you do::
1. Flash a clean Stock KK 23.0.A.2.93 firmware (for DD6603. Other models need a different stock KK ROM afaik) using flashtool.
2. Boot phone and enable USB debugging + mock locations in Developer Options,
3. Run giefroot 3.1 bat to install root.
4. Run latest version of XZDualRecovery installer bat to install custom recovery.
5. Download a pre-rooted zip of the LP/MM ROM you want, put on SD card and flash thru recovery.
7. Wipe Cache for good measure and reboot.
6. Boot back into recovery, flash RICDefeat.zip if needed, to allow R/W functionality for apps like Adaway

Where did you get RICdefeat.zip?
I have SU after flashing Recroom but my Recovery is gone.

[GUIDE] How to Unlock Bootloader, Root and Install Gapps on Samsung J3 Pro SM-J3110

I bought the Samsung J3 Pro from China and it doesn't come with Gapps.
The phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
Here are the steps I took to resolve this and install Gapps, but my stock recovery cannot access external SD card and ADB push. But at least I can use GAPPS.
1. Unlocking Bootloader - You need to CROM to unlock the bootloader. Install this apk.
h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS4U-ssG4pig6VYE
2. Install Root - Use ODIN （h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r)
and flash this root file under AP (h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTCam_wn2LVf6X8C)
3. Install Super User - If you get boot up after flashing the root access, you are almost done. Install the Superuser.apk . (h double t p s : double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS-44wy4I0c6UD4e)
4. Install GAPPS - As I can't flash gapps.zip using the OpenGapss due to no access to external SD Card using the stock recovery (no CWM or TWRP for this model) , I use this app from this website (h double t p :double-slashes world wide web.gugeanzhuangqi.com/)
or download apk here (h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTKheRRLQoimhO3a)
I apologise for inconvenient links as this is my first post . I hope the above can help someone ... but I still need some help to enable access to external SD card under the stock recovery, or wait for a proper CWM or TWRP recovery...:good:

Just a heads up, I managed to root using ODIN and installed TWRP and have access to external files during recovery. I then installed GAPPS, but still got "Google Framework has stopped working" when trying to sign into Google Play. I'll let you know if I have any more success.

Hello,

Yes a yellow triangle appears on the boot screen. I flashed TWRP, wiped the original ROM and installed a new one that comes with google play by default, google GPS services enabled and has the Chinese bloatware removed, didn't even need the phone rooted. I did however manage to root the phone before, although I can't remember the software I used. I left it unrooted in the end, just because I was happy enough with the system without.

Firstly, I'm going to assume you know how to boot your phone into download mode and that you know how to use ODIN. If not, watch a youtube video, it's fairly simple stuff.
You'll need a decent size of SD card to back up to. I think the original ROM itself is >4GB.
Steps:
1. Flash TWRP using ODIN.
2. BACK UP YOUR FILES (Including system files) USING TWRP TO YOUR SD.
3. Wipe everything except your external SD using TWRP.
4. Flash the new ROM using ODIN, there are four files, one for each section in ODIN.
5. (Optional) Reflash TWRP as the installation of the ROM removes it.
As always, I can't stress enough how important it is to back up beforehand, you are wiping everything that's not on your external SD.
Also note that you have to wipe the old ROM, it doesn't work if you just try to install the new one on top of the old one.
I found the default English keyboard in this ROM had a few mistakes (It's originally a Vietnamese ROM I believe, although it has an English language option), so I downloaded google keyboard from play and that fixed it.
Enjoy

Finally, I flashed TWRP using ODIN first.
Then I flashed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip using TWRP and installed SuperSU v2.79 after boot on my ROM original of China.
The root works fine but the GPS no longer works and it makes me angry
I used many gps fix and gps test without results :crying::crying::crying:
I'm french so I was afraid that the Vietnamese ROM don't have the French language
Maybe I'll buy a new model to see if root works without problems because I don't know if others have rooted the Chinese ROM Stock perfectly.
I so liked this phone :crying:
Very thanks a lots for your help :good:

No problem. Just so you know, it has all of the major languages. French, Italian etc. I scrolled past them when I was searching for the English option.

h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS4U-ssG4pig6VYE
2. Install Root - Use ODIN （h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTE3Lp1mHOJnAr-r)
and flash this root file under AP (h double t p s: double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTCam_wn2LVf6X8C)
3. Install Super User - If you get boot up after flashing the root access, you are almost done. Install the Superuser.apk . (h double t p s : double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiS-44wy4I0c6UD4e)
4. Install GAPPS - As I can't flash gapps.zip using the OpenGapss due to no access to external SD Card using the stock recovery (no CWM or TWRP for this model) , I use this app from this website (h double t p :double-slashes world wide web.gugeanzhuangqi.com/)
or download apk here (h double t p s :double-slashes 1drv.ms/u/s!AgNcMhBajz7DiTKheRRLQoimhO3a)
I apologise for inconvenient links as this is my first post . I hope the above can help someone ... but I still need some help to enable access to external SD card under the stock recovery, or wait for a proper CWM or TWRP recovery...:good:

Hi,brother,would you mind tell me how to create the flashable custom root file , which mentioned in your post? i have ever tried many times , to create a custom flashable boot.img, like what you done, but failed to flash it to my SM-j3110 via Odin, i suspect something wrong with the space address of the image file...
Appreciate if you can share with me how to make the flashable custom boot image !! Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you meant by creating a flashable custom root file. I just used the steps below to enable root so that I can install GAPPS using the 3rd party installer :
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install the rooted ROM (check only the box "AP" in ODIN)
3. install Superuser
4. Install the apk for GAPPS installation.
You need to follow the sequence.

Just a heads up, I managed to root using ODIN and installed TWRP and have access to external files during recovery. I then installed GAPPS, but still got "Google Framework has stopped working" when trying to sign into Google Play. I'll let you know if I have any more success.

Hi , you managed to find a TWRP recovery for this phone model ?

MobAndro said:
Finally, I flashed TWRP using ODIN first.
Then I flashed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip using TWRP and installed SuperSU v2.79 after boot on my ROM original of China.
The root works fine but the GPS no longer works and it makes me angry
I used many gps fix and gps test without results :crying::crying::crying:
I'm french so I was afraid that the Vietnamese ROM don't have the French language
Maybe I'll buy a new model to see if root works without problems because I don't know if others have rooted the Chinese ROM Stock perfectly.
I so liked this phone :crying:
Very thanks a lots for your help :good:

Root Japanese S7 edge SCV33 thats being booted up with SC-02H Firmware

After carrier unlocking Japanese S7 edge SCV33 model, the firmware changes to SC-02H.
To root the device ( Nougat )
First enable OEM unlocking from the developers options.
Flash this TWRP via odin v3.12.5
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634747128
After installing, Please backup the whole rom to your SD card.
If you have any problem backing up. You can flash the stock recovery image in the link below and your device will boot up fine.
If the TWRP backup is a success,
First make sure your device boots up with this Twrp installed before rooting.
If the device boots up, then flash the SuperSu. If the device doesnot boots up, flash the stock recovery.
Workaround:
If the device fails to boot up with this twrp, Flash the super su. Turn off the device, then flash the Stock recovery via odin and bootup the phone. See if Super Su is installed.
Flash this flashable SuperSu v2.82.zip
http://www.supersu.com/download
You will loose root after a factory reset. Flash again!!!!
DONOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT BACKING UP.
First boot will loop for few times.
YOUR SIM CARD WILL RUN FINE
After rooting, incase you want your stock recovery, or your device doesnot boots up. Flash this via odin.
S7 edge SC-02H Stock recovery image
All credit goes to the rightful owners.
If this doesnt help and you fail to boot up the device or you messed up the device..... just restore from twrp and flash the stock recovery. You will have your device back to normal like it was before.
Hit thanks if this helped.
Below are some screenshots with SuperSu and all japanese apps removed!
You can also change the boot animation of this device by replacing corresponding botanimation files.
Backup the stock bootanimation files first.
Navigate to ;
root/system/media and replace the boot animation files.
Link is below.
And dont forget to set their permissons to ( r-w-r-r )
UPDATE:
Xposed also working....
download link below.
Xposed installer from PurifyOs....

So, i found a new rom for our device
Found a new rom for our device... anybody would like to test it???
Flash the rom via ODIN....
Caution: I have experienced loosing my imei number if i perform a factory reset after installing this rom. Because of the previous nandroid backup, i was able to bring back device to previous working state. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK..
My advice is that you backup your current rom and then only FLASH.
You get the idea.
Lot of work needed in this rom.
However it is stable...
Anybody who would like to modify????
All credit goes to the rightful owner....
Features like:
inbuilt fingerprint app lock
new launcher
all japanese bloats removed
no requirement of japanese docomo country code while dialing certain numbers
samsung keyboard
many device languages
New launcher etc

Yes....
Inorder to solve the failed to mount data.... you will have to boot into twrp and then go to wipe. At the bottom left.. you will see fomat data....
You will loose all the phone memory data so first its better you backup....
Then you will have no problem.. you can boot up all ok.
to install xposed..... Flash the xposed installer from twrp and the reboot. Install the xposed apk file and there you go.. you have your Xposed.
To uninstall xposed if incase you dont like it... Uninstall the xposed apk... reboot to twrp and flash the xposed uninstaller.zip

Hey, I was just wondering, can we change our CSC codes so we can avoid getting carrier bloatware?

you can manually delete the carrier bloats using any root explorer after rooting. you can then make and save a debloated nandroid backups..
or
you can go ahead and try whatever you are feeling like to... Life is an experiment my friend.

About root, yes, i can root my phone, but the problem is nfc has been disable, i dont know why, i cant find the reason. I tried like this:
cook rom - nfc ok
flash twrp - nfc not working
re-flash stock recovery - then nfc ok
so im try by re-flash twrp and install su to root (nfc not working) then im re-flash stock recovery: result nfc not working
BTW, thank you for your tut to install xposed

The link for TWRP is dead. Any chance to get a new one?
