[Q] Rooted KK and not-working AdAway - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi
I have problem with using AdAway on my Z3TC.
I have successfully rooted my device. Now I'm on stock KK with root and locked back BL.
I installed AdAway but it doesn't want to work. There is problem with hosts file.
I found that I have to change permissions for /system to -rw-rw-rw and for file host too. But the problem is I can't. When I'm trying to change permissions I got info: Changing permissions was not successful. And it doesn't matter what Explorer I use.
Any ideas? Of course there is root permission for explorer... May the locked Bootloader be the problem (I doubt...)

To write in system you have to install from the recovery ricdefeat
https://github.com/dosomder/SonyRICDefeat/blob/master/RICDefeat.zip

I didn't installed TWRP after relocking BL.
I tried now and there is another problem (looks similar)

ADB asked for root permission during installation, I agreed.
And after all recovery is not installed...

I see where the problem is. You can not write in system because you need ricdefeat, but to install XZDualRecovery and flash from there ricdefeat need to write in "system"
I'm afraid you have to start over. Is necessary Flash Ricdefeat from the TWRP recovery before it is erased.
Read here (where it says "To install rooted Stock"):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...t/root-root-locked-bootloader-sgp621-t3013534 (relatively speaking there nicely explains the steps to take and what order , replace firmware sgp621 -> sgp611)
or my tutorial in Spanish I did not know if you know the language:
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=966040 (Part B)
---
I will try to explain what I would do, I'm using google translator if not understood:
1- unlock bootloader
2- install advanced stock kernel
3- Now there are two options:
** 3A) Create pre-rooted firmware. Copy firmware pre-rooted and ricdefeat.zip on the tablet. Login to TWRP and flash firmware then ricdefeat, and restart at the end.
** 3B) Copy to tablet the ricdefeat file. Go to TWRP recovery, flash ricdefeat and restart. With flashtool , install on the tablet only the kernel, using the original firmware.
4- Start android and restore TA
5- Install XYDualRecovery to have a custom recovery

unfortunately root not working on the new 4.0.2.a.0.62
which phone?
my device is xperia neo ... also arc, play, and other phones have received the update
unfortunately the only way to root after updateing to 4.0.2.a.0.62 is to flash the 4.0.2.a.0.42 Kernal with flashtool, Im pretty sure you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash original SE Kernals... so just flash the old Kernal and you should be able to root again..
Otherwise if its not too late for other users I would just stay away from the new update until there is an easy rooting method, the update doesn't offer any real advantages.. AFAIK only a few minor bug fixes.

Update seems to be out for Middle East and Africa only atm
Croatia (Europe) still have .42 we dont have new updates.
And yes, new version still not rootable

[Q] Root help - "Read only file system"

Hi, any help with this one? I get as far as being able to push su and busy box but get "failed, read file system only" or "directory doesn't exist" Thanks in advance!
model PMID700
Android version 2.3.1
kernel version 2.6.32.27
build number 20110918.170336
Firmware version 2.2
I also have this tablet. The issue is the file system is cramfs which is read only so we can't move files to any /system folder. This is where every current one click root tool is failing.
On the positive side it appears we have shell root.
This is the output from doomlord's v3 root script:
Code:
...
--- copying busybox to /system/xbin/
/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Read-only file system
--- correcting ownership
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: No such file or directory

--- cleaning

ALL DONE!!!
Is there anyone out there that has converted a cramfs image to ext3 (or possibly something else, not sure what this supports yet)?
i got cat /proc/mounts to work in terminal emulator once and i did notice some others partitions were marked ext3 so hopefully a conversion would be possible i just don't know how and i cant seem to get the mounts again
*edit* cat /proc/mounts works in terminal emulator everytime
attached the important part of the output
Cool that's the same thing I'm seeing.
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /system cramfs ro,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock7 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock6 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
I suppose its a little ambitious for me to try to go directly to ext3 so what i think i will try to do is to try to download the system image from the phone and then modify it with the proper files (from doomlord's oneclick v3) so it can be rooted.
I will update this thread with my progress.
Returned it...I'm all for tinkering, but not willing to go that deep good luck!

I rooted my Mango once... and can't do it now o.O

OK, here's what I've done. I downgraded and rooted my SK17 several hours ago, and then removed some bloatware. everything went great, but then I decided I want to replace stock camera app with this one. as I didn't know how to do it, I thought "hey, why don't just delete the SemcCameraUI.apk from system/app and replace it with downloaded one"? so I did it, but it still didn't want to work. so I tried to reboot the phone. the app still wasn't working [by then I guessed it's not the way it's done], and then Root Explorer decided that it doesn't want to work with such a stupid human and told me that it can't delete the apk nor change the permissions because it's a read-only file. and the SuperUser app was force-closing.
so I flashed the phone with .58 again, I learnt that I lost the root, so I tried rooting it again, and then I got the message from the zergRush script:
failed to copy 'files\SuperUser.apk' to 'system/app/./SuperUser.apk': Read-only file system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
any suggestion what should I do to root it again?
note: every time I flashed .ftf file, I was unchecking "wipe data", "wipe cache" and "wipe apps log".

There's your fault.
As I had suspected it..
The anti-virus removes the ZergRush file even from the .zip or .rar file..
Disable anti-virus, download the rootingkit files again and the unpack and root your phone..
NOTE: While rooting, using flashtool, flashing kernel, please disable anti-virus temporarily.
And also while rooting your phone close flashtool if it's open.
all done, thanks! turns out I'm too dumb to remember that antivirus can peek inside zipped files.
btw, can anyone hint me how to replace the camera app with the one I was trying to?

And flash the MDPI-GB-CamExtreme.zip file using CWM..
It's only for stock ROM I guess.
And don't forget to backup first using CWM.

[QUESTION] Rooting a read-only device.

Hello Guys!
This is my first post on the forum, I will try to make myself as clear as possible. I have got a LG Optimus L5 (known as Swift L5), which I am trying to root. But there is a problem. I have been doing a bit of research, and I have found out that the Optiums L series are read only (the internal storage). And because they are read-only, I cant push the files onto the device, in other words I cant root the device! This is really freaking me out a bit. I hope You guys can help me solve my problem. Best regards
Please help guys
Again the problem was not looking for specific device forum.

Ok. I read the tutorial and there is no file to be pushed in /system partition. What are you basically trying to do?

You aren't understanding me. I didn't see ANYTHING in guide that was to be pushed in any partition that returns with read only error.
I was asking that what you were trying to push when you got that error. I know that you're trying to root. Tell me what I need to know to solve your problem
I suggest you to read the guide again thoroughly and then tell me WHERE you are getting error.
I get the error, when I start root.bat:
Code:
DON'T TOUCH THE DEVICE OR UNPLUG WHILE ROOTING!
PUSH FILES

* daemon started successfully *

You will notice, that I get Read-only file system and permission denied errors, as well as No such file or directory. Does that mean, that my rooting package is corrupt?

My best bet would be to post in the thread I gave you. They know more than me about your device
