Hello
I've been making my own rom and suddenly i don't know what i did but su has stopped working please could someone have a look at tell me whats wrong with it and maybe if their kind fix it for me by the way when you flash it it will cut out saying it was aborted but it still works fine also after the boot screen it will go black for a little bit but thats just the first boot that does that but anyway i have su installed (the one with the blue hash) but i did have the one with the ninja on aswell but neither worked the programs i was trying to use with just said no root acses Pleease someone help thanks
My Rom

File uploaded now

Most likely its because of the old libs and new su app. You can edit the su lib, but what I suggest is you ask a developer very nicely if you could use the SU lib and SU app from there rom.
Also, it may be developing, but still should be posted under Q&A section.

Okay thanks il shall ask one
Also please could a mod move this thanks

Thread moved to Q&A.

[q] help. Urgent.

Hi. I accidentally deleted my system xbin file. Now I can't root or install xrecovery on my phone. Anybody can teach me how to restore the xbin file to the phone system? Sorry for posting it here...new member so can't post it at development...
You shouldn't be posting in development, dude! All queries go to either general or q&a

i think you should repair with SEUS and start again with rooting etc...
Which xbin are you talking about? The /system/xbin directory?
Maybe it's because the method you are using to root tries to installs the su binary in /system/xbin. Which method are you using? You could try another method, for example, if I remember well, when I used to use z4root, it installed the su binary to another directory.
Once root is working, you can use any terminal app (or adb shell) to recreate the directory.

This is a solution that surely would work.
Yeah..I'm talking bout the /system/xbin folder...I tried using z4root but it jams halfway...superoneclick doesn't work either..
I like the root option in flashtool, always worked for me when the others failed.

Use flashtool to wipe your data and get back to stock rom. Then you can do whatever you want with it.

[SOLVED] I need a favor (if it's possible). [CWM Related]

So I was bored at work and did something stupid. Now I'm wondering if there is some way to fix it without having to flash my entire phone.
Is there someway a single file can be deleted using a CWM update zip. The file is the ported version of google now and having installed it using root explorer it is stopping my phone from booting entirely.
The file is "system/app/velvet.apk".
If anyone is experienced at CWM and knows how this can be achieved then I would be extremely grateful.
SOLUTION: Flashed a stock nandroid backup of the system, managing not to lose my data.

I would imagine you could use adb to delete the file. Install the Android SDK on your computer and use adb shell to delete the offending file from bootloader mode. Havent tried it before myself, but I believe that's what adb is for amongst other things?
p.s. You should post this in Q&A forum and you might get a better response. This is not dev related.

Ok will try it at work, or at home. Thanks for the suggestion. Will post in the Q&A forum as well.
Velvet.apk isn't that the voice reg. From jellybean,that shouldn't stop your phone from booting.the app would only FC.
Adb or reflash as suggested above
Tell someone to make it cwm flashable. Boot to recovery and flash. Make a new thread or ask for this a mod to rename it.
Something like this " make velvet.apk cwm flashable".

Your issue is described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=9912
If you have trouble after that, make sure your SuperSU (or SuperUser) app is updated as well as the superuser binary. Also a good idea to make sure busybox is installed and updated if you have more issues.

Sorry about that, could have sworn I just copied and pasted the link from the thread. Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51314174&postcount=9912
That one works but the other one I posted which appears to be the same, does not. Confused..
If that stops working again, then it is linked from the OP on the Xposed Framework thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401 which oddly enough, explains this problem in the Installation section of the OP.

I'm not sure I follow you. The download should be a zip that is flashable via recovery. I was helping another member with this issue and they had to reinstall their rom and used Xposed v2.5 vs v2.5.1 and that worked for them.

[Q] Supersu question

I appologize if this is the wrong forum, please move the thread if it is.
I have a quick question for whoever can help. I have been working on a new ROM and have everything perfect now including Aroma installer. The only issue that I am having now though is that once installed, It doesnt seem to have working root. It installed supersu apk and it looks like all the files are in the correct places however when I start supersu it gives the "Supersu binary is not installed and cannot install it, this is a problem". Nothing else obviously has root either.
I would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction as to what may be causing this. Thanks in advance!

I know this supersu below ships with the system binary, You may need to extract, or download su and install it to /system/xbin before installing supersu
httpscolon//f-droiddotorg/repository/browse/?fdcategory=Security&fdid=com.koushikdutta.superuser
pull su alone here httpcolon//downloads.androidsudotcom/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
you have to fix the url, i have too low a post count to post links

Thanks but I just double checked and the su binary is in system/xbin. I have also tried re-coppying a fresh su there in the outcome is still the same.
Pretty sure it makes a difference on what phone you are building for, because sometimes there can be something in the kernel preventing it too. And what kind of rom are you making? CM? Stock based (Touchwiz, etc)? Other?
