Hi
After rooting to r2ba026 last night, everything went well unti i discovered today that all the apps i downloaded cannot be installed anymore. It says "..... could not be installed on this phone". I have the latest busybox installed on the market. I can install apps easily from the market. Please HELP! I dont want to redo the rooting anymore
In settings then applications, is your 'unknown sources' option checked?
Sent from my rooted 026 x10i using swype via xda!!
Yes, that option is checked. I thought Il solve it by rooting again, but after about an hour after root, the problem comes back. I use to file "full r2ba026 from any rom" something like that, then apply the fix.

I think the culprit is Titanium Backup. I manually install my apps after rooting and the problem was solved.
Hmm.. odd! I don't have that issue but I gues you could try it!

Maybe one of my backup app f*ck my system. I just installed all of it manually and the problem never came back
well I rooted again last night but the prob is back this morning. Manually installing everything and all settings is gonna be a severe pain. Is there an alternative to titanium if its that which is causing this?

Hi
I recently rooted to the latest root 26. Everything is working well but for some reason Mediascape and Timescape are not working?
The error says that Timescape/Mediascape has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I searched the forums and couldnt find a solution? I rooted 2 times and the results were the same.
Thanks for the help.
I also have this error with Timescape.
did you by any chance root from something like 023-026 using the root from any rom to 026 file? cuz I've seen a few people that have had this problem.. try getting root 024 first, then download the update 024-026, should be fine after!!
hope it helps!!
Sent from my rooted 024 x10i using swype via xda!!
I was having problems like this when I tried to upgrade from 023. So I re-rooted, following the root process steps as normal. Then applied the 026 patch and all is working fine.
If all else fails, try-re-rooting.
thanks for the quick response,
also are you guys facing any issues with installing apps from the sd?
Try to reinstall the Timescape and Mediascape from the system/app folder, Initially it will give error command at the end of the installation. Afterall check whether Mediascape is working or not. if not try again- this time it must work.
Make sure that to do same with mediascape plugin.
I updated with SEUS to 026 and used the exploid/mini root and mediascape works fine here. Might be worth a shot to just do a standard restore and use a userland root method.

I bought an HTC Incredible a month and a half ago. I had my phone "temporarily" rooted with Z4 Root for about a month no problem. Over the weekend I went into Titanium Backup to unfreeze an app and it says I don't have root privileges. Super User now says it wants to update and then errors out. I power cycled and ran Z4 Root again and it says it worked, but still no Super User. I have read a little here and there on the internet but have not been able to figure out why this happened. I read OTA update may have caused it, but I don't remember receiving any updates and I also noticed Z4 Root is not in Market anymore and pretty much most of the links to it on the web are dead now. Were did it go? Anybody know whats up with this?
Also, I was wondering if doing a factory reset will restore the apps I froze with Titanium Backup? I want to do a restore so I can make a clean backup. I am planning on checking out Unrevoked3.

I'm Not Sure If You Still Need Z4Root But.... Here You Go!!
z4 help
Z4 has not worked on my droid since the update to 2.2.1 anyone know what I can do.
I also need to re-root my phone.... didn't notice until today that the update took away superuser permissions... tried downloading z4root and it says that application will not work on this phone
still no help?
Just use unrevoked. It's effortless and just got updated for all phones. It gives you superuser privileges
After lots of searching and the links to z4root on these forums not working, I finally unrooted and then rooted my 2.2.1 Droid X.
Went to droidhut dot webs dot com on my Droid X<--- wont let me post links since I'm new to the forums
Clicked on the Motorola root/unroot link at the top
downloaded the z4root from there by clicking - "CLICKING HERE"
unrooted my Droid X - let Z4 do its thing
let the phone reboot
tried temp root - didn't work -so I tried permanent boot and it worked perfectly
2.2.1 rooted
Z4root can no longer root the new Sony Ericsson X10 update 2.0.2.A.0.24. I hope that the devs are still working on it because it was such a great app!
Z4root
just rooted my LG Optimus M..deleting all bloatware..thnx
im using x10 mini pro running on 2.1... z4 has been running for hours now, but no luck yet... help needed... T___T
My anti virus program says it contain trojan. Will this harm my pc
@ PMGRANDS
cannot download this file on pc or droid 2 phone....pc says search for file to open this type of program...phone says download not supported any help please
Unrevoked
Unrevoked currently only works for htc devises and z4 works for motorola devices
Thanks For All Of theReplies
Thank you everyone for all of your replies, sorry I have not been more interactive with this thread. I did manage to get everything worked out and figured I would share my results. It turned out all I had to do to get Z4 Root to work again was give my device a factory reset through HBOOT. Once I did that I was able to to fire up Z4 Root and get Titanium Backup going, etc.
I just wanted to post this to let you all know I figured this out and appreciate the responses. I am no longer using Z4 Root, I ended up rooting with Unrevoked. Everything is working great, I essentially was using Z4 Root before so I could use Titanium backup, but now the possibilities I have are endless!! I have been having so much fun playing with roms, themes, etc. I am new to all of this, but I am a tech Junkie so I am catching on fast. I recommend to anyone who is just getting into this to DO YOUR RESEARCH before modifying your device so you know what you are getting yourself into!! Thanks again everyone!
Z4root no longer working
Runnig 2.1 with the latest update with multitouch. My Z4root no longer works. Sideloaded the newest post release from here and installed, it is still not working. When I go to run it, Z4 starts up and either freezes my screen or runs forever on running exploit. I have busybox and superuser already. Any suggestions?
It would appear that Z4Root is just not going to work with Droid 2 and the latest OTA update. I'm starting to really hate Android phones.
So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.

you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:

Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DON´T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed
I have a X10 Mini Pro with fw 2.1-1 on which I can't seem to install Busybox, and as a result xrecovery and custom ROMs. It rooted fine with SuperOneClick.
I downloaded Titanium Backup (free version) and installed Busybox 1.16.0 from there (which is confirmed by Titanium) but according to some sources this Busybox version is only for use with Titanium Backup. This would be confirmed by Root Check which says the device is rooted but does not have Busybox. Next I tried the Busybox Installer from the Market but all versions fail with a generic fail to install error message. Finally I tried this thread which suggests installing an apk but that failed with a "problem parsing the package" error in Root Explorer.
Have to admit I'm a iOS user which I of course jailbreak until the cows come home, so this phone has me baffled. Rooting, installing xrecovery and custom ROMs on a ZTE Blade was also very strait-forward, but I just can't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
Any ideas are much appreciated!
Hey, the thread you linked is from the mini forum, not the mini pro.
Look in this one and see if it helps with anything.
Thanks for the link, used to install xrecovery but it still doesn't work. I can see the installation happening, the file permissions being changed, and finally getting a "done" and the phone rebooting but pressing the back-key during boot does nothing.
I assume this is still because of the lack of Busybox being installed (Root Check confirms this). It's a prerequisite of xrecovery after all, and the script doesn't install Busybox outside of what Titanium Backup does (which, from what I've read, is not a "true" Busybox).
Therefore - how can I make sure a standalone Busybox is installed?

Thanks for that. Ran it but Busybox was again not installed, and xrecovery does not run as a result. I'm starting to think this is just plain weird - how can something that works on other phones not work on mine?
Any idea how I reinstall the latest original SE fw? Thinking that I'll do that and run this install right after. Perhaps my messing around has damaged what I have.

Run Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) or repair with pc companion. After fresh flash, run that script for both root and xrecovery, should work flawlessly
Sent from my X10minipro using XDA Premium App
That, unfortunately, does not work. SEUS says there's no software which is fair enough if I'm on the latest fw, but the repair option in Companion says (and I quote): "there is no new software for your phone yet". Absurd, as I want to repair not upgrade.
Any ideas? Or should I just get another iPhone?
The option to repair is really small, but it's there. Try this instead:

download that, run it, repair phone, run script.

I'll have another stab at it when I get home tonight though.
i always update using SEUS, of course it tells you that u have the latest fw, but there are still an option to "Install" the fresh fw...just done it this morning

When it tells you have that you have the latest software, in the bottom right corner it should still have a button for "Install", click that and will display a confirmation that you want to clear all data. Select yes and it should begin downloading/installing
I believe that busybox is installed in your x10... No matter what use it for.
Now try this link for your xrecovery and isntall manually.

One thing that doesn't work is I can't buy anything on the Play market, I get an error message. In addition for some reason I can't upgrade to the recent ICS r1a upate.
I thought I'd update using the official update. Hopefully getting back a working Play market again. I kniow I'll lose root but can then follow the recent root instructions for ICS.
So before doing anything, I assume I need to turn on OTA notification using AiO first, is that all I need to do? Should I look out for anything. Any advice much appreciated.

Seeing as you have root, use something like Titanium Backup if the normal App browser cant help you.. try clearing the cache data and wiping your Play stores data as well as some of the other google services.. then if prompted it should permit you to download apps.. u can also use the AiO tool to hack your play store so u can install other apps
best of luck
but if you are set on reflashing your Tab, reactivation the notifications should do the trick, im not too sure bout regaining root after that though

Followed this method, but first changed region to US and got the most recent ICS update. Then ran the automatic ICS root method and worked first time, got root back :good: was very easy
For some reason lost the Play market app, so ran the modded market option from the AiO tool and got it back. Not tried to buy anything yet.

Yes now on r5, looks pretty good:good:
Still got a problem with the play store, can't buy anything. Tried clearing data etc makes no difference. Notice I'm still on v3.5.19 so tried to install latest apk but that fails get a message that says 'Application not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed'.
So wonder if this problem is related to not being able to buy from the store.
Any ideas how to get round this, wondered whether I need to restore tablet to factory settings a try again

Have you tried AIO to installed moded play store?
I installed the modded store when I initially rooted the tablet and think that was the start of the problem. Then ever since I've not been able to buy from the store using the app.
So I've tried to update it to the latest version but without success. Get an error message every time.
