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.

you should have psted it in q&a
check your chargemon
if you're using the same one you used on your mini you'll fail
find the one for minipro
check you have correct permissions
ooooo
you installed busyboxinstaller
did you install busybox from busyboxinstaller?
because you didnt mention it...
Use this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4VZEIYUI
Its a CWM Recovery. I use this recovery on stock rom.
Just unrar those three files to your sdcard, and copy to /system/bin with Root Explorer.
Do Not forget change premission to 644 (rwxr-xr-x) on those three files.
from where can i get minipro chargemon and yeah iv installed busybox ......and i m sorry for posting here iv never posted anything before

You can go into recovery mode and then Unroot. If this doesn't work, flash the Stock ROM you want to install.

nice to see you here friends..,
If you are comfortable with adb , then do the following to unroot your phone.
1. Boot into recovery.
2. Mount system in RW mode.
3. Remove superuser apk from /system/app
4. Remove su binary /system/bin/ and /system/xbin
This method is a crude one because the busybox will still be there. But busybox is good thing to be there. You can play with some native linux command without any harm as su is not there.
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".

Hello there. As you will notice, I am new to this forum. I own the Xperia U (ST25i) handset, and currently run the .564 firmware. Unfortunately for me and multiple others, my bootloader is locked, and my phone is also SIM locked to Three UK. Now, I am aware that for users with an Xperia S, there is a method to obtain root access through downgrading to Gingerbread, then running a script of some sort and updating to ICS. But, as there is not an ICS update for the Xperia U as of yet, this method does not work. But I'm thinking; surely if the exploit RUNS in gingerbread, it could get access to system files and such, without the need of ICS? My understanding is slim, granted. But I'm familiar with rooting, ADB commands and the Android file structure.
I would like for anybody with knowledge to help in this, as it could potentially be a breakthrough in rooting all NXT Xperia devices without losing warranty.
Many thanks,
-Pokoby
UPDATE
Having modified the .bat files and testing both the original and the modified versions of them, I can confirm they do not work. The problem lies in gaining root shell access. ADB shell always comes up with a $, rather than a #. This means there is no access to any of the files in /system/, /data/ or any derivatives. Unfortunately, that is where all of the files used to root are kept. I would love to work at a way around, and will help in any way I can.

I have a xperia U with LB also. I´m not a developer but it would be great if someone could help with this idea.

Well, it'd be a tonne of help if you'd test my work with me
I've managed to get shell root, but for some reason it still will not let me push files to /system/ or to the /data/ partitions. Finding out a workaround. Although, I've noticed a "recovery" folder created in /mnt/sdcard/ by default (after I factory restored my ST25i). Wondering if the phone crashes, it'd load a .sin or .img file from it?
If anyone can help, do all NXT line devices have this folder in their /mnt/sdcard?
-Pokoby
Never noticed that. I´m upgrading my software and i you´l see if i have one named recovery.
Edit: I also have that folder. Any idea?

Kind of. On one of my friends' crappy Chinese android phones had one, and it booted either a .elf or recovery.img file from it if the system crashed in some way (as in total lock up, not just an app force closing). I may have to test this, but Sony aren't stupid, so I reckon it'll have something to do with engineering.
This is a folder created by system because i deleted and made a hard reset and the foder was there again. What is the purpose of that folder? How can we use it?

So far, I put the file for ClockworkMod Recovery in there. I made a batch file which essentially sends a couple hundred bizarre requests through ADB, which crashed the phone. Phone froze, did a reboot but no luck. I don't think there's any prime reason for it.
it´s not possible to put a rooted image file in there and use it somehow?
nope

More serious now.
Why does exist that folder?
Well good luck.
Realising that the recovery folder was relatively pointless from a rooting standpoint, I have managed to compile a bunch of .bat files which can and have successfully rooted my Xperia U. I believe I'll need to get permission from whoever made zergRush to distribute this, unless somebody tells me otherwise. Nevertheless, it is a modified version of zergRush. If you want technical details, PM me about it and I'll be happy to talk. But all it does is gain shell root access and push files, in a very similar way to that of the Xperia S rooting method.
I'll hopefully have an upload later today, but in preparation:
Use Flastool to flash the stock .564 firmware
Wipe EVERYTHING in Flashtool
Reflash the .564 firmware without wiping /data/ and such (Not too sure if necessary, but is required in the process)
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed for ADB and such (A no brainer)

will there ever be a way to root without wiping data etc? i've only recently upgraded to ics, and my phone is set up exactly as i want it now, except battery life is awesome, so i want to root so that i can use setcpu or similar to underclock.

Which phone are you using? There isn't an ICS ROM for the Xperia U. If you have the Xperia S, there's a seperate rooting guide available on these forums
Did you realy found way to root Xperia U,cant wait you upload files.
Hope it will work because I just need root,custom kernel is pointless.

Gonna have a go at some ADB pushing and pulling. Might do some little tweaks in build.prop, as a test. Will keep you all updated, and will hopefully release soon!

Use script that will just add lines to build.prop instead of replacing it whole if possible.

I tried that already but installation failed
I'm just throwing out suggestions. Maybe try installing ES file explorer and set system as r/w from there.
What is this one click root app? I'm not familiar with it

I made a guide for how to root the Sony Xperia Z3v. You may use Kingroot as you wish, but be advised that some unknown server is pulling data from your phone from wherever it may be.
