chainfire system write (i have googled it-.-) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
at first i downloaded chainfire3d on my device and tried to install the driver but then got error that says can not write to system (or smth like it). After a while i downloaded root explorer, went to system folder, pressed r/w on top and tried again. Still keep getting the same error. Any ideas ?

Is your device rooted? You need to grant Chainfire3D root permission, otherwise it won't work.

first smartphone, i don't even know what that means. Care to explain ? Or just guide me how to root it/unroot it

Here you go!

So installed cf-root through desktop, everything went smoothly. I tried to install cf3d again but i got the same message

[Q] App in /system/app but not in drawer!!

I tried to install Gmail.apk, and decided to use Root Explorer to copy it to /system/app. I changed the permissions, rebooted, and it is indeed in the folder where I left it, but nowhere to be seen in the app drawer. It doesn´t even appear on the manage applications. I want to this to more apps, but if I can´t do to one...
I tried signing the .apk and install it: gives me a parsing error;
I tried signing a .zip file and flash through xrecovery and managed to get the file in the system/app folder, but again, nothing on the app drawer.
I tried using ADB mask, and when I try to push the app into the system, it says it couldn´t install;
I tried command line, using SDK, but doesn´t recognize "adb" command. Tried console emulator, but permission denied.
Is it me or is my mobile picking up a fight with me? Can someone help?
Why dont you just try to download it from the market and install automatically that way?

Because it doesn´t appear on my market... And I also want to install more stuff, like the new blue market from pendo, so I would like to know what to do so I can continue to install more apps like this.
There will be a reason it doesnt appear in the market for you and that will be why you cant install it
WHat rom are you running?

I´m using EWJet with custom kernel, baseband 67.
Try flashing this
Reboot and login to market, accept the agreement.
Then flash this and this in that order without rebooting inbetween

Well it seems I need to do a fresh install, since I must have done something wrong to the system files... I flashed Gapps, and ever app appears except the ones from Google (Gmail, Gtalk, etc...). Is google against me today? =)
I think I´m going to flash the rom again and before rebooting, I´ll flash Gapps, what do you think?
Sounds like a plan....
let me know how it goes
No, it didn´t work... After clean install, and flashing gapps, gmail and market disappeared... Maybe some kind of incompability between the Rom and this market?
EDIT: It still appears in the /system/app... But it refuses to appear in the app drawer.
try adding the market widget to the home screen. Long press on it and n choose android widget.
That might work.

Thanks for your effort, but it doesn´t appear the market widget. It´s like the market is only a file that is filling space in the system folder, and that doesn´t have any connection to the rest. It seems this rom isn´t compatible with other markets (which is very weird...).
Thanks for the help. If someone comes up with a soltuion to my problem, I´ll be very happy to hear it.
The only thing I can think of its that you are trying to instal 2.2 versions into a 2.1 rom.
Try finding google apps from eric will's thread about his rom.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes I remembered that too, but didn´t know there was gmail and market that were different, meaning that what works in 2.2 may not work in 2.1... If that´s the case, I better give up, since there isn´t any other verion of blue market... Oh well, green it is.
If you flash back to stock with SEUS then make backups with titanium backup you should be able to restore the 2.1 versions of gmail.
As for blue market, I think that's just for 2.2+

[Q] Moved superuser apk and broke root access

Hello. I have rooted my Galaxy SII v 2.3.6 on Gingerbread build EL29 from sprint using the SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick method from odin found in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1433101 . My super user app was working fine until I accidentally moved it using a file explorer. The super user apk is in my systems/app folder but I can no longer access the program and none of my super user apps work. When I have tried to reroot the phone the oneclick method completes and says things went as planned, but no apk and no root access is available. Can someone please help me restore my root access. Thanks in advance, and apologies if I am in the wrong forum.
Try downloading superuser from the Play Store. Delete the superuser you already have beforehand though.

Thank you for the suggestion. Two issues, when I go to the store it says the app is already installed. Also when I try to delete the existing version, I get a permissions denied message. I am still stuck here.

Try to reroot by flashing a rooted kernel, rather than SOC.

Make sure when trying to delete, mount on root explorer should be r/w not r/o

Thanks very much. I used the [e4gtauto-sfx.exe] from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 to unroot and clean up any unneeded files from the phone then I went back to the odin root and now I have restored root access. Thanks again.

[Q] Prestige 7G.....HELP PLEASE!

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I just posted it here. I have a Visual Land Prestige 7G (not 7L or 7) with android 4.1.1. I have tried EVERYTHING to root this device, but no dice. It is for my daughter, and came with LOADS of bloatware that she not only does not need, but is taking up a huge amount of space, and making the tablet run like cold molasses. I would just build a custom ROM for this thing if I knew anything about doing so. If anyone could help me get rid of this stuff, I would be immensely grateful as I have been fighting with it for days now! This is the first time I have run across a device that I can't figure out. I can usually fix things myself, or at the very least find info to guide me through the parts I did not know. I feel so defeated! lol! PLEASE someone help!
Hi,
Do you have Play store on your device? If so please search for and install SRT Appscanner and tell me if it shows any bugs listed as not fixed or vulnerable at top of your screen.

Have you tried Impactor? If not, try following the directions below. The guide was written for the Sero 7 Lt but Impactor works on many different devices, just skip the first part of the guide about accepting updates as that applies to the Sero 7 LT. If you need help installing ADB drivers use the program I suggest in the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45543527
Hope this helps!
*EDIT* i see in one of your previous posts that someone already suggested Impactor but it looks like you may not have ADB drivers working properly if Impactor cant see the device. Does it show any info if you open a command prompt and type "adb devices"?
THANK YOU!!

Ok so I installed root checker, and it says I'm rooted. I have installed superuser, and App Master. However, I still cannot delete any apps like pre installed angry birds thats taking up 60mb on the internal memory. App Master (and also tried my already installed All in One Toolbox) goes through the motions, and says successfully uninstalled, but is only uninstalling the updates. I thought maybe it was a problem with the superuser app I had installed (by ChainsDD) so I downloaded the one from ClockworkMod. When I open that one I get the message "Binary must be updated". When I click install I get "There was an error installing superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer"
Ummm.....
Nevermind. i think I fixed it. Not entirely sure what i did, but I know I had to redo the impactor. the SRT appscanner was stopping the payload. It was saying it was malicious. Super user installed after that, and it says it's uninstalling facebook now. I guess I'll see how this goes.

Ok scratch that. I am rooted, but still cannot delete bloatware! I have tried 4 uninstallers, all with the same results. Well, actually one says I need to be rooted. I downloaded two root checkers, and both say I AM rooted. Gggrrrrrrr....
Edit: Also tried delting from snap pea. It says "failed to uninstall app. Please grant SnapPea root privileges and try again" I granted SU, but still says the same thing :/

Tried titanium last night with no luck. even tried es file explorer, but tablet wont switch to rw. tried to install supersu just now, but it says installation failed. tried uninstalling the other su app and then install supersu, but no luck. seriously contemplating how far this thing would travel if i threw it out the window! lol
Further, I have also tried the basic r/w command in the terminal, (mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3) but since Im not very familiar with it, I wasn't sure what else to do. I could be wrong, but Im assuming my problem is the read only file system.
Man your lucky to get that far...rooted with impactor and downloaded and installed supersu and it is stuck updating the binary..for about 20 mins it's been saying.. "installing...please wait"

[Q] Superuser Problems Help!

Hey, Ok so i updated my Huawei u8650 to android 4.4.2 and something went wrong with my root. I can open superuser and it shows my binary and all that and it says im rooted but when i go to a app that requires root access like terminal emulator for example and i type in the command su. nothing happens it just goes to the next line. and i tried to mount my SD card partition in link2sd and it said that the script cant be created because its not allowed to su.
I thought it could be that superuser just wasn't allowing permissions but i open superuser and there's no apps, no logs or anything. I checked my settings and they're all fine and i even tried to use SuperSU instead and i still got the same thing. There's no prompt to allow access either. I don't know if the apps are just not trying to get root access or what? No app can get root permission and i need to get this fixed so i can fix some bugs on the rom. Please Help.
Thanks to all who attempt or do help. Ill be sure to hit thanks for u.

i rooted by SRSroot first then first got the error then i unrooted and re-rooted by using the kingo root method but still received the same error. they are both windows programs u can run for root on multiple devices. They use USB debugging to root then device reboots and bam your rooted.
i used those methods because i tried to just flash the binary files through cwm recovery and it never actually installed into system. The two methods above installed binary and rooted my device but i cant give root access to any apps including superuser or supersu.
If anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated because i hit a wall and don't know what to do. No apps can get root permissions and i cant fix my play store, WiFi, speakers or theme chooser until the root is properly working because the methods to fix those bugs need root to function. so please if anyone has knowledge or any idea why i have root but cant get access please help me out.

If there is a custom recovery available for your device I would recommend flashing that and then flashing the latest SuperSU.zip package in recovery. Part of the problem is the orginal Superuser (by ChainsDD) while excellent at the time is now extremely outdated and no longer really be maintained, as a result make sure you flash a Superuser package compatible with Android 4.4.2 such as the latest version of SuperSU.

I have a rooted samsung galaxy tab 3, 4.4.2 kitkat, using TWRP.
I recently downloaded GLtools from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gltools-1-29-t2828630
It's an .apk file and easily "installs" on the device. When I open up the program, I get to this screen: https://imgur.com/Td9BDWU
I check all 3 boxes. But when I click install or install using recovery, it says "Library building failed. Send crashlog to developer".
I have contacted the developer and am awaiting a reply (hopefully), but no where else have I seen this error.
I also tried to download a .zip version of Gltools and use the TWRP manager app to install it, but when I clicked "flash now", literally nothing happened.
