can confirm with fat32 tolder mount still does not work on xperia ultra. works fine on my xperia z tablet though. wondering if our root method is the problem rather than the app itself.

Hi. Continuing your question here:

Hmm, everytime I tried to mount a pair, the phone reboots, then the mounting resumes but I got the message "Error: extSdCard permission - FM could not fix the external permission and ownership. This could lead to read/write issues for apps that try to access your mounted internal sdcard folders. Please try to remount all pairs after a while manually". Never used foldermount before, so IDK what's wrong here :silly:

thanks for trying, that seems to indicate foldermount is the problem, not necessarily my chinese root. haven't had luck getting su installed in its place, but it lets me change build.prop which is what i needed to get to .510. really wanting foldermount to work so i can install more than just 14 gb of games and movies.

Thats not good... I'm waiting for my Ultra to arrive. I use foldermount normally as well. Lets hope the dev can sort it out.
Why don't you just put the movies on the external though?
maybe you need to fix your file permission. i recall i done this , previously either FM didnt work or self reboot after mount and will stuck on boot loop

can confirm remountrebootfix app does work! First i installed the superuser app from the app store, did not delete the chinese su app though as it doesn't seem to be a problem (keeping it for now), rebooted to make sure i still had root with superuser instead. then ran the superuser.bat, deleted and reinstalled busybox (smart install). Can confirm foldermount works just fine now.

360root method works directly on 510.
vroot doesn't work on 510 (if applied directly).
I myself used vroot on 475 kernel that is flashed on a 510 FW, and reflash the 510 kernel after root. Now my 510 is rooted. Also changed the chinese root apps with superSU.. Plenty of step-by-step guide in other threads in the general section

Thank you for this. I went to the 360 root site(In Chinese but used google translate to english)(Pic 1)
It redirected me to the software download page (PIC 2)
Downloaded the software but since its in chinese im completely lost. (Pic 3) Would it at all be possible if you could share with me how to go forward?
The other 360one root I found ( http://shuaji.360.cn/root/ ) only works on Chinese OS.
Thanks in advance.

Just plug your phone into your PC with 360root application running and hit the big, green, ROOT button and there you go.. Your phone will restart automatically, that means the process is done and you can close the application on your PC.
Remember the 360root requires connection to chinese server and therefore depending on your connection you might have to set up proxy on your PC. More detailed guide for this, go here.
Also, disable your antivirus, especially those that come with firewalls.
If 360root somehow doesn't work, use the 475 kernel workaround to root your 510. Guide here.
Another easy way (and more reliable) is through recovery, guide in here. But this requires unlocking your bootloader.

Just got a new dell venue 8 with 4.4.2 on it. I also bought a 64gb micro sd card for it. Having a issue getting anything to move to it. I am new to android and the reason I got the tablet is for the sd card expansion which I now not able to use. Is there something I am missing or is this locked. Seems odd to have this expansion sd if you can't access it easily.
Thanks for your help on this one.

Yes it shows up there but when I try to move anything I get a error file permission not able to write. I did format the sd card a couple of times in the venues settings thinking maybe that was the issue. It shows up there too but all i can do is format it. So not sure why that write error comes up no matter what i try to move to it.

Not sure what happened I started up the tablet and there was a ton of updates from Dell so I did those and now i can access the sd card and move stuff to it. Not sure what was in all the updates one was a firmware update but seems they corrected the issue and I don't have to go and root the device for this function. Odd how that worked out but thanks for all the help. I will in time more than likely root the device but until I get better with this OS I will be happy I can just move stuff over to the sd card.

Hello folks,
I'm at a loss currently.
I had rooted my stock .314 FW and installed XZDualRecovery.
All worked flawlessly, installing Busybox, using Titanium Backup, Adaway etc.
Now suddenly I discovered that I'm not able to remount /system read-write anymore! Root seems to work absolutely normal otherwise, it's just that if I try to remount (via ES File Explorer or manual terminal command), either nothing happens (ES File Explorer) or I get a "Permission denied" (terminal).
I absolutely don't have any idea what could be the cause of this!
And not being able to update the hosts file or doing any alterations of system files of course is a problem!
I had several rooted devices and never encountered this issue!
Any ideas??

I once had such a problem on my phone (SGS4), I was running CM with SuperUser.
Switching to SuperSU helped me back then, SU seemingly did not work correctly.
I guess you are using SuperSU on your stock ROM, so this is no option. But still I'd still assume that your problems are directly SuperSU-related...
Yes, I'm using SuperSu (current version: 2.01).
It's not possible to update to version 2.02.
EDIT!
Obviously the recovery is broken also! It's not possible to boot into recovery!
How do I repair that (and how can it be that the recovery is gone in the first place??)? Simply remove the files which are listed in the XZDualRecovery thread's uninstall instructions, then install normally?

Sorry, but I do not have any experience with the DualRecovery. I can only state that I do not have such issues with the recovery I use.
So perhaps your problems go away if you use the same one - I think this could be worth a try...
The problem, and that is one reason why I ask, is that recovery and system RW HAD worked! Flawlessly!
But now no more!
How can that be?
You don't need to answer anymore. I uninstalled Dual Recovery, then tried to install CWM. After that Android didn't start at all (Bootloop). Fed up, I wiped and installed from scratch
You probably just needed to run easy root again. I have to run it twice every time. Then I install the recovery from in Windows using the tool provided, then I flash the superuser update. Zip from the chainfire website. Probably overkill, but it's worked for me about 10 times on this device. Remember to turn off firewall and antivirus and run the installers as admin in Windows.
Hi,
I am looking purchase LG Realm LS620 during blackfriday. Is it possible to root this phone? Please help me with links...
THANK YOU!
Yeah I Used Towel Root it worked just fine then make sure to install SuperSU & Busy Box also search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root heres a link to the apk for towel root https://towelroot.com/tr.apk :good::good::good:
Yeah towel root works fine, idk if theres any custom recover for it tho, been looking since i got it, ive tried using xposed framework, but its not the same as using cm roms
yeah i have yet to find a custom recovery or any development for that matter but im sure hopefully soon someone will do something with this thing.
Towelroot worked perfect! Thanks
Would just like a custom recovery, I as well have not found one.
I have bricked my LG ls620, any chance of asking someone to rip /system/app for me, or perhaps the entire stock firmware?
Writing issue to the SD Card after using Towel Root with LS620?
Thanks for the info. I should be getting an LS620 today. I would like to disable the activation wizard and I understand the way to do this is to:
1) root phone
2) install free version of titanium backup
3) uninstall LGSetupWizard 4.3.019
Regarding the rooting portion, you mention "search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root" . I am not sure what this means can you let me know what issues are related to writing to the SD card on this device after rooting with Towel root and what application and process is needed to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a copy of your stock rom? Or and update zip i can install from the sd card to re write the entire system?
Yes
Towleroot works perfect!
Even unrooted on newer versions of Android you can't write to the external SD in less you root after that es3 will be able to but I'd you want other apps to you need to use
a app such as SDfix: Kitkat writable micro sd, which I used on my LG Realm, hope this helped
Sent from my LGLS620 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, it is very possible
I unlocked my Bootloader yesterday, but didn't try to flash anything afterwards, I simply unlocked the bootloader, restarted my phone, and restored my texts, calls, etc using a backup I made with HTC sync manager. Everything works fine, except that none of the apps I download can be moved to the SD card even though they should be movable. When I click "move" in the app menu it waits a few seconds then displays "error: couldn't move app" With no further explanation. I'm fairly sure this isn't a storage space issue because I've tried formatting the SD card to make it work. And now I'm stuck. Advice would be much appreciated.

first, you must root your phone. then download from play store "sd card fix" for KitKat, and then you will be able to move your apps to sd card.

Haha yes, I ran it once it installed. It just seemed to have no effect. Also whenever I restart my phone it resets to saying "your device is ready to be fixed" instead of "your device has already been fixed". Like restarting the phone undoes the writing permissions.

You need to to disable the system write protection before any of these mods will stick through a reboot. Just install my wpmod-disable-write-protection zip . Just follow the instructions in that thread and you can then modify your rom to your hearts content.

Hi All,
I've just updated to MM and everything is running perfectly with root. What a difference in performance!
I have always been able to save stuff into SD card regardless of app using SDFIX patch. (It was meant for Kitkat but also worked on Lollipop)
Is there a fix for this? I want all apps to have access to SD Card..
Or is there a way to create a folder on the SD card for full access? I'm quite confused using these options as i've always applied the SDFix patch
Many thanks
Have you found a solution? I went to edit the permissions and didn't even see the external storage permission in the file, so I'm not sure it's as simple as it used to be.

Nope, still don't know how, i'm just using workarounds for all my applications that require it at the moment. Feels backwards as I use my SDcard a lot since upgrading to MM, but worth it for my phone not lagging anymore!
I do love the upgrade a lot!
