I've looked around the boards and haven't found someone with this problem yet, and if I am in a wrong form I apologise, new at posting.
Ok here's the problem: On my Xperia Play which is rooted I am trying to install the walkman music player via this tutorial on xperia gamer: (new user can't submit url, so look it up if curious or relevant)
I am trying to move the apk from my sd card to /System/App and it looks like it pasted it, however there is no trace of the file, and if I move instead of copy there is no trace in the source folder either.
When I try and change permissions in the apk it always reverts back as well.
In superuser both file browsers are in the logs and if I remove their SU privileges they ask for them again.
This happens the same way in both file browsers so I'm not sure what to make of this.
Ideas anyone?
This is probably a common problem. This happens due to superuser app. Try installing supersu by chainfire and see whether the problem persists our not.
If the problem persists reinstall busybox
Before following all the above steps you can simply try updating the superuser app

Ok it appeared to be a problem with my busybox install. Everything working perfectly now. Thanks for the help!
ok I recently had to restore my kernel and rom, and this problem now exists again. Updated busybox, Installed Supersu and various different root browsers. Problem Still persists. Anyone have an Idea?
Hi and thanks in advance for any help...
Well...I'll installed MiniCMSandwich AOSP yesterday and I'm very happy with it so far...but today I tried to update youtube many times and always happens the same error which tells me the app package is not signed correctly and that I should uninstall the version installed first...I looked every where but couldn't find a way to uninstall this apps (and others)...
Another problem I found is that I can take snapshots..I tried with the power button + volumen down but nothing...
BTW my cellphone is a SE Xperia Mini ST15i...
Thank you again
Solved...just have to use ES Explorer rooted and delete youtube.apk from /system/app and restart to finally install youtube v4 from the store...Now I all is cool...just need to solve the problem with the snapshot
Hi!
I need some help from experts. My little brother have a phone, Huawei Y330. We have problems with the internal storage... When he want to install or update any app, I need to wipe some files to get enough space for the app. And it's very annoying when the phone have 230+MB on the internal storage and I can't install a 30Mb update for Google Play services, and it's important because without this update the f***ing YouTube app didn't work... I can't root that damn phone, I tried KingoRoot, but failed. So I can't delete the factory apps, can't install link2sd and etc. I now hate that phone and a bit the android rom. So please write anything idea to solve this problem.
And I almost forget: sorry for my english
Thank you!
Try the latest version of Kingroot. The latest version will succeed, it worked well for me.
Hey guys, I searched all over for a solution and didn't find one, so I decided to create an account here and ask for help. So here it goes:
I rooted my phone( Huawei G7-l01 ) using kingroot, I don't have a computer so kingroot helped me a lot, by not needing to unlock bootloader or anything else. I installed adaway, exposed framework(2.5.1) and a few modules(YouTube adaway, xinsta, YouTube background play, lucky patcher, grennify) and it all worked well for a long time (two-three months). I eventually installed freedom but I uninstalled it on the same day. Yesterday my Google play store and youtube stopped connecting(after I uninstalled greenify, don't know if there is anything to do with it), when I cleared cache and removed my account, I couldn't log in again, it said "could not find a reliable connection to the server" (something like that), so as a last resort I uninstalled kingroot, removing the root, and factory reseted. Now YouTube works, but I still can't log in to the play store, and worst of all, I can't root! King root doesn't work, I even tried other app, kingo root, but it doesn't work either. I saw a few tutorials, looked for a solution everywhere, and almost everyone said to: modify hosts file(needs root, I can't root), fixe date and time (tried, mine is right, no use) delete play store and Google framework cache and force stop and reboot phone(tried, no use). So I hope someone here can help me. Sorry for the long post, I tried to put every detail possible. Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem, although I used Framaroot app. It all worked fine till I got freedom (and why would you install freedom if you had lucky patcher?!) but I too uninstalled it and then the same Play Store issues. I tried unrooting and eventually factory reset but none of them worked, so I gave up, unlocked my bootloader and flashed Cyanogenmod. It worked like a charm! And I had a great ROM!
So, I'd recommend borrowing a friend's laptop, installing necessary drivers, unlocking bootloader and flashing a suitable ROM for your device. You won't regret it, trust me :fingers-crossed:
Thanks, it's gonna be a while until I can get my hands on a laptop, until then I'll keep using aptoide. I helps a lot, but is not 100% better. But thanks anyway.

I was doing some research, and I couldn't find any official cyanogen rom for the Huawei g7-l01, so I guess I'm unlucky. I also tried installing the stick rom from the Huawei website, but the installation always fails.
Hi, I am using Micromax Unite 2… .Rooted with kingroot.apk and removed root permission after few days. Now I can't re-root my phone with the same apk as it restart in the rooting process. What shoul I do?
I rooted my phone using kingroot before and after removing al root authorization i found that kingroot has been installed as system app
also whenever i open the kingroot app it restarts my phone
how could i completely remove it
there's also the problem of the phone not able to connect to google play store (no connection, cannot login account)
my phone is NTT Docomo Sony Xperia SO-O4E
tried factory reset twice, deleting cached apps data, still doesnt work
a basic rundown on how it all happened :
-uninstall some bloatware from phone
-phone starts to restart randomly
-deleted cached apps data, no more random restart
-remove kingroot root auth and uninstall
-found out that phone cannot connect to play store, also kingroot has installed itself as system app

If your bootloader is already unlocked, the easiest way would be to restart the phone in fastboot mode, then boot (you don't need to flash it) TWRP and install SuperSU from a flashrecovery zipfile. This will remove kingroot app and running processes (mind you, there may be some dead kingroot traces left over on the filesystem - if you want to remove these too, you'll have to do so from a shell with root permissions). I haven't tried this with the Sony Xperia ZR/NTT Docomo Sony Xperia A (SO-04E), but it seems to work with most phones that are supported by TWRP. I wrote a short guide on how to do this (it's for a different device but these steps should be mostly generic if you have the necessary prerequisites in place).
Another good thing about SuperSU is that if you don't wish to keep root, it will remove itself cleanly and completely from your system (you'll find the unroot option in the apps settings). If however you would like to keep root, then SuperSU is an app that doesn't spy on you and doesn't phone home (I did a thorough check of the shell script used to install SuperSU and a rough check of the SuperSU apk using strings and wireshark only yesterday and as far as I could tell, it doesn't attempt to do anything malicious or touch files that it doesn't need to touch for its purpose, nor did it start a single internet connection by itself). The automatic NVISO analysis at https://apkscan.nviso.be/report/show/99a7841aa3eeaefa69f767602b0c454c confirms this too. Just saying this in case you decided to move away from root due to spyware concerns.
TWRP is an open source project. Their Homepage is https://twrp.me/
The TWRP image files for your device arel located here https://dl.twrp.me/dogo/
SuperSU homepage is https://www.chainfire.eu/ , the latest flashrecovery zipfile can be found here http://www.supersu.com/download
Both projects also have their own sections here on xda.
SuperSU also has it's own sections here on xda.
there's also the problem of the phone not able to connect to google play store (no connection, cannot login account)

Was this problem related to the rooting process in any way?
Does your internet access work otherwise?
What happens exactly when you start google play?
hi, thank you for the reply
the phone has only been rooted once with kingroot app, which i have removed (both the supposed app and the root auth), but kingroot app installed itself as system app without my permission and whenever i open the app my phone reboots
i'll try looking for ways to flash the phone
as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem
i tried following the steps from google help page but it doesnt seem to do anything
i'm thinking that the hosts.txt file cause this so im trying to delete it, but i found no other way to delete it without rerooting my phone
i tried factory reset twice but it doesnt seem to help either
thanks before and sorry for the late reply
EDIT : i dont think i can unlock the bootloader officially so i need an exploit

In that case, you will have to root first. Once having gained root access you can unlock the bootloader. To root, you can either use the kingroot app you used before (not much to loose, since you already installed it and its spyware the first time, and you will later be able to remove it with SuperSU). Or you can try towelroot, although if your smartphone has seen firmware updates, that will propably no longer work. There may be other, more current options - search trough the Xperia ZR Section.
Once you have root, you can use adb and fastboot to boot the latest TWRP for Sony Xperia ZR, then install the latest SuperSU recovery flashable zip. Using that you can completely remove Kingroot even as a system app and afterwards remove SuperSU itself, which will cleanly uninstall itself via Settings.
Code:

I would try the above first, see if the playstore works again after you SuperSU has completely removed Kingroot (reboot), and if it doesn't take a look at the hosts file. Then uninstall SuperSU when you don't need root anymore...
I can help along with adb/fastboot commands, but you need to root your device first (and install the necessary drivers for your phone on your computer).
Good luck!
