[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyparisi:
So I really would like to install some of the mods that will make the pull down menu like my Evo 3d was. I have rooted the phone but I unfortunatly have to stay stock rom because of BOYD at work, I can't wipe the phone each time a upgrade comes out...

So I was reading about deoxed mods just delete the oxed files of the updated apks... Unfortunatly with some that worked like the camera, but when ever I do it to the systemui so I can change the pull down menu or battery in the status bar I lose my status bar at the top completely. I know this should be able to work but I cant find any information about what to do about the missing status bar after the changes so I move the old apk back in and everything is good again... This sucks...

Any Ideas? I would apprciate it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeykrim:
Not sure on the answer, but have an idea on how to start troubleshooting to perhaps find the answer.

I would watch logcat and see what happens when you swap the systemui apk files. logcat should show the error messages as well as debug output which can help identify the issue.

feel free to post that up here and we can troubleshoot from there!

as a side note, logcat can contain personal information, such as your google account/gmail address. best to only past the excerpt around the crash/error from systemui.

hope that helps!

So ever since I updated to the latest firmware I can't use the restart function. I'll hold the power button down and the box will pop up, I select restart, the Samsung logo appears and then the screen goes black but the bottom button lights stay on and nothing happens. It will just stay like this forever if I don't stop it myself. It's faster if I just power it off myself and restart...

Anyone heard of this happening?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imTigger:
I found a very easy method to preserve root access between different ICS firmwares.

Maybe many of you already know, just post it for convenient as new firmware released.

Requirements:

1. Already running on rooted 4.0 system

2. ROOT TOOLKIT from here

Steps:

1. Download and extract "Step1-rooted.bat" to the same directory as "Step 1.bat"

2. Run "Step1-rooted.bat" BEFORE upgrading/flashing

3. Flash/update WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING

4. Run "Step2.bat" after upgrade/flashing

5. Your root access is back, enjoy!

Tested with Sony PC Companion, Sony Update Service and Flashtool update/flash

Output of Step1-rooted.bat should look like this if there are no errors:

Technical Detail:

I've just changed all "adb shell XXXXXX" to "adb shell su -c XXXXXX" to retain /data/local/tmp exploit after update,

therefore we don't need to flash back to GB to create the symlink
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
Thanks man, I'll keep this for further upgrade :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
Had a slight problem with step two not installing SuperSU.(My fault I believe for unplugging it too early) But just turned the phone off and on again and ran Step2 again.

A lot easier than going back to GB and having to back up and restore all my data.

Works perfectly with my Locked Bootloader too.

So Cheers! :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soldiers33:
followed your guide but root disappeared :( now must reinstall gb first then ics
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
Any particular error or reason for it not working?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Could I get some assistance using this? I'm kind of a noob at this.

I have ICS and root on my S.

I started the step1root bat and pluged in my device holding power and volume- down.

I got this error messages (see picture)

Can someone please explain what exactly I need to do to get this working?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Why not just untick kernel in FlashTool?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rumkuhgel:
Can i update with pcc after step1 without loosing root?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Did that work for you?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
You run the the flashtool by holding down the volume button and then plugging in the USB cable.

BUT for step1 and step2 It seems to work best if you boot up the phone, enter your pin. and leave it on the home screen and then run it.

So: On homescreen -> Run Step1.bat -> Restart. -> Turn off. -> Set up Flashtool with new rom -> Volume down + USB cable -> After ROM has installed, boot to homescreen -> Step2.bat.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

This tutorial might be more useful for us with locked bootloaders who cant install other Kernels.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Thank you for the answer.

So with my phone on (at homescreen) I connected to pc and ran step1.bat, but I still get exactly the same lines like on my screenshot.

I just want to make sure, that is how it's supposed to be?

I can flash the ftf now and then run step2?

It looks like errors to me, but like I said, I know nothing about this :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
Did you have root before this? You should not get that error. It should complete and then restart your phone for you.

Do you have 'Step1-rooted' in the same folder as 'step1' and 'step2' and a 'data' folder?

I would wait to see what imTigger says, because he may know the solution for that error. So dont flash your rom just yet
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
I deleted the step1.bat, downloaded it again and put it back. It got to this:

http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/9197706501.png

(Took the picture from another thread but mine looked exactly like this)

Thank you anyways :)

Another noob question:

In flashtool, I unchecked every wipe, do I need to check anything at the excludes?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
Leave all boxed unticked! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Oh no! I turned off my device and tried to connect to flashtool and now it doesn't turn on at all! No light, no vibration, no led... tired power down and volume up nothing helps T__T what can I do?

Please help :(

Seus doesn't recognize it either.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
That is a little strange. What was your battery level like?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
75%

What can I do now?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
If you hold power and up volume for a good few seconds do you get vibrations?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Nope but I get a sound if I plug it in on the computer.

Trying to install the drivers as it always comes up: 'installation of drivers failed'

I'll report back when I get anywhere :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rumkuhgel:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Installed the drivers, connected in flash mode and was able to continue flashing. Phone booted up fine after that, sony screen, then xperia bootanimation ( Had a different one before but it's gone)

Now it's at Optimizing application 168 of 285 (been there a few minutes o: )

So far it looks better then before ^^;

Good heavens, sometimes I wonder if root is worth the heart attack? :D

Hope I'll get back to root on a -working- phone never the less.

Edit: Working so far on .45. Lots of force closes on start up, mostly downloaded apps like apex launcher, hope that's not a bad sign o:

Off to step2 we go...

Edit #2: Just finished. Phone is rooted on .45 firmware and working fine, woot!

What an odysee .... Nearly died there :D Thank you so much for your help, conalt, don't think I would have that without your guide.

I think I know what was causing the brick(? or whatever that was): One of my usb ports seems to be broken, and I used that one of course :/ just noticed as I switched mouse and phone and now my mouse disconnects and reconnects like crazy. Just my luck :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conalt:
Haha, Glad it booted up! :good:

Expensive hardware which randomly decides to misbehave really does cause mini heart attacks! Especially when we normally start the whole thing..

I was going to say it was kinda strange, but at least you seem to know its was probably the usb now.

Hope she is behaving now! ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Everything is alright again now. I'm gonna tripple check all ports and cables before I flash anything ever again :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imTigger:

This output is correct:)

And you don't need to exclude anything else in flashtool, just uncheck all wipe option
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imTigger:
I just updated with Sony Update Service, it works fine.

I think PCC is the same. Remember NOT to choose wipe data.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wingy1:
Sorry I am a complete noob at these things but I dont understand the guide.

I have a rooted Xperia S and I want to update to the 6.1.A.2.45 and keep root. I have an unlocked bootloader.

I have downloaded root kit and the Step1-rooted.zip.

So what do I do next?

Do I connect the phone normally to the PC and then then use the root kit to execute the bat file?

It mentions to run step2.bat, but where is this file? I can't see it attached to the original post.

If I go through this method and then use flash tool to update will SU still be available in my apps?

Sorry for all the questions but I don't understand it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imTigger:
You can always flash a auto-rooting kernel if you have unlocked bootloader.

By the way, step2.bat is inside the ROOT TOOLKIT, place my step1-rooted.bat inside the same folder and run it.

SuperSU will return after step2.bat if you did all the steps correctly.

And no need to revert, because all changes to /system partition will lost after any ROM flash.

Problem upgrading

Hi guys,

I tried this method, but I cannot seem to get root access after update. My bootloader is locked and I had successfully rooted my phone with the first method (flashing GB first, etc).

I run Step 1 without problems, flash the new firmware also successfully, but when I run Step2 I get a bunch of errors. Now I don't have root and also lost access to CWM to revert the phone to the prevous state.

Can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks a ton to this thread, i have successfully done it (again) !!

Works like a charm..

Though i have a little problem, on 6.1.A.2.45, i have a root access, i cannot download anything from playstore.. Gives me an error 921.. Any ideas how this can be fixed ??

Edit : Fixed it :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] youri_69:
This does not work, tried it 2 times. 1 time with PC companion and 1 time with update service.

Updated to 6.1.a.2.45 but lost root every time.

When I launched Step 1 Booted I had the same text as in your post, but after the update I launch Step 2 and that doesnt work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SFU11:
try once again, but use flashtool to flash.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] youri_69:
Yes I have the file to flash back to GB, I have the ICS file but I don't have the ICS 6.1.a.2.45...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Okay then download the one from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599303

Then go back to gb, and use this kit : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1754429, it's damn easy :)

Once you are on flashed ICS, download the step 1 rooted from the first page and also the rootkit used by sharaz22, place both in the same folder. Keep the phone on - step1 rooted.bat

Then disconnect, restart the phone, flash the 6.1.A.2.45 you just downloaded WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING through flashtool.. Once its done, run step2.bat, it will give some errors and restart your phone, let it do whatever it does until finallt it will say completed !! Then check your phone, it would definitely have root access :victory:

Hope it helped

Then flash a GB, you say. Then you say that when I'm on flashed ICS I've got to download step 1. But I'm already on ICS?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Oh okay, if you are already on rooted ics, simply follow the first post!! What I posted was to root gb coz I thought you lost your root!! :P

Just flash that with Flashtools without wiping anything?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
You said you lost your root.. DID YOU ROOT AGAIN ??

If yes then go to the first page..

Download the rootlit from there, then download step 1 rooted.bat from the attachments there, then run step 1 rooted.bat, then restart and flash .45 without wiping anything, thenafter run step2.bat.. Simple..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] youri_69:

In recovery mode we have:

so by doing factory reset or full wipe of data from recovery, we will lost the root or not, mean root come back again automatically or not???

In CWM I chose Wipe data/factory reset. Then after it rebooted, installed/update SuperSU from Play store. And tries Root Check Basic. And it works. the root is still preserved :D.

Reason I did it was because the video camera was laggy as well as normal operation, but after factory reset from CWM now everythings really smooth. So I'm happy. Hopefully it stays like this after I've restore all my apps!
