[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
I had a few problems. First installed superuser by mistake and it didn't work.

I then installed superSU using the temporary recovery option which worked fine but I couldn't boot into recovery afterwards so I went back and installed TWRP recovery and now everything is good. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farmerbb:
Do you have access to fastboot?

Download TWRP, then reboot into the boot loader, and do

fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery image>

Then start recovery on your device, and flash SuperSU. Profit :)

It's on the upper left of the toolkit, on the basic feature section click "change".

Have root but new app cannot get permisssion

I'm wondering if anyone is having the same problem as me, or if anyone has a solution.

I have root and all of my old app that had been granted su permission are still working fine, e.g. titanium backup, stickmount etc but no new apps can obtain root access, the request prompt does not even show up. Whats also odd is that the su app has not logged any root requests since the update.

I have searched and others have had this problem with earlier android versions but none of there solutions seem to work. I have tried re flashing root and the binaries, just the binary, rooting via the toolkit and changing from superuser to supesu and nothing seems to change.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
So I saw an update for 4.2 and got excited. Smaller dock icons? YES! New clock? YES! New menus? YES! Then I realized that I no longer had root and I forgot to backup my stuff. Is there a way to root without deleting everything?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesitkumara:
Just wondering, did you apply the 4.2 update from fresh install?

I apply the update by doing fresh install:

-always backup your data

Then I use wug's nexus root toolkit:

-flash stock + unroot 4.1.2 jzo54k

-flash zip stock + unroot 4.2 jop40c

-change the model type to "NAKASI: Android *.*.* Any build"

-apply root

Maybe I can help...

I had this same problem... and silly me, I wiped the data for Superuser to see if I could get it to work, which it didn't... After trying a few different ways to reinstall SU (CWM, Rom Toolbox and Nexus 7 Toolkit) I finally got it to work... I downloaded Nexus 7 Toolkit 3.2.0 and re-rooted, but that didn't work, so I reinstalled BusyBox with the N7 Toolkit, then I uninstalled and reinstalled BusyBox using the app BusyBox Installer (Which I might not have needed to do)... So just try reinstalling BusyBox with the Nexis 7 Toolkit... I hope it works for you!

Try restarting the phone see if that fixes things, if not go into the superuser app and update the binaries, also double check that root explorer is being allowed superuser premissions.

Xperia S (lt26) Source tree here:

https://android.googlesource.com/device/sony/lt26/

Heres a flashable zip containing the Xperia S JellyBean Adreno drivers.

I take no credit for these files, infact I would like to thank XirXes for finding them and N10AP for figuring out how to make it work.

MAKE A BACKUP!

Flash the attachment in recovery. Check my findings first to see if you don't mind losing video playback and some glitches..

Let us know how it works for you - better or worse?

My initial findings are that:

1) It fixes the need to disable HW overlays to play shadowgun deadzone and dead trigger without glitches!!

2) It seems to cause a green image when you take a picture using Camera app, the picture comes out fine though. Maybe we dont need all the binaries?

3) When transition into loading screen for games occur it causes some visual garbage.

4) Breaks video playback
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Pretty sure the official adreno drivers from qualcomm that are included in bruces cm10 build are jellybean drivers.

infact i'm sure they are. These will more likely than not make no difference.

EDIT: https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobi...phics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
They do make a difference in shadowgun and dead trigger, but we need to figure out which files are causing the camera issues now.

Thanks for your input.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Ah okay, if they make a noticeable difference i could be wrong. Guess a dev's input is needed to fix them up a bit :)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
For start try removing this libs (Restore original ones) to fix glitches.

libmemalloc.so
liboverlay.so
libgenlock.so
libQcomUI.so

Leave rest.

Dont have JB now to test for my self.
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
Thanks will try it
[HTC Sensation] lanluckez:
Is possibe to install this directly? Is there any way to get the Xperia S Adrno deivers for ICS in order to play games like Batman and NOVA 3 or Wild Blood with full effects? It would be gorgeous!
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
Yes it is possible to install this, I would only use it on Jellybean CM10 based roms though.

I dont know about the ICS Drivers.

Back on topic, Removing those 4 files results in a black screen at boot, currently trying trial and error to find out why..
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
You just removed them? You need to push/flash original files from bruce rom or other JB your using. Not just delete files :)
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
No, I flashed back to original CM10 and then flashed modified zip without those files.
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
Managed to get it to boot by removing 3 of those files from the zip. It appears to need liboverlay.so.

Still got all glitches. Thanks for the help though. :)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Yea, you would need more graphic libs from that Sony Xperia S rom to get rid of glitches.
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
Oh right. Also just found out that it breaks video playback.

Doh!

Edit: have added link to original post in OP

I have to goto work for a few hours so can't do any more work on this for now...
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
Did anyone figure anything out while I was gone?
[HTC Sensation] XirXes:
I'm glad to see some experimentation with these. I wonder if we can get anything useful out of the lt26 source tree too.

https://android.googlesource.com/device/sony/lt26/
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
Thanks XirXes I'm sure that will come in handy. Its all a bit beyond me to be honest. Simple file replacing is about as far as my knowledge goes lol
[HTC Sensation] GavTheStoner:
So nobody can help or wants to help with this?

Looks like we are stuck with broken cm10 adreno support then...
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Sure :)
[HTC Sensation] N10AP:
We need to wait till Qualcomm release new drivers. The only thing we can do is tweak these test drivers which I think is what Sony have done.

End of story. Sadly...

But all that is available are the Aug.1 early drivers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] R4x0:
i decided to unlock my bootloader on my already rooted phone to try out some new JB roms. I installed Sspeed kernel and RecoverX which was fine then I followed the instruction to install the latest PACman rom by wiping all the caches and the system in recovery before flashing the rom. Problem is I accidentally left out the flashing and went straight to reboot phone. NOW THE PHONE WILL NOT GO PAST BOOTLOADER ANIMATION.

I tried using flashtool to flash stock rom. The phone is connected in fastboot mode but will not flash! PLEASE HELP!

Many thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
To flash stock rom you need to be in a flashmode, not fastboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gallardo5:
Ive done that few times;) just install any kernel via fastboot, then you will be able to go to recovery;) its just that recovery is kept in system partition, so you wiped all the system and recovery;) flash any kernel that has recovery build in, and you will be good to go;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] R4x0:
problem is i've flashed stock kernel.sin and system.sin via fastboot using flashtool....still the same.:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
Download stock rom and flash everything not just kernel or system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] R4x0:
I'm such a noob lol. I mistaken the vol down for up thats why it didnt flash in the first place.

Thanks all! I knew I can find help here:laugh:
[EVO 4G General] dmolavi:
Over the past couple of weeks, my Evo has started to reboot at random times. Sometimes it will go for a few days, other times, it will reboot several times a day. I've had it happen in the middle of using the phone, and in the middle of the night. Nothing has changed on the phone from an app standpoint besides updating the ones I have installed already.

I do have my phone rooted, running a stock ROM from XDA that has apps2sd enabled on it, however, I have been running in this manner for almost a year with no hiccup. I've tried looking at the log files, but they seem to be stored in volatile memory and blanked out/overwritten when the device reboots, so finding an exception or problem on the device after a reboot doesn't seem possible (or is it, and if so, how?).

Anyone with any thoughts/suggestions, please chime in. I have had my Evo for over 2 years, and am loving it still now as much as the day I got it (yes, I do have GS3 envy from my wife's phone, but the Evo does what I need it to do, and does it well)...

Thanks in advance for any tips/suggestions.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Not sure which recovery you have, but if it's Amon Ra or Smelkus, go to recovery, and do Fix Permissions (Under Others) and Repair EXT (Under Partition)

If it were me,and that didn't work, I'd do a backup of all my apps, data, messages, etc and the a complete wipe and reflash the ROM.Basically start over.

I've run a lot of ROMS that seemed to deteriorate over time and a fresh flash fixes it every time.
[EVO 4G General] Robobob1221:
Are you still running it on stock battery that came with the phone? Could be that its nearly dead and you need a replacement.

Also you're rooted, apart from a2sd you use any other tweaks/mods?
[EVO 4G General] dmolavi:
I'm using Amon Ra, will i lose anything from doing fix perms and repair ext? (I will do a full nandroid first, of course).
[EVO 4G General] dmolavi:
Yes, still on the original stock battery. The most recent reboot happened in the middle of the night last night, while it was charging, though...No other tweaks/mods have been made in the time before this started occurring...the phone had been unchanged (minus app updates) for months.
[EVO 4G General] Robobob1221:
Could be an idea to get a new battery, you can get decent cheap ones on amazon or ebay I think, and see if that stops the reboots.

As for fixing permissions and reparing ext you wont lose any data

Out of curiosity what ROM were/are you running when it started?
[EVO 4G General] dmolavi:
Hmm...I'm using Amon-RA 2.3 (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026) and there is no "fix permissions" or "repair ext" under "other"...Is there a newer/better version available?

I am using the stock rooted a2sd ROM from Captain Throwback, have been for ages...
[EVO 4G General] Robobob1221:
Yes, SmelkusMOD 4.3.

It's based of of RA Recovery, but includes some major improvements to the original. If you don't find it yourself I'll get you a link

EXT Repair is under Partition SD Card.

Fix Permissions should be under Others or something similar and yeah, Smelkus is the way to go
