superuser issues

After installing this rom i got a notification that i need to update the superuser binary, i clicked to do this but it was unable to do this and told me to contact the dev. Understanding that most roms have root baked in I checked and in settings root is turned on but when i try to get root i am denied. I tried to update the superuser "clockworkmod" from google play as it showed that it was already installed so i choose to update it. It appeared it went fine but still can't get root...in terminal when doing "su" i am denied. The terminal app is not in the apps list despite me accepting it on install. Anyways...clicking on superuser app in the applications i still get "the superuser binary su must be updated. Please choose a installation method."

both methods recover or install error out with ...there was an error installing superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer.

Not sure what to do here..i thought it was already baked in and google play showed it installed and had the update next to it...which i did but i still can't get root to anything.

Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
Hmm. so it is an issue. Im going to look into the issue.. A fix as said above was to download SuperUser from Google Play.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] neal74:
Did that, it actually showed it as installed already so i choose update and it appeared to have installed without errors but nothing can gain root and clicking on the superuser app it gives the above error about needing to be updated. I've un-installed and re-installed the update ..same results.

Thanks friend.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
There is more than one superuser..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] neal74:
well, I'm kinda new to all this rooting / modding stuff...but would not I want to use the one baked in and update that one as oppose to installing what I assume your referring to, the one by chaindd, and have it conflict with the pre-existing one? Are you saying to install the one by chain dd?

Thanks sir!

The other superuser worked, the baked in one does not and will not update.

I'm finding the notifications bar, coming from gingerbread so if the terminology has changed please inform, is difficult to pull down when it's set to display the quick settings such as wifi, bluetooth, hotspot, settings. If it's set to display just notifications it pulls down nice and smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
I have noticed if you have any notifications it does that. Just switch back to the Notifications tab and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
I think that's an AOSP issue... it's been like that for me on every AOSP rom for every device I've ever owned (HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, Samsung Galaxy II, Samsung Captivate). You learn to just deal with it :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Nevahdless:
Same issue here & after a few tries I had great success installing it through recovery. make sure to download the super user version for your processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
just out of curiosity, are you planning on updating ProvisionMOD to 4.2.2 once it becomes official? Because that would be sweet :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
They don't have a 4.2 version of this ROM. Looked on their git and saw no 10.1 branch. Provision is mostly special because of the notification toggles it has. Like quick settings. But we get that in CM10.1. So no go on 4.2 sadly.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
Reboot the device to fastboot and then close the first screen. Do the option to install custom recovery Team win then go into recover and hit reboot when it reboots it will ask you if you want to root. It's a ***** to set up HTC ADB driver in windows 8 64 bit sometimes but chances are the fastboot will work and if you've already unlocked the bootloader then you are good.

Hi, Yesterday I was in a concert recording videos of it, I put my LGOG in my pocket and when I took it out again it had a something like a blue screen of death, I don't remember what it said but I rebooted my phone and now it won't turn on.

I plugged it to the AC the whole night and still it won't turn on, when I have it plugged to the AC it shows the LG logo and the boot animation, but then it turns off. When I leave it unplugged it wont even show the LG logo as it where completely discharged...

does anyone know how to fix it? help

Aditional info:

it is rooted and the boot loader unlocked (i can't get into recovery, if plugged I get to the part where you have to press vol-down twice but then it turns off)

ROM : SnowJB v1.1

KERNEL:	B18c1 v4.1

Edit: when I plug it to the AC the led doesn't blink, but the screen turns on ans if I press the power button it shows the battery charging animation

this happened twice, a although little different.

the first time I left it unused for 24 hours then tried to charge again and it worked normally.

the second time, there wasn't no BSOD, and when it rebooted it didn't showed the boot animation this didn't work, so I did this:

So I believe my mic has bit the dust. No one can hear me on the phone regardless of the ROM I'm on.

So if I want to take this to big red can I just flash

1) my stock back up

2) relock my boot loader

3) take newest ota to intentionally lose root.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] intrloper:
I looked around a bit but I didn't find any info about what I want to do.

Basically I am a minimalist person and not very cluttered/social so I don't use/need any widgets or large number of apps installed; so my desktop right now is completely empty. I also have been playing with gestures and completely full screen on my phone. Which means I use gestures for my softkeys and such, event to open the app drawer and quick launcher.

Now I am looking to never have to toggle the notification shade back on to see what if any activity is going on my device.

Ideally I would like one simple widget on the desktop that would provide any and all notifications, everything from screenshots or app updates to gmail and missed calls. Also the basics like time/date/battery/signal/etc. I am not sure if anything like this exists or is possible but I am interested to find a Global notification replacement.

The ultimate goal is to disable the lock screen entirely and rely completely on the desktop info for notifications and the like.

Any info or insight to this would be amazing and I am grateful for any help anyone can provide. Thank you.

I want to hop to a new ROM, but it is a real pain to restore everything. Is there a quick way?

I am on Wompasaurus. Before was LJ1 stock rooted then MA7 DeOdexed then Womp. I want to try some more but hours and hours it takes to get everything running is ridiculous.

I have Titanium Backup, TWRP(GooManager), ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox and SManager. If I need something else, I get it.

SIDE NOTE: I was able to backup the 4.2 Gallery. But Titanium backup cannot find the 4.2 Camera.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TADitto:
I use Titanium Backup and Backup Your Mobile. Titanuim backup for apps and data. Backup Your Mobile for call logs, sms, mms, user data dictionary and wifi networks. I believe ROM Toolbox will do all of that and more. However just make sure that you save your backups to external sd and not internal sd as you will lose them if you do a full wipe of internal memory when you switch ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
Small problem. I use extsd2internalsd2.

Where should I put the backup?. Currently I transfer all my backups to my desktop.

EDIT : I installed Backup Your Mobile and ran it. THANKS!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TADitto:
Extsd is your external sd which is where you want to keep your backups as well as always keeping a copy some where else like a desktop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
In case anyone is reading my thread for help / ideas, I figured out a shortcut.

When every app is working, use TB Batch Action -user apps. Save this to some place safe. Before doing a full wipe re-backup apps with changing data . i,e. games
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tw1sted247:
After you get your ROM setup exactly like you want it go into twrp go to backup and make a nandroid backup. Backup your data, boot, and system I believe they are. (The first three options) choose the option to compress the backup as it will save it the exact same way just save space by compressing it and shaving 40-50% off the size.

Then after it says backup wad successful. Reboot system. Use ROM toolbox and backup all your user apps+data. Then go to your contacts choose export to sd.. Make a"V card" export all your contacts to your sd. Then download sms backup&restore app.. backup all your texts. Then after these steps are done reboot to recovery (TWRP) go to wipe and wipe (assuming you already have other ROM zips on your sd or external sd saved and ready to flash) wipe cache, Dalvik cache, system, factory reset, system, factory reset.. In that order. Back out to main TWRP menu. .

Choose Install and install your ROM zip of your choice. After it installs successfully and reboots setup your phone and get to home screen. Go to market install rom toolbox again. After that is installed open and scroll to backups. Restore all Apps+data that you want. While that's restoring open contacts choose import from sd.. choose vcard files... choose the one you just made and restore...

Once your apps restore open sms backup&restore them restore your texts... setup any thing else you want/need widgets settings options etc..

After the new ROM is setup to your liking. Scroll back to the top and repeat till you have solid Nandroid backups (Twrp backups) of all the ROM'S you want.

Then anytime you want to change between then you reboot to recovery (twrp) wipe with above said method then hit restore choose the ROM you want to restore to and voila you'll literally be where you left off to a T even the same messages and websites still open... Only thing you might want to do between nandroid flashes is backup any NEW apps you downloaded recently. Our make a new backups of text messages with sms backup&restore if you want your texts always up to date...

If this helped which I hope it did cause its laid out, then hit the Thanks button:good:

Have a great afternoon

Hello,

I know that I should'nt have do that, but I need your help.

I upgrade my MDA on the following state :

Rom : 4.01.16 Eng

RSU : 4.21.00

For buisness reson I have to go back to the original state.

Rom : 3.18.01 ENG

RSU : 3.23.00

Unfortunatly I didn't do a Backup

I have acces to some MDA with the originale rom and rsu

My question is how to go back to the originale state, without destroying the other mda with the originale rom? via bootloader?

Thanks in advance
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
The ROM part is easy, you can get the original 3.18 ENG from the carrier devices site http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific

The RSU might be your nightmare especially that you have 4.21 which showed to be the pain for most people here ... anyway, in the same site you will find RSU 3.25 for Qtek ... it's almost the same as 3.23.

Good luck
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sebs:
Biso007 Thanks for you answer,

I look at your link but it seems to be the Qteck version, I really need the officiale t-mobile version.

Is there any way to save the originale one in one of the other phone that I have access and restore to my one?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] pjfuerte:

I'm now running T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 ENG, Radio 6.25.02. I'm plannning to change the Radio to be compatible with Asia-Pacific and in the US (I've been going to Asia and back to the States for business, so I want a device compatible with both Asia-Pacific and US). Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sebs:
ok I Download the old version on a new phone via OSimagetool to my sd card and put it on my device. working perfectly.

So now I just have to downgrade the radio stack to 3.23.00, where I can find it and how to downgrade?

I download the file here

http://www.t-mobile.at/business/mobiles_arbeiten/MDA/SWupdates/

Looks like it's working, (at least I have the right number at startup)

the only problems that I had it's that rhe rsupgrade was lauch every time I startup, I had to delete the file rsupgrade on startup folder. now it's working like before.

Thanks a lot.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sebs:
By the way, does it exist a solution in mda to copy contact name to the sim card?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
No, it's PPC2002 and the RSU is 3.25 for PW10A devices (900/1800). I know it coz it was on my device before I replace the mother board with a B-type one.

If you are going to use 900 MHs network in Asia you can keep your current RSU ... I have it on my device and my network is 900/1800 ... other than this you better use 2 phones or get a new XDA II :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Dealing with the SIM book is a matter of s/w and the device type (XDA or MDA or ... ) has nothing to do with it. You can find many freeware s/w to deal with the SIM entries.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sebs:

Hi guys

I am currently using a half bricked Asian(Indian) retail RAZR(don't know how) but my stock slot rom on safestrap got deleted and I am not able to flash anything to it so I am using kexec roms on other slots. I plan to restore cid and then flash one of the above stock ROMs after unbricking my phone using rsd lite. But I am confused and want suggestions as to which stock rom is the best In terms of stability and smoothness.

Also I would like not to mess with my cid anymore and also I an not very interested in trying any of the stock based roms yet. If I want I will flash the respective kernel(via bmm) and try it. I will most likely be using kexec ROMs on my other slots.(Don't know if i will use bmm or safe strap later).* All suggestions are welcome even if they do not match my requirements as sometimes it is better to brainstorm. Isn't it?;)

And also a big thanks to the whole RAZR community who have kept development going strong even after so much time.:)

I like Vodafone much more...

Originally I installed Verizon using the following instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2078021

However, the Verizon jb did not allow me to tether, and made my 3G connection very unstable.

Therefore, I flashed the phone and installed Vodafone Jb, which has worked pretty well, with no major issues (the only thing that tends to happen is for 3G not connecting immediately after disconnecting from WIFI).

Hence, I HIGHLY recommend going for the Vodafone Jb (as long as the systems in India are somewhat similar to Mexico's).

Good Luck!

Hello all.

I would like to ask you for help with my phone.

I bought Xperia X10i (in immaculate condition) sold as dysfunctional. Seller claimed that the phone is broken because of the flashing red LED light.

When I tried to turn it on, actually flashing red LED. I immediately swapped battery for a fully charged and red LED changed to green LED.

When I try to turn on the phone, green LED blink once & shortly vibrate and that's all.

No logo...nothing. Phone not respond till I remove battery. When I put the battery back, the situation is repeated.

I left the phone on the charger over 24 hours, even though it had a fully charged battery.

When I connect phone to the wall charger, green LED lights up for about 70 seconds. Then LED goes out..

When I connect phone to the USB on PC, green LED lights up for about 10 seconds. Then LED goes out..

When I run SEUS, and hold on Back key, I receive:

"New software is available for your phone

Update your software to get latest features and corrections and keep your phone in the best possible condition."

Once I confirm upgrade, SEUS download firmware and start installation with result:

"The installation failed

Please disconnect the phone and make sure that battery is fully charged before trying again. if the problem persists, please contact support."

Note: battery was fully charged and tested in the second functional phone.

When I try to flash it, FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec return this:

"21/026/2013 02:26:21 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized
