[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

After being an iPhone fanboy for years, I recently went to Android to try something new. For two months, I've been running Revolution HD (4.3) on my HTC One - but - yesterday decided to give Venom ViperOne a try. I downloaded the latest version, booted to recovery (TWRP) wipred cache, and applied new ROM.

Everything seemed to work great, but after getting many things set up, I found out that I didn't have full root access. When laucnhing SuperSU, it said something like the binaries were not installed, but I finally got that to go away. Re-installing the binary via Recovery didn't fix everything, though.

I installed Root Checker Pro and here is what it said about my phone:

Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.

Super User Application Status:

SuperSU application - version 1.69 - is installed!

System File Properties for Root Access:

Standard Location

Check Command: ls -l /system/bin/su:

Result: /system/bin/su: No such file or directory

Analysis: File /system/bin/su does not exist.

Standard Location

Check Command: ls -l /system/xbin/su:

Alternative Location

Check Command: ls -l /sbin/su:

Analysis: File system permissions restricted and denied access.

Alternative Location

Check Command: ls -l /system/xbin/sudo:

Result: /system/xbin/sudo: No such file or directory

Analysis: File /system/xbin/sudo does not exist.

Root User ID and Group ID Status:

SU binary not found or not operating properly

System Environment PATH: /sbin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin

ADB Shell Default User:

ADB shell setting for standard access, stored in default.prop, is configured as: root user - ro.secure=0

I have tried many suggestions and now have 3 different zip files for SuperSU that I've tried. I'm still researching, but any suggestions would be fantastic... Thanks!

Click build number at setting 7 times until it appear developer option, change root access to app and adb, see if that can solved your problem :)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bzowk:
Thanks for your reply. Fortunately, I finally fixed it by doing the following:

1. Uninstalled SuperSU via Play Store

2. Downloaded the 1.69 SuperSU update file and installed it through Recovery.

3. Re-installed SuperSU via Play Store

Once I did this, it verified working 100% again in apps as well as passed verification.

Thanks again for your help!

why are you sideloading superSU ?

just copy it to your phone storage and flash it with TWRP /CWM

On impulse, I picked up a Sprint Galaxy S3 yesterday from a local seller for $80. Although the sides and the battery cover were beat up, the screen and front side were perfect. Bad ESN, but I'll probably get flashed to Page Plus. I rooted it last night and installed Wicked Sensations 5.0 today. I've got a new OEM white battery cover coming I paid $4.50 for. Was this as good of a deal as it seemed? Ebay prices seemed quite a bit higher...Thanks for the input.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
It's a pretty good deal although you bought it from someone that was unethical (cancelling their service without paying the ETF.) But their credit will be hit so I guess karma will play its part.

I do think that was a great deal, considering the phone is completely usable. How beat up are the sides? If minor then you got a good deal out of that.

thats a great deal for a uncracked bad esn sprint s3. I paid 110 for mine off ebay with a crack screen.

I ordered this

http://dx-box.com/magnetic-charging-cable-for-xperia-z-ultra-xl39h.html

It took 15 days to arrive but I was surprised to see that it came with a 2A HP adapter.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Teknohtc:
That's nice!!!

Do they stick ok though?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] GustavoHenrique:

It's seems original from sony but is only sell in China.

Sorry for my English.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Teknohtc:
yea it sticks fine but, just move it too much or it just falls out.Beats opening the flap all the time! :D
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] seamonkey420:
this is the one i have from amazon

this one seems to work pretty well too...

i have my phone sitting landscape in a Wii U gamepad dock (only $7 from nintendo and works great for any phone/device).

however the cable i bought/use from Amazon is this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FF9P1T6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

magnets are decent and not too strong however it does only fit one way though. :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] kingOfTheLab:
Is there a way to disable screen rotation with a magnetic charger? It seems as if using it overrides the setting since normally that means it sits in the dock, but I don't want my screen to rotate, if I lie on my side and want to use my phone it rotates and I can't really use it that way..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone found a longer magnetic cable. I can't seem to find any that are more than 15 inches (40cm). I'd like one about twice that length. It seems so short compared to all my other cables.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] MohammadAG:
Use my Disable Desk Dock Xposed module, it also fixes conflicts caused by using the cable while the device is in car mode.

Hello guys and girls! Today i received this http://www.ebay.com/itm/26129591244...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Major plus : its magnet is stronger than the original cable found in the dk31 dock.It takes the same time to charge the phone!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] codral:
Hey guys, thought i'd add my 2c

I've purchased an ebay one before and found that it required some modifying to fit a phone with a case as the dimensions were somewhat larger... With no case on it fits fine... The magnetic is significantly weaker than authentic ones... And i don't trust it to charge my phone overnight, especially given how easy it is to bump loose. It also charges significantly slower than the authentic one, with navigation and screen one it supplies just enough charge to increase battery by about 1% every 10 minutes.

I've had two authentic ones from sony, the first one stopped working properly (magnet was shifting inside the plastic so wasn't getting good contact) and the second one just pulled out of the plastic, but some super glue seems to be doing the job... The magnets on the Sony ones are much stronger. It also charges quicker.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] pfidalgo:
Anyone got a recommendable one from an European retailer?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] del1701:
I've just bought this one from Mobilefun, the magnet seems pretty strong but I haven't charged my phone with it yet, not until later tonight ;)

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Took ages to arrive. This one is 40 inches from the tip of the USB end to the tip of the magnetic end. The official Sony one is 41 from tip to tip. Pretty much the same size, since the official Sony one has a rather large USB plug comb=pared to this one, which is very slim and short.

This one also has a weaker magnet, so it interrupts the charging if you move the cable around much. The official Sony one has a stronger magnet that holds the charger in place, even if you move the phone around.

Oh well. I've got a spare now, just in case.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
Has anyone tried strengthening the force of the magnet by rubbing it a bit with another magnet? When I first heard of this I didn't think it'd work, but I took a really strong refrigerator magnet and rubbed it against a really weak one, and it seemed to do the trick quite effectively.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Aniki6012:
Christmas cable (order 8, receive 24 Dec) !

I receive mine.

Magnet: good

Length: 1m

Unorthodox behavior: auto-rotate screen in any case.

Only charging (about 26% for 1 hour), no data transfer... :)))

got mine from an online seller here in philippines. i think they got it from ebay.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] eclyptos:
Hey, sorry to pup up this thread but I just want to said that I got yesterday a magnetic cable from eBay, 26 EUROS. It not working like it should, it charge my phone 10% in 1 hour. Worst shopping ever. Be really careful when you but NOT genuine Stuff. Test first how long it will charge your phone. The phone with dock charge in less than 2 hours. I will kick in the But this sellers.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Celeron787:
Yea i agree with the charging problem. Somehow I got a rather fast charge when i first plug the magnetic cable in for the first time.

Subsequently, it kind of charge rather slowly, in fact it discharges faster than charging when in use.. Otherwise it takes about 5 hours to reach 100% if I leave it there.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
If it were me i'd mod the cable.

Cut and pry the cable, add extra length and then do a nice and tidy job of seaming the cables back together with the right kit.

I'm getting one of these so if the cable proves to be too short i'll go ahead and mod it and write a little thread about it. :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Not a bad idea, actually. I'll order another one and try it out. I haven't had a cause to use my heat gun in a while.

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
Definitely, length shouldn't effect charge time either.

Think these cables should be part of the kit bought with the phone, those flaps aren't the most durable looking things, especially when the phones party trick is being submerged. :eek:

That sounds like it's getting less mA that it needs, I get this from different chargers, some don't work at all, afaik the original charger is 1.5A at 5V, theres several chargers I use, the best one being the blackberry playbook charger (yellow head) honestly, an hour and your charged, it really is that quick, only downside I can see with that is that I wouldn't leave it on overnight, I wouldn't think it'd be good for the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] eclyptos:
Is not the Charger, I use Sony Stock USB Charger 1.5A at 5V with the DK31 and in less than 2 hours my Z1 is fully Charged, same Wall charger with the Magnetic USB Cable from eBay, 10% in 1 hour. It's a scam already what they sell. The cable do not respect Sony specifications.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
Ah ok, well that's not good on face value, but then that could be a blessing in disguise, for me for the most part I would dock this whilst i'm at my pc at home, i'm there for a long period of time and in all fairness I don't want my phone to be overcharging itself, plus it'd look nice as a dock too.

At least for me it's a good thing.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] eclyptos:
Of curse but I brought the cable to have the possibility to charge my Z1 in my Car. 60 Euros, whit shipping, is the price for the Genuine Sony Magnetic Cable :eek: and I spend 26 for mine, now I have to have buy another one maybe for 16 Euros whit shipping, then I will be close to 60 euros in total already spend so is just a waste of my time if even the second will not do his job. I really thinking to buy the Original Sony Cable to get some peace.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
I think I would always buy original anyway unless something was tried and tested to a very high degree, saying that there are certain things i will never skimp on, one of those is batteries, the efficiency of knock off batteries is far lower than those that are certified by the original vendor (ie Sony, Samsung)

Have never had to buy a charger before so I wouldn't know what the cheaper ones are like from the internet.

Is the Sony one that expensive? Also I would have thought that if youre charging it in the car that youre going to get a lower voltage anyway, in which case it'll charge slower anyway, my car charger doesn't charge my phone at all lol.

EDIT: This looks interesting

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patuoxun®-M...2754392&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+magnetic+charger

Only 6 quid so hardly breaking the bank, I might order this, will let you know if it's any good.

EDIT 2: In all fairness if this is the original charging dock then I don't think theres a problem with it, reviews have been great and it appears to do what it says on the tin, plus it has an interchangeable slot so you can use it with a case on your phone, looks great.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Magnet...2754550&sr=8-2&keywords=sony+magnetic+charger

I'm getting both ;)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] eclyptos:
Yep, http://www.ebay.it/itm/350988595215?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

If the charger in the Car is 1.5A at 5V it have to charge normally, the problem here is the cable only.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
This is the one I purchased. It actually has the Sony logo on the cable, though I can't say if it's genuine or not. Either way, it charges my Z1 in a couple hours, just the same as the DK-31 dock. I'm actually using my old Note 2 charger with this, which charges 2.1A @ 5V.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
There you go then, that sounds like a bargain.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I'd give the one [MENTION=1070352]Cajun[/MENTION]flavouredbob mentioned m8, he's obviously tried it out and it's working ok, I'm yet to buy one, but for those prices I don't mind.

In all fairness theres a distinct possibility I'll be getting the new HTC phone when it comes out but that's just an idea at the moment.

I'd say give that other charger a whirl m8, for a fiver you can't go wrong.

Apparently the official one is this one

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/magnetic-charging-dock-dk31/

£35, which is obscene, £20 less i think i'd get the one i mentioned before, looks identical, and if it's not i'll be returning it.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] eclyptos:
Just to remind you that they do a Pictures of the Genuine one, that is why the logo was obviously deleted, and send you different one or a clone, I don't like this kind of business. You never know what you get.

I got the Genuine Dock so at the moment I'm fine. :D
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Even if it is fake, it functions just as well as the genuine cable and looks like it too. I won't pay $50 for a usb cable. I don't care how official it is. When OEMs stop charging ridiculous amounts for their accessories, I'll start buying official gear. My dock came in the box with my Z1, so that is definitely official. The charge cable probably isn't, but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference with it sitting next to a genuine one.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] eclyptos:
Glad you are the lucky one, I spent 26 euros for not original and it not do his job at all.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Whether you get it or not is entirely up to you, but I'm just pointing out that I've already tested the one in the link I provided and found it to be a fully working cable for a good price.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
OEM cables do take the proverbial, I bought an MHL official samsung cable for £28 only to find it can only be used on the Galaxy S3, so when I wanted to use it on something else, I couldn't.

I don't mind what dock I get so long as it charges.

Was speaking with one of our Sony reps earlier and he said that his dock's magnet is very strong, he can easily pick up the whole thing by his phone and it's rigid in place due to the magnet, plus he also said that it'll charge the phone in less than an hour, which is rapid to say the least.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Jarod_:
Interesting indeed ! Please let us know when you receive it :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dlads:
Will do m8, lost my wallet a few days ago, utter fool that I am.

End of the month for me now.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Must have missed that post, but I have that exact charging adapter too. Someone linked it way in the beginning of this thread, I think, and I picked it up then.

My opinion on it isn't great. I've got two different ones, but they're both about the same in terms of quality. The problem is that the magnet isn't very strong. You have to make sure the Z1 is laying flat on a surface, and you can't pick it up while it's charging.

The magnet in the adapter is not strong enough to support the weight of the USB plug, so it dips down to the side with gravity. It will charge fine as long as you don't pick it up off your desk or table. If you pick it up, you'll most likely have to hold the plug in place or it will come undone.

It was only about $6 shipped for me, so it wasn't a big loss, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as an alternative to a magnetic cable. If you find one with a stronger magnet built in, I'd be game for giving that a go, however.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Winrahr:
I bought what's claimed to be a Genuine Sony cable.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/181254655475?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Quite the steal for OEM. I don't really trust non OEM stuff for things as critical as power.

Charges just as fast as the OEM USB cable, maybe even faster (never timed). Definitely faster than the ebay dock I bought.

Magnet is strong enough to not fall off easily except for if you even so much as to blow on it on the z axis.

I might rig something to make it into a dock later

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] HarpingOn:
None of the magnetic cables will stand the phone being picked up, in my experience and I've tried a few
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Winrahr:
Mine doesn't fall off unless you touch the connector. But the connector and the cable might be in your way while you type so you might hit it and it'll just fall off. If you so much as to even touch the connector pushing it towards the back of the phone (-z) it'll come off.

Even if i lift my phone on the right side and the connector comes off a bit it clips back on right away.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
The cable I've linked previously works perfectly fine. It's a strong magnet and sticks until I pull it off. I can pick the phone up, answer messages and it won't disconnect until I pull it apart.

I've only had issues with the microUSB to magnet charging adapters. Those normally have very weak magnets.
