I am not sure. I made it for the Z2 and used it on my Z2, but the original script was supposed to work on multiple Sony devices (so it says).

So maybe you could give it a try, and report back?
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Hey bro, It works perfectly fine. I tested it on Z1C and it worked perfectly. :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 General] XenoZirrka:
just for complete understatement...

So I am actually in lack of some kind of permission as I never did this with my actual ROM? Would this allow me to move apps and just everything I desire and manage to turn on rwrwrw on the external SD?

(or is this not even part of ROM? Im not even clear bout whats included in kernel or ROM, and no idea what exactly is contained in firmware then xD anyhow I know ofcourse what those are but just can never find a explanation what differs those wich I could remember^^ Isnt it in principal all of them are part of the ReadOnlyMemory?)

Tough Im able to use foldermount and link2sd?

is this here then only usefull for "regular.no.root.required.apps" wich dont take advantage of su, or how does it come, that I read bout this kitkat.sd.killing.move but still never found the phrase RIC on my huge googling.expiditions....

(luckily knew this before purchase of a 128gb card and could go for the smaller 32gb wich is more than enough for pictures music and vids xD)
[Xperia Z2 General] Trahald:
Works perfectly. I was upgraded to 4.4.4 via OTA and I was able to save the root but I wasn't able to mount system r/w. Now everything works perfectly.
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
But in future with Lollipop update, I think Sony will let us move apps to SD, in AOSP(CM) builds they have the option to move the apps to SD. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] XenoZirrka:
So I discoverd now whats this for, I found out if an app wich doesnt make use of SU wants to write on SD it fails.... I didnt get it cuz I just let make apps use of SD wich anywaye do use SU ....

Only thing Im still wondering about is why can the stock foto.app (sony) write to SD1 and other apps can not? As I know sony.foto never asked for root.permissions^^

Trouble with Google

I have used your software and my phone is full rooted. Unfortunately, OK Google won't work anymore and when I speak, it did't search. What should I do now? Sorry for my bad English.

Working great on D5803 with FW .77

Thank you so much. /system could not be mounted in r/w after upgrading my D5803 (Z3 compact) from .93 to .77 and nothing else seemed to work, until a found your utility. Thanks! :highfive:

Thanks. Worked for me on Tablet Z2 SGP512 Wifi 32GB - I can now install host files for AdAway, and install BusyBox
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
I googled and searched, but cannot find the answer, please tell me where I can find more info on what this module does.

I understand what is the desired result, but what are (can be) the consequences of disabling it?

Is it's only function the write protection ?

If yes, can processes other than those initiated by me (after a superuser popup asking permission) write to the (protected parts of the) sd now too ?

If no, what other security gets disabled by disabing RIC?

Sorry for my ignorance but I think it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to security and dataloss...
[Xperia Z2 General] forty two:
Other than a few references on GitHub, I am not sure what to add. I just modified the root toolkit.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
Thanks for replying anyways ;)

Let's hope that someone with more info passes by here then.

If I stumble upon some more info I'll share it here.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
I have found out that there is a file explorer in the twrp recovery.

It has full access to /system.

I know it is a bit off-topic but it might interest other people that just have to delete some some files and hesitate to kill RIC, so I thought I should share it here.
[Xperia Z2 General] algnerd:
Will this work on Lollipop 5.0.2?
[Xperia Z2 General] forty two:
I have been wondering the exact same thing, but didn't want to test it until a new recovery comes out. :)

If you want to test it now, and have lost the TA partition previously, I would be grateful if you could also test the DRM fix.

Hi there.

I solved my problem by flashing the Baltic ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6503-23-1-0-690-bal-rooted-t3057150

Then flashing the advanced stock kernel v2 from here:

Download Z2_ADV_stock_LP_v2.zip from here:

And finally flashing the DRM restoration from here:

Is there any way to do any of this on a rooted device with recovery not working? Here is my case, hopefully you can help me :D

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/help/recovery-mode-sd-card-problem-t3098157
[Xperia Z2 General] forty two:
a) Did you install a newer busybox? Busybox other than the one included with the kernel sometimes breaks the recovery. If you did:

b) Did you try to re-install the kernel? Recovery is included in the kernel. Here you could try a number of options, though some of them could end in a device that has to be un-bricked through a full ftf flash. --- You could extract the kernel from the flashable zip from the guide you followed and flash via fastboot, or go to nut's page (http://nut.xperia-files.com/) and try his installer, or even extract the boot.img from one of the appropriate kernel offered on his page.

Good luck.

[Xperia Z2 General] puneetbhagat:
Hi.. I'm using Xperia C3 Dual D2502 (bootloader unlocked) on 5.1.1 which has TWRP recovery and SuperSU installed along with busybox zip flashed through recovery. Everything 'root' is working fine except that I can't use AdAway (hosts file can't be copied to xbin) or TB system app uninstall n anything else which needs to modify system. ES explorer can't mount rw. Is that all due to RIC? If yes then can I use this kill RIC script on my phone?

Edit: I can do that PRFCreator method (if it's necessary to run script) to create my own rooted update from my phone's stock ftf file bcz I've flashed it before, using Flashtools, so I know how it works. I do not have DualRecovery for my phone, only twrp.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] fleity:
--solved--

Okay I need some help to fix my phone because somehow I did something to my phone it really did not like. I will try to keep it as short as possible.

Since last week I was running liquidsmooth nightly LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-13-umts_spyder on my xt910 and it was running as smooth as it could get.

This morning I decided to simply reboot the phone for no particular reason, battery above 90%, it shut off, it turned back on, showed the motorola logo and then a black screen. nothing else and I have not been able to make it show anything else.

volume+, volume- and power button in every combination, result in the same situation.

on the black screen I can press volume keys to make it vibrate but I am not sure what it actually does.

windows recognizes the device as motorola usb composite device and an MTP XT910, so far so good. Even RSD lite shows it as xt910 and connected though all device properties (IMEI etc.) are N / A and flashing results in "phone could not change to fastboot mode"

I found a similar problem described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767469 (especially the last post).

Since the last reboot I installed plants vs zombies 2 and reinstalled google chrome, nothing else has changed.

I can't get into the fastboot menu to select ap fastboot, I tried doing the right steps at the black screen blindly but apparently it is not the same screen.

I am pretty clueless what to try next and I am not even sure if the phone is still being charged when I connect it to the charger.

sooo what to do?

thx a lot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
You have a black screen but the phone isn't really turned off...

When you see that black screen,press and hold the power button until you see the white line flashing for a moment,like on Tv,that means it's turned off.

Immediately after that press all 3 buttons,vol-,vol+ and power button to get into the boot menu and then choose AP Fastboot from there.

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fleity:
interesting, first turning it off by holding power allowed the three-button combo to bring up the fastboot menu. thanks a thousand times.currently flashing sbf image

:highfive: worked
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fleity:
just a quick thought, is it possible that I provoked the black screen by using liquidsmooth on the system1 slot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
Not likely. Liquid Smooth has been in my #1 slot for quite a while. (Not stock side, just 1st slot on safestrap....)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] taufiqs:
very unlikely
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeunc:
This may have been answered elsewhere , but I am coming from an S4 and I was wondering why my Droid Turbo when I pick it flashes the lock screen.

I have moto display turned on for notifications and I like that, I do not have the the wave/hand proximity turned on.

The phone will slide in the car seat and the lock screen will come on I pick it up and it flashes on. Then it goes on and I keep moving it around it will then flash back on again. Or every time I take it out of my pocket it comes on.

I heard something about Moto screens breathing or something.

thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ally Android:
Moto Actions controls that. I actually like it because I can check the time just by waving my hand over the phone without having to hit a button. You could try disabling Moto Actions to see if that helps.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeunc:
All the moto actions are disabled, I only have active display on to show notifications. The one where you wave to turn the screen on is not enabled

thx
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ally Android:
Did you just turn off the settings or disable the app?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeunc:
Here is what I see happening, if you turn on Moto Display to flash notifications, each time I just pick the phone or move it the lock screen and time flahes.

If I turn off Moto Display, no notifications flash and when I move the phone no lockscreen, no nothing.

Should be a way to see the notifications flash in and out, but not react to just moving the phone by flashing lock screen

thx
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ally Android:
There are two separate apps in play here. Moto Display and Moto Actions.

Moto Display is what you want to keep active so that it will show you on the lock screen when you get a message, etc.

Moto Actions is what happens when you move your hand towards the phone.

If you go into your apps settings and manually disable the Moto Actions app. It will prevent the phone from flashing the lock screen when it detects movement.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeunc:
I know,. all the Moto Actions are turned off, I only have Moto Display on and have chosen the apps I want to show.

Phone sits on the desk, for a few minutes screen black I reach over and pick it up lock screen comes on

I just restarted and no change

thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CoreyWillWhat:
Do you have "Approach" turned off under moto actions? Cuz that's exactly what it sounds like you have turned on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tlgem:
Mine does the same thing it may be because the twist for camera is on? all other options are turned off (battery Saving)

Every time I move the phone the notification screen lights up but I noticed if you cover the proximity sensor on the top of phone it doesnt light up at all
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] allenrb2:
Its part of the active display. It comes on when the phone is moved. I do wish there was a setting for it to only come on when you have a notification, but there isn't a setting for that that I know of. I know a lot of ppl like this "feature," but I do miss just the simple notification led.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeunc:
i do not have approach or twist for camera on at all. I only have the notify on notifications.

phone sitting there , black screen just lift one side up and the screen comes on
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lorensalas:
Moto Actions/Moto Dispaly

Interesting thread because it illustrates the various preferences we all have in interacting with our phones. I think it's pretty neat that Moto developed these options despite the fact that I've turned off some of the features.

For example, I don't need it to sense my eyes, so I turned off that. I don't need it to turn on each time I wave my hand. It was turning on with shadows/sun/clouds while driving and anytime I'd move my arm. Don't like that.

What I do like is the intermittent notifications as well as the screen turning on if I move the phone. What we do with the notifications is pretty cool too. I like my Turbo Droid.

Cheers!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joshm.1219:
Seems to be some confusion in here.

Moto Display uses two methods to turn on the screen. It uses the phone's accelerometer to tell if you move the device. If you move the device at all, Moto Display will turn on. Only way to stop this is to turn off Moto Display.

The other method uses the front IR sensors to detect if you wave your hand in front of the screen. This method can be turned off within Moto Actions.

The screen constantly flashing (especially in the car) is annoying, but it has almost no battery impact.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] joeunc:
That's what I was looking for, so it's the accelerometer making it come on as I don't have the hand activation turned on, I just have the moto notifications in Moto display turned on
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zeemu28:
Here is the right solution

Go to settings > App > In all app tab select these two app 1) Moto Display 2) Moto Action, now disable these both app and now the phone wont flash clock..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Raistlen0:
If you have RR Rom installed I think there is an option to turn on and off the hand wave and/or the "pick-up" sensing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] alienacmartin:
I found out how to stop the clock and battery circle when I move. You set it by just clicking the Moto app. And turn it off.

It's not done I'm settings. You have to open the app from the home screen.

Trust me, the thing blinking every time I moved when the screen was turned off was driving me nuts!

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] el_chiefo:
Thank you for your thorough review. I just purchased the official case yesterday from Samsung with a 50% discount coupon, after which, I started researching reviews and cases for it and found that many of the cases I was contemplating on purchasing were no longer fitting. I previously owned the Note 2 with a stick-on qi wireless coil and it worked great so I was leaning towards the same solution for the Note 4 but reading reviews about them seemed to point that the fact that it interferes with the NFC module. I use SoftCard (formerly ISIS) on a daily basis so this leads me to use the OEM back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] h3ck:
What's the 50off coupon? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] uapyro:
When you register your note 4 with Samsung (and the samsung account), you should be emailed a coupon for 50% of of items $50 or less from their website
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zurkx:
this is a silly "review" and an even sillier analysis.

It completely ignores the fact that all your data is on the device and if you ever have to replace it its a huge pain to back it up and restore it.

It also completely ignores how fragile the device is without a case on it.

It ignores the problem of fumbling around trying to find the correct way to insert the usb cable into the microusb slot (and if you insert the wrong way the tab can snap off) in the dark and trying to mount it on a car charger when you want to just get in the car and drive. it ignores the fact that wires running everywhere make a mess.

I have an iblason armorbox case and the samsung wireless back. Case fits perfectly, when i want to charge i just throw it on the charger. phone doesnt get below 90% throughout the day. I have an ebay 6000mah wireless charger in my bag, a wireless pad in my bedroom in a box and a wireless car charger. When i get home i literally throw the phone into the box and its charging instantly. i put the phone on my car cradle and it charges instantly. I put the phone with a rubberband in my bag attached to the wireless charger and it keeps charging while in my bag. no wires required. once a week i connect the usb cable from the 6000mah portable charger to a computer and leave it. overnight it gets topped up and ready to use for the next week. ive dropped the phone twice already (bumped it off a table and it fell from a placement on top of the car to concrete) with no issues. i dont have any silly insurance and the phone is zero hassle. i can use it in the rain, snow, dust, mud etc without worrying. the phone is always at 100% (never gets below 90%) and i dont need to worry about running out of battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] syngiun:
Thank you for your opinion. I will keep mine.

I backup on a regular basis and restoring is easy.

I agree the device is fragile without a case.

I don't want the armorbox or otterbox or any other case that significantly increases the dimensions and bulk of the handset.

I don't charge in the car because I have short drive times.

I don't care for having to box or bag my phone throughout the day.

My job is not at a desk so I can't let the phone sit on a charging pad while at work.

I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on three or four wireless chargers to be distributed throughout my daily locations.

Wireless charging isn't mainstream enough yet to go completely wireless across all devices within reasonable costs. Other devices still require the cord mess. I am an "all in" or nothing sort of person.

The main reason for keeping the insurance is replacement in case of theft. Any new electronics are theft targets. I have had 2 phones stolen in the past. In one instance, I located the thief, removed a few teeth and repossessed my phone. The other went offline as soon as it was stolen and was untraceable. The insurance saved me from buying a new $600 handset out of cash.

Regardless of either of our subjective opinions, I mainly wrote the review to post the facts and figures of physical size and power output limitations. I will wait for resonant charging technology to be released and re-evaluate the cost benefit at that time. My analysis and opinions are there simply to get people to think about the pros and cons.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Wireless charging is way overrated imo. It charges much slower and you still need to have a cord for the charger itself (obviously). It literally takes almost the same amount of time to plug in the USB cord as it does to find the sweet spot of a wireless charger. At this point it's simply a novelty imo. Nothing more.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JasonJoel:
Each to their own. Any good 3 coil charge base has an enormous sweet spot, so hunting for position is not an issue at all.

If you get calls at night a lot (for work or other), the wireless charging is a god send. Trying to plug it in multiple times in the dark is ridiculous.

Now, when we have reversible connectors, my opinion might change.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
I hear you man, I'm not saying it's totally worthless, but it's a very niche product imo. Like you have pointed out, it serves its purpose for some people. But I think for the average Joe, plugging in is just fine.

I do see where you are coming from however.
