Make system writable

Thanks so much! This worked!

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

I was trying those steps through ADB originally. This actually worked after I downloaded Terminal from the Play Store. Thanks so much!!!
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
you are welcome sir

i am glad i was help :)
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
What is working? Only the second command?

mount -o rw,remount /system

Or do you need to enter the first command

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

too?

Because, at my device, only entering the second command won't work. There is an error like "filesystem is in use" or something like this; I can't remember exactly...
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
If you have root, this one should work. If your device locked and you have not root access then not work.

Try my patched kernels 376 or 378..
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
My z5c is rooted, yes. And trying to remount /system as r/w failes.

For a z5c?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
How root your phone? If you have FTF that you use now, open it via 7zip and share kernel.sin file.
[Xperia Z5 General] Ahyricks:
Tells me mount not found
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
You make the command wrong "mount'blankspace'-o"
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
My z5c has been rooted using Lollipop rom and a tool named iovyroot_v0.4.zip.

I'm using the normal Marshmellow 6.0.1 ftf that you can download via flashtool and xperifirm tool. Nothing special...

---------- Post added at 22:46 ---------- Previous post was at 22:44 ----------

And with a whitespace before /system

mount <[I]whitespace[/I]> -o <[I]whitespace[/I]> remount,rw <[I]whitespace[/I]> /system
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
To fixing your problem, why I download whole 2gb FTF file?

If you have it, share kernel.sin then i will patch your kernel to making /system writeable..
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
Berni,

I noticed you have posted a screenshot from Root Checker showing your phone is rooted. When I got to the same point, I downloaded Terminal Emulator for Android from the Play Store, started it, typed "su" (without quotes) and then the two commands mentioned. You've disabled SONY-RIC, right? Also, I assume you have installed busybox through the zip and the apk.

Any luck?

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

Of course I tried creating a text file in the system directory in FX and I got the error 'Access was denied'! Is this a temporary permission change? Do we need the solution from [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] on Tobias' thread of the repack of the stock kernel thread?
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
try root browser. I have been able to create folders and .sh files un /system/etc/
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:

Repacked your kernel(you send to me Android 7 kernel). What you have know?

DM-Verity disabled

Sony RIC disabled

TWRP installed

SuperSU installed

Permissive su granted

busybox installed

kcal installed

Fully /system Access (read/write)

Flash this kernel via fastboot. Click Here to Download

[B]fastboot flash boot boot_Berni-0815.img[/B]

You can delete ALL System Apps with System App Remover ROOT APP
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
Actually I'm using 6.0.1. But with that I have no problems. Only with nougat I can't delete system apps. That's why I send you a nougat kernel.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
SuperSU most stable for Nougat. phh did not work sometimes with Nougat.

kcal : you can adjust screen options. it is really good for eye health. you can use CF.lumen app or alternatives..
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
They are talking about heavy battery drain...

Oh, ok. That's new for me; thanks!
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
the battery drain on superSU is very high, also i am usining PHH SuperUser and its working just fine.

I would not recoment embedding kcal in the kernel itself in to kernel altough its a very good screen filter utility. the less you flash the more better you device will perform. almost 300mb ram is always occupied while kernel is running beside stockrom. embedding more will affect performance.
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
embedded superuser in to kernel ALWAYS give batter drainage issues! that why tobias gave support to PHHs superuser from script version 5.22 with promise that he will look in to the issue.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
I have not issued battery drain on N due to SuperSU, N has battery drain issue anyway. I prefer to use MAGISK, so it doesn't matter for me.

This is the most recent flagship that produced by Sony, so performance is not a problem for this device.
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
Cannot make system writable

I tried it again and the commands worked fine. I tried uninstalling Facebook, Xperia Lounge, What's New with System App Safe Remover and they showed up again. I tried going in to SASR after that, but it crashes and I can't!

Rebooted and boot loop started. The LED turns on red four times and then the phone stops at the Sony animation and then it reboots again. Any help would be appreciated!
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
is it possible if you could send me your kernel.sin and i will try making modified kernel for u

yasuhamed @ gmail dot com
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
Well i guess since i have Z5P varaint, larger 4k screen wit hsupersu only speeds up battery drain for me.

Well since you can't have MAGISK without SuperSU then there is not other choice for you.

about sony's latest flagship. rumors are there wont be 7.1 for z5series since Sony has closed Xperia Z project and now focusing on X project.

thats why there are not binaries released for 7.1 for z series

[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
Thanks, I'll do that later on, once I get to my PC. So what happened was that the WiFi seemed like it either went dead or the opposite; it went crazy! The slider inside Settings was black instead of either white or blue.

I think the phone was trying to download updates to the system apps that I had just uninstalled. The Play Store wasn't operable and the screen went crazy (changing colors or showing partial images). I reflashed Nougat again, since I had tampered with it and then I rehashed the kernel, installed TWRP, superuser, phhs and busybox.

It looks like this solution might need some more time. At least System App Remover isn't fully compatible. I think [MENTION=5813612]sceryavuz[/MENTION] had posted something about disabling the internet connection while at this junction.

Please let me know if you have the time to look into this further.

Thanks,

MW
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
System App Remover works without any issues. You are right close wifi close mobile internet connection then start to unsinstall app. When you uninstall a system app that updated before, System App Remover says failed. The app appear top of the list (blue restored text). You have to uninstall apps twice. If you have internet connection, app installed again.. YOU HAVE TO UNINSTALL Software Update for Lounge, What's New.. To uninstall Facebook completely first uninstall 2 com.facebok... apps. Then uninstall original Facebook app.
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
System App names

Thanks asker. Do you know of any other apps that start with "com" that need to be deleted first? After I deleted What's Up, I was getting a message that "com..." has to close. I forgot the name. Maybe you have some ideas.
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
auto updates (playstore / system via whatsnew) always slowsdown / hangs device. the only solution is to disable their autoupdate feature once in for all!

if /system don't have rw access , no system app works! but to my surprise, few members here having problems with apps even after rw access.

yes i agree, there has to be newer version in the patch kernel script to solve this issue!
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
It gives error when you uninstall that, because this program runs in this time. After reboot it will disappear.
[Xperia Z5 General] mobiware:
Thanks. I guess I never for the chance to reboot because the phone started going berserk and then it got soft bricked! So, I had to reinstall everything; FTF, kernel, recovery, superuser, busybox.

I want sure I understood what you mentioned earlier: do we have to uninstall all system apps twice with SAR or we just have to uninstall only those that updated themselves twice?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Only updated. Example : Lounge preinstalled system app. When you connect internet, it will updated immediately. Original version of Lounge was backuped by Android. If you uninstall update, then restored immediately original one. So you have close internet connection first. I will share what package should be deleted or not deleted after clean install FTF on thesedays
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
sir when you say you gave read / write access

could you paste the log here....

i am searching for particular kernel script version who after installing superuser or supersu ask the very next question of granting full access to /system for RW
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
I flashed the latest nougat for z5c (E5823_32.3.A.2.33_1298-1220-Customized-DE_R5D).

With that I can only mount /system r/w using

adb shell
su (enter password)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Now I can uninstall any app I want with the app root app deleter. :good:

What can i do that the phone is workin again?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Your phone is CID to the Terra's factory ROM. You have to get a Terra RUU from your manufacturer. But they won't like that if they find out you were trying to flash a third party ROM into their device.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayan Boricua:
I sideloaded settings.apk to my Fire Stick 2.

I opened it up, & accidently disabled wifi.

Now the stick barely boots past the logo, and displays a no network WiFi error message. It wants to connect to a network, but won't since Wifi is off. Rebooting has no effect.

Worst of all: the remote will no longer communicate with the stick. I guess that connects over wifi too.

I need to enable wifi again to unbrick my device. Or factory reset. But I can't use the remote. I have no way to input commands, that I know of. So the remote reset is a no go.

I will try to reset using adb commands over windows, connected via micro usb.

And/Or find a way to reflash the stock rom, or a custom one. I don't care about root. My stick is not rooted, runs some version of Fire OS, and its got Kodi and a few other apps sideloaded. Install Unknown Sources and Adb debug should both still be enabled.

Please help me guys! I need my tv back. What's my best course of action? Anyone got any steps, instructions or helpful links? I'm no expert, and I'd love experienced input.

You can deploy XAP files using a PC using USB cable. On Win 10 Mobile, you can install APPX using file explorer just like APK on Android or you can also use Device Portal (similar to reverse tethering).

Thank you

I did loads of research and I never stumbled upon Device Portal. Obviously you are ...:cool: (somebody) and thank you...

Unfortunately my phone runs Windows 8.1 and my laptop Windows XP. Is there something out there for me, to marry my two devices offline? I also want to downgrade to Windows 8 but probably there is not a user friedly and safe way (fa fu bee ga :o).
[Nokia Lumia 1020] nawat:
You're very welcome.

You can deploy apps from XAP files on WP8.1 but unfortunately not for XP. I understand that the deployment tools is from Visual Studio 2015 which requires Win 7 or higher. I've seen some sites extracts the deployment tool as a standalone app so you don't have to install visual studio. You can attempt to deploy XAP file this way. But I have no idea if it will work.

Hi,

My daughter has changed the lock pattern on her Z5 and then subsequently forgotten the lock pattern. She now cannot get into her phone.

The phone also doesn't give an option to enter a google account to unlock it.

I'm used to my nexus, so as a last resort, wiping the phone is pretty easy.

I've learned that Sony does not provide an installed recovery partition so wiping the phone is not easy.

I've tried booting a recovery via fastboot to wipe the phone which did not work.

I've tried unlocking the bootloader to then boot a recovery by:

- getting unlock code from sony

- putting phone into fastboot

- installing drivers and minimal adb fastboot

- running the following command: fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xUNLOCKCODEHERE

I get this error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

I've tried using flashtool (both official and unofficial). The official tool from sony says your phone is locked. The other flashtool gives me the same error as fastboot does (I assume it is running the same command).

What options do i have to either unlock the phone or wipe it?

Thanks

James
