You need to have a custom recovery installed to flash a pre rooted rom. It's easier to use Towelroot to root your phone

Please install supersu from playstore and root browser

I have superSU but under the Apps tab, it's blank, how do I add "quick pic" there?
I've launched "quick pic" and tried to delete some photos, it can't be done.

I have run the SDFix, it reports that it's been done.
I used root brower and check, the permission for the SDcard is no "777".
I tried to change it to "777" and was told it's not allow by the system.
SuperSU did not pop out at any time to "enable my apps for root access"
how did u guys do it on Sony Xperia Z?

I was using the tr.apk to root, wondering if it's the right way?

Btw, both my internal and external sd card are on 777...

this is what I did:
1) copy towerroot.apk into phone, run it, and it says rooted
2) use root checker and it says it's rooted
3) using google play, and download superSU
4) load superSU and update binary
5) when using root browser, i can see ext sdcard not in 777
6) tried to change it to 777 and it says system not allow
7) installed titanium backup and it says it's rooted,
8) run titanium backup and back up some files
9) not able to see the titanium backup folder via usb thru the computer
10) only able to see it via the root browser, storage -> emulated -> titanium backup, and it's not 777
reflash the firmware? which one?
i'm thinking of using custom firmware

The one you're currently using. For example .230 .ftf file.
The steps you did are all right. It looks like there's somehow a software issue..

[Q] [Urgent] CSC and Installing CWM

Got root but I forgot to write down the original CSC could anyone find it ? - I remember PHNAL being in it...
I just installed Rom Manager as well but it's located on my phone memory, is that correct or do I have an option to install/place it on my sd card ?
Or better yet how could I install apps on my sd card, or do I need CWM installed first ?

Dont know about CSC, but maybe someone else..
No worries with Rom manager being installed in phone. If you change rom just reinstall Titanium backup and you can restore all your apps from your backups.
Check the settings in SuperSu. There's options for default actions.

I got it on prompt, should I set it on block instead? - I still didn't get asked where I wanted to auto. install my apps to though, link2SD the only option, any recommendations ?
If anything, should I get recovery file from CWM official site and put it on my sd card or just install through CWM on my phone ?

You won't get prompt when an app is installed, but when that app needs su for a command to execute.
You can install cwm through rom manager on phone.

Some apps I've found I had to browse to the external SD card by going mnt/sdcard/external_sd. I don't have my phone on me (getting repaired) so I can't check, but I found it pretty confusing. I had to actually go to my PC and browse to make sure it was actually pointing to the right spot.

i don't have file file manager

my phone : lg p970
android: 2.2.2
Play game Google did not work for me .. it write to me and I have no internet connection through the browser
I'm trying to break into the phone but I can not as long as I put a memory card and I can not find it without a file manager, I tried to send Bblotos but I can not find the file, what can you do?
I think i understood your question, just Use adb to install a file manager. Download The OI File Manager APK Directly Here:
http://openintents.org/en/filemanager
Just use this simple tut to Set up adb and install The apk.

You can even use Polaris office application to access files on your sd card
As @sarry86 said, Polaris office has a file manager.

I think it is an utility for rooting the phone.
Okay, now I got the following situation:
I do root your phone, the superuser installed on your phone.
And also installed through the app recovery rom maneger but old version maybe 3 I do not remember, I went to the menu of the recovery and did wipe everything and then I install the new version and wrote me
e / can not mount / sdcard
Then I could not install the version and did rebot phone I had version 2.2.2 in which
And the superuser is still installed on the phone ..
Currently do not have a file manager I can manually install software via the sd card if I'm going to market it wrote me the following message:
sorry there's not enough space to install this item
I also tried to go through Menu> settings> applications> manage apps to transfer software to sd card but do not have the option of that one.
What can I do?

This happened to me once. I mean the mounting and "not enough space" problem on 2.2.2.
But then I bought new and bigger sd card which (i donĀ“t know why) recovery could mount. Then I was able to flash a custom rom and when I rebooted the phone, "not enough space" problem was gone. I was able to install apps from google play again.
Maybe you should buy a new sd card card or at least format current one, that helped me

[Q] Apps wont detect SDcard

Some of my apps, like goldendict and rootexplorer, can't detect my sdcard, but my phone do detect. In fact, poweramp can read and play songs from it. Already tried resintalling those apps. Problem persist.
I'm on stock firmware 4.3 rooted and with doomlord dual recovery
i'm having a similar problem.
it's not like they don't detect it, they don't go there automaticly, whatsapp didn't look for backups there, bsplayer won't load movies from there, apps-backup don't look for backup files on the sdcard.
but if i try to manually tell any of them to go there some of them find it.
strange thing.. didn't happen in 4.2.2, i use iHackers rom 2.0
Did you tried the apps i said? How do i manually them? They don't have this option.
I'm thinking in going back to 4.2 what's the difference between them? Also, i can't mount /system is this a 4.3 problem or 4.2 have it to?

4.2 can mount /system as R/W because if you root it, you get full root but currently on locked bootloaders on android 4.3 you get only partial root.
I have root explorer and it can detect my sd card. Are you sure you are going to the right directory? /sdcard1 or /storage/sdcard1
Regards,
~J2C
But i have unlocked bootloader, what i got wrong? And you don't understand, root explorer don't even open. Goldendict open and says that i have no sdcard, then it closes...
SOLVED!! I just disabled Xprivacy from xposed and now everything works. I didn't configured yet, so it may work. I'll try to enable and configure it to have both working.
Shteren, do you use xprivacy too?

[Q] Help with root problem (apps that use sd card broken)

I rooted with kingo and installed Urdriod version 2 via safestrap version 3.75. Then installed Titanium backup pro. Problem is Titanium doesn't work anymore. All the options are not there. It is saying current backup location is inaccessible.
I then noticed that many of my applications that work in conjunction with the sd card do not work. Youtube is broken on 4G. Evernote is broken. Many of my games are broke as well.
I then did a clean install of another Rom Dynamic Kat. It didn't fix anything.
Any suggestions?
Install xposed framework and this module.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/kitkat-sd-card-access-t2790992
Its telling me every time that:
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
Could i do this manually some how?

You shouldn't need the zip did you try installing the apk?
It looks like its installed with the rom but not active. I cannot activate it and i cant seem to get the module to work either. I tried the apk but it just says that i already have it and it wont install.
Phone is alot less useful if it cant interact with the sd card. Is there another way to get this going or to get the phone to read the sd?
Is superuser installed and working?
yes it is. I don't believe it's that.

What error message are you getting when you try to install the framework from the xposed installer app? You might also try uninstalling the xposed installer app then installing the version from the download link
Here is exactly what the message says:
SDcard:/storage/emulated/0/android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
I know the copy I have isn't working but if I erase it I might never even get a copy on. But the copy I have won't even install or update.

Looks like this came up in the xposed forum here
Sounds like the xposed updater app extracts a backup to the external sd card during installation...which you can't access, hence the error. The consensus seems to be to install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en to fix the folder permissions then xposed should install properly.
Well I think installing FolderMount did the trick. after i put it on the phone it detected a script error and asked if i wanted to fix it.i agreed and it rebooted and that did it! Thanks everyone!!!!!
