FOR INSTALLING RECOVERY
How to install recovery based on this:
U can either wait for Flashtool to be updated
OR
Do the following:
1. Download Z xRecovery-0.3_GBready
2. [OPTIONAL] If u dont have ADB then download minimal adb
3. Extract the GBready xRecovery to c:\
4. Run the following to push the recovery files to temporary directory (/data/local/tmp/)
Code:
adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\bin\chargemon /data/local/tmp/.
adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\bin\charger /data/local/tmp/.
adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\xbin\sh /data/local/tmp/.
adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\xbin\xrecovery.tar /data/local/tmp/.
5. Remount /system using adb shell (keep screen active/unlocked to accept/allow the Superuser request)
Code:
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
6. Now copy the files to correct location & correct the permissions (within the adb shell from above step)
Code:
cp /data/local/tmp/chargemon /system/bin/.
cp /data/local/tmp/charger /system/bin/.
cp /data/local/tmp/sh /system/xbin/.
cp /data/local/tmp/xrecovery.tar /system/xbin/.
chmod 0755 /system/bin/chargemon
chmod 0755 /system/bin/charger
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sh
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/xrecovery.tar
7. Done now reboot and enjoy full rooted stock rom with recovery
Trouble-shooting:
incase adb server doesnt start try the following-
•try rebooting PC
•exit flashtool and other adb requiring services!
•preferably exit antivirus & close all other apps
OR
Replace file recoveryX10.tar.bz2 in FlashTool\custom\xRecovery with file from new folder in this zip >>> FlashTool xRecovery Patch

Rooting your mobile may void the warranty and you are doing it at your own risk. Sony would be in no way responsible for any damage.
For flashing firmwares, see the Guide Below
{GUIDE} Install ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich) on Xperia™ Smartphones, Root and Downgrade to Gingerbread
This post is for rooting 2011 Xperias. For 2012 Xperia See reply number 1 below
How to root 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587 & 4.1.B.0.431)
We cannot root 4.1.B.0.587 directly, so to root it we first flash 4.1.A.0.562 kernel, run the rooting toolkit and in the end flash 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.
Few devices don't have their own 4.1.A.0.562 kernel, so we need to flash the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel of other devices just to root. However all devices have 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.
Follow all the steps.
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
Download Flashtool
Windows Users > Flashtool
Linux Users > Flashtool ( From previous release tab, download 0.9.0.0 version)
After installing flashtool, reboot your PC.
1 ) Download the respective 4.1.A.0.562 kernel to flash
Arc and Arc S - Kernel
Ray - Kernel
Neo/Neo V - Kernel
LwW, Mini - Kernel
Active - Kernel
Neo L - Kernel
All other users - Kernel or even try the kernels for Arc S and Ray
2) Go to C:/ Drive > flashtool > firmwares > delete everything present and put the downloaded kernel
3) Run Flashtool > click on the flashing icon ( left side below "file" option)
Select flashmode > ok
Setup should be like this > select OK
Flashtool Setup Screenshot
Follow the steps, connect your mobile and flash. Note: on devices with touch navigation keys, hold volume down key instead of back button while connecting your device.
Flashtool may show error after flashing kernel, no worries. Even your build number and android version won't change. Everything would remain same so please don't visit phone's settings to check anything
4) After flashing restart your device, It may not start completely, may remain at Sony logo or with blank/black screen.
Whatever the status is, just restart your device and proceed with the rooting >
Download Rooitng toolkit > 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and extract it.
( Make sure you close flashtool before running the rooting toolkit )
Now connect your mobile to PC ( Mobile should be ON) and wait for 2 minutes. Then run the rooting toolkit. When it says all done, close it. disconnect your phone and switch it off ( By pressing power button/ or by taking out the battery and reinserting it).
5) Download Kerenls, If you are on 4.1.b.0.431 rom then download the respective kernel, same goes for 4.1.B.0.587
For Neo L > Download the kernel version on which your phone is running 4.1.B.0.626 or 4.1.B.0.631
Xperia
4.1.B.0.431
4.1.B.0.587

How to Root Lenovo S939? And how to install VIBEUI_V1.5_1417_2_DEV_S939_NK_W_B215_MultiLang_GAPPS_
I bought a Lenovo S939 with a multilanguage ROM and GAPPS (aNDROID 4.2.2 - S939_S124_131211). After the system update to the 4.4.2 ( VIBEUI_V2.0_1434_2_ST_S939) all the system (including Apps) have appeared in Chinese (I could choose English as system language): I managed to install Google Play (installing GMSTools), and I could download Almost all Google Apps (some of them are not compatible with this version, for example G+ is not in Google play at all).
In order to have a multilanguage version with all the functions I had in the original 4.2.2 Android version I've downloaded VIBEUI_V1.5_1417_2_DEV_S939_NK_W_B215_MultiLang_GAPPS_(link http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-s939-4-4-2-multilang/) and I've followed all the instruction (after installing all the software I needed) illustrated in the linked web page. I don't have any problem along the whole process, but at the end, when i connect my phone the red bar doesn't appear and nothing happens.
What happens? what's the mistake?? My phone is not rooted.
I have tried to root it in different ways. but it seems impossible. Do yo know how to root S939?
Thanks

Finding out how much root space does each app take...
Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to find out how much root space does each installed app take, like a X-terminal command or something? Just want to figure out if i have some "non-optified" programmes (I believe this is the right term, but could very well be wrong) Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thaaaaats better
Wow.. MC is a freaking space hog! 5meg of root space
libmagic is interesting.. not sure what needs that.. it's used by software to tell what file type a file is.. it can look at a jpeg, for example and tell you it is a jpg.. clever stuff really (it doesn't use the file extension like windows) so I assume this is possibly midnight commander too..
Out of all the extra packets you've installed, they're using 19,184,792 bytes of root space.. 18meg..
5meg is midnight commander, 3 meg is QT3 support (not sure why you have that) and another 1.3meg is libmagic and 2 meg is some Python stuff..
Killing off midnight commander would free some space... (why this isn't on /opt, I don't know) but realistically you've not used too much.. you should be fine!
---edit---
I finished re-reading your post, not just the log file.. HA!! The funny thing is, doing this command line stuff is second nature to me.. I frequently do it in my sleep The N900 is therefore the ideal phone for someone of this disposition.. I need to find out blah statistics.. erm.. COMMAND LINE
If you want to wander down such a particularly perverse path, I'm happy to help out and newbieness is always forgiven
But it just shows what you can get away with using nothing more than litterally a few command line commands! pretty neat really! -

If there is many folders and pdf files in there and a pdf file is at root and the root pdf file has many link to pdf files.
In Windows OS links work well. but In Android OS, not working. when I click links, there is no difference. How can I fix it?Hi,
Are you trying to open a portfolio or a pdf with attachments on Adobe Reader on Android or a pdf file with links(in form of text) to other pdfs? Would it be possible for you to share the pdf with us at [email protected] so that we may investigate?

I am trying to access some of my songs on itunes on my pc but it's says I need to install icloud. I did this but it says I need to sync my phone but that is an android phone. It says my apple id is valid but still won't let me sign in. How can I get round this?

All this and I still don't have enough space on my startup disk, but that's another whole question!
No, this should be the number one thing you are concerned about.
Until you get this sorted, there is a good chance you may simply lose everything.
Do you hav ean external drive?
If so copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ empty the trash and recover this space.
Do this then Apple menu > Software update.
Restart the computer
Then post back. -
How I rooted my Arc S and removed apps I don't need
WARNING: Here be dragons. I don't work for SE but was surprised that my Arc S came with some apps that you cannot remove without rooting your device. Seeing as internal memory space is already a bit limited I decided to root so I could run the wonderful Titanium Backup app and remove the stuff I had no interest in. I'm posting this in case others wish to do the same but I accept no liability if you remove something important and your phone crashes or won't boot. If you do screw it up then you should be able to use the PC Companion tool to restore the stock image.
FWIW I have an Xperia Arc S running the .42 firmware image.
Root your phone using the Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit v3.0 (zergRush Exploit). Full details can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350 It's very easy and happens so quickly you'll wonder if it did anything at all.
After restarting your device you can check it's rooted by seeing if you now have Superuser and Terminal Emulator apps in your app drawer.
Next download Titanium Backup from the Market. There is a free version available.
Fire up Titanium Backup and tap the Backup/Restore button at the top of the screen. You will be greeted with a long list of apps. To remove an app simply tap it and choose Un-install but I urge you to use the Backup option first to back it up to your SD card!. Here is the list of apps that I removed from my phone:
Adobe Flash (I don't bother with web sites that require Flash)
Adobe Reader (reading PDFs on my device isn't something I do)
Anonymous Usage Stats (I don't need to send stuff to SE)
Chinese Keyboard (I'm not Chinese)
Crash Monitor (phone is fine without it)
Data Monitor (I use a separate O2 UK app for monitoring data)
devicemonitor (phone is fine without it)
Email (I use gmail exclusively)
FOTA Kill (sounds like something the CIA want on your phone *cough*)
Friends games & applications (I'd really rather not know)
Friends music & videos (ack, a friend of mine posts a 100 YouTube videos on FaceBook a day - drives me nuts)
FUN&downloads (if you say so!)
Home screen tips (a widget that gives you Android tips)
Lets Golf (no, let's not)
Magic Smoke Wallpapers (goodbye battery)
Music Visualization Wallpapers (goodbye battery)
OfficeSuite (I use Google Docs instead)
POBox Touch (something to do with the Japanese keyboard)
QC SEMC Service (some quality control app? Removing it hasn't done any harm)
R2R Client (Ready To Run - not sure what it is but phone is fine without it)
Retail Demo (I don't work in a phone shop)
Sakura (Chinese keyboard skin)
SecureClockService (this might be DRM related - which I avoid like the plague - and removing it has done me no harm)
Setup guide (I'm cool with not having this)
SIM Toolkit (I don't even have an icon for this anyway)
Sony Ericsson Sync (deprecated by Sony anyway)
Sony Ericsson Sync client wizard (ditto)
Street View (never use it)
Support (I use this forum!)
Talk (I hate Google Talk as it can drain your battery if you don't disable it)
TrackID (I use Shazam)
Update center (removing this will disable OTA updates but I use PC Companion for updates)
Wisepilot (I use Google Maps)
Woody (Chinese Keyboard skin)
Xperia Hot Shots (No thanks)
Your mileage may vary but I went from 320MB or storage to 420MB. Any my device feels snappier and I bet my battery life is better without running extra services.
There is a more comprehensive list to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
Exercise caution and if you're not sure then you can use the Freeze option in Titanium Backup to stop the app from running without deleting it.
REMEMBER TO BACK THESE APPS UP BEFORE YOU USE THE UN-INSTALL OPTION!Hello
I rooted my Sony Ericsson Arc S by following your excellent and easy to understand instuctions in order to remove some of the unwanted crap that came preloaded on the phone and in order to install the rooted version of Avast antivirus/antitheft app.
Everything has worked perfectly well for the last few months since doing this however now I am unable to update the phone via the sony ericsson update service.
Please advise

How to Root a Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 2015 version
I am not responsible for any damage that may affect your Device! Rooting is the first step to customise your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Yes your warranty becomes void after that. So chill. No matter where you read that its very risky or something like that, I'll say refrain from going to those sites. They are just putting unnecessary fear into your mind. Most probably they fear You could make your device function better than them.So lets go on with it. I've made it simple for you. Just follow the steps. Step 1: Download and install Kingo Android Root. (THE LAST VERSION)Step 2: Double click the desktop icon of Kingo Android Root and launch it.Step 3: Plug your Android device into your computer via USB cable.Step 4: Enable USB Debugging mode on your Android device.USB Debugging mode enabled is a necessary step of Android rooting process.*INPORTANT: Pay attention to your device screen for a prompt window. Tick "Always allow from this computer". If you don't, you will probably get yourself an OFFLINE DEVICE.5. Read notifications carefully before rooting your device.6. Click "ROOT" to root your device.Kingo Android Root will employ multiple exploits on your device, which will probably take a couple of minutes. In the rooting process, your device may be rebooted several times. Do not be panic, it is perfectly normal. And once it begins, please DO NOT touch, move, unplug or perform any operation on your device.7. Root succeeded, click "Finish" to reboot your device.8. Check the root status of your device.9-Enjoy your Root in your new Lenovo Tab 2 A10 *Android rooting is a modification process to the original system, in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed and thus resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps and even facilitate the removal and replacement of the device's operating system with a custom one. Rooting your device will immediately void your warranty...
I was able to root it using Kingoroot, but it needed some help! Kingo said the root was successful, but the tablet was not really rooted. Some apps, like Greenify, would not work correctly. I unrooted, then rerooted with the same result. The last time I did this, the Kingo Superuser app said it needed an update to its binary. Instead of updating it, I installed Super SU 2.46 and then had it update its binary. After a restart, I was fully rooted. I have not removed the Kingo Superuser app or updated Super SU. If it is not broken, do not fix it! ;p). I also was interested in installing Xposed, but at the start of the installation, it warned me that the app was not compatible with some of the tablets hardware (processor or chipset?), so I removed the installer. I would not install it until Xposed is updated. The only other thing I would like to do is install Clockwork Mod recovery, but I am not sure if it is compatible with the Tab 2.

Does anyone know how to get the "root" action to work in 3.0?
It used to be (1.0 and 2.0) that using "_root." would go to the
root level of the movie (leaving a movie clip) and then you could
control the timeline (or target another movie clip), but now it
doesn't work.
Even using the Actions panel's "Target Path" - which puts in
"root" doesn't work. I understand the underscore has been
depreciated...
This is frustrating. I need to be able to make multiple movie
clips work with each other and none of the documentation explains
this issue.
Thanks,
MikeThe closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root
of the
ActionScript 3.0 display list.
Can you explain about how you want to make these movieClips
work with each
other?

How to root out memory leak with Java JNI & Native BDB 11g ?
We are testing a web application using the 32-bit compiled native 11g version of BDB (with replication) under 32-bit IBM 1.5 JVM via JNI under 64-bit RedHat Linux. We are experiencing what appears to be a memory leak without a commensurate increase in Java heap size. Basically the process size continues to grow until the max 32-process size is reached (4Gb) and eventually stops running (no core). Java heap is set to 2Gb min/max. GCs are nominal, so the leak appears to be native and outside Java bytecode.
We need to determine whether there is a memory leak in BDB, or the IBM JVM or simply a mis-use of BDB in the Java code. What tools/instrumentation/db statistic should be used to help get to root cause? Do you recommend using System Tap (with some particular text command script)? What DB stats should we capture to get to the bottom of this memory leak? What troubleshooting steps can you recommend?
Thanks ahead of time.
JE.
Edited by: 787930 on Aug 12, 2010 5:42 PMThat's troublesome... DB itself doesn't have stats that track VM in any useful way. I am not familiar with SystemTap but a quick look at it seems to imply that it's better for kernel monitoring than user space. It's pretty hard to get DB to leak significant amounts of memory. The reason is that it mostly uses shared memory carved from the environment. Also if you are neglecting to close or delete some object DB generally complains about it somewhere.
I don't see how pmap would help if it's a heap leak but maybe I'm missing something.
One way to rule DB out is to replace its internal memory allocation functions with your own that are instrumented to track how much VM has been allocated (and freed). This is very easy to do using the interfaces:
db_env_set_func_malloc()
db_env_set_func_free()
These are global to your process and your functions will be used where DB would otherwise call malloc() and free(). How you get usage information out of the system is an exercise left to the reader :-) If it turns out DB is the culprit then there is more thinking to do to isolate the problem.
Other ideas that can provide information if not actual smoking guns:
-- accelerate reproduction of the problem by allocating nearly all of the VM to the JVM and the DB cache (or otherwise limit the allowable VM in your process)
-- change the VM allocated to the JVM in various ways

Android and mtp - only for root
I''m trying to access my Android tablet via usb cable. I read the wiki page on mtp and I tried mtpfs, go-mtpfs and simple-mtpfs.
Each time I have the same problem, it doesn't work as user, only as root. As user mtp-detect doesn't find anything. As root simple-mtpfs works ok.
I uncommented user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf and added myself in fuse group (that didn't exist) as archwiki suggested.
Any idea what's the problem?
Thanks!FWIW, if you are trying to transfer files between your android device and computer, I have found that using some kind of network file service on your computer works great. So I have a file server that runs a samba service (for my family), ssh/sftp (for me), and nfs4 (also for me). Unfortunately, I have not found a decent nfs application for android. But using either samba/smb or sftp seems to work great over my LAN. Then it can all be handles wirelessly as well.
I have noticed that there are quite a few file manager applications for android that also include clients for sftp, ftp, smb, and some of the online syncing services (like dropbox). So I use my file manager application, which I think is called Solid File Manager. Of course, you could also use bittorrent sync to handle this as well, though on my device it seems to eat away at the battery rather quickly.
