[Q] Reboot fix not working for Xperia M dual C2004 build 15.2.A.2.5

I want to swap internal-external sdcard or mount folder app so that I can play big games with large data. For this, I rooted my phone with Impactor, and tried remount reboot fix by NUT and reboot fix by Anto Kus. But till now the phone reboots on using folder mount. Also my phone reboots while using a dual partitioned sdcard to use it with Link2sd. I have tested root checker which shows phone is rooted. I am using Titanium Backup without any problems. Should I go for bootloader unlock?
My phone xperia m dual c2004, 4.2.2, build 15.2.A.2.5.
Thanks

I had already installed busybox and followed the procedure shown in the thread. The busybox is supported but inspite of root access, I can't change permissions in system files as a result the reboot fix is not working. Somewhere I read unlocking bootloader will help. Is it?

yes u must unlock bootloader for use full root access like change permission etc

No, you don't need to unlock your bootloader to get full root access. Try this updated version of the reboot fix and then you're fully rooted...
Unlocking your bootloader will give you full root access without using root tools, exploits, etc., but many proprietary Sony apps will not work anymore because your DRM keys will be wiped when you unlock the bootloader...

I have already backed up bootloader using TA backup and got bootloader key from Sony website. But can I claim warranty, if I restore locked bootloader? Or warranty is void, not reversible.

Ya, I know about the cons of unlocking bootloader. Thats why I am still waiting for other ways. I have also tried the fix by NUT from the forum which u gave link but still not fully rooted as it is unable to write in system folder. But other root operations like removing bloatware is done without any problems. Thats strange. Busybox is installed by NUT which supports part of the fix but the other scripts did not work in system.
By the your xm dual c2004 was updated to build 15.2.A.2.5 or is it from out of box like mine?

What script is basically not working

The scripts in the fix tool like killswitch.sh, etc. which needs to run to avoid reboot while mounting.

Is your phone same model and build like mine? I think it is due to the build version.

If not working then you may update it via sony update service and reset phone
then follow guide again to root
According to guide use the same busybox as mentioned open and install it
or try from beggining again
Here are steps
use injector
install super su from google play
open and use super su
and install it binaries
install busy box x as mentioned
then open it and install allow root access if asked
then use reboot fix by NUT
follow cmd guide
and allow adb when ask permission
then phone will reboot
Then its written wait to check fix
And then its done press continue
done
use folder mount have fun
then

My C2004 also have full root access with locked bootloader, just updated to 15.2.A.2.5 through Sony Update Service, used Cydia Impactor, installed SuperSU from Play Store and then ran the script I linked to you. After all I have full root access, can remount system without problems and my bootloader still locked...

I have again followed the procedure as you mentioned. Everything worked except the fix. While waiting to check the fix, the phone reboots again. I am attaching the snapshots of the terminal window from which you may know the problem.

Stuck in boot loop after doing this on sony xperia m dual (C2004) with android 4.3 build 15.A.1.5. (and this bootloop doesn't solve after removing SD , i had to repair using PC companion)
Following are the details of the process i followed:
1)Root using towel root
2)Installed superSU to manage SU accesss, verified root with Root checker,
3) installed Universal init.d to get init.d support
4) moved all data to external/0 folder
5) moved the script provided, named 11extsd2internalsd to system/etc/init.d and changed the permissions(checked all boxes)
6) FAIL, this got me in boot loop on restarting and had to repair my phone to get the phone to startup.
Am i missing any thing..any help is much apprecited

[Q] Root 5.0.1 ?

Hi all...... I have just got a breif question maybe there is no root out yet for 5.0.1 or I am just being stupid but i had 4.4 rooted and updated to 5.0.1 lollipop i do have a custom recovery being twrp, however i cannot install the binary i get ......
There is no binary installed and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem !
if you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re~root consult the relevnt forums...
i have tried uninstalling super su but it wont uninstall as im not rooted... i have tried manually installing the supersu binary.zip from sd card
and tried installing a different supersu nothing will work any ideas people

Which TWRP did you use?
I flashed 2.7.0.1 but when i try to boot to recovery I get the white screen with the red warning at the bottom, and "booting into recovery" in pink at the top, but then it fails and reboots to normal system.

not working
i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1....
if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android

Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing

Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.

I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed

You may want to download a root checker app to verify. If it wasn't root properly, I would re-download the SuperSU zip and install it once more.

tried root checker, i got this message : (( Congrats, root access is properly installed on this device )) in green color.
so my device is rooted, why i still can't gain access to that app ( xmodgames ) i used to gain access when on 4.4.4
did any body tried this app on 5.0.1 ???

My guess is the given app is not compatible with Lollipop.
Try a couple other apps that require root access; e.g., root file explorer.

mmmm, maybe you are right, coz checker is ok, other some apps needs root works fine, like root explorer, aptoide, busybox, but xmodgames

i heard some talks about flashed kernel.

Lineage OS can't get root acces... HELP!

Hello everyone! I installed recently Lineage OS 14.1 on my Zenfone 2 and I saw that there is root acces just for ADB.. so I googled the thing and I found out that I had to install the su binary.. so , I downloaded it , booted into recovery, flashed the zip( successfully), booted the system and went into settings and I saw that now I have access to root for apps to.. until here , everything was nice, but after that, I downloaded Root Checker to verify if the root is working and guess what? It wasn't.. I searched everywere, but no results..if somebody can help me, please reply.. Regards.

Have you tested it, by connected via ADB and do a "su" command? Same with a terminal emulator on your phone?

> just saw that I have access to it
You should choose that, man.

Have you tried running the command "adb root" first and then "adb shell" ?

Did you install the superuser x86 zip from LineageOS - https://download.lineageos.org/extras? I know you said you did, but make sure it's the x86 version. You'll also need to go back to root access and turn it on for apps and adb.

In my case it wouldn't not only not work with the official LineageOS root method, it wouldn't accept any other method I tried.
The ones I tried (Magisk and SuperSU) got me stuck into recovery boot without being able to get back to the system and I had to do a clean flash to get it back working again.
Fortunately this solution worked and now I have my Zenfone 2 rooted. Thanks!
