Normal applications (without root) cannot write to/system, so the SuperSU application itself cannot simply install su where it needs to be. Putting elsewhere will not suffice, because it will not have the permissions it needs to actually allow processes to switch users. Think of the SuperSU application as being a sort of graphical front-end for the su binary.īecause of the way directory/file permissions are configured on Android, you need to have the su binary on your /system partition in order for it to work.
tinted status bar (i love this module.make your android like ios7)Ĭouple questions: Can one use the () instead of installing the linked file with the custom recovery? Is the only reason for using the custom recovery to install the SuperSU program from a file? Sorry I'm confused what exactly the custom recovery does differently, and what does the linked SuperSU do differently? Thanks!.Greenify (getting awesome battery backup ).I recommend these apps you should install first after rooting It will ask 'root is broken' WHEN REBOOTING FROM CWM. PROCEDURE => IN CWM =>INSTALL FROM SD CARD => CHOOSE SUPER SU => RESTART type and press enter ĭONE just press volume down and then volume up to boot into cwm.go into adb tools folder => while pressing shift key => right click => and click open cmd here !.the twrp.img should be in this folder as well 7. open cmd and switch to the folder with fastboot.exe 6. power off your phone and start it in fastboot (power and vol-) 5.
copy 12.5.7 rom zip file from pc to your phone with usb 4. connect your moto g to your computer through data cable start your phone not in recovery and not in fastboot, start it as always 3.boot your phone into fastboot mode by pressing volume down key and pressing power key simultaneously, and then releasing power key.
extract adb drivers anywhere in your computer.
(c) Custom recovery (download from here ] i used cwm without touch OR USE PHILZ RECOVERY (4.4.4) CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER :- i thinks its already explained well at different sites and motorola's site also you don't need to downgrade your bootloader which is very risky I just need to figure out what address the variable for image size is stored at and change it.Yeah.
So I can reformat the partition to a larger size and hopefully force my recovery image in there That translates to the decimal number 33538048 Which seems weird, I've always seen hex in eight digit groupings but whatever Now fastboot getvar partition-size:recovery outputs So I type in fastboot getvar max-download-size and get max-download-size: 268435456 The error says "Mismatched partition size (recovery)" on the phone screen below getvar max-download-size The bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked, but I think I've figured out how the lock worksĪttempt to flash recovery and get rejected Now this little bastard is verizon branded and I wanted to reflash it.
