I'm going to set fire on my xperia M

With so much anger i am writing this. So far my issue was reboot fix not detecting my phone. But i made it work by installing flashtool drivers. Now my phone is detected by rebootfix. But now t is getting stuck at copying files. Only 3 files seems to be copied and it is stuck from there. No matter how much i wait it is still stuck and there are no progress whatsoever at all. When i referred a video in youtube it shows that there are a few more files that are getting copied. Also in the video it seems like it only takes a few seconds for the whole process to be completed. But in my case i am forced for a long wait.:mad: So please somebody help me, I'm running out of my phone 's internal memory. Not even being able to update a single app. So this will be my last try. If this is also not going to work then i am going to set fire on my xperia m and will soon upload the video here. Please help to resolve my issue.. Anybody please..

Now it is working!

Hi! After some struggle with bootloops and Link2SD, I think I have found this solution works better than others. The only thing I recommend doing is run remountrebootfix two or three times before going on, because the first time I executed it, it didn't install the files properly. A message saying the filesystem wasn't properly mounted for writing appeared when it tryed to copy the scripts to the right places, at the first time. The second time it worked like a charm, but I runned a third, just because...
Now it is working! Thank you everybody!

problems with bootloop

Hi! I've rooted my xperia with this method, and everything was ok (root and remountrebootfix), but when i put partitioned sd card, link2sd send me a message - mount script created, please restart your device. After that, phone start rebooting, and wont turn on until I get off sdcard. I've tried all options for partitioning, won't work. I have locked bootloader and stock rom 4.3, xperia m c1905. Please help.:angel:

if still on locked bootloader i think you can't use link 2 sd, because your partition still can't mount perfectly. i suggest to use another apps like gl to sd bro :)

Which Android version and which Xperia are you running? Is it M?

I am using ZR with Android 4.4.2. I had similar symptoms and succeeded after 2 tries of remountrebootfix. As mentioned by a poster previously it is good to try upto 3 times the remountrebootfix procedure.

I am on locked bootloader and it works.

What is the file system being used on your 2nd SD partition?

Sony xperia m c1905, android 4.3. I tried 3x remountrebootfix, but still not working. I tried almost all system files on second partition - ext2, ext3, ext4 and fat32.

I tried other apps - app2sd, gl2sd, foldermount - every time same is happening (bootloop until I get off sd card)

Can't install busybox

Even though the Rootchecker says it's working, I still can't manage to install the Busybox, somebody please help me!
I'm getting the following errors:
"The su binary was not founf on your phone. This application will not work withyou root"
"I am unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this application to run are present and functional on your device.
This problem could be cause by a device that is not properly rooted or by superuser settings that are misconfigured. Please try the install again"

I've have already re-installed the root three times and i have no problems during the process, also I haven't moved a single option on SU, does anybody have any idea what to do?
I have an Xperia M c1904 with jellybean 4.3
