HELP - Trying root SM-T235 running 4.4.2

As posted in the SM-T235 thread:
Used Krusader and Odin_3_ROM_Editor to:
Add the SU binary to system.img in /system/bin
Add the Superuser.apk to system.img in /system/app
Add busybox to the system.img in /system/app

Followed the instructions in the Odin_3_ROM_Editor thread to repack supplying the proper partition size.

Flashed using Odin 3.09
Completes flashing in Odin successfully,
Reset

The SM-T235 boots up to the animated Samsung logo and that's as far as it gets. never really hangs, but the animation continues endlessly.

After reflashing with the factory NE8 image, the device fails to connect to the mobile network. WiFi connectivity seems to work fine.
EDIT: After second restart Mobile network working fine on factory non-root image again.

Any idea why the device sits at the Samsung animation logo after flashing the rooted factory image.

Open Krusader but Use "Krusader with admin permission" (ctrl+shift+k) to move or add this files.
You also have to give permissions that apply, to know what these are, check the package UPDATE-SuperSU.zip Chainfire for your tablet model and try again.

[bovirus]

Thew tool for v. 5.0.2 has backward compatibility vs previous Android version.

Thanks for the awesome tools, it is very helpful. i love itso much. And i get some questions here, what does Dtim.recovery use for ? i got it in the offical firmware, but when i repacked it with your tool, i didn't found it any more. Does it mean something ? or just forget it.

ok, you can get already binaries for your system here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49993837&postcount=3
at we are will be to find error...

 

[M_J_Nazari]

thank you @A.S._id
another question, it seems created images have not correct permissions on files, how can i fix this issue please?

finally i made the system.img from my phone and it boots correctly , but there is no permissions for some files like su.
I tried another way to make system.img from linux but no success too , as i checked the problem it caused by file permission problem, it seems many files have not correct permissions, phone stays on samsung logo ( 2nd logo ), tried to catch the logcat, but i cant access too, this is the message, any idea please?

M:\>adb logcat
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -

for fix this problem you must look update script from supersu installer UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary
or to ask chainfire...

 

[A.S._id]

@M_J_Nazari

So! I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS x62 into virtual machine VirtualBox, has done all the steps from the first message and received no errors ...
Probably you've done something wrong ...

when i made system.img from my phone, SU was installed correctly, i just have problem when i restored the image from odin.

the issue has fixed since i updated java version to 7.0 , now i have no any errors, just some warning from gcc. i just ignore them.

allready i have problem on setting correct permissions, anyone has any idea please?

thank you

@M_J_Nazari

some ?

already i did it,
i didi all modification on rom, then created an image from my phone.

su
make_ext4fs -s -l 1500M -a system /sdcard/system.img /system

1500MB is for S4mini 9192

i installed system.img alone from odin, shall i install all images at the same time? (e.g. kernel, recovery, modem ...) could it be an issue?

 

[A.S._id]

@M_J_Nazari

I'll thinking, you has problem not with permission of the files, but SELinux contexts of this files, if you want to use your custom files and a stock kernel, you mast to add contexts permissions for this custom files. For this you must before making system.img enter command into terminal
$ restorecon -v

 

[Ctrl-Freak]

Howdy. I was hoping to get a little help using make_ext4fs to make a fastboot flashable image of a lollipop ext4 image of /system.

I've compiled make_ext4fs from several different android branches, and always get one of two different errors:

This first error looks like make_ext4fs is not using regex to locate the following from file_contexts:

/system(/.*)?           u:object_r:system_file:s0

sudo repack3/android_img_repack_tools/make_ext4fs -s -S file_contexts -l 1610612736 -a system  system_new.img sys1/

    Label:
    Blocks: 393216
    Block groups: 12
    Reserved block group size: 95
error: build_directory_structure: cannot lookup security context for /system/app

and the other error is below. (I tried simply sorting the file_contexts file.)

sudo repack2/android_img_repack_tools/make_ext4fs -s -S file_contexts -l 1610612736 -a system  system_new.img sys1/

make_ext4fs works fine if I leave out the -S parameter.
I've googled, but cannot find any answers.
I've attached the file_contexts file.

Thanks!
