Downloading now. Can i flash from the 1.6 version or do i need to go back to stock and use the cwm3?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

I'm going to just boot back into recovery from terminal and try flashing like that. I'll let you know how it goes.

I was able to flash over 1.6 with rom manager.

Something i noticed, it picks up that the phone has a flash for the camera its just the flash doesnt come on. Dont know if you knew but thought i would mention it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

Got this running, had to flash back to stock first, was running the previous release of miui.us, my phone didn't like the 3 button recovery loading and boot looped, looks like the in call audio was fixed though as I didn't have to factory reset after it installed and its working fine. Thanks for the work and for fixing the Verizon labeling, I know it was cosmetic but its nice that it says my provider.

lost root after flashing superuser upgrade

i emailed the Superuser guys about a month ago with an issue where i would get constant notifications to update my superuser binary, no matter how many times i actually updated it, and they sent me a CWM zip to flash and try to fix the problem (new version of superuser). i flashed it and all went well. i've been having the same issue again so i thought "why not try the same thing" and flashed the zip but lost root somehow. so is there any way that i could just push the files for root? can that be done on a GB rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Sounds like the binaries in your kernel are outdated. Try flashing a new rooted kernel. If you're on GB try drhonks kj1
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

i figured a kernel flash would help so i did it (forgot to write that in the OP) and i flashed the kj1 but it didnt help
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I always had that problem everytime i updated superuser in the market and phone reboots it reports binaries out of date. It only happens to me when i update superuser, so trying leaving superuser alone and not update it.

This will flash everything. If that doesn't work... then I will post a video of me punching myself on youtube. (just kidding...)
But really, The one-click makes these "it doesn't work" or "I can't root" problems go away.

does it have to be heimdall flashed forbit to work? i flashed with cwm and the kernel flashed but i still dont have root
edit: heimdall flashed, still nothing
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I read somewhere that you can flash su via cwm from a zip that its in the superuser page. might wanna check it out. Sorry if im wrong!

/me punches self in face.
So... Let me get this straight.
You ran the kj1 or kj6 (not the fully stock) one-click and you didn't have root at that point? Are you doing something after the one-click?

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?

You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.

Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.

Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.

Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.

Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

XDA Premium App incompatible with device

So I recently flashed kwes's rooted stock ROM, and now the XDA Premium app is showing not compatible with device in the play store. I tried clearing store data and uninstalling updates, but still no luck.
I haven't made any tweaks or changes, never had this problem with this ROM before.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, the app isn't going to uninstall itself. The problem is it can't be downloaded if you don't already have it. Apparently the new xda premium app is only compatible w/ Android 3.+

Unfortunately, no. I formatted my sd card w/o thinking about my backups. I tried upgrading to ICS and making a backup w/ TiBu, but something corrupted the file when I tried to restore it on GB. Then my phone stopped working, so I've pretty much given up for the time being
