Hello all,
I have had my Galaxy i5500 for awhile now and have used odin to flash updates for the firmware etc.
I have recently rooted my phone using Superoneclick and this worked fine. Overclocked the phone, and ran a number of Apps using SuperUser Access to gain all the benefits from this.
I installed Titanium Backup and Installed it on my SD Card, this caused a number of problems and I had to pull the battery on my phone to reboot it. Anyway it then hung at the GT-I5500 screen and I ended up having to download a new firmware (not custom) and use Odin to update it.
I now have a working phone, however I now can't root it. I have tried Superoneclick, that no longer works. I have also tried Universal Androot..with that I get an error message of Root Failed - No Fu Guu (or something like that) and I have just tried using z4root... with that it says acquiring Root Shell and then it just kicks me out...have checked and it's not rooted.
I also can't seem to access the reboot menu on my phone (the one where you press a couple of buttons to enter the menu where you can factory set your phone.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Other than these problems mentioned, the phone works as it should
Solved....
It took awhile of trying different root software but.... after reflashing my phone with another stock rom, I found Super One Click still didn't work, nor did z4root or universal Androot (I'm guessing it would have worked without reflashing a different rom).
I did however find that Unlock Root 2.2 worked! My phone is now flashed, no error messages and I have Superuser Access!! Now time to install a custom bootloader and start with the custom roms!!

Hi, I have bought an Ace ME ROM version for my fiancée that had Eclair installed. I rooted the phone using superoneclick v1.9.1 and everything was working fine. Then my fiancée connected to Kies and tried to upgrade to Froyo however the phone hang and she removed the battery and then the phone was not working anymore. I got the phone to work again by reverting to factory settings from the recovery mode screen, and the phone was upgraded to Froyo. However, the phone lost its root, and I am not able to root it again, once trying SuperOneClick the phone hangs on waiting for device (even though I tried all remedies to this issue that are available online). I tried to install Z4root on the phone to root without connection to PC however the application crashes when I click root or unroot.
By the way, the phone says that it is rooted in the settings/About phone/Kernel version screen.
I would appreciate any help on how to re-root the phone as due to low capacity, app to SD and removing stock apps is necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How can I bring my Droid X2 from Verizon back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I rooted my phone using MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe "pete's motorolla tools"
I removed bookmarks and I removed two or three verizon stock apk like Blockbuster and Slacker. Also allowed super user permission for apps like barnicle wifi tether and a screenshot program. I have done nothing else.
I recently got the request to upgrade to 1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US but I can not upgrade.
Attempt #1
I factory reset the hard way. Hold power plus volume down... The phone boots back up and I still have Superuser icon showing but everything else is different. I realized at that time I would have to unroot but I could not remember which program I used to root my phone.
Attempt #2
I ended up installing gingerbreak and used the unroot uption on that program to unroot my phone. It said successful. I tried to install the update and it failed. I factory reset the phone and it failed. IDK why but I attempted to root the phone again using gingerbreak after that... but gingerbreak would not root my phone again, it just sat there doing nothing for an hour and 30 minutes.
Attempt #2
I searched more and found the program I originally used. I loaded it up and clicked the unroot option. It unrooted my phone sucessfully. I attempted to upgrade and it failed again!
Attempt #3
I ran the temporary root that came with MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe . Thinking maybe gingerbreak messed up some files and I needed to restore them for the unroot to work properly. The temporary root was not what I had used the first time so I'm thinking maybe I should have done the permanant root... I then unrooted the phone again. After that, I factory reset again and attempted to upgrade the phone. Still fails.
I havn't removed or modified any sytem folders. I simply deleted bookmarks and Blockbuster and other useless stock apps. I've unrooted and factory reset but blockbuster and the stock applications never come back...
I can't upgrade my phone and I need some help. I can't remember what came with the phone by default so IDK how to manually set it back. Please, how can I resolve this? How can I bring my phone back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I want that ugrade.
Notherwise fully aware if we have a forum for your device but if we do....head in over to that place and look fir the "stock ROM" for your device.
First thing is first....you need ti remove root...not familiar with device so don't know is stock Rom will restore root.
Another option is to go to the first thread on this forum and ask Samuel.....he might be able to help.
Cheers and good luck mate
I don't want to restore the root. Honestly I never really used the super user features for anything other than screenshots.
I have no roms or anything. This is just 2.3.3 with the root enabled. I did lurk around and find a link to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf but I'm not sure if that is what I need to do? Will an SBF restore my phone and applications so I can upgrade again?
Update to my previous post. I searched around like I should have in the first place.
I used RSDLite 5.3 to flash my phone to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf. Which was android 2.2.2
I was then able to update the phone to version 2.3.3 and then finally 2.3.4 official OSA over wifi.
Hello,
Until today, I was using the v18 of the Omega ROM on my Galaxy Note 2 and today I installed the v26. But the Wifi was bugging, so I tried to flash the fix from CWM. I didn't manage because it didn't find the file and when I quitted CWM, my root has been disabled. Since that, I don't manage to root it again, I have done like many tutos but each time, even if the software like Odin was telling me it was OK, when I launched SuperSU, it tells me that no SU Binaries is installed. I have tried to uninstall/reinstall, I have also tried with Framaroot, but it tells me to try with another exploit, but there is only one...
I don't know what to do, I can't back up my folders and apps with titanium backup without root... Do you have a solution ?
EDIT : I have installed again CWM recovery, and then the Omega ROM. And everything is good now.
Alright I'll just start from the beginning since this is just a long chain of ****ery
Rooted my GS3
Installed TWRP
Installed Carbon-JB-NIGHTLY-20130824-0816-D2VZW which is a 4.3 JB rom.
Attempted to install Revolutionary S5 V3 and KK gapps package at the same time.
Hard bricked my phone.
Used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&highlight=system+software+not+authorized to get my phone to get to Odin.
When attempting to boot phone outside of Odin it just stated that it was running not supported software (unlocked padlock that says custom)
Went onto Samsung and downloaded a Stock 4.3 rom and flashed that with Odin.
Started phone up and was unable to use terminal emulator (no root) to continue with fixes in above thread.
Attempted to root using saferoot, unsuccessfully (updated kernel can't do it).
Attempted to root using CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300, unsuccessfully.
Attempted to root using Kingo, unsuccessfully.
I do have Samsung Knox :crying:
So now that you're all up to speed to where I'm at, long story short, I need root access on this phone. It has no power button so I lock the screen with a root gesture control app. The back and menu buttons are non functioning so I use a custom UI that adds a back and menu button to the screen. Can ANYONE give me a way to get root back on this frankenstein of a phone? I've never changed a kernel before and I supposed that'd be my next step since I can't saferoot with the kernel I currently have and any thread that explains how I would go about doing it at my current state of ****ery
All help appreciated!
Hi there guys!
I do have a s4 mini lte and for the past week I've tried almost everything when it comes to rooting my mobile.
THe first thing I tried was Kingoroot and then Kingroot but it looked like it wasn't possible to root it using them.
Then I installed CWM with Odin(I tried with TWRP but got Red error on Odin). I flashed the zip with CWM and when the phone booted up, it looked for updates for 5-10 secs and then I opened SuperSU (it was installed) it kept saying that there were no binary found.
I had to download the latest version of Supersu (2.79) and when I tried to flash it, I got "You lost root access"
FIx it? Yes/No
I pressed no since it was suggested on other forums to do so, but then I still got the same problem with SuperSU ( no binary found)
I did wipe cache,tried also with factory reset,disabled and then re-enabled supersu,updated it from playstore, but still no root.
How the hell am I supposed to root this stupid phone?
Thank you
