So I've flashed a few ROMs on my phone, and decided I liked CM10 the best. I was previously using Slimbean 4.1.1 and was in the process of re-flashing CM10. I accidentally flashed (I THINK) the RemICS 4.0.1 ROM and got a bunch of error messages. Panicked, cleared all data, dalvik cache, the whole 9 yards and flashed the CM10 zip. The flash back to CM10 was successful, but now when I try to open apps that require root access, it says the phone isn't rooted. SuperUser is still installed but does nothing, and the updater from the market can't gain root access.
From here, I've decided it would be wise to not mess with anything until I have proper knowledge of what to do to regain Root access, and would appreciate suggestions as I can only find threads where people have completely different phones and had just rooted their phone. Having root access isn't the biggest problem in the world for me, but from what I understand, you need root access to flash any ROM and to unroot in case it needs to be returned to the store. Any help will receive my love.
P.s. - I was flashing while using the bathroom, so I quite literally sh*t myself when the error messages popped up, lol.
You may need to reinstall Busybox from the Marketplace.

I downloaded busy box installer from the marketplace and it says on rooted but won't install any available version. :/
After you reflashed, did you install gapps, then wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache? If not, reboot into recovery, factory wipe, flash CM10, flash gapps, wipe cache, wipe dalvik again. See if root happens the next go around. Follow the instructions on the OP.

My Wifi-Only US Xoom is rooted with the universal xoom root, and has the EOS-Wingray-60 Rom successfully installed, but everytime I try to download Gapps, this comes up:
How do I fix that?
EDIT: That is no longer the problem. Everytime I flash Gapps now, my xoom ALWAYS gets stuck on the dual core screen after reboot.
Double EDIT: I was too lazy to stock flash it, so I simply wiped everything again, downloaded EOS wingray 60, Then I wiped my cache and my dalvik (Not data), then reinstalled Gapps, and fixed permissions and it finally loads now. Thank ****ing god.
Can anyone help me with this please??

Alright, so my problem continues. I was running stock unrooted ICS, then flashes recovery. Then I wiped data, cache and dalvik. Then I rooted with the Xoom universal root. Rebooted, works fine. Then I went to recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, and flashes eos Rom 60. Rebooted, works fine. Then I went to recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, successfully installed gapps 10.5 for the first time, it wasn't (bad). Rebooted, andddd stuck. After I rebooted in permanately stuck on the dual core Motorola logo thing. What did I do wrong?
You need to flash the GApps file immediately after the EOS rom...no reboot first. This is a must.

When I flash them, is there anything I need to wipe or clear? Or do I leave everything alone?
God Dammit! This is pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It ****ing takes for ever to upgrade back to ICS when I have to flash the ****ing stock of 3.0!!!
I upgraded to ICS, after flashing 3.0, I flashed the R4c Recovery, I did a factory reset, and wiped Dalvik and Cache, then I installed the Universal root (Is there a different root I should use?), then I went back (Still in recovery mode) and did a factory reset, and wipe cache and dalvik. Then I install Wingray-60, then *immediately after* I installed Gapps v10.5!!!! I rebooted and my ****ING xoom is stuck on the dual core screen AGAIN!!!
WHAT THE ****.
Not quite sure what those first few steps were, but boot to recovery, go to mounts and storage and wipe system and cache, then go to the wipe menu and do a data wipe and dalvik wipe.
Then flash ICS and gapps.
Shouldn't have any problems after that unless your Xoom doesn't like ICS for some strange get reason.

I've been playing around with a Nexus S 4G that I have lying around and never used, and I've ran into a few problems, but you've all been helpful. I rooted all my old EVO 4G's without any problem, but the other day I rooted my NS4G using a one click/simple root and downloaded ClockWorkMod etc. But now for some reason It seems like I've almost lost my root? Is that possible? I still have the little unlocked symbol when booting up.
I've searched this forum and Google and haven't found anything, which could possibly be because I don't know what to look for. I've never had this happen :/
Currently running the stock 2.3.7
Nobody? I just need a little help.
Did you flash a superuser.zip after you installed clockworkmod?

Okay lol hold on so just go make sure you
1. Unlocked the bootloader right?
2. Flashed a custom recovery (clockworkmod)?
3. Flashed superuser for root access?
4. Now you have a stock rooted ROM?
If you have/did all that then yeah you could backup your stock rooted ROM, you don't need to back it up but its helpful just incase you mess something you could always restore it to start all over
And you could backup any ROM you install incase you didn't know, just remember when you install different ROMS make sure to do a proper full wipe which includes data/factory reset/wiping DALVIK cache, and formatting system and boot in the "mount" option in CWM. And now I think your good lol

Unlocked Bootloader? If I boot in fastboot it says Unlocked. Is this what you mean?
I have ClockWorkMod, but I haven't done anything with it.
I have superuser from the root
and I was working with a stock ROM the whole time....
I think I'm ok lol
So I'll back up my ROM, and flash a Nightly CM9? And back that up as well? Just perform a factory data reset before doing so, right?

Yeah if it says unlocked your good to go. The super user.zip you first flashed won't be needed once you flash different ROMS, it was only needed for stock because you didn't install a ROM you just unlocked the boot loader and super user just gave you root access that didn't come with stock.
Yeah backup your stock ROM JUST in case you encounter a boot loop so you can just restore and start over, you don't need to back up CM9 that's completely your choice if you want . Its convenient though if you like CM9 but still like to flash other ROMS that way you can just go back if you miss CM9 without doing the whole setup process.
And a full wipe is
Data/factory reset
Then wipe dalvik under "advanced"
Then wipe system and boot under the "mount" option in CWM

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post links to videos or not. But I'm in love with some of the features this guy has on his NS4G
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKdyAm3CgHc
He said it was a nightly etc.
The hidden status bar and bottom menu hidden is amazing. I also like the inverted G-Mail and Facebook. Is this all separate from the Nightly ROM?
I'd post a reply to the official thread, but I still can't as of now due to low number of posts.
So I downloaded S'perience ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888350
Then I tried flashing it as needed. The phone restarts and voila, S'perience. However, I found out that I had lost my root.
Busy Box is installed, but when I checked via Root Checker, it told me that some SU binaries are not present, therefore my phone has lost root.
I tried rerooting my phone and flashing S'perience three times, but the same thing happen. Yeah, I did the usual factory rest, cache and data wipe, etc, and I have no idea why my phone loses root when I flash this ROM.
Can anyone help me?
I just contacted the author of that ROM.
Hopefully they'll be able to help you out

Thank you so much for your replies!
Okay, so I finally installed S'perience on my LWW. And for the sake of comparison and exploration, I'm trying out Hyperbeam.
So I did the following:
1. flashed .58 firmware,
2. unlocked bootloader
3. installed Rage Kernel
4. CWM
5. wipded data (factory reset)
6. wiped cache
7. wiped dalvik cache
8. flashed base ROM (Hyperbeam)
9. flashed patch
10. flashed lockscreen
Then reboot.
Now, my phone's undergoing bootloop for a good fifteen minutes. And it's still continuing as I type this. Anything I did wrong?
Thank you so much in advance.

Hi all,
I just discovered CleanROM yesterday, and I'm trying to throw it on my S3 now. Everything installs fine, I go through all of the choices, and at the end TWRP pops up and tells my that it ppears that mt root is "broken" and asks if I want to repair permissions. I tell it 'yes', it seems to do its job, and I reboot.
After that, I have waited 20 minutes with no boot. It starts the boot animation, which is a 4-color 'X' on the screen, and nothing more. I have looked around, and people say that on first boot, there are sometimes orphan files that need to be resolved, but they said maybe 6 or 7 minutes, not 20.
Some background:
I probably rooted about a month ago in order to install CyanogenMod
I am not sure what method I used to root the phone with, mostly because I had issues from the beginning(Apparently not unheard of with the S3), but I know that I am rooted.
My bootloader is also unlocked, AFAIK, since I wouldn't have been able to instal CM10 otherwise.
I am using TWRP 2.4 as my recovery and it seems to be working wonderfully.
Process:
I boot into recovery
Choose 'Install'
Point to my download of CleanROM and follow all prompts, choosing launcher, file manager, etc.
Tell it to wipe data and cache
After the install, there is the message from TWRP telling me that root is "broken"(I think that's the term it uses), and asks me if I want to repair permissions, and I of course repair them.
After rebooting is when nothing happens. I finally pull the battery and either try again, or restre my phone so I can use it. I'm probably 0/4 at this point, I downloaded the ROM from the Dev's site, and have no problems, since it gives no errors during install.
So I guess I have three questions:
1. Can I re-root my device? Will this help, or could it frak things up worse?
2. Is there a way to fix those file permissions for good? The fix doesn't seem to be holding when I choose "repair" in TWRP.
3. Is this a ROM issue instead, and should I downgrade a version? Also, is anyone else seeing this?
Thanks in advance for any help guys! :good:

I think you are referring to the /root partition, not actually being rooted.
The problem is your order of operations. You are wiping the ROM after you install! You are supposed to wipe data/cache BEFORE you install the ROM.
This is not a ROM issue, I just installed CleanROM 6r2 and it is fast as heck and worked fine. I suggest you boot into twrp and perform the install correctly.

I wondered about that, but using TWRP in the 'Install' mode, it doesn't prompt for wipe until after(Unless I'm doing something wrong there). Just to be clear, you're just suggesting that I manually wipe first, then let TWRP and CleanROM take me through the process after that, right?
Thanks
Boot into twrp.
Hit the wipe menu.
Wipe the top four boxes
(Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Factory reset.
Wipe system.)
Install ROM
Should boot within 2 minutes tops.

Download a rom of your choice from one of the sgs3 development threads, copy it to your ext sd card, reboot into recovery, wipe phone, clear caches, install rom, install happened (if needed), wipe caches, reboot, let sit.
Thaw the jist of it. If you need a more detailed version, there are threads that walk you through it.

Are you unlocked and have a custom recovery?
If you want to install a ROM you have to first download the correct ROM for whatever phone you have and put it where you won't forget it. Then you need to go into recovery mode and do a factory data reset then wipe your cache and last you need to wipe your dalvik cache which is found in the advanced options. Then you click install zip and the you find the ROM and install it. If it has the aroma installer just follow the instructions given. After that just restart your phone. The first time you boot up your phone takes a minute so don't get worried.

You mentioned that you are rooted, but have you also flashed a custom recovery? The easiest way to flash custom ROMs, at least in my experience, is definitely through the use of recovery.
Once the recovery is installed, simply download the ROM in .zip format, move it over to your phone's SD card, then flash away. The steps vary a little, but for CWM, the steps are generally:
Wipe data;
Wipe cache;
Wipe Dalvik;
Flash ROM;
Flash gapps;
At this point, I usually wipe the cache and Dalvik again; redundant, yes, but eh.
There are other ways too, but I am only familiar with this method. I imagine you could always flash ROMs via Odin, but I feel like that would be a lot more complicated for a newer user.

Forgot; also ensure that your boot loader is unlocked. There is actually an app for it in the Play Store. Search for VZW GS3 EZ-Unlock on the forums. It's also on the Play Store, but I can't seem to find a link anywhere. Pretty much all you have to do is click "Unlock," and you'll be good to go.
MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS PRIOR TO FLASHING ANYTHING. You mentioned you were stuck at the Yellow Triangle in your post. One of the reasons for this includes forgetting to unlock your bootloader prior to flashing custom firmware (AKA Cyanogen Mod).
Make sure you unlock your bootloader. Download EZ Unlocker
^ make sure you have downloaded ez unlock first and then grab the latest recovery
