I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S3 with this method shown here:
http: / / w w w .youtube . com/watch?v=wIOQwTs04ZY[/url]
Upon root, I tried to open Rom Manager and it is giving the error message:
You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone.
I've searched all forums on how to fix this. So far i've tried to manually download superuser.apk and install it. I've also downloaded it from the Google Play store. When this seemed to not be working I moved on to SuperSU and this app is getting a similar error message.
Any advice or help? I would greatly appreciate any advice !
Thank you,
Erin
It seem's your root has failed. You can go to the guide in my signature to find out how to root your device. It is an easy step by step tutorial.

Thank you for your guide. I followed each step and now have an awesome ROM loaded. Since I had accidentally loaded a stock 4.1.1 recovery with Odin after the root fail I couldn't find a proper method to root 4.1.1 on the VZW S3, so I just downloaded your stock 4.0.4 S3 VZW file and loaded that with Odin. Once I got it back to stock I followed your guide and it worked seamlessly. Thank you!

Hello,
I attempted to root My European Xoom which is on JB 4.1.2 Folowed the instruction from FAQ How do I root my device.
I followed all the instructions from Manual Root Way, by XxLordxX and everything went fine. Did exactly as said so when I finally reached the point where you download "Root Checker Basic" and it says Sorry! This device does not have proper root access. But there is a superuser app but it doesnt do much. So whats gone wrong guys?
Plus once this problem is fixed do I need to do Step 5: Backup Image to SD card and Step 6: Restoring Image from SD card?
To load a custom rom.
Cheers
Hi,
The way I ended up rooting was to use the aio root tool to unlock boot loader, then I tried to root but failed, installed CWM with aio then flashed the pre rooted 4.1.2 can be found in Android development, then flashed Dream 4.2.2 an all out stable ROM using Sheild Kernel for OC it's incredibly smooth.
Hope that helps.
I've been searching for methods to install CWM on my note 10.1, I've just found Odin method and manual method, and my doubt is: Can I install CWM directly from Rom Manager? Do I need to ROOT first? All other methods are too hard or too risky to a noob like me!
I want to install Cyanogenmod and I need CWM.
Someone could help me?
Nobody is going to help me? :crying:
No, You need to install CWM first then the device can be rooted. until now the safest way to install first CWM on the device is via Odin. then you can do everything include install new updated CWM via CWM itself. You only need is samsung drivers and Recommended version Odin to your device. At first I'm a little scare to install CWM via Odin but Now It's Fun. You Should Try with Caution of course. LEARN with Caution for the first timer.
God Bless
I'm N8000 user. My ROM was XXCMG2 Deodexed By Darkman installed via CWM 6.0.3.6
Just follow zedomax's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152
It looks complicated, but it really isn't. Watch is video and follow him step by step, and you'll be rooted in no time.
hi
i have recently rooted my phone Samsung galaxy s4 (GT-I9500, android 5.0.1) using CF auto root and i think there is no custom rom or recovary.
As per thread these are installed after rooting
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Today i tried to delete system apps mentioned in a thread in this forum. Now after restarting phone shows this message - " Android is upgrading " and i keep getting message saying unfortunately " ____ " app has stopped. Phone screen is blank. i can't do anything.
I think now i need to flash a new ROM using Odin. I don't have any prior experience in flashing ROM.
Can somebody help me in this.
from my limited knowledge i thin i should do following things
1)install CWM recovary first and
2) then flash a Custom Rom
Please provide a solution to my problem with link to download files
thank you

ok thank you
I am planning to download the firmware from sammobile (indian version). I am from India.
(as per the instruction i should extract and add the firmware file as Pda or AP and click start)
Will this solve my problem?
will it cause problems with modem, IMEA etc.?
Formatted my phone and its now working
I have lost the data USB cable for my Note 10.1 8013 and I want to get root so I can install CWM recovery and Gnabo Rom. If there's an easier or safer way please let me know asap if this is it please confirm I have the steps right.
I've been online for hours and it looks like my best option is Framaroot. I have only rooted 2 devices before and always using Odin and Chainfires auto root.
First question is if it is successful will it allows me to install the custom rom that I want? I'm trying to figure out how or where in the process to install cwm recovery and make sure I don't brick the tablet.
if yes that it will work to install gnabo rom then based on the Framaroot thread I understand that I am good to go using Framaroot 1.9.3 Sam, frodo, legolas or aragon exploits?
instructions as I understand them:
I Dl fr 1.9.3 on device
install with file explorer
Install supersu
then try the exploits until I hopefully see success?
then reboot
How do I get custom recovery? This is where I'm totally lost at
then follow instructions told Gnabo Rom? - already have zips on sd
Normally I can reach a few of the guys from the Tmo N4 to help me because I'm such a new but they're all tied up and I basically only have today free to mess with this.
