I installed the OTA for 4.1.2 and have not rooted my T-mobile T999 at all. I've watched videos that said it was for this firmware and model, but when I go into recovery mode and try to install the zip file, I get a message saying "E: Signature Verification Failed." SuperSU is on my phone, but when I try to launch it, it says "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I've never rooted a phone before, but the videos I watched seemed really easy, but it's not working for me.
Can somebody post how to do it with the most updated G3rootsprint.zip file. Maybe I'm using one that's too old, or maybe since the update is only days old, it's not possible with the processes that are online already.

I'm attempting to root with clockworkmod, but since I can't get that far, it's the android recovery.

Use this guide to root the t999v. I used it a couple months ago and it works fine, and as a bonus it wont trip your flash counter.

hi..
i've ota'd my device with JB, and flashed it with CWM.. the problem is i cannot flash the superSU, i've checked a few a threads and guides, and although one says rooting only works for 4.0.4 firmwares ,another http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256821 says it will work on all firmwares, the message i get is E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed.
which to me seems to indicate a problem with SU rather then rom. i've tried it with both 1.34 version and 1.25 version, i've read somewhere that SuperSU may not work on all devices, but i didn't see any alternatives. i've looked into CF-Auto_root but it doesn't seem to have a version for the relay..
Did you use this su flashable *.zip?

To flash SU? Sure. I think there even is a function of some sort to install su in twrp.

sadly i cannot flash that as well
due to the same problem with cwm , i need it in odin format. so my real problem is to find a cwm twrp in odin format that is compatible with the relay and enables signature verifiaction skip

If you flash this cwm.tar.md5 file via odin you should be able to install the stock jelly bean rom and SU in recovery mode right after that.. I did this few days ago, just to test stock jelly bean.
If you already tried this.. wellp, no idea what's going on.
this is the exact cwm i tried, via odin, and no matter, i try to flash through it, (well i didn't try to original stock rom) whether it's TWRP su on several versions, i always go the same issue with signature verification, so my first problem is how do i install a cwm or TWRP which allow me to disable signature verification? i'm assuming i can't just pick up any cwm or twrp, and try to odin them, i need the ones compatible with relay.
Maybe a silly prompt, but is the date and time current in phone?
Yea, why shouldn't they be?

Someone tried any rooting method on 4.1.2 ?
I dont want to mess my phone...
Just updated my Nexus 5 using the OTA thread that went through fine,
I then proceeded to update SuperSU using the following link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu which was the update v1.99r3.
Using TWRP I flashed this and root is working for most apps i have tested: titanium, adblock, root explorer. So root is back.
However whenever I load up SuperSU I keep getting the following message: "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"
So of course I have done this and let it use TWRP to flash. Let the phone boot up and upgrade the app as it needed. However on next load up of the app it asks to do the same yet again.
I feel as though I'm forgetting something as it's been a while since I've done this. ( use to live on flashing when i had my SII)
My Nexus is Stock ROM. CF-Auto Rooted. TWRP Recovery. Nothing else is modified.
Help would be appreciated, even though I don't go into supersu all that often anyways.
Cheers all.
What if you upgrade it using the "normal" method?
If I do a normal install i get the following:
Installation failed!
Please reboot and try again.

That message is usually indicative of not having root in the first place. What if you flash it via TWRP then do it normally? Could TWRP be removing it with its "Fix root" option?
What about other recoveries? Do they allow root to stay?

How odd like I said my apps are all receiving their root permissions...
What file would we be talking about flashing? The Temp one SuperSU makes to flash when you click install via TWPR?
I don't have any other recoveries on my phone, so I wouldn't know about that last option.

Are they though? SuperSU grants permissions but if the binary is not present, its irrelevant. Can you actually do root things with the root apps that have the permissions?
Have you tried other binary download?

In SuperSU, do the TWRP flash install of the binary and reboot, then try the "normal" install immediately after

Theres a link in my signature to Philz recovery. In the settings is a root option, so the recovery itself can root without flashing any zips. Maybe try that if downloading an older flashable zip or the above hasnt worked.

It does seem that way Titanium has backed up an app just now, adblock has updated and Nova is hiding the time on the first screen.

Good news. The latest version of Philz, s it is CWM based - uses the latest Cyanogen sources to build. I update the CM sources everytime I build Philz so hopefully there should be fewer issues when new stuff comes out.
My Shield Tablet wifi just downloaded OTA 2.2. Anyone know offhand where the package drops in the filesystem. I can backup the file and upload it.

yeah I received it as well but couldn't load it as I have CWM as my recovery and rooted so it failed. Been so long since I needed to do anything I forgot I set it up that way and left it. I'll have to get to it in a bit.

What's the procedure? Un-root, back to stock recovery, OTA update, then repeat the root process?

Just flash the "full OTA" from your recovery...

The latest update, it seems, can be rooted using the recowvery method. Dirtycow was patched by Google in a Dec. 5 security patch, but it seems LG didn't include that in their latest security update, which was created Dec 1! In any case, my phone is rooted with TWRP, and working just fine. So, for now we can still root with the update! I'd also like to point out, that this means we now have an official KDZ released version of rootable stock to roll-back to with LGUP!
Glad I forced ya to do it huh

I was on 10i last week after i got phone back from service. I flashed NotSoStock Rom which said i was on the 10d base. Then flashed Overdrive Rom which put me back to 10i. I didnt have any problems switching basebands within custom roms if that helps.

You must do it manually according to the instructions

Note: make sure you rename your TWRP to twrp.img, and put SuperSU file into memory card (your TWRP cannot open internal storage).

Hi
I'm really new at this so please bear with me if I'm asking dumb questions.
A couple of weeks ago I tried to root my device Galaxy S6 SM-G920F EGY. I ended up breaking my phone but then I fixed it by installing a stock rom that I found online.
Since then every Root Checker app that I've downloaded says that my device is unrooted. however, when I go to use secret browsing mode on the Samsung browser it says rooting detected.
Also I'm pretty sure that my device had 32 GB storage. Now it says I have 16GB of storage.
Please enlighten me on what the hell I did and how to fix it.
Do you have (SuperSu, Magisk or King root) installed into your phone application menu?

No I don't have either installed. For all intents and purposes my phone is unrooted. That's why I'm so confused when the Samsung browser says "root detected... cannot launch secret browsing "
