My device:
Samsung Ace GT-5830, Android 2.3.4
I followed the online information to expand my internal memory using Link2SD and CWM. But I thought the phone was already rooted, so I skipped that step. At the very end, I realized it has not and tried to root it.
What I did to try to root: Go into recovery mode --> Apply update from card --> Yes, /sdcard/update
A bunch of logs show up and at the end the message says rooting is successful. HOWEVER, upon reboot, there is no superuser app, and I used RootChecker app also says there is no root access.
What could be the problem?

I am running CyanogenMod 7 RC1. Superuser states that it needs an update and it fails then states it has saved the zip on my sdcard and to reboot into recovery to fix.
I am not able to use Rom Manager because I not can get superuser to work. When I boot into recovery it does not allow me to apply updates.
I have ran superoneclickroot and this errors out because the application says that I already have root access, I was hoping the app could push superuser back to the phone.
Any suggestions on what I should do? I have wiped the phone several times and nothing helps.
I'm at my wits end because after 6 hours of trying to make sure my Samsung Vibrant is rooted and that I can use Superuser Elite (which I've had for a while) I get conflicting information from the "Root Check Pro" which states I have root access and busybox installed. However, when I click on busybox it tells me I don't have root access to install it. Furthermore, my list of apps in Superuser is blank and there is no option to add apps to it.
I went to adroidsu.com for help with Superuser but it actually was no help as there were no instructions on how to use it, install it or troubleshoot it.
I'm running Froyo 2.2 (T-Mobile). My end desire is simply to update my ROM to 2.3 Gingerbread.
I have the premium version of ROM Manager installed but nothing happens when I click on "Reboot into Recovery". Same thing for "Backup Current ROM". It will prompt me if I want to reboot. When I click "Yes" nothing happens.
I attempted to use both the update.zip method (putting it on the internal SD card) and going into recovery mode at bootup to root the phone and also tried the latest version of SuperOneClick. Both 'SEEMED' to work but now I'm having my doubts.
I have no idea where to go next to resolve this. Help!
Hi.
I'm trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (wi-fi)
I seem to have been able to root it however it seems busybox neither superuser is not detected by root checker app. As far as I'm aware busybox is needed to continue to install cwm right?
I have super user installed though...
Please understand this was gifted to me by a relative who lives in Australia i.e. origin of the product is Australian.
I can't seem to understand how to flash cwm onto this.
I followed a bunch of sites.
Links:
http://droidfirmwares.com/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5110-easy-tutorial.html/2 (mainly this but it seems I sort of followed mix advice of both)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309
I used the PDA option in Odin however after that I can't make head or tail of how to proceed to install clockworkmod recovery.
It seems incredible that just 2 weeks back I had been able to mod my Sensation XE and Xperia Z but am utterly confused as to how to proceed in this case. Please help.
Continuation
Apparently every time I run Odin and install it always installs and in root checker app it shows rooted however superuser and busybox are not shown although superuser asks permission for using root checker which I grant??
Whats happening? :X
I hope I have made my position a little clear.
1. It shows rooted in root checker
2. I have supersu installed (althought root checker denies it)
3. How do I proceed to install CWM (I tried installing couple of times from playstore it downloads the update after I select my model no: and after that it gets stuck on flashing)
4. Please explain step by step
I got the root files from

Install process went through smoothly. and i see superuser icon.
but when i installed titanium backup, It is complaining about no root privileges.
Any help in resolving this?.
Checking privileges?
Have you checked using the SU app if you have the root privileges? My SU app also asked me if it should turn of KNOX - before KNOX canceled some actions of apps having root privileges granted by SU. I used rootchecker to check if rooting worked. When I am starting an app that needs root privileges SU pops up and asked if it should give this app root privileges. So first you need to check if your device has been successfully rooted.

I think you haven't installed USB DRIVERS properly
Here is solution:
Download update.zip from attachment then add it to INTERNAL MEMORY. Then turn of your device boot it to recovery (see picture, you must press both volume up and power key at the same time until you see your TAB 10.1 logo) then in recovery chose apply update.zip wait for it to finish then choose reboot now. It should do the trick
Don't forget to hit thanks.
Hello Folks,
Forgive me but I searched the forums and could not find any posts dealing with my problem.
I recently rooted my phone, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 version 4.4.2, build i545vrufnc5 using Towel Root and used Root checker to verify. Root checker states it is rooted and I am using SuperUser Elite v3.1.3 however the outdated binary notification shows outdated binary (-rwxr-xr-x is in red) and when I tap to update I get the message "downloading manifest...... fail!? When I then hit "try again" I get "unfortunately superuser has stopped" and it closes. I also downloaded SU Updater and ran it, no help. I also have Busy Box and Root Explorer and Titanium Backup installed. su binary shows v1.99:supersu (0). There are no apps showing in su and I get no prompts when adding new apps to allow or deny? I am new at this and really ready to unroot and say the heck with it. I seen several posts about downloading a zip of the file and saving to sd card. Do I need a zip program first and how do I move it to the sd card if that is the case? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J-
1) try SuperSU instead
2) do u have custom recovery?
