rooting galaxy R 4.0.4 failed

Hello everyone,
Please Help !!
i have installed android version 4.0.4 on my GT-19103
the base band version is 19103DDLP3
kernel version is 3.1.10-1169726
i tried every way to root my device but completely failed
i installed CWMR 4.0.0.2 using odin
my problem starts from here when i put the .Zip file in internal or external SD card (not in a folder)
and when i choose select zip file from SD
its not there
any other file is there
but any .zip file is not there (can't find .zip or .apk)
even i cant upgrade CWMR because higher version is .zip which i cant find either when i choose select zip file from SD
i tried all instructions and googling for days
i tried one click root
but the only thing i didn't try is
can i root my device using odin and old rooting package for android version 2.3.4 gingerbread although i am running android version 4.0.4 now??
regards;

First welcome to Galaxy R forum ..
From next time please don't create new thread for each every small thing, I didn't get you have you flashed CWM using ODIN if yes just flash Ardatdat's kernel you can download it from Dev Section....

buddy, there is Q/A thread for the same. I think you must use it first. But if you have made it so here is the solution for rooting:
Q. 4) How Can I flash CMW & Root my Galaxy R.?
A. 4) This is something Critical. Just Joking. Its so easy. If you are over GB then flash Superuser zip file(attached) & if you are over ICS then just flash Ardatdat's Kernel V4 or higher. it will automatically Root your Galaxy R. Link for Ardatdat's kernels in dropbox: → Dropbox ←
Also, one can follow this tutorial for Rooting ICS - > {Guide} Rooting Galaxy R on version 4.0.4 & for flashing CMW please follow this tut -> [Guide] How to flash stock FW and CWW and Root i9103
Also there is Q/A thread for your all questions(most probably) here → http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983262
Edit: Great, MJ used Hammer first.

WOW what a reply ! i like this part "each every small thing"
regardless it is a HUGE issue to me at least
you didn't understand the problem !
i can't flash any kernel because it is a ZIP file
CWR is not recognizing ZIP files
CWR can't see ZIP files
my problem with CWR and ZIP files

Hello, You can try one of these:
1. Try reflashing CWM v4.0.0.2 via ODIN and check if its recognizing the said zips.
2. Place the zips in a folder inside the internal sdcard and try.

Duplicate thread.
Check. here
Flash ardatdats kernel v4 or higher (download it from here) and youll be done.
And if CWM Recovery is not recognizing zip files..
Dont put it in a FOLDER like
/sdcard/xyz folder/abcd.zip
Put it like
sdcard/abcd.zip
i.e. Directly in the basic folder of sdcard..
NOT in any folder like bluetooth,clockworkmod,android,DCIM etc.
This might solve your issue mate

Failure to install CWM zip

I searched for a thread with a similar thread but i couldn't find one.
SO here is my problem.
I am using CWM 5 and it refuses to install CWM zips for some reason. It gives status error 0 installation failed. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Will be grateful for your help.

status 0 error comes due to bad binaries file. Just update binaries of that zip or give a shot from CWM 6.0.1.1.

For updation of binaries->Just extract any CWM File of Galaxy R at your PC/mobile. It will show 2-3 folders. Go to Meta-info folder->In the end of Folders you will see 2 files. one is Update script & second is Update-binaries. These Wrong update binaries become problem of Status 0.
For flashing CWM 6.0.1.1-> Flash This file using CWM
Just click "Show Content" if you think you are Newbie.

So CWM 6.0.1.1 will flash the zips irrespective of their binaries? And should i choose to update the binaries, How do i do it?

Buddy, I have given then CWM 6.0.1.1. extract the inside files. Just follow the above process ( Copy paste of Update-binary file).

Mj asked me to flash the CWM zip that u gave me so thats exactly what i did. I flashed the zip via CWM and then tried flashing the other zip files(which had failed earlier) and it didnt work. So to be clear - u want me to extract the zip u provided and replace the binaries in the zips(whose flashing failed) with the one from CWM 6.0.1.1 ? and then compress it into zip format (via winzip or winrar). Am i right ?

Yes buddy, so instead of compressing it, just use Winrar. open both files (i.e. error one & CMW)-> Delete update binaries file from Error one-> extract File (update binaries) from CWM.-> Just Drag & drop using mouse the extracted file to Error Ziped file-> Just press ok whatever Winrar says(it will add it in the file)-> Flash that error file now & report.
@MJ, i think you have made a thread regarding CWM errors..??

Stock ROM yes but i use CWM recovery for all practical purposes. As all zips are given in CWM flashable formats including ones as basic as Superuser.zip . Currently I am on X-perience ROM and im using CWM 6.0.1.1. before which i was using CWM 5.5.x

Can't install CWM

Hi
I have a Minix neo X5 and want to root the device so I followed the instruction on the thread below on this forum on how to root, here's where I am.
I recently flashed the latest minix neo x5 image and now want to root it, so I followed the instructions On the thread on this forum by first installing CWM. However after changing the CWM file to update and saying yes to install the screen shows an android logo with a red exclamation mark. After a few minutes the box reboots as normal with a message saying the firmware failed to load and do I want to delete the update file.. Any idea what's wrong
Thanks

Sounds like a bad download of the cwm zip. I would try downloading another copy and trying again. Unfortunately, I don't think he posted the MD5's but the copy I downloaded worked so the MD5 should match the following:

I tried again using this file and still the same result, CWM not installed
Just reinstalled official firmware again and tried to install CWM with the same result
I have been trying to install from 4gb class 6 SD card is this ok.
Or could I put the update on a USB stick or other location

Try putting the update.zip in internal "sdcard".
I downloaded mine to sdcard/downloads and renamed it. Then moved it to sdcard.

I am pretty sure the zip needs to be in the root of the /sdcard folder (internal sdcard)

Busybox 1.21.1 Flashable zip???

Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask this, I'm looking for a Busybox 1.21.1 zip file to install by flashing via CWM on my HTC One S (S4). For some reason i can't install Busybox from the app downloaded from the market, so i believe this is probably the best way to do so. (unless someone else knows a better way, which would be appriciated)
I've searched here and only found one that has SuperSU bundled with it, i only need Busybox as i already have Super SU installed and updated to the latest version.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I deleted the supersu.apk and the su file. When i tried to flash the zip file, it gave me an error (status 6) and the installation aborted.
I haven't had a problem flashing via CWM before so i'm unfamiliar with this error. Does it have something to do with the zip file i'm using?

Thats where i got the Busybox 1.21.1 & SuperSu zip from. I used the first one, which downloads to xbin.
I've attachted the zip file that i tried flashing, i removed SuperSU apk & SU file from that zip.
Is there a noticable difference between TWRP & CWM that warrant changing it? I've assumed CWM is the better recovery as it seem the more popular.

I have a look soon and see what I can do. TWRP is the better recovery and you can use goo manager to flash it for you but you are a bit better off getting version 2.3.3.0.

OK thanks, I might try it out. How do I go about switching from CWM to TWRP? I'm guessing you can't just flash it as its a recovery file.

I tried that zip but I get the same 'status 6' error with CWM. I tried installing TWRP using Goomanager but everytime I try to install via the app it says 'no recovery file found for your device'
I have a HTC One S, is there another way of switching from CWM to TWRP to see if I can flash the zip file?

Download this here and flash it how ever you flashed CWM.

I've managed to get TWRP installed, but I still get the same 'status 6' error when trying to install..... So the zip file isn't the issue then. What is a status 6 error?

Status 7 error is due to Updater-script.
Delete the whole get.prop line from the updater-script.
It is the very first line of updater-script.

hey ...I extracted all the folders and zipped it again..then I was abl to flash it successfully.. I think I should not have renamed it ..it shud be zipped properly
