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.

Hi,I had just received my Jellybean OTA update just a few hours ago,and I decided to root it,but don't know how to...Can anyone tell me the steps?
First you'll need to unlock your device. This will wipe everything on your phone so make sure you have a backup of important stuff.
Look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide#Unlocking_the_Bootloader on how to unlock the bootloader.
After you've unlocked it, you'll need to install the latest CWM Recovery. It's explained at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ne...de#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery_Image and you can find the latest version of CWM at http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Then use the recovery to flash superuser. You can find superuser at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ Download the latest version for ARM and put it on your phone. Then in the bootloader choose recovery and install zip from sdcard and choose the superuser zip file.
You can find a more complete guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623481
Thanks, I will try it out tomorrow

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!

Thats because there is no official release for 4.1.1 on the Vzw S3
When I find out I wont receive any updte if my bootloader is unlocked I manual update the firmaware of my tablet. I was very dissapoint when I find out I had no more root permission and also the TWRP recovery seems to be gone. Now the problem is all the bloatware from asus come back and there is no way to remove (only using link to sd but it need root permisison).
Is there any way to root back my tablet? Assume I'm little be more than a noob!
Thanks in advance
When you say manually update, i'm guessing you updated to 10.4.2.20 so if you need help rooting you can always look to the link below for help.

You have one app which is named OTA ROOTKEEPER. (This application makes a backup or a protected backup of your device's root. Your device must already be rooted: OTA RootKeeper doesn't have the ability to root devices.
If you are just rooted but always locked, with this app you can backup and restore your root.
And use this for root : [ROOT/ROM] Root Stock/Deodex Firmware 10.4.2.20 (US/WW) | Insecure kernel !

Im running stock rom with nova pro launcher.... attempted root using cf autoroot method - http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-70-wi-fi-p3113.html
everything goes without a hitch in odin and it appears to root just fine until i get back into the rom
try to update cwm with rom manager pro and I get an update error.
try to access r/w within root explorer and i get root error
i have attempted this several times to no avail. im at a loss
any help would be appreciated. thanks!!!

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.
