I have a Verizon Galaxy S3. I previously had my phone rooted and I unrooted it using the SuperUser app (maybe that was a mistake). Now I am trying to root it again and I have ClockworkMod installed, but when I try to flash the SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip in recovery from my sd card it says that it installs, but my phone isn't rooted when I reboot and I don't have the SuperUser app. I also tried using the casual root from d2vzw (which is how I rooted the first time) and that says the install completes but when I reboot my phone I am not rooted and I don't have the SuperUser app. Can I not root again after unrooting? Any help is appreciated.
These might help you
I think because you just root it using a third party device which is not actually integrated in the device. If I were you (just a suggestion, nevermind if you don't want to do it), I would flash [ROM][6/21] - Stock Rooted - 6/20/13 OTA! - VRBMF1 - 4.1.2 / Multi Window this to have the root access again. I didn't try it but based on the comments of the users, this was being helpful to them or actually you can try different custom rom but first as what developers says, you must unlock Bootloader of your device.

Use Odin to return to stock if need be, then use the Casual root/unlocker program. Then install KitKat

Hey all, just wondering if flashing stock, then putting a CWM update.zip on my SD card, and then going into CWM> Advanced SpeedMod> Root/Install Superuser would fully root my phone?
I always keep the cwm update.zip on my internel sd card. What I do is flash the clockwork recovery over the regular one then flash a custom rom but idk about rooting.

Why don't you just your try it? Worst case, it doesn't work.
I have rooted successful using that option in CWM. Do it.

ive done it too. it works awesome.
or you use odin to flash a kernel with CWM built in, then root using CWM. (yeah still works when built into kernel! installs superuser n everything!)
and remember if you have a kernel with CWM dont use rom manager!
Thanks people. Nice to know I can easily root like that without SuperOneClick or anything. And I've only used ROM Manager once, for my very first flash. Soon as I figured out it was unnecessary, I ditched it.

I have a samsung galaxy Ace GT-S5830 . I recently reseted my phone from service centre. So i tried to root my phone, but by mistakely flashed clockwork mod. Rebooted.Again tried to root but it showed 'installation aborted' .I opened cwm app, but it showed that it needs superuser(root access) what should i do? i searched how to remove cwm and how to root on cwm but it shows a lenthy process of turning phone to stock rom... i would appreciate any help. Please help.Explain me as if i were an 8 year old.
Clock work mod can't be flashed by Rom manager unless your phone is rooted, root your phone first then flash clock work mod. If you do have recovery flashed on your phone you don't need to be rooted to flash a new Rom.
If you don't understand that abouve first you need to read on how to root your phone, once you have all your info you need and your phone is rooted you will need clock work mod a.k.a recovery. Once your phone is rooted and you have clock work mod flashed the FIRST step you need to do is make a back up. To me it dosent sound like you have clock work mod on your phone, you probaly have Rom manager app which is useless without root, you can't root through cwm. It's just root then cwm. If you use a app that roots your phone and dosent work then you probaly have a locked bootloader, google search on how to root galaxy ace or search here, I don't have a galaxy ace but a lot of members here do so I assume its pretty easy to get it rooted

Hi all,
I Know my Thunderbolt is rooted correctly because I am able to use certian rooted only apps. But when I go into superuser to update binaries it tells me that
1. It cannot gain root access
2. It says the new binaries are bad
3. Overall fail.
There was a similar post on rootzwiki about this, and in that post was a su.zip file that i manually placed in the /system/bin which i overwrote the existing. Still giving me the bad binaries error etc... is there something I am doing wrong? or a new fix avail??
Thanks
PS...also while I'm here i posted this on rootzwiki also but no avail...somewhat on the same lines as what i posted above but with more info about the bootloader.
Thanks
I just picked up a preowned thunderbolt....
currently :
Android Version - 2.3.4
HTC Sense Verison - 2.1
Software Number - 2.11.605.9
.
HBOOT - 6.04.1002
Radio - 1.4.8.00.0.930.w_3
just wondering if this is the most current, and root-able\ s-off friendly software for the thunderbolt. It was already rooted and revolutionary.io hence the bootloader saying so. But for some reason no matter what, I cannot perform a full TB Restore, and cannot successfully update SU binaries ( tried the suFixer on the market..and tried manually putting the file in /system/bin/su . It either says cannot gain root access or insuffiant privileges errors. I can't for the life of me figure wtf is going on. I've never had such difficulty/[problems rooting and customizing any other HTC ( or android phone) before. can anyone help
Run the all in one tool again
Don't update binarys there's issues with the newest update. And reflash your custom recovery. Then flash one of the alrdy rooted stock roms or custom Rom .

I start by flashing cwm via Rom manager premium. Then always flash the alternative amon recovery becUse I like it.better. is that the way to.go?
When re running the tool should I do the unroot then reroot? Is.there anything that will help me being able to use rooted apps run correctly hence the binary issue? Is this being worked on at all?

I wouldn't flash anything through rom manager. That's just my opinion. Maybe unroot and then root again using the all in one tool might work.

Go here and scroll down to update 2. There is a link to download a fixed binary that can be flashed in recovery.

Download SuperSu and flash in cwm. It replaces su. And fixes the exact issue you are having
I really like supersu more than superuser. If I flash this in recovery will it replace superuser?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Yes it will. Then when you reboot. Open supersu and allow it to update its binaries
Nice I'm going to try it.

Hi.
I rooted my Note 8010 using Zedomax' method. All has been fine. My note has now downaloded the JB OTA update, but it fails to install.
I assume I need to restore 'stock' recovery to install the OTA update? But where can I get this from.
Also will installing the OTA remove root? And will Zedomax' method still work to re-root after applying the update.
Regards
Installing the OTA should not remove root but if it does just use the exynos abuse patch app to root that is the simplest and safest method.
Thanks Samir_a
Do I actually need to restore stock recovery? If so, where can I get that?

Cf root method restores stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33298782 and yes to do ota udate you need stock recovery
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Thanks hoss_n2
Ok I ran the CF auto root to restore stock recovery.
But now I have downloaded the ota update 3 times, and on clicking install it fails immediately.
Previously it rebooted into CWM recovery.
Any ideas what's wrong now? I'm guessing I can download a full update and flash it another away, but I assume that will erase all settings.
Try to flash via odin or if u r rooted use mobile odin . Im now on jb 4.1.2 i flashed my note via mobile odin in 5 min
Thanks mexman_2010.
However if I use odin that will trash my settings won't it?
Is there no way of getting the ota update to work?
You dont need to retore stock recovery or fiddle with odin. Just use kies on your computer and it installs the update for you. All your data should still be intact after the process but it is recommended to backup first
Keep in mind that updating using kies removes root
The ota's are using the patch method;
effectively what they do is work out the difference between the new binaries and old binaries and just send a patch that changes the old into the new.. this is done to keep the ota as small as possible I presume.
so if the binary isn't identical to what was shipped with the rom its trying to update then it will have to fail, otherwise you'd end up with an almighty great mess of non booting or corrupted devices.
if they used the file method (complete apks etc like an cwm style zip) then it shouldn't matter, but as it is, the only way to ensure a patch will work is to make sure the files are identical to what the patch was generated against, root allows you to change system files, so root is the primary way of checking if the system has been altered.
ergo if you want otas then you're most likely going to have to run them from a stock rom.
Thanks for all the info guys.
Bizarrely though, having left the Note overnight. It downloaded the OTA update itself and this time when I clicked install it worked perfectly, so
all is well again.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Please every one. I need help with my n8000. Currently i am on stock ics rooted with zedomax cwm installed. Is it safe for me to install OTA update or can i just switch back to my stock recovery by flashing it through odin? I have downloaded the stock recovery so im waiting for your replies
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Why don't you just install the latest version from sammobile with Odin or Mobile Odin instead of using the complicate way?
Can i revert to stock recovery by flashing through odin and still keep root?
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can do that, install stock recovery using ODIN, you will need to use triangleaway to reset your binary count though.
Also make sure the stock recovery is for your devic
Hi guys,
So I have a problem with my Verizon GS3, my PC nor 3 other machines won't accept it. My PC accepted it once and that's when I ran Casual and stupidly chose to just root my device. Eversince then everytime I plug it into my PC, the phone will go USB Connected then quickly disconnects and connects again over n over again. I've tried different versions of the driver, with and without kies. Etc, etc. So far I think Odin 3.7 detects it but everytime I write, it says nand write fail (auth)
So anyway, my apologies if it's already been asked, is there any other way to root, unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery without the need for it to be plugged into a PC/mac?? Thanks in advance.
You can use Ez-Unlock to unlock your bootloader (link at bottom). Also you can use GooManager to install TWRP (Install openrecoveryscript). As for root you can try framaroot with the Aragorn exploit (May or may not work).

Thanks for the suggestions! I just tried ezunlock and it requires root. Unfortunately, I've already unrooted. Gonna try framaroot and see how it goes. Thank you!:good:
OK so framaroot does NOT work on the SCH-I535. I was going to suggest just flashing a rooted stock image using Mobile Odin. But mobile Odin requires an unlocked bootloader. And you can't unlock using Ez-Unlock because you don't have root. It's one big f***ing circle!!

Easiest way is find any PC (Widows or Mac) and run Casual and be done.
best advice
run casual from a friends computer and pick your rom kernel mods and whatnot and go ahead and install them all in one sitting. I am in the same boat as you. same phone, carrier and issue. I rooted it and didnt put my custom rom on it.
I finally got root and an unlocked bootloader from another thread here. Fortunately, despite not having access to my microsd, odin detected my s3 and I got to flash a stock rom, then recovery then an unlocked bootloader. Thanks guys.
