Hi Guys, first time flashing and just successfully done so with SpeedMod kernel. Checked the kernel version and yup it's there.
One problem though, I tried installing Titanium Back up but it says my phone is not properly rooted. So I downloaded Root Checker and it says that my phone is indeed not properly rooted. What happened? I thought SpeedMod automatically installs root?
Hope (and Im sure) you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!

Installing speedmod kernal won't give you root access.. 1st you have to root your phone.. Search for it.. I will tell one method.. Flash an insecure kernel.. Then use 's2 root ' to root your phone.. There are many other methods..
Thank me if I helped

I see. I thought it was gonna give me root straight away. I posted a topic here about that and the one who replied told me to just flash SpeedMod straight away.
So what I have to do is flash an insecure kernel, then flash SpeedMod again?

errr....wrong
Quoted from the speedmod changelog:
Current features:
Root and CWM:
- Automatically installs root (su)
- CWM recovery

perhaps you need to update superuser or download SU Update Fixer
What are you guys on about, speedomod and most if not all custom kernels do indeed root you phone. Try to flash it again and plz use odin, not recovery as some assume.

Speedmod automatically roots your phone....
I expect superuser wasn't updated to the latest version,
Did titanium give an option such as 'yes, do it'?
If so, it's because your superuser app was not updated to latest version, check it on the android market.
I've flashed SpeedMod hundreds of times, it's never once failed to root.

I flashed it using Odin. Titanium didn;t give me that option either. I guess Ill just check the market for the latest Superuser then. Ill get back to you guys once I get back home, still here at work.
Thanks for the replies!
Ok so I downloaded the latest SU. Tried updating from within the app. So i got to the black screen with the green fonts, it says i run the legacy version. Then when it gets to the gaining root access.... Part, it always says fail. I tried dling the Su updater but all its says is ok.
Any help anyone?

My suggestion as you are going around in baffling circles .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Start over with your custom rom root whatever .
Thanks for the tip Jjegan but I can't afford to lose all my apps in the process as I still can't use Titanium Backup. I've already updated to Superuser v3.0.7 but Root Checker still says I do not have proper root access.
I was browsing the OneClick Root thread and I saw someone there with the same problem (Superuser installed but can't use apps that require root access) but was not answered (I went from page 1-39). Spekaing of OneClick Root, would it work? It says it installs Superuser, su and Busybox.
I hope someone can help me with this.
**Also, would reflashing the stock kernel then flashing SpeedMod again solve the problem?
Might sound obvious but anyway: go into su, scroll over to the log and check that su hasn't been inadvertently blocked.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
No use. My log is empty plus I set the automatic response to Allow. Still nothing.
Should I just reflash the original kernel, clear all data then reflash Speedmod?
I'm running stock firmware btw.
I ran S2 Root and it says my device already has PERM ROOT. I'm getting confused...
Try fixing permissions, if that doesn't work try flashing a CF kernel or the original one. If all else fails you might have to bite the bullet and follow the advice above and start with a clean slate.

Ok I got it. XXKL1 can't get root access (I bought the phone from someone so I didn't know this before). I went ahead and flashed CheckRom v6 and everything worked! Superuser, root, etc.. everything! Good thing I kept on reading. Anyways, thanks for the replies guys!
Speedmod will make you lose root. Root again and flash a kernel like redpill or siyah.

if cf doesn't work you need to flash it with auto reboot unchecked, then use 3 button combo to boot into recovery which triggers the installation

well i did root succesfully my S3, but now i get the famous notice:
"Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
i even did use Triangle away 2.10 but now unfortunately it seems it isn't able to reset counter in JB 4.1.1 as it did succeed before with ICS 4.0.4
What the heck to do now?
Same here regarding the software updates after rooting JB with CF 6.4. Any ideas on this issue?

after reading in several threads in my newbie mind it did occur the following"
- maybe only apparently cf root 6.4 does the job- cause these lil issues weren't coming up in ICS 4.0.4
-maybe this glicth should be looked into and then maybe we get a new ".tar" like cf root 6.5 or so....

The root is there...my Titanium Backup is reporting that it can acquire root. The only problem is with the broken OTA functionality.
Did you stop and think you have the latest OTA, what's the point of downloading and flashing the same update every time you check...
Beside, you use ODIN to flash the latest update, whats the point of using the OTA function if every time it flashes an OTA you need to go and reflash cf-root...
Personally I use mobile ODIN after flashing and rooting so I don't need to keep re-installing root...

Thanks for the reply. This is more a workarround than a fix to the initial problem. I would like to use OTA even with a rooted phone.
Root fix?
Any further ideas on how to root the S3 on the ROM: I9300XXDLIH?
I have tried CF Root 6.4 using Odin 3.04 and 1.85, still no problems.
I'm not sure about the unchecking auto reboot when flashing the CF-Root 6.4 and then booting into recovery to prompt an install? I've booted into recovery but not sure about how to prompt it into an install?
I like the new 4.1.1 ROM, but disappointed my apps aren't running correctly because the phone's not rooted?
You have tobhave auto reboot so it flashes the files for root

well that's somehow half true in our case
..and why i say that
when i had ICS 4.0.4 following the advices from xda i did succeed properly the following:
1. Achieve fast & safe root
2. Preserving the capacity of my device to get OTA updates
(3. TriangleAway did work as a charm- did reset flawless the counter)
as a summary of the above said all was superb
now - with stock 4.1.1 with root performed ( in the same manner) i get a superb msg: "device modified"
and TriangleAway doesn't reset at all the counter anymore
i must say i did follow the others advice and did - using ODIN Mobile- revert to stock ICS 4.0.4 and then flashed Stock rom vodafone 4.1.1 to try to avoid loosing root and to be able to get some OTA updates
it seems that at this point i did fail somewhere when i used TitaniumBackup in restoring some apps:
1. this one asked me if to revert to the old Mac Address- and i accepted in order that google apps keep recognizing the device - did this wreck up the clean status of my just flashed phone?
2. or did i wreck up the phone's status by restoring from a backup ( i think i did a restore from a backup that included system backup too) - in this case before flashing- i should do backup only for the apps- without any system backup?
Hi,
Im kind of new to this, so i need some help. I have googled all this stuff but it still makes no sense.
So, im trying to root my galaxy s2. I've done everything according to instructions.
Im running on ICS 4.03 and my kernel version is
3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
[email protected] #3
Baseband:
I9100XXLPS
I have downloaded the file CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar , as it is supposed to be the one I need to use with odin.
I have installed Kies and drivers for the phone.
I fire up download mode, and do everything correctly in Odin with the file stated above. Then when I try to use SuperOneClick and click root, the problems start;
First it says that automatic version detection failed, is my OS version newer than 2.0?
-> So i hit yes.
Then the next window pops, and states that my phone has already been rooted. do i still want to root anyway? i hit no, so it stops.
if i hit yes, it starts to root ite, which i have tried 3 times and the longest I tried it took 90 minutes, so i gave up.
Then i try to execute some commands with terminal or titanium backup, and nothing actually works. I see superuser and CWM in my apps though.
What am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance.
After flashing CF-Root there is no need to use SOC, because CF-Root is already rooted. :silly:

Get SuperSU from Google Play, should help you.
If not, flash other kernel like Siyah/Dorimanx or whatever.

As long as its rooted... right?
Also, the SuperSu says that the SU binary needs to be updated when i open the application. Then it says update failed.
Goddamn i hate this when this happens to me.
Could you even point to me where to download these other kernel and are they safe to install on my device? i don't understand anymore
Yeah. Except certain latest ROMs that use the latest Mali drivers. Siyah doesn't support those yet. And the dorimanx kernel that supports those doesn't support the older JB and all ICS ROMs
Download siyah v4.1.5 from www.gokhanmoral.com
Use the tar version if your installing via Odin and the zip version if via CWM recovery.

OK,
So i installed siyah with odin. Superoneclick says still that i am rooted so i cant root.
In the phone nothing that should work (titanium, superSU,) is working.
So it is not really rooted.

I agree with Siyah, been using it since 2011 without issue
Try rooting using the method by rachmat3 thats in my sig.
Then flash the siyah kernel if you want.
Do it all through recovery/cwm if you want.

I just updated my S3 to Jellybean (flashed stock Optus 4.1.2 rom from Samfirmware with Odin). I know it's normal for root access to be disabled when new firmware is installed, the problem is, I can't seem to re-root it. I flashed Cf-root with Odin but I still don't have root access, it didn't take for some reason. Any idea what's causing this? I'm using Siyah Kernel if that's relevant.

siyah already includes root.
CF-Root is another (stock-ish) kernel so you kick Siyah out with it.
Flash Siyah, go in stweaks fully to the right and press the "root" button, it will try to re-root on next boot

Thanks for the info, I actually thought that was the case at first which is why I installed Siyah before cf-root. The things is, After flashing Siyah, I didn't have root access and I couldn't open Stweaks because of that (I got the message 'no root access or timeout') which is why I was trying to flash cf-root. Maybe Siyah didn't flash properly because Stweaks wasn't installed, I had to download it from the market. It sounds like you're saying I have to change something with Stweaks in order to get root access after flashing Siyah (I don't remember having to do that last time), how can this be the case if I need to be rooted to use Stweaks at all? I'll try flashing Siayh again anyway and see what happens.
I just flashed Siyah (v1.8.9) again and I still don't have root access and I still can't open Stweaks ("No root access, or timeout!"). I'm pretty sure Siyah installed properly because it shows up in the 'about device' settings.
EDIT: Just tried flashing an older version of Siyah (v1.8.6), still no root.

Thanks for replying. Is there anything in particular that I need to do in recovery? Or do I just need to boot into recovery, reboot and reflash. Also, can I do this with Siyah instead of CF-Root?

When I try to root It was like your problem and when I jump to recovery(stock) I saw some red posts and It reboot automaticly.Then I reflashed CF it was succesfull.

Thanks for the links. I'm also very new to rooting. Just tired using CF Auto Root and soft bricked my phone because I didn't know there wasn't a new enough version for my G900TUVS1FOL1 build version. I flashed the stock firmware with Odin and surprisingly it booted and all my data is still intact!? I didn't lose anything like I was expecting.
So now what? Instead of CF Auto Root I can use the method you just mentioned? Also, when I clikc the TWRP link there are a ton of them, which one do I pick? And do I just need the .tar file? Or do I need the .img as well?
A little more detail and I can probably get through this. THanks!

After you flash supersu and it says "this device is not rooted , do you want to root" make sure you say no because that doesnt actually root your device , it just bricks it.

I tried installing TRWP from Odin, with auto-reboot disabled. It appeared to load into my phone, a window in Odin said "Pass!". But then how do I immediately boot into recovery? None of the keys on my phone were responding. I had to pull the battery. And then when I rebooted with Power - Volume Up, I didn't have the TWRP recovery.
And also, should I be installing twrp-3.0.0-0? Or should I use the newest one twrp-3.0.2-1??
From what I read elsewhere about Odin, once the file has flashed onto your phone, the phone should reboot automatically. If I uncheck auto-reboot, then how do I reboot the phone?

Thank you that worked, my phone is rooted!!
Now, I have to decide whether or not I will try to flash a custom ROM, or just delete crap from the phone that I don't want...
Can I use any Root Uninstaller app or is there a good one that someone can recommend??

Install TWRP in Odin with auto-reboot disabled, immediately boot into recovery and flash the SuperSUv2.67.zip

I've tried this method twice now - both times the root works but a few days later the root disappears. During the period where the device is rooted everything seems to work correctly including root. I haven't done anything that could possibly remove root - I haven't even restarted my phone. Any ideas? I used Odin v3.10.7, TWRP 3.0.2-1, and SuperSU BETA-v2.71. Should I try it with SuperSU v2.67 instead?
EDIT: I've re-rooted with SuperSU v2.67, if anything happens I'll update this post.
