Hi, appreciate this is my first post and thus my question will be regarded with a certain amount of skepticism.. am only posting cos I think my issue is unusual and have not been able to find a similar question/answer through my searches on this forum
Basically, the issue is I rooted my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) a month or so ago, installed clockwork mod and superuser etc,. however I held off flashing a ROM because I figured my OTA jellybean update was imminent and wanted to see what the touchwiz jellybean looked like before installing Cyanogen or another ROM. wasn't sure if the OTA would come thru once I shed the stock ROM
So I waited for weeks for the OTA (am on Orange, now Everything Everywhere, in the UK) and have not received it.. last week I went onto Kies and saw there was a new firmware update, so I updated thru Kies thinking that might be what was needed to receive the OTA JB update. updated the firmware but still no JB update - however, now when I check my root status on Root Checker, or try to use any app that requires root, I'm told that I don't have "proper" root access.
My question is updating the firmware over Kies, did that mess up my root access.. am I now unrooted? (this doesn't seem correct) It seems to me I am in a limbo of sorts - not properly rooted anymore, but not fully unrooted either. I want to root the thing again so I can install cyanogen or supernexus, and I would appreciate advice on what to do - should I do a factory reset and then root again as before, or will this cause issues.. was just gon soldier ahead and do it but aware that this may cause problems if my phone already has files from the previous attempt on there.. for example the SGS3 toolkit V.6.0.0 I'm using says not to proceed with its root operations on a phone "that's already rooted" so am hesitant to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated. cheers
You've lost root with the update, just root again and it's all good.
About a month ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Grand(the single sim version) with the help of Klingo Root, worked like a charm and had no problems at all. I even uninstalled all the bloatware samsung and the carrier had installed. About 3 weeks ago then an official update poped-up, so I updated my phone through Samsung Kies. Everything went fine, but after the reboot of the phone I noticed that all the bloatware was back, so I just figured, maybe i have to uninstall it again.
But then disaster struck SuperU said there is no SU Binary installed, so I though could have the update unrooted my phone? So I tried rooting it again with Klingo, doesn't work, I tried Framaroot, doesn't work either, I even tried to install Clockworkmod with Odin and it doesn't work. I even repeated the procedure while factory resetting my phone.
Has anyone else encountered this? It seems my phone is somewhere in between being unrooted and rooted? Everything else works fine.
Help! I just want to uninstall the carrier bloatware!

When you update your software it actually update your firmware. So the previous method will not work for this firmware.
1. you need to do it with different method if developers found it for you
2. just installed previous version of android .
3. May be fixed by factory reset..
4. You can even install prerooted custom rom like CM11
As per my experience new update will not that much compactible for all phones..
Hi, I'll start from the beginning, so I have a smart phone vodafone 2 (Alcatel V860) I wanted to upload the new software but accidentally I uploaded a backup of the tablet, after uploading the backup phone can not be connected as the flash mode, or in any way, you can not enter the recovery can not in any way connect the computer, the phone is as if dead. when I connect it to the computer when it is turned off the sound indicating that a new device has been detected, however, this software can not be installed. I hope that there will be a magician who already had a similar problem and knows what to do. Please help as soon as possible, if anyone knows what's going on I can talk about it on skype because it seems to me that it will be hard to even describe.
Thanks in advance.

No... Samsung kies doesnt provide feature to downgrade android.
You need to flash firmware package through odin.
you can google it for your device or search on xda...
All the best..

Hey guys new around these parts... anyway.. I succesfully rooted the LG G3 using "Stump Root" on my friends phone... she enjoyed the benefits of having a rooted phone for about 3 weeks before she came in to work and told me her Pandora One and Pandora Patcher weren't working anymore... i checked Xpossed Installer thinking that was the problem... thats when i noticed the phone wasnt allowing me root access... when i open up SuperSU it says "there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. this is a problem, If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your device"... maybe she did a system update because her phone is showing Android 4.4.2... so that is why i am now here... asking for your assistance... I know i'm a newbee or whatever term might apply, but assistance would be much appreciated... everything else i have accomplished on my own so far, but one could say I'm a bit "STUMP-ed" on this one.. pun intended. please someone help me with re-rooting this LGg3... i hope fixing it is as easy as the initial "stump root" process.
Hello everyone, this is my first post on XDA. I was wondering if anyone could help me, i recently downgraded my z2 to 4.4.2 in order to flash the baltic prerooted lollipop firmware that came out on this forum. I later installed the patch to get the recovery working at everything went fine.
Here is my problem: the phone seems perfectly rooted, su is installed and root checker confirms the root, but unfortunatly i can not write of modify anything in the system directories, it says i dont have the permits, even after i granted them. I realized this when i was trying to install the "close all" button as explained in this threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-button-recent-panel-t3057345 .
Does anyone have any idea what could i have done wrong ? Or experiences the same problem? I need help thank you everyone and thanks for this incredible forum.
just looking for help with my AT&T LG G3. So I got my G3 while it was still on KitKat, I rooted it with Stump Root. Everything was going alright. It was all good until the Lollipop OTA update came around. I updated my phone and noticed that SuperSU was giving me this message: "There is no SU binary installed, and Super SU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your device.!" Iv'e looked into complicated steps of manually re rooting my device, but I don't think those are the same situations I am in. Therefore, Can somebody please, either link me to a proper instruction on how to fix my problem, or reply with an answer.
