Hey!
I was trying to root my friends phone, since I got more experience than him on rooting.
I downloaded Super One Click Root 2.3.1 and rooting it was a success.
I got Superuser and Busybox installed, but here's where my problem starts.
I still have the original recovery(download mode) look, so it hasn't changed.
I can't backup my phone using ROM manager, it says whole-verification failed(or something like that).
I can't use Odin v1.85 because I'm getting stuck on Setupconnection.
So, shortly said, I can't backup or restore anything. But I do have ROOT access.
Because of that I don't wanna continue installing any ROM's or Kernels!
Any kind soul wanna help me out? <3
This isn't anything like rooting a Nexus S

Is that method not out of date .

ROm Manager not work according to hundreds of posts .
CWM backup .
I can't use Odin v1.85 because I'm getting stuck on Setupconnection.

Hi everyone I just bought a Galaxy S 2 four days ago. I rooted it with CF root via Odin. Thanks to Chainfire for that. What I wanted to ask was that the kernel just roots the phone and provides us with Superuser and all the rest of the apps. If I make a back up from CWM will it back up my whole Os which is Stock Samsung Touchwiz?
And also I would like to ask, Can I start flashing Roms now through CWM Flash zip option?
I am facing another problem I am trying to check for any updates but the problem is that when i try to check for updates it always says that it has failed even when i am connected to wifi!
Can anyone please help me with that too!
Thanks in advance!

Whole OS and apps but you need first time have an EFS backup seperate see threads .
And also I would like to ask, Can I start flashing Roms now through CWM Flash zip option?
Only if the rom instructs you to flash via CWM .
I am facing another problem I am trying to check for any updates but the problem is that when i try to check for updates it always says that it has failed even when i am connected to wifi!
OTA updates on phone do nor work use KIES but you have changed your firmware and codes may no longer match for KIES updates .

JJE, sort your quoting out man xD
Anyway.
1) Yes if you make a backup in CWM it will back everything on your phone up, including everything in /system.
2) Yes you can start flashing ROMs.
3) Because you're rooted Kies stuff will not longer work.
Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-i9300 running 4.1.1 Baseband 19300XXDLIB.
I have been trying and trying and trying for the last few days to root my mobile. I take care following all of the steps and I have tried every type of root program and files I think are available but even though they download to the phone and reboot into their custom recovery, then install the files needed to root, none of them have worked!!
It's strange because the phone is just unrootable it seems. I have tried several versions of Odin. I've tried what should be 1 click rooters but nothing works! The most recent files I have used to download to my phone via Odin were CF-Auto-Root-m0-gti9300, CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4, SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse, SuperOneClickv2.3.1-ShortFuse and SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse all of which have been recommended to me and I have strictly followed YouTube videos and written guides. I don't think I am doing anything wrong yet I still have no root access. The last root I tried installed a CWM app (I know it stands for Clock Work Mod but not sure what I am supposed to do with it) but not SuperSU which is supposed to come with it.
Please can someone help? I'm tearing my hair out here!
I should probably point out I am not using the stock ROM as I did manage to brick my phone at one point and had to install another firmware, although I would like to go back to my original firmware yet I am not sure what it was...is it possible to figure out what the stock firmware should be? The phone is unbranded from the UK.
Many thanks

No you can only guess .
TO ROOT .
Factory reset the phone and install CF root 6.4 via Odin .
But its really pointless rooting when you don't have a clue as to why or what .

May also be because your computer hasn't been installed with the samsung drivers yet? Kies i think it's called..
Have you tried downloading supersu from the play store? And be sure to not try superuser but supersu.
I had the same thing with cf-autoroot. supersu wasn't there and I didn't have root. Tried several times, never worked. After that I tried rooting with the old cf-root that also installs cwm recovery. Recovery was there but no supersu and the phone didn't get root. Tried that several times too but that didn't help either, although that is how I rooted my phone successfully right after I had bought it. Went back to cf-autoroot, same result, no root. But as soon as I downloaded the app supersu manually and updated the binarys as it tells you to at first start, I had root.

Kies is not required (and its junkie bloatware that doesn't properly clean itself up on uninstall anyway)
Windows can pull the drivers from WU.
You Sir, are a legend! Thank you very much, you have sorted my problem I had SuperUser instead of SuperSU like you stated. Who would've thought it'd be so easy to fix?

You should probably not just imagine that just because someone has a problem that they don't have a clue what they are doing. I have done this numerous amounts of times with several phones, my Samsung was just slightly more difficult since I had made an easy mistake by not taking note of my original firmware and by not realizing that I needed SuperSU and not SuperUser (which I'm sure is a common and easy mistake).
Try next time not to put a fellow site member down.

Phone has been fine, rooted with cwm5.5. This is wifey phone so I keep messing with it at a minimum. At some point I noticed it no longer has root. It runs stock 4.1.2. With a couple of root apps - such as AdAway-which is no longer working and has error message "Either subinary could not be found or you did not allow root permissions for AdAway"
Superuser app has this error "There are currently no superuser app policies." then "Superuser binary must be updated" attempting to update results to error "There was an error installing superuser. "
I rooted the phone again with the same CWM ver. file. attempted to flash superuser but it errored and aborted installation. I rebooted and installed rom manager so that I could update CWM. That errored out as well. Root verifier confirms there's no root on the phone. I have installed busy box but it has the same error message no root access.
I thought to root with CWM ver 6.0.4.6 but installation aborted. I tried TWRP but it aborted as well. Only CWM 5.5 works which my normal routed is then to flash superuser, install rom manager and then have it update to CWM to ver 6.xx. But his time none of these is working. How do I regain root?

Initially I had actually, but camcorder issues, modems with sporty service ... we a deal breaker. Si I just restored it to stock with kies to avoid more lip. Only thing I did was root the stock so I could install a few apps such as AdAway. I don't plan to do stock on this unless I can get get rooted stock rom.

When I rooted my phone I was wary of using methods that would have me going through either download mode or having to install a custom recovery (which eventually became pointless since I had to do both to flash roms anways lol) but at the beginning I was trying to use something simple.. while googling I stumbled upon this http://www.kingoapp.com/ and rooted from there.. it's like a one-click root kind of thing and seems to keep the root working regardless.. maybe you wanna check it out and see if it helps, in case you loose your root again. If you wanna run your phone stock but rooted, at least after doing the restoration via keys you'll keep the stock samsung recovery.
Hope it helps!

Thanx for that link/suggestion. I didn't see Note i717 listed under supported devices. Did you if this app supports rooting the i717?

I know, it doesn't show our device, but I kind of went with the home page "root all devices" statement they had and it worked perfectly fine. I did the same with my sister's Note 2 t0ltetmo which is in fact a canadian Videotron phone I gave her and worked fine too. I do not believe that that Note 2 is in the list either, but it still worked

Hey it worked some - I decided to test it on my old Captivate. The only thing is it doesn't install CWM/TWRP or similar. So I cannot install a custom ROM. Is it not supposed to install a custom recovery? If not how do I do that having rooted with Kingoapp?
Thanx again for suggesting this app.

My pleasure, and glad to hear it worked! And no, lol, sorry. The app only roots your phone, but it does not install a recovery. The good thing about it is that at least you can run stock and use any rooted apps, like I do with my Asus HD7 (for which, unfortunately I haven't found either a custom recovery or a custom ROM to flash, so I run it stock but mess around with root apps)
However..
I looked into this Galaxy Captive thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547997 and didn't find a recovery itself that could be downloadble.
So while googling I stumbled upon this: http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2013/10/how-to-install-custom-recovery-in-most.html.
I my english is good enough to understand, it would seem as if the goomanager app allows u to install recoveries directly from your phone, so you could maybe try if you wish.. If u do, please let us know how it worked, as I'm sure others also would benefit from this.
If you want a CWM recovery for either the Note i717, the Note2 T889 or the S2 T989 let me know and I'll upload them, as those are the only ones I have ATM.
Cheers!
Hi guys, i'm still new to rooting and roming. Heres what i have done on the absaloutley wonderfull s3 19305LTE 4.3 australian model.
Rooted the phone no problem with odin
There were dramas with superSU but got them fixed when i deleted and re installed superSU.
Accodring to rom manager i backed up my rom. So i'm thinking great, now i can download a rom.
i got the galaxy project rom thing which is working great....however
superSU is now saying that SU binary needs to be installed, it's saying i need to manually re root which i can't seem to do.
Titanium back up is not working.
Rom manager can't find any backups which is juuuuust peachy!!
Now odin won't see the phone when it's in download mode, it only sees the phone when its in normal operation.
and i can't seem to see the ime number or whatever it is, which is probably why odin can't see the phone in download mode?
Can anyone........anybody at all............help?
have u try to reset factory? and see if odin have detect u pda then u can re-root again

Well, I would say why don't you try factory resetting your device at first and then again try connecting it over the ODIN see if that works out or not ! :cyclops:

You need to post in the i9305 q&a section for more detailed help.
Try not to use rom manager, it creates more issues than it fixes.
no imei number will not make odin not connect to it.
Can you access recovery? if so reflash the rom.
Hi guys. I'm still new to rooting and roming. Not sure exactly what i have done wrong but i hope you guys can help so heres a quick run down.
Rooted the phone no problem with odin.
SuperSU gave me a headache so i uninstalled and re installed through play store...rebooted and all was well. With rom manager pro i backed everything up. TWRP recovery.
with mobile odin pro i flashed the galaxy project and re booted. It looks great but when i got to superSU it says there is no SU binary installed. Now titanium back up won't work either. I checked with root checker and it is detecting superSU but it's saying that my phone is not rooted which kind of makes sence as to why it isn't working.
With rom manager when i try to restore, it can't find any back ups which juuuuuuust peachy!
So now my thoughts are re rooting and starting from scratch. Not sure if i'm on the right track here but it doesn't matter anyway because odin will NOT see my phone in download mode.
Not sure if i've done something wrong, i probably have just not sure what it is but i also feel that this is salvagable.
Can anyone help?
