Best way to root is CF-Root kernel via Odin.Never fails.Just match your kernel to the root kernel in the thread and flash in PDA.

Check Superuser app and make sure Titanium Backup has SU rights. Maybe delete the permission and then restart tb giving permission and remember.

Hey i flashed KA7 using Odin and now i'm trying to root and need help. I was able to succesfully root using SOC but i don't have busybox (what is it and why do I need it?) Am i still considered rooted?
If you find Superuser in your app drawer you are rooted I believe. If you install Titanium Backup all you need do is click on problems after the app has opened and it will give you the option to install latest version Busybox. You can also find Busybox in the market.
Also, make sure that you have room in your /system/ partition. You will want to have a couple megs of free space. If not, you may need to remove from crap from /system/app/
Busybox is "the unix army swiss knife" or something that that. its essential system commands and tools.
Thank you

Here's a question perhaps some one can tell me what I am doing wrong. I had followed all the proper steps and when it got to the end SOC said it was mounting boot path and it hangs, the question if should I be in debug mode or standard usb both amounts to a whole lot of nothing any answers?

I have Superuser in my apps, but when I go to use a "root required" app it says I'm not rooted. Any idea why this is happening?
The most easiest way I was able to get root access was to odin back to 2.1 update, the use an app called z4root mod. After its done make sure you install CWM and your good to go and flash any 2.2 rom you want. Make sure you read the bothered threads if you want to flash a 2.3 rom. Those steps are different.

No. Not possible to use Root Explorer to remove files without root.
Try clearing aplication data first else use adb while in recovery to remove it.

Hi guys, need a bit of help.
I have rooted my phone previously but did not like it so I flashed the stock rom with Odin. This left my device status as modified. Since it is modified I cannot get software updates.
Recently, I had to flash jellybean for my phone as it would not update ota or through kies. Now when pressing check for update in settings, it sais "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".
Is there anyway to change the device status back to normal without wiping data? If not, how can I backup all my data so it can be restored? Samsung kies crashes when trying to backup apps and I'm not sure if mobile go backs up app data.
I am using the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S3, if that helps.
Thanks in advance

Root again, and run triangle away, then flash stock again via Odin and wipe data from recovery.
This removes all evidence of root and you will be completely stock with a binary counter of 0.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did run triangle away before when my phone was rooted.
How do I wipe data from recovery?
Will it wipe all my user data?

>>>>> boot to recovery factory reset .

>>> yes
Far simpler to join xda users and flash a stock rom via CHECKFUS .

The problem is that I have no proper way to backup my data so I can restore it after I wipe data (mainly app data as other data backs up in kies)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
XDA Developers way .
root phone then backup via recovery .
Backup EFS folder
Purchase Titanium backup pro from the market and backup apps .
Also backup your contacts and any MP3 /Video can be copied to PC .
Download and save original firmware via Checkfus .
Update by flashing any stock rom or custom rom .

Thanks for that, looks really helpful.
Just a quick question I didn't find an answer to there. When restoring data with titanium backup, do I still need to be rooted? I understand that backing up requires root though.

Dude, i dont know if sdk is a good/easy option. But try Nandroid Backup on play store.
But the problem is that all these apps from the play store that backup your device require root and I want my phone unrooted after restoring it. Those apps do require root to restore data right? If not then I am willing to use them.

i've used very simple method.
1) connect usb to pc - then select internal memory copy to sd card.
2) for some data will not show any items if connect via usb.But you still can move via file manager such as "solid explorer".Just select file and copy to sd card.It might take a little bit longer.
..i'm already done more than 20 times chg status modified to normal.Just ensure you use proper step as adviced by Xda senior..

So when restoring data do you just copy it back onto the phone?

Hi guys, I've left this topic off for a while but I'm back with new questions.
I have now found Holo Backup (Simple ADB Backup) to backup my phone without any rooting or complicated stuff. I wanna know that if I backup my device with its device status modified, will it still show modified when I restore it?
Also has anyone with an S3 successfully backed up and restored their phone using holo backup and if so what was the size of backup file. When I tried mine it came up with a file slightly over 1gb which doesn't seem right seeing as I have about 10gb internal data and 10gb of data on my micro sd.
Thanks in advance

Use Framaroot to root your phone (!!with SuperSU!!) after reflasing, use Titanium Backup to restore the apps and systemapp-data....
After you did it, go to SuperSU, go to settings and tap on Unroot.... Your device state will be NORMAL after that!
I rooted my phone months ago but suddenly today I noticed when trying to make a backup with Titanium backup, a few weeks after my most recent backup, that the app lost it's root rights. Normally this wouldn't be a problem because when an app needs root access a pop-up display asks you if you want to grant or deny access. But since the pop-up wasn't showing up either I started searching on my phone for the superuser app. All settings seemd correct, also the premission manager which comes default with MIUI rom looked ok.
To keep the story short, I eventually found out that my phone lost it's root rights. Don't know why... perhaps a new kernel I tried the other day but even then it would be weird that my phone has suddenly unrooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Odin. I got all the confirmation messages I used to get after the rooting proces has completed so I re-ran Titanium backup. But this time after a few seconds I got a message onscreen that the root rights had been denied! I checked Superuser app and the log area showed me the same but I can't seem to find out why I keep getting this message instead of the regular Grant/Deny root access pop-up box.
I eventually even tried unrooting my phone. Then re-root using Odin including flashing of CWM touch and Superuser app. Still the same problem: every root based app I try (even typing "su" in the terminal) gets a toaster saying root access denied without even an option to grant or deny root access to this app.
What is happing with my SGS3 and how can I get my root access back to working state?

Already tried that but didn't solve my problem.
Anyone? Maybe the solution is in the "Unable to update SU binary" message Super SU gave me?

I would see that as the only solution too. But how do you suppose that I make a backup without a working Titanium Backup?
Try getting an older version of super user and then updating it.

I believe the Carbon backup app from Koush doesn't require root, and there are other ADB backup tools out there, just search.
Play Store link here.
My ATT HTC One is unlocked and rooted already with CWM no-touch installed.
I installed ES File explorer as well as Titanium Backup Pro and gave both root privileges when they asked for them via Super SU
I can "Uninstall", via titanium backup, all the bloatware apps but when I reboot they come back.
Similarly, through ES File explorer I run the root explorer section and choose to uninstall system apps. I then successfully remove the bloatware, but it again comes back upon reboot.
Are there any other methods I can try or any successful bloatware removals for the One from anybody here? Is it a matter, as another thread about the Incredible suggested, a matter of the kernel not allowing writes to the /system while running? If so, how do I remove bloatware from Recovery?
Thanks!
Q&A there is another thread about the same thing
Ah, thanks. Will head there! Deleting thread in a bit then.
