My phone has been rooted for a while now. I've tried various custom roms.
I recently did a format and installed Villainrom 2.0. When i try to use root apps such as mobileOdin or battery calbiration, it says the phone is not rooted.
When i go to superuser and try to update my SU binary it says the installed version is LEGACY.
when i try to update it, it gives me an error saying failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to flash ICS using mobile odin (because odin doesn't detect my phone). But obviously need root access. Which i'm quite sure i have because my CWM is working fine.
Root it again save all the messing about .
Root + CWM .

Reflash Kernel first.
If also doesn't work, reflash rom or directly new rom ;-)
CHEERS ;-)

Does it have to be Odin that's used to root and install cwm....
Feel stupid now.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Turns out i just had to download the latest SU binary.

Hey
I just flashed VillainRom KG3 with CWM and I lost root acces. I have the ninethephine kernel (or so)
In on holiday and forgot my usb cable. Is there a way to get root acces back so I can flash MIUI?
Thx

If you flashed CF-Root at least once, you have an app called CWM. Now, download and flash CF-Root from within CWM app's flash kernel functionality. I did it once and it works. CF-Root comes with root so you'll instantly be rooted. The same can be done with Rom Manager app too, I think but I haven't tried that.
Lol I just could flash the rom from CWM.

Once rooted and with CWM you can flash most custom roms via CWM including kernels .
A good tip is to leave the rom you flash on SD card you can then easily reflash in case of problems .

Another idea: install superuser and busybox from the market and see if you get your root back?
I don't know how you lost your root so these ideas may be crap, but you can always try, LOL...
Look for the CWM apk and download SU from Market, install both then reboot.
Hi guys,
I have an international S3 with the latest (until today ) firmware.
Everything works smoothly and fine, but I want my root back...
So after some reading I found the process is pretty simple.
Downloaded the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 package, odin 1.85. Flash PDA with AutoReboot and Reset time.
The process ends up successfully, but when reboots I still don't have root.
Any idea as why this is happening, I couldn't find any alternative ways to get root...
Any help is welcome
Cheers!

Cf root has yet to fail for me.....are you sure you dont have root. you may just have to update your SU binary. Tried that?
do you see the SU apk in your app drawer?

How do you know you don't have root ???
Do you have CWM Manager and CWM recovery if not its a failed flash .
jje
Happen to me once: CWM was flashed but no SuperSU and no CWMmanager after reboot
If it's your issue, try that:
-reflash CF-root with "auto-reboot" untick in Odin
-when flash is done, disconnect your phone from computer
-Directly do Vol Up+Home+Power to restart in recovery
This should start the flashing process for SuperSU and CWM manager
Then the phone should restart (or do it yourself from recovery) and you should be rooted

there are many ways to know if the phone is rooted or not , one is by installing titanium backup application. when you install titanium backup, it will tell you whether your phone is rooted or not

Thank you very much for this advice! Until Android 4.1.1. I had not problems rooting with CF-Root, but after several (re)flashing (re)tries with CF-Root your trick finally got my S3G with I9300XXDLIB rooted! :good:
I wanted to post a question about this in CF-Root forum, but since I'm new I don't have rights to post there, but your advice definitely belongs there.
hello. i have a problem regarding my galaxy i9300. before this, i already rooted my device but i unroot it again and install stock rom because
i think it is more stable. but now, i want to play heavy game and need to use chainfire3D and i want to root again.
my problem is, i follow all the step to root using cf-root and odin. the odin said it pass. but when my device reboot, i cant find
superuser and there is no CWM. then i try to check my device at about phone, it said already MODIFIED. but when i tried to instal any app that
need root, it cant be open because it says it is not root yet.
help.. i just dont know how to fix this. if i want to flash stock rom, the binary counter must be 0, and need to instal triangleaway but also need root access.
sorry for my bad english.
Same problem
I have also found that I have the same problem. Following a successful root and install of CWM prior to installing the OTA XXDLI8 jelly bean firmware I can now no longer root or install CWM, despite odin reporting a 'pass'. I have tried several versions of CF-Root-SG3 - versions 6.0 and 6.4 without success. I cannot find any other reports of this problem. What am I missing? The phone otherwise works perfectly.

Hi
I guess you have to do it manually. All you have to do is to follow these steps here: http://mobilecon.info/install-clockworkmod-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
and you should have CWM working on your recovery
I hope this helps! cheers!
i already do this but still nothing change. but actualy this problem already solved. this problem occur maybe because i update the stock rom .maybe they put something inside the update file so that we cant flash a cf-root file.
i just flash the stock rom back although the binary counter is not 0. then a lot of thing will be unstable (maybe because of the update). then after flash stock rom via odin, i flash the cf-root. then i got all the SU and CWM. now i can flash all the custom rom.
by the way, thanks..

Hi All
I had rooted my phone a few days back using odin and cf-root. Today I got new updates from Kies. (android version is still 4.04) . Now the root was gone, so i tried to root again. But it started to fail all the time. I donwloaded latest ODIN V3.07 and CF-Root V6.4 and tried that. Now Odin says PASS but there is no su or cwmod and root checker says no root.
Is there anything obvious I am doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your help!

go back to your nandroid/cwm backup restore and see if its fixed, also if Kies worked you must be running stock firmware as updates not available to modified phones
dont tick auto reboot and after ODIN has done its thing, boot into recovery manually.
thanks all.
i finally rooted it using the s3 toolkit, with the recovery method. it said it worked on all devices and it certainly worked with mine
Guys I was trying to root my bro's GS3 with odin.. the flashing went perfect, infact there was a SuperSU and CWM app installed too, but when i tired to open the app it was showing that SU bianary needs to be updated..
I even updated the SuperSU from the Play store but was getting the same error essentially.. also tried the Superuser FIxer app from PS but it also stuck at
Gaining root access :fail
I tried flashing the SuperSU 1.51 .zip from the recovery mode by placing it in internal memory but to my surprise the file path of the internal memory was not visible and when i inserted a sdcard and copied the file to it and then tried to flash it thru recovery, it was successfull but got a few erros , something like who file not successful(will try again and post exact same thing in by tomorrow)
in the meanwhile can anybody help me? plz its urgent..
phone was on stock rom 4.3 OS before root
mods plz move this thread to the QnA section if necessary, i had ticked it while submitting but my browser froze soon after that

I do not think your ROM is rooted properly. Try to download some software from play store to check whether it is rooted or not.
If not rooted then you have to google and search the rooting process. You have to use computer ODIN to flash and root your phone.

Having SU app does not mean your phone is rooted. Thats just an front end to provide you root access. Your phone has to be properly rooted.

ya i know its not rooted as i cant get the root access, my question is that shall i directly try to reflash thru odin?
Do you have a custom recovery? Did you flash cf-auto root? Philz touch is a custom recovery based on cwm. Flash that with odin, go to philz settings and then re-root system.

The simplest place to start is a root checker app (just stick root checker into play store). If it says that you don't have root then you don't simple as that. In which case use CF-AutoRoot program on your pc which will flash both a Custom Recovery (clockworkmod) as well as root... after that, the world is your oyster...
The root checking app is the simplest way to check if you have root though if you're new to stuff like this.

I am sure you were using stock, based on the OP. Get the custom and have a go. If you flash auto root it will give you stock recovery. You need to check philz or cwm threads for the odin flashables.
