It could be possible that the binary of SU is not updated. try downloading superSU in google store to see what happens.
If that will not work, yes you can root gain your phone using CF root kernel then try flashing another kernel like siyah, speedmod etc.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!
once i had the same problem.. try the latest version of cf-root ..hope that solves ur problem...

Same problem, different result
Hello guys
First of all, I'm sorry to bump an old thread. But I guess it would be better than making a new one
I got my SGS2 from my sister few days ago and I tried to root it. After I did everything instructed by all tutorials I've read, I still can't use CWM Manager. It said just like above posts.
What I did:
1. Root the phone (already tried with 2 different kernels, the LP7s)
2. Open the SuperUser app. The app didn't give any options when I first opened it (like some tutorials do), it only gave 'Okay' to click.
3. Open CWM Manager and you all know the rest
4. Tried to install SU Updater fixer, but the app told me that there are no problems detected.
Then, I found out that I also had a problem connecting to wifi after I root (stuck in obtaining IP address). I didn't have the problem when first I use the device from my sister.
Waiting for your kindly replies. Thank you in advance

try changing the kernel and see, u can try Siyah latest 3.3.2 and check
ps- please make a nandroid bkp of ur exsisting rom in, case u face any issues u can rewert back
Did you root using CF-root?
If not, install the stock firmware if you arent on it, and use odin to install CF-root.

I been reading how to root Tab10.1 in the forum and tried using Odin to root my tab. Unfortunately I failed to root my Tab for many times, Odin just don work. I guess it is bcos of the version issue.... think so bcos the files that I downloaded is for P7510......
Any1 can direct me to ROOT guide for --> How to root Tab10.1 for GT-7500 (3G version) ?

1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.

After reading this post, I remembered a funny thing,
I accidently downloaded the 7510 files instead of the 7500 files when i rooted my tab.... The thing is that I rooted with no problems and it worked great.
how can this happen? Is this normal?

Root on 7500
Hi! I want to be sure of something before doing it...
I want to become root on my 7500 I can't afford to lose any thing on it (apps, data, settings...) because it's not my tab.
So by downloading the RETAIL 3G [GTP7500] root.zip, and going into recovery mode to install the zip, will I lose something or not? Someone said in this post that no data is wiped, but in there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
They say that install a rom in going to wipe all the apps... and I feel like it's what we do here since we are in the recovery mode.
Anyway, thanks for any precisions.

This has been answered several times in this thread.
Installing a custom recovery and installing Superuser does not cause you to lose data. You'll end up with a rooted, but still stock, tablet. All of your data will still be there unless you do something else, like installing a custom ROM.
Download cwm recovery.md5 from droidbasement
Do some odin, install superuser.

Hi all....
Yes, there are loads of threads on this, but it appears my own specific problem isn't mentioned anywhere and I'm hoping someone can help.
The normal 'update.zip' way or rooting (official) 2.3.3 just doesn't work on my Ace - I get the following error:
Applying Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/h3g/system'

I think it may be something to do with the three mobile firmware, but can't be sure - is there any way of rooting this so I can use Titanium Backup?
TIA

The last time I tried CWM on my last Ace it totally bricked it! Not compatible, so reluctant to go down that road again unless I know for sure it won't brick it. I was lucky enough to get the bricked one swapped out as faulty as it was less than a week old.....
EDIT: Actually, it was ROM Manager that bricked the phone, but I'm wary of anything with the 'ClockWorkMod' name attached to it!

Ta - what custom ROM's are available, is there a list anywhere? Is there anything actually better than 2.3.3?
I guess since I can't use TB I'd need to reinstall all my apps again if I flashed a custom ROM!! *Groan*
you can try cf-root by ketut.kumajaya
Tried VillanROM (three times) but no keyboard - seems like a common problem with it. Don't think I fancy the cf-root. Too many files available at the bottom of the post and don't know which one to use, plus many pages of problems with it, so I think I'll pass.....
I too own an SGA (2.3.3) on 3 and rooted it using this zip:

I selected "install zip from sdcard" instead of "install update from sdcard".
Worked first time for me. Hope that helps =)

Hello everyone,
I've already posted 2 threads here! People have been helping me understand alot of this rooting/recovering and stuff.
But i need your help again. I have a LG P500 with official 2.3.3 update and I want to flash the TWRP on my phone (phone was rooted. I have the superuser app) Im following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146566 but im stuck at the "su" command!(by stuck i dont mean bricked! I just can go further than that step!)
When i use that command it takes a while and then it says "Permission denied".
Isnt it supposed to ask me for permission? It didnt even show anything to choose if i want to give the permission or not!
If any of you have another way to flash that custom recovery or could help me with this one i would really appreciate your help! (im kinda noob but i heard that ROM manager has a "good" reputation when it comes to bricking phones so ill probably pass all the tutorials that i need to use it!)
PS: i downloaded the TWRP from this site TakamineSubasa gave me (http://lg-p500.zrusit.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7). And also im using Terminal Emulator from the market to write the commands.
Would really appreciate all the help anyone could give me!
Thank you in advance
edit: sorry didnt see that you were using terminal emulator, please go to Superuser app and be sure "Terminal" is listed in the allow list
I dont have any apps listed on the superuser app! And i dont know how to add them!
BAAAM! From xda app! (LG P500! LEGEN.....DARY!)
Mmm thats weird, when you enter "su" command it should prompt permission :S
Try reinstalling Terminal emulator
If that doesnt work, maybe root is screwed.... After you try re-rooting your phone, install Android SDK then do the recovery install within windows command
Oh, and please post which version of stock rom is in your phone... go to settings --> about phone and post that details, and check if its v10a ,b c, etc...
Some letters doesnt like to be rooted the easy way...
PS: If you dont want to install Android SDK also try the second method in the guide i gave you
just download rom manager
then download CWM recovery
after that, reboot into recovery
and flash any recovery zip file that u wan
The first time you use a function that needs root permission, you should automatically get a screen like this: http://fs03.androidpit.info/ass/x66/772466-1281914300690.jpg
After you click allow, you'll be able to use the su function. I suggest you try using other program that asks for root (for example NoFrills CPU Control, or enable root explorer setting in ES File Explorer). If the screen doesn't show up you may want to repeat the rooting process. By the way, did you root the phone before or after official upgrade?
Alternatively, you can try the LGMDP process for unrooted phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15217609&postcount=3
I've heard a lot that using ROM Manager isn't recommended, due to the many reported issues related to it like fastboot, but since I've never tried that I can't vouch for sure.
What I did on my phone was use this "simplified method" to install custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13422938&postcount=91
You'll get an AmonRa v1.2 by following this guide, but after that you can easily flash any recovery you want including TWRP using ciaox's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197

Hello XeactorZ
I appreciate your help but im not an expert in this (only rooted my phone once and apparantely i did it wrong!) and what i heard is that ROM manager is well known for bricking phones and i dont want to take that risk since i dont really want to be without my phone.
Btw my software version is V20c!
I'll try to install ES File Explorer and enable the root explorer setting to see if i accidently pressed the deny option and now its not allowing me to do anything!
if its the case then ill have to unroot and re-root again right? (used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167).
Another thing! when i use the command "su" on the terminal emulator i sometimes get a force close error from the superuser app.

Just go to applications menu and clear data for ES file explorer.
I just tried to enable the root explorer option but, again, superuser app forced closed..
terratrix i only installed ES explorer now, i think that didnt affect anything on the superuser permissions. I'll probably unroot and re-root the phone again today. Cant do it at work but ill try to do it at home.
If you have any ideas i could try, please leave a post! would really appreciate it.
Thank you everyone.
PS: right after i posted this i tried to open the superuser app and now it simply doesnt open. Always force closes!

yeah, for those unlucky guys. be warned.
i will still use it though. served me quite well. never failed even once. <knock on wood>
Well i told you guys i would post to tell you how it went!
I managed to "fix" that denied permission problem. What i did was simply update superuser app! And BOOOM! problem fixed.
All went well with the Recovery flashing, I also flashed CM7(had a few scares but managed to fix them [thanks to that im now half asleep at work ]) but after i flashed CM7 and booting into it, i found a problem. My phone doesnt have GSM. I found it wierd that when i booted into it the first time it didnt ask me for my PIN but i didnt even noticed as i was really sleepy. This morning i noticed that i had an "x" next to that GSM scale or w/e you want to call it. And i also dont have my SIM contacts listed.
Im posting this here just to update you guys about how it went but ill do a thread so i try to fix my problem and hopefully it will help someone else!
Thank you guys for all the help you gave!
Hey there everybody,
I'm new on the forums and i just got my samsung i5500 a few days ago, it came with 2.2 froyo by default.
Considering i have loads of questions I'll try to be brief, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod on my phone but the tutorial i found there seemed to be quite lacking in detail considering this is my first time using android, so my questions are:
1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please)
2. do i need to root my phone ?
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places)
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ?
5. do i need the rom manager ?
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ?
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ?
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ?
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

1. Install 'clockworkmod recovery'
2. Yes
3. Did that for me, but pressing the root button again, before shutting app, worked
4. No, you can install clockworkmod through the app 'ROM Manager' found in the market, be sure to click our phone model though!
5. For installing clockworkmod, and if you get premium, downloading the latest version of cyanogen
6. Through premium app 'ROM Manager', or go to the rom manager website and find the files on there.
7. You have that option when you are booted into recovery mode (used for installing roms)
8. If I understood your question right, cyanogen rom is gingerbread 2.3.7 so installing that is all you have to do
I was exactly the same as you when I first did it, kept asking questions and was nervous, but if you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong

3. Tried pressing the root button several times(without closing the app) but to no avail, any other suggestions ?
4. Tried installing it through rom manager but my phone model wasn't in the list, any ideas why ? could my phone not being rooted have affected this ?
6. tried searching around on the site but the cyanogenmod post says that the files are only available on the weekends or you need a premium account or something like this, any help with this ?
7. how do i get into recovery mode ?
thanks for the helps so far, i really appreciate it

Do you have the latest version of it? Or,
have you tried any other apps? E.g 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot'
4. When did you try it? Its only recently been added. And I would root first, just to make sure that's not stopping it
6. I havnt personally used it, but id ask that in the dedicated cyanogen port thread in development, they'll be able to help you more
7. Through rom manager, after you have installed the clockworkmod

Yes, as i said i have 1.6.2 beta 5, and i haven't tried the others because this one was deemed the safest to use, i'm kind of skiddish about using other unsafe programs
4. I tried it a few hours ago, but i guess i'll try again if i can get it to root.
6. found em, thx anyway
Alright, its there for me so if you root and its not there just tell me and ill try help from there. Good luck!

Ok just tried to root with 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot' but they both came up as viruses on my eset smart security 5, any other rooting solutions ?
Try this version of universal androot, http://bit.ly/9wAKC5
Your anti-virus software, is it on your phone or computer?

Hey there everybody,
I'm new on the forums and i just got my samsung i5500 a few days ago, it came with 2.2 froyo by default.
Considering i have loads of questions I'll try to be brief, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod on my phone but the tutorial i found there seemed to be quite lacking in detail considering this is my first time using android, so my questions are:
1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please) Root your phone using Universal Androot- might take a few tries- just keep trying, flash your phone with Clockwork Mod v4 via Odin (or Rom Manager), put the 3 latest CM7 files on your devices SD card, go into recovery mode on your device, then install the files in the specific order (Follow the simple instructions on the official I5500 CM7 thread located under the Development section of our phones forum)
2. do i need to root my phone ? Yes
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places) Just keep trying, it'll work eventually.
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ? I used Odin to flash Clockworkmod on my phone but I think you can do it via Rom Manager now, not too sure but the ODIN method was pretty simple, plug your phone into computer, put your phone into download mode and follow the 'One Package' method and then start the process.
5. do i need the rom manager ? I didn't need Rom Manager when I flashed CM7 to my phone, but CM7 automatically puts RomManager on your device.
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ? Check out the official CM7 I5500 thread.
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ? Go into recovery mode and click wipe data.
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ? CM7 installs 2.3.7 Gingerbread to your device.
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

I'm still a noob at this kind of stuff, but I hope i have helped.
thanks guys for your help, i got everything working
If your phone is loaded with Froyo 2.2.2 you will have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as the exploit used by superoneclick ect to allow root access was fixed in the latest Froyo release. Just follow the threads for upgrading. Good luck!

Birdmanul, I have had the same problems trying to root my I5500. Could you PLEASE give me a run down of the program you used or what EXACTLY you did to root your phone? I have tried w/all one click root programs w/o success and would really appreciate your insight. Thank you in advance for your help.

Dude ..... you seem to be in real deep crap here....... PM me....... looks like u need some help.
Dont worry, once you get up-to-date on this stuff, you'll be quite confident bout it.
Trust me-we were all the same when we started out.
i reverted back to the official sony ics recently(by a generic file) then i wasnt able to root using the doomlord's toolkit, so i flashed mesa hybrid kernel v4.2, and I rooted my phone.
I have superuser installed, but it is not granting root access to any app. Please help
I already tried to root again, and clearing data and force closing the superuser app, but it's still not working...

I tried to root it with the ray's .562 kernel, but the root fails. It says it doesnt have permission, as system/"blah blah" is read only...i also tried lww's .431 kernel, but still didn"t work.
and i even tried super user su, didn't help
sidenote:I can't do anything "root related" as i dont get any permissions, so should I flash another kernel or rom to root? is this even possible?

Did you checked UNKNOWN SOURCES & USB Debugging on your phone ? Did your pc has the driver of your phone ? If not, you can install the driver from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511176454 . Thanks to DooMLoRD .
Press THANKS if i've helped you !
Say byebye to the root.
Reflash Rom, then reflash kernel.again.
Do not do rooting stuff as it is for locked bootloader.
Since your BL is unlocked.
Flash kernel has pre-rooted feature.
Good luck.

Glad to help you ..
Next time, you could just install custom kernel, download a rooting flashable zip file and install it via kernel's Recovery. I do it often, because I prefer to use Clockworkmod's Superuser and by that zip file, I avoid any kind of problems.
superuser not prompting or updating
ok so ive rooted my lg g2, and i have root access through apps, but superuser isnt at all prompting for superuser access, also when i try updating the binary it says: making sure new su works.....fail. now I know thats probably no problem, but I dont know what to do to get superuser to promp or work correctly, Im not sure this matters or not, but I would like it to work. if anyone can help i'd greatly appreciate it.
