My problem is simple and two fold,
I rooted my tf201 the week i got it, no hassles easy as pie. This was back beggining of 2012 when the ics update first came out.
I did my research and I followed the advice of several posters and installed ota root keeper app. I did the root back up, and all was fine
I noticed the first problem I had was I could not get to recovery, but the only reason I've ever needed recovery was to get root on my tablets, so no biggie. that's problem #1.
Several updates went by and ota root keeper did its job, no worries. I kept my root and still got updates. I was happy as a clam, until I got the jelly bean update. So like every time before I went to restore root, only this time I couldnt get root permission. this is problem #2. Now I cant add any new root necessary apps, I checked with root checker and it says i still have root. but in es file explorer I cant get to root directory since the update, and titanium backup cant get access. I have both super user and superSU installed and super SU cant update the binary.
I tried figureing out how to get to recovery so I could reinstall root the easy way. I looked up info and I unlocked my tf201 no hassle easy as pie. then I went to fastboot and flashed cwm touch recovery. I tried installing both through fast boot and from rom manager app. Neither worked
I tried the power volume trick and I make it to the bootloader but when I try to run recovery it just hangs and says "booting recovery kernal img" but never goes to the recovery.
my two questions are:
1. how do i get my root permission back
2. how do i get to the recovery on my tf201
I have been following this forum and I have googled how to do these things and it didnt work. I have tried rom manager recovery reboot, the transformer reboot to recovery app, and adb reboot "..." from fastboot and nothing gets me to recovery.

That would be because you are trying to flash an ICS recovery onto a jellybean bootloader.
You are very lucky you haven't hard bricked your device.
Okay so I wiped my tablet and was able to update my TWRP to Voyager's new 2.6.3 version. I then installed the CMB ROM after using ADB to push it and gapps to my Prime in recovery. Everything installed just fine. When I got my tablet all booted up it seems I lost root somehow. I have never lost root in all the times I have flashed ROM's until now. I don't know if it is because I updated to the new TWRP or what. It is very frustrating and I have tried the Urkel's Fresh Start to re-root and I have also tried motochopper. I have had no success in getting it to root. I have Superuser on my tablet and when I open it up it asks if I want to update the SU binary and when I click yes it says Installation Failed!
Please HELP, I have spent hours on researching this and can't find a way to get my root back.
Edit: Oh and I do have the su in the system/bin folder and Superuser.apk in the the system/apps folder but no su-backup anywhere.
hey i don't know if i am in the right area but i did a root on my phone with oden and chainfire root file. the root was sucessfull but i am not getting full root access. I try to change my boot up animation and wont allow me to do so? I try to install the the boot up animation and it tells me install failed. I have allowed full access for it and still nothing. Anyone have any idea in how to fix this problem?
Hello peeps, evilbeef here!
So yea, I have rooted my phone a while a go I have used Odin v185
and I used Speed Kernel S2 K-2 -21 as the PDA file. I have found this on GalaxyS2 Root webpage
I have successfully rooted it, basically I have rooted so many phones using Odin. :laugh:But this one is different. I already have Superuser app (from google store) before I started rooting it. After I rooted it, my phone rebooted automatically. In the Startup, The phone has yellow triangle. My Phone works normally.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THERE IS NO REQUEST OF PERMISSION SHOWING, I ALSO USED ROOT CHECKER, IT IS NOT WORKING, IT SAYS ROOT ACCESS IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. ALL OF THE APPS I DOWNLOADED THAT NEEDS ROOT PERMISSION ALSO DOESN'T WORK.
BUT ONE THING I AM WANDERING ABOUT IS THAT MY KERNEL VERSION CHANGED.
IT SAYS THAT: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #k2-21
But also when I go to recovery mode, I can flash CWM recovery automatically.
The only thing that doesnt work I think is the Superuser.
I also tried checking su binary vlegacy. I also try to check for updates but superuser keeps me forcing it to close.
I think I am only having issues with Superuser I think. How Can I fix this? Please Help
Uninstall supersu from you phone.
Download supersu from this link- https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/ Copy paste it into your SD card.
Boot into cwm recovery and install the supersu zip file you downloaded.
Thanks for the fast respond bro! I was thinking about the same thing tho, I just want to have confirmation from others if this thing would work! HAHAHAHAH thanks mate! :--------)
So I just successfully installed CM13 on my i9300. Everything works fine, but I just found out I lost root rights.
I went and downloaded the Super SU app from the PlayStore, launched it and that gave an error that there's no SU binary installed and I need to manually root again.
So I downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip, put it on the sdcard, rebooted into CWM Recovery, installed the zip and booted back into the system (when prompted to fix boot I selected no as recommended), but now I STILL HAVE NO ROOT RIGHTS and the Super SU app still gives the same error.
Is there a specific SuperSU.zip I should be installing in recovery to make it work?
Or is something wrong with the recovery and do I need to flash that through Odin? (I don't think this is the case though, as flashing CM13 and gapps went completely fine)
Thanks for any isnight and tips
There is already Root option in developer settings.Can you try it?

In Developer Options I have set Root Access to Apps and ADB it didn't give any error, but doesn't seem to be doing anything either... In file manager I can't reach root, Root Checker app fails, Super SU gives than binary error, and another app that requires Root Access says I don't have it as well..

Flash rom again and dont flash SuperSu its better now without using SuperSU
I got the same problem. I tried to root with odin again but it didnt work...
Flash cm13, wipe data and cache and flash cm13 again. Cm13 should be pre rooted.

Hi Guys, I have the same problem too after CM13. Unfortunately rooting again with ODIN flashed stock recovery back and am stuck on CM13 now with no root and stock recovery. Can someone help please? Below is the detailed description of what happened.
----------------------------
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
same here after rooting once cm13 by developer option, for some reason i had to use hide my root app, now unable to get root back
Its a problem with the s3, it forgets root. The most reliable is chainfire and sticking with a stock rom.
You must:
Wipe to factory,
flash an original rom via odin,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory again,
Flash original rom again,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory,
Allow the phone to boot.
You must flash at least twice and reset to factory at least twice, even tho I sad it thrice, to kill all remnants of the old rooted rom.
Then you can flash chainfire via odin and go from there.
