i downloaded a app which tells you if you are rooted or not its called root checker and it says "sorry this device does not have proper root access" does this mean my device is not rooted at all?

it could be wrong. try to update the superuser and su binary. also try some apps that need root access.
see if the apps is working fine or not. For example this app -> [APP] Root Browser - Get full version for free!
if you can move something from usb storage to /system (mount system r/w first), if yes then you are properly rooted
If that doesn't work, try getting some help here -> [GNex TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash, Mods + MUCH MORE [GSM]
they know more then me (since I don't have the device)

i've tried and it won't work does this mean that my device isn't rooted its just when i turn my galaxy nexus on theres a unlocked padlock that wasn't there before i rooted i thought this meant that it was rooted thanks for your help though!
That means the bootloader is unlocked, that doesn't mean you're rooted only that you are able to install your own recovery. Download a terminal emulator app and type su. you will have a prompt show up asking whether to grant SuperUser permissions or not if your phone is rooted.

Hi, i am a complete noob.
I recently rooted my phone without flashing a new kernel using the cwm recovery mod busybox installer on this site. However, since then i have updated my firmware over kies but not a full update, just a small one. Now although root checker says i have root, my root apps can't gain root access. Would really appreciate any help oli could get on this matter.
Running XWLPI on my phone. Any more info needed i can provide but dont know what is required.

EDIT: The link in the first reply worked, I used the unroot all file to clear everything and then the signed superuser only file to root. worked like a charm

Download Superuser from Play store
S2 - Powered by NeatROM
For stock ROMs SuperSU will be better.

Hey guys, I bought new international SGS3 from reseller, and just noticed that device status is modified. Does this mean that my phone is rooted?
Also, I find suspicious apps in application manager, like "GalaxSim Unlock" , "Root Check Pro" and "SuperSU".
That means:
- your phone has been rooted
- your phone IS NOT new
- your phone MAY have a custom ROM or kernel
However, see the bright side of it: at least whoever sold you the phone saved you at least 10 minutes, that is the time one needs to root the GS3.

It's been reported that in some not-so-rare cases rooted phones but with a stock ROM do get the OTA updates.
Your phone is certainly not new, but maybe the "su" binary is missing (even 'though the SuperSU app is there - this app just manages access to the su binary).
Just to make sure the binary is there, install and run this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
It will tell you if your phone is properly rooted or not. After running, you can uninstall it.

I`ve tried this app, it says device is not properly rooted. I attach file with log
You got the su binary alright!
It just needs to correct a few permissions in the binary file.
Install and run this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
it is an alternative to SuperSU which has the ability to fix such permission issues.
Hi, sorry I have really tried before asking, I am at a complete loss as to what to do.
I have used HTC Desire X All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013] from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943822
I unlocked the bootloader, and the boot menu shows the phone as 'unlocked'.
I then tried running permroot, which installed superuser, but when I try to check if my phone is rooted, (Using droidwall : I am trying to enable the firewall).
I get the message that I need a rooted phone to run droidwall .
and 'if this phone is already rooted make sure droidwall has enough permissions to execute the 'su' command'.
How do I know if my phone is rooted?
Thanks - this has been most frustrating, my backspace key has also bombed out. haha
Hello,
Try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en download it from the store and run it it will say is your phone rooted or not.

You should have a su binary residing in /system/bin/ and some sort of control app in your app drawer (probably Superuser). If you don't have these then you aren't rooted.
If you have them, an easy way to test is to use a terminal app , type 'su' and the control app should pop up asking if you want to give root privileges to terminal.
If you are having trouble getting root to work using the toolkit, try doing it manually by following nloooo's tutorial.
Ok, you all forgot about flashing recovery first.
Let me start off by saying I'm a total noob. I have rooted my device before, but that was so long ago I forgot everything. Anyway I don't remember how my tablet got this way because I haven't used it in a while, but I have superuser installed yet I have no root access. I opened up the Voodoo Rootkeeper and it says super user app is installed, device is rooted, but root permission hasn't been granted.
So I tried to root again on top of it hoping it would work but now I just have another superuser app. Somebody please help me get root access.

Use motochopper to root it properly.

Thats what I used this last time when I tried to root it. It installed the second superuser app and when I opened it, it said that I needed to update binary or something like that. But I still had no root access after using motochopper.

I had the same issue after the last OTA. Root was lost and OTA rootkeeper didn't work.
This worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038464
After successfully unlocking and installing TWRP and root, I went on to install this (but you can stop here if you don't want a different ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
I'm delighted by this ROM. Much better than stock.

I did a lot of searching, and tried several methods, but I couldn't find a solution which worked. Is your Prime still under warranty? If not, there's no reason not to unlock.

No its not. I just have no reason to unlock. I dont care about custom ROMs and I would like to be able to return it to stock if I want to later.
So, after the OS upgrade to 4.3 from 4.2.2, I've discovered that some applications that requires root access deny my system root, YES I've checked that my device is rooted, I have the stock kernel, stock firmware but I've rooted it via Odin3 with CF-AUTO ROOT, and yes the operation was successful. Now, the apps that I'm talking about is Gamecih app and all the other apps like that, and Screen recording apps, all of then denied my root. I've tried wifi kill app (that app works perfectly). So what could be the problem? The app or the OS version itself? Please find me a solution to fix this god dam problem, I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-i9305) device.
You need to re-root your phone with 4.3 root script, and then install supersu..
i think the best way is flash philZ Recovery though odin.. good luck
