Problemi with root.. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.. Im new and i have a problem with rooting.. after following the guide shows the message that everything went fine, but the icons do not appear to restart (SuperSU , CFroot) and state is"Modified" -.- I repeated the passage many times, with all wipe and all, but nothing!
how can I fix?? (sorry bad english)

Did you click on APPS and check in there? as they don't automatically move onto your homescreen.

Which kernel for CM7 ?

Hi there
I have tried to install CM7 yesterday and my SGS2 doesn t start. i have done the 3 wipes under CWM. So my question is which Kernel, firmaware... do i need to work properly with CM7 ?
I use XXKI3 and kernel blackheart 666 with cwm 4.2, darky rom.
Thx
I think you should use codeworks (not sure on spelling) CWM.. I think it has it's own kernel and you can root using SOC..

Download and flash this kernel
Download the newest nightly from here and put it into your internal sd card
Boot into CWM recovery
Wipe cache/data/dalvik cache
Flash the CM7 zip
If you get stuck at a bootloop reboot into CWM recovery and flash the CM7 twice.
Thx but how i boot in recovery mode with CWM.

if i was you id take JJE advice and do reading before you go ahead and flash. also to be able to get CM7 you need to be able to use ROMmanager Premium to download the nightlies as far as i use it.....
but anyway if you have CWM go into your apps click on CWM then scroll to reboot phone into clockwordmode recovery and press that and then your into recovery..
but seriously if i was you id watch videos on youtube on how to do it and read the guide that JJe has gave you

[Q] How to have Speedmod kernel and Root?

I just flashed the speedmod kernel and loving it. I thought that speedmod kernel is a rooted kernel but doesnt seem so. So how do I obtain root but I wanna retain the speedmod kernel?OR is there another kernel that improves battery performance like speedmod?

U can flash it again or install superuser from market.
If u can't use apps then, ur phone is really not rooted.
But the apps just asking for permissions,so it just can be the missing superuser

Installed superuser from the market and its showing an empty list so clearly my phone is not rooted.
In the thread it suggested to flash Chainfire's kernel then flash Speedmod again, going to do that now

Hmm crazy.
1) U tried to flash via odin?
2) If also doesn't root device, reflash ur Rom.
Think there must be a fold in system then, which let not root.
Go in "mount & storage" and format system there. Then flash Rom again.
If also no luck u have to wipe all!
But think with a clean system and reflash rom, at least it should work.
Much success!

On 2.3.3 i installed CF-ROOT that comes with CWM recovery 4 and that works perfect
But on 2.3.6 XWKL1 i installed CF-ROOT that comes with CWM recovery 5 but in every sdcard related option it says "E:Error Mounting /sdcard/" like i can't install even a zip

Recovery problem?

I've tried everything and I keep getting back to the Samsung Recovery Utils. Instead of ClockworkMod Recovery.
And I've done all of the correct things as I see it, but there must be one thing I'm not doing right:
Download ROM Manager from the Market.
Flash Recovery.
Choose S2 as your phone.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
All, good. I've got the little Ninja in Black as (Superuser).
But, when I go to load a custom ROM from my flash drive, using ROM Manager, selecting Reboot into Recovery, it takes me to the "command prompt" of the Samsung Recovery Utils - for BML -.
And the only options I have are:
- reboot system now
- reinstall packages
- delete all user data
- delete cache data
I can't seem to get to:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
- reboot system now
- apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip from sdcard
- nandroid
- partitions menu
- advanced
Is there anyone that can tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
When I was on Gingerbread, my Nexus S had the same problem. Couldn't really find a fix so I kept flashing recovery via fastboot. I guess sometimes it just doesn't work.
ICS fixed that.

You still didn't really answer the question, but whatever. If you're absolutely 100% sure you have a GT-I9100 and you want CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which includes it. Such as CF-Root, or pretty much any of the custom kernels.

[Q] im confused why i dont have root ??

ok im a real noob .. but trying to learn ! i have a problem that i cant solve . i had a root on my phone untill it updated some months ago to 4.0.4 then i lost some of the root . i have titanium back up which works but seem to have a problem with superuser. i do have the insane chip in my phone as i checked with eMMC check . last night i uploaded CWM.zip to the external sd card then flashed siyah-s2-v4.1.5 cwm.zip and re booted my phone. i checked in the " about phone " and indeed the kernel had changed. BUT when i ran root checker pro .. it says i dont have root ?
i will type what it says...... superuser application status: supeuser application - version 3.1.3 is installed !
superSU application- version 0.99 is installed
system file properties for root access
standard location
check command: is -l /system/bin/su:
result: - rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 22228 Mar 14 2012 /system/bin/su
Analysis: setuid attribute present and root ownership present. root access is correctly configured for this file ! Executing this this file can grant root access!
alternative location
check command: Is - I /sbin/su:
result: Is: / system/xbin/sudo: no such file or directory
analysis: File /system/xbin/sudo does not exsist
Root user ID and group ID status
SU binary not found or not operating properly
System Environment path : / sbin / vendor/bin/ system /sbin/ system /xbin
ADB shell default user
ADB shell setting for standard access. stored,in default prop. is configured as : shell (non root) user - ro. secure=1
hope this make sense to somebody and they can help me . a couple of point though first .. is my phone now "safe" from the brick bug ? by flashing it with the new kernel ? and if i can fix this problem with the root .. again my phone is safe as i now have a different kernel ? i thought that when i flashed this kernel last night my phone would root aromatically ?? but i guess not ! please can anyone help and give me a noob guide on what i need to do to sort all this out ,,
thanks a million
You could try flashing that kernel(but get .tar version) through Odin and see if it rooted.
yes, your phone is safe from the brick bug with siyah kernal. As siyah has disabled the bug in his kernal.
Your phone is rooted but root checker will not always work with custom kernals.
In Siyah case he has totally revamped the kernal, so that the method root checker uses may not be able to see the modifications properly, thus giving a false reading.

well i have just tried to download font changer lite .. the message i get is superuser required ! it says superuser accsess was not found on your device .? if i have root why am i getting this message ? anyone know ? i think i have a problem with superuser .. its on my phone from months ago but since my phone updated to 4.0.4 i seem to have lost part of it ? any fix for this
cheers guys
method 1. delete superuser apk from phone and reflash siyah kernal, it should install and updated superuser.
if that does not work. delete superuser apk and download superuser apk from playstore and use recovery to flash it.

You can't delete it because you have no root access you need to root your phone normally and it will update it if the rooting introduces supersu then via root explorer delete the superuser apk.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

If it is not installed authomatically from playstore.
find where playstore downloaded it to check the download folder, if it is there follow these instructions.
Next turn off phone.
Press Volume up + home Key + power all at the same time, it will boot you up into recovery mode.
click on install update from sdcard
using the volume keys navigate where you download the file to. It should be in be in the download folder.
click on file using the power key for yes or home key depending on which version of recovery you have.
say yes again it should then install.
after installation completed click on go back till you reach the first screen.
press reboot system and the phone will power up normally check to see if you have a working superuser app.

Is this what you are trying to say ?
your reflashed siyah and then tried to download superuser from playstore but was nt successful.
then you tried to install it from titantium back up it is not working but it is not working now.
Then you were rooted but superuser was not working properly, now it is not working at all.
go into recovery try doing the following : clean cache, go to advanced clean daavik cache, reboot and see if that fixes the problem.
if not we can try a factory reset.

You can back up contacts to sim card, and sms with app Sms backup and restore from Play store.
Factory reset will wipe everything except your internal memory (the 11gb one) any system ofc.

well i have just flashed the Siyah kernel again ! and still no root .. think it must be a super user problem ? think all i can do now is a factory reset . i understand now i have a new kernel .. im safe from the brick bug . so even if CWM + wipe to restore factory settings it wont brick my phone as i have changed the kernel ?
if this is all correct could someone walk me through how to do a factory reset

do you think that flashing siyah kernel via odin would work better than doing it via CWM ? or shouldn't it make any difference ? i have the CWM app on my phone .. so every time i go into download mode it goes into CWM .. so i cant use odin . is there anyway of getting rid of CWM once installed ? i have deleted it from memory card but it didnt make any difference its still there. or should i just do the factory reset ?

for download mode u can turn off ur phone first and then use the Three button combo( Vol dwn + Home + power button) hold all simultaneously till the phone boots into dwnld mode and then release
thanks for that .. just flashed with odin too and still i don't have root ? do you think a factory reset is my only option now ?
well i did a factory reset .. and nothing has changed ? so now i am confused !!! anybody have any idea why i cant root this phone ? PLEASE
Try this
Download a non wipe stock ROM and flash it via Odin and then root that ROM using a rooted kernel like CF via Odin again.
Also did you unroot before you updated to 4.0.4 via OTA?
