I rooted my s3 then I tried to run titanium backup, it said I wasn't rooted, downloaded root checker from the market, and sure enough, it says I'm not rooted. Supersu is installed and enable superuser is ticked in settings...Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
So you are NOT rooted, ReRoot with CF-Root 6.4

flash cf root again via odin
If it does not work.
Than reroot using cf-root.
Make sure that in odin reboot automatically is set off.
After flashing remove battery and put it back in.
Than go in recovery mode and than it will be proper rooted.

what method did you use to root the phone? Did you use the toolkit, or ODIN to flash CF-Root?

CF Root is the best and fastest method for rooting imo, it takes 30 seconds and done.
use the chainfire method to root using odin
took less than 1minute

Hi, I rooted my device with this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 and then unrooted. Now when I flash BB throught cwm it says it was installed but i dont have superuser and root access. How can i root my device again?
Thanks.
Try installing busybox and then Superuser or SuperSU apps from Google Play.
Once done, check root access with Root Checker (or similar) app.
Edit:
Or just flash one of compatible Chainfire CF-root kernel. You can also use his Triangle Away app to get rid of the warning triangle and flash counter.

Please make it clearer next time. You never mentioned you wanted to unroot again. Also you never mentioned you had tried cf-root.
To unroot, simply just flash stock firmware.
If Chainfire kernel doesn't root, you're obviously not following instructions properly. Suggest more reading.
You're welcome mate

But I want a simple root program like unlockroot, or that BusyBox guide - are you sure that there isn't a way to root with this guide again?
Not sure mate,
Sure if you flash the cf-root kernel. Will take longer to ensure correct one and download than flash.
Just follow the guide exactly and you can't go wrong.
If you really want to root previous way, maybe post in that thread for more better advice.
Sorry.

Should work, what did you do?
Using stock recovery open cwm.zip
Using cwm recovery flash busy box installer.
Reboot and you should be rooted again.

Did this lot of times (with stock rom and cwm recovery) and it still stays the same, without superuser. In addition, now when i try to install superuser from the Market I get error 941 - what does it mean? Maybe I have problem with flashing archives? There is a way to check if I still can flash files?
Thanks a lot!
Try clearing market data in phone settings/applications/...... & sign in again
Have you also tried SuperSU app instead of Superuser?

thanks, I clear the market data and now I'm able to install Superuser, but when I open the SuperUser there are no applications in the list. SuperSU says "there is no SU binary installes and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem", guess it mean I don't have root access? I think that downloading applications from market won't solve the problem, it should be installed when I flashing BusyBox. As I wrote before, maybe I got a problem with flashing files? (it's worked for the first root and unroot)
Try flash this through CWM. Superuser version and binary maybe a little old, but if works, you can easily update via Google Play.
After instal, your app list inside will of course be empty, should be prompted when a app requests SU access the first time.
when i try to install it it says: "e: error in /sdcard/download/SuperUser-3-10-1.0.7... (status 0)
installaion aborted.
what does it mean?
Not sure, would have to Google.
If I was in your shoes, and previous rooting method fails..... go with either;
A) Chainfire CF-root kernel and then use Triangle Away app to reset counter & remove warning triangle
B) Backup and save to PC. Full wipe and use Odin and flash stock firmware. Root again as per original method
Done

it's too complicated for me..
Think i would stay unrooted until there will be another simple root tool without changing the kernel :\
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I found out that I have BusyBox 1.17.1 installed. I found it with the app "Root Check Pro". But I'm sure that I don't have a root access even thoght I have BusyBox installed. How can I remove it? "Root Check" says that the file is in "/system/xbin/busybox" and this information correct - I can see the file but can't remove it because I don't have root access. how can I uninstall it? or replace it?
* already tried install BusyBox & Superuser from the market, they don't do anything because I don't have root access :\
I attached pictures of BusyBox information and Root information. (from "Root Check")
Added some information... Still stuck without root but with busybox installed
I have my friend S3 I have rooted it for him months ago the root that does not change recovery (I think auto root or something)
but now he cant OTA update and it says device is modified I tried to unroot using root keeper but still same message
is there any way to update with out losing data no problem if root is lost
Use Odin instead. Rooted=No OTA

Root does not restore apps .
Kies update then reroot its as simple as that .

I used odin to root and went two weeks with just a stock rooted phone. i downloaded team venum jellybean and used CWM to install. at the end of the installation when i went back to reboot i got a "may have lost root" would you like to fix, after doing this and the rom loaded i had lost all root permissions...Anybody know where this noob went wrong? You can be brutal in your repsonse my fellow internet travels, any help would be thankful.
Did you double check if you still have root access? You can check by installing root checker from the play store. If you do still have root access make sure you still have super su installed. If not install that from the play store as well. Worst case scenario of you don't have root access. Just root again.

Hello!
My phone (Cherry Mobile Bubble Android 2.3.5) was rooted before through Mobogenie's One Click Root. I don't have any problem my apps gaining root access. But i can't do software update, so i thought that's because of being rooted. So I did permanent root at SuperSU settings, and I have successfully updated my phone. But when I rooted my phone again, I can't gain root access through SuperSu. It always shows "Installation failed". I do have an update zip file on my sd cards root. But to no avail.
Please help. I'm noob regarding on this.
You cant just install SuperSU and expect it to work. You need to use your 1 click tool again. Or another full rooting method.
When you unrooted the binaries that was root were deleted.

In addition, I already did uninstalling and re-installing superSU. And I have also tried to use Superuser or any other superuser app, but nothing happens. I already did a factory reset, but still no change.

I already did that. I've rooted it again through one click root, and it says i am rooted. But SuperSu says, installation failed. While superuser says, it can't gain root access.
I have lost root access before when I updated SuperSu, I can't remember what i did then. But i was able to get back root access.
If you have a custom recovery superSU has the option to flash the correct one manually.

No, i don't have any custom recovery
Is there other way for me to flash the correct one?
Try Vroot, its another one click root method. I used it on my Note 3 and installed superSU afterwards. One downside is it's chinese, so its hard to read lol.

Does anybody know how to root the note 3 sprint with lollipop using the the base band OC5, please help with a step by step guide.
thanks
Update: I made my way to root I combine two methods to do it, thanks to all of you.
Use the latest method by chainfire for kitkat. That's how I did it.
If you dont care about knox, I would just odin latest twrp and flash supersu zip. Super easy.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app
Could you elaborate on this latest method of rooting by chainfire?
Use CF Autoroot from chainfire. You can find it here. I used this method and it worked perfectly.
I heard Chainfire method isn't approved by XDA, can a veteran confirm?

I'm on OC5 and I was thinking of using towelroot. If that doesn't work, I would then try Odin flashing to NH7, then towelroot. I don't want to trip Knox since I have Sprint's insurance. If those methods don't work, then I would consider Chainfire.
If I trip knox, can't I just flash back to stock to reset the counter?
The easiest way to gain root is to flash a recovery, twrp or philz. Then flash a superuser zip file. Then clear cache/dalvik (should really be called runtime cache now)
I'm having an issue regaining root on stock 5.0 (previously rooted). I rooted with CF via Odin but found Supersu conflicted with one of my other apps. I used the labeled option in Supersu to uninstall/clean up to switch to another super user app. I tried ChainsDD's app first but was unable to get the binary to update (even with the update fixer so or odin flashable). I then tried Clockworkmod's app and experienced a similar issue but lost root all together. Since then I've tried: Reflashing cf auto (causes phone to freeze on sprint logo at boot)
Flashing Supersu update.zip 2.46 and beta 2.49 made for 5.x firmwares (same issue as cf)
So far the only way I've been able to get the phone to boot after attempting to root is by odin flashing the OC5 update again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Instead of using cf, just

pull battery
odin twrp
boot
power off
Boot to recovery
Flash supersu
Wipe cache/dalvic
Reboot
Profit!

I'm currently using the latest twrp. I believe it's 2.8.6.1. I tried flashing the Supersu zip and clearing both caches. Same result.
