I have Samsung S3 (GT-I9300)
Followed the guide in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535
After that when I reboot in recovery it tells me:
Custom Binary Downloads: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
The reason I have 2 counts is that I installed 'CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.tar' with Odin3 v.1.85 and discovered after that there was a later version Odin3 v.3.04. Then I reinstalled the tar-file with the later version ... I guess no harm done. Odin installed successfully both times.
But where is SuperSU & ClockWorkMod ???
I thought the were installed with the tar-file.
When I boot in recovery there is no option 'install from zip' ... so I can't install the downloaded 'CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip' either.
Tried to install SuperSU from Play (both free & pro) but when clickin on SuperSu error message 'there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it'
So where did the simple rooting go wrong ???
Appreciate help.
The device restores stock recovery on boot unless you
* rename the etc/install_recovery.sh
* or take the x-flag from it.

Had something similar some time ago, but it only sended me to stock recovery while using adb to reboot.
Download cf root from chainfire and flash it with Odin.
Afterwards install cwm touch with rommanager.
Worked for me back then.
Edit: btw, the thread you are referring to is for cwm touch only, got nothing to with root.

You are right ... it is shown in download mode ... my mistake
As mentioned I downloaded CF Root 'CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.tar' from chainfire and flash it with Odin.
I got this from Odin:

Then I downloaded/installed 'rommanager' from Play but when running it there is an error message that I am not root.
Don't understand howto get root privilidges ... thought flashing CF Root took care of that.

As the name tells it is cwm not root.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
download cf root from the third post and flash it with Odin, afterwards you have root and cwm installed. If you want cwm touch do like told before with rommanager.

Thank you nodstuff & Tectas ... now I am airborne and much wiser
Well ... it seems that I am not 100% airborne.
After I installed 'CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip' with Odin I maid a backup.
Then I flashed 'RR_JB_V3.0.6_AOKP_4.1.1_I9300.zip' & configured & rebooted ---> S3 is dead after the 'Samsung S3 GT-I9300' is displayed.
Now I have to boot into recovery and restored my backup to get S3 alive again.
What is wrong with 'RR_JB_V3.0.6_AOKP_4.1.1_I9300.zip' ?
I have used RR before on my old S2 and had never experienced any problem ?
Is it a S3 issue ?

Have you follow the installation guide from RR thread (specially the wipe things...) ?
Of course I forgot ... the wipe things... thanks
Can you advise me about the modem thing ... I googled and found it has to do with the reception signal
Before I flashed I had (Samung default) basbandversion: I9300XXLH1
When configuring the kernel there were the options for modem:
DXLG2
XBLFB
XXLF3
XXLF5
Which one to choose ? I took the default one DXLG2
Is there any documentation about these guys ?

Since Samsung had XXLH1 is there one of the modems
DXLG2
XBLFB
XXLF3
XXLF5
to prefer ?
It strange to have options to choose from and no documentation is provided ... just close the eyes and point ...
I found a easy solution for this
if you're getting the binary error
just ignore it and root again with autoroot
1.download cf auto root (just google it)
2.use odin to root
3.download super su from playstore (when you use auto root super su gets removed)
4.rooted

Had a cross between the issues here. Had flashed CF-Root through Odin and couldn't get it to boot into recovery. So flashed again with Auto-Root it opened into recovery and then still didn't appear to be rooted.
Downloaded SuperSU from the playstore and hey presto... it's working like a charm.

Dear friends,
I think i soft bricked my phone and i do not know what to do.
First i was on 2.3.6 (GB) Sensation N ROM (2.0). Then i desided to go for a stock ICS (4.0.4) and downloded I9100XWLPM (4.0.4) and flashed it with Odin (only PDA file). The flash was sucessfull but i didnt like to experiance of 4.0.4 (i was unable to reach my contacts through the numpad - phone.apk force closes) and i decided to go back to Offical GB (2.3.6) firmware. I flashed with Odin
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XILA3_I9100XWKI1_I9100XEUKH2 firmware and the flash was suceful. But after restart it gives me force closes on the first boot screen (Google Services framework, Softaware update aplocation) and self restarts and then the same again.
Then i flashed with Odin the "new" GB Bootloader GT-I9100 and the same file again but the result was the same. And then something hapened and i did not manage to flash any more with Odin (flash unsucessful ).
So then i flashed again with the follwing PIT file (i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-stock.pit) and the
PDA (GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XILA3_I9100XWKI1_I9100XEUKH2.tar.md5) and the flash was sucesfull but i have the same problems with the force closes on the first boot screen.
I am out of ideas and do not know how to proceed.
Any help will be apreciated!

this is the part i did
Recommended Steps For Flashing.
Put phone into download mode
In odin select Your valila copy of the kies update and put in PDA option box
then select the posted TWRP and put in phone.
click start to flash and watch the progress,
AS SOON AS IT finishes the flash with writing the second recovery image hold down VOL UP AND VOL DOWN for the reboot, the device is now in recovery with twrp
you can either do adb sideload (choose advansed on main menu) to apply the patch or adb push and place on the sd-card (Note in recovery the phones internal memory is /emmc and the sd-card is /sd-card , so it you dont have a sd-card inserted you must use adb push filename.zip /emmc/)
once the file is sideloaded ( or installed via twrp install menu option for adb push users)
then do a factory reset once more.

My Dear Friend Just Install a Recovery Like CWM OR TWRP
Your Problem Will Be Solved
[solved]How To Root Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160L (New Method)
Basic Requirements:
Samsung Galaxy Note (SHV-E160L)
Computer
USB data Cable
Phone Charger (You won’t expect your phone to die of the battery during rooting)
Now we move on to our step by step procedure. (Do follow each and every step and read them carefully to avoid any problem for which we will not be responsible.)
Root Samsung SHV-E160L
Procedure To Root Samsung Galaxy Note
1. First you have to download all the drivers for Samsung SH-E160L on your Computer.
2. The second and most important thing to do is, enabling USB debugging. For this, you will find Developer options in your Settings option and then Enable USB Debugging.
Developer Options
In Android 4.2.2 the Developer mode is hidden and to unhide it, go to Settings and then in about option go to System Information. Inside this, you will find Software information, and then there you will see “More” option, inside which you will get Build Number. Tap on this option for 5-8 times and then a message will appear, “You are now a Developer” which means that the developer option is now shown under your settings option that was earlier not present.
3. Now the next step is to download vRoot(search in google and download) and install it on your Computer.
4. Now open vRoot and then mount your Samsung Galaxy Note to your computer through a USB cable.
5. The vRoot will automatically search for your smartphone once its connected to your computer and it will automatically detect when your phone is attached.
6. Now, click on your phone name in vRoot and in the next window that appears, you will see a root button. Just, click on it.
7. The vRoot software will automatically start rooting the phone and will automatically install SuperSU app in it.
8. Now you have Successfully Rooted your Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160L. To verify that you have successfully rooted your phone, go to your menu and then search for SuperUser app. If you found that app then it means the device is successfully rooted and if not, then please repeat the process carefully.
Note: Your Manufacturer Warranty gets Void when you root your phone. It means that they will charge you for any damage that you cause to your device. So proceed after making your mind and making clear of what are you doing. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE DURING ROOTING.
If for any reason you want to Rollback all you have done, then go to Play Store and just Download SuperSU (ChainFire) and install it. After installation, open the app, move to Settings and then select Full Unroot. Your device will be brought back to the earlier stage.
Hey guys
Could need some quick assistanse getting CWM running.
I decided to get Omni KK running on my SGS2 i9100 to see if i can get a bit of fresh feeling to the old thingy.
I downloaded:
philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100.tar.md5
Boot the Phone into Download Mode.
Start Odin
Add the tar.md5 file to the PDA.
auto reboot and f.reset time is checked just as Philz thread says.

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Odin seems to fail to flash the file and i seriusly got no clue what the issue could be.
The phone is rooted, runs busybox, i did the EFS backup through ADB. So everything seems to be working fine except this part.
And unfortantly i cant install the zip file through Android 3e recovery and twrp from app-store says that the SGS2 is not supported.
Seriusly need a quick fix for this lil n00b issue i cant figure out.
Why not Zip FIle?

Just a "." Not my actual modelnumber which indeed is i9100.
Im running latest stock btw, if thats the issue here.
The url u mentioned.. anyone able to find the correct cwm neesws if i've chosen the wrong one ?

Also it says the file is for Gt-i9100, i9100, i9100g etc, you model is .
Just a "." Not my actual modelnumber which indeed is i9100.
Im running latest stock btw, if thats the issue here.

same problem here ... i also got error like this ...
I am trying to fix my i9300 UK.
I Had it running just fine with Ultima ROM and TWRP with Googy kernel.
Then one day it suddenly would not boot. Just got stuck on the samsung boot logo. I could not even boot to recovery.
So I asked and got a very short answer that I should flash the stock rom. So I downloaded the stock rom for my phone from sammobile and tried to flash it with ODIN.
However, I just get a FAILED sign when I try. What can I do?

This the the file I am trying:
I9300XXEMD2
Should be ok. I am on three.
I have looked in the task manager and can't see any reference to Kies on there. I guess I could uninstall just in case.
What is very worrying now is that I just tried to flash again using ODIN 3.04 and it said I needed a .pit file to repartition. Re-partition is not checked so I don't know why it is asking for this.

what do you mean by adb boot into recovery?
I will try to flash that custom recovery now.
While in download mode it says:

UPDATE: Trying to flash that PhilZ recovery says I have not included a PIT file again. This is bad isnt it?

Well thanks for the help.
I think I will take it in to get it fixed. I had the screen die on me not so long ago and had to take it in for a replacement screen then, so this is a little frustrating.
Oh well

Hey!
I am getting this tab in 3 weeks, is there any "1 click root" method like vroot? If not can someone help me what to type in CMD? (i've installed cwm recovery on other my devices and custom roms too but they were way easier to root with one click methods)
You would need to use v1.0 for now. Safariking is fixing the v1.5 to make it all correct again. Have fun in the meantime folks and a good new year!

Much Easier...
FYI, change step 5 to then reboot system from twrp and choose to root the rom when prompted.
after booting into the OS using TWRP prompts of "play" and "normal" installed binaries and rooted no problems. no sideload or adb necessary.
TWRP handled this all just fine for me.
I also had to use Odin 3.09. 3.07 failed for me 3 times in a row.
(win 8.1/sm-t230un) wifi
I followed the instructions, but after it updated the firmware (first stage), it rebooted and went straight back into the normal OS, no changes.
Now when I try to access the download mode it won't - just keeps rebooting to normal OS.
Anyone any ideas? The Log bit from Odin says the following:

it sounds like your problem lies with step 4 and 5 after the flashing in odin is complete DONT let it reboot to android... when odin finishes and the tablet turns off and back on press and hold press power+vol up+home until it reboots the first samsung logo at which point let go of the power button and continue to vol up+home until you see TWRP logo now when in twrp just select REBOOT and then SYSTEM after android boots proceed to step 6 and 7 and you should now have root..
Awesome thanks for the help!
You should give credit to the original post as it did from ShinySide. This guide has been around for quite sometime now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264
Added: it's still working on the latest firmware.
Can't remember too well: I too let it reboot after odin but no problem going into TWRP (note the difference in combo buttons) and select Reboot and it will has a choice to root. No need to odin again.
Got there eventually, just need to find some decent roms for it now!!
hi, just bought this awesome tab. quick question, where can I download the driver?
