Hi guys,
I have an international S3 with the latest (until today ) firmware.
Everything works smoothly and fine, but I want my root back...
So after some reading I found the process is pretty simple.
Downloaded the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 package, odin 1.85. Flash PDA with AutoReboot and Reset time.
The process ends up successfully, but when reboots I still don't have root.
Any idea as why this is happening, I couldn't find any alternative ways to get root...
Any help is welcome
Cheers!

Cf root has yet to fail for me.....are you sure you dont have root. you may just have to update your SU binary. Tried that?
do you see the SU apk in your app drawer?

How do you know you don't have root ???
Do you have CWM Manager and CWM recovery if not its a failed flash .
jje
Happen to me once: CWM was flashed but no SuperSU and no CWMmanager after reboot
If it's your issue, try that:
-reflash CF-root with "auto-reboot" untick in Odin
-when flash is done, disconnect your phone from computer
-Directly do Vol Up+Home+Power to restart in recovery
This should start the flashing process for SuperSU and CWM manager
Then the phone should restart (or do it yourself from recovery) and you should be rooted

there are many ways to know if the phone is rooted or not , one is by installing titanium backup application. when you install titanium backup, it will tell you whether your phone is rooted or not

Thank you very much for this advice! Until Android 4.1.1. I had not problems rooting with CF-Root, but after several (re)flashing (re)tries with CF-Root your trick finally got my S3G with I9300XXDLIB rooted! :good:
I wanted to post a question about this in CF-Root forum, but since I'm new I don't have rights to post there, but your advice definitely belongs there.

Hi guys
I'm having a strange problem rooting Samsung GALAXY SIII, please consitrate with me and help me if you can:
1- I've downloaded Odin
2- I've downloaded CF-ROOT V6.1 and 6.4
3 - I've enabled USB Debugging
4 - I've checked if the device is recognized on my PC, It's really recogbized and Kies can connect it
5 - I tried flashing the 2 CF-ROOT versions, Odin says "Pass" with green background, the device reboots, but not in recovery mode as it should start flashing SU and CWM, so in consequence, there is no SU or CWM apps on the device, and even no yellow triangle on bootscreen ( which appeared on my Galaxy SII Rooted with CF-ROOT and by same steps, but didn't appeared as I said, on my dad's SIII )
I tried it twice again, nothing happens
what is the prob??
Note : the model is GT-I9300 and I verified it and downloaded the right versions of CF-ROOT
Try this:
-open odin
-untick "auto reboot"
-choose CF-root 6.4 as PDA
-connect your phone (in download mode)
-flash CF-root (your phone will not reboot)
-disconnect your phone
-VolUp+Home+Power to restart in recovery
Now your phone should start in recovery and should start the installation process for SuperSU and CWMmanager
Thank you so much, but I tried this, I'm really shocked because I got the full CWM recovery, not the stock recovery, but it didn't do anything, I tried to do it manually by pressing "Install zip from sdcard" but, I couldn't find any zip to flash SuperSU
Try using odin 1.85
There won't be any yellow triangle for S3.

CF-root 6.4 includes recovery that is why you have custom recovery instead of stock..
After flashing CF-root your device will bot normally and not in recovery..install Supersu from playstore to check whether you have root or not..
Presence of CWM recovery generally suggest that CF root has worked..
Also while flashing thro 'ODIN' do ensure that no 'KIES' process are running on ur PC by checking with 'Windows Task Manager' if so kill them.
since 'Kies" sometimes interfere with Odin
Unfortunately nothing different
can anybody give me a CF-ROOT version with SuperSU and CWM ( maybe older than v6.1 )
If you are using any antivirus software uninstall it before rooting.

Your phone won't reboot into recovery mode when you root with CF-Root.
Open your app drawer and see if you see CWM and SuperUser icons. If so, you are already rooted.
U have to tick "unknow sources" in settings to instal su and cwm manager

You have been quite......Did you manage to root your phone?
If not solved, try using the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit. Had exactly the same issue, rooting with the toolkit solved it. One tip for using it, after the Odin flash the phone reboots, just wait a bit and the toolkit will do it's magic.
Thanks all dear friends, I solved the prob by rebooting into recovery mode manually after the flashing operation ends
My device cannot be rooted. I've tried everything (apart from wiping or installing another rom). Oddly enough i have CWM recovery yet any app that requires root access says the rom is not rooted. What on earth do i have to do to get this thing rooted? I've tried cf-root 6.4 but that didn't do anything either. Rooted fine when on ics?
Cheers for any suggestions
With CF-Root, there can be one problem:
Chainfire said:
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.

Anyway, if you already have CWM Recovery installed just use it to install the ZIP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

You could try rooting with this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825272
Works fine for me without affecting the counter. It does not flash a custom recovery but then with titanium backup I don't need one really.

I tried out a new ROM today CaponMod4NSS_3.0. It worked OK but not perfect so I wanted to try LiquidSmooth. I did the normal flash but it just kept booting to Capon. So using Odin 1.85 I restored the Samsung 4.1.1 ROM then I tried to root again with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 but the phone just reboots into normal mode and does not install SUroot.
Any ideas how to correct this issue?
Thanks
Flash cf root again with auto reboot unchecked, when the flash has finished boot into recovery and this triggers installation, as stated in chainfires thread

Hello all,
About a week ago I ran into a problem with my phone which I thought was a software, which actually turned out to be a hardware issue with my sim card. Cutting a long story short, I flashed the official stock rom with Odin V1.85, and it passed and everything was back to default factory settings.
Having now got my issue fixed, I wanted to re-root my phone, in order to go back to the old ROM I was using [UltimaROM v12]. However after flashing various versions of CWM I cannot get my phone to root. I'm no stranger using Odin, I can usually install a new version of CWM in 30 seconds, but my phone is persistent on not rooting. I can't work out if maybe I've done something wrong, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I've tried running as Admin on W7, but it doesn't make a difference, I'd appreciate if one of you guys could help, as I used the search bar before, but it seems no-one has had this problem before.
Modem: XXEMC2
Kernel: Stock
ROM: Stock
Use TWRP or Philz recovery .

I've tried those too, they don't work either.

What exactly is the problem? Phone not recognised? Flash failing? If so at what point? More details please

The problem is the recoveries will look as if they've installed fine through Odin getting a "passed" flag, but when I go to recovery it's still the default Android recovery. Therefore no root.
What root method are you using?
Chainfire one I believe. You basically install CWM recovery, then install SuperSU from .zip in CWM.
So you have rooted but can't install recovery?
Just flash one with mobile Odin,
Nope, no root yet, because I can't flash SuperSU.zip 'cause I'm still on the default recovery.
Just use the old cf root then update the recovery or use framaroot and flash recovery with mobile Odin
cf-root roots the phone as well as changes the stock recovery to cwm recovery! is this the exact one you flashed? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

I think he is using cf auto root
I tried rooting my S3 using CF-Autoroot, using Odin. After the update CWM doesn't open saying the binaries are outdated and I have to manually reroot. SuperSU doesnt wont even after updating it from play store. Root explorer does not work. I ldo not want to flash a custom rom. Can someone help me find a fix? I am not so experienced when it comes to rooting. I checked various sites and found that the even the buggy MJ9 firmware has the same issue while rooting. Has it go to do with some change in Android 4.3? I flashed back to the stock rom and removed CF-Autoroot for now.
Actually wanted to post this in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273&page=59 . But I can't seem to post in the Development section with less than ten posts.

I would like to do this too, can I just confirm I have this correct?
1) Flash Philz recovery using odin
2) Reboot phone in to recovery
3) Flash cf-auto root file from recovery
4) reboot and go in to recovery and flash supersu 1.8 zip file
So two files are flashed using recovery after flashing philz recovery with odin?
Thanks, I fixed it by downloading CF Autoroot again, and wiping my phone in recovery mode to factory defaults, and flashing using odin. It did the tick. . It was mentioned in another thread, but didn't work when I tried. I think the factory reset fixed it. Though I am not sure.
