hello. i have a problem regarding my galaxy i9300. before this, i already rooted my device but i unroot it again and install stock rom because
i think it is more stable. but now, i want to play heavy game and need to use chainfire3D and i want to root again.
my problem is, i follow all the step to root using cf-root and odin. the odin said it pass. but when my device reboot, i cant find
superuser and there is no CWM. then i try to check my device at about phone, it said already MODIFIED. but when i tried to instal any app that
need root, it cant be open because it says it is not root yet.
help.. i just dont know how to fix this. if i want to flash stock rom, the binary counter must be 0, and need to instal triangleaway but also need root access.
sorry for my bad english.
Same problem
I have also found that I have the same problem. Following a successful root and install of CWM prior to installing the OTA XXDLI8 jelly bean firmware I can now no longer root or install CWM, despite odin reporting a 'pass'. I have tried several versions of CF-Root-SG3 - versions 6.0 and 6.4 without success. I cannot find any other reports of this problem. What am I missing? The phone otherwise works perfectly.

Hi
I guess you have to do it manually. All you have to do is to follow these steps here: http://mobilecon.info/install-clockworkmod-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
and you should have CWM working on your recovery
I hope this helps! cheers!
i already do this but still nothing change. but actualy this problem already solved. this problem occur maybe because i update the stock rom .maybe they put something inside the update file so that we cant flash a cf-root file.
i just flash the stock rom back although the binary counter is not 0. then a lot of thing will be unstable (maybe because of the update). then after flash stock rom via odin, i flash the cf-root. then i got all the SU and CWM. now i can flash all the custom rom.
by the way, thanks..

try reinstall a stock rom, check if everythings is fine then reinstall CM9
Thnx for the quick response
I think the problem isn't cm9, when I was trying to install the from I couldn't boot to the cwm recovery because I forgot to root my device. Then I rooted my s3 with cf something root kit and then my signals were gone. I have the international version so my phone should be factory unlocked so I thought I should install cm anyway cuz that might solve the problem. But it didn't. I really like cyanogenmod and don't want to revert back to crappy touchwizz . The problem was there before installing cm9 but after rooting my phone.
Please any help. I really need to use my phone.
Thnx

You should reinstall everything from the scratch mate, so revert your device at stock (using odin), then flash the correct [email protected] kernel and finally if everything is working flash cm9.
Edit: if your device is locked i think you can unlock it easily, search in the forum you can find out everything you need for this.

Download original firmware for your phone from sammobiles and flash it using odin. If is good then root it again and flash cm9.

Okay,
I have downloaded my firmware file but i noticed that i need three tar files for the flashing precess through ODIN but i downloaded only 1 file *.tar.md5
no clue now what to do
Update: I tried to extract the file using splitfus but it didnt work.
Update 2: Okay now I have Installed my stock firmware and it seems to be working now.. But should I risk installing the CM9 again ?

- launch Odin
- load that ONE FILE on PDA section
- put your phone in download mode (volume down+home+power)
- connect the phone to computer, wait for drivers to be installed and ODIN to find your phone (you will see a message in Odin)
- click start
- don't touch the phone until it's done. It will boot alone
Also, it might be a good idea to wipe data / reset to factory before and after flash.
You could find all this info with google ....
On the topic, I have a similar issue. My phone was factory unlocked , and got locked after flashing latest stock firmware. Downgrading didn't solved anything. I am searching the forums right now, but it seems like all fixes are dated.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it will be appreciated.
Thx
Hey rsndetre,
Thnx for the post, but sorry I already did that and it worked ..
Here are the method I used to get back my device back to normal and got my sim card working and again reinstalled cm9
1- Downloaded Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
2- Flashed Stock Boot Image
3- Flashed Stock Recovery Mode
4- Downloaded stock firmware from http://fus.nanzen.se/
5- Flashed stock firmware using Odin (your method above)
6- Rooted the device again (using odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4)
7- Downloaded and placed cm9 and google apps package in SDCARD
8- Installed Rom Manager from Play Store.
9- Downloaded and Installed ClockWorkMod from rom manager and booted to recovery mode using RomManager
10- Then factory resetted, formatted the cache and installed the CM9 and GAPPS V11
Then my phone was good to go.
My phone is up and running, thanks rsndetre, Arsaw and TecQuality for your replies. I appreciate your time
Thanks

Hello friends, I am newbie to rooting...
I am from India .. I have SGS2. Recently I upgraded official firmware from GB to ICS 4.0.3 through kies. I want to root it.
I saw the tutorials given in this forum. I seems to be really easy. I followed all, but cant get rooted.
Kernal Version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected]#3
I downloaded Odin3-v1.83 and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar and followed the steps.
After rebooting, I got two icons CWM and superuser.. If I open superuser, it says "No apps in list"
I installed Root checker it also says "Sorry! THis device does not have proper root access"
I don't understand where I went wrong?.. Do I need to do something else to get properly rooted?.
I have NOVA3 game installed and I reached to the end of "Hell Gate" I want to take game backup through Titanium backup..
Please help me..
Thanks
~prashanth
you could try downloading siyah kernal 4.1.5 from gokhanmoral and flash that either in cwm or via odin, i reccommend this also before flash delete supersu and reinstall when you flash kernal also reccommend a odin upgrade i like v1.85 it has a easy ui.
siyah kernals are prerooted too and also come with updated recovery boot also you wont get yellow triangle causing a binary count.
before i forget then reinstall supersu open it to update binary script n all should be hunkydory.
also to backup data download rootexplorer and find out where the gamesave data is usually android/data i think and manually copy if you need to. but i doubt it.
and happy flashing custom roms.
Flash root super su.zip via cwm and u will be rooted bro

Thanks Paulius and linuxnubee for your suggestion.
I got one more doubt now.. If I hard reset after rooting, can I get original firmware back? and do I need to root again?.
You mean go back to GingerBread?
You will have to download a stock GingerBread ROM and flash it. And no, once you flash it you will not be rooted, as stock as it gets.
A hard reset will erase all data in your device.
Thanks for reply..
Not to Gingerbread, Back to ICS 4.0.3 stock firmware.. Since I rooted stock firmware, if I just hard reset now, can I get stock firmware (without yellow triangle) ? or do I need to download stock firmware and flash again so that I can use kies for upgrading firmware in future?.
deleted wrong thread answered
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.

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

Hi.
First of all, I want to thank all the users of this forum, I found many helpful things and you're amazing.
Second, my english is a little bad, so I apologize for any mistake.
Now, the problem:
I have a rooted Grand Quattro that is stuck at the logo screen (the one that shows name and model of device). I can't boot to recovery mode, only to download mode. How can I make the phone start again? I have a backup of ROM that I've made with CWM, but I can't access CWM to restore, and can't reflash CWM (device says "signature verification failed" after every attempt with Odin 3.07).
I need help, I've searched through these foruns and another places, but couldn't find a suitable answer.
Thanks for attention
Flash Fresh ROM again via odin
BTW which rooting method did you use? There are better and easy methods. Use Kingo App to root the phone.
Try flashing the stock rom again via odin while in download mode ofcourse. Because you are able to do to download mode. Right?
Then download kingo app and root your phone. Don't use cwm method unless you want to flash any other script or custom rom in your phone.
Also uninstall USB drivers and install it again.
Let me know if some new problem arises. :fingers-crossed:
Cheers :good:
Thanks for response.
I flashed the stock rom and it worked again (and I didn't lost programs and personal files )
I opened this thread because I couldn't download the stock rom from Terafile, but I managed to download and install after some time.
About your question: I rooted with Kingo app, but I was trying to install CWM, and I read in a random place that I need to chroot the install-recovery.sh. I think this messed with the phone.
Well, I recovered the device and rooted again, so thanks for helping

Where did you get the stock rom? And flash it with odin?
Download it on http://sammobile.com and flash it with Odin.

Hi
I reccently bought i9300 ( hongkong ) and it came with 4.3, i tried rooting it with CF-Root, The process itself completes with no problem but when i open SuperSu, It asks to update binaries but when i do it fails.
All of the fellow xda helpers have suggested to install CWM and than flash Update SuperSU ***.zip from chainfire, I did that as well ( i flashed the latest zip) But the problem is there.
Can anybody help me with that?
The CF-ROOT and flashable supersu i have flashed are:
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.10
CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Now as i am not rooted so i can't backup the EFS (i don't want to take the risk of loosing my IMEI) and flash stock 4.1.2.
-----------------------------
Here are the details of my phone:
Model no: i9300
Android version: 4.3
Baseband: I9300XXUGNA8
Kernel: 3.0.31-i902166 [email protected]#1
Build no: JSS15J.I9300ZSUBNB1

i already did a backup through cwm, Is it good enough ? as i have read in the forum that if you dont have efs backup and you flash stock through odin, you may end up with lost imei; That's the boat i don't wana be on ... so i await your response on that.
Also can you guide me or give me a link to PIT and Repartition stuff, as i am new to samsung, i moved from htc.
After flashing stock, philz, do i need to flash cf-root through odin or update-supersu will do the rooting trick?

You should only use pit files as a last resort! Use only if your phone is not booting or major problems like that and definitely not because you can't root!
If you flash latest PhilZ there is a option in the settings to fix supersu try that way first or try a different version of su from playstore.

using odin i have installed latest PhilZ recovery, although the superSu is having the similar problem but i was able to find " backup efs" underr custom backup, i think internally my phone is already rooted, as custom recovery went on smooth. Will that efs recovery be enough to bring my phone IMEI back? Can you suggest what else should i backup ?

If done properly then yes also I would also suggest making another backup with PhilZ recovery there is a option in settings to do that ( you can never have too many backups) also if you want you can do a full nandroid backup which will restore your phone to how it was before you flashed anything.(but remember nandroid won't backup efs you have to do that separately)
For any fellow xdaz who are seeking help in the same case as mine, Let me update on what i did and what went wrong (although i am still not upto the rooting part)
so as i was on 4.3 ( I9300XXUGNA8)- The rom won't let me root, whatever i did, and i am talking about clearing cache, dalvik, cf-root, superSU update, clearing all superSU app and reinstalling via market and odin.
Than i thought i would ditch the rom and maybe downgrade ( for me that was the wrong idea )
along the way ( as suggested by " tallman43 " i did install PHILZ and did custom backup of efs and i made around 4-5 backups, Big thanks for the awesome suggestion ....i suggest you do the same, as trust me i later found out that 1-2 backups have corrupted files ( i don't know why).
i also downloaded neat rom and in that Aroma installer (rom installer) there was an option for efs backup as well, so i did that and installed that rom. Rom installed without any problem, root was also working fine, i personally love the rom but i have to give my phone to someone and i was hoping for total stock whereas in neat rom there are tags here and there, i would love to have em but as i said earlier...
i downloaded Stock 4.1.2 (I9300OZSEMK2) -- flashed it, flashed went fine but now i got 0000 as my imei, i tried restoring through philz but nothing happened
i restored previously made backup of my old 4.3 but now the imei was displaying " NULL "
finally i stopped there and searched the forums and read through many similar problems, i downloaded 4.3 (I9300XXUGNA8) from sam mobile , flashed it and voila the imei and network is back.
I am not sure what fixed the imei and why was it giving problems on 4.1.2 but i am happy with the results.
I will update for the rooting part and that would be my next step.

I came across this thread as I am facing the same problem with rooting.
I was on a rooted i9300 and did an upgrade to 4.3 via Kies.
Now when I run through the rooting process using CF method, Odin posted success.
I see inside the console (while flashing cf auto root) that SU binaries are being installed and all. But once the phone reboots, root checker reports phone is not rooted.
I tried a couple of other ways and the closest I got was to see TWRP recovery console once, but once the phone reboots, and I try to go back into recovery - it is still Samsung's recovery console.
Actually all I want is to flash a custom ROM because the phone has been running ridiculously slow. Can I flash it through Odin (under AP) or I have to use a custom recovery like clockwork or TWRP.

If you want only to flash a custom rom then you do not need to root custom roms come already rooted (alot of people make this mistake )..Just flash a custom recovery with Odin then follow the procedure in the stickies to flash a custom rom.
