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

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.
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:

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 have a rooted galaxy s2, I was on a custom rom and decided to restore the stock one. then I flashed siya kernel because it was shutting down randomly. then I opened superSU app after it updated automatically on the market. it asked to update (and something about binary) choosing normal update or using cmw or twrp if oono a custom rom. I chose the cmw or twrp by accident and said that if the phone didn't reboot into rrecovery I have to do it manually
the phone **** down and when I try to turn it on it doesn't. the GALAXY S2 logo shows up then it turns black . I also tried to boot it into recovery and it didn't work either. so what's the problem and how can I fix it
Download mode work? Flash stock with odin
Or flash siyah in odin then boot to recovery and do a factory reset

odin can't recognize the phone
even though I installed the usb drivers and kies
I guess it's because I can't enable usb debugging since the phone doesn't turn on
any other idea?
Check out @Hopper8 thread for odin trouble
No need for usb debugging for an Odin flash. As andrewwright said, click the link in my signature and follow the troubleshooting steps.

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.

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.

so, simple, i can't find a goot tutorial on how to flash a recovery, i tried with odin 3.0.4 and i've flashed twpr 2.8.6.1, cwm 6.0.4.7 and another cwm version, after the flash with odin if i restart the phone i still have the original recovery

now let's see if i can flash the recovery with rom manager or odin mobile
done using rom manager, thanks anyway
When you were using Odin did it automatically restart? Or did you uncheck that option?

i'm not sure honestly, i think it automatically restart
Letting it auto restart means the stock recovery reinstalls. You need to let it finish without a reboot. Then do a battery pull and then try boot into recovery. Then it will stick.
