Hello guys,
Recently, i've wanted to make my device rooted. Than i apply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987 these instructions in order to do that. I unlock my device successfully. I also flash Clockworkmod recovery successfully. After that i want to install superuser app by using this recovery mod i got an error. Although, i got an error when the phone was rebooted, the superuser app was there. It is installed but has no functionality. I prompt shell command and after that hitting su but it says access denied. I try to do factory settings to get rid of superuser apk, obviously it doesn't work. The app still in there. I just deactivated now. I will try another recovery tool such as twrp or recover stock settings.
-First question, is there any solution in order to delete superuser apk compeletly and how?
-Second, is it possible to flash another recovery mod such as TWRP and by flashing another recovery mod the old recovery mod will be compeletly gone ?
-Third, is there any chance to get back stock recovery ?
-Fourth, this is for trying to understand the installing rom and recovering, what is the proper way to install rom on the phone? First should we create a backup point in order to get back old settings before installing new rom ?
Thanks.
1. No idea about that but i think you should check that you are flashing the correct file. try flashing again
2. yes it is very much possible to flash another recovery. I would recommend 4EXT. yes it will replace the older recovery
3. Run an RUU to get back to everything stock
4. the proper way is always to make a nandroid backup of your current rom. then wipe data/factory reset. wipe dalvik cache. install rom. reboot.
(if you are s-on you'll need to flash the boot.img after installing rom)

Hey guys,
I am doing this rom flash for a mate of mine.
I am trying to flash the tastyginger rom, but i am having some real difficulties while flashing the rom.
He has a dutch htc hero from hi. He has the latest rom according to the update utility thingy. it is the 2.1-update1 version. i believe i've read something about nand locks, and i think his phone has exactly that. the first step to flash a new rom is to root the phone. Rooting the phone works, gives no errors.
But when i try to flash the recovery image, it says it cant find the flash_image file.
it is should be located in the system folder on the phone but it isn't. i've tried to install it with android sdk, but the thing just is really acting weird. htc sync isn't working with the phone. it says there isn't a phone in the usb.
Now to make it clear, can somebody give me a clear tutorial on how to flash the thing correctly? I've done this before on my hd2. i've flashed the cyanogen 2.6 rom to my phone.
have you tried rom manager to flash rom its the easiest way i know. the way i rooted was with universal androot apk then installed rom manager clicked on flash clockworkmod recovery then went to install rom from sd card in rom manager scrolled down to the rom i wanted to flash choice it and pressed ok i then select backup existing rom and wipe data and cache and pressed ok then it will ask reboot and install and press ok and let it do its thing then wait untill it reboots and it should of installed rom which you wait to boot should have a custom splash screen that comes up and wait until your prompted to input details and such. hope this helps.
hey, thanks for the advice.
i let him try this method, but when he chose the htc hero gsm to install the cwm, the app refused to install it and gave this error message:An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands.
I forget to mention that the method you posted, that we already tried it.
But thanks for the effort!
pretty certain this is the tut. i used, i also had to use the gold card method -.-;

rom manager has been down lately everyone has had trouble flashing clockwork recovery, but ra recovery second from bottom is a secondary choice however other features of rom manager might not work if you use this you will have to boot into recovery manually.you also need super user to use this as well.
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
Use this apk, i have always used this method!
Download clockwork or ra recovery rename it to recovery.img and copy to sdcard
Backup recovery with flashrec
then type sdcard/recovery.img
flash recovery and done!
I've done the recovery succesfully at the guys phone. It works bloody well. Thanks dudes! You can lock it up if you want to.

hey guys, so i was playing with titanium backup and i accidentally deleted google talk, which interfered with the market, and i cant download anything from there anymore
i am running on stock 2.1 rom, but it is androoted
i tried pushing the googletalk.apk into system/apps but it wouldnt let me, it said the partition is read-only
can someone please tell me how to reinstall google talk back?
oh and apparently i dont have a recovery image because i flashed clockwork and amonra with rom manager, but now i cant get rom manager back on through the market
and i do have a nandroid backup of when my phone was normal, but i cant flash cuz i dont have a recovery image
what should i do now?
thanks a lot
First things first... the recovery needs to be fixed.
Dl fresh copy of chosen recovery put in proper place
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img
then get into recovery and reflash the rom you have. Don't wipe but clear dalvik/cache just reflash as long as its the same exact rom you had before.
im running the hero on fastboot usb, and running fastboot from cmd from the folder its in, and when i type erase recovery it says "erasing 'recovery'...FAILED remote: not allow
did you try any other executables -- we need to confirm you have a good setup. Can you do
fastboot reboot bootloader
and if it reboots when it comes back
fastboot erase recovery
if it erases - great - if not -- keep going (pick amon-ra if you were using cwm before just for this)
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and if it flashes... great -- if not -- Plan B
Boot into the ROM and try to reflash Clockworkmod with the ROM Manager. If that fails -- then when in the ROM - run fix_permissions and just try to get it in working order. Be careful though -
if that still fails Do you happen to have a recent nandroid? Boot all four partitions in - recovery system boot and datauser and that will give you another shot at recovery.
Thirdly why dont you just extract the same gapps file that you last flashed... and just restore it piece by piece. If you only dissed Gtalk then put it back where it needs to be and reboot. Thats yet another way.
oh nvm i fixed it, installed rom manager and a few other apks through adb install, and through terminal emulator flashed clockwork, then flashed stock ROM
thanks for all your help!
Deleted Android Market with Titanium Backup.
I accidentally deleted Android Market app from my rooted Samsung Galaxy Pro using the Titanium Backup! I need it back. Any suggestions?
I tried downloading an apk file from somewhere, it installed but force closes every time I try to update something or download a new app. Says something like "com.android.vendor" has stopped.
Yes, I'm a noob and stupid coz I didn't watch what I was deleting.
I would like some help.
Hello,
I have just successfully rooted my S3 using "Heimdall Frontend" following the tutorial here:
However I found initially when leaving "No Reboot" unchecked I was unable to boot into CWM until I checked no Reboot then once the flash was complete I manually went into CWM by holding the recovery keys.
I then installed the SuperSu zip file on my SD card and rebooted my phone into it's newly rooted state.
HOWEVER.. I went to boot my S3 into CWM Recovery to flash a custom ROM and I'm only able to boot into the standard android recovery.. It says on the tutorial that versions 4.1.2+ need to tick "No reboot" otherwise the newer firmware simply wipes over CWM recovery every reboot..
I was under the impression that CWM was there as a safety net in case my phone ever played up and needed to be unrooted?
read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911726
UPDATE: After using ROM Manager to boot into CWM to create a backup, it gave the option to "Fix reflashing to original recovery after reboot"
Is it a good idea to have CWM permanently flashed as my recovery? How would I revert back to the stock recovery should I want to unroot the device?
Thanks

You need to read the faqs and guides its all posted and has been asked multiple times .
So I just successfully installed CM13 on my i9300. Everything works fine, but I just found out I lost root rights.
I went and downloaded the Super SU app from the PlayStore, launched it and that gave an error that there's no SU binary installed and I need to manually root again.
So I downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip, put it on the sdcard, rebooted into CWM Recovery, installed the zip and booted back into the system (when prompted to fix boot I selected no as recommended), but now I STILL HAVE NO ROOT RIGHTS and the Super SU app still gives the same error.
Is there a specific SuperSU.zip I should be installing in recovery to make it work?
Or is something wrong with the recovery and do I need to flash that through Odin? (I don't think this is the case though, as flashing CM13 and gapps went completely fine)
Thanks for any isnight and tips

In Developer Options I have set Root Access to Apps and ADB it didn't give any error, but doesn't seem to be doing anything either... In file manager I can't reach root, Root Checker app fails, Super SU gives than binary error, and another app that requires Root Access says I don't have it as well..

Flash rom again and dont flash SuperSu its better now without using SuperSU
I got the same problem. I tried to root with odin again but it didnt work...
Flash cm13, wipe data and cache and flash cm13 again. Cm13 should be pre rooted.

Hi Guys, I have the same problem too after CM13. Unfortunately rooting again with ODIN flashed stock recovery back and am stuck on CM13 now with no root and stock recovery. Can someone help please? Below is the detailed description of what happened.
----------------------------
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
same here after rooting once cm13 by developer option, for some reason i had to use hide my root app, now unable to get root back
Its a problem with the s3, it forgets root. The most reliable is chainfire and sticking with a stock rom.
You must:
Wipe to factory,
flash an original rom via odin,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory again,
Flash original rom again,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory,
Allow the phone to boot.
You must flash at least twice and reset to factory at least twice, even tho I sad it thrice, to kill all remnants of the old rooted rom.
Then you can flash chainfire via odin and go from there.

Hi
I am running a CM13 Rom at the moment but want to go back to stock, I need to root it to restore apps via Titanium Backup.
As I already have TWRP installed can I just flash the stock rom via twrp then install SuperSU? or do I need to go back to stock and then create a custom image in the kitchen

If you have twrp, then flash the rom with it. Then supersu and allow modification to system partition. To keep twrp for future, open file manager in twrp and browse to system. Delete the file "recovery-from-boot.bak", after this your twrp will not be replaced with stock.
The only reason you need to cook custom boot image is to make sure that your twrp is not replaced with stock and at the same time without losing ota due to system modification.
WHen I swipe to install supersu it just reboots immediately and does not install it....

Unlock your bootloader, flash twrp again. In mount, mount system and remove the "mount system as read only" check. then flash supersu.
" allow modification to system partition " how can i do this ?
if i install super su after restart will made problem ?
