Ok sorry, so I accepted an OTA update and I of course lost root access. I thought I could go back and attempt to re-root the same way with odin, by flashing clockworkmod.TAR, but it did not work. I even tried a factory reset and attempted re-rooting this same way; and it still wont work. When flashing CWM, it installs successfully, but still wont give me root access. SU, and CWM are still on the phone after a factory reset. How do I get re-rooted access, and can I do it with CWM file, and SU still on the phone?

You need to reroot with CF Root as you probably did originally.
This is done through ODIN.
It sounds like you're just reflashing the CWM recovery

Hi Guys, first time flashing and just successfully done so with SpeedMod kernel. Checked the kernel version and yup it's there.
One problem though, I tried installing Titanium Back up but it says my phone is not properly rooted. So I downloaded Root Checker and it says that my phone is indeed not properly rooted. What happened? I thought SpeedMod automatically installs root?
Hope (and Im sure) you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!

Installing speedmod kernal won't give you root access.. 1st you have to root your phone.. Search for it.. I will tell one method.. Flash an insecure kernel.. Then use 's2 root ' to root your phone.. There are many other methods..
Thank me if I helped

I see. I thought it was gonna give me root straight away. I posted a topic here about that and the one who replied told me to just flash SpeedMod straight away.
So what I have to do is flash an insecure kernel, then flash SpeedMod again?

Quoted from the speedmod changelog:

- Automatically installs root (su)
- CWM recovery

perhaps you need to update superuser or download SU Update Fixer
What are you guys on about, speedomod and most if not all custom kernels do indeed root you phone. Try to flash it again and plz use odin, not recovery as some assume.

Speedmod automatically roots your phone....
I expect superuser wasn't updated to the latest version,
Did titanium give an option such as 'yes, do it'?
If so, it's because your superuser app was not updated to latest version, check it on the android market.
I've flashed SpeedMod hundreds of times, it's never once failed to root.

I flashed it using Odin. Titanium didn;t give me that option either. I guess Ill just check the market for the latest Superuser then. Ill get back to you guys once I get back home, still here at work.
Thanks for the replies!
Ok so I downloaded the latest SU. Tried updating from within the app. So i got to the black screen with the green fonts, it says i run the legacy version. Then when it gets to the gaining root access.... Part, it always says fail. I tried dling the Su updater but all its says is ok.

My suggestion as you are going around in baffling circles .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Start over with your custom rom root whatever .
Thanks for the tip Jjegan but I can't afford to lose all my apps in the process as I still can't use Titanium Backup. I've already updated to Superuser v3.0.7 but Root Checker still says I do not have proper root access.
I was browsing the OneClick Root thread and I saw someone there with the same problem (Superuser installed but can't use apps that require root access) but was not answered (I went from page 1-39). Spekaing of OneClick Root, would it work? It says it installs Superuser, su and Busybox.
I hope someone can help me with this.
**Also, would reflashing the stock kernel then flashing SpeedMod again solve the problem?
Might sound obvious but anyway: go into su, scroll over to the log and check that su hasn't been inadvertently blocked.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
No use. My log is empty plus I set the automatic response to Allow. Still nothing.
Should I just reflash the original kernel, clear all data then reflash Speedmod?
I'm running stock firmware btw.
I ran S2 Root and it says my device already has PERM ROOT. I'm getting confused...
Try fixing permissions, if that doesn't work try flashing a CF kernel or the original one. If all else fails you might have to bite the bullet and follow the advice above and start with a clean slate.

Ok I got it. XXKL1 can't get root access (I bought the phone from someone so I didn't know this before). I went ahead and flashed CheckRom v6 and everything worked! Superuser, root, etc.. everything! Good thing I kept on reading. Anyways, thanks for the replies guys!
Speedmod will make you lose root. Root again and flash a kernel like redpill or siyah.

I picked up my galaxy today and i'm trying to root it. I followed the instructions and pass with odin but when i try to reboot into recovery it does not reboot into clockwork recovery only into Android system recovery. I've tried atleast 10 times with same results. Any help greatly appreciated
Depending on what kernel you flash, it does not include the recovery which is located in a different partition.
So you might have to install (flash) it seperatly.
If you want an all-in-one bundle, e.g. the Siyah kernel would be good.
Don't i need to be rooted first? i PASS the odin but when i try reboot into recovery so i can install the cwm superuser file it doesn't boot into clockwork recovery

Hmmm and youve definately followed the procedure to the letter? Incl not unzipping the downloads too much you only need the tar files.
If SU and cwm manager and rooting is succeeding then maybe just flash the cwm version from here

I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy S3. Using Odin I can successfully flash Clockworkmod but I am unsuccessful at getting into Clockwork recovery. I've tried having autoreboot checked, autoreboot unchecked, F. reset time checked, and F. reset time unchecked. Any ideas on how to root?
Also this might be irrelevant but after turning on my gs3 for the first time it wanted me to update my phone, so I did. Could this update prevent the root?

(UPDATE) Ok i exchanged my phone at sprint and this time i didn't install the samsung update and it rooted with no problems.
IM also having the same problem, I got my phone yesterday (sunday) and after turning on it pushed the sprint lf9 OTA update so i did. I tried to root followed the exact procedure but after passing odin it does not enter to clockwork rec. Does the OTA LF9 update re-write clockword rec??? Is there a other way to root the GS3 ??? i have the sprint version. Im kinda new with these types of procedures.
Thanks!

Yes it's the update it frustrated the hell outta me that's why i got mine exchange and didn't install the update with the new phone, after that i rooted fine. until you find a way to get it exchange you'll be frustrated trying to root. Try getting it exchanged

Hi,
I have recently installed android rev hd 40 on my s3 I was going to back it up using Rom Manager before trying another rom. It failed to back up data and then said something about superuser access. I tried to reboot. It got to lock screen twice and crashed back to reboot. then stuck on samsung boot screen.
I used odin to re-root(i think) and phone started ok. but when i tried to update binary? as requested it failed. I tried to install chainfire from market and it said there was not super user installed and that this was a problem! that I should come to forums for advice.
I then tried to restore from rom manager.......rom manager not working due to no super user access.....I think. It cannot see any restore files.
Not sure how I use odin for anything other than cf auto root.
can anyone help me reinstall cmw and get super user access again???
thanks
First of all- see if you got app called 'SuperUser' installed in your app drawer (which is different from chainfire's SuperSU app you tried to install).
If the answer is yes- see if in-app root access permissions are disabled. If the answer is no and you have access to CWM, i suggest flashing SuperSU with CWM from this link (It should replace your current root manager): http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip
If the flashing failed because it says that you dont have rooted device- try to reflash CF-Auto root with odin: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
If you dont have acess to CWM or want to install a newer recovery- I recommend Philz touch: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300
(It can be installed with Odin (.tar file) in the same way as CF-AutoRoot, or in CWM mode with the .zip file)
Good luck
Thanks for the help.
I have flashed the philz recovery as suggested. Worked a treat. The only issue is that I have lost all my previous back ups.
Is it still possible for me to to unroot and clear rom counter if I needed to, if there was a warranty claim fault on the phone without access to the original back up?
Thanks again.

Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.

This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.

If you are on NG6, you'll need to downgrade back to NC5 using Surge's Odin Tars. Once back on NC5, you can use Towelroot again. Do yourself a favor at that point and uninstall the SDM application so that your phone no longer trys to update itself automatically.

Did you use the No-wipe or the Full-wipe? If you used the No-wipe then that may be the problem. You may need to use the full wipe to make it work.
