Hi,
I have tried rooting my SGS3 after updating to 4.1.2.
I am flashing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 via ODIN. It says everything has completing successfully and the square turns green....no errors etc.
When i got to the menu, SuperSU is not present. Apps are not able to get root permissions. CWM is installed however.
Has anyone experience this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
try cf-autoroot cos i believe the cf-root is not supported anymore.

It can take multiple attempts for the root to kick in. If you don't see the CF-Root script kick in after using ODIN you need to try again.
The other option is to use the Exynos 4 root exploit APK.
It works for me ive done it 3 times. on 4.1.2 xxelkc
dont try exynos exploit or whatever may break your camera
CF Root 6.4 works .

Hey,so i had rooted my sgs2 4.0.3 build XWLP7 via Cf root 5.4 but there's NO BUSY BOX,and all tha apps say i have NO ROOT ACCESS.
What i did was i went to download mode,started odin,put in the cf root file as pda and started it.Everything happened fine. Then i started super one click v 2.3.3 and when i pressed root,it said IT APPEARS YOUR PHONE IS ALREADY ROOTED. i continued anyways and it finished it. then the phone asked me for superuser permission and i granted it. I also flashed the Resurrection remix 2.3.5 and it worked fine. The problem is,none of the root apps work,no titanium backup,no my backup pro.then i got some root checker apps from the market and they all said I HAVE NO ROOT ACCESS and BUSYBOX is not installed. i tried to install busybox via a different route but it also said No Root. Despite all this i am able to use the CWM mode,recovery mode,and the yellow trianglel appears on booting.
Can anyone please tell me where i went wrong,and now what can i do to correct it ?
Thakns in advance
Flash the CFRoot kernel again in the first instance. If that doesn't work, maybe try flashing the other LP7 CFRoot kernel (there's 2 in the thread).
Thanks !

I did try flashing it again via cf root,that didnt work. Finally i put a file which i got from some post here,that installs both superuser and busy bix,and installed it through recovery.And that Worked ! im so glad my phone is finally, and Safely rooted now
Next time
Next time don't use superoneclick. CF Root should work just fine.
Had my S3 for a couple of months and had it rooted within the day I purchased it, ICS 4.0.4 using the ODIN CF-Root 6.4.
As it has been mentioned several times in the last few days the UK users have had a large update (mine was 79meg) to remove certain features.
Many people complained that the OTA update failed them and had to use Kies to do it however my OTA installed and worked perfectly however I lost root on my device, no biggy though I, I simply fired up ODIN and redid the root precedure..
Everything went fine except I no long have root, the 'about' on the phone lists me as 'modified' and I downloaded the updates for SuperSU but nothing seems to work anymore, no root required programmes ask super SU for root and its list is clear.
I have tried to uninstall the root required programmes (setCPU, titanium etc) but they instist I dont have root.
The only clue I can find is that CWM now errors telling me that the kernal is different and I need at least CF-ROOT 5.0 or better (when I am using 6.4)
Has anyone else come accross this problem, or is there a better root work around out there, do i need to put a different kernal version on the phone first?
Im not a total root newbie (long live the advent vega) but this one seems beyond me.
Have you tried using mskips Galaxy S3 Toolkit from the development section?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I would redownload CFRoot from Chainfires thread and install .

Already downloaded a slughtly different version number and retried to no avail.
Will try a re root later to see if that sticks if not will try the other method...
Damn you work getting in the way.
I downloaded the full ROM from Sammobile, flashed using Mobile Odin and reapplied 6.4 with no problems.
Has not increased the counter, all official and Normal in settings.
Sent from the App that Time Forgot.
I'm having issues after updating to latest Stock Vodafone Australia Firmware PDA:I9300TDUBLH1 CSC:I9300TVAUBLH1.
I cannot re-root SGS3 using CF Root 6.4. It doesn't install the SU binaries nor CWM, but on Odin it shows success patching the CF root 6.4 tar file.
My flash count goes up by 1, seen from download mode screen, but do not see any warning symbol at boot.
No CWM or Superuser installed. All rooted programs complain cannot access root.
Need some help here. Anyone else got their's working? No mention of anything on XDA that it doesn't work with LH1.
I used to have I9300TDUBLF2, and it works perfectly fine before flashing to the latest I9300TDUBLH1 yesterday. Some pointers please.
Hey, this might be pointing out the obvious, like restarting the computer. But are you sure you unzipped the ZIP to a TAR file, or put the TAR file in some other place other than the PDA section in ODIN, or ticked re-partition. But probably not seeings most of those would brick your phone. I got the update to the same firmare and rooting worked perfectly, if not better.
Possibly, you may have to wait till 4.1.1 comes out (said to be tomorrow 29th August), install it, and root when the com has discovered how to
Another chance could be the version of Odin you are running
Hi!
Just try again.
Had to install a couple of times before it worked.
The problem is also explained in the CF root thread.
I am on vodafone AUS as well and I am having the same problem with multiple attempts using CF-Root. I am wondering the the S3 toolkit v5 will work instead?
Thanks

Hello, I am a complete noob with android software and these forum websites.
I bought a the standard Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 a few months ago, rooted it but since then I still have no root access. This is the first time I've signed up for any website to ask for help, because I cant find any solution to fixing it.
I followed a simple guide, which instructed to use odin, and the Siyah kernal. It said the root was successful and superuser + CWM was installed.
On the Superuser Binary Updater, its says the latest version is 3.1.1 but I only have 3.0.3.2. When I try update, it says "Gaining root access... fail!"
The 'Root Checker Basic' app tells me "This device does not have proper root access"
I was suggested to use OneClickRoot. I try it, and it tells me my device is already rooted.
I am using:
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9100XXLS8
Kernal version 3.0.31 siyah-s2-v6.0b5
Please help me gain root access without wiping the data off my phone. I dont want to modify the way the system looks or works, all I want is root access. Sorry if this posted in the wrong place, this site is confusing for me
Flash Siyah again (through CWRecovery if the flash was successful enough to install it, if not through Odin again).

I've tried doing it again through Odin and still no change. Is it possible that I'm doing it wrong? After many searches I see there's multiple ways of rooting the device..
Can you please link me to correct instructions for using Odin? Just to be sure I'm doing it right
Siyah tar file in PDA section of Odin, click start. I don't know why people think this sort of thing is complicated when it's really very simple.
I previously ran rooted 4.1.2 with Siyah Kernel on my i9300. I flashed 4.3 through Odin (after resetting flash counter and making the phone brand new) and have discovered I can remedy many of the problems with a different kernel. Simple enough, I thought.
I have tried four times to root my S3 with the same CF-Auto root as I used before and two others I downloaded. The red pirate Android man appears with all the usual text about installing superSU and such, then my phone reboots and should have root access, no?
Unfortunately, I can never achieve root. Root Checker says I don't and superSu (which doesn't install during the flash) says it can't alter the binary. Any suggestions as to how I can achieve root without reverting to 4.1.2?
Cheers.
