I've followed all the steps on the foru as to how to root my Tab (7510) but haven't gained root access. First, let me say that I've had my Galaxy Nexus phone rooted for more than 6 months so I'm not a noob to rooting.
I've successfully installed TWRP v2.2.0 recovery. Then, in TWRP I installed Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip. It successfully installed.
Once I reboot I see SuperUser and it will run. However, when I run Titanium Backup the app informs me that it can't obtain root access. I've also installed and run Root Checker Basic and it also says I don't have Root access.
Could it be that the zip file I installed was for Honeycomb? If so, where is the link to SuperUser for ICS?
Thanks for your help.
I have same problem. All seems to go well with Superuser app etc but root access fails.

sapper,
I solved it. As I suspected, I was using the Honeycomb version of superuser which wouldn't root ICS. I found the ICS superuser here. I installed it via TWRP and was granted super user access. Good luck.
Brilliant - fixed it for me too.
Thanks so much
TWRP help
Where did you guys find the TWRP 2.2.0 that works with the P7510? I can't find anything to use for recovery mode on mine. I go the the TWRP site and I can only get the the 2.3 page and they only support the Tab7.7, not the 10

I have a Galaxy Ace...which came with Android 2.2
My partner rooted it and everything was fine. At the same time he upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.3
But a couple of weeks ago he upgraded it to Gingerbread 2.3.6....and now it says it is root...but it doesn't have access to the root only apps....and it doesn't show the Superuser app that is needed.
Somehow it seems to be in some sort of limbo between unrooted and rooted.
I am well confused. Can anyone out there help please.
It looks like that the latest GB ROM used for the upgrade does not have the root.
You can add root to it. Before you do that, check by using terminal app with su command if the phone is rooted or not.

Thank you....it sounds a bit technical.
I will get my partner to read it in a while.
Although it sounded like I KNOW what I am on about...I am, in fact, a complete beginner when it comes to Android.
Updating from kies or from odin will make your phone unroot again. U need to reroot.

Root issue on Ace...
Hello all! I am Julado's partner. I had better explain what this is about in more detail here...
I took the original OS (Froyo) and updated it to Gingerbread (2.3.3) via Kies, I then used SOC to root it using ChainFire method - then installed and performed a TB back up. ALL Good - a few weeks later - I flashed an update using Odin to get 2.3.6 and an updated version of CF's kernel. At THAT point, CWM recovery had root access - but fully booted GingerBread had no SU app or returned root status via test command (both using a script and terminal). Sys info in settings shows 2.3.6 and ROOTED kernel image, but NO ROOT ACCESS is there in GB ~ Just in CWM Recovery.
I have re-flashed the CF kernel a few times and STILL have the same situation. I cannot understand why CWM has ROOT access but FULL 2.3.6 system doesn't.
Can anyone offer my any help please? Or possibly point out the blindingly obvious if I have missed what's clearly staring me in the face! Thanks.
So u already flashed ketut's cfroot kernel and still doesn't have root access in the rom? Thats weird.
Btw kernel name in system settings even if it said root doesnt mean your rooted. thats the build host of the kernel compiler.

When you are in GB, you can't root your ace via SOC. It will look success, but actually it's not. You have to root it using update.zip and flash via recovery. Just find it by googling.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I understand that the settings name is from build compiler. I have tested for root access with terminal and various apps (even tried downloading & installing SU app myself!!) - but don't understand why CWM DOES have root - but full OS doesn't!
I am truly baffled ATM!

I did get FULL root access after using SOC to root (chainfire method) GB - I rooted 2.3.3 with SOC, NO PROBLEMS! - THEN made TB (needs root) successfully. It was only after using Odin to flash 2.3.6 that SOC root resulted in the current quasi-rooted state.
I have tried re-flashing CF kernel both using Odin AND via CWM (update.zip) method - Neither worked = STILL BAFFLED???!
Hi, i am a complete noob.
I recently rooted my phone without flashing a new kernel using the cwm recovery mod busybox installer on this site. However, since then i have updated my firmware over kies but not a full update, just a small one. Now although root checker says i have root, my root apps can't gain root access. Would really appreciate any help oli could get on this matter.
Running XWLPI on my phone. Any more info needed i can provide but dont know what is required.

EDIT: The link in the first reply worked, I used the unroot all file to clear everything and then the signed superuser only file to root. worked like a charm

I couldnt find a solid answer, so i was looking for help. I unlocked my phone and installed TWRP. I then flashed the SuperSU and BusyBox .zip file via recovery. But when i open the SU app i get prompted to update binaries and it will crash if i attempt to do so.
I have not flashed the insecure kernel, but I was almost certain that this was not need to gain root access.
Can i get confirmation? Maybe some help too :laugh:

I have this exact same issue and I AM running the insecure kernel so I don't think it is an issue of the kernel. I found that using the SuperUser app rather than SuperSU works to alleviate this problem, but now I can't figure out how to uninstall the SuperSU app. If anybody can help me with this let me know
SuperSU wont work you have to use superuser for now..i had the same mistake but when i removed everything and redid it with superuser it been working fine since
Ok, well here's an update. I installed SuperUser via the Play Store, and updated the binaries. Afterwards I reboot and uninstalled the new SuperUser app and. tested SuperSU again. It prompted me to update Binaries again, but this time it worked, and now I am working just fine.

Thanks but I tried that and ,nothing, I can boot into cwm and install superuser but i still dont have root
This should do the trick for you. It's from BlownFuze's dev thread and I've used it twice to clean up my phone after flashing so many ROMs.

I just remembered that there is a newer TWRP version than what his thread will have you download, but 2.5.5.0 will work just fine
Phone has been fine, rooted with cwm5.5. This is wifey phone so I keep messing with it at a minimum. At some point I noticed it no longer has root. It runs stock 4.1.2. With a couple of root apps - such as AdAway-which is no longer working and has error message "Either subinary could not be found or you did not allow root permissions for AdAway"
Superuser app has this error "There are currently no superuser app policies." then "Superuser binary must be updated" attempting to update results to error "There was an error installing superuser. "
I rooted the phone again with the same CWM ver. file. attempted to flash superuser but it errored and aborted installation. I rebooted and installed rom manager so that I could update CWM. That errored out as well. Root verifier confirms there's no root on the phone. I have installed busy box but it has the same error message no root access.
I thought to root with CWM ver 6.0.4.6 but installation aborted. I tried TWRP but it aborted as well. Only CWM 5.5 works which my normal routed is then to flash superuser, install rom manager and then have it update to CWM to ver 6.xx. But his time none of these is working. How do I regain root?

Initially I had actually, but camcorder issues, modems with sporty service ... we a deal breaker. Si I just restored it to stock with kies to avoid more lip. Only thing I did was root the stock so I could install a few apps such as AdAway. I don't plan to do stock on this unless I can get get rooted stock rom.

When I rooted my phone I was wary of using methods that would have me going through either download mode or having to install a custom recovery (which eventually became pointless since I had to do both to flash roms anways lol) but at the beginning I was trying to use something simple.. while googling I stumbled upon this http://www.kingoapp.com/ and rooted from there.. it's like a one-click root kind of thing and seems to keep the root working regardless.. maybe you wanna check it out and see if it helps, in case you loose your root again. If you wanna run your phone stock but rooted, at least after doing the restoration via keys you'll keep the stock samsung recovery.
Hope it helps!

I know, it doesn't show our device, but I kind of went with the home page "root all devices" statement they had and it worked perfectly fine. I did the same with my sister's Note 2 t0ltetmo which is in fact a canadian Videotron phone I gave her and worked fine too. I do not believe that that Note 2 is in the list either, but it still worked

Hey it worked some - I decided to test it on my old Captivate. The only thing is it doesn't install CWM/TWRP or similar. So I cannot install a custom ROM. Is it not supposed to install a custom recovery? If not how do I do that having rooted with Kingoapp?
Thanx again for suggesting this app.

My pleasure, and glad to hear it worked! And no, lol, sorry. The app only roots your phone, but it does not install a recovery. The good thing about it is that at least you can run stock and use any rooted apps, like I do with my Asus HD7 (for which, unfortunately I haven't found either a custom recovery or a custom ROM to flash, so I run it stock but mess around with root apps)
However..
I looked into this Galaxy Captive thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547997 and didn't find a recovery itself that could be downloadble.
So while googling I stumbled upon this: http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2013/10/how-to-install-custom-recovery-in-most.html.
I my english is good enough to understand, it would seem as if the goomanager app allows u to install recoveries directly from your phone, so you could maybe try if you wish.. If u do, please let us know how it worked, as I'm sure others also would benefit from this.
If you want a CWM recovery for either the Note i717, the Note2 T889 or the S2 T989 let me know and I'll upload them, as those are the only ones I have ATM.
Cheers!
