First I got back to stock by RUU-ing through adb. Back to 4.0.3, PH98IMG_ICS_4.03.605.2 after locking the bootloader.
Unlocked the bootloader back.
Then I installed AmonRa recovery.
Booted, completed the setup and went back to recovery and selected the from from Dev's menu, "Install superuser and su".
The Superuser app is installed.
Checked with the root checker, and its saying unrooted.
What am I doing wrong?

Which version of amon ra ? I am not certain , but I pretty sure version 3.15 the install Su didn't work. Thought he fixed it in 3.16 . Otherwise, just install a custom Rom .

Flash this over the top
http://download.chainfire.eu/331/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.32.zip
Then install Busybox

Or can do the above and just choose a custom rom, with a normal data & system wipe prior to flashing.

My Rezound and I are stuck.
Let me start at the beginning. My Rezound was running “RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6” and it was unlocked and rooted. So recently Verizon started forcing this firmware update with no way to stop it that I could find. So I decided to update on my own. I did a Nanoid backup of everything and a Titanium back up of everything. I relocked my phone and I found “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” at Android Police [Exclusive Download] Full RUU Build 4.03.605.2 For The HTC Rezound. So I downloaded it and renamed it PH98IMG.zip. Placed it on my SD card and booted into HBOOT were it loaded the new version. It worked so I unlocked my phone and loaded “recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img”. I loaded SU from the recovery had it updated at Google Play. Reloaded Titanium rooted and this is where things started to go wrong. No permissions were being given to Titanium. I tried “recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img” and I even tried SUSuper but nothing worked. I went into recovery and did a complete Nanoid recovery. Since then I have not been able to get anything to work. I cannot load any older versions. I try to reload “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” but it makes it to #4 system were it gets stuck in a loop of unzipping and updating.
My very last attempt was to unlock the phone load “recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img” go into recovery and do a wipe of everything. Then from XDA-Developers [ROM][ICS Global Phone Update][4.03.605.1] Stock, Root, Deodex, Busybox, Global Phone - xda-developers I downloaded the ICS Global Phone Update Firmware and the ICS Global Phone Update. In recovery I used “flash a zip” to update the firmware. I locked the phone and renamed the Phone Update to PH98IMG.zip. Booted into HBOOT and allowed it to update the software. I instantly powered down and renamed “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” to PH98IMG.zip rebooted to HBOOT and it made it to #4 system where it got stuck in the loop.
When I try just to start the phone it stays on the white HTC screen.
What can I do to get my phone working again? Please be specific with the steps to take because I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.
One other question: Can my Nanoid backup recover the data for the internal card so Titanium will be able to recover my programs.
Thank You SOOOOOOO very much for your help.

You tried in recovery turning on Full Format and formatting "system"?
Also try loading a custom rom and flashing it via recovery and see if everything works properly
Don't use the Su option in recovery always flash SU using one of the flash zips either SuperSU or Superuser

Thank you for your response. I went into “Recovery – Wipe” and selected “Toggle Ext Full Wipe”. Then I went to “Format “ and selected “Format all to ext3”. It showed me the warnings and I pressed power to continue.
I tried to recover using my Nandroid backup but it did not work. So I formatted a second time. This time I flashed the firmware zip file and it worked 100% this time. Rebooted to HBOOT/Fastboot and locked the phone. The phone rebooted and made it all the way through setup and to home screen. Software version 4.0.3-605.1 so why stop there. I booted into HBOOT and let version 4.0.3-605.2 load and it made it to “System” and got stuck in the loop.
So to make a long story short I started all over again and flashed the ICS Global Phone Update Firmware. I verified that everything was up and running. Then I tried one last thing. I went into recovery and did a Nandroid recovery. I only selected “Data” and “Ext-card” and let it go. I am now fully operational with all of my programs including my wallpaper. The only thing I can tell I lost was Titanium Backup’s backup. Everything shows no backup and no files are frozen.
Thank you again for your help. :good:
Did everything correctly from start to finish, flashed the SuperSU and Busybox package, but still no root access.
Couldn't install binary on SuperSU so I tried superuser... begins to download the update but fails at request for root access.
Please HELP! TWRP installed fine, i've installed the 4.2 camera keyboard and clock through twrp and they all work fine...
Titaniumbackup says it has root, but I guess that isn't right.. lol
fastboot says *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED*.
I also apologize if this isn't the right place for this, I can't post in the development thread due to the fact that i have <10 posts
You sound rooted, if not you wouldn't have been able to install the 4.2 camera. download superuser and try that. if all is good. then try superSU.
Also reboot your phone and try to install superSU again. but you are rooted.

Sorry I meant to include that superuser failed to gain root access in the process of updating. SuperSU won't even update, just goes to installation failed.

From what I understand if you are flashing the available custom ROM you must wipe system AND format data for it to install successfully. If you are able to get back into recovery just wipe those two and reflash the zip I believe you will be good to go after that.

Finally got it to work. Fix was around xda. Had to install superuser and I then disable superuser in SuperSU and now the superuser updates correctly. Super su still asks me to update and fails but I guess I'll just use superuser... Weird also it reboots when the update fails sometimes
My problem is that I rooted the phone OK but randomly apps will say that they cannot get root. Like titanium backup will randomly do that, a reboot will usually fix it. Thoughts?

I found that manually launching Superuser, then launching TiBu worked when TiBu wouldn't get root.

md5 mismatch is because the backup is unrooted...

no... md5 mismatch is because the backup probably failed and the device rebooted before it completed. this is a known issue with both twrp and cwm recoveries on HTC DNA

gotcha, he didn't say anything about it not finishing, and I had the same issue a while back on my incredible and the backups definitely were completed... so i'm not really sure
OP, go see my post in this sub-forum about not being able to update the su binary. It should solve your issues.
Sent from my rooted and debloated Droid DNA.
I'm having the same issue, but disabling root in SuperSU doesn't work, and when I update the SU binary in SuperSU or Superuser my phone reboots.
S2 on Vodafone UK factory 4.1.2 rom, I've followed the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 and the only hassle I had was that I couldn't see the busybox zip from the CWM menu, so I had to move it from the SD card to the internal storage and then run through the process again. It seemed to complete, and I have the superuser app - but when I try to boot into the CWM recovery I just get the standard recovery.
Any ideas? How do I know if it's rooted, and am I not supposed to be able to boot into the CWM recovery using the same vol up, home and power button startup?
Searc in play store for "root checker" or similar.
Install one of the apps and follow the instructions given.
It will tell you if it's rooted or not.
Cheers
Downloaded root checker and it says it's not rooted?
As mentioned, I tried to install both the CMW zip and the Busybox zip from the SD card - I could install the CMW zip from the stock recovery, but after CMW installed and the menu appeared, I couldn't see the Busybox zip. The CMW menu took me to the internal memory folders. So I moved the Busybox zip to the internal storage, ran through the steps to install CMW again and this time I could find the Busybox zip and it seemed to install okay. I now have the superuser app installed, but no root access, and can't boot into the CMW recovery - it just boots to the stock recovery?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hey guys I'm trying to install the Themed ROM for P769 Locked bootloader. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468880) I have the phone rooted from awhile back, i cant recall what i used to root it, the phone is still on 4.0.4, I am trying to put a recovery on it to install this ROM, but I dont see any recoveries for 4.0.4, I've seen a few different ones for JB but I'm not sure if its compatible.
This is the recovery it said to install (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825) but the issue is that the link to the recovery was taken down, so I'm not sure what recovery I can install.
TLDR: I got a rooted T769 on 4.0.4 and i would like to install the themed ROM for T769 with Locked BL.

I'm guessing you mean that you have a P769 T-Mobile version.
Here is a link to the L9 Recovery Installer - https://www.dropbox.com/s/l8tegpmiyh8moa5/L9RecoveryInstaller_1.5.0.apk
Since your already rooted, just make sure that you download and install BusyBox by stericson from the playstore, before installing the L9 recovery installer. It needs BusyBox installed on your device for it to work properly.
Download the Kumakan themed ROM to your external sdcard.
Open the BusyBox app and click on and select the version of BusyBox to install to the device and select version 1.21.0 to install.
Then install the L9 recovery installer app. Open the app and select "Install recovery" then select "jb/ics stable version", then grant it root rights through SuperSU when asked for permission.
Once it says recovery is installed, select power down/reboot the device. After the phone starts to boot up you'll see your front keys blinking this means you have recovery success and to enter into recovery immediately press and hold volume(-) down button while lights are still blinking... You are now in recovery mode. I would highly recommend that you immediately preform a nandroid backup of your L9 right now before doing anything else. Select backup and restore, choose backup and choose backup to external sdcard.
Once the nandroid backup is done then you are free to flash the Kumakan themed ROM that you want to install. Just follow the directions from the ROM thread to install the ROM.

Sorry for the late reply!
Did you make a nandroid backup when you installed and booted recovery?
If so, all you have to do is just reboot to recovery and restore your nandroid backup and you'll be back in businesses.
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.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
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.
