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

At last all these days I spent reading the posts and finally got a chance to post in here and dared to ROOT my phone.
Need advice please help me with tips how to back up my stock ROM and safest way to install custom ROM on Samsung Galaxy S II.
I know its a stupid question to ask when we can find a lot of posts online however I would need one last advice to risk it.
Thanks a lot...!!!
Thanks All.

Isint there anyone who can help me with this??
If you're rooted, and installed CWM, then boot into CWM recovery to backup your stock rom.
First picture in this thread is CWM recovery. This is where you do your backups/restore, and flash custom roms.
I tried to use ROM Manager and back up my stock ROM but getting a message "Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su"
Any advice how to fix this???

I have downloaded the superuser and installed it is asking me to update Binary from the CW Mode, bot M not able to boot to the CW mode as ROM manager is still not able to find the superuser.
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

Hey guys so I ran into anther problem.A while ago I posted on what next for my p769, I have a rooted v10g ICS locked bootloader.I cant do the OTA update because Ive modified system apps and rom settings. I followed the method of flashing a JB Backup with CWM from this link that was provided: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37666447
So then I didnt have CWM installed so I proceeded to install cwm for my phone using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36620368
As for that my results were a little troubling The flashing led lights when I turn on my phone dont blink anymore and when SU grants permissions it has started to loop it continuously grants permissions to apps that SU just gave permissions to.And on top of that the CWM installation was supposedly installed but I cant even boot to CWM
Hope I can get some help on this one .

So a little add on to that I think I jacked up my phone because now it wont connect to wi fi networks and it seems SU gives access to apps but doesn't really give them root access ....-_- I think the worst part about this is I cant restore to an old back up because I was trying to install CWM so I could make backups .

I have used both Stephen and Robert version. Just install the one your prefer. For wifi issue, it work before you mess up your phone? Try to make CWM work and restore a good CWM backup.

You have to do a hard reset to fix the problem. Then start over
LG-P769 rooted, debloated, over clocked, under volted, and linked2sd. 'Tis the season to give thanks so hit the button already!
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!

Thanx for that link/suggestion. I didn't see Note i717 listed under supported devices. Did you if this app supports rooting the i717?

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!
Hey all, about a month ago I flashed Hyperdrive. I messed up not clearing cache/things and it left a few odd bugs that i just dealt with.
Since then I've decided to fix it all up and flash a new rom but now my Safestrap is saying i'm not rooted and SU is saying I don't have the binaries. I'd like to just get off this rom and into something fresh and without bugs but first I need to re-root it looks like. Any help on where to go from here?

Hey Josh,
Thought I'd jump im here because the post seemed relevant to the problem I'm having. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, build NC5 with Verizon. I rooted phone with Towel Root and verified with Root Checker and Busy Box. I am using SuperUser Elite and the binary shows as outdated (in red) but when I tap to update it says downloading manifest.... fail. I then hit try again and it says superuser has stopped working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. I also installed Titanium Backup. I've read about downloading a zip and saving to sd card and then flashing rom and/or starting up in recovery mode and I am not familiar with doing any of that. Any help would be appreciated as I've about had it with the root thing. Thanks ahead of time.
