factory reset from recovery. back up your efs before flashing every time for your safety.

there lies the problem! you need the latest version of touch or non-touch version of CWM(i prefer touch) or philz touch recovery. try this and you will be good to go.

You used terminal emulator ??
Then as it says you require a service centre repair
<<Failing that, flash stock and send for repair.

Tried Terminal Emulator and Root Explorer a lot of times.
Gonna delete efs folder then do full wipe and flash ICS Stock Rom again.

I solve my problem using codes via PC and Terminal Emulator.
Thank you very much for your helps

you can also flash cwm recovery(only) from odin separately and then superuser.zip from that recovery.

recoveries dont have compatability with ROMS. They are two completely separate Operating systems on the phone and they do not interact with each other at all. No recovery is "Compatible" with any ROM

the same way you would flash it WITH rooting, but without it..

I wasn't answering that question. You asked another question which pointed to a lack of knowledge on your part. Lack of knowledge is dangerous so I helped you out. Rather than responding with multiple ??? (Which is rude btw) you could have simply pressed "thanks".
Root is part of a ROM. Recovery flashes ROM. Root has nothing to do with the ability to flash ROMs.
OP has posted today in yet another thread .

Go into Settings->About Phone and make a screenshot or type exactly what is written there.Include everything.
Why people try to install temporary CWM (the majority don't even realise it's going to be temporary) & don't simply flash a custom kernel which takes 5 minutes & works every time is beyond me.
this...
hope you can help me
Philz kernel. Look it up,read about it, understand what you're about to do and when you do flash away.

Go to CWM and do Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe Cache partition, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Now just flash any other custom rom from CWM or flash the stock rom back using odin. That should solve your problem. Hope I Helped
