[Q] Root won't work after the update to 4.3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. After updating my phone to 4.3, I get "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. If you just upgradeed to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-rooy - consult the relevant forums for your device." I tried re rooting and it did not work. And I get the "No connection" error at Play Store. What should I do?

1. go to DEV section and get CF-AUTO-ROOT and try it out
2. just flash Phliz or TWRP recovery through ODIN and recovery will put su binary into system, and then run SuperSu
3. flash recovery and then flash pre-rooted ROM or directly use Odin flash pre-root ROM.

Problem too big for a Noob

I have tried to Root my Vibrant on the UVKB5 update for a while now.
One Touch Root, says "no space on device", yet declares the phone rooted (su commands do not work).
Applications that require root, though, do work the su binary is always outdated and cannot be updated because "cannot find installed su binary".
This was found when I tried to boot into Clockwork Mod but only ended up in recovery mode - I downloaded the e3 fix that told me "the system cannot find the path specified. temp root failed! install cannot continue." All Try agains and Reboot and Try Agains result in the same answer.
I don't want to go back to JFD because I've done it before with a CyanogenMod with SGSII and everything crashed.
But if I did go to JFD, could I install CyanogenMod 7 the same? (the instructions assume I have the UVKB5 update)
Help.... please?!
Thanks!
i believe CM is like miui...as in the way of flashing it on the vibrant. u can either flash it from eclair 2.1 or froyo 2.2. as long as u can boot into recovery. but if u flash it from 2.1 u might have to pull out the battery then reflash from the new recovery since it bootloops...hope that helps.. i actually read how to install it..have u tried flashing project v which is a uvkb5?? then CM??that could be an easier way since project v is already rooted.

I kinda wanna just install cyanogenmod...
all u have to do is this
1) root
2) install rom manager (free) from market
3) install cwm from rom manager
4) click reboot in recovery from rom manager(it will ask for root access)
5) reinstall package(u may have to repeat this step twice
6) put a custom rom of ur choice CM7 or miui
7) install it ....THAT'S IT....

Did you even read my original post.
My phone is only half rooted. Clockwork won't open and the e3 fix can't find root.
I know what to do, I was reading the instructions.
Have you tried to update your Superuser app in the market? If you download it and install the update you might get a parse error or something that says it can't update the binaries. Scroll down in the market link for Superuser and there is an Update Fixer. Install and run that and then rerun/update the Superuser app.
Sounds like your binaries are out of date. This shoud fix it. Might also want to go to settings>manage apps>Superuser and clear cache/data. Once you update the SU, you'll have to re-grant permission anyways so clearing data shouldn't be an issue.
If that fails try to re-root is with Option A here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 There are two options here. Choose before you start.
A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.

That is not the problem. Installed Update Fixer. Signatures are "OK!". Force, just force closes the app.
A: I can't flash through CWR, as mentioned in my OP.
Looks like I'm going to have to start over again and just ODIN through this..

I did read your OP and it says this. If you update your SU then the binaries will update too with the fixer. The you can download CWR from the market, reinstall it, grant SU permission and flash away. Try going into settings>manage apps>superuser and clear cache/data. If you are only half rooted as you say, then first thing to do us get full root back, eh? Good luck.

Thanks for all the help, but in the end I did man up and went back to stock JFD and now Cyanogen mod runs amazingly. And the MMS that didn't use to work on my phone -does!
Google Apps didn't install properly and I had to re-install the rom 'cause i was impatient.
Love it now though... and google thinks I have a nexus s. ^^

[Q] Does not have proper root

Hey guys,
I have an i9300, rooted with slimbeam installed. A few days ago I dropped my phone and the screen cracked and the display disappeared; so I got it replaced. When I turned my phone on again, it was stuck on the boot screen. So I fully wiped my phone and flashed slimbean again (as I already had the file on my external SD card). This got me passed the boot screen and my phone is working fine except it seems like I don't have proper root access. I downloaded a root checker and thats the message I got "Does not have proper root access" and when I run superSU it said "the su binary needs to be updated" so I click on update and I get a message saying " install failed. Reboot and try again" I reboot and tried again and same error
Anyone know what my best course of action would be?
EDIT: It also randomly keep rebooting.
Thanks a lot guys!
Cheers

i did flash superuser from the respective thread. When I run the root checker app I still get the "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access". When I run SuperSU it says "There is no SU binary installed and SuperS cannot install it. This is a problem! "
What do I do now? I was hoping flashing SuperSU would solve the problem.. but i guess that didnt work

[Q] re-rooting of S3 I9300

I am using galaxy s3 I9300 since last 4 months. Last week i rooted this phone and very next day i upgraded it's android to 4.3. After that my supersu says that "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem. if you just upgraded to android 4.3, your need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device." Then again i rooted my phone but now this time my supersu was not showing in all apps, i again rooted 2-3 times, but still my supersu was missing. Then i downloaded supersu form play store and installed.
Now my custom binary is 4 and SuperSu is still showing the same error (there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem. if you just upgraded to android 4.3, your need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device.)
I used Triangle Away.apk to reset the binary counts but this is also asking for root access and my supersu is not working...
Please help me in this..

Latest CWM SuperUser flashable zip

Hi, folks,
I have pretty much wasted the past 3-4 hours trying to get cwm superuser to work.
I installed .314 UK generic firmware using FlashTool & unticked wipe data, then used TowelRoot v12 to root then flashed NUT's dual recovery but no matter what cwm superuser flashable zip I use I cant get it to work right, it always prompts me to use recovery install when I open the SuperUser app, tried that but I just get error saying there was a error installing SuperUser. If I disable SuperUser then install SuperSU & SuperSU pro from market I get root access but SuperSU has always had issues with AdAway applying the hosts file so I switched to CWM SuperUser when I was on .402 firmware.
I did have the flashable CWM zip file but can no longer find it
Really need some help with this.

If you're not on CWM, you can't use CWM SuperUser. Install SuperSU and use that. You can also switch to AdFree which is what I use. You'll also need to install XZDualRecovery to be able to write to /system.

Thanks for the reply
I was using CWM superuser with no issues on .402 UK generic & Philz recovery, I have always had issues with SuperSU both on my old Galaxy S3 with custom roms & now on my Z2, most of the time with SuperSU any app that needs root access will freeze due to the delay in SuperSU showing the alert & as I mentioned above with AdAway not being able to apply the hosts file 90% of the time.
I also have Dual Recovery installed but keep losing it, seems that using the NDR tools app it installs causes the phone to forget that the recoveries are installed.
Just want some help with this issue & it would be great if someone could post a working kitkat CWM superuser flashable zip.
Can anyone else help me with this?
Have just done a full wipe & used Flashtool to install UK generic .314, have used EasyRoot 12.1 to root & it says I'm rooted. I then install CWM SuperUser from market & when opening it says the su binary needs to be updated & only gives recovery install or cancel options, I chose recovery & it reboots into Philz recovery & says it has installed but Philz says root is broken. When I boot the phone again I get a notification from SuperUser saying the binary needs to be updated again but when I tap recovery it just says there was a error.
Really would appreciate some help here as I need to get AdAway installed, change the DPI & use the nextapp kitkat SD fix app.
Cheers.
EDIT: forget it, got it fixed myself, now CWM superuser is working fine.

Can't fix root. Do I need to flash recovery again?

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.
