Guys I was trying to root my bro's GS3 with odin.. the flashing went perfect, infact there was a SuperSU and CWM app installed too, but when i tired to open the app it was showing that SU bianary needs to be updated..
I even updated the SuperSU from the Play store but was getting the same error essentially.. also tried the Superuser FIxer app from PS but it also stuck at
Gaining root access :fail
I tried flashing the SuperSU 1.51 .zip from the recovery mode by placing it in internal memory but to my surprise the file path of the internal memory was not visible and when i inserted a sdcard and copied the file to it and then tried to flash it thru recovery, it was successfull but got a few erros , something like who file not successful(will try again and post exact same thing in by tomorrow)
in the meanwhile can anybody help me? plz its urgent..
phone was on stock rom 4.3 OS before root
mods plz move this thread to the QnA section if necessary, i had ticked it while submitting but my browser froze soon after that

I do not think your ROM is rooted properly. Try to download some software from play store to check whether it is rooted or not.
If not rooted then you have to google and search the rooting process. You have to use computer ODIN to flash and root your phone.

Having SU app does not mean your phone is rooted. Thats just an front end to provide you root access. Your phone has to be properly rooted.

ya i know its not rooted as i cant get the root access, my question is that shall i directly try to reflash thru odin?
Do you have a custom recovery? Did you flash cf-auto root? Philz touch is a custom recovery based on cwm. Flash that with odin, go to philz settings and then re-root system.

The simplest place to start is a root checker app (just stick root checker into play store). If it says that you don't have root then you don't simple as that. In which case use CF-AutoRoot program on your pc which will flash both a Custom Recovery (clockworkmod) as well as root... after that, the world is your oyster...
The root checking app is the simplest way to check if you have root though if you're new to stuff like this.

I am sure you were using stock, based on the OP. Get the custom and have a go. If you flash auto root it will give you stock recovery. You need to check philz or cwm threads for the odin flashables.

If you are referring to the CF-Root post, then you didn't do it right. Not trying to be mean or a jerk... but if you followed the instructions to the letter, then you would have root, and you would have CWM recovery.
1: rom manager dont work on GS2
2: if you flashed cf-root using odin you should have cwm and cwm menu and Su in files when you reboot.
3: when you say recovery not working what do you want to do?
Did you flash the appropriate kernel?
I had the exact same issue when I first rooted my phone using superoneclick. I then did a cf-root and everything worked well so there is something you must be doing wrong...

When i boot into recovery it gives this error "E:falied to verify whole-file signature"
This might seem a stupid question but i'll ask it anyway.
Do you have a Galaxy S2? As your current device sig shows an HTC.

DOwnloaD ODin
Exit Kies if its running in background
ON your MObile
Factory Reset it from settings
Let it boot
Enable USB debugging from developers options
Download 4.03 official roms from SAMfirmware
Install using ODIN
Search for an appropriate CF root kernel..
install it AFTER you have an updated new rom installed completely
DONOT install CWM from any external sources as its already in CF root kernel
WHen you boot after installing the rom go to SU and update it
then go to CWM and grant permission

AFter YOu root it using CF root there is no need to install ROM manager and CWM from it....CWM automatically comes with CF root...
After installing rooted kernel just go to recovery mode
1. Switch OFF
2. Hold volume up + menu + power button

Do you have Clockwork recovery installed on your phone? How are you trying to install these custom ROMs? Are you using ROM Manager?
You don't need root to flash a Rom...
Get Odin
Get an Odin flashable version of cwm
Flash said recovery with Odin
Boot into recovery by holding all the buttons till you feel a vibrant and letting off the power button, or the adb command: adb reboot recovery (or since you have root, download a terminal emulator from the market enter the command: reboot recovery, then Grant superuser permission.)
Then Flash Rom in cwm...
Old version of TWRP maybe?
To run the ROM Manager I needed root access. I tried to load the ROM from the ROM Manager and also straight from manual recovery mode.

Trying to install yours and i get
E:signature verification failed
That is stock recovery 3e...
Go read my post above...
THIS IS A LINK TO CWM TOUCH...JUST CLICK ANYWHERE HERE AND GET THE ODIN FLASHABLE VERSION
You do not need root to flash a Rom... Rom manager is not needed, and in fact just causes more problems than is worth
I don't think ROMmanager is even capable of flashing anything on the note. Someone correct me if I am wrong
You're correct...i wish that app would just go away and be erased from people's memories.
Actually i don't think Rom manager has worked on any Samsung device since eclair...as froyo was when they introduced 3e recovery, which requires signed update.zips, which only Samsung has the signature tool for.
So the update.zip Rom manager downloads to flash cwm with just gets stuck at "E: signature verification failed"
I'm still getting errors I'm going to search on youtube some more and see what could possibly be an issue. I go in with Up+home+power and erase everything I can in there and try to load from .zip and errors.
So I got it to work. I didn't really do anything differently except put it on my external SD card instead of my internal.
So I've used Method 1 off this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
I could get to CWM touch and install the second zip and it looked like it was going to work, then after installation is complete I went to reboot the system.
Reboot was good and I looked in application draw and saw Superuser, But yet when I opened the app it came up with
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.This is a problem!"

Flash this through the stock recovery or CWM:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
It'll install the binary and Superuser.apk for you. You just need to install Busybox after.

Ok So I've flashed the zip now,
But yet again when I reboot I get the same message when I open SuperSU that I don't have the right binaries and when I try to install busybox It again can't verify.
Next time, better post in corresponding thread as i do not monitor other forums.

I have the stock kernel.
and I've only used method one of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
and what nicholas1520 has given me, none working.
Try the unroot script then root again. If nothing works, try an alternative kernel like cfroot or Siyah. Strange, you never never rooted before? I have doubt. Some leftovers in /system from a previous root. Wipes and rom flash in odin does not wipe /system

You will never get signature error in cwm. You do it from stock recovery. Read the guide...

I've unrooted through the zip.
Lets try this again
You flashed the zip I've posted in the stock recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Yea I did but when I flashed it I diddn't unroot from previous, So possibly there is some confliction.
Maybe I could try flashing through cwm touch?
Of course, these zip files all need to be flashed in cwm, not stock recovery

your link says you have two files. cwm and busybox. did you install both?
even if you have stock recovery, its not an issue as long as you're rooted. If you're going to install a custom kernel, you'll get a custom version of CWM anyways.
Hello Xda forums,
i have been using my device rooted for months succesfully. Now I needed to use Titanium Backup, which did not see my root. So I tried updating my binaries where everything got screwed up. It started not to work and stuff. So I re-rooted my device through Odin again. Now my device is rooted but it does not have SuperSU. When I install SuperSU through Google Play, I get "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!"
So, I need to remove all current files relating to SU and re-root device through odin again. Or at least i think this would work. Anyways since my roots not working, i can't remove the files, or let any app remove them.
Any help, please?
-Also no personal files or apps should be gone. A way without losing would be grand!
please guys, help me. I need to solve this as soon as possible..

Do you have a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or 4ext
If yes : Put it on your SD card and reboot into recovery then install from zip, reboot and your done..
If no : Download MobileODIN off play store and follow the instrucion from there..
BTW : Look at the discription on play store your device may not be supported.

No, you don't need a older version.
When reading your first post again, i got a few questions
1. What happened after you tried updating your Binaries?
2. Did you had SU before?
3. Did you fully remove your root or did you just re-root a rooted device?
4. Are you 100% sure you had root before?

1. I tried to update SuperSU through Google Play, and it didn't run succesfully again. (Worst thing i've ever done.)
2. Yep, my device was rooted via CF Auto Root w/ Odin
3. I couldn't really remove my root, since all the ways require to have root before -.-
4. Yep, I was using many apps requiring root without any problem before all this took place..
I think what I need to do is to remove root completely and do it all over again. I can't just factory reset my device, I have lots of files, documents, apps, it would be a pain in the ass

Well there is no other way, Just backup all your files,documents and apps with Carbon,Super backup etc.. And then re-root it.
