Flashed Entropy's custom kernel, CWM doesn't work - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Hey all,
I recently flashed Entropy's custom recovery kernel for my US YP-G70 (By the way the SuperOneClick root wouldn't work for me so I used an old version of Framaroot (1.4.1 to be exact) to root, and I even checked Root Checker Basic and it said I had root access) and whenever I try to boot into recovery, ROM Manager freezes and then I can quit out, but my screen will randomly be unresponsive. Superuser works fine. When I set it up I did this: It asked me to flash CWM, I said I already had it, I scrolled down to My device is not listed, and it asked me if I had 2.x or 3.x+, I selected 3.x+ because his forum post said 5.something,

[Q] CWM working but SuperUser not flashing in CF+Odin Method

Hi, I'm following the instructions on ChainFire thread in the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
To root Samsung Galaxy S3 without flashing unsecure kernel.
This method, as I understand should flash the Clockwork and install SU.
So far I've flashed it like 4 times, it wont install superuser.
I've seen multiples videos, where after rebooting, it will show the linux like console and install SU, and what now, mine is not doing that. It will just boot Android and no SU.
In the About phone, it shows "Modified", and if I boot in recovery, I'm able to access ClockworkdMod, but so far no luck with SU.
Am I missing something?
My phone is I9300 plain, and I updated after I got it new, shows build number IMM76D.I9300UBALF3
I'm running an international version, which I'm not sure if its the same as the European version used in the toolkit, hence I didnt want to risk it flashing the insecure kernel that comes with that toolkit.
I've tried booting in CWM and try to just flash the SU zip that comes with
CWM-SuperSU-v0.92.zip
and the one from the toolkit 2.0 (think its SU 3.0.7 or something), both will fail the signature check thing and wont install.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.

[Q] Was rooted, now it's not

(SOLVED)
Hey guys, first time root here. HTC One AT&T 32gb
I was succesfully through the process, used a guide on htconeroot.com to go through all of the steps. Everything went just as expected and I had root access through superSU (was able to install and use root apps, such as Titanium Backup and AdFree). I used Root Manager to flash Clockworkmod because I saw a ROM I'd like to use in the future that only supported that custom recovery. After succesfully flashing that, I then made a backup using Root Manager. Everything was successful and expected, but upon reboot into my stock ROM from the original unrooted phone I had apparently lost SU binaries and root access. Also, ROM Manager (v5.5.3.0) cannot find any backups.
I tried reflashing superSU from the original rooting guide (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip), and while it was successfully rooted, I still did not gain root access. I had read through some forums that using the stock ROM that came with the phone might lose root because of the stock recovery, but not sure if that is what happened. I have not installed a custom ROM on this phone yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Solved, had to select "No" when rebooting from CWM on stock recovery option

Is my Stock Recovery corrupted/disappeared/erased?

Okay, let's start from the beginning after I bought my new Cubix Cube CX100...
The first time I ever tried to root this was using Kingo ROOT. But then, I realized I couldn't play Love Live SIF when I'm rooted. So, I tried to find solutions like installing SuperSU from Chainfire and 'hide root', but it didn't work. It needs binary updates that when I try to, it gives me an error "Installation Failed, Reboot phone". So, I unrooted my phone to play this game.
Oh, I tried accessing the Recovery Mode and found a menu, but I didn't get to try anything because I still have less knowledge in this.
Second try is when I discovered the xposed framework's rootcloak, so I, once again rooted my phone and tried this option. By this time, I experienced a loop on boot. The way it loops, the logo shows animatedly but doesn't stop looping and the music keeps playing. I pressed my volume keys, and somehow, I successfully boot my phone.But yeh, the rootcloak didn't work either. So, I uninstalled the RootCloak and xposedframework. and unrooted my phone again.
One more option I found is Cydia Substrate's RootCloak plus. It didn't work, either. And once more, I unrooted my phone.
The next event is I discovered a page about flashing my phone's firmware.
guidemehub.com/2015/09/cherry-mobile-cubix-cube-stock-rom-firmware.html
I skipped to rooting the device and found another way to root it using KingRoot (I don't know the difference between KingRoot and KingoRoot, though)
Once again, I tried rooting this phone and using the SuperSU but still, it did not work.
I was talking with my friend about Rooting, and he mentioned CWMs and TWRPs which my eyes came across. And luckily, I found the branching thread in the same site about CM Custom Recovery.
Once again, I rooted my phone using KingRoot, and as the instruction provided, I used RashR flash tool. I selected and downloaded a preferred custom recovery and flashed it (CWM I chose). After then, I restarted my phone to recovery, but I couldn't. It directs me to the Cube booting, showing logo, and directing me to my phone as if nothing happened.
I again downloaded the original stock rom from that site, and re-flashed my phone's stock recovery. But didn't work, either. And so, I unrooted the phone and didn't try any other options now.
In the present, I talked about rooting once again with my friend, and told me he uses Framaroot. So, I downloaded it, but to my bad luck, when I pressed Faramir (or any of the three), it shows me:
Exploit Result
Failed ... Try another exploit if available (Error #9)
And my friend reacted in a way that the error was unknown to him. And so, he told me about Mobileuncle Tools and about its available tools for android.
When I pressed the Update Tool, it says
Check start Safe Flash update ZIP(NULL Package)
Cant find Update ROM in SDCard
Analysis update package end
And another thing, I found the Recovery Update tool in this app. So, I pressed it and showed me a list of custom recoveries such as CWM and more.
I picked CWM, of course. And downloaded the img within the program.
And so, I tried flashing the recovery within that. After trying so, the app restarted me to Recovery mode. My phone restarted, and when it booted, it boots directly to the system, like nothing happened.
I tried shutting down and using the hardware keys (Volume UP + Power) to access recovery mode, but I couldn't do so. Now, I'm looking for solutions to access my recovery because if I can't, and if one day my phone corrupts, I can't access recovery... I found some tips like using adb fastboot flash recovery or something, but still I'm not sure and I want to confirm.
So, can you guys recommended me some ways to restore my stock recovery or just change the recovery directly to CWM? Sorry for the long story, I specified every single thing I have tried so far and I'm thinking that I bricked my recovery just from keeping on Rooting and Unrooting, or one thing that changed it is the RashR tools.
Join the group in fb for cubix cube that's all I can suggest.... So you could get more infos and guides in t/s your issues with your phone.
Close
I guess I fixed it and all... I'm now running Samsung S6 and PhilzTouch Recovery... ?

Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-19100) Gingerbread | Rooted, but superuser not working

Hello peeps, evilbeef here!
So yea, I have rooted my phone a while a go I have used Odin v185
and I used Speed Kernel S2 K-2 -21 as the PDA file. I have found this on GalaxyS2 Root webpage
I have successfully rooted it, basically I have rooted so many phones using Odin. :laugh:But this one is different. I already have Superuser app (from google store) before I started rooting it. After I rooted it, my phone rebooted automatically. In the Startup, The phone has yellow triangle. My Phone works normally.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THERE IS NO REQUEST OF PERMISSION SHOWING, I ALSO USED ROOT CHECKER, IT IS NOT WORKING, IT SAYS ROOT ACCESS IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. ALL OF THE APPS I DOWNLOADED THAT NEEDS ROOT PERMISSION ALSO DOESN'T WORK.
BUT ONE THING I AM WANDERING ABOUT IS THAT MY KERNEL VERSION CHANGED.
IT SAYS THAT: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #k2-21
But also when I go to recovery mode, I can flash CWM recovery automatically.
The only thing that doesnt work I think is the Superuser.
I also tried checking su binary vlegacy. I also try to check for updates but superuser keeps me forcing it to close.
I think I am only having issues with Superuser I think. How Can I fix this? Please Help
Uninstall supersu from you phone.
Download supersu from this link- https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/ Copy paste it into your SD card.
Boot into cwm recovery and install the supersu zip file you downloaded.
Thanks for the fast respond bro! I was thinking about the same thing tho, I just want to have confirmation from others if this thing would work! HAHAHAHAH thanks mate! :--------)

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.

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.
