I was on stock 2.3.6
I unlocked boot loader
Rooted
Flashed romracers recovery.
When I reboot into recovery nothing except android triangle and exclamation mark shows up.
Any help? I tried to search but couldn't find anything.
Edit:
I figured out that it was because of install-recovery.sh
I can't figure out way to delete it. I tried fast boot method. I tried root explorer way but I always get permission denied. I have tried changing permissions in root explorer but that is the only file I can't change permissions in. I have root and confirmed that with root checker.
Is there any other way that I could get cwm working?

Edit:
I had to re root and install different version of cwm. Everything is working fine now. Mods can lock this if they want.
I am trying to unroot my phone with Kingo and the only thing that is bugging me is the Custom boot logo that won't go away on reboot or startup. I REALLY want to get rid of it. Any help?

search for stock boot animation for your device
it may be a zip file flash it via cwm recovery
or it may be samsungaanimation file replace it with your system animation file using root explorer
And can't seem to get it back.
This is what I installed. SuperSU was even there. but if I check root it says it in not properly rooted and if I try to use an app that requires root it says "Root not available or denied".
Still can boot into twrp recovery. Still can install .zip files.
I had to go back to stock (first time since buying the phone in 2012) because of too many problems. Any help would be appreciated!
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.
Beamed in by telepathy.
So I Am trying to root with that update.zip method, that is successful but I can't find any SU icon on phone after rebooting. CustomRecoverYmod thingy works but not rooting. What should I do?
