Hi,
I'm trying to see if rooting my phone was successful. I used the method in the sticky of this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081 I used 2a Doomlord's method.
So ya... How can I tell if I succesfully rooted the phone? I thought something would show in odin mode but nothing in there seem to indicate whether the root was a success? I just see the flash counter and custom rom indicator
I'm currently running ucmd8 kitkat

A fairly easy way to is to download an app that checks for root privileges, like Titanium Backup. If it fails the root test try Odin again - or use Framaroot (an app), and select the Aragon method.

Hey!
I was trying to root my friends phone, since I got more experience than him on rooting.
I downloaded Super One Click Root 2.3.1 and rooting it was a success.
I got Superuser and Busybox installed, but here's where my problem starts.
I still have the original recovery(download mode) look, so it hasn't changed.
I can't backup my phone using ROM manager, it says whole-verification failed(or something like that).
I can't use Odin v1.85 because I'm getting stuck on Setupconnection.
So, shortly said, I can't backup or restore anything. But I do have ROOT access.
Because of that I don't wanna continue installing any ROM's or Kernels!
Any kind soul wanna help me out? <3
This isn't anything like rooting a Nexus S

Use mobile odin to flash CF-Root.

Hi,
I have tried rooting my SGS3 after updating to 4.1.2.
I am flashing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 via ODIN. It says everything has completing successfully and the square turns green....no errors etc.
When i got to the menu, SuperSU is not present. Apps are not able to get root permissions. CWM is installed however.
Has anyone experience this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
try cf-autoroot cos i believe the cf-root is not supported anymore.

It can take multiple attempts for the root to kick in. If you don't see the CF-Root script kick in after using ODIN you need to try again.
The other option is to use the Exynos 4 root exploit APK.
It works for me ive done it 3 times. on 4.1.2 xxelkc
dont try exynos exploit or whatever may break your camera
CF Root 6.4 works .

Hello, I am a complete noob with android software and these forum websites.
I bought a the standard Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 a few months ago, rooted it but since then I still have no root access. This is the first time I've signed up for any website to ask for help, because I cant find any solution to fixing it.
I followed a simple guide, which instructed to use odin, and the Siyah kernal. It said the root was successful and superuser + CWM was installed.
On the Superuser Binary Updater, its says the latest version is 3.1.1 but I only have 3.0.3.2. When I try update, it says "Gaining root access... fail!"
The 'Root Checker Basic' app tells me "This device does not have proper root access"
I was suggested to use OneClickRoot. I try it, and it tells me my device is already rooted.
I am using:
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9100XXLS8
Kernal version 3.0.31 siyah-s2-v6.0b5
Please help me gain root access without wiping the data off my phone. I dont want to modify the way the system looks or works, all I want is root access. Sorry if this posted in the wrong place, this site is confusing for me
Flash Siyah again (through CWRecovery if the flash was successful enough to install it, if not through Odin again).

I've tried doing it again through Odin and still no change. Is it possible that I'm doing it wrong? After many searches I see there's multiple ways of rooting the device..
Can you please link me to correct instructions for using Odin? Just to be sure I'm doing it right
Siyah tar file in PDA section of Odin, click start. I don't know why people think this sort of thing is complicated when it's really very simple.
Hi All,
In my quest to learn a little more about my device, I've decided that I want to know how rooting is actually done manually. Where it stands, my device is currently rooted using a CF Autoroot Odin flashable (recovery?).
I saw that Super SU provides a CWM flashable zip but I suspect that it's the same as sideloading the application or installing it from the store and that won't be enough to get rooted. Or is it?
Bumping my thread :laugh:

(1) please read the FAQ and stickies to understand what rooting is and why CF autoroot has nothing to do with recovery
(2) cf autoroot, if I am not wrong, but I might be, injects files that will enable you to have full access to the device, after that for instance you can flash a new recovery, use apps that need root etc. super user is the app to control which apps you allow to obtain root.

I've read and followed the procedure for rooting ang flashing with a custom recovery previously but I've followed your suggestion and re-read it anyway, in case I missed something or my memory loss kicked in again.
Perhaps you are correct. I was a little confused since I flashed it with Odin as well but come to think of it; it's like an upgrade package that, as you mentioned, uploads files to the device that give Superuser Access.

I've flashed a custom recovery before rooting but I suppose that only applies to some devices. Samsung is great because it has Odin!
Alright, so SuperSU only allows me to control what applications require root access (something like User Account Control for Windows).
Thanks for clearing that up!
As for my original question, the manual rooting process and what's required to gain root access seems undocumented since there are a ton of methods to accomplish it automatically. I hope someone can point me to the right place to understand what CF Autoroot or other apps actually do to gain root.
I was trying to root my sisters S3 i9300, until the Auto Rooting App i used, didn't work and changed the kernel(without root access available ) and now whenever i try other rooting apps it doesn't work. I think its because of the kernel change it wont let me root. So someone told me to "Get back a stable system by flashing latest firmware by Odin. If it boots normally, use cf-auto-root (by Odin, too). ".
I got ODIN 3.10.6.
Problem:How to flash latest stock S3 i9300 firmware(link would be appreciated) by ODIN?
How to then use CF Auto Root, to root my device?
A video or clearly detailed written tut would be awesome
I know is quite noobish question but YOLO?
