Rooted, Unrooted, Normal, Stock, I dont know what is my phone? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am Asbaat and this is my first post in this forum. Actually I've heard a lot about this forum and also whenever I had any question about a mobile or a tablet, this site was the best. Ok, the story starts 2 years back when galaxy s3 was just launched and I got my garnet Red phone from France. It was awesome and like everybody knows, after some time, galaxy laggs, stucks, bla bla bla. Same happened with me. I heard that rooting it and installing some files helps speed it up just like jailbreaking an iOS device. I searched some sites and got Odin and a custom recovery (something like that) I followed the instructions carefully and the rooting process started. But the rooting didn't complete properly and the phone turned off and Odin crashed. Now I have supersu and clockwerk(something like that) installed on my mobile but root checker says that the phone is not rooted. They do not uninstall and super su when opened says that binary not installed. when I click ok, the app closes. I am completely helpless and I seek your help so can any technician help me about it. I want to either root it completely or either unroot it completely, Im stuck in the middle. Thanks, I just made my account on this forum so I don't know whether I posted it in the right section. This seemed fine to me. Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Asbaat

Boot to recovery, go to install zip, navigate to where you downloaded to it. usually sdcard/download and choose it to install. go back to main menu and choose reboot to finish then try reloading super su.

I flashed that super su update thingy you said. It made the supersu problem fine. It downloaded an update, then I uninstalled it and finished the root completely, (This made my device unrooted). Then I again rooted it by a website, used Odin and WOALA! IT WORKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! MAN!!!!!!!

you also have to delete the 'install-recovery.sh' file at /system/etc, don't forget that step!
what version of cwm?

i'm using 5.0.2.0 installed from Rom Manager. I've never heard of deleteing that file, unless you use Rom Racer.

I am using rom manager and i dont even get the option of backing up roms...nor the ability to turn off protection on packages ect..
i just tried deleting the install-recovery.sh (rather i renamed it, so i could get it back. And still no cwm after restart? Any other ideas? Did i do something wrong there?
ok...so nothing that you guys suggested works...I have no idea how to get CWM to work fully....now i am stuck with the lame motoblur...yay..
Are you guys 1000% sure you're rooted?
1000%, i have super user app, and i run titanium backup. Everything gets granted root just fine that ask for it.
---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------
strange thing happened. I deleted Rom Manager application. I redownloaded it. It already detected that i was on latest clockwork recovery 5.0.2.0, but i went ahead and flashed it anyways. I then restarted with volume down. I picked "Android Recovery" and it worked just fine. Booted right into cwm!!!! every subsequent time - it doesn't boot into CWM (it boots into what must be motorola's recovery menu).
Wow! That's so odd! I'm glad you found a way to work it at least once though, even if you have to reinstall Rom Manager every time to work it, hopefully this thread is still on page 1 when the experts wake up!
But that is going to suck if i have to reinstall it everytime to use it. i feel like if I can't get into from startup it would be too risky to put any rom on my phone. If i got into a boot loop or something, it seems like i would be so screwed.
After that file has been removed, reflash CWM and it should work. At least that's what got me going.
That did it. Delete the file then reflashed. Awesome. Thanks Guys!
I'm just a noob, mobileweasel helped the most (too bad i'm limited to 5 thanks a day, it's 1:18am here and i've used them up already )
I haven't even got the phone yet but i'm still trying to learn about it and hopefully, help others along the way too See you around!
Well guys the most i can say on this one is, I had somewhat the same problem my first time around. Except mine said, failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode.
the problem that i was having was that i hadn't unlocked my bootloader, which i found that if you want the most recent rom builds, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. there is a sticky for it in the android development section. still should be first thread. says Pudding.
take a look at that. as i thought i had everything ready to go when i got my atrix. i was wrong but a couple of the atrix guru's got me set straight and working with recovery and roms within ten minutes.
any questions, go ahead and PM me and i will give you what help i can. the atrix was the first device to elude me especially since now instead of tefnars recovery we actually have a full working cwm.

[Q] Flashing recovery on my LG P500!

Hello everyone,
I've already posted 2 threads here! People have been helping me understand alot of this rooting/recovering and stuff.
But i need your help again. I have a LG P500 with official 2.3.3 update and I want to flash the TWRP on my phone (phone was rooted. I have the superuser app) Im following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146566 but im stuck at the "su" command!(by stuck i dont mean bricked! I just can go further than that step!)
When i use that command it takes a while and then it says "Permission denied".
Isnt it supposed to ask me for permission? It didnt even show anything to choose if i want to give the permission or not!
If any of you have another way to flash that custom recovery or could help me with this one i would really appreciate your help! (im kinda noob but i heard that ROM manager has a "good" reputation when it comes to bricking phones so ill probably pass all the tutorials that i need to use it!)
PS: i downloaded the TWRP from this site TakamineSubasa gave me (http://lg-p500.zrusit.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7). And also im using Terminal Emulator from the market to write the commands.
Would really appreciate all the help anyone could give me!
Thank you in advance
edit: sorry didnt see that you were using terminal emulator, please go to Superuser app and be sure "Terminal" is listed in the allow list
I dont have any apps listed on the superuser app! And i dont know how to add them!
BAAAM! From xda app! (LG P500! LEGEN.....DARY!)
Mmm thats weird, when you enter "su" command it should prompt permission :S
Try reinstalling Terminal emulator
If that doesnt work, maybe root is screwed.... After you try re-rooting your phone, install Android SDK then do the recovery install within windows command
Oh, and please post which version of stock rom is in your phone... go to settings --> about phone and post that details, and check if its v10a ,b c, etc...
Some letters doesnt like to be rooted the easy way...
PS: If you dont want to install Android SDK also try the second method in the guide i gave you
just download rom manager
then download CWM recovery
after that, reboot into recovery
and flash any recovery zip file that u wan
The first time you use a function that needs root permission, you should automatically get a screen like this: http://fs03.androidpit.info/ass/x66/772466-1281914300690.jpg
After you click allow, you'll be able to use the su function. I suggest you try using other program that asks for root (for example NoFrills CPU Control, or enable root explorer setting in ES File Explorer). If the screen doesn't show up you may want to repeat the rooting process. By the way, did you root the phone before or after official upgrade?
Alternatively, you can try the LGMDP process for unrooted phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15217609&postcount=3
I've heard a lot that using ROM Manager isn't recommended, due to the many reported issues related to it like fastboot, but since I've never tried that I can't vouch for sure.
What I did on my phone was use this "simplified method" to install custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13422938&postcount=91
You'll get an AmonRa v1.2 by following this guide, but after that you can easily flash any recovery you want including TWRP using ciaox's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197

Hello XeactorZ
I appreciate your help but im not an expert in this (only rooted my phone once and apparantely i did it wrong!) and what i heard is that ROM manager is well known for bricking phones and i dont want to take that risk since i dont really want to be without my phone.
Btw my software version is V20c!
I'll try to install ES File Explorer and enable the root explorer setting to see if i accidently pressed the deny option and now its not allowing me to do anything!
if its the case then ill have to unroot and re-root again right? (used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167).
Another thing! when i use the command "su" on the terminal emulator i sometimes get a force close error from the superuser app.

Just go to applications menu and clear data for ES file explorer.
I just tried to enable the root explorer option but, again, superuser app forced closed..
terratrix i only installed ES explorer now, i think that didnt affect anything on the superuser permissions. I'll probably unroot and re-root the phone again today. Cant do it at work but ill try to do it at home.
If you have any ideas i could try, please leave a post! would really appreciate it.
Thank you everyone.
PS: right after i posted this i tried to open the superuser app and now it simply doesnt open. Always force closes!

Yeah as i said, ROM Manager has a risk of bricking your phone, so AVOID it...
And as i said, you either re-root your phone, or use the second method in the guide i posted (LGMDP)

yes i also know
but every person sure got his / her 1st time
u didn't try forever will won't get the answer
just my opinion
Well using ROM manager will be my last option ill first try too re-root my phone(think that will work) and if that doesnt solve the problem i use the other method TakamineSubasa adviced!
But will only use ROM manager if those 2 methods fail! So wish me good luck
Any ideas or solutions to this problem please post them! Even if i solve my problem other solutions may help anyone else!
Thank you very much!

yeah, for those unlucky guys. be warned.
i will still use it though. served me quite well. never failed even once. <knock on wood>
Well i told you guys i would post to tell you how it went!
I managed to "fix" that denied permission problem. What i did was simply update superuser app! And BOOOM! problem fixed.
All went well with the Recovery flashing, I also flashed CM7(had a few scares but managed to fix them [thanks to that im now half asleep at work ]) but after i flashed CM7 and booting into it, i found a problem. My phone doesnt have GSM. I found it wierd that when i booted into it the first time it didnt ask me for my PIN but i didnt even noticed as i was really sleepy. This morning i noticed that i had an "x" next to that GSM scale or w/e you want to call it. And i also dont have my SIM contacts listed.
Im posting this here just to update you guys about how it went but ill do a thread so i try to fix my problem and hopefully it will help someone else!
Thank you guys for all the help you gave!

[Solved] Yay another soft brick/bootloop!

Yes I have searched, yes I have tried google and yes I am still stuck...
I *think* I have tried just about everything and I have read through about 10 "soft brick" or "stuck on samsung screen after rooting on stock ICS" (and most combinations of) but nothing is working. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I just can't seem to get anywhere. Here's what happened.....
I googled rooting galaxy not after ICS update and found this http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
It was all I could find about rooting after the ICS OTA update, so I did it. Everything seemed fine. I had CW but no superuser so I DL it from the market as well as my old Titanium pro from back when I rooted my HTC. I rebooted my phone to get it all settled in and decided to run Titanium and get this party started. I got an error message that busybox was not installed so.... I installed it but when I clicked the app on my phone it said it would not install because I didn't have root access.... This is where the confusion starts to set in.
So I restarted to see if I could get into CW but when I rebooted the soft brick started.... I was stuck at the "samsung" screen.
I IMMEDIATELY ran to XDA and began my search. I can still get to DL mode, Odin and CW so I know there is hope. I tried the files listed in the "All in one guide for noobs" and the "Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)".
There was a suggestion to use Kies but when I put in my serial # and model name i get the "galaxy note does not support initializing" message.
I'm not new to flashing/rooting, although things are a bit different, I have a basic understanding of the process but I ain't no Einstein either...
I also tried to flash the stock Telus ICS rom but I got an error message and my lil droid guy went belly up....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my note and this is killing me...
I have to go to work so if I don't reply immediately its because I have no email access at work.... Especially without my Note....
The steps are correct in the link you gave.
Did Odin3 say success?
Did you get CWM installed?
Did you flash superuser?
Is there a superuser icon in your apps?
Ranger is on it....
I'm thinking we dont have CWM on the device....????
And no SU flash, from within the recovery that doesnt exist....g
He has cwm, he did not flash superuser, Looks like he assumed flashing cwm would automatically root him.
Since you can get into recovery... i would just go ahead and download a Rom zip, transfer to phone by mounting in cwm (mounts and storage if you didn't know) and flash that sumbitch
Oh yep...found that.......Thanks brother....g
That means do or redo steps 13 to 16 in the guide you posted.
agreed....g
im back...
Just got in, thanks for the replies.
Yes I have CWM and can access it. I have tried to flash the CM roms as well as the stock telus ICS rom but was denied at install. I got a "assert failed getprop (ro.build.device)" message and 2 other "ro." error messages when I install the cm nightly quincyatt rom.

Yup, thats the one I flashed, its working and I get a successful message when I flashed SU so I assume its there also. Any recommendations of a rom to try and flash? Still hanging at the samsung screen.....
I appreciate the help by the way, I know how frustrating it can be to try and help with tech situations from emails and messages (Hi Mom ).
Thanks has been pushed....
That assert error is in the script used by CWM to flash and it is saying 'wrong rom for your device'. So for sure you have the correct CWM and rom for your phone? Just checking because errors at this point make your phone useless.

Holy McCrappy dance!
Okay... so I flashed the stock ATT with odin. just at start screen now.... Don't think it is rooted so now.... How do I get back to telus and root right the first time?
Edit: so it appears the ATT rom was a GB ver so I am assuming that I was somehow reverted to GB instead of my stock ICS. Now to try and flash a stock Telus GB rom, update then try to root.... AGAIN! Thank gawd I don't have a $600 paperweight now!

Ok, take it easy for a few days. Just read up and, now that you've survived the worst scenerio, you might want to try a more custom rom or other modifications. Pretty soon you will be pulling someone else's a$$ out of the fire. Good luck.
I think I'm okay now. Was a skeerty one though. Lol

Clockworkmod not installing correctly

Hello all,
Sorry if I am asking a silly question that has been answered before (I have searched for answers but not found what I am looking for).
I have tried to install clockworkmod through Odin. I followed the Ultimate Noobs guide to the letter and although Odin shows a Pass, I don't get any install text on my S3, and when it reboots it just goes straight back to Android. If I then boot to whichever options screen it is, I believe it is just the basic Android one as opposed to the CWM one. I'm not showing any icons for superuser or CWM in my apps screen either.
I am a noob at this as I have come from an iPhone, but any help, or pointing me to a previously helpful post would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Did you miss this part of the guide?
- NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.

[Q] P 7500 - Bootlooped - Few questions !!!!!!!!

Hi Dear all,
I have a P-7500 rooted, SU installed, which is now in boot-loop. The reason is - I tried to install font installer and 2 new fonts. It asked whether SU grants access or not. I said yes, and then installation continued and came the display for rebooting. And it went to boot-loop. The samsung logo remains with periodic glow. It was upgraded to 4.0.4 before rooting. I didn't do the rooting, as I didn't know much about it. As I didn't have any record of firmware or ROM, not sure about what it was.
1. How to get the information of the environment before it went to boot-loop.
2. Any tutorial or previous posts to descrive the recovery process.
Please help me, :crying: you are welcome to ask anything to understand the issues involved.
Please help, Thank you.
