Install Apps like Titanium backup which needs root privilege at start when you open and further you can verify if your device is rooted !!
Okay i installed Titanium Backup and it seems i dont have root. It failed it says. So how i can root my phone with this kernel : [email protected] #2 ?

Try framaroot again and see if it works. There was a Q&A part explaining your scenario where "Framaroot say Success but SuperSU is not installed after reboot".
Update: After using the search function, I found the CF- auto root designed for your firmware: http://download.chainfire.eu/24/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Thanks. I downloaded the CF-Auto root. And it works. My next question is: Can i "install" Cyagonenmod or something? For a newer Android Version. Or should i dont do it?

You will have to install a kernel with a custom recovery (such as philz kernel). Then you will be able to install custom roms.

Yes, cwm is a custom recovery. The included cwm on cf auto-root is quite old and won't allow you to install kitkat and some jelly bean roms. You can always try

The easiest way to get kitkat rom and get new recovery is to use cyanogenmod installer. Then it would be much easier to install other roms of your choice.
OK does it work with dat cf auto root? And is there a link and tutorial?

Lol. To get cyanogenmod installer, go to get.cm on your phone's browser then follow on screen instructions, that's it. The installer actually doesn't need any root as it will install root anyway (in this case, you will keep root). Be sure to backup! Happy flashing

I installed it. But then the installer want to download "operating System" and after 5 min or something it says : Download failed. We were unable to download CyanogenMod for your device. Please check your Network Connection and try again.

Must be a problem with the firewall. I can teach you the manual way then, but it is definitely harder. Don't worry, I will guide you through;
I guess you are on gingerbread so follow my guide carefully:
Recovery navigation:
Up and down - Volume button
Select - Power key
1. Download the latest snapshot of cyanogenmod 11 onto your phone's storage here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/90770/cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9100.zip
2. (Optional) Download the compatible gapps file onto your phone's storage here: http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
3. Download the latest philz recovery onto your phone's storage here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip
4. Reboot your phone into recovery (turn off phone, then press power button, up and home button all together until you see the samsung logo)
5. You should now see the recovery, select flash a zip
6. Select Internal sd card or ext sd card (if these are not on the menu, sd card 0 = internal sd card, etc)
7. Select philz recovery zip
8. Confirm to flash
9. Return to main menu
10. Go to advanced
11. Select reboot to recovery. Your phone should reboot back into the new recovery
12. Once back into the new recovery, select factory reset. Your phone will now delete all of your apps!
13. Then select wipe cache partition.
14. Then go to advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache.
15. Go back to the main menu
16. Select Flash a zip
17. Select the storage location that you used for your downloads
18. Locate and select the cyanogenmod .zip file and confirm to flash
19 (Optional)Select gapps .zip file and confirm to flash
20. Return to main menu
21. Select reboot device
The first boot may take long so be patient. If it doesn't bootloop, you have successfully flashed a rom onto your device!
Ok just a question does it work with may CF-Auto root? It has the CWM 4.0.0.2 . So i'm just carefull cause i dont want to brick my phone ^^
BIG EDIT Okay i just flashed it. And it works . Thanks for the help really .

i assume since it is rooted that you already have clockwork recovery installed.
hold power and vol down to boot into recovery
select wipe cache/factory restore
select install from zip
select the rom i showed you
reboot!
you must put the rom in the root of your tab first
use androzip to move it there

sorry but still a newbie here and i might get annoying to some peeps here but just very cautious on how this would work. so i'm going to ask question
factory restore - does this mean i'm going a clean up and unrooting my device? from the steps above? is the end product going to have the touchwiz update or is this the touchwiz update with a email sync problem? where does the touchwiz update happen? i didn't see that step above?
lastly.. is there a video i watch to see this in action.
galaxytabhacks.com is a bit slow on updating their video's on how to update a rooted GT 10.1 with touchwiz update...
thank you all for the current post and i'm sure that there are many users here that will appreciate this information.. (for all you do please post and cheer on the peeps that helped us out).

ok.. so go to clockwork recovery - i know how with that two options (icons by pressing those buttons)
make a backup - don't know how?
factory reset - i'll read up
install zip from sdcard - done it before
install - if i find it i'll select install
reboot - hopefully
so how does the backup work - any steps.. where can i find that option. thanks again for all these information..
in the main clockword recovery menu select back up and restore ...select backup
these are all in the main menu of cwr... dont worry about the wipe/factory restore just select it and do it.....make sure you put the new rom in the root of your tab first. just like you did with the root.zip when you rooted
put the new rom zip in your tab
boot into cwr
make a back up
do a wipe/factory restore
select install from zip
select choose zip
select the rom zip you downloaded and put in the root of your tab
install
reboot
this is from the first link i gave you
Here is the clockwork mod menu
- Reboot system now (self explanatory )
- Apply update from SDcard. (when you connect your device to your computer it will show up as tablet. The SDcard that cwm refers to is simply your device storage. Always make sure to copy install.zips to the root directory of your tablet storage.) You use this when applying an update for a specific ROM if that is what the ROM developer says.
- Wipe Data/ Factory Reset You should always do this before you install a new ROM or if you are having minor issues with your device.
- Wipe cache partition Think of this as the lite version of whats above . If you do above though it doesn't hurt to do this too.
- Install zip from SDcard Use this to install new ROMs.
- Back up and Restore
- Mounts and Storage use this to connect your device to your computer when in recovery mode. It is also possible to transfer files to your device while in this mode.
- Advanced What you are interested in here is something called dalvik cache, you want to wipe this too before installing any new ROM
- Power off
this is the main menu of clockwork recovery
backupand restore...wipedata/factory reset...install zip reboot are all on this menu

Install Mobile Odin and flash a CFroot-kernel.
AND DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER known problem with CM
CWM Manager
Looks like you didn't do your "homework" and read up, no you didn't, otherwise you would have read the stickies in the forum on how to root, flash etc
Moral is; If your not sure or confident, read more until you are ready...........
Note: ROM Manager is incompatible with SGS2 as recovery & kernel are flashed to same partition! So you need to flash a kernel with CWM recovery.
Do not flash this kernel if you have a 9100G model.
1. Install Chainfire's CWM Manager app attached.
2. Download a CF-root kernel from Chainfire's thread [14.01.2012][CF-Root 5.2] K/EFGHIJKL*, KP1/2/4/8/A, LA2, LP1/2 -su+bb+CWM4/5. Read his instructions on finding a matching kernel.
3. Extract the kernel "zImage" and place it on your internal sdcard (not external/removable).
4. Run CWM Manager app and allow Superuser permission.
5. Install kernel zImage
6. Follow any further instructions............
when i try and install CWM manager it says "application not installed"

2. Tap "Kernel"
3. Select either internal or externel; where you saved the kernel zImage (you extracted it earlier right?)
4. Navigate to where you saved the zImage and tap
5. Follow instructions ................
Edit: If still unsure, read and search Chainfire's Mobile Odin thread first,........ only then ask there

I am no longer supporting this version of CF-Root. I have personally moved away from permanent custom recoveries. I will still be providing roots by way of CF-Auto-Root (click). The downloads in this thread will remain available, I just won't be updating them.
.
.
.
.
.
If you just want to get your device rooted ASAP, see this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root. This thread is for the recovery only.
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. This stuff is made for the GT-I9300 and GT-I9300T, if your model number has a suffix, it may not work, or if it is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead.
Here's my port of CWM 5.5.0.4 to the SGS3. There's a second version number in the thread title, as I think there will be multiple versions.
As is the case with every SGS release (it happened with the SGS1 and the SGS2, and now again with the SGS3), CWM source isn't built to correctly deal with our setup (internal storage vs sdcard). I had to make a number of changes to the source to get it working correctly. From my tests, it all seems to work, but it's quite possible I missed something (report issues).
(I have tested backup/restore to both internal and external storage, wipes, installing zips from both internal and external, etc, all works as I expect it to)
Aside from the base fixes, there is currently nothing fancy about this build of CWM. I'm not sure if the SGS3 suffers from the brick bug (that SGS2 and Note have), but I patched out the relevant code to be sure (I think). Backups are rather big, system alone is about a GB.
I'll do more some other day!
Instructions - Short
Extract the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y zip file, to get the tar file you can flash in Odin as PDA.
Instructions - Long
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Unzip the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.zip file
- If you end up with a recovery.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.tar
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it.
Navigation
In recovery, use the volume buttons to move up/down, power or home button to select, and back to go back.
Manually rooting
Note: if you're just flashing CWM to root, it is easiest to follow this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root.
Applying root once you have this recovery installed is easy.
- Go to the SuperSU thread and download the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file attached to the first post
- Put the zip file on your sdcard (either internal storage or external sdcard will do)
- Put your phone in recovery mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-up + home + power to boot - release power after one second) - Alternatively, use the "adb reboot recovery" command
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from internal sdcard" (depending on where you put the zip)
- Select the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file
- Done !
Root in ADB
If you root through recovery and are not running a custom kernel, chances are that ADB does not have root when Android is booted. You can enable root in ADB even on stock kernels by using the adbd Insecure app. This does require the device to be rooted!
When flashing a new firmware ...
... you probably want to keep recovery. Most stock firmwares include the stock recovery, so if you flash those with Odin this recovery will be overwritten. Alternatively, if you are using Mobile ODIN to flash, first open the firmware files you want to flash using the "Open file ..." entry (sometimes several times), then select the "Recovery" entry and press the "Clear" button in the popup. This way, recovery will not be overwritten.
CWM Manager
Also attached is CWM Manager, a tool I wrote to manage my CWM kernels and recoveries. Download the APK to your device and open it to install. You may need to go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administration first and enable Unknown sources.
Note that v1.1 or newer of my CWM build is required to use CWM Manager.
Flash counter
To reset the flash counter to 0, see the Triangle Away thread.
OTA's
Since v1.5, flashing OTA updates is supported directly using this recovery. You should however be aware that said OTA will most likely re-install stock recovery and remove this one. Furthermore, it may keep doing so every time you boot. CF-Root v6.3 (and newer) will try to disable this, it is advised you flash that. Just reflashing this CWM recovery will likely not help.

The kernel will is safe to use, but when flashing there is always a chance of bricking, just to make sure you get the right one here is the link to the kernel you need.
http://d-h.st/users/siyah/s3
The one that has CWM in the name is a zip file to flash in recovery mode, go to install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card and browse to the folder you saved it in and select the zip and scroll to yes then reboot.
The .tar file is to flash in Odin, add the file to PDA, enter download mode and connect the phone to the pc via usb, then click start sit back and your phone will reboot automatically.
Make sure repartition is NOT checked in Odin.
To check the kernel go to settings, about device and check kernel version.
Well I have already rooted in odin so do I just download this kernel on my phone, the go to recovery mode and apply the kernel and thats it? Or have I got to do more than just rooting and aplyimg the kernel?

Did you root using CF Root or CF auto root? Auto root doesn't use clockworkmod, if you used auto root you will need to use the .tar or flash clockwork mod via rom manager (available in the play store.)
Appart from that just install the kernel.
I used cf auto root in odin, could you write down the steps I will need to go through to apply this kernel so I can overclock, im fairly new to this so I get confused very easily lol

Through CWM, this will not increase your binary counter however in the latest bootloader booting to custom recover sets it to 1.
Download the .zip file and save it to your internal sd card (less chance of failure)
Download rom manager from the play store
Open rom manager and select "flash clockworkmod recovery"
Confirm your phone model
Follow any other on screen instructions
Then when it's flashed switch your phone off
Hold Vol up, home and power button to boot to recovery
Select install zip from sd card
Select choose zip from sd (something similar)
Select the zip file, then scroll to "yes"
Wait for it to flash and reboot
Through Odin (this will increase your binary counter.)
Download the .tar version
Open Odin
Click the PDA button
Select the .tar file you downloaded
Put your phone in download mode (Vol down, home and power)
Connect your phone to your PC
Ensure repartition is NOT selected
Click start and wait for the phone to reboot
Then check the kernel version in settings, about device.

Do I have to do both of these or just one?
Sorry I post so much, as its my first time rooting im just worried about messing up my phone, so I have rooted my 4.1.2 and to apply this kernel is it best to do it through mobile odin, pc odin or through recovery on my phone?
Another question is that when you say internal sd, is that the normal memory inside the phone or a micro sd card?
I downloaded the CWM Zip file and flashed via CWM recovery 6.0.2.7 touch.
Internal sd means normal memory inside the phone.
Okay so ive downloaded the siyah 1.8.6 zip, and ive also downloaded rom manager, should I just go straight into rom manager and apply this kernel or is there something else I have to do?
Also what is a binary and flash count.
Im new to this so im learning
Also where it says 'flash clockworkmod recovery' I have to have clockworkmod installed, how do I know if I have it or not?

You don't need clockworkmod intalled to flash it, just tap flash clockworkmod and it should flash it.
Then boot to recovery to install the siyah zip file.
The flash counter (or binary counter) is a value in the bootloader that changes whenever something unofficial is flashed through Odin whether it's root, rom, recovery, kernel anything. Samsung have used it for awhile to stop people who have used custom firmware just flashing a stock rom then getting a warranty service, There are however ways to reset the flash counter to claim a warranty service if needed.
Okay I will give this a go thank you, when I downloaded the siyah im not sure where it would have went to, where would be the normal place it would have downloaded to?

If you downloaded it on your phone's browser it will be in /sdcard/Download, if you downloaded it on a PC browser it will either have gone where you put it, or into user\Downloads.
Hi all I recently rooted my Micromax A116 and desperately need help with following:
1. I used RootGenius to root my phone. I now want to wipe my phone and do a factory reset. I've already backed up important stuff but now need the phone to be as good as new (with root access). How do I go about doing this?
2. Once it's reset, which recovery and rom am I supposed to use? The threads here use other root methods so I don't know what works with what I used. Do I even need a custom rom?
Please talk to me like I'm five because I've basically 0 understanding of all this.
Can someone please help?
Can someone at least tell me if it would be safe to unroot, do a factory reset via settings and then re-root again?
Please help me, I'm desperate.

The first thing you need to do is to install a custom recovery which can be twrp or cwm according to your liking and then download flashable zips of any rom and
go by the instructions given in the rom thread

Why would you want to unroot when you have nothing to install.? doing factory reset simply has no advantages!

Ok but my phone is already rooted but the instructions on the rom threads are for both root+recovery. So I'm concerned if I try to re-root on top of an already rooted device it will cause problems. So what can I do to just install recovery only? there are no instructions for that.

do the following steps..
1.download and install mobileuncle tools.
2.download the latest recovery which you want... either cwm 6.0.5.1 or twrp 2.8.3.0.
3.place the recovery in your sd card in the open i.e., it should not be in any folder.
4. rename the file to recovery. hence the file will be recovery.img.
5.open mobile uncle tools, go to recovery update.
6. 1st option will show the recovery in your sd card.
7.click on it... then press ok... then reboot.
8.Done!

Thank you for replying...I had given up and wasn't expecting a reply at all so didn't check for last few weeks.
So where can I download the latest version of cwm? there seem to be so many versions and most seem device specific. I'm not able to figure out Edit I've downloaded an older version which is mentioned that it works for micromax a116, is it safe to download a later version if its not specified it works with this phone?
