Pokemon Go on i9300. Anyone can help me help my nephews? :) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I need to run Pokemon Go on two Samsung S3 i9300. Anyone who actually is running it on his/her S3 can suggest me the easiest way to do that on a custom rom? I saw about Magisk but while I am running it without any problems on RRemix on my Redmi Note 3 Pro, I cannot run it on my nephews' s3 phones
Anyone can help?

I did it using SuperSU and SUHide on RRemix on I9300.

Thanks, I'll give it a try! BTW, did you install SuperSU the 'normal' way or via recovery, when it asks you at first launch?

First after installing rr with gapps i installed supersu from play store and did full unroot. Then i made a file in sdcard1 named .supersu with "systemless=true" if i remember good. After that i rebooted to recovery and moved file .supersu to /data/ using aroma file manager and flashed supersu. Now it doesnt work so im trying new method because safetynet has got fail payload when you try to run it on i9300.

SuperSU + suhide + removing /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su will make pokemon go work on RR and any rom with built in SU. You can avoid the last additions if you're running AOSP.

[Q]How to downgrade superSU versions

I have an HTC One M8 with ROM 4.16.1540.8 (5.0.1)
I'm trying to remove my SuperSU app so that i can downgrade it to a lower version(2.20) due to incompatibility with some of my apps (puzzle and dragons).
Bootloader is unlocked and it is s-on.
I have tried removing SuperSU through the app itself by using the reinstall, switch superuser app, and full unroot functions, but everytime I restarted the phone superSU would be back and in version 2.46. I also tried manually deleting the apk and su files in the bin and xbin folders in system using es file explorer but a restart just brought those back too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Find the flashable zip for the "older" version and flash in recovery. I would think that should do it.
Hi thanks for the reply.
I flashed superSU 2.23 from recovery, but i got stuck in bootloop. What should i do to fix it? Thanks!
Edit: flashed the updated su back in and got out of it. How do i do the downgrade without a bootloop?

Hmm, wouldn't expect that to happen. Obviously, since I would never intentionally bootloop someone!
Flash the stock ROM or restore stock nandroid. Then flash the desire SuperSU zip. That's the best I can think of.
Make a nandroid backup of your current setup (if you haven't already) to revert to "just in case".

So you tried to flash 2.82? I don't think that is the proper way to update. Since you already have SuperSU installed, you should just be able to go into the SuperSU app, and update the binary from there. Or is that what led to the "binary occupied" error?
But back to the basic question, you can't "unflash" SuperSU. You can "dirty flash" Lineage (just wipe cache and dalvik, can keep user data), and that will put you back on the "unrooted" Lineage ROM. Then you should be able to flash SuperSU 2.82 via zip.

I don't personally use Lineage. I believe you will need to flash both of those, yes.
@redpoint73 , found this script made by osm0sis to "unSU". not sure if is relevant to earlier posts but thought maybe if you havent seen it yet would be worth looking at. maybe could help someone.?

Need immediate help with Galaxy S3 i9300

Hey guys
I installed CM 13.0 (2016/01/02) on my i9300
Then installed GApps and everything was working fine
TWRP Recovery and SU were installed too
When I tried to open SU though (to enable root options) it said that SU Binary was not installed and that I had to manually re-root it
I used the CF-Auto-Root method but I still got the same message
Then I remember that I had installed a Kernel on my S4 i9500 when I had updated it to CM 12.1
So I googled and downloaded SiyahKernel v1.9.1
Now my phone is stuck on the boot-up. I get the S3 logo, then a purple eye and then a blank screen
I tried booting into recovery and reinstalling CM 13 but it just closes after displaying "Installing update"
Download mode re-rooting doesn't remove the kernel
Another website suggested I use another kernel but I wanted to get help before I did any more stupid things
Any help is appreciated

Looks like you totally screwed it up. Siyah on CM13?! you gotta be kidding me. Never ever install siyah again unless you're on stock ROM. Now I recommend 2 methods to you:
1. Backup efs and put it on your PC if you didn't back it up before. Full wipe your phone using twrp. Then extract the CM13 zip file on your PC then grab the boot.img file to an SD and put it on your phone and flash it using twrp. It will recover the stock CM13 kernel and then try to flash your CM13 zip. Better to download the updated ones. Be sure to use the latest twrp. And always use CM13 official root in developer options, trust me it's better.
2. If you couldn't flash CM13 again the only way I recommend is to flash stock using odin and then flash from the ground and bring your phone up.

It's okay I fixed it. I installed QS i9300 and then re-flashed CM and GApps. But the SuperSU is still bugged
A cursory reading said that CM is auto-rooted on stable versions and there is no stable version of CM 13 for the i9300 yet so I guess that might be the issue. The phone's working fine now, just no root access :3

You read it wrong. It already have internal root. Go to setting--> about device and then tap build number constantly to enable developer settings. There you can find root access options. Turn it on for apps only or adn and apps and done.
Thank me if I helped you.:good:

I already did that.. Root Checker Basic says I do not have proper root access and the TWRP Manager tool also says I do not have root
It is really weird. I'm on i9300 official nightlies and have working root!
I rooted my S3 with this (by m0xx) https://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip
I downloaded the 20160102 Nightly from this website https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300
GApps from this website (ARM, 6.0, Stock) http://opengapps.org/
and TWRP via ODiN with https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys3internationalexynos.html (twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar)
Idk if I did anything wrong or downloaded an older version... I know there's TWRP 2.8.7 but I dunno how to install the img file, I knew tar would be compatible with ODiN

If twrp offers to root then don't do that method. Flash superSU 2.4.6.zip and on reboot you will see the app logo in your drawer or if not there it will be above developer options in settings. Open and allow it to update binary.

Already tried that. SU binary just doesn't update. I even downloaded the Update zip and flashed from recovery, it still asks to update the binary after reboot. There is no TWRP option to update the binary either, it directly goes to the normal method and fails everytime. Tried like 20 times probably
I'd say flash back to stock and start over. Installing siyah probably borked something.

The only reason I installed Siyah was because the binary wasn't installed. Multiple attempts to root didn't fix the issue.
Also I did flash stock ROM because after installing Siyah the phone wouldn't go past the S3 logo screen
What recovery version are you using then?? ??

Personally I would download twrp manager from play store if you havnt already got it. Flash/install twrp 2.8.7.X and boot into the newer twrp and flash superSU 2.4.6.zip. Try that before going back to stock.

Uhm TWRP Manager doesn't work without root. Already tried that
@Joserin, you did your very best to make it complicated. Go back to firmware to get a clean base, as said several times before. Firmware doesn't mean a Touchwiz-based custom-ROM! Download it from sammobile.com and follow the instructions on downloadsite.

Yeah sorry you do need root access. Your probably better of doing what rp158
Said. Your twrp recovery isn't up to date enough to install a new cm13 based ROM.

No root access to S3 when upgraded to CM 13; affecting full access Ext SDcard
Before upgrading to CM 13 for my I 9300 (Int) I was on CM 11 and I had full root access on my device.
In fact I still have that recovery file which I backed up before upgrading to CM 13.
I was able to get root whenever I typed "SU" within the terminal window.
Then CM 13 became available for my device so I upgraded to it by following a few simple steps.
Most Everything works perfectly ...... except for one important problem !
I no longer have root access on my device !!!
Of course the first obvious fix was to try to enable root access by selecting it within the Developer Options to grant root access to Apps and ADB; but that didn't work. And I have tried numerous other possible solutions: reflashing SuperSU2.67, wiping everything clean and reinstalling CM 13 and Gapps from scratch, and other such recommendations but nothing has worked for this problem.
Some of my apps that need to write to the external SD card are unable to work but the apps work if I change the path to the internal storage.
Whenever I need to delete a file from my external SD using ES File Explorer it forces me to go to the CM File manager to approve the deletion.
I am unable to select "Root Access mode" within the CM File manager.
And my little "$" does not change to "#" when I type "SU" in the terminal window.
So all this is definitely a problem with us simply not having root access to our S3 devices.
I really would like to revive this topic because I am pretty sure that Joserin and I are not alone in this one.
The CM 13 is much nicer than the CM 11 and there must be a way to cross this hurdle.
Joserin, please let us know if by chance you have found a solution.
Thanks to all; awaiting your suggestions ......

I flashed QSi9300KK on my phone (with kernel. I forget the name but it was the third option - not Agni or stock) and after that TWRP and then CM13. Everything's working fine now, even root access.
Remember do not pick the first two kernels in the installer, they didn't work correctly. Third one works like a charm.

CM13 Boot loop when installing SuperSU

Hi everyone,
Anyone able to help out here trying to installer SuperSU but just end up with a boot loop of the CyanogenMod logo when installing SuperSU from app store or flashing via TWRP.
Yes I do know that CyanogenMod already has the root option that can be enable under developer options which I have tired but one of the apps I am trying to use needs SuperSU to work correctly.
So is there anyway to get CM13 working with SuperSU?
Flash SuperSU.zip
AFAIK, supersu does not work on CM13.
Really don't tell me that

If it's root you want, you can enable Developers option and in that you will find an option for root.

You need to reflash the ROM. Clean wipe is recommended.

Pokemon Go .37 and custom roms

Has anyone had any luck getting Magisk installed and working on a custom rom yet? I tried it on the CM13 Rom but root would just turn back on within a second. link for Magisk install http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
Thank you
Wait until Magisk V7 is released.
Its states under known issues "HTC One M9 (yes, this particular device): sepolicy issues, should be fixed in v7" .
If you have a twrp backup of a rom that has the last build in it go to the app store and download an apk backup app and backup the pokemon go.apk and reinstall it in a newer rom build and don't do the update. Older version is still working until they finish rolling out the update.
Just to give an update on this....
I used BadBoys rom and I went into SuperSU and did UNINSTALL UNROOT... Which is the first step you need to do for Magisk.... This allowed me to PASS the Safetynet TEST... I can reverse this in moments since I am S-OFF by reinstalling SuperSU and reflash the binary from TWRP
*****So I am under the impression that when Magisk v7 comes out and works for this phone. It "Should" work with BadBoys. Until then I am just reinstalling SuperSU when I need it
I've gotten magisk to boot up once with phh superuser. However as soon as I tried to flash the systemless xposed from twrp. I would get stuck in a boot loop. I was unable to get it to boot up anytime I flash magisk now. I am S on but I don't think that should do anything with the rom.
Magisk works great on my Nexus 7

http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
As you can see above today we still only have Magisk v6 and not v7 which we need to work with this phone model.... I will update again as soon as I can test v7 which they are still working on.

Cant update SuperSU binaries [2.79]

Hello, I have Android 6 Pure IMUI ROM 2.2 and my SuperSU binaries aren't updating.
Whwn I open SuperSU, it displays the update window, I select TWRP and it reboots to recovery.
After a while of installing on recovery, it skips MD5 verification and boots normally, and when I open SuperSU it ask's again that I need to update the binary.
If this helps, Im having this issue on the first update prompt that SuperSU gave me, after installing Magisk app.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you!
