Hi every1, I'm new newbie here.
I have a SGS3 GT-I9300, android version 4.0.4, stock rom with CWM flashed.
My problem is I've lost the root access to my device, after I've messed with Android Tweaker Pro.
As soon as i realize this, I undo all tweaks, uninstalled it and reboot. But after rebooting, i can't have root access, btw I use supersu. And I can open it, But no root access. I've granted rom manager root access from the beginning but now rom manager say i'm not rooted.
I have tried re-installing supersu but now it said no SU binary installed.
How do i solve it?
And now my phone is having very low free RAM , just about 130 MB, but i usually have around 200~300MB.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
PS: Please do not post any methods which requires pc to work with, as i have connection problem with pc.
I have CWM backup made before the case occur, do i have to restore it?

Update the SU binary from the SU app itself, open it and go in settings and update the binary. Also do you have Busybox installed from Gooogle Play? If that didn`t work unroot and reflash CF autoroot with Odin.

Yes i have installed, but not from Google Play, cuz Google Play is banned in my country. Supersu shows me that there is no su binary installed, and it just exit. I also have superuser installed, but there is no option for updating the binary in the settings.

Oh, that would be a problem, because I have driver problem (code 43) on my windows 7 PC, having tried almost every method but still came up with device not recognized.
Is there a way to do it entirely on phone? Unroot and re-root again?
And btw will restoring the backup solve the problem?

I f you have a CWM backup that would restore you`re phone to a earlier condition where you did have no root issues. So yes restore that. Look here for the error 43 issue (driver issue) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEovLyoaaGw or google around for error 43.

Thanks for helping me out. I will try restore. I've googled for code 43 issue for numerous time, but it didn't seem to work out. I've tried trouble shooting with Kies, uninstalling kies and reinstalling. Uninstall the device driver from device management. Nothing work out.
I have had a hard time finding the driver of my device for manual installation but I can't find it on by google or by samsung official support page.

Try it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655286 or here for the latest version http://d-h.st/wS4.
So I installed the very very good ROM which is the Slim Saber ROM. However once I install it, I lose my root status and can't edit the weirdly low dpi which came default with my Slim Saber Rom.
When I try to reinstall root access with the ROM active, my phone bricks so it doesn't work. Can someone else help me, perhaps my root method is too old or something? I used the method from wikihow.
Thanks please help meeeh
Perhaps I need the newest Supersu 1.86 version. I'm not quite sure what my old version is, but i'll try flashing this one instead.
All you need to do is go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Root and tick "Apps and abd". root will then be active.
cheers

here is SuperSU 1.86:
http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
if it doesn't work try a custom kernel it will install root directly but first tell me which android version you are running so i can give you the working ones with your ROM.
Sorry for bad english
Edit:i haven't seen heywheelie post before posting this.
Supersu has a backup script which allows it to survive the rom updates.
After flashing Supersu it gives a prompt to enable the script.
So I have a Starmobile Quest which is a local smartphone and I rooted it using a chinese rooting program called iroot, formerly vroot, as suggested by people using the same phone. At first the superuser app(which is a Chinese one) is working fine and I could use apps requiring root access but suddenly, something happened and now it won't give root access to any of the apps. I think, maybe root was somehow removed, and downloaded the root checker app and when I ran it, it told me that I wasn't rooted.
So I unrooted my phone using iroot and it was successful and again rooted it which was again successful. I go and run root checker again and I was surprised to see that I wasn't rooted. From there I repeated the unrooting and rooting process several times and still nothing. What I did notice was that whenever iroot was checking whether my phone was rooted, a pop up would appear on my phone which is from the superuser app asking for permission to give "shell" root access and I would always say yes.
I believe that my phone is actually rooted but the superuser app isn't promting me for root access whenever I use apps that require root, plus there is no log saved except for the "shell" one. I tried changing root access manager app to supersu and when I run it it tells me that it needs to update su binary. I click yes and use the normal method(I don't have cwm) and it tells me it's installing but after awhile I receive an error saying "installation failed. try rebooting.". I reboot my phone and try updating again and it still fails.
I tried everything the internet threw at me, reroot, factory reset, clear data, clear cache, etc and nothing's working. Can someone help me here?
Note: I can't find a stock/custom rom for my device. So flashing roms isn't an option for me.
Bump.

Do you need a custom recovery for that? Because the model of the phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet.
Also, I tried to install supersu from the play store and it didn't work.

Damn it. I guess I'll have to wait till they make a stock rom which I think isn't gonna happen since it's been half a year since the phone is released and there hasn't been any development.
Last question, Is it possible to flash your phone using a computer?

Yes absolutely. Just note that there are no rooting apps on the Play Store. Simply downloading SuperSU or Superuser will NOT root your phone. You need to be rooted first, and if the SuperSU or Superuser app isn't automatically installed, then once you root you can install SuperSU or Superuser to manage apps that require root.
Popular methods of rooting include z4root, framaroot, MTKTools and iroot (or vroot)
Z4root and framaroot are both android applications which you will need to get from their sites or XDA (just run a search). MTKtools and iroot/vroot are computer applications and use ADB. MTKTools can also create a custom recovery for your device, though I don't remember the process too well.
Once you're rooted you will either have your Superuser app installed or you'll have to install it yourself (I personally prefer SuperSU). I also recommend installing busybox as well.
Hope that helps.

So how do I do that?
Hello my buddy so I 've read your thread, there are many apps to do root like root master, framaroot, towel root, towelpieroot. And the way to install super su is doing again the root. And after to install it again.
These apps to do root.

So MTKTools can be found scattered all over XDA, and Framaroot has a dedicated thread (which I cannot link right now as I am on my phone). If memory serves, Jellybean and below had Dev options enabled by default. If not, go to settings -> About Device and tap on the build number several times until your dev options are enabled. Then simply enable USB debugging. When you plug in your device you may need to authenticate your PC to use the Debug bridge. Just hit accept. (I'm sure that you were aware of how to enable ADB but I felt I had to explain anyway)
I assume you have the ADB drivers for your device, but if not, there is a naked USB driver installer floating around XDA (I really would only trust XDA with stuff like this)
With ADB enabled you can use the iroot and MTKTools PC applications. Both are generally straightforward but don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question.
With the APK apps you can get from XDA and abroad, you can root the device somewhat easily.
Framaroot (last time I used it) has four options for rooting (latest version is 1.9.3) you will see all info you need on that thread.
Z4 root I do not recommend. It is somewhat outdated now, though you might want to try it as a last resort
Towelroot is fairly simple as well. Simply download and run the app and you'll either get root or you won't.
My personal recommendations are MTKTools for a pc toolkit (seeing as it can compile a custom recovery too, which it did for my Lenovo S6000)
For apk rooting, I suggest Framaroot. I've never had any problems with it thus far.
I hope that explained it enough but if not, don't hesitate to ask questions. After all, you never learn if you don't ask ^-^
Nevermind guys. I downloaded a bunch of rooting programs and tried them. Root Genius worked and now I have root access. Thanks for replying to this thread.
ReInstall SuperSU and check with Android Terminal Emulator.
Ok dudes just i share this thread, cuz i like to help other dudes that they are juniors or they're beginning .
Hello everybody,
There has been an confusing about the in-build root of LineAgeOS. Wether is is there or not. Well it's only available for ADB. Anyway, I have been browsing the web for a solution and I've come across this site from the Lineage Team that let you download a add-on for Lineage that enables the built-in root.
NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT CHAINFIRE'S SUPERSU ZIP.
If you want SUPERSU go to this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
So I'm not gonna hold you any further.
Here is the link to the site.

Have fun with Root on your unofficial Lineage ROMs and Lineage based ROMs:good:
Greetings,

Another method to get root access is Magisk. I think the system-less root will work nicely with app like Snapchat.

Do a full unroot in SuperSU, it will reboot automatically, just in case reboot again, then install the Root add-on with TRWP or any custom recovery.
Report back if it works:good:

i really appreciate it. i've been getting sideways comments from quite a few individuals concerning this. to elaborate, since the binary update i have absolutely no access to my handset other than with adb shell via a program developed for lg g3 called dp root. the program does not detect root, and since i am boot looping into a lineage os based rom, i figured i would stay away from supersu, since that is the problem. i have to run script into the adb shell to force root. that is the only w ay i will be able to gain root. i cannot boot into recovery since my root got lost. the shell detects the vs985 and also detects android 7.1.1. the rom is octN, which is LOS based.
and to the individual that got nasty because i don't have a j5, i have been trying for days now to find a solution, and if this was j5 specific, which i saw that it was not, i would have looked elsewhere so as to avoid offending anyone for posting on the "wrong thread".
Like magisk hide, iSU can disable or hide the cm-su. Should work with app like Snapchat and Pokemon Go.

no I can't. all I can get is:
1. firmware update screen but the code says it is a g2
or
2.official stock recovery, where, from there it would boot into recovery from factory data reset, but it bypasses that and goes to lg splash screen then boot loop for octos boot screen.
is there a way to bump with adb shell?
here is exactly what happened...
The actions that led to the boot loop were as follows:
1. clean install of rom, gapps, supersu, mr. bump through twrp (clean as in wipe system, data, cache, dalvik)
2. installed all apps backed up to google account through playstore.
3. reset all permissions.
4. verified root and busybox install through root checker app.
5. root checker suggested installation of supersu app for proper functionality
6. installed supersu pro via playstore
7. supersu pro notified of a binary update requirement, binary was updated.
8. reboot from update led to boot loop.
I believe that updating the binary through the supersu pro app without bump caused loss of root, hence the inability to access recovery. I have tried to return to stock with lg software via .tot method. The software doesn't recognize the device. It does recognize a device i have with a bad esn, so the drivers are correct. I can put the device in download mode, but the id that it gives for the device in the box at the bottom of the screen is consistent with lg g2.
I have adb shell access to the device, which is recognized as vs985 with Android 7.1.1., no root detected (dp root lg g3). What i don't have is working knowledge of adb commands and scripts.
I have posted on the supersu thread as well, but as of yet, no one has helped. I get the same "wrong thread go post somewhere else." I figured I might be able to force los root, since it doesn't need bump. I just don't know scripts and can't find any that I would be able to use.

Are you using supersu currently? As far as I know, you need to unroot your phone before flashing Magisk.
You can do it easily by clicking "Unroot" in SuperSU.
If there is some other problem, please provide details.
