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

ROm Manager not work according to hundreds of posts .
CWM backup .
I can't use Odin v1.85 because I'm getting stuck on Setupconnection.

Use mobile odin to flash CF-Root.

i used this C4Etech's guide "how to root the htc one (safestmethod.." on youtube to root the phone.
i dl all files from the description and did it like him. when i finised i checked if SU app was working. it wasnt so i found another SU file and installed it. root checker app said the phone was rooted so i dl-ed the latest android revolution file from the topic and installed the rom.
after i installed the rom it said that root acces wasnt configured and asked if i wanted to configure root acces or leave it as is.
i tried it two time. 1st time i rooted it 2nd time i didnt both times i ended up stuck on the boot screen. basically im stuck with no root acces at the end of rom instalation. sry im still a noob si i cant explain much better.
i wiped the dalvik cache and factory reset and the third one before i installed the rom.
can anyone tell me where i went wrong and how to fix it?
Hi guys,
I rooted my phone a month ago using Kingo Root, it works fine. So I un-rooted now and restarted the phone and it says "custom" when I go to Settings - Status, etc.. I factory reset the phone and it still says custom! weird.
I don't know why this is happening, when I had an S4 and used Kingo Root to root it says custom but upon un-rooting the phone returned to Normal.
Does anyone have a stock recovery img to flash? or a way to solve this? I would like to be able to check for updates.
I have the C101 International version.
Thanks
Have you tried installing a stock ROM with Odin software? It should resolve the problem! have you tried it?
Hello! I am an extremely newbie in rooting so this is my issue. I just rooted my S4 I9505XXUGNH8. I used odin and the root file from chainfire. It passed. So I thought there' s no problem but after 5 hours or so, when I lock my phone it restarts. Plus my bluetooth won't turn on. So I saw this option in SuperSU that I presumed will unroot my phone. I clicked it and say yes. I restarted my phone, the said app was not there anymore. Checked root checker and it says no proper root access or something like that so I thought I already unrooted my phone. I tried even SRS Root, it says that my device has no root. But the issues were still there. I tried to create new file from my sd card so I was expecting it will not work because of that Kitkat sd card restriction stuff but it worked. I tried to update my firmware but the phone didn't allow me because it was modified. So reinstall SuperSU again, and it says SU Binary not found, like that. Now I really have no idea what to do. Please help me. Thanks and sorry for my novel like post.

Seems like you might have used the auto root package from another firmware version as this sounds like some kernel issues. Since you know Odin works, then you can just reset and reinstall the NH8. This will get everything backup and running again (you can try not wiping, but possible issues can arise from this too - fair warning and best to backup internal storage to PC for safe keeping). As far as rooting goes afterwards, put Chainfire's SuperSU zip on your phone, find an updated custom recovery such as TWRP, Philz, or CWM and install via Odin. Once installed, you must immediately boot to recovery before the OS loads so you can use the recovery to install the zip or the stock system will rewrite the original recovery to it. Then you will be rooted with no other changes to the phone that could affect functionality or usability.

Hello, i'm pretty new on those things, but i'm not sure if it's my mistake or something else. I have Samsung Galaxy Mega Plus (GT-9152P, chinesse phone). I had it rooted before (it worked well with kingo root). Last days I wanted to install on it some custom rom and I got my phone a little bricked, so I installed back his stock rom.(Android 4.3 jb). From that moment I wasn't able to root it anymore and I also can't install any custom recovery. Does this mean it has locked bootloader? And if that's the reason what can I do to root it and install a custom recovery. I really need that because it don't have any google apps and it won't let me install/use them.
