So I rooted my tablet today in the morning, and has been discovering new stuff with root all the day it's night now. And I tried custom root (crdroid),
And it was pain in the ass. 1- wiped everything using the advanced tool (data,cache 1, cache 2, system) and used the
(Tabs3_oreo_forced+encryption_disabler).zip flashed it then flashed SuperSU, booted into it, explored for 2 hours noticed no SuperSU, wanted to go back to download mode but serial image shoed on screen and in the middle was: {Press home key to go into download mode} did that then got to twrp and wanted to install supersu but couldn't mount data, tried million combination of magisk the disabler and supersu but it's either: run vanilla crdroid, (without google service and stuff and couldn't download thanks to the loop) get data unmounted, get stuck on the screen saying: (tab s3 by Samsung blah blah) so I'm hoping to get back to the original firmware, which I'm downloading it now (region: iraq) but after I get back to original I'm gonna root it (because it worked flawlessly then, I can do that) but any help on how to install main firmware, should I just twrp the install ? Or can you guys give another way ?

Hi thanks for the reply it has been a really long loooooong time since i checked xda on my account, and I'm happy to say I'm now a master in custom roms and rooting, currently trying to port s-pen functions, and fix the damn camera problem with custom roms on this particular device. Thanks again.

Hello,
These past two days have not been a good day for my phone lol. Some background:
BEFORE:
I had a 4.4.4 Custom ROM [Forgot the name...]
TWRP: 2.5.0.2
AFTER:
I clean flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-0-nightlies-verizon-t2998057
I cleared cache + Dalvik after the flash and it asked me if I wanted to fix root (From what I read before, you're never supposed to press Fix, rather you're supposed to prses Do not Fix and you'll still keep your root.
However, I accidentally pressed Fix Root and Now I lost my root. The ROM I flashed is glitchy because from what I read is because I have TWRP 2.5.0.2.
Now I'm stuck on this ROM, I have no idea how to upgrade to the latest TWRP and don't know how to get my root back . [Can't get TWRP Manager because I don't have Google apps (I tried flashing the GAPPS by Paranoid but it keeps crashing because I think it's the outdated TWRP)]. I tried to download TWRP manager on my phone via another site, but it doesn't install on my phone for some weird reason.
Thank you,
Jerry
Download, install and run the towelroot.apk file. This will root your phone, takes about 2 minutes
So I just successfully installed CM13 on my i9300. Everything works fine, but I just found out I lost root rights.
I went and downloaded the Super SU app from the PlayStore, launched it and that gave an error that there's no SU binary installed and I need to manually root again.
So I downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip, put it on the sdcard, rebooted into CWM Recovery, installed the zip and booted back into the system (when prompted to fix boot I selected no as recommended), but now I STILL HAVE NO ROOT RIGHTS and the Super SU app still gives the same error.
Is there a specific SuperSU.zip I should be installing in recovery to make it work?
Or is something wrong with the recovery and do I need to flash that through Odin? (I don't think this is the case though, as flashing CM13 and gapps went completely fine)
Thanks for any isnight and tips

In Developer Options I have set Root Access to Apps and ADB it didn't give any error, but doesn't seem to be doing anything either... In file manager I can't reach root, Root Checker app fails, Super SU gives than binary error, and another app that requires Root Access says I don't have it as well..

I got the same problem. I tried to root with odin again but it didnt work...
Flash cm13, wipe data and cache and flash cm13 again. Cm13 should be pre rooted.

Hi Guys, I have the same problem too after CM13. Unfortunately rooting again with ODIN flashed stock recovery back and am stuck on CM13 now with no root and stock recovery. Can someone help please? Below is the detailed description of what happened.
----------------------------
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
same here after rooting once cm13 by developer option, for some reason i had to use hide my root app, now unable to get root back
Its a problem with the s3, it forgets root. The most reliable is chainfire and sticking with a stock rom.
You must:
Wipe to factory,
flash an original rom via odin,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory again,
Flash original rom again,
Boot straight to recovery and wipe to factory,
Allow the phone to boot.
You must flash at least twice and reset to factory at least twice, even tho I sad it thrice, to kill all remnants of the old rooted rom.
Then you can flash chainfire via odin and go from there.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Dear All,
Sorry if am re-posting the same, and as am new here and need an urgent help, started this thread.

I belive you need to flash the stock 4.3 jellybean rom with odin, and root it afterwards.

You need a recent version of twrp recovery

TWRP 3.0.0..???????????
First of all.. Update TWRP to 3.0.2, you are NOT supposed to see the message that tells you that root is gone, as (official) CM13 includes root from now on.
For root, inside Android go to Settings > Developer Options > Root > Only apps.
Do it via Odin as only 3.0.2 is available in a .tar file (latest version), should not be hard.
Not only that, but upgrading from CM11 to CM13 is not recommended, as it causes multiple compatibility issues with installed apps (afaik).
You are better off with wiping it all and install CM13 Clean, and if you decide to; you must also flash Gapps (optional) directly after CM13 (no reboot).

SGS3 I9300: Root and Custom Recovery lost after CM13 - SOLVED
Dear All,
Thank you for your valuable advice and suggestions. I used ODIN to flash back to stock ROM and now everything works as it is like out of the box. I will root again perhaps in a few days and the flash the stable release of CyanogenMod. Will keep you posted. I wish the Android M snapshot is released by then.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Shiva
Hey, new here....
So a while back a rooted my phone, which I followed a tutorial and all was fine, my phone has been fine. But today I decided I didn't want it rooted anymore and just wanted a clean install asif the phone was brand new, so I went into backup in settings and pressed complete system reboot and confirmed...
Then after a few minutes it send med to my team win recovery project recovery (the custom recovery I had flashed in order to root)
And so on there I reinstalled backup...
But now basically im stuck in a total loop where it will not let me do anything except load up twrp! =(
Even when I switch off and back on just straight to twrp... I have done "wipe" option, done "restore" option to no avail.
I want to get rid of twrp and just clean install nougat, is there anway I can do or have I ruined my phone?
Many thanks anyone who can help...

All you got to do is download sp_flash tool latest version, load the scatter file of rom, then simply go to options and then click to Connection, set usb speed to full speed, and Battery to w/o battery. Then make sure you have selected all the files needed to flash, next click the start button and connect your elephone while holding the volume + button. It will take a quite while but it will be successful.
Phone: LG Aristo MS210 (Metro PCS)
Bootloader: TWRP 3.0.3.0
So let me explain. I was just figuring out how to root the LG Aristo since I had never done it with a custom ROM. Yes, true story. Anyway, I was happy I got it working perfectly until I rebooted my phone. When I rebooted it, SuperSU was gone. I tried going to the play store and redownloading it, but I got an error code -504, and the thing is, I couldn't download any apps. ANY. I decided to look the error code up and I can't find anything on it. I tried multiple times doing multiple different things. From factory resetting, reflashing SuperSU, to factory resetting and then flashing SuperSU, wiping dalvik-cache along with everything except for system. It didn't work and I thought I could get it working.. Well... this next part I really messed up on. I decided to wipe everything. I selected all options and slid the cursor and it failed. The wipe failed. It said "E: /sdcard1 unable to partition" or something like that. I noticed that when I was wiping earlier the internal storage was also called that, and the funny thing is I have no microSD card in my phone. So. :/
Now when I boot I'm stuck on the LG splash screen and nothing else happens. I tried recovery mode (without ADB) with the power button + vol down key as I read here: (I'd post link but I'm a new member) that's how you get into recovery/factory reset. I'd use ADB to get into recovery, but since I just wiped the system, I don't have USB debugging enabled. I tried anyway and I gotta say this is my worst nightmare as I'm too young to get a job, (15 yrs. old) so I can't get a phone. :/ Oh, and if this can be useful: I know it connects to my PC over USB because I hear the sound it makes when a new device is connected. Is there any way I can use that to unbrick it?
EDIT 9/10/2017 9:31 PM (Eastern Time): I managed to get into twrp. I'm currently looking online for how to flash android 7.0 nougat (OS it originally had)

Hi,
Well the only way to fix this is that u need to be able to boot into recovery.
If u tried booting into recovery by holding the power and vol+/- and u end up booting to the boot logo, then recovery is also wiped.
In this case, u will need to check if u have access to fastboot. If so then obtain the twrp recovery for ur device and flash it then tried booting into recovery using the appropriate keys.
When I get time, I will research ur device for any recovery tool and stuff.
