Can anyone help me get root to install on my device? I ODIN'd Chris41g's "[ACS][KERNEL][ODIN] Stock Pulled Repacked with CWM5 ****Updated 10/28****" with no problem and got CWM installed, did a nandroid backup and all is well. No matter which version of the SU zip I try to flash next though, it fails. I get an error message reporting a failure and Status 0. I have tried the folowing versions of SU:
update-su-3.0.zip
Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
All have failed with the same error message. I am clearly missing a step out somewhere, anyone spot what it is?!
Thanks for any tips.
This may be a roundabout way to get root, but I first odined another, rooted kernel, then Chris's. The root stayed after flashing his kernel.
Did u check to see if u have root? Sometimes it fails but still give root?

You can probably just install Superuser from the market.

I saw a couple of people mention that and it definitely wasn't rooted, the Wireless Tether app wouldn't start up because it said I wasn't rooted

Well that's what I thought, and it installed fine. The Superuser app will open, but nothing that requires root will work.

no, doesn't matter since you'll be flashing chris's right over it. i had several of zedomax's kernels before going to Chris's.

Great, thanks for the tip! I used the LoStkernel and then flashed Chris' over the top and I have root and CWM! Next up is the NoCIQ mod and I am 90% there.
I can't get the Wireless Tether app to work properly, but at least it starts and doesn't complain I have no root, so I just need to work that out.
Thanks for your help.
**EDIT** Used the latest beta of Wifi Tether for Root users (3.1beta6) and it works fine, can't encrypt the connection, but I can tether, using 3 or 4G.
If you want to overclock try Tegrak, then you're all set.

I keep losing root access after flashing 2.3.3 roms. I have some 2.3.3 roms in recovery that work fine. Is it required to flash a new superuser when I flash a new rom setup? If so what order do i flash? 1 flash formatt all zip 2 flash rom 3 flash kernel 3 flash gapps 4 flash gps fix .zip??? I Originally rooted using unrevoked 3 then ran CM6 snap to CM7 to OMGB Fresh ect. no problem. Now some GB roms CM7.1.0 and numerous Sense roms come up after flash no ROOT access.
You have to go to the SU app and enable permissions. You're not losing root.
If SU isn't baked into the rom that you flash, you have to get it from market like hip kat said

I installed the rooted ROM at [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter [SPR L710VPALEN] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774722), although I stopped before installing CWM.
It appears I don't have root. I even try to let Superuser update itself from a 3.0.x version to 3.1.1. I am never prompted to grant root access, and it eventually says "Superuser has been denied Superuser permissions".
If Superuser itself cannot get root, then how can this be called a rooted ROM?
P.S., I would have posted in the thread, but I am apparently too much of a n00b per the forum settings.
I know this doesn't help you, but Superuser worked fine for me after using the same method. All I can suggest is to try flashing it again.
Edit: make sure you don't have both Superuser and SuperSU installed. They can conflict with each other.

I only have Superuser installed. It's what came with the ROM. I haven't installed anything else since doing the ROM.
I already flashed twice, got the same results each time.
However, after the flash but before it started installing updates, I ran Superuser, clicked Info, and the entire line above tap to check for updates was green. However, after allowing the first update to install, the line had the left side red:
-rwxr-xr-x root shell /system/xbin/su
It was the same after the third update. I wonder if something about those two updates is disabling root?

Thanks. Just to make sure, are you saying that the original instructions (in the thread linked at top) are wrong to suggest you have a rooted ROM if you haven't installed CWM?

CWM is used to install root and rooted roms. I have root for my wifes phone but I do not have CWM and all works fine. She actually would never use recovery but I do know how to flash one on there if necessary.
I am quite sure the tutorial is not incorrect and just a misunderstanding somewhere

I'm scratching my head because there's not much to misunderstand here. The instructions are simple; either you've installed the ROM or you haven't. Since Superuser appeared for the first time after installing the ROM, and the phone prompted me to install two updates after installing, that tells me that the ROM installed correctly.
Wonderful. Just followed the instructions for installing CWM that were linked from http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...ot-l710vpalen-stock-rom-flash-counter-103351/. Not only did that not give me a working copy of CWM, that also made CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD report Yes (1 counts).

I see what your problem is. You're taking the OTA updates. Those erase /system/bin/su and unroot you. Before you take either OTA, install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from the Play Store, and back up your root. Then take both updates, reopen, Rootkeeper, and restore root.
No CWM needed.

YOU ARE CORRECT! I'll add that to the comments of http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...ot-l710vpalen-stock-rom-flash-counter-103351/. Thank you for the help.
EDIT: Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper doesn't work. More details later.
Bad news: While it is correct that the OTA updates are killing my root, Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper won't work. Even with it installed,
When you start the app, it says it is "useless" for "Samsung phones updated via KIES or Odin...".
Will check on alternatives.

I tried once using the instructions at .http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sph-l710-sprint-clockworkmod-recovery-99305/. Not only did it not install, it incremented my binary counter. Fortunately I was able to use Triangle Away to reset that.
I'm still not clear how CWM will help me. This is supposed to be a rooted ROM already. Not sure why I would need CWM.

OK, I tried it, and it appears to work. I had to use Triangle Away to get rid of the binary counter increment.
It's important to note that I only got this to work by not using the "No Tripping Flash Counter" ROM.

So I upgraded to Jelly Bean using the OTA on Rogers. I used Voodoo to maintain my root access but it only seemed to preserve it for the apps that already had access. I was trying to flash CWM on the phone today only to find out root is broken.
What is the easiest way for me to regain root access? I uninstalled SuperUser and reinstalled it without any luck. Now the root apps like TiBu that were working before are no longer working.
I need some guidance on how I should proceed to get it back. I really don't want to have to wipe all my data if that can be avoided. I was able to install CWM using ADB. But I'd rather have my root functionality restored in my TW ROM so that I can make a proper backup before beginning to flash custom ROMs.
My details are in my sig. Thank you.
Just re-root it. You don't uninstall and re-install Superuser.

Would you think the best course of action is to flash the SuperSu.zip via CWM or reload the OS on top using Odin/MrRobinson's method and have it repair what's broken?
I noticed my flash counter is now showing 1, don't know how that happened.

I would try rerooting get latest CWM and SU, flash SU, then before you reboot go into advance fix permissions, reboot go into SU and fix binaries.
Back up before all this, just in case.

Thank you for the reply. I will attempt this once I get home. I was able to make a CWM backup last night. But I noticed that CWM was overwritten with the stock recovery once I rebooted, is it safe to set that option within CWM to make it set itself as the default recovery?

No problem, CWM should be the default recovery. And when you go to restore make sure you choose the backup you created with CWM.

It doesn't stick. Turns out the stock recovery is set to reload itself at each boot. This is the fix:
You will need to rename or delete these two files.

I was recently asked to post some threads here on XDA with the tutorials I have on my site. As time permits I will be posting a series of threads here to the Q&A section that will hopefully answer most questions that might come up.
If you can't find your answer in one of my threads I would highly recommend BluesRulez One Stop FAQ Thread. It is an awesome resource and has answers to just about every question I've seen come up!
__________________
This thread details the process of how to root your device without having to flash a full stock ROM. This method works for the Sprint, Boost and Virgin Samsung Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710, SPH-D710BST and SPH-D710VMUB).
This method uses an Odin One-Click Kernel to install a kernel that includes a Custom Recovery. Once booted into the Custom Recovery you can then flash Superuser which will root your phone and give you Superuser access.
Prerequisites:
A PC running Windows with the Samsung Mobile Drivers Installed. The Samsung Mobile Drivers are available here.
Any One-Click Kernel (preferably from the Android version you will be using, i.e. GB, ICS or JB).
All Sprint One-Click Recovery kernels can be found here.
For this particular tutorial I used the following kernels:
Gingerbread: Chris41g's EL26 Stock CWM5 Repack
Ice Cream Sandwich: Agat63's tFI27 Stock Recovery Repack (rev 2)
Jelly Bean: Agat63's Source-Built GB27 Recovery
Superuser (or SuperSU, MIUI Security, and etc) in a flashable zip, saved on your Internal or External SD Card. For this method I used SuperSU v1.25 (but any SU in a flashable ZIP should work). You can download several different versions here.
Although not required it is recommended that you have Samsung Kies installed on your PC as well. You can download Samsung Kies here.
Side-Effects:
This method will trigger the Yellow Triangle upon start-up and will increase your Odin count.
It will also change your startup screen to look like the International GS2 startup screen.
Both of these side-effects are very easy to overcome due to the hard work of Chainfire and Garwynn. You can get TriangleAway from Chainfire's thread here.
For the rest of the tutorial please visit my site: www.rwilco12.com
Enjoy!

You might have to turn SU on depending on which version you flashed. Open the app and see if under settings you see something like "Enable SuperUser" and make sure it's enabled.
If that doesn't fix it we may need to try another zip with a different set of symlinks. Either way, we're here for you and will get you squared away.

If you're asking - Can I flash VM builds on the Sprint D710, the answer is - yes. Did it when I tested the builds and everything worked properly.
If you're asking - Can I flash a VM build and be on VM service? Obviously you'll need to be activated to their service and provisioned properly. That's when you'd need to make sure that mmsc/apn/nv data is captured. I don't know if VM is a byod provider. (write that shiz down)

Yes. Many, many people have used this method successfully.
There's nothing wrong with a stock kernel, it just doesn't have a custom recovery packed into it or any kernel tweaks.
But I am confused... If you're already rooted why are you pulling your hair out?

K. Before you dive in too much further I would recommend doing a little more research. This device had had issues in the past that have made it very easy to brick. You should be very careful.
As a side note - This thread is a how to root thread but it sounds like you're already rooted. I don't know that there's any reason to reroot your device. You don't actually have to be rooted to get on JB either. You could just flash a one-click of a JB ROM.
I download gb08 stock restore and flashed that yesterday and i thought that was rooted but it wasnt so i went back and downloaded the rooted version and flashed it...Then i download root explorer and realize superuser is denying everything by itself.. I tried downloading SuperSU but its getting denied too.. I tried resetting superuser data and tried making it so that it accepts everything that asks it...
So why is this happening? is root broken?

If you read the threads you will see that there is an issue with it at the moment. Garwynn is aware of the issues as well as everyone else who flashed it and is working on fixing it.:thumbup:

The new One-Clicks that came out this morning fix this problem.
