Hey guys I have touch recovery installed and I installed the root.zip packge in recovery but I can't get su persmissions to work.
I have tried adb shell su and I never get prompted. Also I installed RootExplorer to see if maybe su would pop up but nothing.
Any ideas as to why this is not working for me.
I don't want to install a custom ROM. I am trying to debloat my stock rom and create my own rom based off stock. I know there might be stock unbloated roms out there but I want to do that myself. Just a little project.
Thanks
Might try a different root.zip see if it gives root access. Or go to super user app and update binaries.

I did both. When the binary tries to update I get a failed when trying to get root access.

Maybe try cwm non touch...
I'm assuming you're on the ics update... I've seen others have had similar issues. I know you don't want to flash a custom rom. Here is a link to Mr. X's stock rooted roms, bloat included. All he has done is remove ciq. Sorry I can't help more man.

So I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434 and installed superuser and then rebooted my phone. I tried using titanium backup and it says it doesn't have root access. I tried other apps that needed root access and they all said the same. If I have superuser installed, shouldn't I be rooted. What did I do wrong?
You install busy box?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yeah I did, it says, "BusyBox Installer was not allowed root access!"
Try using the stickied (sticky'd?) root guide. It has version 3.0.5 of superuser. I had to use this version and then update via the superuser app.
Wipe cache and dalvik and then flash su

I would just Odin the stock ROM and start all over at this point if I was you. You may have trashed up the system at this point trying to do other stuff.

Alright I figured out my problem. The posted superuser zip was for android 1.6 devices. I found the correct zip and root works. Thanks guys!

use superoneclick, btw, cm10 comes pre-rooted I guess?! maybe theres something corrupt..
you should have installed CWM after you rooted already.

Kill adb.exe and try again

i got same problem.. did you solved it?
It should be already rooted... BTW!?
Ηι, someone was able to do it and how?
I have the same problem, actually this is the 2nd time.
I installed clockwork recovery, flashed cm9, it wasn't rooted.. Tinkered around and it worked. I remember it being fairly simple and therefore I took little notice of what I did.
After screwing my phone up I flashed again.. Now no su access, no root access.. And i cant seem to surpass it. Clockwork works fine, and superoneclick does not
Flashed rom and su patch from maclaw..
If anyone could shed light id be very grateful.

If I remember correctly, cm9 had an option to enable disable root access for apps and adb. Have you checked if you have the right options enabled in the settings ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've tried root apps only and root apps + adb
Also tried disabling root and applying su patch.. Nothing! It sucks cos I hate bloatware. Cm10 was rooted using the dev options in settings, but the rom was too unstable for me
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA Premium HD app
Try following these steps. Might work
1. Flash Stock ROM back.
2. Root the phone.
3. Install Clockwork MOD
4. Then install CM9 RC2 by maclaw
5. After that, install the patch through CWM
These steps worked for me.
It worked for me! Yaay su permission has never felt better
Thank you!

We should all be getting the official Jelly Bean update in the next few weeks from what I've heard. My main question is my GS3 right now is rooted, stock rom, with a custom kernel.
When the official JB comes out can I just update right away or do I have to put the original kernel back on the phone before doing so? Or will the update install a completely new kernel with the JB?
Thanks guys.
Any updates will install Rom kernel radio and recovery

I actually never updated via kies but i believe stock rooted should be fine to update.. correct me if in wrong guys.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can update with root, but unless you use Mobile Odin, voodoo ota rootkeeper, or cwm you will lose root.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Okay thanks for the tips on keeping root. But as I said right now I'm running the Trinity kernel. With the new JB update via OTA or Kies will the kernel also be replaced? Don't want the Trinity kernel on there as it probably won't be compatible with the new JB.
Yes they will be replaced. Everything is written over.. except data, which i recommend to wipe anyways lol

Actually it will probably fail. The ota requires you to be FULL stock. This includes kernel.

Hmm i just thought about that.. how is he running a custom kernel? Must be running a custom recovery and that will fail for sure. Not sure about custom kernel though.

Well, there are a few ways you can get a custom kernel without a custom recovery. Its rare to do so though.
But yeah if the kernrl isnt also matching stock itll surely fail

With my Nexus S when we received the JB ota update I was on a stock rom, rooted with a custom kernel and different radio and the update failed. If I resume..
Rooted with stock rom, custom kernel, different radio = Failed ota
Rooted with stock rom, stock kernel stock radio = Working ota
But I'm no expert, could be different with GS3

Cool, never did any official updates after all this time with android. Good to know lol... but probably never going to officially update anyways. Rather wait for someone to build a rom off it lol

Pretty sure I lost my original backup I created with Root, Stock Rom, Stock Kernel. Does anyone have a link to the STOCK UVALH2 kernel?
You can just use mrRobinson's Stock Rooted and then use the OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot, take the OTA and then restore root.
When my Transformer went through several ICS OTAs, I learned a bit about how updates work. They first do a system check, meaning they look for Stock ROM, Stock Kernel, Stock Recovery (all of which can be found on here), but they also look for specific /system/apps (bloat). If there is something missing then the OTA will fail.
If you flash back to full stock, make sure you don't delete anything from /system or disable it in Settings. I ususally freeze it in TiB and then when taking the OTA, I just defrost them.
If you want to manually unRoot just use terminal and run the below.
Code:
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
reboot
You may need to take su out of xbin if it is in there too. Check before running these codes to see which or both it lies (/bin and*or /xbin)
Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yup.
If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).
Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.
So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

Hey guys sorry if this question has already been answered but I just got a new gs3 from tmo and it had jb pre installed on it and I followed a root guide and for some reason I can't update my binaries it keeps saying failed and in root checker it says I don't have root but superuser is on my phone... Also juice defender says I have root for some reason. Any help?

Try rooting your phone again via Root66 that is much easier than that + its a updated version of rooting and am assuming that recently you just got your phone?
and if your gonna root it again go for the JB version the pre-rooted one.

Use this guide can't fail. Remember to unchecked reboot on Odin. Or you will never have root. Cause when it reboot it reflashes stock recovery u need to flash su before you let it reboot. So after you install cwr with Odin remove battery and boot into recovery and flash su. And ur good to go.
