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.

Thank you!
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?
Also, that would mean http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...ot-l710vpalen-stock-rom-flash-counter-103351/ is incorrect.

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.

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?

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've looked around and cannot find a solution specific to my issue. If someone can direct me to where I can find a solution I would be grateful.
I have a Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S) and have CWM on it. I recently did a factory reset of the phone and after resetting, Titanium Backup (not Pro) is stuck on the "asking for root rights...." screen, even after Superuser Elite asks to allow it.
I've seen things that say to uninstall the updates to SU and I've tried that. I've tried uninstalling SU Elite and Titanium Backup then reinstalling and I can't figure it out.
I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to this, and brand new to this site so I'm hoping someone can help me with this while walking me through it if need be.
Thank you greatly.

That's what I was thinking, but once I booted up my phone after the factory reset, superuser was still there. Doesn't that mean my phone is still rooted? Not to mention, I've booted up cwm a bunch still after the reset? I'm confused.

Awesome idea, I wasn't aware. However, I downloaded it, ran it and it verified my root access with no issues. HMPH. I have no idea what to do.
DEFINITELY A RE-ROOT, I say.
Superuser is just an app managing "ALLOWs" and "DENYs". The real issue should be that you lost/broke your su binary in /system/xbin... If you have CWM then easily recover by flashing the latest SU zip package found at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ . Good luck

Team Epic has a CWM flashable that should also clear any binary remnants and get you back rooted the right way.. You can then flash TWRP and all that afterwards if you want.

Well, you have all been a big help. I downloaded this latest su zip and was about to see if it was the issue. Right before I did that, I said "what the hell" and tried flashing via rom manager one more time. You guessed it, it worked. All the headaches for no apparent reason. However, I thank everyone. I'm a new member to the site and it's refreshing to see many try and come to your aid.
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.

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:

Install TWRP 2.5.0.0 with Odin, boot into TWRP and press reboot and then system. You should get a prompt to install SuperSU. After that you boot your phone, open SuperSU and let it update. That should do it. You can get the latest TWRP tar file here:

Ok,
I know this is a hot question but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Stupidly, in hindsight, I let KIES update my SGH-I747M to 4.3. After it rebooted, SuperSU/Triangle Away, etc would not load or work. So, I tried using ODIN to put 4.1.2 back on but all attempts have failed so far as my counters are now at 3 and state is custom. Normally , I would run TriangleAway and all would be good. But SuperSU will no longer load and stick around so that I can run TriangleAway. I have not tried any other custom ROMs yet.
I have also used the latest SuperSU v1.80 but it does not stay installed and I cannot use Triangle Away to reset the counters. Anyone have any ideas on how to get SuperSU to work? That would allow me to reset the warnings and all would be great.

You have to re root your phone. Use cf auto root and when that's done find superSU in the play store and install/update it. Then open SUPERSU and when it asks you to disable knox say yes. Also update its binaries. Now you have root and you can use any root application you want.
