Help with ClockworkMod recovery please !

Hello all- I have been trying to install CWM on my SGS for almost 2 days now and am out of my mind. I have installed the "update" .zip file and gone through the motions but keep getting an "installation aborted" message. I have tried using ROM manager and get an error message.
I just want to install Darky's 7.0 ROM but just can't get the ClockworkMod on my mobile first.
Does anyone know what I can do, I'm banging my head against the wall
Thanks very much for any help !!!
Cheers, LL

Have you rooted the phone first?

Hi uk... Thanks for your quick reply;
yes I have rooted the phone. I keep getting an 'installation aborted" and somethin g anout an unverifiable signature for the .zip file !
Cheers, LL-
I guess I can root it again and see what happens.

Can you post your current firmware version and what root method you are using, and do you have Superuser installed?

Okay I just realised that when I put new firmware on yesterday it took away my root an/or superuser permission thing.
I am now ;
Firmware 2 2 1
Baseband i9000xxjpx
I am now assuming I did not back something up ?
Cheers, uk.... LL-

I am on JPU, very similar to JPX... I used Chainfires CF-Root to root the phone, then installed Superuser, then installed ROM Manager, then run ROM Manager, grant it permissions, then select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, Select i9000 and job done...

Cheers for your help uk... I am working on it right now and will report. Im hoping its all good !!!
Thanks again, LL-

if you have recovery 3e you can't install unsigned update.zip.
you need first to revert to recovery 2e

CF-Root by chainfire adds R2e, so if you use it to root you will be good to go

Flash Superuser (Link)

I tried flashing su.zip and it works, however apps are not asking for root permission anymore. Instead they just freeze or say they can't run privileged commands
EDIT: adfree for example will just run as if nothing was wrong, but it doesn't actually update the hostfile, and Superuser doesn't show AdFree in the list of apps
It just seems as if none of the apps are asking for superuser permissions anymore.

Try to clear data and cache from SU. Are you sure you flashed the latest version? See link? If that does not help maybe delete and reinstall.

I finally fixed, you were right, it was an older version. I went on the superuser website and got this version: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
I would post a link but I don't have enough posts.
Flashed in recovery and it works now.
thanks

When you say flash, do you mean through CWM? And if so could I flash a temp CWM so I can just flash this?

How do I 'flash'

with Clockworkmod recovery

I tried to flash through cwm su.zip and gave an error, something with 0 . How do I do it manually?

I tried to install latest version of Super user, but i get error status 0 in CWM.. Help please

How to install cwm recovery? I just flashed my nexus with stock 4.0.4 and flash this kernel..

Check my sig, kids.
Make sure to follow gsm/cdma downloads and you'll be butter.

OK I'm not sure which update broke my root, but I am on IMM67I
I noticed too that in the superuser app there were no requests, and when going into a terminal and typing su I get 'permission denied'.
First port of call was superboot v4.. that hung at the google screen. Then I temp booted CWM and flashed su_ICS_GN.zip...
Once booted still no access in terminal (permission denied), so I deleted su and superuser.apk (how? Surely I need su to delete these?), then flashed again.. exactly the same.
Downloaded the linked file above and got:
Error in Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
(status 0)
installation aborted
Incidentally, this is the same version of su that is in su_ICS_GN.zip
When going into superuser and trying to update the binary, it says 'cant get root'..
Downloaded just the binary only and get exactly the same as above (installation aborted). Looked at the update_script and cannot see anything wrong....
I've just tried to boot an unsecure image so I can push the new su binary.... stuck at the Google screen...
Very confused...
---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------
OK I used the 'Galaxy Nexus Toolkit' which must have an updated insecure image I guess to push the right su binary..
I had to manually get it into bootloader mode as it didnt reboot (even though it detected the phone at adb).... and then the script continued OK..

i have unlocked Sir G nexus , unlocked with odin method by chainfire (after install 4.0.4 my phone get unlcoked fortunately )
i have andoid system recovery <3e> and there is apply update from cache !

[ROOT/UNROOT][Using CWM][For All ROMs]

THIS THREAD IS NOW DISCONTINUED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there! here is CWM flashable rooting and unrooting method..
I'm sure this works on all Android phones with CWM..
Benefits:
- you can unroot custom ROMs
- rooting and unrooting can be done on all ROM with CWM
- you can UNROOT custom ROMs as long as your busybox is installed in /system/xbin
or, if your Superuser.apk, su binary, and BusyBox is old, and you are lazy to update manually, you can do it with this!
NOTE: ONLY USE CWM RECOVERY
HERE'S THE LINK: ROOT and UNROOT
IF YOU RUNNING SOMETHING AS ROOT (SUPERSCRIPT, ETC.), DO NOT UNROOT! YOU MAY GET BRICK
AND UNROOTING MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS ON SOME CUSTOM ROMS.. I'VE WARNED YOU.. I BELIEVE UNROOTING CUSTOM ROMS WON'T HARDBRICK OUR PHONE, BUT IT CAN MAKE YOUR PHONE BOOTLOOP..
SO BEFORE UNROOTING CUSTOM ROMS, NANDROID BACKUP WITH CWM FIRST!
FEATURES: (28 October 2012)
- latest "Superuser.apk" (v3.1.3) (46)
- latest "su binary" (v3.1.1) (17)
- latest "BusyBox" (v1.20.2) and its applets
I WILL UPDATE IF I NOT FORGET AND IF I KNOW THERE'S A NEW UPDATE
TUTORIAL: (for both root and unroot)
- CWM ~> mounts and storage ~> mount /system
- CWM ~> install zip from sdcard ~> find your zip
- reboot
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

This will not break the root in CM9? Please enlighten me. Thank you...

Can you make a version with SuperSu instead of Superuser, please?

Unfortunately this file didn't root my device.
On cwm I install it from the sdcard and no error message is shown.But nothing seems to be installed. No root , no superuser app.
What else can I try ?

what do you mean ?
I've used CWM recovery for lots of purposes on several Android devices in the last 3 years. I've nevere needed to mount /system.
Even for installing a custom ROM.
For this root purpose, shall I need to mount /system ?

yes mr..
when installing ROMs, the system mounted automatically by the script inside the flashable. mine is not

[Q] Root issues on Android 4.0.4 & R800x

Hey guys. This is my first post. Ive been reading the site for years and decided to make an account because i needed some advice. I can usually come here and find what i need which is the case but the info i cant get to work properly. I have found other threads about this but the programs or instructions to get the phone to root do not work. Either the program says its finished and the phone is rooted.. but its not. Other programs simply wont root. SuperOneClick errors at start however i am sure if it doesn't root 2.3.4 that it wont root 4.0.4 so i haven't been to worried about SuperOneClick. I read one forum that mentioned to download and make a folder for Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15. I ran this program and it said it was successful however the phone still doesn't have root. I also tried a program that ran a "runme.bat" file that also said it was successful however the phone still has no root. I found a rootxperia.zip file when installed via CWM said it installed but again, still no root. This is verified in all cases by trying to open busybox with a message that it cant gain root and also with the rootchecker app. My phone is unlocked as you may already know cause i am on 4.0.4 with FXP 2.6.32.9 kernel , 9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-zeusc Cyanogen 9.
I hope thats more than enough info. and i am trying to achieve the best in CM9. Kernel and Mod. If im not using the the best please point me in the right direction. With all the info it was quite easy to get confused. This is the only combination i found to get CM9 working with WIFI. (please no wifi questions. i tried for days to get it to work. it didnt. then when i reinstalled the kernel and mod at a later date.. it just worked. :-\ )

Download the rootXperia zip. Then go into recovery...install from sd... Rooted.
Try installing rom again then the root xperia zip right after.

i tried it already
"I found a rootxperia.zip file when installed via CWM said it installed but again, still no root."
Thanks. Although i tried that and it didnt work. Like i mentioned in my original post.
I am going to re install the mod then install the update exactly after the mod installs.
After clearing all the info in cwm and reinstalling the mod.. then installing the rootxperia.zip file.. i am still not rooted.. so this triple check still shows i have no root.

You cant root 2.3.4 R800x firmware you must downgrade to 2.3.3 with flashtool. Or unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel that enables su automatically. Rootxperia zip only works for 2.3.3 and below.

OK.. how do i know if a custom kernel has SU enabled? I mentioned in the post that i do have the bootloader unlocked and that i am running a kernel/rom of fxp cyanogen9.
I have SU in the app drawer but busybox and root checker both say im not rooted.

You may have to update the su app from the gplay store. Then update the binaries... Inside the su app

[Q] Best/Easiest/Most-stable Way to Root GS4 Mini Duos I9192 in 4.2.2

Hello there,
I come from a Jailbroken iphone 5 on is 8.1 (which is broken now), and moved to a Galaxy S4 Mini Duos I9192 on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with XXUBNB1. I'm really a newbie on android and would like to root my phone.
SRSroot didn't work, neither Kingo App (1.3.3) that put me into download mode for an undetermined time, I was afraid to brick it, so I stopped it.
I've also tried TowelRoot, but it does'nt work with Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I'd like to try CF AutoRoot, but I'm not sure that it will work with my baseband XXUBNB1.
There's an alternative: the Rootkit one, but i've read somewhere, that it messes the wifi and the GPS.
I don't know how to choose/Flash/Modify/Find Kernels.
I never used Odin neither.
I really really don't care about Tripping KNOX, and voiding warranty, because Samsung-Algeria does'nt control it at all.
So, my question is:
Is there an easy/stable method to root my phone on 4.2.2? a One-click-Root Tool will be OK.
Thank you so much for your answers in advance.

SEARCH PLEASE. For god's sake.

In this thread is all you need for first root and recovery:

Hi, I'm not a newbie in Forums, I'm an admin of a 60.000 member medical Forum, I'm only a newbie in the Android World ... and I'm always repeting the same sentence of yours : Please Use the search button before asking.
Well, I've - of course - searched here and found This link, but nowhere it's said that it's for Jelly bean 4.2.2.
Plus, somepeople said that Wifi and Gsm signal (unable to detect mobile signal) issues are happening with this method (if you're presuming it, working with 4.2.2)
Other reported that this method will not work with my baseband: XXUBNB1.
That's why I asked my question in a precise way : I want to root, and have a fully fonctionnal phone
Whatever... What do you guys think about this method, should I trust it or not? thanx for being kind

Yes it's completely safe, but as I said use latest recovery by arco and that rootkits v3, remember you must boot recovery on first reboot after flash.
Best way is to hold the phone ready to push home+vol up once the phone vibrates, then flash rootkit.
By the way this method will trigger Knox (voiding warranty) if you're on Knox bootloader, if your download screen has the word knox 0x0 your bootloader is knox.

Hmmm, I'm really hesitating.
What if I upgrade my phone with Odin to Kitkat 4.4.2, then root it with CF AutoRoot from ChainFire... ? is it Doable? Does CF Autoroot working with all firmewares? Will My baseband change (does it even matter?)
Here is a list of Stock Firmewares, whichBuild should I pick?

Hello,
1- I used the Rootkit V3 (SCRAB) and the CWM recovery 6.0.5.1 on JB 4.2.2
2- Now I'm rooted, but I can't update Su Binary, and I have multiple notification about some apps I gave the root permissions.
3- I've Renamed the 3 KNOXfiles and the ContainerAgent file with the ADB shell.
4- Reflashed the Rootkit v3 like Scrab said
The same problem remains: no SU binary update + multiple notifications + apps requiring root not working at all.
5-Also The KNOX disabler apk 1.01 didn't work!
Shoud I replace CWM recovery with Philz touch recovery, and Re-root it, and if yes, how shoud I do it.
Unrooting through Supersu (already updated) does'nt work at all.
Can I back to my stock firmeware JB 4.2.2 or upgrade to a Kitkat 4.4.2 ? and how.?
Or should I put The most stable Custom Rom through CWMRecovery? which one? a link please?
My phone is really unstable and my apps are not working correctely. I won't root again ever ever ever...
I need to fix this quickly, thanks in advance please.

Try to force close the knox notification then open supersu

Well,
I finally resolved the problem:
Here's what you can do to avoid KNOX Disturbing your Root process on an I9192:
1- Install CWM and Root it with RootKit v3 by scrab just like in his tutorial.
2- Disable Knox application .apk and .odex by renaming them using ADB shell, just like in his tutorial.
3- Install the latest i9192 Philz touch Recovery through CWM Recovery, and reboot in recovery mode, you'll be in the menu of your new Philz touch Recovery
4- Reinstall Rootkitv3 via Philz Touch Recovery
5- Without quitting Philz Touch, Re-root the device.
6- reboot normally, and install a fresh supersu directely from the playstore.
7- Updating the binary will success
8- You're done
Now my device is stable and normally rooted (checked with Root Cheker)
I hope it helps
