Alright so here's the deal, installed Clockwork Recovery just fine, transferred CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7 onto phone and installed just fine, went to use Root Checker Pro and this is what i got (screen shots below) so whats my next step and how do i go about it? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
Did you actually root the phone, or did you just download the apps from the market? If you haven't rooted the phone yet, then CWM, and SU won't do you any good as they need root access to perform the needed operations. If you haven't already, refer to this thread for rooting instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 Hope this helps!
Did you get a prompt when you ran Root Checker? It looks like everything's set up fine and you just failed to acknowledge that the app wanted superuser access.
I didnt get any prompts from Root Checker, is it possible thay the .zip file I used was bad or corrupted and simply didnt work? What about trying a different .zip?

When I rooted my phone from superoneclick I got a prompt to install busybox and i installed it.
Now I have unrooted my phone from superonclick but dont know what is the status of the busybox that was installed previously
when i tried to search files using query 'busy' in ASTRO file manager i could see file called busybox in system/xbin folder. Will that affect my warranty? If yes how do i remove it?
Can somebody tell me the checklist for warranty? I have only rooted once from superoneclick, installed clockworkmod recovery, made a backup. Then I uninstalled system restore, unrooted the device and did a factory reset. Anything else is to be done??
What about busybox?
Thank you in advance.
Another quick update. When I tried to root my phone again with superoneclick i got a prompt that the device already rooted. That means the unroot had left some traces. How do I remove that?
why don't u just flash a stock sbf rom??? see cyanogenmod thread for a list of sbf's for ur region...
You should have removed all apps that require root before un-rooting.
Try uninstalling busy box, unroot, followed by root, unroot, just to be sure.
The other option of flashing a full stock sbf would also work.

I don't see any application with name busybox. Only there was a file with that name in the system folder. My only concern is that when I rooted the phone after unrooting it I got a prompt that the phone was already rooted.
I could not delete the file with root access.

flashing is only way to completely remove all root file................
Please know in advance I've read top to bottom and through page after page of post and guide here and on other site before rooting, and I searched before posting this question...
-I rooted my Dinc using Unrevoked3, just this past Saturday.
-I successfully installed Titanium Backup and successfully have used it for back-up.
-I UNsuccessfully did an install of Root Explorer. They told me it sounds like I'm likely not rooted.
-I downloaded ConnectBot, typed Su in the cmd line and received a "Permission denied".
Unrevoked3 and the use of Titanium Backup tell me I am rooted. Root Explorer not getting permission and cmd command tell me I'm not.
Should I simply run the Unrevoked3 process again?
My end goal is to flash a custom rom ideally with better battery life, a better bluetooth (my stock set-up stinks on bt devices) and a different look like CM7.
Here is my software info it if matters:
Android Version 2.2
Baseband 2.15.00.07.28
Kernal Version 2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16
Software 3.26.605.1
I thought I read and re-read and search extensively, much appreciate any help!!

Sounds like you don't have superuser installed. If you do try uninstalling it and download it off the market.

Even if you have it installed, search Superuser in the Market, download/install. Then open the Superuser app itself, hit Menu - Preferences, then scroll down to Su binary vX.Y.Z (X Y Z will be numbers). Touch it and update the su binary, hopefully that'll let you as it'll ask you to "Allow" root access.
I did the update and it failed, twice I'll try the remove and reinstall method next. Thx for the advice.

So Superuser won't even allow for a removal. It was "remove updates", "clear data" or "force stop" only.

I actually remember running into this on my brothers phone a while back. I think I installed busy box off the market and it solved that problem. Not sure if that would work but worth a shot.

Very true, I had a similar issue once trying to uninstall apps, they'd always reappear after reboot. Needed busybox installed which fixed it.
EDIT: Instead of trying to unistall it, go to the Superuser site here, and there's a 3.0.6 flashable zip file that you can flash in ClockworkMod Recovery, maybe give that a try...? But install busybox too as mentioned above by jackbtha1.
Huge thanks for the advice. I installed Busybox and it fixed the problem immediately after I rebooted. I didn't know it was needed because Superuser, in the binary update logged that it had success with busybox, yet I'd never installed it. Alls well, thanks! Odd that Titanium was working on it's own without permissions.
NOW... if anyone wants to hold my hand through flashing a ROM on this thing. It seems many of the walk-thru guides are a year old or the updated process is scattered.
Before you install any roms make a stock backup so you have something to fall back on.

The reason TiB worked was it uses a modified busybox within the app itself, so that's why it worked okay.

Glad to hear everything worked out for you. Now as far as flashing a custom Rom do some research first and make sure you make a back up before flashing anything.
I'm kind of new to Android, but I have decent computing experience. My problem is that I recently rooted my SPH-L710 (stock rom) and when I ran Busybox I received the error message "There was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is improperly rooted. Try removing the superuser/supersu permissions, uninstalling this app," etc etc.
I have attempted various methods using things like root explorer and terminal emulator to remove/ change the permissions so I might delete the su file, to no avail as the phone isn't properly rooted. One thread on here mentioned that formatting the sd card - I assume it meant the phone itself - would do the trick. After that, I would of course have to flash a rom, correct? Thanks for your time.
I would do the rooting process over again, with a new download of all files.
Do you have cwm or another custom recovery working?

I'm running CWM. I've successfully rooted a few times before, but this last time it didn't work. I unrooted and then rooted again three times and even re-downloaded all the files (cwm, odin, rom) but I can't seem to fix this. I'll attempt it again and hopefully it'll take this time.
Fantastic! I flashed the su binary zip, rebooted and superuser was already to go and phone is now properly rooted. Thanks very much! :good:
Thank you!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. I had been having issues trying to get root on my Sprint GS3, and nothing worked until I used that SU.

I rooted my phone and it is temporary only since if I boot my phone, it will be back to normal until I start the root again from the WeakSauce2 app. I am new to rooting so please help me out! I pretty much don't know what to do with this temp root besides downloading rooted apps in play store.
If I were to fully root my phone and do the process, would there be any way to save my files before it wipes my phone?

Sunshine doesn't wipe. You run it and get s-off. Then flash twrp and make a backup.

You are temp rooted. That's it. Can't update binaries because you can't flash anything and because system write protection is still on. You need to s-off as soon as you can of you want to disable system write protection and be able to update binaries, flash a custom recovery and flash a custom Rom.
