[Q] su binary - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I ODIN the tar to get the OUDHS Custom Recovery, which is fine, but it didn't put the su binary, and thats why my superuser app is unable to provide the root access.
is there a separate zip file which let me just flash the su binay?

[Q] I have superuser installed on android 4.0.4 but I still can't get root access?

I rooted my phone at 4.0.2, then applied the update up to 4.0.4 and am still able to flash new versions of clockwork mod through rom manager... However, all my other apps won't be granted root access. In the superuser application, I'm running superuser v3.0.7(41) and my Su binary is at v3.0.3, for which there is an update available. However, when I try to apply the update, it tries to ask for root privileges and gets denied access... I tried reflashing su.zip through clockwork mod touch but I guess I may be flashing an outdated su.zip? Any insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated!
Same here
Same exact scenario, I went from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4, and even after a factory restore I cant seem to get root access for any app. I checked the bootloader, and I still am rooted.
Help appreciated for us both!
try this zip...flash in recovery
http://www.box.com/s/jvcf196j7x8f8vrc9cyt
this worked for me....
if it doesn't clear superuser data first then try it again.

CWM Recovery is not working for me, and I cant flash it due to no permission for elevated commands although its rooted.
Clockwork recovery does not require root if it is already installed. If not, fastboot clockwork recovery.
I had the same issue and all you have to do is reroot the phone and all will be well then download and install ota rootkeeper for the future. The update breaks root but doesn't block it

This did the trick!
Had this same problem earlier
I need help
I am having the same problem. I am a noob and it sucks cause I can't figure it out. I can't even go into recovery since I installed 4.0.4 someone please dumb it down so i can understand
Install busybox free, then install titanium backup free. Open busybox and click inatall. Then run
Titanium backup, it will ask you do you want it to configure root, accept this. please note After completing busybox steps reboot. Then after titanium backup steps reboot again
Did this help?
If not pm me and il see if i can help
I can't use any of my root apps. My SU isn't working. I'm pretty sure that's causing the problem. I tried updating the binary (I read that somewhere) but the process fails. Is there a way I can do it manually?

Do you have CWM installed yet?
If not...
I'd recommend simply starting from the top and using my guide.
But if you have CWM:
Just navigate to "Install Zip From SD Card"
"Choose Zip"
And find it.
Yes to install.
I tried going to clockworkmod recovery but I just get that error. Last night I went into recovery using the cmd on my computer. I tried flashing that same file but it just failed.

boot to clockworkmod manually, than flash the superuser zip from here http://www.box.com/s/jvcf196j7x8f8vrc9cyt (this does not require busybox, that why the other su zip was failing)
I can't go to recovery from my phone. When I try I just get the Droid with a red exclamation point. I'll have to do it from a computer. Only problem is that I'm at work. I'll see if I can get to one ASAP

That is the stock recovery that you're getting to.
Use my guide.
And navigate to the part about flashing a custom (CWM) recovery and flashing SU.
The SU in my post is updated to work for all users...the one you're using won't work on 4.0.4.

but i think the su zip in ur post, only work if there is busybox installed...and the stock rom doesn't have it...
this the updater-script of ur su.zip: run_program("/sbin/busybox"...
that work only on custom roms, that usually have busybox preinstalled
check the different syntax in the other su zip posted above, it doesn't require busybox

nope, he was getting a permissions error because rom manager didn't have root access, that was the issue there.
edit: re-read the post, yes, you might be right about busybox in stock recovery, although i believe cwm has a set of minimal busybox tools.
if manually booting into recovery by shutting down the phone, pressing power+vol up until Google screen appears, doesn't take him to cwm but to stock recovery, he doesn't even have cwm installed, which could very well be the case, since stock rom default behaviour overrides any existing recovery when flashing.

Lost my root?

I rooted my phone like 30 minutes before the latest update came out (LG2) and when a friend was playing with it, he updated it. Now it appears I do not have root anymore. How can I get this back so I can flash the CM10 rom on here? If I open super user my first 2 sets of data under "su binary v3.1" are red and then the 3rd item which is /system/xbin/su is green. Let me know if there is any other data I can provide to help assist. Thank you so much!
I lost root last week, titanium backup failed, super user was denied access etc. I tried to update binaries but that didn't work either. However when I booted into recovery it was still clockwork recovery not stock. So all I had to do to regain root was to flash the cwm_superuser zip then the latest teamepic-root-from-recovery zip. It worked for me. If you boot into recovery and it's the stock recovery then my guess is you will probably need to reroot via the Odin method.

I have CWM installed and i can do the volume,home button, power on button and load into it, but whenever i run any package (includind CWM_superuser.zip i get an error saying Esignature failed. I tried reflashing the CWM but when i open odin i cant get it to show the phone and light up the com port box... any other ideas?
You can't flash the root from recovery zip either? If you haven't tried, that should reroot your phone.

Nope gives me the same esignature failure
What about adb?
When you're in CWM recovery you should be able to disable signature verification.

Boot into recovery> go to install zip from sdcard>click on toggle signature verification

[Q] Rooting I317 just will not work

I have no idea why root will not stick. I have followed a few guides to the T and I can't get into CWM recovery. It will go into Android system recovery which is just not the same. Nor can I install SU and it's on my phone.
I have experience doing this and have done it on previous phones.
Can anyone assist?
When i try to run SU from the play store is says there is no SU binary installed and SU cannot install it.
Please help.
Thanks

The SU that is on your phone is from a previous install/flash,the binaries are missing.Do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
open it select root with SU bam first part taken care of,it is now rooted.Then go to play store and download goo manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
open goo manager click menu button /install openrecoveryscript and get the twrp install after it installs re-boot then twrp is your recovery and the phone is rooted too.

[Q] Newbe from Sprint

I just moved over from Sprint and got me a shiny new Note 2 from T-Mobile. I am looking into installing the Jedi ROM but want to make sure my bases are covered before I create a $700 paper weight.
I got the ODIN, autoroot, and Jedi ROM files downloaded and ready to go but I don't see any mention in the forums about CWM or any sort of recovery. Am I missing a critical step or do I have everything that I need?
The toolkit has everything you need including custom recoverys

to install twrp recovery download goomanager from the market after you root your phone then open goomanager and grant it su permission then press the options tab left of home button on phone and choose install openRecoveryScript it will ask you if you want to install recovery hit yes and it will download and install recovery then you can reboot into recovery from goomanager and flash your roms

Also, use this TWRP install method to check for available updates...
And, JIC...
No, CWM and TWRP files(backup's) aren't Cross-compatible
Yes, TWRP is just as reliable, if not more so, than CWM. So unless the Mod OP, your wanting to try out, suggests one custom recovery over the other, than I'd stick with TWRP

Download SU binary (su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip) from androidsu.com and flash the ZIP via recovery. If doesn't work, try to flash Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
