Hi all,
Galaxy Nexus.. Running Android 4.3 Build-JWR66V, rooted, using SuperSU.
Few weeks ago I got an update which increments the build to JWRR6Y, which failed to install every time I tried.
Then I read that there are still a few problems with root on 4.3.
After the SuperSU was updated (which foxes the problem) i opened the app and it said that SU binary needs to be updated, I agreed to continue...
Chose "Normal" and waited around 8 minutes without any luck, restated tried again without any luck...
Chose the other method which restarted my phone into recovery mode, which ended with an error...
Can anyone please help me out with this issue, I've searched the internet getting nothing really worth the fox that I'm looking for...
Thanks.

My phone is having severe battery and temperature issues and I need to take it in for a replacement before my 30 days is up.
Long story short, I had to use the unbrick method to get back to the stock v10f rom from the ICS leak.
I immediately got the notification for a ~24mb update, which I'm assuming is V10i. It downloaded fine, but after it reboots the phone to install it, it immediately fails at 2% and then boots back up into v10f. The phone is rooted coming from the unbrick method, so maybe that's why it fails?
So I unrooted it using SuperOneClick, but it doesn't fully unroot it. In ADB I can still type SU and get the # sign. However, it does remove superuser and busy box. Also, the root checker apps in the market show that it's not rooted.
So I tried the update again, but it keeps failing.
I did a factory reset and tried again, but it didn't help. Also, I can still get # in ADB shell.
So I used the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it says my phone is completely up to date.
I'm not FULLY convinced my phone has a hardware issue. But it was on v10i when I got it, and it was getting really, really hot and data connectivity was horrible. It said there was an update, which was v10j I think, and that didn't help either.
So I tried the ICS leak and that made things even worse.
v10f actually works pretty well. My reception and connectivity is great. And it doesn't get quite as hot and the battery is lasting much longer. But just this afternoon it got really hot again and the battery dropped 12% within a minute or two.
So I think it's best to just take it in and get a replacement, just in case. However, I'm worried about taking it in when it still has partial root and it won't successfully update.
Thanks for your help!

shouldn't this be in the general thread ?
to unroot- download super su from play store !
in super su, there is an option to fully unroot !
try that !

Thanks! But that didn't work.
I read up on DoomLord's unroot kit. I was scared to use it because he says not to use it if you didn't root your phone with his method. Well, I used zerg rush in SuperOneClick and DoomLord uses zerg rush too. So I tried his unroot kit and it worked! Finally got Permission Denied in ADB Shell.
I'm downloading the update now and will try to install it in a few minutes.
UPDATE:
Well, even having full unroot didn't help. I still got the 0x013e error at 2%.
Trying another system restore now.
Update 2:
Did a system restore and it still didn't help. The update keeps failing at 2% with a 0x013e error.
Hi,
I searched the forum but I couldn't find a similar problem, so Please I need some help.
Last week I got the new update 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Nexus gsm, so I went and installed it.
During installation when the device turned off and it was unpacking the update or even a little bit before that, I got a message which I really don't remember very much and didn't understand but i think it was from rom manager asking something maybe about flashing or something similar.
I remember as well, that it said that the action cannot be undone! and since I didn't understand very well what it was asking me, i chose something which seemed to me the safest at the time.
Which means, if it asked me to install something, I chose not to since it can't be undone.
I know I'm not giving as much information as i should but this is what happened.
After the installation was finished, I downloaded root checker to find if i had lost my root or not and it took awfully long time for the app to tell me that my device is rooted.
So, everything was okay and apps which needed root access were getting it from superuser app.
Today I decided to backup my rom so I opened rom manager premium and I was not able to backup the rom or even restart in recovery mode, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I was getting always error that it was not granted superuser access.
So, i figured out that the problem is specifically with the rom manager because other app which needs root access were always getting it, so I went to titanium backup and rebooted through the app into recovery mode and it did but all i got is that black screen with the android icon in the middle having a red triangle on top. I had to take the battery off to restart the phone.
I tried again to reboot into recovery mode using the power and the volume button but I was unable to.
So, I'm asking whats the problem?
Am I still rooted? and how can i fix this problem?
I was thinking of using the nexus kit but I can't reboot in recovery mode at all so I guess it won't be much of a help.
I'm very sorry for the LONG question.
Thanks Guys

Yeah, Galaxy nexus toolkit will work fine. You can also download the recovery (it is a .img file) and flash it manually through fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)
No matter what i tried i can not get root on this phone i just got it about three days ago.
its a Tmobile Phone
it came with 4.1.1
Build UVDLJA
Ive tried root66 but no dice, i can not run any thing root, everything requiring root hangs in the loading screen and when i try to update the binary for superuser it fails in the acquiring root permissions section,
I never get the prompt to deny or allow.
this is is my 5th android phone and the first to present this issue to me.
Can anyone provide insight on why this is happening?
After you ODIN, did you see the super user icon? If not, you may not did it correctly or you chose the wrong TARZ file to ODIN.

Could be a bad download. I would re-download the root66 file and try again. Just to be sure, are you extracting the .tar file and flashing it in the PDA section in Odin?

Have you tired after you Odin root66 booting into recovery and wiping data and cache?

I had the same issue until I saw this video and it worked. Follow the link and it'll show u, for some reason this recovery file is the only one that worked.

Thanks for for input folks, I just decided to do a factory reset, that solved my issue s soon as it booked up I was rooted
So I offered to put a custom ROM on my wife's Galaxy S II T989, because she likes my S3. First problem was it would NOT root. It would install the superuser app but it wouldn't verify as rooted, says the su binaries were not installed... Ok. I wanted to use the CM11 Kit Kat Rom, so the instructions said that I had to be rooted so I kept looking and finally found one for su v0.92, it failed in CW recovery so I tried it using Odin, and again it failed. So I rebooted the phone to try again later and it is now stuck in a boot loop. I have read that Odin can be a little finicky so I kept trying and to no avail. I even tried Heimdall Suite and it said that it detected my device but after I tried to install the root package that way it said device could not be detected and threw an error. I couldn't figure that out, so I verified that the USB drivers were installed and they were. The forum says I have what's called a soft bricked phone and to download a recovery kernel for it and it should fix the problem, but I can't find one for android version 4.1.2.
I have tried two different USB cords, and two different USB ports and nothing. I am just so lost confused. I completely abandoned Android after Froyo and went to a Windows Phone for over 2 years but recently came back because of the lack of app support. I used to flash ROMs on my LG Optimus T all the time without a problem. Things have changed I guess. I'm pretty sure that my wife is going to have a cow when she wakes up this morning. Any help that anyone can provide would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!
So I fixed the problem with the boot loop. Odin finally wanted to cooperate this time. I downloaded a stock time and extracted the md5 file out of it and flashed it using Odin v1.85 with defaukt options checked and it worked! I hope this helps someone who was having the same problem I was with the Galaxy T989.

i had this when 4.3 first came out.
i cant remember how i got around it.
i think you have to revert so that when u load KNOX it says "INSTALL" so its not installed (even though its present).
then update Superuser to latest version after using CL_autoroot.
here is a thread i made about it a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535015
I actually found a thread right before you posted this on here that stated something about ES file explorer so I downloaded that searched for superSU and clicked install even though it was already on the phone. And that allowed me to get into superSU then I used uninstaller pro and completely uninstalled Knox all together and made superSu into a system app. Been working flawlessly ever since. Then I installed triangle away and reset my flash counts and surprisingly they reset all the way to 0. I appreciate your response hopefully others that are having troubles with this see this and can root their galaxys without as much problems as I had.
