I searched all yesterday and today and cannot re-root after upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3. I always do a ton of searchs no matter what forum I'm on because I don't want to seem lazy like some others out there but this is beyond me. I registered so I could make a thread and this is what I have and the situation:
Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-R530U
US Cellular
upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3
kernel 3.031-2025306 [email protected] #1
baseband version R30UVXUBMJA
build number JSS15J.R530UVXUBMJA
SE for Android status Enforcing SEPF_SCH-530U_4.3_0010
hardware version R530U.01
Previously rooted using Odin, SuperSU, Titanium Backup Pro, ODIN_CWM6.tar.md5
I took the phone back to stock using unroot through SuperSU and upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 OTA with no problems. I've been trying to re-root using numerous combinations (ODIN3 v3.07) and no matter what I do the Samsung Security notice blocks rights to SuperSU (beta v1.76) and Titanium Backup Pro so it won't root. This is the message I get:
"Security notice - unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more."
The most recent md5 file I've tried is CF-Auto-Root-d2usc-d2usc-schr530u.tar.md5 but nothing else has worked either. I'm at my wits end and my brain is about ready to explode. I just need to be able to access Titanium Backup Pro so I can shut off a few programs and processes. Any help is VERY VERY much appreciated. Thanks!!!!!
TTT for some help please.

I have same phone. Recently went to Slimbean (4.3.1). I have Triangle Away and it couldn't access root. I also used CF-Auto-Root. Used a root check app, it says I am rooted. Odin also said device passed. Super User says I am missing a binary and I need to root manually. Trying to find that info
If you find anything out please let me know. A root checker says I'm rooted but I can't access SuperSU or Titanium backup as the S3 is blocking it.
Did you get the Slimbean 4.3.1 for USCC and if so where?
There was just a new SuperSU update and it granted me access to everything. I asked if I wanted it to disable KNOX and I said yes. Titanium Backup works and so does Triangle Away. I think I'm good to go.
How did you update?

How did you update to 4.3? Did you use the simple update you can download to computer, or did you use Kies? I'm not having any luck with either. I chatted twice with a Samsung Tech person, but neither one had any help for me. Just thought I'd check to see if you could help me. It's not easy finding someone else on here with US Cellular. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I tried to download the simple update but my phone wouldn't update to the 4.3 so I did it over the air. You probably know but the OTA software update is in "about device." We have four S3s in our home and only one of them hasn't been able to get the download OTA yet. The only bug that I've found is when you start the phone it will show numerous downloads in the notifications and they will come back even if you clear them. The way to get rid of them is to go to the download icon (green arrow) and clear all the downloads and restart. Hope this helps.

I have downloaded the simple update, but get an error msg while trying to install to computer. (1152: error extracting) whatever that means. I uninstalled all Samsung anything from my computer, restarted, shut off firewall & Norton, downloaded again, but same thing while trying to install to computer. I updated to 4.1.2 this way, but keep getting an error on 4.3 update.
I tried to go through Kies. It updated Kies to 2.6, it said Kies3 was for 4.3. When I tried to hook into Kies, it refuses to accept my IMEI #. Says its incorrect. wth. The Samsung Chat Tech told me USCellular 4.3 update wasn't available yet through Kies OTA.
When I tried to get the 4.1.2 update through the phone, it would never give it to me. Even though I unrooted and used Triangle Away, it still knew my sg3 was modified. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Do you have any suggestions ? I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to these phones.
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but it's rare to find someone with USCellular on here. Thank you so much for your time.
I got the error message too so something is wrong with the download from Samsung/USCC. Just keep trying to do the OTA update and maybe it will go through. My GUESS is that Samsung and USCC stopped doing the update because of a couple bugs or issues. The reason I say that is I updated mine one day (worked), my wife's the next (worked), my son's the next days later (worked) and tried my other son's a couple days later and no update for him. I unrooted mine before the update without doing triangle away so I don't know if that really has anything to do with it at all. However, it does have to be unrooted if you do the OTA. Good luck!
I used Triangle Away, then unrooted. My phone still says 'modified' even though counter no longer says 2. When I try OTA through the phone, it constantly sticks on 'checking for updates'. I'm sure it's because it still says modified. I tried using Kies, my phone will not connect. Keeps saying my s/n is incorrect. I understand my IMEI has been corrupted.
I have started a thread on here for some help in how to get the 4.3 update.
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I will be eligible for an upgrade soon. I just may have to wait to have anything more than 4.1.2.
Again, thank you.
Samsung

it looks to me like samsung are finally making a stand against rooting although i do not agree with this as i use an app called freedom and when i open it i get a security issue from Samsung
The only reason i left iphone for samsung was because i felt like they had something other apple with hardware and i was happy to do this as i could get root access but for now i see that this might not be possible for a while.
i recommend installing a normal superuser.apk and that might work but i cannot check this right now as i am out
i hope this little bit of information did help in anyway
Okay, so I have a T Mobile SGH t999l, a few months back I rooted it, that went smoothly. I then kept it rooted for a couple of months. Later, I wanted to restore my device to factory settings, (and did so very smoothly) but I forgot to uninstall superuser for unrooting it. It still works fine, but when I checked it with root checker (pro), I got error messages saying my phone was not properly rooted. Ever since then, I've been afraid to root my phone again. Someone, please help me get my phone back up, working, and rooted again (and a step-by-step guide, if I have to do it some special way now (if not, please, just tell me so)).
What build are you running? If you have a custom recovery installed, just flash the latest SuperSU from chainfires thread.

PS. On second thought, could you include a detailed step-by-step guide on what to do, because I actually feel a bit uncomfortable doing this on my own.
There are several ways to gain root, all of which are well
documented. Im not going to rewrite another guide on it, just too much when its been done already.
Go to the firmware thread linked in my sig and download the root66 firmware for your device. Flash via odin and you will be rooted. You will find instructions in the same thread, or the root66 thread and many other places via search.
Just backup important data first, just in case.
And check the other sticky threads too for alternatives and more info.
If you have a specific question about any of ill be glad to answer it, theres just no sense in rewriting whats already been done. Dont take it the wrong way.
Two things, stay away from the toolkit if you find it, and most odin instructions are for Odin v3.07. If you use v3.09, the only difference is use AP instead of PDA, they are the same. Youll understand if you run into it.

Are you %100 sure (given my specific predicament) this will work? No offense, but it sounds kind of generic, given one specific set of circumstances.
You can never be 100% when doing anything to your device. But as a general rule, if you are having problems, odin flashing stock firmware and factory resetting is the best chance of fixing stuff. Root66 is pretty much the same thing, only pre rooted, with knox removed. Its as close as you can get to 100% stock rooted on 4.3.
The only real issue is usually if you are still running base firmware build 4.1.2. At this point there is no warranty bit and you can still flash older firmware. Once on 4.3 this changes. So if youre already on 4.3 firmware, theres nothing to really lose by reflashing it or updating to the newer 4.3.
I wouldnt call it generic, as I stated above, this is often the best chance of getting things working the way you want. Its solved countless issues.
In the end its up to you what route you want to go. If youre not comfortable with my recommendation, I suggest you read up on other alternatives and choose what you are comfortable with. Wont hurt my feelings either way. Its your device and your risk, so be comfortable with what you are about to do.

Try to take risk it never harms, Those who never did a mistake they never tried anything u learn from your mistakes.
Just got the T-mo T999 was on stock 4.3 flashed the cf root with ODIN, Rotted used GO im to flash the recovery BAM DONE. Stock rooted with recovery installed.
Now searching for a ROM.
Thanks
Thankyou for the help you all gave me, it worked!!!
Please, HELP!!!
I was trying to install an Xposed module, but I don't remember which one, and I don't remember anything after that. Now my phone is not working (at least, not like you'd expect it to) anymore. Whenever I try to do much of anything, it starts displaying messages like "Unfortunately, '.............' has stopped", or "Unfortunately, the process '.............' has stopped". The most notable being, "Unfortunately, Google play Services has stopped", and "Unfortunately, the process com.google.processes.gapps has stopped". Please, HELP!!!
I have a problem

It works well enough, after I get through all the original errors I can call (and receive calls), and receive texts, but I can't use the keyboard, or any of the apps involving any form of Wireless Data (eg. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G/4G or any other cellular data) or GPS.
In your op you wanted to just be stock but rooted and stable, correct? Did you ever flash the root66 firmware I originally suggested?
Hi guys,
hope you can help me with a nasty little problem ..
I got a Chinese Note 2 (GT-N7100_CHN_CHN) from my father in law - he bought a Note 4 just recently. The phone is virtually not usable in Europe, as no Google support is implemented (mail, G+, Maps) and there is no access to the regular Playstore. Also, the only Android available is 4.1.
So I tried to flash a new Firmware (and yes, I'm a noob), and that's were the problems began. I've downloaded this ROM: N7100XXUFNE1_N7100DBTFNE1_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5 which is - as far as I could figure out - a more or less "factory" version of a German Android 4.4 ROM. For whatever reason, I was unable to flash it using Odin (I tried several drivers, cables, computers (all Win7/64), disabled virus scan .. no way to get Odin 3.09 to work. It recognizes the phone, but aborts the flash process immediately with just a "1 processes failed" error.
After reading a bit here, I tried to root the phone using Saferoot (worked perfectly), loaded MobileOdin and this ROM to the phone and did the flashing there. This works fine, the phone starts, it has a German interface, is running KitKat .. great. Only issue: The WiFi does not work. As I figured out from this forum, I need to install either a WiFi patch or a new Bootloader (I've downloaded BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 - hope that's the right one).
The problem now is:
Saferoot fails to root the Android 4.4 version - so no root access
MobileOdin does not work without root (and I don't know whether it would be able to flash a bootloader)
Odin 3.09 still does not work with the device
I tried Heimdall, but it does not accept the .md5 files for Odin and I could not find any ROMs in the right format
So I'm running out of ideas what else to try. Could you give me a hint what to to do?
Many thanks,
Scooby
You are saying the phone is chinese and doesn't have support from Google so there is clearly not original phone.
Samsung has not produced that phone so it means the hardware parts are not from samsung and the ROM you are flashing can't be installed.
I read you want to root but I think it is already rooted(try with the app "root checker")
You can't do much with that phone.
Sorry

Hi Manuel,
it's definitely a original Samsung device. Google is simply (virtually) not available in China, so they install a slightly modified Android that points to a local Samsung store instead of playstore, G+ and Maps is not pre-installed ..
As written above, I was able to root it as long as the original Android 4.1.x was installed and I have successfully flashed the new german Kitkat ROM. "Only" Problem right now is that I can't get Odin to work and due to that I can not install the Wifi fix or new Bootloader. And ideas on that?
Thanks
Scooby
Ok, first of all, new to rooting and all that follows. However, I'm not new to forums and if this is in the wrong category, or if I overlooked a similar post, I am sorry. Feel free to redirect me to wherever you see fit. I know just too well how similar posts can be annoying, but I feel like I've exhausted Googlesearching and looked everywhere I can think of.
So, I have a Note II. N7100, Android 4.4.2 and I want to root it. Googlesearching has found me a lot of nice looking ROMs, and besides looks the added functions tempt me. Wont be long until I upgrade to a Note 4 or 5 anyway, figure I might as well. For what its worth, I live in Norway, and AT&T does not exist over here, nor does any other major american carrier. USB debugging was on the entire time.
I got the Odin V3.10, and appropriate clockworksmod files, and thought everything was peaches. Into download mode (after backing up ofc), Odin finds it, I upload everything and Odin says "PASS" in nice, green letters. When it reboots, it looks the same as before, but.. "Unfortunately, SuperUser has stopped", Titanium backup does not work since it apparently isnt rooted. Root Checker says the same. However, when checking for updates my phone displays "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unautorized way. Try downloading software updates using Samsung KIES on your PC, or visit a customer service center."
Read alot about devices having to be unlocked from carrier, however all google searches on "how to check for carrier lock on Note 2" yields numbersequences I have to input into the dialler and dial. None of the sequences give anything other than "Connection problem or invalid MMI code". I honestly dont remember if its carrier locked or not.
I came across an article here on XDA saying that with the later versions of android, KNOX has become an issue when trying to root, but someone had found a way around it. I downloaded MJ5BLPatch.tar.md5, uploaded to my phone via Odin, and here it fails, looses connection with the device and cant reconnect. Phone displays something alon the lines of "Invalid magic code" or the similar in red text.
I am the newb here, looking for help, and if I screwed up big somewhere I am cool with a little flaming. I just want to squeeze this for what use I can before upgrading, and probably rooting that too.
Any help as to how I can root it and load custom ROMs? I appreciate any and all help, sincerely.
Forget that MJ5 bootloader related stuff.
Reflash CWM using Odin and untick auto reboot, run through and reboot manually.
After reboot into recovery flash SuperSu.zip, start supersu after reboot system and disable knox by following the advices from app.
Thank you very much. i feel exceedingly stupid, I had been using the guide found on Note2root.com, when I applied step by step from this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143479) everything worked out. hope this may be of help to anyone having the same issues.
Again, thank you very much for your help.
I'm posting this in a few places because I'm not sure which is more active, feel free to move/delete.
The past few hours have been a nightmare. I was trying to root my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) so I could uninstall some of the bloatware and install some apks.
I first went to mobilesiri (Can't post links yet) to try and root my phone. I couldn't find the samsung usb driver but I figured since my phone could connect to my computer and it recognizes it perfectly, it should be fine, so I skipped that step. Through some searches I came across androidmtk's guide which seems a lot more thorough, so I compared the two guides and decided to follow the latter. That being said I downloaded the version of Odin in the first guide as it seemed less risky to do a one-click root than something more advanced, and since they were both using Odin, I figured there's no harm. Running through the steps I hit "start" in Odin and it started working, but it said "reset" when I clicked start, so I thought that was odd. A few auto-restarts later and it said "pass" but when it started to boot up there was a "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message in red at the top left.
At this point I thought maybe it worked, and the second guide told me to look for SuperSU in the apps, but it wasn't there. What's more is the software update no longer worked, and my device status was custom... basically the worst of both worlds. At this point I figured what's best is to find a stock firmware from Samsung. No such luck, even chatting with live tech support, it seems this is only done through kies, smart switch, or the phone itself. I did find something on Samsmobile which after a painfully throttled 2 hour download, gave me a version of odin they wanted me to use, along with the firmware for my specific model. I went through their instructions word for word, and it seemed to have worked. I booted up my phone, and the status said "official", so I figured it worked.
Not wanting to have all that time go to waste, I tried doing the 2nd guide, (Androidmtk) again, being really careful not to miss any steps. Same red error message, same custom status. I now have the Samsung firmware so I went back to that, and again the status said official, but now I'm having a whole bunch of issues. The keyboard sometimes doesn't come up, I can't type on it when it does, it comes up really late, the shift key flickers, sometimes it will type one character in, then as soon as I type another, it replaces it, so I can't actually type a string of characters together. The manual software update says failed processing after it tries to register the device. I heard that maybe updating through kies might work, except now I can't get the phone to connect to kies, even after running through the troubleshooter and restarting my computer.
I'm at a loss. I would love to have a rooted version of the phone but at this point just a functioning factory reset would be heavenly. Any help would be kindly appreciated!
