need help flashing su

i went back to stock for lh9, and i read somewhere that u can root any build with the toolkit and so i tried using that way to root my phone, and it supposedly flashed cwm onto my phone, but when i boot into recovery to flash su, its like a different one, guessin the stock recovery because theres no option for install from zip help anyone??

Maybe this post will help:

I just realized that you won't be able to remove those files without root. You should first check whether you have the files or not. If you don't, then I'm not sure what's going on.
If you do, you need to uncheck the box in Odin to reboot your phone when you flash the custom recovery. When the Odin flash is done, pull the battery, put it back in, then boot into recovery by holding Vol Up, Home, and Power until you see the little blue text. That should get you into custom recovery. From there you can flash su and Superuser.
At this point you have a choice. You can reboot, but it will replace your recovery with stock. You'll still have root though. You'll need to remove the files and reflash a custom root either with Odin, the dd method, or using ROM Manager or GooManager.
The other choice is to use adb while you're booted into the custom recovery and remove the files before you reboot.

Did you try to root with the toolkit then you install a custom recovery and finally you install busy box. Still with the toolkit

I did use tool kit to root guess ill try unchecking the box to reboot after odin I dont think it worked though. Is su supposed to work if i download it from the app store after I try the root through toolkit? Or does it have to be flashed into it

Did you look to see if your phone has the files I mentioned?
You can't just install su from the app store.

Yeah just download it but be sure that it is not already on your phone. Superuser or supersu

You can install the app, but it won't be able to install the su command unless the phone is already rooted.

NVM you dont have root i misread your post....You could use odin to flash lg1 with root injected and then use rootkeeper app to preserve root then take the update to lh9 thats what i did. Gunnyman wrote a post about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895100

If you do flash LG1, be sure to do a factory reset in recovery before you boot to LG1 or you'll get errors from android.process.acore. If you do this with stock recovery, you'll lose all the picture, sound, and video files you have on the internal storage.

Try rooting your phone again via Root66 that is much easier than that + its a updated version of rooting and am assuming that recently you just got your phone?
and if your gonna root it again go for the JB version the pre-rooted one.

Use this guide can't fail. Remember to unchecked reboot on Odin. Or you will never have root. Cause when it reboot it reflashes stock recovery u need to flash su before you let it reboot. So after you install cwr with Odin remove battery and boot into recovery and flash su. And ur good to go.

Hey there,
I clicked on the link that you provided (not for the files, but for the thread). I noticed on *that* thread, it was for i747M. Is this/your thread exclusively for i747? I don't want to chance it and brick my device due to a variant mess-up.
Thanks for publishing this info. =)

The link is if the i747m but I used the same process just with the i747 files.

From the threads I have been reading, NO, you can not unlock using this.
This procedure will allow you to downgrade your ROM to 4.1.1 while leaving you on the 4.3 bootloader. To unlock using the free method you must be on completely stock 4.1.1. Completely stock, including the bootloader, which would be LK3 for the i747, I believe.

Why don't you give it a try and let us know? I think as long as you installed the 4.1.1 modem, you will be able to unlock you phone.

i wasn't able to. i actually traded my s3 for a s3 running 4.1.2 and on that one i just downgraded and then succesfully unlocked that one. sadly i don't have either anymore because the one running 4.1.2 was having speaker issues. i now have a vivid and wish i wouldn't of traded lol.

I was able to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1. I do have a few questions though...
1. S3ModedRom.tar: Is it for the I747 or I747m?
2. Modem file: Is it flashed through TWRP or CWM?
3. How do I go back to 4.3?
Also...for those wondering if you can FREE UNLOCK: NO. I get only a blank service menu
Input on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Especially the 3rd question

All of these files are for i747 only and modem is flashed via recovery of your choice

I used CF auto root on odin 3.09, i got the cf auto root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF...uto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
i was unable to flash TWRP through the TAR they supplied on their website and goomanager still doesnt seem to want to start the download.
Everytime after i CF auto root as soon i get to the home screen supersu sends a message that "unfortunately, supersu has stopped" without me even clicking on it or performing an action.
do you happen o have any other suggestions or links of where you got your cf auto root.

Rooting and flashing custom rom

Would it be possible to root using the ping-pong root method, then use flashify to flash twrp img?
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm sure you can, but that would definitely trigger Knox and would void your warranty. You might be able to also flash a ROM using FlashFire which is supposed to be even better and doesn't require a custom recovery. In fact, if you eliminate the boot and kernel elements from whatever rom you're flashing, you could still remain under warranty (not tripping knox).

Thanks, but I really was not to worried about knox, just wanted a way with out apc.

I tried flashify, softbricked, took forever to get it back running as im on a mac, and having to use a VM and what not getting everything set up and the right Odin, right files, stock firmware, took me literally all night to get up and running again, and yet i still cant get twrp working on this damn phone.

Try this:
1. Download twrp recovery and zip it with the installer script. Make sure it's named recovery.img
2. Install flashfire
3. Flash twrp update zip with flashfire
4. Hopefully boot into twrp!
This is how I got TWRP installed.
