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.

Use motochopper, it only takes around two to three minutes total, and it leaves you with stock recovery in case you need to go back for waranty purposes, motochopper also does not trip the flash counter, or change the system binary to custom. besides that with the T999L you dont need a custom recovery as the stock recovery has adb sideload support( see Edit at the Bottom For further citation), you just wont be flashing any custom roms until we get some odin roms built, personally I wouldn't flash any custom rom until DocHoliday77 has a true stock odin built, and that won't be until we can get our hands on the stock firmware, which won't happen until the T999L gets an update or at least until sammy releases the firmware, which is pretty much the same time.
EDIT:
after modding a few system files, and getting stuck in a boot loop @ the T-Mobile splash screen, i have found that in fact you don't need a custom recovery for anything but flashing custom Roms/Kernels, the stock recovery not only supports the new Adb Sideload function, the dept of adb support seems to be full adb support all the way down to shell support as i was able to use the following to delete the modded system files and get my device back and running from the recovery menu (no options selected)
adb devices
adb shell
su
rm /system/framework/multiwindow.jar
rm /system/framework/multiwindow.odex
i was allowed to use the rm function of the shell to delete the two files i added to the system/framework folder.

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.0-RC5-d2tmo.zip

I tried cm-10.0.0-d2tmo and cm-10.1-20130608-NIGHTLY-d2tmo as well, all failed with same error.
did I do something wrong? appreciate if anyone can give me some guide or links to install cm10.1 in my s3.
thanks!

Yes/no if you flash a custom rom you will have to flash a custom recovery to do so, which means you will lose your stock recovery, Docholiday77 is currently working on making all the data we pulled from my T999L compatible with odin, which once its done you won't have to worry, but if you flash custom recovery, custom rom at this stage, you will be essentially locked out of your warranty until we have everything ready for odin, also we just pulled all the info for rom development just about a week ago so I doubt anyone has really had the time, or resources to build a custom rom specifically for the T999L which means you will be flashing at the risk of paid Samsung factory repair if it soft bricks, I'm not sure but I think doc has enough on a rom now to help you out if you brick with cwm or twrp, and with the stock adb sideload support you might be able to push the stock recovery we pulled but you should definitely ask doc for specifics as to what he has to help you if something doesn't go right with a custom rom.

CM added 'asserts' to the updater script that checks what version of firmware you are running. Older firmware was becoming buggy forcing him to do this. Since the t999l is so new it just hasn't been added to be allowed.
You can edit it so it either has your build in the script, or remove the checks all together.
I can tell you how in a bit if no one else does.

Help.. I am new member flashed the i747z rom this the only page I can post on. I LOST my root. It has supersu installed but not working. How do I fix it.

If it was stock firmware you'll have to reroot. SuperSU might still be there if you didn't factory reset, but it'd just be the app.

Can I just flash root in odin. Will I brick my phone trying to root it. Cause I have clock work but not root.
Edit: I tried towelroot. It says I SHOULD ALREADY HAVE ROOT. Smh.

Go to /system/xbin and check if you have the su binary there.
If not, uninstall SuperSU and try again. If it is there try flashing the SuperSU update zip. You can find the link to it in chainfires thread.
You can root other ways, but the above two are the methods I prefer.

I deleted SU from romtoolbox and reflashed it. When I leave recovery everytime it says may lose root select to keep it. I still don't have root. Can someone get the dev to come to the thread. I am junior and can't post on development thread.

You can always pm him, but I doubt he will be able to help much more than anyone else. I'm not sure what's going on, but I don't believe it to be the ROMs fault. But it is an older ROM... What is your current base firmware/bootloader build? Open terminal emulator and enter this to find out....
getprop ro.bootloader
I would also suggest considering a different ROM. It appears that it is no longer supported by anyone, and there are several more current ones you can use. Depends on what your base firmware is though.

Starting with the full firmware .tar.md5 file, extract with 7zip and you'll see all the different partitions that are flashed when you flash with Odin.
NON-HLOS.bin is the modem.
Tz.mbn - Trust Zone
Rpm.man - resource and power management

I don't need that to be done now though. I started the downloads earlier so they should be waiting for me when I get back.

You flash via custom recovery, which you'd have to flash with Odin.
A custom recovery will trip the warrant bit. There's no way to root without doing so.

Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app

Nope. If its out of warrany it doesn't matter at all. There used to be root66 firmware which didn't trip it, but the latest versions had mixed results. And the 4.4.2 builds aren't out....yet. You can wait to try that if/when they are ready, or you can root via recovery as mentioned earlier.
New root66 will be worked on, but I can't give a solid eta as I'm not the one doing the work. Not promising anything either.
