I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running Android 4.3 with baseband I747UCUEMJ2. I rooted it back in the day using CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.tar.md5. In the last few months it's been unstable and very slow, even rebooting or hanging up. It appears to be related to the SuperSU, b/c when I disabled SuperSU, everything seems to work smoothly again. So I tried updating SuperSU to the latest, v2.82, but same thing, plus now when I open SuperSU, the app shows a black screen and freezes. Sometimes I can end the task, but most of the time the phone is completely frozen up, requiring a force reboot.
Also, Root Checker says I'm not rooted, which I'm sure is b/c SuperSU is freezing up, thus failing to respond to Root Checker's request.
What I have tried:
1. Cleared System cache
2. Cleared SuperSu cache, can't clear its data though, nor uninstall it b/c it's considered a system file now.
3. Uninstalled SuperSU latest update v2.82, which puts it back at v1.62, still does the black screen and freezes
4. Installed Towelroot just to see if there were any issues with the root process. Towelroot said it was successful.
4. Tried to install the SuperSU.zip version via the Custom Recovery CWM v6.0.4.7, but it fails with the following error:
Installed failed
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:failed to map file
Installation aborted
5. Also tried the CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-NoKnox-samsungsghi747.zip version via the Recovery, but it also failed with same error as above.
Any suggestions to resolving this? If I need to flash a rom, could someone please suggest one that has most of the Samsung bloat removed and possibly running v4.4 KitKat? I've seen many, but I'm always concerned I will pick one that is not totally compatible with my phone.
I suggest flashing the latest stock ROM via Odin, set up the phone to make sure everything works. Then flash twrp, flash SuperSU from twrp.

I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. I flashed a prerooted stock version of KitKat and I think root was working. But now for some reason it doesn't work. I flashed the supersu zip (v1.80) via TWRP recovery but after rebooting, the SuperSU app doesn't even show up on my device. When I install manually from thr Play Store it's as if I'm not rooted. I've flashed the zip multiple times and I do not want to factory reset and delete all my data (especially since I really can't backup without root atm). Any ideas?
Edit: sorry about the post title typo. *flashing
I've updated with the OTA from H14 to H15. I restored the stock recovery beforehand and the update went without Problems.
Before starting the update I tried to "unroot" which also was stated neccessary by SuperSU in two dialogs. But this failed and might be the origin of the problem.
Afterwards SuperSU could not find the su binary so I tried to flash it via TWRP 3.0.2.0 which failed after the line "creating ramdisk backup".
Next I tried to dirty flash the H15 Rom, which also went without problems, but the SuperSU install failed at the same point.
I've attached the logfile of the aroma installer, containing the superSU logfile.
The phone works for the moment, without root / superSU but I would like to have it back
Does anyone have an idea / need more informations / can otherwise help ?

Has anyone upgraded their firmware to PK6 and attempted to root? I don't have any issues flashing TWRP with Odin. None whatsoever. When I flash a SuperSU zip or a PHH Superuser zip, I cannot get past the T-Mobile boot animation. It freezes every time. Once this happens I cannot boot to recovery. I can only boot to Download Mode. Hell, I can't even power down my device after I flash a root zip. Just curios if anyone has dealt with this issue. I have attempted to flash SuperSu zips starting with the 2.71 Beta up to the 2.78 SR5 with zero luck. I've also tried with PHH Superuser and I get the same results. Can anyone shed and light on the subject?
After several failed attempts to root my Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T) with the latest firmware update to 6.0.1, G928TUVU4DPK6, this is what I had to do to get a working root solution. At no time did I ever have a problem installing TWRP with Odin. Ive been using Odin 3.12.3 but I had the same issues with Odin 3.10.7.
I started with a clean slate and performed a fresh install of the stock firmware which I downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...al/sm-g928t-stock-odin-g928tuvu4dpk6-t3516310
After flashing the stock firmware with Odin 3.12.3 I did the basic setup on my device to make sure I could boot and everything was working. Next, I shut down my device and booted to Download Mode by using the key combination of Volume Down + Home + Power. Once booted into Download Mode I used Odin again to flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, which is available here:
https://dl.twrp.me/zenltetmo/
After the flash was complete I booted to recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power. When TWRP starts it will ask you if you want to swipe to allow system modification. If you swipe to allow system modifications you will trigger DM-Verity and you will not be able to boot normally unless you flash a custom kernel that has DM-Verity disabled in the fstab or you can flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip that I dowloaded from here:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
The newest version available is 5.0
So, I swiped to allow system modifications. Next, I transferred the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip from my PC to my device and installed the zip in TWRP. Once this was completed, I transferred my root zip from my PC to my device. I used the PHH Superuser to root my device which is available here:
https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip
I installed the root zip in TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik cache and then selected Reboot System. I didnt know if I would be able to boot or not. I could never get past the T-Mobile boot animation each time I attempted to root this damn thing but low and behold everything went as planned and I was fully booted up and running. I went through the setup wizard and everything was working as it should.
I am using PHH Superuser instead of Chainfires SuperSU. Its a personal choice for me as I have been using PHH Superuser since the hand off of SuperSU to a new company, CCMT, LLC.
Once I was finally able to boot normally I downloaded PHH's app in the Play Store from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
This is just my experience of what I had to do to get root working on my S6 Edge+. All of my root apps are working as designed. I cant remember the last time I didnt have a rooted device and it was starting to bother me. I was having root withdrawals. If anyone decides to upgrade to the latest firmware from T-Mobile and wants a working root solution, here is what worked for me. I have not tried to use Chainfires SuperSU again. If you dont want to use PHH Superuser and wanted to use SuperSU instead, try to insert SuperSU in place of PHH Superuser and see what happens. Do this at your own risk because I have not tested it with this solution that I found. Good luck. Happy Rooting!!

I tried that version too and I ended up with the same problem each time. I figured it out last night though. Im going to update my OP with the steps I had to take to get it working and that way if anyone upgrades to the latest PK6 firmware for their G928T and has this problem my thread is available with a solution.
hi,
i just installed the last beta version of OOS (beta 14) and my phone was previously rooted.
when i instaled the update, i reflashed super SU and when the phone booted up i had TWRP and SuperSU flashed but all my apps said the phone wasn't rooted (superSU showed me the message about SU binary not being installed or whatever).
i then uninstalled SuperSU and rechecked and all my apps said my phone was rooted. what did i do wrong? i am thinking that this is a temporary root without SuperSU so i would love it if someone had a solution and coul help me
Try to flash the superSU.zip once again without clearing cache .....it would work
i tried with and without clearing cache, nothing works. i also tried 4 different supersu zip files.
i even reflashed OOS and tried again (don't know if that does anything)
Hi guys it's been a while since I've rooted any devices but decided to root my LG G PAD 8.3 (V500), since it is so outdated. I'm gonna go over exactly what I did on how I got here to better understand. Sorry in advance for the long winded post.
-Anyway, I had to downgrade to 4.2.2 by using the LG Flash Tool 2014.
-Then, I rooted my device by running root.bat Also, I had SuperSU when I rooted.
-After rooting, I installed TWRP via the play store, downloaded the most recent twrp.img and flashed it via the app. It took me forever to get to recovery by pressing power+volume down and then pressing power+volume down+volume up. But after what felt like 20+ tries, I got to TWRP recovery.
-I wiped my phone and flashed the most recent Lineage ROM. Unfortunately, after flashing the ROM, I could not flash GApps because it rebooted to the ROM after flashing. TWRP let me know that I had to update TWRP and since I did not have the play store and I was once again having trouble getting into recovery, I downloaded the most recent TWRP apk.
-When trying to open the apk, it gave me a "can't open file" message which I didn't understand why. After rebooting, for some reason, it then let me run the TWRP apk and installed the TWRP app. This is when I found out that I was no longer rooted because TWRP notified me. I double checked with root checker and indeed I was no longer rooted. I have no idea when or how that happened.
-Again, I couldn't get into TWRP recovery until I plugged in my phone to my PC and for whatever reason, it helped me get into recovery. I wiped the phone and proceeded to flash Lineage and GApps.
-I read that by flashing SuperSu I may regain root, so downloaded an updated SuperSu, went into recovery and flashed SuperSu. When rebooting, the LG screen came up with a message at the top left corner reading "secure booting error! Boot certification verify". At that point, I was in a bootloop and had to go into recovery, wipe and flash again minus supersu. So I am now on Lineage with GApps and no root.
How do I regain root? And anyone know how I was able to lose it? Back in the day when I was into flashing, I never had these problems and never lost root out of nowhere like this.
Also, if I wanted to get back to stock LG 4.2.2, how would I go about that? I know that currently, I can't use the LG Flash Tool 2014 because my current ROM does not have a USB Software option in order for the tool to recognize the tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
