[Q] Rooting problems

Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.

I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?
update: I've re-installed and re-rooting my stock rom and nothing has changed. Can you help me please?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

I didin't understood that happened to me,
After several minutes and after downloading an alternative file explorer, SU granted to me to modify system files.

[Q] My GS3 is an impregnable wall. No rooting or flashing methods work.

Hi guys. First post to the forum, been lurking for years, just registered.
I recently updated my phone with the update that Samsung kept bothering me about every 2 hours or so. And It has messed my phone up, it's slow, it drags. It doesn't even show the clock on my lock screen without thinking about it for about 10 seconds. Train wreck.
I've rooted, installed custom recovery, and loaded custom roms on my Galaxy S i9000 and on my grouper Nexus 7. I kinda get how all this works, I'm not a total newb, but with this phone I am at a dead end and i've tried everything I know, and a bunch more tricks I learned here and nothing is working.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3: Canadian (Bell) version SGH-I747M, supposedly the same as the S3 AT&T,

I had to use zadig to replace my drivers for Heimdall
Heimdall will sucessfully flash clockwork recovery, but it refuses to install my CM rom. I haven't tried any other roms, but from what I've read in the forum here, it doesn't seem to matter what rom you use, it just wont do it.
I get Assert, bootloader errors when trying to install from zip in Clockwork Recovery. tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41503727
and it does not work. Odin just says "FAILED" right away.
I thought maybe if I just rooted the phone first, I could at least flash a custom recovery and not have it over written everytime I boot.
I tried CF-AutoRoot, Odin says success, but nothing changes on my phone.
I tried OneClickRoot which worked wonders on my GS i9000 back in the day. No success.
I have tried CM Installer to do it automated, It says success, but no change.
People have reported that Knox may be the problem, but as far as I can tell I don't have it on my phone.
I've been working on this for a day and a half and all I've managed to do is factory reset my phone about 12 times. I need help.. I don't know what to do. Has anybody managed to root their phone or install a custom recovery or rom with a GS3 running 4.4?

If you are getting assert errors, try a different rom.
What firmware are you currently on?
Simple solution: flash firmware via Odin
Root using Towelroot
Install SuperSU from the play store
Open SuperSU and update binary and disable knox.
Done

I was having problems on my s3 running 4.4.2 NE6 after 2x failed root attempts. Then had sluggish performance.
Yesterday, I updated using kies to get the latest 4.4.2 NF2. Everything seems back to normal.
I heard in another thread that cf auto root works for NF2 but i personnaly haven't had the time to try it.

Ok, what im hearing is Towelroot won't work anymore on NF2. But most of our older methods should work fine. No idea about the problems you observed though. Root alone shouldn't have any effect on performance.

[Q] need help with gs3

Hello, i just purchased a new galaxy s3 virgin mobile edition..
I had like 6 updates when i turned it on and now i am on 4.4.2 kitkat which it's called kot in the system file..
Anyways i have been searching and searching for an easy oneclick root program..
I haven't been able to find anything that works at all...
So i am here to ask everyone on here..
Is there an easy sure fire way to root the galaxy s3 vm version?
That doesn't involve changing the rom or flashing something that might break something or brick my phone...
What happened to samsung? They used to be so easy to root and unlock it was like melting butter...
Thanks in advance

TowelRoot... Philz recovery has a one click root. Plenty of options. NDC is what your firmware is called BTW.

Thanks but like i said nothing works.. Towelroot says my phone isn't supported and others just fail to work..
It is like this is just a super locked device and just can't be rooted..
I know towelroot says for all phones etc but something tells me it aint for all phones..

What I just told you to do (Philz Recovery, use the one that ends in ".tar.md5" in Odin- turn off auto reboot in Odin, it helps) then hit Reroot in Philz Settings after you get into Recovery, go into the Play Store and download SuperSU and go into the app and update binaries. This method is tried and true for your device.
My ROM: WICKED X

Do you have a link to the Philz root page?
I'll try it if I feel like it's not gonna brick my phone. Never had to root through Odin..
Thanks

All major initial root methods always ask you to flash a custom recovery through Odin always.
What he explained is correct you are just going to flash Phil's custom recovery then boot it into recovery click re-root and once booted install SU and update binaries.

Have a great day! from my LG G3

Why does odin keep failing??

I have a Verizon Note 4 N910V running 5.0.1 and trying to flash CF or TWRP fails every time. I've seen on other threads where lack of drivers or other USB devices or reactivation lock solved peoples problems, but I can't find anything that helps me anywhere. I have the correct tar file downloaded and I am attempting to flash it properly.
Here is what I'm seeing:

Thanks for any help.

Doesn't look like you're rooted. Should say "developer."

Your bootloader is not unlocked. You may only flash official/signed Samsung binaries.

I've tried every guide that I can find online to gain temp root for the N910V running 5.0.1 so that I can unlock the BL and flash a custom recovery. How can i accomplish this?

You should be using the search function, but here, here, or here. Thanks to ryanbg and beaups for the exploit. This will get you to an unlocked Lollipop bootloader. I would strongly suggest that you read each thread thoroughly so that you know what you're up against and how to fix the inevitable boo boo.

i had a similar problem...

I had to use Kingoroot on the PC instead of Kingroot. Once rooted I had to leave the phone alone for a few minutes for it to stabilize.

Problem rooting F41 with magisk and Android 12

Hi, i have rooted a few phones in the past without problems but it´s my first samsung and nothing seems to work... Read a lot a tutorials, tried a lot of things and for now, no success in any...
I'm on the latest version of Android (12) - ZTO-F415FUBS2CVF1
I did unlock the bootloader without problems... Extracted stock rom boot.img, patched it with magisk 22104. Put it inside a boot.tar, flashed it in Odin with success:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After the patch, i always go straight to stock recovery and wipe data...
It´s really weird, when i install magisk, after the flash, it only says this:
I also did try to follow magisk instructions and flash the whole stock rom with the AP patched but it gives me an vbmeta error, so i reverted to stock firmware and kept trying to patch only boot.img...
Also tried to revert to android 11 with Odin but it gives me an wrong version error on download mode...
I don´t know if i'm using the wrong magisk version, or something is missing in the tutorials... Also tried to find something here but nothing seems to work... Can someone help me ?

Same problem here. VBmeta is giving me a lot of trouble.
Loking foward for a solution...

Can I see the error? It may be because flashing just the ap in the first place shrunk your space.
