Hey guys so I ran into anther problem.A while ago I posted on what next for my p769, I have a rooted v10g ICS locked bootloader.I cant do the OTA update because Ive modified system apps and rom settings. I followed the method of flashing a JB Backup with CWM from this link that was provided: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37666447
So then I didnt have CWM installed so I proceeded to install cwm for my phone using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36620368
As for that my results were a little troubling The flashing led lights when I turn on my phone dont blink anymore and when SU grants permissions it has started to loop it continuously grants permissions to apps that SU just gave permissions to.And on top of that the CWM installation was supposedly installed but I cant even boot to CWM
Hope I can get some help on this one .

So a little add on to that I think I jacked up my phone because now it wont connect to wi fi networks and it seems SU gives access to apps but doesn't really give them root access ....-_- I think the worst part about this is I cant restore to an old back up because I was trying to install CWM so I could make backups .

I have used both Stephen and Robert version. Just install the one your prefer. For wifi issue, it work before you mess up your phone? Try to make CWM work and restore a good CWM backup.

So I've been reading forum after forum and can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and decided to do a post.
I have a X10a and recently rooted it with the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Everything seemed to work fine and now I have the superuser.apk as well as the ADW launcher on my phone.
I've been trying to install xrecovery so that I can load some custom roms onto my phone and have tried both the manual method and using the .apk installer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
I have had no luck doing so.
I can sideload apps fine (so I guess I have superuser permission?) but my phone won't allow me to install xrecovery. Busybox also says my phone is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spend a couple hours every day this week working on this and searching forums and can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks!
Hey, I had a few problems with getting xrecovery to install as well. Are you 100% sure you rooted ur x10 correctly, given that busybox says its not rooted? I used z4root to root my x10. If you used a different app to root ur X10, try this one instead. It tells you on the front screen whether ur phone is rooted or not. If it isn't rooted, try rooting it with this app. I can't post links unfortunately but you can find it easily with a google search. If not, I'd be more than happy to help you with this outside of the forum on the likes of a messenger program. Just drop me a PM if you're okay to do this.
Please explain what is going on better than I can't install. I can probably help, if I know your situation.

you must be rooted, have busybox and superuser permissons.
Everytime I try to install it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
which I'm assuming is the latest, I get the error message that I can't install this app on my phone (the same standard error message that you would get by trying to sideload an app before you rooted your phone). Busybox also won't install and says my phone isn't rooted. I've downloaded a few other apps that require root for functionality and I get the same error with all of them.
I do have the superuser .apk on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've re-flashed the phone three times now to try and root it and every time it seems to work, but the end product is a phone that still won't let me install third party apps.
I have the x10a in the states and don't have access to the official 2.1 update yet so I can't use any of the one click rooting methods out there. I did find this though and might try it tonight (not sure if it will work though, or if I can even utilize it). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
If I need to explain more, I will do my best. Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
Same issue here except that busybox is installed.
I've tried to install manually but pressing back while booting doesn't do anything but regular boot.
Help would be appreciated
install busybox from the market
Also, I can't use Z4 or anything similar as I don't have the official 2.1 update. Sony hasn't rolled it out in the states yet and considering that the end of life for the phone with AT&T is fast approaching (March or something now) I'm doubtful that they will.
So I found some other apps that allow you to check for Root Access. According to all the evidence I've collected (inability to sideload, busybox won't install, multiple root checker apps say my phone is NOT rooted) my phone wasn't rooted correctly.
I've gone through the guide to root x10a's with 1.6 3 times though and have the superuser .apk on my phone. Hope this additional information helps
Just to be precise... I've got root (titanium, copy to system works) busybox from market but it always says can't install on that phone. Tried manual installation without success. Tried gscript way but no luck.

Solved for me !!!
I finally managed to install xRecovery and Custom ROM using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Thx rendeiro2005 and all the other
Everything goes fine with "easy way" procedure.
Then installed busybox from market plus installed xRecovery.
To access it press power button and then I use to clic several time back key until I can see the recovery menus.
I think my issue was because the previous root method I used gave me a 1.6 android system and therefore xRecovery installer may not work with it.
Thanks all.
hello rooted android 2.1
Never mind I got it working. Wasn't aware there were better flash tools out there and I found one that worked for me. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
the new Flashtool version 0.2.6 works pretty well
its does the rooting, and can help to install busybox, xrecovery.
Yes Flashtool can provide "all-in-one" tool.
Flash, root, clean junk files, install apk files in just one click, install xRecovery, etc, etc, etc...
DON´T install busybox if you have xrecovery installed!!!
xrecovery
Hi everyone. I am at my wits end. I have followed everything to the letter to install xRecovery and it is not working. I have superuser working my phone is rooted and busybox is installed (root check says it is working) but the first time i tried the three apps in xRecovery were not all ticked. busy box had a cross saying something along the lines of no such directory. I reflashed my phone and went through the whole thing again and now i have red crosses on all three saying permission denied. I have gone into root explorer and everything is R/W however if i acces the three files on sdcard/data/com.zoz etc and go to permissions to turn them all on it says some file systems eg sdcards do not allow permission changes. I dont know if i need to do this but its the last thing i can think of. HELP!!!
I usualy root my phone through flashtool, its just a one click, be sure to enable the bugging and and click root. Make sure if superuser appears on ur phone, that u allow it 2!
Edit: Just read that uve successfully rooted ur phone. Did you try to install recovery through flashtool?
To make sure uve rooted ur phone, enter flashtool (enable debbugging first), click on Ask Root Perms, if ur phone IS rooted it will say so. Click on xRecovery (in flashtool ofcourse), and u will have it installed
Greetings all!
I have been a long time user, first time poster, but have rooted my phone many times with success, however after a mini update today, the rootkit I used last time kind of worked, however most of the root functionality no longer works. I assume im just using an out of date rootkit.
Model: GT-i9300
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: i9300BVELK1
Build: JZO54K.i9300XXELLA
The device does say modified but the apps still function as if it isn't rooted.
I am on Orange France Telecom living in France, using the handset from Orange. Which software download do I need to get the root working correctly please? I have checked alot of the guides but all point to what I assume is an out of date rootkit.
Thank you for your response in advance.
You can try updating the binaries from within the app.
And please don't ask questions in General

How do I do that please? I am concerned I will break my phone if I mess too much. Very much a beginner with rooting outside of the guides.
Go to the superuser app and do it there

I may have been unclear, I don't know what the phrase "updating a binary" means. Thank you for taking an interest in helping though.
Also the version of the root software was Odin 1.64 I think (working from memory as not at home right now).

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this please? I am sitting at home now and I think I was using 1.85 Odin not 1.64. Why does my device say modified but still won't give me root access to apps etc.

You should root using this its ptobably the best and easiest way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Download the zip from post 3 extract the MD5 file and flash via odin 1.85 is ok
Ok...
The problem being is that the root hasn't worked. I get through the root, but each time in the past, it does some file verifying where it says "verifying 1 of 145 files" or something similar, and then adds SUser and CWM - It doesn't do this after this root, and the phone, while saying rooted, won't work as a rooted phone. All my unlicensed apps now fail to load.
I really think that the micro update installed via KIES today needs a new rootkit. I tried the above update, and all that did was delete the Super User app too >_<
Thank you for your patience so far. This stuff is very complicated outside of the normal rooting.

If you use CF Auto Root and lose SU just download SU from the market, this one

CF Auto root doesn't contain CWM you need to install that seperately or install TWRP recovery

Ok so made a bit of progress, got the SuperSU on there again, but apps still function as unlicensed. This was all working fine until the update this morning, but at least we are progressing.
Still haven't solved it. Some apps work, some don't. I even tried Lucky Patcher, no joy.
I have a S3 19300 that was rooted using exploit one click root...
Worked fine on 4.04...
Have recentley updated to 4.1.1 19300XXELJ2
And didnt want to inject su via mobile odin so didnt ckick to root...
Now have lost root and since new rom exploit wont work either...
Next problem is my usb cant connect to otg or computer...
Computet tells me usb device has malfunctioned.
I have latest kies and drivers etc have tried different computer and different ports etc..
Also tried to root by installing cwm zip but keep getting signatures failed thing so no go there..
Is there any other way i can root without odin?
I really want TWRP but need root access first...
Lost for ideas now....
Anybody can help?...
Also im overseas for a while so cant drop phone to get usb problem fixed at moment..
Try installing SU from Play store, sounds as though you have lost the binaries if you didn't select the option
Yeah but need root access....for su to update binarys...
When i flashed jellybean rom with odin i didnt choose ever root
As used exynos exploit one click root before...
I like that you can un root it without flashing a stock rom so
This was my plan...how ever when jb installed exynos exploit wont work now?
Funny cause i thought it was the chip it works on and didnt think a rom would stop it to work..
With out root i cant use TWRP either...
Now im guessing my only choice is to use cwm zip through restore...
Cwm do this on my tablet but on my phone it doesnt work due to failed signatures...
If anybody can help thanks....
Phone has been fine, rooted with cwm5.5. This is wifey phone so I keep messing with it at a minimum. At some point I noticed it no longer has root. It runs stock 4.1.2. With a couple of root apps - such as AdAway-which is no longer working and has error message "Either subinary could not be found or you did not allow root permissions for AdAway"
Superuser app has this error "There are currently no superuser app policies." then "Superuser binary must be updated" attempting to update results to error "There was an error installing superuser. "
I rooted the phone again with the same CWM ver. file. attempted to flash superuser but it errored and aborted installation. I rebooted and installed rom manager so that I could update CWM. That errored out as well. Root verifier confirms there's no root on the phone. I have installed busy box but it has the same error message no root access.
I thought to root with CWM ver 6.0.4.6 but installation aborted. I tried TWRP but it aborted as well. Only CWM 5.5 works which my normal routed is then to flash superuser, install rom manager and then have it update to CWM to ver 6.xx. But his time none of these is working. How do I regain root?

Initially I had actually, but camcorder issues, modems with sporty service ... we a deal breaker. Si I just restored it to stock with kies to avoid more lip. Only thing I did was root the stock so I could install a few apps such as AdAway. I don't plan to do stock on this unless I can get get rooted stock rom.

When I rooted my phone I was wary of using methods that would have me going through either download mode or having to install a custom recovery (which eventually became pointless since I had to do both to flash roms anways lol) but at the beginning I was trying to use something simple.. while googling I stumbled upon this http://www.kingoapp.com/ and rooted from there.. it's like a one-click root kind of thing and seems to keep the root working regardless.. maybe you wanna check it out and see if it helps, in case you loose your root again. If you wanna run your phone stock but rooted, at least after doing the restoration via keys you'll keep the stock samsung recovery.
Hope it helps!

I know, it doesn't show our device, but I kind of went with the home page "root all devices" statement they had and it worked perfectly fine. I did the same with my sister's Note 2 t0ltetmo which is in fact a canadian Videotron phone I gave her and worked fine too. I do not believe that that Note 2 is in the list either, but it still worked

Hey it worked some - I decided to test it on my old Captivate. The only thing is it doesn't install CWM/TWRP or similar. So I cannot install a custom ROM. Is it not supposed to install a custom recovery? If not how do I do that having rooted with Kingoapp?
Thanx again for suggesting this app.

My pleasure, and glad to hear it worked! And no, lol, sorry. The app only roots your phone, but it does not install a recovery. The good thing about it is that at least you can run stock and use any rooted apps, like I do with my Asus HD7 (for which, unfortunately I haven't found either a custom recovery or a custom ROM to flash, so I run it stock but mess around with root apps)
However..
I looked into this Galaxy Captive thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547997 and didn't find a recovery itself that could be downloadble.
So while googling I stumbled upon this: http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2013/10/how-to-install-custom-recovery-in-most.html.
I my english is good enough to understand, it would seem as if the goomanager app allows u to install recoveries directly from your phone, so you could maybe try if you wish.. If u do, please let us know how it worked, as I'm sure others also would benefit from this.
If you want a CWM recovery for either the Note i717, the Note2 T889 or the S2 T989 let me know and I'll upload them, as those are the only ones I have ATM.
Cheers!
Hi guys. I'm still new to rooting and roming. Not sure exactly what i have done wrong but i hope you guys can help so heres a quick run down.
Rooted the phone no problem with odin.
SuperSU gave me a headache so i uninstalled and re installed through play store...rebooted and all was well. With rom manager pro i backed everything up. TWRP recovery.
with mobile odin pro i flashed the galaxy project and re booted. It looks great but when i got to superSU it says there is no SU binary installed. Now titanium back up won't work either. I checked with root checker and it is detecting superSU but it's saying that my phone is not rooted which kind of makes sence as to why it isn't working.
With rom manager when i try to restore, it can't find any back ups which juuuuuuust peachy!
So now my thoughts are re rooting and starting from scratch. Not sure if i'm on the right track here but it doesn't matter anyway because odin will NOT see my phone in download mode.
Not sure if i've done something wrong, i probably have just not sure what it is but i also feel that this is salvagable.
Can anyone help?
