Hi guys, i'm still new to rooting and roming. Heres what i have done on the absaloutley wonderfull s3 19305LTE 4.3 australian model.
Rooted the phone no problem with odin
There were dramas with superSU but got them fixed when i deleted and re installed superSU.
Accodring to rom manager i backed up my rom. So i'm thinking great, now i can download a rom.
i got the galaxy project rom thing which is working great....however
superSU is now saying that SU binary needs to be installed, it's saying i need to manually re root which i can't seem to do.
Titanium back up is not working.
Rom manager can't find any backups which is juuuuust peachy!!
Now odin won't see the phone when it's in download mode, it only sees the phone when its in normal operation.
and i can't seem to see the ime number or whatever it is, which is probably why odin can't see the phone in download mode?
Can anyone........anybody at all............help?
have u try to reset factory? and see if odin have detect u pda then u can re-root again

Well, I would say why don't you try factory resetting your device at first and then again try connecting it over the ODIN see if that works out or not ! :cyclops:

You need to post in the i9305 q&a section for more detailed help.
Try not to use rom manager, it creates more issues than it fixes.
no imei number will not make odin not connect to it.
Can you access recovery? if so reflash the rom.

Hi everyone I just bought a Galaxy S 2 four days ago. I rooted it with CF root via Odin. Thanks to Chainfire for that. What I wanted to ask was that the kernel just roots the phone and provides us with Superuser and all the rest of the apps. If I make a back up from CWM will it back up my whole Os which is Stock Samsung Touchwiz?
And also I would like to ask, Can I start flashing Roms now through CWM Flash zip option?
I am facing another problem I am trying to check for any updates but the problem is that when i try to check for updates it always says that it has failed even when i am connected to wifi!
Can anyone please help me with that too!
Thanks in advance!

Whole OS and apps but you need first time have an EFS backup seperate see threads .
And also I would like to ask, Can I start flashing Roms now through CWM Flash zip option?
Only if the rom instructs you to flash via CWM .
I am facing another problem I am trying to check for any updates but the problem is that when i try to check for updates it always says that it has failed even when i am connected to wifi!
OTA updates on phone do nor work use KIES but you have changed your firmware and codes may no longer match for KIES updates .

JJE, sort your quoting out man xD
Anyway.
1) Yes if you make a backup in CWM it will back everything on your phone up, including everything in /system.
2) Yes you can start flashing ROMs.
3) Because you're rooted Kies stuff will not longer work.
Hi XDA,
I have been loving my S3 and a few weeks back unrooted it so i could have a little more freedom. I have CWM 5.5.0.4 on it.
I havn't added a new rom and I would keep it rooted but I want to recieve samsung updates because CWM won't install them.
I have looked around and havn't been able to find a way around to install these updates.
So i would like to unroot my device and remove CWM.
I can handle having to go back to stock and lose my data but I am unable to find a recovery file for my region.
I'm Australian and have been looking through the link below's tutorial on reverting back and there has been no real indication of a file for Aus/Oceania.
Any help would be great thank you.

Instead of using CWM to update your ROM, why not use Odin?
Also do a *#1234* to find out what PDA/Phone/CSC version you have.

It's the updates Samsung requests me to do so it asks me to restart my phone. It will then boot into the cwm that i am fairly sure was put there by odin and it wont certify the installation. I wouldnt know how to manually get the updates.
Thanks for the tip on finding out the version.

Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-i9300 running 4.1.1 Baseband 19300XXDLIB.
I have been trying and trying and trying for the last few days to root my mobile. I take care following all of the steps and I have tried every type of root program and files I think are available but even though they download to the phone and reboot into their custom recovery, then install the files needed to root, none of them have worked!!
It's strange because the phone is just unrootable it seems. I have tried several versions of Odin. I've tried what should be 1 click rooters but nothing works! The most recent files I have used to download to my phone via Odin were CF-Auto-Root-m0-gti9300, CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4, SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse, SuperOneClickv2.3.1-ShortFuse and SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse all of which have been recommended to me and I have strictly followed YouTube videos and written guides. I don't think I am doing anything wrong yet I still have no root access. The last root I tried installed a CWM app (I know it stands for Clock Work Mod but not sure what I am supposed to do with it) but not SuperSU which is supposed to come with it.
Please can someone help? I'm tearing my hair out here!
I should probably point out I am not using the stock ROM as I did manage to brick my phone at one point and had to install another firmware, although I would like to go back to my original firmware yet I am not sure what it was...is it possible to figure out what the stock firmware should be? The phone is unbranded from the UK.
Many thanks

No you can only guess .
TO ROOT .
Factory reset the phone and install CF root 6.4 via Odin .
But its really pointless rooting when you don't have a clue as to why or what .

May also be because your computer hasn't been installed with the samsung drivers yet? Kies i think it's called..
Have you tried downloading supersu from the play store? And be sure to not try superuser but supersu.
I had the same thing with cf-autoroot. supersu wasn't there and I didn't have root. Tried several times, never worked. After that I tried rooting with the old cf-root that also installs cwm recovery. Recovery was there but no supersu and the phone didn't get root. Tried that several times too but that didn't help either, although that is how I rooted my phone successfully right after I had bought it. Went back to cf-autoroot, same result, no root. But as soon as I downloaded the app supersu manually and updated the binarys as it tells you to at first start, I had root.

Kies is not required (and its junkie bloatware that doesn't properly clean itself up on uninstall anyway)
Windows can pull the drivers from WU.
You Sir, are a legend! Thank you very much, you have sorted my problem I had SuperUser instead of SuperSU like you stated. Who would've thought it'd be so easy to fix?

You should probably not just imagine that just because someone has a problem that they don't have a clue what they are doing. I have done this numerous amounts of times with several phones, my Samsung was just slightly more difficult since I had made an easy mistake by not taking note of my original firmware and by not realizing that I needed SuperSU and not SuperUser (which I'm sure is a common and easy mistake).
Try next time not to put a fellow site member down.

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?

Well, let me guide you over to the appropriate thread over the XDA at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/root-samsung-galaxy-siii-i9305-t2663751 . I am sure this is going to help you out !
Hello ,
About a year ago i rooted my phone using kingroot , however i did not replace the kingroot su with super user app the reason for that was because i just wanted to delete some bloatware on my device and then would remove root again .
I proceeded with downloading Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware among which i deleted the default email app from the phone . Not knowing how to properly remove root access from the phone i simply deleted kingroot believing that this would make me lose root access on the phone .
The problem now is that i need to restore the default email app which i previously deleted because an error message keeps popping up on my phone repeadetly ( Unfortunately , Email has stopped ) and it has gotten to the point where the phone is almost unusable . What i want to know is this :
1- Is it possible to install just the kingroot superuser or some other super user so i can use root to download titanium backup again ?
2- Will titanium backup be able to restore the default email app after i download it ?
Oh wow okay you have a few options. One is to use the SuperSUme app to replace kingroot super user with SuperSU. First, you can try downloading superSU from the play store and then titanium backup. I'm not sure if titanium backup will bring back your e-mail app or not. I guess it depends if you backed it up. When all else fails, you can use the flash fire app (given you have superSU) to flash the OF1_rooted_stock_ROM file. This will take you back to 100% stock with root. If that even fails your last option is to use ODIN on your PC to flash the stock ODIN firmware file for whatever firmware you are on. If you want to unroot, getting superSU is a must because it has an unroot option built in.
All of the files I mentioned are either found here in the forums and/or on the play store. Do note that if you're going to use flash fire, the only version you can use is version 0.53.
Lastly, I have written a guide here that may help you with rooting in the future. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...h-i545-pl1-t3846576/post77710697#post77710697

Hello and thanks for the reply , I tried getting SuperSU but it doesn't show up on my play store .
Is it possible to use Odin to flash the stock 5.0.1 ROM for my phone without the superuser and will that reset the phone and return the e-mail app ?
Also assuming this way will work where can i get Odin ?
And also will this interfere with the carrier ? Since the phone is VZW but i am using it on another carrier not in USA currently , will that make the phone unusable with other carriers or its quite unlikely ?
Thanks in advance and sorry to bother you once again ,

You will need to get the superSU apk file off the web and install it from there then. You can flash the OF1_rooted_stock_ROM file with flash fire 0.53 and that will give you 100% stock with root. You can also flash the ODIN full stock .tar file found here in the forums and that will also get you back to 100% stock.
The Verizon galaxy s4 is carrier unlocked. To use data though you have to set the correct APN settings for the network you are using. I have AT&T and have used my SIM card in my Verizon galaxy s4 before.

Actually i flashed the official OF1 firmware with odin and it restored the default apps without any problems .
I don't know if this means the phone was unrooted before but several root checkers i tried said that the phone was rooted but the superuser app was missing .
Nevertheless , i thank you for helping me out it might seem little but its thanks to you that i turned to odin and now my phone is in a perfect condition
Yep as I said you can flash the ODIN tar file for OF1 and get back to 100% stock. Good thing that did it for you. As for superSU, you can get it off chain fire website I believe.
If you ODIN back to stock, it more than likely unrooted. Odd that root checker says you're rooted. No problem, glad to help whenever I can. Happy flashing!
