This method MIGHT work... There's also a chance that it could soft brick, so I wouldn't try unless you have the ability to reflash the original firmware.

Then I would back up everything then reinstall the original firmware and reroot.

And nothing is working for rooting my phone.

Most of the important stuff can be backed up to Google. If you need to backup your calls/texts, they're apps for that. Then copy your internal storage to a PC and that should be the main important stuff.

Finally i tried kingoroot pc app and it rooted my phone but doesn't install any superuser app in my phone, then i installed superSu from playstore and it worked.

CWM Not working

I installed Rom Manager and then downloaded the recovery for Samsung galaxy s2. When hit reboot into recovery. I am unable to perform any operations in CWM. I had to connect the phone via usb and issue a "adb reboot" command to get back.
How do we make cwm work.

Also must people are having issues flashing in cwm after using ROM manager. If you try installing from cwm and get verification error you needed to flash again then kernel and don't use ROM manager
Flashed CWM and nothing is happening
I flashed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3 using the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823. However, when i go into CWM and select something the only thing that happens is the logo for CWM shows up with a black screen. When I push the power button again it will go back to the list.I am using the stock rom and it hasn't even been rooted yet. When I try to root using super one click, it gets stuck at step #5. Please Advise.

Dont use Rom Manager. It is known to have issues with the S2
I use CWM Manager and have no problems.....

The key mapping is different. I had the same issue. Try the home key to select in place of the power button and the back key for back
Also if not rooted I do not think CWM will work...
Use this by Entropy512 it is flawless.

Root is having access to root account in os. It has nothing to do with cwm since cwm is loaded before the os loads.
They are irrelevant

In addition, all of our CWM-enabled kernels are "insecure" kernels - They give root at all times to ADB sessions, this is why SuperOneClick works after flashing them.
But only ADB sessions get root, so you use the "rooted" ADB shell to root the system partition. After that you've got perma-root until you nuke su and Superuser.apk from /system

I think I am confused again?
When I flash a kernel, I have root. I have never used super one click. Just flashed your kernel. I thought that is what gave me root? Are you saying I still do not have root for /system files? Or does your kernel push su and superuser when it is flashed?

Mine does, codeworkx's doesn't.
Setting a kernel to be insecure is a lot easier and takes less time than putting in a robust root-inject script.

Entropy512: Does this mean that codeworkx's kernel must be flashed with SuperOneClick in order to have complete root (to /system)... but with your kernels we don't need to flash SuperOneClick? If so, in order to unroot (without SuperOneClick) I suspect one would have to flash the non-root stock kernel? Thx

Yes. (Unless you flash an su package with CWM instead of SuperOneClick)
Really, all SuperOneClick is doing are the following commands, assuming you've got a proper su binary and Superuser.apk:
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

I understand (I think) that chmod 644 is to set the permission but what is chmod 6755?

I have downloaded CWM Manager and I have tried to install it but it has failed. Is there a different type of process to doing this other than opening it through root explorer?
what are you trying to do? just use the 3 button combo or extended power option to boot into recovery and flash away?
Ok, I am having a huge issue with trying to flash a custom rom. I will try to explain this the best way I can. I have had the same problem as above when trying to use CWM in recovery. Here is what I did:
- I unrooted my phone
- flash CWM with "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar"
- then it boots into CMW recovery and I can't do jack. When I try to select anything I just get a blank screen with the clock workz logo. If I hit the volume up and down buttons again the list of options comes back, but I will be stuck with the same situation if I try to select any options.
I was able to successfully root my phone in another instance using galaxys2root.com's method, however when I tried to use cwm I also ran into the same problem. I have yet to be able to use anything in cwm recovery. Please help me. I have flashed my phone multiple times and probably bricked it also. Luckily i haven't done any damage yet, but i would like to be able to flash roms. I am still kinda new to flashing roms, but i was able to flash my old infuse like a champ without any of these problems.

Use the home soft key to select stuff in CWR, not the power button.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
i didnt read all of the posts until after i posted. thanks for not slashing me. so it looks like i use the home button to select then the back button still goes back. got it.
On a side not, I do not remember reading about that within the posts for rooting and flashing clockworkz. I tend to skip over things when reading, but I think someone should put that in big fat red letters "USE HOME BUTTON TO SELECT".

100% root access?

i'm quite confused. I believe my phone is partially rooted. I installed SuperSu but it says that i do not have the Su Binary installed. under root checker it says that supersu is not installed but busybox is. I successfully installed Root Explorer and am able to view system files but not edit them.
anyways, i got a verification error when trying to flash CWM-supersu in recovery. I followed al the steps and downloaded all the required recovery.img files etc. I am tempted to flash a custom rom. but afraid if it gets locked up during the process, as there is no back up option with the stock recovery.
Any suggestions?

Update the binaries in superSU settings or reinstall root with CF-Root with Odin, see item 1 in my signature.

Yes, flash CF-Root with Odin.
Update your busybox to latest version.then update the su..it will work
Then cwm problem can be solved by using a manual cwm(new cwm from someone)...

Cannot root a Lollipop rom (Doogee DG280)

I am trying to root the stock Lollipop rom of DG280 (can be find in doogee.cc)
i created custom system.img, custom recoveries, unsecured boot.img but even if i root it, it doesn't boot again.
I unpack system.img and put the su binary in xbin, then i pack it and flash , but bootloops.
Unsecured boot.img boots but when i connect phone to pc, it doesn't get recognized. I created a custom recovery based on kitkat and worked, but after installing various rooting packages, like supersu v2.46, phone boots rooted at first time, but after reboot it doesn't boot again!
Please any help appreciated.

Not sure if you have it sorted but just thought I would mention what works 100% for me. Just picked up a leo dg280 while waiting for a replacement screen for my main phone.
Anyway use kingroot to root, then google for the mrw script and follow those instructions to replace kingroot with SuperSU. So far has worked everytime for me ( have reflashed lillipop numerous times for different reasons)

I had tried that but never worked (vroot, root genius, kingroot etc). I finally flashed a custom made cwm recovery and installed a kinguser su package.

Ι had made a custom cwm based on kitkat rom i think. It doesn't work properly in lollipop rom, it cannot read internal or external file storage partition although i was sure i had configured correctly the files, you can install a package only via adb sideload. Also it is bigger than the stock recovery and i ' m not sure if that occures any problem.
I m not sure now which file it is, if i make one for lollipop rom i ll upload it

Flashing TWRP using terminal emulator ?

Hello..
We all know that there is a way to get root on the OPX
using the kingroot app without a custom recovery.
But the question is : is it possible to flash TWRP.img through
the terminal emulator? And if it possible, What are the commands ?
Thank you..
I'm not completely sure, but try this..
Do a backup just in-case.
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Here, su is for superuser right and the next command flashes the recovery.
Note that "/sdcard/recovery.img" means that your recovery.img file should be in the root of your Internal storage and should be renamed to "recovery" without quotes.
Kingroot is a "bad" way to root.
IMHO, you should stick on the normal way.
Be sure your BL is correctly unlocked.
Then if your root, you can flash TWRP via an "rashr app"
We king root is a bad way to root? So many times I have tried in many phone's it produces the same result as supersu, and after all i never stick with it. I always replace it with supersu at the end.

I just mean here, because some people gave tutos to easily root without unlocking BKL. Some use them, and after stay stucked trying to flash something.
And Kinroot is a software that try to install you a bunch of crap when you use it...

Lineage Os 14.1(7.1.1) Problem With Rooting

I had recently upgrade my s3 using TWRP recovery from 4.4 to 7.1 lineage os
But I am facing problem with rooting.
I am not able to root my device from
1)TWRP recovery
2)Odin(CF Auto Root)
3)Kingroot(Android and PC )
I have installed TWRP properly
PLz give an idea to root my device
I have checked in developer option
That is ROOT ACCESS
Their is 2 Option only
1)Disable
2)Adb only
But I am not able to get root access any of this Or Adb only
Previously I tried with different ROM
Their is option of
1)disabled
2)Apps only
3)Adb only.
4)apps and Adb
But in this ROM I am not able to find suggest me any way to fix this
I installd 4 time s same ROM to get this root access but failed
Check below screenshot
In SuperSU application
No su binary installed
https://dropfile.to/bRO4jKc
https://dropfile.to/MMWxWrp
As far as I'm aware the rom should be pre rooted and all you'll need to do is install supersu from googleplay and then update the su binaries from within the supersu app.
Set it to option 4 (apps and abd) and go about installing supersu first as the app from googleplay and if no joy then as a flashable zip file.

You must flash it to get root access in LineageOS 14.1

Options are available in root acces

Are you sure you flashed the correct addonsu???
As far as i remember, the s3 doesn't have 64x, flash the normal arm version (arm32x).
Bro i have tried to flash ARM AND ARM X86 but it says
update failed in twrp recovery
So i flashed with x64
It was done but not worked properly

It works, you will get an error in recovery, but when you boot, you will get root access normally, i don't why the error happens, but it's harmless anyway.
Root fix
I'm not sure if you have fixed it yet but just in case if this helps the way I got around this is by simply downloading the latest super su zip from the official site and manually flashing via twrp kinda sucks but it works the first boot took a little though so if you try this and it takes forever for your device to not just wait because it can take up to 15 min the first time. So basically as long as you have twrp you are rooted technically it's just based on the rom wether they chose to support it if not the zip always works but you need the app too.

S3 has arm32. So neither x86 not x64 would work. You should've flashed addonsu.zip for 32.
