Not getting rooted

its not getting rooted. Not going to Recovery Mode. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublinker:
This should help

Actually, you can use it Since it's yours. My brother had the same problem and this is what I did :

- installed mobileuncle from play store

- Grabbed my damaged old Nokia 201 and reclaimed the imei.

-Used mobileuncle, got to engineer mode and wrote the imei into the phone

- scrolls down to SimLockME and unlocked every limitation there permanently

-rebooted and everything works fine.

NB: phone must be rooted before mobileuncle will work properly.

I used Eroot to root the phone, search for it

Hit thanks button on the left if it helped. :good:

I will say this only once. All talks of IMEI changing are banned on this site as it is illegal to change the imei of any device. Even if you own both devices. I will be removing all links to any software or Tut on changing the IMEI and anyone found to be passing them around will be banned for good.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Firstly, you have posted this in the wrong section, and looks like you didnt search either

if i remember correctly, the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII is not the International i9300...so you have flashed a firmware that is not compatible with your phone

You may have to send it back...

I would also try taking it back to the store, simply saying that it just won't boot. I have a feeling they might just give you a new one right away. If they ask whether you have modified it somehow, just pretend like you're stupid and don't know what they're talking about.

That's what I would do.

OK, so I have a rooted I9300 and for some reason for the last few weeks I cant update the subinary and titanium wont get root access.

I did many google searches, tried a few thing eg (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1900217) , tried rooting again (even though I know Im rooted but nothing works.

is there a way to unroot WITHOUT losing all apps and data?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
...just re-root it? Assuming you used CF-Root and will be flashing it again, when CWM runs again and installs the SuperSU ZIP, /system/xbin/su will get overwritten (and get set with the correct permissions).

Else, if whatever reason you don't want to do that, if you have CWM recovery installed, just mount /system, and using ADB delete /system/xbin/su, /system/app/Superuser.apk, /system/bin/.ext and install CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip again.

If you don't have CWM, you can use a kernel with an insecure adbd (Perseus kernel has this for Jellybean ROMs, and earlier Siyah and GalaxSih kernels have this for ICS) and delete /system/xbin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk. You'll have to manually install SuperSU from the ZIP.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
I tried rooting again- didn't change anything.

I do have CWM.

Tried using ADB, but it requests root access and fails to get it...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Good, ADB will be running as root in CWM by default. Boot into recovery mode, go to mounts and storage, and select Mount /system.

If you don't already have ADB setup and the correct drivers installed (if you already have Kies installed then you have the drivers installed). do the following. You can check, if you wish, by seeing when you connect your phone in recovery - you should have a SAMSUNG Android ADB Device under SAMSUNG Android Phone or an Android Debugger Bridge device in Device Manager. If not:

Download http://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r14-windows.zip and extract the three files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to a place of your choosing

install the drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?2243ouw1701zp8l (Extracted from Kies_2.5.0.12094_27_11.exe)

disconnect and reconnect your phone

Go to the folder where you have adb installed in the Command Prompt, and run "adb shell". Run the following commands:

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
chattr -i /system/xbin/su [in case Survival Mode is turned on in SuperSU]
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/su [ignore this one if it throws an error]
rm -r /system/bin/.ext

That should unroot your phone.

Go to "Install ZIP from sdcard" and choose to install a zip from the internal sdcard.

Exit out of the root shell (Ctrl+C or, alternatively, "exit" and you'll be sent back to the command prompt) on your computer and download the SuperSU ZIP.

Go back to the command prompt and type this "adb push " (including the space) and drag the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip onto the command prompt window, add a space and type "/data/media". You should have something like "adb push <path to CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip> /data/media"

This should put the SuperSU ZIP onto the root of your internal memory card. Choose go back on your phone and select to install a ZIP from the internal memory card again. You should see CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip. Install it, reboot, update SuperSU from the Play Store and run SuperSU from the app drawer. You should get a prompt asking you to update the su binary. Do so.

Grab Android Terminal Emulator on the Market, and run "su". If all went well, SuperSU should ask you for permission. Grant it and if the $ turned into a # and the command "id" says uid=0 (root) then you're rooted!

OK, Im really sorry and embarrassed to say that I got confused with my tab 10.1.

I Do not have CWM installed.

Tried installing it now and could not. I stay on odin mode and I dont get the CWM menu...

I guess at this stage when my root is screwed I cant install CWM anymore.

What can I do now?

Thanks again and sorry for the confusion..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Flashing CF-Root should always get you CWM as it's done through ODIN, which does not care if your phone is rooted or not. When you're flashing CF-Root, make sure the auto reboot option remains ticked. If your phone doesn't boot into CWM after ODIN reboots it, then take note of the following:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
OK, Im now in the mounts and storage folder insider CWM.

ADB interface is installed on device manager.

II dont understand what to press and where to run these commands.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Under the mounts and storage option, select mount /system. It will change to "unmount /system" if selected correctly.

The commands are run from an "adb shell" session, which you can get to by doing this:

Extract those three ADB files from that platform-tools ZIP to a folder somewhere (I chose C:\adb out of randomness). Open that folder and while holding down the shift key, right-click a blank, white area in the folder and select "Open command window here". You can then type "adb shell", which will allow you to run those commands.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
There isnt mount system there. I see unmount system.

I see mount data, preload etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
OK, that's fine, you may move on to running those commands.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
Two problems:

1. running "chattr -i /system/xbin/su"

resulted in a "chatter not found" message.

2. Trying to push the su zip resulted in this message: "error: device not found".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
If rm worked on /system/xbin/su, then ignore it as you don't need it anyway.

Reconnect the phone and try again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:

Can I Start the phone and move the zip file manually with a micro sd cable? If not, what else?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
moved it to internal memory and after shutdown, power+home+volume up wont take me to cwm anymore but to android system recovery.

Why? How do I get back to cwm? Install it again with Odin?

BY THE WAY, I can still see supersu is installed on my device. Does it mean what we did did not work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomerstern:
OK, I can confirm this method works :)

I just installed the zip of the supersu and now Ive got full root privileges.

The reason I couldnt get into cwm was that for some reason I get a short android upgrade each time I boot up. This upgrade deletes cwm. Thats why I found out that I need to install CWM and then immidiately press power-volume up-home, before i let the device power up.

I want to give a big thanks to qwerty12 for the help and much needed patience.

Hi everyone!

This is sort of my first post on here, so please correct me if I'm posting the wrong place or anything like that :)

I'm fairly new to all the rooting and custom ROMs and all, but i enjoy it - it works great!

Now, though, I have a serious issue! I've been running the stock CM10 ROM for about a month now, and I haven't encountered anything huge of problems and been updating it almost every day with newest nightlies. But then suddenly one day my phone couldn't mount the internal storage. And it was like at a random time. I hadn't installed anything or changed anything, i had just taken a picture with the camera..

When I go to settings > storage I get a "Internal storage: 1.97 GB - apps: 868 MB - available: 868MB. and underneath that it says "Internal storage: Mount SD card", however nothing happens when i press it. When using a file manager, I can still see the extSD. I've been googling everything like crazy, tried every solution to what looked to be the same issue but no results! Even when booting CWM and go to mount, it can't mount the mnt/emmc or format it or the SD card. It just says "error running /emmc!".

I haven't tried to factory reset as I would like this to be the last thing tried as I don't like setting my phone up again.

Please help! I can't take photos, watch my photos, listen to music or run half of my apps!

I haven't tried exactly that app, but I've tried a lot of remount / mount SD card apps. But isn't RemountSD just to use extSD instead of internalSD?

Sorry, I can't try it atm. I can't download anything directly from my phone "without an SD" as it says.. and i don't have a USB cable or SD card reader atm.

Does any one know if one person with development capabilty is trying to find a way to root JB ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I talked to bin4ry about his root method in hopes of working with him on modifications for the prime but he is telling me his mod is making the change he is exploiting according to what I am seeing but possibly ASUS disabled the emulator mode in this version of the OS. This is what would give you root access via ADB so changes can be made.

I couldnt get out of him what exactly his "restore timing exploit" is but I understand everthing after that :(

Outside of anything coming up I would say if you must have it now and don't mind voiding your warranty then use the unlocker tool and follow one of many guides on here to do it from an unlocked device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] abazz:
Perhaps we can turn this thread into, or possibly start a new one about the different things people(devs and/or the technically savy) are finding in the quest for an exploit...

We could start with a list of what is known. Of particular interest would be the differences between the complete stock (me btw), was rooted but lost it, was rooted and kept it, and of course anybody who has managed to root it by messing around but not taken notes along the way.

here's what I have found.

from the PC, creating an adb shell allows me to ls /data/local/tmp/ but from a tablet's terminal emulator (shell?) I cant.

Typing id from both it becomes obvious why

From adb shell I get

uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009
(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt)
,3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)

from the tablet I get

uid=10126(u0_a126) gid=10126(u0_a126) groups=1015(sdcard_rw), 1028(sdcard_r),
3003(inet)

I was getting excited last night (burnt the midnight oil) trying what I thought might be a possible exploit with an android supplied command called "run-as". Its limitaions became obvious when I looked at the source code for it. You need an application pakage that is debugable and it cd's to its directory to run the command and a bunch of other things, so I compiled it on C4droid using just the main functions setresuid() and setresgid() but they both failed no matter what value was plugged into them based on UID and GID found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442557

I have yet to exhaust this avenue. I might be able to create an empty package and sign it as a system app, make it debugable and see what that yeilds but its looking like a convoluted process, espicially considering that run as may not work as intended on prime's JB

PS I want to state that I know precious little about linux and even less about the android layer above it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Just as an FYI the way bin4rys tool is supposed to work is an exploit in which it makes a symlink to /data/local.prop and injects ro.kernel.qemu=1 in to local.prop then reboots.

This is supposed to put the device in emulator mode and when you connect with adb shell you get a root shell prompt. All the rest is fairly straightforward/standard. Remount file system as RW, install SU and superuser.apk with their permissions set properly in the proper places then break the symlink to local.prop and reboot.

What would help a lot is if someone who is already rooted can make the attempt, set qemu = 1 in the relinked local.prop then adb shell connect to see if you get a root prompt. Trying to confirm that emulator mode is enabled and you get root access as shell to see if this is even worth pursuing.

I would just use the unlocker tool but I am 2 weeks in to ownership of a new unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] abazz:
yes I have seen that typing adb root gives the message

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

it would indeed be interesting to see if changing "qemu" flags it as a non-production build. My sgs is rooted with CM10 nightlies might try toggling the value on that and see what adb says
