Hi all.
As stated in the subject, I can't reboot into recovery mode using ROM Manager. I'd like to flash CM. but when I try to reboot into recovery to start backup, wipe, flash, nothing happened. It will just stay in ROM Manager.
Tried downloading different version of CWM from the latest version down to v5.0.0.1 but to no avail.
Read some posts regarding this problem saying that I should download v3 something of CWM but when I try to download older CWM version from RM -> All CWM Recoveries, only 5.0.0.1 is the lowest.
Any idea? I really like to flash CM into my OB. Thanks in advance.
Did you flashed alternative recovery? Is the first option in rom manager. be mindful that you have to be connected to the internet ffirst.

Yes did that. Actually from version 5.2.x.x downgrade to v5.0.0.1 doesn't work for me. RM won't take me to recovery mode. It doesn't do anything after a reboot request.
Please help. Thanks for the reply btw.
Is your phone rooted?

Yes. my OB is rooted. got apps working like SetCPU, App2SD, etc...
Try updating the su binary and super user app, or try using supersu. Also, check if rom manager has been granted su access in superuser app.
Try using terminal emulator and the command "reboot recovery"

tried running it in emulator with reboot recovery but it factory resets my phone...

That means you have no recovery installed. Try following a guide in the development section. Just search for it. Install CWM and pray

What about the other suggestions i made? Try checking su and su permissions. And then procceed to flash recovery from rom manager.

Downloaded and run the latest SOClick, but it says the phone is rooted and I clicked yes to continue and stuck at Step # 7. don't know what to do after.
Reboot the phone, ran Gingerbreak, took me 10+mins but I think it's not working anymore so I had to reboot the phone as my boss was screaming at me thru skype why he can't contact me...
I'm lost.
there is no method that works with stock 2.3.4 version, I recommend to look for a patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash app. I'm not on my PC right now so maybe tomorrow I'll give you the links, but you can try look for them yourself smart flash is stickied and search for v20o patched bin.

Try any of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392 They are patched. I have a patched v20Q but my upstream is slow. If you want to patch by yourself, install Linux.

And there's a superuser.zip on that thread (instructions). just browse a little.

Find it in google play and if you see and it needs update let it update then after that you will see the box with uninstall, use it to uninstall.
It just un-installs the update. I removed it from the menu inside and lost root. Then flashed speed mod for rooting and ran into partial root, had "shell has been granted superuser permissions" flashing continuously. Then had to boot into download mode and flash firmware again.

I haven't rooted again doc, and i uninstall it using the settings on the superSU, the Full Unroot, but it's too long i thought it hangs, and I canceled it and now it says SU binary cant be found. This is a problem! lol the latter made me laugh thanks for the reply.
P.S. I used factory setting and it's still there. (rooting again makes my hair in the back go up :/)
Without root access you can't change files in System ROM, so it will remain there even after factory reset.
If you are worrying about re root, then just flash Stock ROM with Odin, it will get removed.

Hello, I am having this same problem...I was rooted....then did a factory reset, upgraded to 4.1.2 (stock firmware) and now superSU is still stuck on my sytem. When i flash the stock firmware, supersu automatically starts to install updates from google play during reboot?? Once the updates install it still says i don't have root and also says "the supersu binary is not installed"....I just want to unroot it and get rid of superSU so that i can re root....when i try to re root as of now i get a bunch of errors like acore. has stopped, media has stopped etc and my phone wont work....please help?? I understand that reloading the stock firmware with odin is supposed to remove super SU but its not....I also cant find anything to do with superSU on my phone anywhere once i uninstall the updates....very weird...i just want to be rooted again...

have u fixed ur problem? ive got the same issue
Before flashing the new rom, use format system, data cache and preload. Then boot i to download mode and flash a stock rom. SU will be cleared.
Or
If su is accessible, there is an option to uproot from su settings.

Hi, so if I understood well, the only thing I have to do to get rooted my S3 with 4.4.4 is to flash the CF-autoroot via Odin, isn't it? Then how can I install a new Superuser.apk if it brings me a force close trying to open the one already installed caused because of Knox?
Has anyone tried that method already? Does it actually work?
this works, but you have to untick "reset" in Odin and after flashing the recovery disconnect it, pull the battery, put it back and start the recovery manually, then flash supersu .zip and the other one that prevents the original recovery to be written back
If you let the phone reboot after flashing custom recovery, it will overwrite the custom one with stock one - tried that earlier today
---
sorry, misunderstand, if you update supersu just open knox and close after it shows you options to lock screen - then the supersu handles knox blocking properly
---
edit2: I tried with supersu by chainfire, didn't test with other party superuser.apk

well, just to be sure, you may not allow the phone to enter normal boot mode after flashing custom recovery
so step-by-step how I did it:
(you have to put both zips from cf-root to your sd card before you proceed any further)
1. phone in download mode, odin->untick "reboot"
2. choose your recovery file->start
3. as soon as you see "reset" in Odin window, you may ignore the message on the phone "do not turn off" and pull the battery
4. re-insert the battery, boot with vol-up+home+power combo (if you don't enter recovery, but the phone boots normally - restart from scratch, as your custom recovery just got overwritten)
5. flash your supersu and recovery disabler (both files from cf-root)
6. you may reboot to system now, set up know, update (or download) supersu from play store, allow to disable knox
that's it, I used philZ touch recovery
--------
info from another forum: it's said you can root with kingoroot
so after you root you can use semi-automated recovery install using skipsoft united - after you root, you send the script to prevent recovery overwriting via adb, you got to download mode, flash your recovery and you're done
Thank you adamuadamu !!!
It works!

Thanks for the explanation adamuadamu,
However, just to be sure, apart from the recovery disabler file, the other CF-Root file that I need to flash is the "update supersu2.02.zip"? I've read a lot of posts explaining the same procedure but no link to the actual files that need to be flashed, and sometimes the reference is to generic names like CF-root and when you search for it there is a lot of different files, etc.. I'm a newbie, so sometimes I don't know if any version of Philz will work or if it's better to use just plain CWM, if CF-auto-root is the way to go or just the old CF-Root (last version for i9305 says is for 4.1.1).
Thanks in advance for the reply and explanation.
Cheers,
Da Fig
Do you have to flash the custom recovery first and then SuperU? Is it possible to just flash SuperU and then using Triangle Away in order to root 4.4.4?
I want root but want to stay as stock as possible.

I remember using some older SuperSu (1.9xx) as the files were already on my SD Card
In case you need proper and updated files and you're a bit afraid of confusing them - google for skipsoft toolkit, choose your device, wait for the program to download appropriate files and then in order to get the files you need, you'd have to (all from my memory, in case you'd need more detailed info, let me know and I can check within couple of hours, as I'm not in front of my private PC now)
1. go to root options and use option to push supersu and recovery disabler to your card
2. let the program reboot your phone into download mode
3. contrary to the advice onscreen, use odin, but untick "Auto Reboot", flash your recovery (the program will show you the path to newest recoveries it downloaded upon first run)
4. wait for the recovery being flashed, disconnect the phone, pull the battery. DON'T CLOSE ODIN yet, you may need it if you fail to boot into recovery directly!
5. start the phone using 3-key combo into recovery. if you fail, you'll need to go back to step 2.
6. flash both files copied in step 1.
7. reboot into system
personally I stick with PhilZ touch, as it always checks for root when leaving recovery and offers to repair it
8. go to play store and download or update supersu by chainfire (whatever applies to you)
9. run SuperSU, agree to disable KNOX
Thanks for the reply adamuadamu, I'll try this and see. Apparently most supersu or the correspondent CF-auto-root will do the trick. I'll try your method first, otherwise I'll start playing with different files.
Cheers.

I installed Philz Touch Recovery and fix it all.
I can't enter to the cwm, because my power on button is dont work.
i know an application what can restart in cwm but this application need to root
so i must root 4.1 under 4.1 system(under touchwiz)
is there any solution?
or is there any solution to root 4.1 under ODIN?
Probably by using Towelroot
google it, first site that comes up.
Click the labda and download the app. open it and click make it rain.
afterwards your phone should restart and you should be rooted. Then you van download Superuser from the playstore.

This should probably be done using Odin on the PC. There are multiple tutorials on how to do this for your phone specifically, so I will not go in to much detail yet, but basically the way it works is that you flash a recovery using Odin and use the app on your phone to restart in the recovery.
The broken start button does make everything a bit more complicated, but it definately is possible.
Never forget, Google is your friend (And me to ofcource)
