[HELP] galaxy ace, huge problem after cwm

I rooted my galaxy ace and was fine. I tried to install cwm but because i had to previous version i could not flash to zip so i tried to copy the files by my own. After the restart i could not boot to cwm and booted to my default android but with many bugs, i have no access to my settings or contacts. Any way to undo the damage? really need help... or giving me the default files of the system?

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 think new kernels having superSU
So just remove superuser (if superSU working fine)

Hello doc. Is there a way to replace superuser with super su just while installation?

hello doc, i just followed the guide here to root samsung galaxy y pro (GTB-5510) and i successfully rooted it, and I got the superSU app, then I unrooted it (due to it's too risky to root but tried 'coz of curiosity) but the app remains on it, i can't uninstall the superSU app, please help. thanks

Now again you have to root to uninstall it.

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...

i cant remove super su
i had some problems with my phone and i had to flash a stock firmware but after that, super su icon stayed there on my apps and i cant remove it to root my phone again(i think it is unrooted because it keeps showing me the message that it cant find any su bin). i tried to flash su again with cwm, tried factory reset, tried to unistall it directly from su but it doesnt go away and i cant root my phone. Please help me, im new to xda and sorry for my bad english.

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.

[Q] Newly Rooted Note 4 T Mobile help

Hello fellas...just rooted my note 4 using odin. After rooting I tried to install the TWPR flash recovery to no evail. For some reason after downloading the recovery file, when I open it up in odin it get's stuck on the screen ( using my computer). So I cannot install it to my phone....yet. I did download ROM toolbox pro...i do notice there is a recovery option here. Is this the same thing as the TWPR recovery? Do I absolutely need TWPR recovery? really new to this so all and any info will help thanks!

Use an older version of Odin. I'm using 3.04 everyday. Yes you need a custom recovery.

Did you install Chainfire Root before trying to install TWRP. I have a short Odin video on YouTube I made for another member that you can check out. See if it helps you
http://youtu.be/hMOsw0RDeSQ
Remember that this was for a specific member and rom he was installing as far as the Firekat files. The Odin, chain root, and twrp will work for your needs. You might want to update the twrp to 2.8.4.
2.8.1 works fine for me so that what I have installed

make sure your file is a tar file and not an image, if it is good then I would try a different version of Odin as mentioned before. If still no luck I would definitely try a different file location to get the Download or a different version of TWRP. I have files that I know work if you need.
Hope we helped

Also when your loading in the pda slot it takes a minute to populate in the slot sometimes 60 seconds....

That is normal. Sometimes when loading firmware it takes up to 3 minutes or so for the md5 check to be done. Usually root and recovery aren't quite as long but still can take a min.

To answer this question, are you planning on flashing ROMs? If not, I wouldn't worry about TWRP. Some people just like to ROOT and be on their way.

Yeah I realized that when I loaded the chainfire file in odin. But after waiting 10 minutes for the recovery file , I figured something was wrong. If you can provide me with the recovery link that would be great. Its for the note 4 t mobile.

Make sure that after it reboots you turn off your device. Hold volume up, power and the home button at the same time and go into recovery mode and back your device up. Leave what is x'ed off as is but I also back up the modem. Change the location of the back up to be saved to your SD card. Factory wipe, the advanced, checking off dalvik, system, data and cache. DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL or SD card. Reboot your phone. Let it sit for 5 min on the welcome screen then enjoy

Thank you for your help fellas I hit that thanks button as much as I could..lol. Okay so now I think I want to try out a rom but....I don't see any youtube videos of people showing off firekat rom for the note 4...is firekat compatible with the note 4?
