Hi. I have Android 2.3.6 on my Galaxy Ace. I wanted to root it with upd_1.zip. I used the stock recovery. It said installation complete, so I rebooted. The Superuser icon has appeared in my app drawer so I was very happy that it was successful, but my SuperUser says that I haven't got SU binaries, so I haven't got any root access. I've searched for similar problems, but I didn't find any. What do I do now?

Sorry buddy, never heard of such an issue. I guess you try to Unroot and Root again. U may try xda for some better Root procedure or search my blog www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in.
Do let me know if it is sorted out by Re-Rooting.
pls help
So, I unrooted and rooted and there's the same issue. Original Superuser says - Checking available version failed, so I tried to delete the app data - that didn't work. I updated the Superuser and it says that I doesn't have SU binaries.

I actually have a similar sounding problem but arrived at it differently.
My phone had been rooted and working OK for over a year. At some point the latest superuser binary stopped functioning with adb wireless.
So I downloaded SuperSU a few months ago and it's different binary fixed that particular issue. So all was working fine until failing to update that binary today. I'm now in the same boat as you but don't have a clue how or why.
This 2 files are the same as my upd_1.zip. The very same. My upd_1.zip has xbin with busybox, su etc. but it doesn't want to be flashed for some reason. The only files in my xbin folder (in the phone) are : busybox, dexdump, although I flashed the other needed binaries. What is this? Is this my phone's fault?
@edit : Can I flash CWM without those binaries?

Yes you can, and then you can try to flash root again.
If not you can flash CF-Root (only for Gingerbread!!) maybe it works :S
1º Flash via recovery CWM
http://www.mediafire.com/download/u331vcwkr36c28n/CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip
2º Flash via CWM APP, it'll fix the bootanimation
when your android will boot, go to CWM app (in your drawer) and select "Flash kernel" and select this file
http://dfiles.eu/files/1sfl9qotm
I flashed CWM Recovery, and now when I select install zip from sdcard and select root file, it says error 7 - update aborted.
@edit - I found the AceGingerRoot.zip. Is it legit and can I install it on GT-S5830 (it has different MD5 than upd_1.zip and root.zip).

I've always used Acegingeroot to get root permissions... do what you consider more solutions, impossible
Acegingerroot didn't worked. No errors at all, but still no root access.

What rom are you using?
Is GT-S5830 your device model?
Did you try CF-Root b84?
Have you got enough free internal memory?
if you have Thinkfree installed, try to delete it flashing this file before flashing root file:

I use the stock ROM - GINGERBREAD.XWKTQ (from the Polish mobile network Play Mobile)
Yes, I have GT-S5830 (checked twice in settings and on box)
No, i didn't tried it.
I have 54 MB left.
I have ThinkFree.
Is ThinkFree Office the problem?

The last firmwares haven't enough space in system partition to push correctly root files, I don't know about your rom, I'm using KTM form Spain as base and I've never had a trouble, but if your problem is that your rom is using all the internal memory (system partition) you couldn't push root files, so you can try deleting ThinkFree from the system partition and then try to root your phone...

Hey, but when I have got CWM flashed, can I flash a custom ROM without those binaries? I just wanted to root my Ace because I wanted to have ICS.

umm I think, yes... I've read post where people have flashed CWM and then a custom rom, but I wouldn't advise you to do it directly... anyway you can try it if you want and report then what happened
Actually, I'm gonna wait till more people on forum will help me. I don't want to risk so much. I don't know what can I do.
refreshing, waiting for help

LOL! Well thought out! I wouldn't do it either
if upd_1, acegingeroot, and cf-root didn't work and you want to root your device, the best way is to use Odin and to flash a fresh stock rom which it allows you to flash this files

OK. I'm gonna do that, but can you post me some links with download and instructions for my Ace?
And - if I flash a new ROM with Odin, will my CWM recovery disappear?
Oh, I found my ROM on Samfirmware from Play Mobile (XWKTQ 2.3.6), so there's no point of installing it right? I need just a fine ROM with polish language.
EDIT - I almost forgot - I didn't tried the Delete_thinkdroid.zip thingy. I'm gonna flash it now and post the results.
EDIT 2 - WHAT?! I flashed Delete_thinkdroid.zip and it didn't even deleted it. I still have ThinkFree and it's working! Guess i'm gonna need that new ROM. It seems that my ROM just refuses to use recovery flashing in any way.

You can use whatever rom you want, here it is the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

Hello,
I yesterday got new at&t Atrix hd with android 4.0.4. I updated to newest 4.1.2 (I think). I rooted it with Motochopper. I tried to install CWM with Myth Tool. Didn't work.
Finally I installed CWM with this method.
Install CWM Recovery by Epinter
Read Epinter's RAZR HD CWM Thread
Download the recovery image
On stock rom, navigate to /system/etc and rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
Reboot into fastboot -- use "adb reboot bootloader" from Terminal\Command Prompt
Wipe the existing recovery -- "fastboot erase recovery" !
Flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img"
That's it, CWM is installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I installed [ROM] CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) for AtrixHD from zip in CWM. Everything was working great till turned Atrix off.
Then it stuck on "bootloader unlocked" screen. Most of the time I was not able to enter CWM but one time somehow I managed to enter CWM, if I use restart option in CWM after restart android loaded successfully. Tried restart again but I was not able to enter recovery and got stuck again. After messing around with volume/power key somehow android loaded again successfully (without enter recovery).
Now it's working but I'm scared to restart or do anything.
What do you think? What should I do? Is it ROM problem, system or what?
Currently there are no install-recovery.sh (or install-recovery.sh.bak) file. Maybe this could be problem?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Are you sure the install-recovery.sh file is not installed? Just to make sure, I would install Root Explore to use that to check to make sure.
I don't have root access but I think I should be able to see that file, right?
Do you have root access? You need to install a file manager like Root Explorer so you can easily change the file permissions and rename the file by adding .bak to the end of the file name.
Weird, I don't see it either. I see it in mine though.
No, I don't have root access. I hope it's ROMs issue. CM10.2 doesn't come with root access. There are weird things going on with my phone. I really hope that other ROM will fix that. Thanks for reply.

Maybe you could install Root Explorer. Maybe that will allow you to see the file.
I also have problems getting straight into recovery sometimes but if I hold vol up+vol down+power I can select recovery from there. as far root on cm 10.2 flash superuser.zip
Can you tell me what key combinations you use for what purpose? I doubt you make a mistake there...

I know I missing something but WTF am I missing?

It's still not working. When I swipe to install it says it failed. Then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe or back. I click reboot then it tells me superuser permissions are messed up would I like to fix them. I click yes swipe then I'm back where I started. With superuser and not supersu.

I am curently using slim kat 4.4.2 (which comes with TWRP recovery) and want to root the phone again...

Try to flash Shaaan's JB root zip, or try to flash SlimKat again.
Last and option that will work 100% is to flash stock JB from Odin and root it.

Two short questions: (thanks btw for everything, I love you guys)
How do I install a recovery again? I tried to update to TWRP 2.6.3.3 via Goo manager and it just deleted the old one but nothing else, so now I can't go into recovery. How do I install it again, it's possible to do it without installing android from scratch again, I just can't remember.
Thank you
ps. is there a Kitkat Rom that works properly, without black boxes and obvious problems?

You should be able to copy and paste the ulmage of a recovery into your boot folder using a file manager that has root privileges, Rom Toolbox lite should work if your current one doesn't.
Milaq's KK is working flawlessly. If you are not on data/media yet you will need to do a completely new install and resize your partitions with the standard CMW and then upgrade to Jcsullin's new data/media .
