Sorry I am new to this forum. I did searched but the models and versions are different from mine.
Could you please be kind enough to provide me the links? Thanks.

If the models and versions are different then you don't have this phone ???
If you have I9305 then please read multiple identical posts asking the same question day after day .

Root Impossible
Hey Guys, i just tried different Softwares, and the latest Root patch on Dev-Board for the S3 LTE
but i dont know how to work...
i use odin to flash it on CWS, then i restart and get into SD Card, load RootSuperSUBuysBox etc..
it will installed and everythin looks fine,. when i restart my phone then comes this up:
SuperSU has Stoped "ok"
Security Information: The System has blocked a APP called SuperSU to grant access for something etc...
so i guess Knox will take him out,.. but... i go to the settings ---> software and turned of everything what to do with Knox.
finally i downloaded a single SuperSU package and installed it. it works but when i start it the message comes up: u dont have SU, please install SU manually to use SuperSU.
so guys.. im really speechless.. sorry for my bad grammatic but im really sad about this.. i dont know hot to fix that. i dont want this terrible knox anymore on my system!
maybe i do some mistake while flashing and installing SU ?

Hi,
I'm not sure what method you use to root your phone but for me, I managed to gain root access through this method.
1) Root phone using CF auto root for I9305. http://download.chainfire.eu/232/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip Phone says SuperSU has stopped unexpectedly and Knox says an app has attempted to bla bla...
2) Download this zip file here. http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
3) Unzip the file on your computer, go to "common" folder in the extracted files.
4) See this Superuser.apk in the folder? Copy that to your Galaxy S3 I9305. (DO NOT TOUCH OTHER FILES IN THE FOLDER. ONLY COPY THE SUPERUSER.APK FILE.)
5) Make sure Unknown Sources is ticked in Settings > More > Security.
6) Get a file manager and install the Superuser.apk you just copied from your computer to your phone.
7) Open the SuperSU app and a popup will prompt you to disable knox. Disable Knox and you should have root access.

The previous post by me was exactly what i did. I just rebooted my i9305 and SuperSU doesn't force close. I also still have root access even after rebooting my phone. No buttons to press anymore. I'm really sorry if I couldn't help you.
Just to be sure, try re-installing the Superuser.apk again. Then open the new SuperSU app and go to Settings. Is the version number v1.93?
By the way, My I9305 has exactly the same firmware as yours, Baseband: ...XXUEMK1, Build number: ...XXUEML8

Root doesn't work...
I've tried a lot to root my i9305 after the 4.3 update, none of them being successful.
Samsung have also decided to make it even harder for us which means that 4.1.2 cannot be flashed back onto i9305 after 4.3 has been installed..
I'm really pissed off at them for that.
I hope your golf ball/band-aid galaxy s5 goes well.

I managed to root my i9305. I have problems to flash custom roms thou. When will we be able to do that? I don't care about my warranty being void.

Hello,
I make the update today for version 4.3 and i can make root in my S3 LTE.
Can you please explain step by step the process to root the S3.
I´m a beginner and yours explanation is not detailed for me!! Sorry.
Thanks,
MigasMike

For you it would be easiest to download framaroot ( Google search it! ) I know it worked with me on 4.1 but it should work on 4.3 also. Try all three rooting modes in the app

Does it work for MKC?

I used the chainfire auto root method and had the same issue with Knox detecting supersu and stating the supersu had stopped. I found on the forum somewhere that all you have to do is simply ignore the Knox message and go to the play store and simply update supersu, when that's done and you open supersu it will now give you the option of disabling Knox. I've successfully rooted my 4.3 i9305 and installed Wanam exposed along with the Boeffla kernel.

Thanks

For me had worked!
I have a I9305XXUEMK1 with 4.3.
Could i uninstall completely Knox? and use another firewall?
Thanks

after i've reboot the phone it reboots as unrooted same issue like you guys ... the solution comes with updating supersu... i've reboot the phone and still rooted... i really hope this will be a permanent solution.

since you don't care about your warranty it's easy to install a custom ROM...flash a custom Recovery(i recommend CWM) and flash the ROM you want...back-up first in case something bad happens(never did in my case) and follow install instruction for the ROM you are installing...

Hi there, I just rooted my s3 lte 4.3 and it says SU not working, I can't install the apk and I can't update in playstore, what should I do?

root access?

I purchased att tab one week again, rooted using superoneclick and flashed to overcome 2.3.3 as instructed, everything works out fine.
Soon after I installed Titantium backup root, it showed "not rooted access", and I tried other apps (root explorer, tweeks), same message happens, and z4root superoneclick fail to do the magic this time.
Also, I tried to flash cf-root 2.3.3 JQ1 to root this tab, still no luck.
Just want to know how to root my tab? searched the board, could not find solution, any suggestion is appreciated.
My tab information:
baseband 19000ugjk3
pda: P1000xxjq1
phone: 19000ugjk3
csc: P1000Oxajq1
When you go to the app list do you see Superuser?? If I recall correctly, all you had to do is flash the gb stock safe in odin, and that should have given u all the root you needed.
Yes, I can see superuser in app list, and having no problem opening it.
So how can I do this, restocking GB-safe, can you provide more detailed steps, thanks very very much, I desperately need to unlock this tab.
ok when u open superuser can you click on log and see if superuser is denying your apps or if you maybe unknowingly denied them superuse access? The easiest way I can think of it to redo it again. download the gingerbread stock safe on the overcome website in my sig, backup all and i mean all your apps you care about, texts whatever it is. then download odin 1.7. Follow the overcome guide and you should be fine. Once your done your tab should already have superuser. Download and install the overcome RC1 full and flash that threw recovery.. following the guide again. you should be good to go. Hopefully your titanium backups are on external sd card
thanks, I checked the log, no denying of any applications, I will try to re-flashing once again, and see what happens. The only confusion I am having is that flashing overcome Rom requires a rooted system, since my current system is not completely rooted, is it ok? will this procedure brick my tab?
Again, thanks!
restocking shouldnt brick your tab, just clear your system and start fresh. But if your worried about bricking, make sure you are using a computer that wont just turn off in the middle of the flashing process or kids running around knocking your tab off the connector while flashing. If for some reason odin is not successful, just clear odin and try again without disconecting anything. Hope this helps
restocking ROM, seems everything is ok, thanks again,
But I could not find a version of root explorer working in this version,
it keeps shutting down saying "xx stop working", wired!
busybox
have you tried to re-install busybox?
when you open Ti Backup, click the problems button on the bottom. This will usually prompt you to update busybox. Just yes to whatever it says and wait for the application to restart.
Hit thanks if I helped!
I updated busybox through ti as suggested.
Reinstall root explorer 2.12.4, once opened, granted root access, still no luck, "sorry, the application root explorer (process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again.
really bothers me right now, any alternative app for the same function?

What apk is it? From where are you trying to install it? If it is not from the play store check that unknown sources is enabled.

Strange one.
Sounds like a permissions problem.
Did you flash BusyBox when you rooted??? Search XDA for BusyBox for info on that.
Assuming you have a functioning CWM you can boot into recovery and Fix Permissions. Search XDA for CWM Menu Options for info on that.
A good place to start in diagnosing your problem is with Dr Ketan's Root Guide.
This is the bible for rooting N7000 Notes.

[Q] SuperSU "install supersu into /system" ??

Hi!
I have rooted SGSA and update the SuperSU app from Google Play.
I see in options that there is an option "install supersu into /system"
Is unchecked from default.
What it does?? (i search Internet but i didn't find any information...)
It is good to check it? or it isn't necessary?
Thank you.

You can't root that way. If you use JB use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087424
P.S. Sorry I read it too quickly. You do not need to do that.
Yes but what is the meaning to make SuperSU a system app??
If some one knows please explain...
Thank you!!
Its mean that supersu will install like other system apps and cannot uninstall unless you revert back that setting or delete using file browser or titanium backup

1. That you can't uninstall it like other apps installed from play store
2. Need to remove it from system/app folder
3. Does not mean anything to it functionality
beware
I accidentally ran the script that installed SuperSu in a protected mode and made it a system app. Since then, I can no longer flash CM11 on S3 SGH-i747. Recovery after the install asks if I want to fix root, yes-no....not matter what I answer, the rom just reverts back to stock so beware.

If I choose it will it stabilize the system so when I reboot it will keep root?
I had it all set up rooted and SuperSu and went to back it up so I could just use twrp recovery and restore it and still be rooted and just like it is after rooting and all.
I made the back up and did the required reboot and when it finished I lost root.
Will this work?

On Galaxy S Advance I9070? Check if you have USB debugging ON (when you said you lost root). This will not make it more stable, SuperSU.apk is just a GUI for controling root. And you root with SU file that is pushed to system (can't remember what folder exacly).

The USB debugging has a check mark . Is that the way it's supposed to be to save root during a reboot or do I revoke USB debugging authorization ?

I had it rooted with Kingroot.
As far as I know that's the only way for this model of device.
Then using MrW0lf's method I replaced and removed Kinguser for SuperSU.
I was still rooted.
I wanted to make a backup so when using restore I could retain root and SuperSU in my system.
The setting of choosing to make SuperSU a system app in stead of as it is, I thought would make it possible to keep root.
I have used restore while having root with Kinguser and kept root.
I am not understanding why I loose root when restoring while having SuperSU.

I do not thing that moving SuperSu to System partition would help you. Main file that enables root permissions are not in that apk, you can install SuperSu from the Play store. That is not the problem.

Easy rooting on kitkat 4.4.2

Hey all I was browsing around other galaxy s devices forums stumbled across this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157. Now I downloaded the towel root and it worked great I'm not on the latest Ota but it should work with that as well. Make sure you use the latest so from here http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip. I just extracted it and used the apk file with great success. No more flashing back and forth in odin.
Added TetheringProvision.apk use root explorer and go to system/apps/ and change the tethering apk and odex to .bak and paste the one posted here. Make sure to change permissions to rx-r-r restart phone and Hotspot should enable or at least it does here.

Just used it on mine and it worked just as advertised!
I have taken the latest OTA update (I was previously on the pulled 4.4.2 and then received the 60-someodd MB update last week).
Also adding in that the device still shows official on the status page. I didn't verify the knox counter for myself, but the tr author shows that it did not trip his.

Can you elaborate on the "change permissions to rx-r-r"? How do you do that?

Firstly mount system in whatever file manager you use after giving it root access. Navigate to system/app long press on the apk. Select option to change permissions. On ES file Manager which I suggest you use,look at pic below it will show you what boxes to select.
I gave this a try on the newer NE9 with no luck. It doesn't get past the AT&T "verification" that I have tethering on my plan.
Any ideas?
Tried this on a stock I9295 running 4.2.2 but SU wont install binary as it says it cant. Tried Busybox installer and it says the phones rooted but fails when trying to install any busybox version. Anyone else tried on 4.2.2 with success?
EDIT : Tried again on stock 4.4.2 and it works perfectly

I believe this is for the i537 (USA AT&T version of the S4 Active) and not the international i9295 version
Success!! I was able to root and use the tethering application using the instructions above. I have the NE3 version.
It does ask you to call 611 when you turn on the hotspot though...but the it connects a few seconds later and stays on.
Is there a way to prevent the annoying message to call 611 when you turn on the tethering app?
Thanks again.

[Problem] Wifi isnt working after "rooting" I9305

Hello there everyone, total noob here.
I have tried to "root" my S3 LTE using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394 (or more likely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45291825&postcount=306 ). Everything went great, Odin has shown a pass and it was successful while installing CWM, then I installed Supersu through CWM (only thing I did differently was putting a supersu zip file on internal storage) and that was a success too. I did everything like it said, even without plugging out my phone. After rebooting everything went down...
1. Knox is blocking SuperSU, someone reccmmended that I should have tried to disable it by installing supersu.apk manually, but then it has shown a popup that supersu doesnt have access to binary files. I have checked with root checker and it said that device isnt rooted...
It wouldnt bother me much, because having root isnt necessity for me, but...
2. I cannot access internet via wifi. It connects to router, signal is pretty decent, but still, when I try to use a build-in browser/chrome it just doesnt connect. Nevertheless, I can connect via 3/4g with no problems at all.
Now, I dont have root AND internet access.
Other info that might me useful:
Android 4.3
Null IMEI: no
Baseband: i9305XXUEMK1
I have performed factory reset, still no use.
Any help regarding repairing wifi, getting root access or bringing back state before "rooting" would be appreciated.
Regards,
Maziu92.

Just download the "SuperSU version 2.02" apk and install it. Its provided in this thread. (its newer than whats currently on Google play)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249
It will ask to disable KNOX. select YES.

The best thing i can suggest you is moving to the new 4.4.4 Stock Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
Use Odin v3.07
and then (if u want) root it using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5."
and install "SuperSU version 2.02"

Oh, I did it, that's why it said the binary was missing. But I did it other way around:
1. I have flashed CWM like it said in second link provided in first post
2. Installed SuperSU 2.02 from zip file on internal card though CWM instead of file provided in thread (I could have installed remove-boot-recovery too, but I didnt notice that I needed that. Anyway, I did that later)
3. Rebooted and tried to turn on - supersu was still blocked by knox :/ BUT!
4. I have installed manually supersu.apk, then opened it via installator (important! Dont tap 'done' but 'run'!) and next I didnt get the "missing binary" popup but if I want to disable KNOX. Well, yeah, I do, so I tapped OK and it looped and looped... http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2a92qq/supersu_stuck_disabling_knox/cisq087 found this soulution and it worked (reboot phone and start supersu again). Sorry about my short memory, but I think I needed to install supersu.apk manually again and tap disable once more time, but disabling KNOX took a few seconds.
5. And then I went to the settings in Supersu and tapped option 'install supersu into /system', rebooted and it worked fine!
5.a To make sure it really works I downloaded (via 3g ) Root checker and it said it is rooted.
So now I have root, yaay, but still no Wifi access :/

I have been using odin 3.07.
Really, It is the only way to get back wifi? Are there any other options apart this?
Nooby questions:
-will it work with my phone? It says that its "MODEM: I9305XXUFNI3" and mine is XXUEMK1.
-in the meantime I have read about efs files/folder, what are they for and should I somehow backup them?
-while flashing 4.4.4 it is possible that my IMEI will go null?
-will it be possible to go back to 4.3?
I dont want to brick it or anything, thats why I am asking.
And of course, thanks for your help, Tharinduwijewardane ^^
Edit:
Actually, I have managed to repair my WIFI connection without flashing new rom etc.... So what was wrong, you will ask? Me.
I have downloaded adblock (before factory reset) and it asked to connect via proxy, so I did. And then I have disabled it because it was blocking SuperSU along with KNOX. And my phone tried to connect with internet via proxy, but it couldnt, because of this configuration.
Found this by complete coincidence (my GF told me to check if I get connection though Chrome and it said that it cant connect because of proxy settings). It is strange that this configuration was still there, even after factory reset.
Oh well, case solved, thanks again for helping and even everyone else for checking this out^^
glad to hear u got it fixed.
:good: :good:
