flashed several times but still unable to root - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

hi guys,
I'm a complete noob to all this but i have read through the q and a section and the noob guide to rooting.
I am running 4.3 on a 19305 and attempted to flash with odin 3.09.
i first tried flashing with CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar
and later recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.4.7-i9305
both times ive got the pass message on odin but when i check root status with root checker it says no access.
since i tried to flash i now get what i think are Knox alerts telling me its blocking things that are trying to access root or something.
i've tried copying supersu on to my sd card and installing from there and that hasn't helped.
If i put my phone in to download mode now this is what i see,
Odin mode
Product name GT-19305
Custom Binary Download: yes (6 count)
Current Binary: custom
Knox warranty void: 1
AP SWREV: AR
Can anyone tell me what to try next
thanks guys

When you flash cf auto root and you go to Play Store, do you see un update available of SuperSu? If yes, update and open SuperSu app to disable Knox.

Once you have flashed CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar re-boot.
Then download SU from the Google Play and install then reboot again, Root should then be ready...

I went to supersu in the play store and it only gave me the option to open it.
I tried un uninstalling the updates and re installing and rebooting.
I'm still getting this though

SOLVED
THANKS for everyone's help! ,
I booted in to recovery mode and installed the supersu zip file and then rebooted.
Loaded up supersu and this time it worked. It asked if I wanted to uninstall knox which I did.
I checked with root checker and I now have root'
Heaps happy

[Q] Lost root I think

After a failed attempt to flash Galaxian Kernel (got stuck in bootloops), I flashed back to the chainfire root kernel. After having booted my phone, all of my apps seem to have lost root access. Superuser is still there and it listed all of my apps with access. I told it to forget them all but that did not remedy the situation. So I think I may have lost root access. CWM works, although I tried reinstall super user via a zip update but that was also unsuccessful. CWM was unable to extract it. Reinstall from the market also did not help.
My question is, would the best way forward be for me to flash stock kernel and then reflash Chainfire to regain access root (all via odin)? Any risk associated with this?
Thanks for any help
go to recovery mode and use the option advanced-->fix permissions.. this should help u..;D
Thanks for the tip unfortunately it did not seem to fix the problem Wondering if busy box got broken or something.
hmmm then try this:
1. use lippol94's ultimate cleaning script( i attached it for u)
2. flash cf kernel
3. fix permissions.
this should fix the problem...
Hey,
Followed your instructions and the script executed successfully. Reflashed CF but still the same problem unfortunately! Not sure what's going on! Thank you though
Have you got busybox installed??? If not try to dl from market, install and reboot.
S.U.R.F.A.C.E 2.something
Just tried that but thought the kernel already included it. When I attempted to install it it said that root access was denied and it could not get access from superuser.
Maybe try terminal emulator and type su?
Or fugu root?
I'd probably just clash the kernel again though.
S.U.R.F.A.C.E 2.something
Tried the emulator. Permission denied.
Would Fugu require me to flash back to stock?
I have reflashed cf twice now, no luck. Maybe reflashing back to stock Kernel (I don't have to do pda/modem files right?) would work.
Just flash kernel as pda.
S.U.R.F.A.C.E 2.something
Cheers for all the help. In the end, nothing worked. Repartitioning and reflashing stock ended up doing the trick.
Thanks again

Lost Root Access..

Hello everyone
I decided to change from SuperSU to SuperUser so I installed SuperUser (before unistalling SuperSU, maybe the problem..) and clicked 'change superUser application" in superSU. Told me to reboot, but after I lost root access... even unistalling rootapps/clearing cache/data or root with AIO Toolkit didn't work.. I can't flash "SuperUser.zip" that I found somewhere on xda, gives me an error
I'm on new Bl, DjangoManouche 1.6..
So how could I get root access again ?
Thank for your help.. I'have tried everything I found for now..
Flashed this file SU313-BIN311_4ICS.zip from recovery, no errors, found somewhere on the internet and worked like a charm
Sorry for the useless thread, was a bit disturbed by this issue I didn't manage to solve

[Q] SuperSU asks me a question about binaries, what should I choose ?

Hi guys, I've got a Samsung SIII MINI GT-I8190N with Android 4.1.2 and I've just rooted it, I used
Odin 3.07 and
"recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar.md5" and
"UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" that I downloaded here http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
I followed this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37980209&postcount=1
However, after it asked me to reboot, there was another question, that the author of the tutorial didn't anticipate, in fact it asked me:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot."
I could either choose Yes or No, if I chose yes it would flash, if I chose No it wouldn't flash.
Eventually I chose yes, the phone was rebooted, I checked with "Root checker" and the phone is rooted.
Then I went on the Play Store and I got asked to update SuperSU and I said yes and it updated it.
Then I noticed that SuperSU was installed, I clicked on it, and I got asked this question:
"If you have a custom recovery that can be used to(try to) install the SU binary. This is recomended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary ?"
I can either choose "Normal" or ""TWRP/CWM"
I have no idea what to do, I'm a newbie, please if someone could give me an advice I'd really appreciate it.
I think I already took a great gamble when I clicked on yes when I got asked to flash, however I had previously browsed on this forum and some guy said that if you clicked on yes it would flash the CWM recovery, instead if you clicked on NO it would keep the samsung default recovery.

With the "Yes" you have clicked, you now have sto stock recovery (not the CWM recovery).
That means that you can only update the SU binary only with the "Normal" option (on "Normal" or ""TWRP/CWM" prompt).
Try the "normal" option and tell us if the su binary updated successfully.
Although, it is better for you to have the CWM Recovery (and not the stock recovery), so just repeat the first (named "install CWM recovery") of the two steps of the tutorial you mentioned, and NOT the second (named "download the root file"), and then try to update the su binary using the option "TWRP/CWM" (on "Normal" or ""TWRP/CWM" prompt).

Root lost again on i9305

Hi.
I have rooted the i9305 with the CF Auto Root and Odin. I have then installed CWM recovery through Odin, and installed CM13 and Gapps mini via recovery.
The phone boots fine, and Superuser is installed.
However, when I reboot, Superuser is gone and root is lost.
I have wiped data and cache+dalvik, and rooted again with the same CF Auto Root method. It does the trick again.
BUT: After reboot, SU is gone and root is lost again.
I have NOT "fixed root" in recovery (it asks when I reboot).
What could I try?
Use TWRP may help. Else when u flash cm13 don't flash cf autoroot as it comes with root and SU if I'm nt wrong. Else go to developer options and enable root access to "apps and adb". See if any of those helps.
Have You tried checking "Respect CM root settings" in SuperSU app?

How can I remove SuperSU root on Galaxy S6 ? / if root removed stuck in bootloop

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 using Odin (v.3.11.1) and SuperUser (the name of the .ZIP file was N920_Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_Kernel_included.zip), and I want to get rid of the root and remove any trace of it. I tried getting rid of the root from the SU app itself and it resulted in my phone being stuck in a bootloop. To get it working again I had to boot into recovery mode (TWRP) during the bootloop so that I could reinstall the SU .zip file, and now it works fine, but I want to get rid of the root access and any traces of it so that I can get the official Netflix app from Google Play (they made it so that rooted users won't be able to download it from Google Play), because most .APKs that I tried are quite troublesome and full of issues. I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to be asking this on, but I am new to this website.
ALSO, it's probably worth noting that my phone first got stuck in a bootloop when I was attempting to install TWRP, and even though the install itself succeeded and TWRP recovery mode was working, my phone had been placed in a bootloop, and if it wasn't for the fact that I had already downloaded the SuperSU .ZIP file on my phone I don't think I would have managed to get out of the bootloop, so I simply flashed the SuperSU to get it working again and out of the bootloop.
I would really love some help here, I really have no idea what to do in order to get rid of both the root and the traces without bricking my phone.
Thank you.

As far as I'm aware LINK TO ARTICLE, Netflix is simply hiding the app from the Play Store if you are rooted. This means that you should be able to download the official netflix app from elsewhere and install it yourself. You can download the latest version here (ApkMirror is a very reputable source).
If all else fails, you can always just restore the phone to the factory set-up. This involves re-installing the firmware and will cause you to lose your settings and files. Follow this guide here: http://rootmygalaxy.net/unroot-restore-samsung-galaxy-s6-back-to-stock/
Can you remove root without deleting or factory resetting your phone? what happen to that? bootloops for me too. had to reroot, but that messed me up and had to reflash firmware lost everything..
