glad to hear...

So is the only difference between these two threads (this one and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140110) that the other is for the HKTW... orrrrr? =) and thanks anyway, I'm about to use your .zip right now

Worked beautifully when preinstall didn't, thank you

wow! this is awesome!

This is great!!!

I used this to obtain root in OTA 4.5.91 but I'm have some problems. Root explorer and terminal can access root, but Titanium Backup, busybox, and SQLite Editor cant get root access. USB debugging is turned on, and same for 3rd party install.
Anyone have any idea what's causing this?

Can you read/write in root explorer?

can you elaborate. I am in fastboot mode. How do I install CWM?

Hi,
For me, the flashing appears to be successful, but when I boot into recovery I'm getting the stock recovery. I think the issue is with /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, but I have no clue how to remove this file from my phone. I can't change the permissions or the file even with root access. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

What did you flash?

What I flash is not the problem
update cm9 aokp webos style to final buid =ok, but fc with Google play so clear data app but still have fc, so I decide to flash gapps again via goo manager but when I select flash rom goo manager tell me that I don't have a recovery script...
so I update twrp via goo manager =ok and finally I select my gapps zip with wipe cache and dalvik, it reboot and stuck in moboot loading twrp img. And then impossible to boot nothing, after many reboot, restart, pushing all the button it finally boot.
Now it work normally except if I boot on twrp.
Voilà
I want to go back to cwm, that's all.

DL CWM here http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/uImage.CWM6_tenderloin_20121204 . Then with an app like Rom toolbox lite copy and paste it into your boot folder , then delete the TWRP ulimage and edit your default recovery , and you should be good to go.

ok, thanks buddy
what do you mean by edit your defaut recovery, i guess it's a text file to mod.

Yes below are 2 screenshots 1 with ES File explorer and the other with Rom Toolbox when you tap to open select open as Text and edit/change with RB text editor this is assuming you have Rom Toolbox lite or another text editor with root privileges.
Hope this helps.

When I went to boot drive I saw several ulmage files. Am I to delete all and replace with the one posted in this thread? Is this how I will delete TWRP?

NO just delete the TWRP ulimage AFTER you have successfully copied/ placed your CWM their . Then edit the Android. default. recovery file .
I hope this makes it clearer.
If you have any other questions post or PM me.
Good luck.
The images shown are after I deleted TWRP and copied CWM

funny , I have the exact same problem since yesterday and I cant get rid of TWRP in the boot menu even after using acmeuninstaller + webOS doctor.
Advice to everyone, do not install TWRP twice on this device. Goo manager is too lame to see its already there and for some reason, it messes up the boot manager.

[Q] root problem

hello
im currently using an android 4.0.3 XXLQ3 rom
my main objective is to install PARANOIDANDROID rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115167
in order to get root+safe kernel + cwm i used phiz recommended method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
after i flashed it i rebooted the device i now have cwm but i do not have root or supersu app and i dont know if im on safe kernel or not
i read on the forum that lq3 room has some sort of a space problem as described here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
saying:
1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !
PS : If you can't see superSU after flashing above file(sometimes happen if there is too low space like in LQ3 ROM, then use this Root_superSU, followed by same above Root_busybox file.

so my questions are:
1. how do i get root from my current state? can i use the root_supersu in cwm instead of stock recover?
2. how can i tell if my kernel is safe atm? phiz is suppose to be safe but maybe if root failed the mmc_cap remove failed too?
soory for the long post
thanks in advance to all the helpers!

what is the name of the kernel( with extension) you flashed and how did you flash it?

i flased PhilZ-cwm6-XXLQ3-OXX-3.99-signed.zip
i flashed it using stock recovery as the post described

that is correct file.. if you have cwm then the kernel has been installed... try to flash the kernel again from cwm... then reboot and see for a supersu app..

Hmmm. Try with the supersu zip that you mentioned earlier.

Try installing supersu from market (play store) and look if it works

it didnt work installling from the market.
i used Root_SuperSu -freespace and now im rooted
the last question i have now is my kernel safe?
phiz kernel suppose to be safe does super_su somehow overwrite the mmc_cap erase?

If your recovery is philz cwm then you have safe kern l
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Nope. It's safe. Kernel is what has the erase command disabled and supersu just installs supersu

Thanks for everyone's help managed to root and install
u can close thread.

Open/Boot The Phone Into TWRP Recovery Mode Then Transfer Any File From Computer/Laptop To Phone By Using USB Cable.

Assure to tick Enable MTP (under mount menu), you should see the internal memory folders with file explorer in Windows pc.

Can you boot anyway?
If yes open the app Magisk and let it check stable updates, download zip and tray again flashing from twrp.
