Tnx boss, went to dig in dip n got the msg, that I have to re-root before super su can work on 4.3... Would try ur advice tho


I'm in Accra, none of that working for me here right now...

sheelay: Pls, boss, I flashed d new Cm 10.2 4.3 custom rom on my s2, but to my surprise, I downloaded titanium backup so I could restore my apps, and it kept telling me that I don't have root access, even when I downloaded super su, what could be wrong Pls? And do I need to re-root?

nani.666:
Custom ROMs these days usually come packed with Super SU... why install a custom ROM devoid of root access ?

sheelay:
It came with super su, but still got the hint that with 4.3 custom rom, one needs to re-root... Rom is cm10.2 nightly

Mannylex: Wow! Wonderful thread. And to think I have Been scrolling past it all this while. Stanley you are doing a good job here.

Mannylex: Stanley, need your help. Never been on a custom rom before, but would like to try out one.

I'm telling you! You go read tire! People don't like to read and learn, they just want to be Spoon-fed!



No! Use laptop to root. Dats my advice.

[size=14pt]MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS I9300 INTERNATIONAL VERSION[/size]
If yes, then flash this through 'PDA' in ODIN - http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip
Note: It's a zip file, so you have to extract it first to get the '.tar' file to flash in ODIN



[size=14pt]MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS I9500 INTERNATIONAL VERSION[/size]
If yes, then flash this through 'PDA' in ODIN - http://download.chainfire.eu/326/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.zip
Note: It's a zip file, so you have to extract it first to get the '.tar' file to flash in ODIN

======================================================================================================================

And both of you, Get steps on how to flash stuff with odin in the first few pages! Ask questions if you don't understand! Because if you brick your phone and blame me, I will laugh at you! Don't try to be a Hero!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH S3 AND S4
Just make sure you have downloaded the right zip!

Don't go and flash it on AT&T, T-mobile and the rest ohh! Ehen! Only I9300 and I9500. Settings > About Phone. Check to be sure of ur model

Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or check-boxes that are not listed below to touch!
