I do all of this, but it says that I don't have superuser access. It installed superuser and everything but it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
ReplyDeleteIs it possible I updated my phone and now this method doesn't work?
Galaxy S3 19300
Android 4.04
this method should work.. but i highly recommend mobile ODIN with ever root option that is best thing
DeleteSo my phone's rooting stopped at Compplete(write). It failed, about 6 times now. I believe I'm fucked now. How do I fix this? Or, lemme reinstate that. How can I finish my rooting?
ReplyDeleteDude, are you fucking kidding me!? I need my phone, and because of you, it is now FUCKED. Thank you so much dude.
