[Q] Need Help-Can'tRemove Clockwork mod after factory reset

Can't remove clockwork mod after factory reset complete with .340 back. I have tried everything. I have read that I could remove 2 files in root exployer but am lost as to how to complete. Phone never been flashed. Just rooted with clockword Mod and rooted with Z4root. Please Help

Not too sure why you want to remove it. If you want to get rid of root and clockwork then use the SBF.

I still have a hard time understanding how people really think that doing a factory reset magically flashes the stock OS back. All it does it erase user data and apps. Use the root explorer method or sbf.

I have unrooted and have factory .340 but can't get rid of boot to clockwork mod. I have read sbf will not remove it, so I havent done it. i never flashed a rom, was just curious and wanted to learn. Just need help getting rid of clockwork mod at boot. I thought this was a place for help not downgrading people

This is the place for learning however there is a little doing on your part.
You want to learn but yet you wish to delete a primary tool to flash a Rom.
Your statements are contradictory in meaning.
Now with that said.
check out this site also for flashing info and Rom's

so I am banned from xda? I made a statment that is the way I felt and I dont know who you are but you must be a boss of somesort, don really know the chain of command, and I get a message from you I guess because I said he was degrading. In your read this first, your statmemt is to help noob's and be kind. If you will show me a kind word in his reply I will appoligize to him at once. So I guess I just need to know if you have banned me or what for just trying to get help.

After you SBF, do a factory reset using Motorola's recovery. When the phone boots back up, you will be unrooted and without Clockwork.

Thank you, could I be stupid as to ask for a link on how to do the SBF you are talking about. Sorry, I am just so comfused right now. I would really appreceiate as i have been make to look like a total idoit already. Thanks if you want to. no problem if not. Mike

There are no stupid questions.
Here is the guide I followed to SBF my phone. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html. Depending on which OTA version your phone is on, you may need to track down the 2.3.15 Full SBF, or if on a newer version, you will need to get the 2.13.32 Full SBF and the 2.13.40 System-Only SBF. 2.13.40 is the latest OTA from Verizon.
After you follow the steps outlined about, your phone will have a mish-mash of Official OTA and whatever custom ROM you may have had. Power the phone off, and then hold the Home key while powering it back on. Release Power, but keep holding Home until you see a screen with a folder icon with a "!". Release Home, press Search, and then select Factory Reset. Once it completes, reboot the phone. The first boot will take 5-7 minutes of staring at the animated Motorola splash, and you will have a complete, non-rooted, stock ROM without Clockwork.
Hope this helps.

If the SBF completes successfully, a factory reset from the Motorola recovery menu (can only be accessed using the key combo I mentioned earlier) will completely remove Clockwork. If Clockwork still boots, the restore was not done correctly.

For anyone who might want to remove the bootstrap recovery, outside of having to reload an SBF, the instructions below are what I used to remove Clockwork from my DX. (I was tired of it always booting into Clockwork when I powered my device off and on. I found this in another forum, which references a couple of other forums below.
Removing Bootstrap Recovery:
Removal from an Androidforums post:
UNINSTALL the Recovery APK (Droid X Bootstrapper) in Settings, Applications
Reboot
Run "adb shell"
Run "su"
Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
Reboot
or
1. Reroot
2. Get root explorer in the market
3. Uninstall the bootstrap app
4. Go into root explorer to system/bin
5. In top right corner tap r/w
6. Delete the file called hijack
7. Delete logwrapper
8. Rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper
9. Reboot and it should be gone.
(thanks to Droidforums member Hostility6)
The commands can be used with terminal emulator do all the commands except for the first command. (Run adb shell)

are you turning your phone on while holding volume down ...if so that is why its booting into clockwork mod...but in all fairness you were contradicting yourself.... and I am a noob as well and having issues with the clockwork 3.0 but I have given up because i cant downgrade without errors and there are no answers on these forums about its solution so i will wait it out... uninstall clockwork will also not get you stock and I cant understand why the phone is booting into clockwork recovery and not the OS.. or did I misread and misunderstand your original question...

[Q] I messed up my boss's Droid X. Please help.

Okay, so I messed up my boss's phone today. I tried to do the flash player mod to watch Hulu found here: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/219288-modified-flash-hulu-droid-x.html (which I did SUCCESSFULLY on my phone). Anyway, I didn't realize that he had NOT made a backup of his Stock ROM (he just rooted his phone 2 days ago). When I did the Flashplayer mod not only did Hulu not work, but any time he opened his browser to the google hompepage it would kick him out of the browser. We tried pulling the battery, clearing cache (on the browser), force stop (on the browser), and nothing worked. I swear I did EXACTLY the same method that I did with my own and mine works fine. It's odd bc the google homepage shouldn't have anything to do with flashplayer. Btw, every other page I've seen seems to work okay with his browser. Anyway, do you guys know what might have happened?

Never really messed with the hulu hack myself... worst case scenario he will need to backup his apparently and data using titanium backup. Then I would make a nandroid backup of the current state as a place to get back to as a worst case scenario. Then sbf the phone and create a clean nandroid right away... then mess with the hulu hack in the event that it doesnt work again.

Try this
Try installing Dolphin Browser HD off of the market, and choose "on Demand" when starting the first time for flash plugin. See if it works then

lulz.......

You can't reinstall flash player from the market by uninstalling updates then reinstalling?

Everyone keeps saying to do a sfb (which I wanna do for myself) and I've asked in 2 other threads how to do that and asked exactgly what it does. No one has respinded. What is it and how do I do it?

No, a factory reset only affects /data and /cache portion of the phone OS I believe. An sbf can be found here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32-full-sbf.html
This is the 2.3.32 full sbf that you will need to flash first. Next you will need the 2.3.34 system only sbf:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OXK9Q1ZG
Make sure after you do each sbf to do a battery pull, then boot into Moto recovery (hold down home button while pressing power, then when the droid comes up, press search button), then do a factory reset. This will help to ensure a clean sbf process without issues.
Good luck, and post back if you have questions.
PS make sure to use at least RSDlite 4.8 for flashing these files.

Thank you for the links. However, I'm not familiar with RSD Lite, so I don't know how to use it or how to flash these sbf files. I clicked on the first link and the instructions seemed vague and geared more towards people who already know what they are doing. I've only tried flashing 1 custom ROM (Fission) and I've flashed various states of the stock ROM several times. So, when it comes to this sbf stuff I'm very much a noob. I'm scared to death of bricking my phone or my boss's phone for that matter, so would you mind giving me step by step instructions on how to flash these two sbf's? Or at least send a link to a site with "noob" instructions? Thanks in advance.

RSD Lite was originally used for old Motorola dumbphones like the Razr and some early smartphones. I have an Evo now but I remember how to use it from back when I had a Razr. Just select the SBF file and after it sees the phone hit Flash. Make sure to get a second opinion from an actual Droid X user first since I'm not sure if there's anything extra that needs to be done.

Here is the link to download RSDlite 4.8.
http://www.multiupload.com/HL0ZAL9GK8
You will want to download this, and then install it on a windows machine. Then in order to use the SFB files (use 2.3.32 first, then 2.3.34), plug in your phone to your computer. I'm pretty sure you need the Android SDK installed, and the correct moto drivers installed as well (not sure.. i've had this set up on my computer forever...). Next, turn off your phone and press and hold "volume down + camera button + power button" and this will boot your phone into bootloader. It will say 30.03 (if you are on 2.3.15 OTA update) or 30.04 (if you are on 2.3.32 or 2.3.34 releases).
Then open up RSDlite on your computer which you installed it. With the phone plugged in, choose the "..." button in RSD lite and browse to the SBF file that you downloaded (remember 2.3.32 first) and then it should show your phone as a device listed below in RSDlite. If it recognizes your phone, you can click the start button in RSDlite. It will then start doing its thing.
My recommendation is to make a nandroid backup before doing this as a last resort if something goes wrong. The first time that you run the SBF file, it may get to like 98 or 99% and then say fail (something about passing BP baseband or something similar, and your phone will reboot). Don't worry, this has happened to me a couple times when I first started using the SBF files and scared me to death. After the phone reboots, pull out the battery and replace it back in. Then hold down the "home" button while pressing the power button. Then when the picture of the little green android dude shows up, press the search button (this is the motorola recovery screen). Then go to "factory reset/wipe data" (or something similarly titled). You can navigate the menus by using the volume up/down buttons. You will make your selections by pressing the camera button.
If you dont get the little android guy to show up, then turn the phone off and try again. After you have wiped data/factory reset, you may need to activate your phone. If it doesn't automatically prompt you to do this, from the dialer app, type *228 and then call. Then choose the option to program your phone, and you will be back in business.
After an SBF, your phone is completely wiped clean, so you will need to re-root, and install bootstrap/any other mods you need.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have more questions.

Here is a great how to guide. Great forum with lots a smart helpful people.

[Q] EVO Rom/Root problems

I am having some serious issues with my evo. I have tried 10 different methods, googled 100 different help guides and still no fix.
I had originally rooted my phone using simple root and put the "fixed" froyo rom on there. Everything worked fine, but I was outdated and having some really slow issues so I wanted to try a new rom...Fresh.
Well I tried a few methods, but I somehow reverted my evo back to a nonroot of the original OS. Whenever i go into hboot, my recovery does not work. I push the PC36img and load it, then restart then I attempt to go to my recovery where it gives me the error picture with the yellow/red triangle. I then select recovery (after pressing UP volume and powerbutton) and try to load update from sd card. Everytime I do that I get a Failed error.
I've tried to reroot using several methods off this website, I've done everything I can to get it working but can't. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Try reflashing your recovery image.

BTW I have hboot 79.0 with S-ON, so it looks like I def became unrooted.

Not sure how it would have just unrooted itself. I would run an RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
Then, I would re-root and start clean again.

I would have waited about ten minutes then restarted the phone. If the phone is stuck at the HTC logo, then I would go ahead and re-run the RUU.

Ok, so, I think you said you got the RUU working which would have completely restored the phone to unrooted and stock from factory.
Now, you need to re-root your phone using one of the methods on xda. I used the manual method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045. However, many people have had success with the one-click methods.
After you re-root (which will likely included installing a recovery), select a rom you want to try, boot to recovery, wipe and flash it. A great starter ROM is MikFroyo 4.6 or 4.5.

Try downloading the PC36IMG.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
put that on the root of your SD card, then boot into HBOOT and it should find that PC36IMG.zip after a few seconds and ask if you want to flash it. Choose yes and let it finish. Should then be able to reboot into recovery.

ok thanks, i'll try it when I get back home

Ok, I tried this method...the filesize of pc36img.zip is only 3.5mb, but it didn't seem to work. It scanned the file then just went back to the hboot screen with my options never asking to flash.
I'm going to try to reroot using the other method now...

So I clicked the link and he forwarded to the autoroot.bat page so I used his method. It worked well (the 2nd time around) all the way until it started to push amon_ra_1.8-mod.... then after that it says rebooting into the bootloader, and it reboots into it and just says waiting for phone...
It does appear that my phone is rooted now, but my recovery is still not working. If I use ROM manager will it work since my phone is rooted or do I need to have a rooted ROM to run it off of?

Does your phone show s-off while in the bootloader? If so you should be able to run the FlashZip script and use that to flash the pc36img-sprintlovers zip. That one contains everything needed to bring your phone up to date and will leave you with a rooted rom and recovery.

FINALLY! Thanks a million! My recovery is now working and it installed the built in sprinter lovers rom, I guess the anti-virus was stopping it so I disabled it and ran the flash script. I was able to install Fresh on there, just to try it out. I do have a few questions though:
1. I noticed after going through many pages that to update to a newer ROM version you don't always have to wipe clean, you can just install (or flash) the new update? I noticed in Fresh there is a built in app that does that. Is this true for most ROMS or only certain ones?
2. I assume I am using the RA recovery. I noticed the backup/restore feature on there. What exactly does that backup and when should I use it?
3. I've noticed I've been very low with memory on my phone (not SD card), I have about 258MB free. How can I clear space and when I mount my phone what files are important to keep and can I get rid of, is it okay to get rid of my rom.zip's and radio.zip's?
Thanks again to everyone, autoroot was def the most painless root ever.

1) You'll want to always wipe your cache/dalvik (I do everytime I'm in the recovery) but the Data depends on the ROM. Usually if you are going from one sense rom to another you are ok and the same for AOSP to AOSP. Going from Sense to AOSP you'll need to wipe data though.
2) Autoroot comes with a modified version of AmonRA, they are mostly just speed tweaks. To make a complete backup of your ROM select Boot (kernel), System (ROM), Data (Apps & Settings) and .android (apps on SD card)
3) You can delete the zips from your sd card if you don't need them but that's about normal for free memory.

S-off, Superuser denying root like crazy

Currently Running Miui 2.7.1.3 i believe the numbers are, whichever the latest version of the rom is. It installed no problem, was merely updating to try to fix theme issues from 2.6, and here is where the problem begins:
So i was browsing my phone and realised that i didn't have superuser on there, wondering why because usually every rom i ever ran had it automatically on there, installed it off of another site, the elite version, and from there everything got screwed up, i don't know what happened or why it started but, i could no longer run busybox, TBU, setcpu, nothing that requires root, due to the fact that superuser was denying root. I had no clue why, i've been reading threads for hours similar to "Superuser denying root" and such, and to no avail, the problem is still there, i have set superuser to both prompt and allow when asking for root, and neither worked, so i figured a clean fresh reflash of MIUI would help, however even after wiping and a clean install, root does not work, ive read some articles describing to just unroot and root again however it's been so long since ive rooted a phone, can anyone direct me to the best way to do this without having to do an ODIN and set up my phone allover again, keep in mind that it is still S-Off. What am i doing wrong?
I also have tried to clear data for superuser, as well as install multiple versions, neither have worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
ROBLEM SOLVED:
To those with similar problems to this who have ruled out other reasons, described in this thread, abandon Superuser and download SuperSU instead, it fixed my problem.

Odin is for Samsung Phones and if u lost root redownload the rom or Google super user and download the binaries and just flash them.

You're very likely doing so much wrong..
MIUI has an option in settings - "allow superuser privileges". You didn't turn it on, and it's off by default. That's it. And from there you went to a whole new level of going the wrong way.
No amount of restoring to stock and re-rooting can help you. Root privileges aren't phone-specific, they're ROM-specific, and relevant only for the ROM currently on the phone. Reflash the ROM with something else - and existence or inexistence of root will depend on this "something else". Thus I fail to understand, what were you looking for when restoring to stock. It was as irrelevant as could possibly be.

Reflash the ROM with something else - and existence or inexistence of root will depend on this "something else". Thus I fail to understand, what were you looking for when restoring to stock. It was as irrelevant as could possibly be.

I believe you got two troubleshootings steps backwards.
After you have searched and exhausted every troubleshooting step you found (which obviously wasn't thorough), you should have posted in the MIUI thread about the problem. They might have scolded you a little before answering, but you would have gotten your answer.
Flashing back to stock is ALWAYS your last resort. It should only be done after scouring the web for answers, then asking for the answer, and when there is no other alternative - FroYo PD15IMG.zip.
Jack is blunt, but as he's as right as always.

I'm not one to deny mistakes, that sure was stupid of me not to look, i guess i just thought there were deeper problems than just the rom having it turned off, anyway i'm doing the downgrade now and it should work, thank you for the help its appreciated

Could you point me to this "allow superuser privileges"? I have restored with recovery and have yet to find such a setting.

If you are referring to the permission guard, it allows everything, and there is no setting to simply turn it on

No, not this one. It's been some time since I sold my Nexus One, which was running MIUI back at the time, but I understand that in the newer MIUI there is an app or setting, called LBC guard, which controls both Superuser access and app permissions. Try looking it up.
P.S. I remember CM team member post, saying that the newer CM9 also come with root privileges turned off by default, because they decided it's a safer way.

Right, and the Permission Guard is run by LBC guard, there is no way to set anything different from what i have, i believe its a problem with the busybox binaries and superuser binaries, i'm trying to use this SuperSU instead of superuser to see if that will work. If i remember correctly before all this happened i may have hit uninstall busybox by accident and that may be why its not working, could be that ive never had busybox working and haven't been able to install it due to the SU problem
EDIT: Yes i have solved it now, SuperSU actually makes the prompts for superuser come up now, im using it instead of superuser entirely, must be deeper problems with original superuser

If you had SuperSU installed on the system and additionally installed the regular Superuser, or the other way around - these two are incompatible on binaries AFAIK, and mixing the applications without cleaning up the build and using the correct binary could cause what you were experiencing.

Yes your probably correct only i had two separate versions of superuser that didnt overwrite and that must be where the binaries got messed up

The 1st thing I usually do when I install a new rom, is install SuperSU, update the binaries then I use Titanium to uninstall Superuser.

Currently Running Miui 2.7.1.3 i believe the numbers are, whichever the latest version of the rom is. It installed no problem, was merely updating to try to fix theme issues from 2.6, and here is where the problem begins:
So i was browsing my phone and realised that i didn't have superuser on there, wondering why because usually every rom i ever ran had it automatically on there, installed it off of another site, the elite version, and from there everything got screwed up, i don't know what happened or why it started but, i could no longer run busybox, TBU, setcpu, nothing that requires root, due to the fact that superuser was denying root. I had no clue why, i've been reading threads for hours similar to "Superuser denying root" and such, and to no avail, the problem is still there, i have set superuser to both prompt and allow when asking for root, and neither worked, so i figured a clean fresh reflash of MIUI would help, however even after wiping and a clean install, root does not work, ive read some articles describing to just unroot and root again however it's been so long since ive rooted a phone, can anyone direct me to the best way to do this without having to do an ODIN and set up my phone allover again, keep in mind that it is still S-Off. What am i doing wrong?
I also have tried to clear data for superuser, as well as install multiple versions, neither have worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
ROBLEM SOLVED:
To those with similar problems to this who have ruled out other reasons, described in this thread, abandon Superuser and download SuperSU instead, it fixed my problem.

Anyone else with this problem go in the permissions app and enable root as miui uses its own root for security reasons.

MIUI uses a customized superuser app. Use it and follow the instructions. Cnote ports the ROM. He knows what he's talking about.

Hello, I am a newbie and looking for a miracle. I am going to apologize for the length of this message in advance. Couple days ago I perm rooted the HTC Glacier Mytouch 4g using the instructions at //wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_glacier . As instructed, I downgraded the software to 1.17.531.2 and then perm rooted with S-Off on the device. Then, I installed the cyanogenMod 7.2.0-glacier (stable version) with the google apps. Everything worked great and was happy.
Right after I installed AdFree from Googleplay, I had issues but problem may not be caused by this app. Googleplay gave me a message of an “error no connection”. I got a message that the “ADWLauncher failed to launch” over and over again which prevented me from doing anything else. I was able to reboot the phone in between the notifications of the ADWLauncher failure. When I was back up and running, I got the same message of Googleplay “error no connection” and ADW failure very quick after start up. I pulled the battery and did a hard power up (volume down plus power button at same time). This is when things got worse. The Hboot starts up and wants to update, which I did but then I could not choose recovery mode to install a backup. If I choose not to update Hboot, then I only have the option to restart the phone. I can see on top of the screen “Glacier PVT SHIP S-OFF” .
Wait – things get worse. I am no longer running the cyanogenmod ROM but am back to the downgraded ROM 1.17.531.2. I still can’t download from googleplay because I get the message “Error no connection”, even though I am running on the old ROM. I can’t download apps from the phone, but I can push apps to phone from my googleplay account. I did push the ROM Manager app to the phone. When I start the ROM Manager, I get the message “You must root phone for ROM to function. Superuser was not found at “/system/bin/su” or “/system/xbin/su”.
I tried to start the recovery through adb using “adb reboot recovery”, but I get a power off symbol (a red circle) and phone freezes. I need to pull the battery to reboot.
Again sorry for the length. I am hoping for a miracle. Since I can’t do anything in the hard power up mode, I need to find a way to fix through adb or fastboot. Does anyone know how to get the Superuser installed through adb or fastboot? Is there a way to flash another custom ROM that has a superuser installed through adb or fastboot?
BTW. Gmail works fine.
thanks

I would download a recovery image and use fastboot to install it. Maybe something is wrong with your recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Then wipe system, do a factory reset, and wipe dalvik-cache before flashing a ROM. Also, re-download your ROM.

[HOW TO] Root and Install CWM without USB, Odin, or Computer: 2013 Version

Thanks to alephzain, bbelos/CMTeamEpic, DRockstar, koush, neldar, QBKing77, and toadlife!
See a change log of edits to this post at the bottom. Any corrections or suggestions are welcomed.
This How To will explain how you can root and install ClockworkMod on a stock Epic 4G (SPH-D700) running Gingerbread FC09 without a USB cable, Odin, and with or without a computer. My phones USB pins are busted, but otherwise it charges fine and works great. So I spent many determined days figuring out how I may eventually install CyanogenMod. This first requires getting ClockworkMod on the phone.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to follow the exact procedure below.
How will you get files onto your phones external sdcard?
Novice:
- Without a computer: Download files using a browser found in the Google Play Store: Firefox, Dolphin.
- With a computer: Email yourself the files and use your phones email app to save them to your sdcard.
- With a computer: Remove your external sdcard, insert it into an adapter, then insert/connect it to your computer to copy files to the sdcard.
Expert:
- With a computer: Its possible to access "offline files" with Google Drive, but its a bit cumbersome to find the file using a file manager.
- With WiFi and a computer: After gaining root, install the "WiFi ADB" app and download the Android ADB tools for your OS: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
Transfer the following files to your sdcard (see attachments below):
- Framaroot-1.6.1.apk
- CleanGB_Kernel_0b28e9767b.zip
- cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.zip
Get Rooted:
- On your phone go to Settings -> Applications -> Check: Unknown Sources
- Install the Framaroot-1.6.1.apk package.
Install the following apps from the Google Play Store:
- SGS Kernel Flasher
- ROM Manager
Start SGS Kernel Flasher:
- Backup your stock kernel, but if you re-flash your stock kernel then you will need to repeat the following procedures.
- Choose Kernel -> Select CleanGB_Kernel_0b28e9767b.zip -> Flash Kernel
- Reboot
Start ROM Manager:
- Select Reboot into Recovery
Recovery Mode:
- Press the Settings icon: You should now be in CWM v3.1.0.1 (use volume up/down, camera to select, home to go back)
- Select: install zip from sdcard -> toggle signature verification -> choose zip from sdcard -> cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.zip
- Reboot
Verify CWM Installed:
- Power off phone, wait a few seconds after vibration indicates phone is powered off.
- Hold down: Volume Down, Camera, and Power On.
- Release when the icons light up.
- You should see "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" and the menu in blue text.
Congratulations you flashed ClockworkMod without USB or Odin!
What now? How about installing CyanogenMod? Well thats my next step and I highly suggest your phone already be activated, the PRL updated, data/contacts synced/backed up, and all services working before installing CyanogenMod stable. Otherwise, as of today (CM v10.1), you will need to temporarily boot into Samsungs FC09 in order to perform these functions.
I hope you find this How To helpful. Feel free to aks any questions, but please Google search for any "inbetween steps" that I have left out of this How To for the purpose of brevity.
Good luck!
Change Log:
12/08/2013: (Major Addition) Added important note. Added backing up stock kernel.
11/21/2013: (Minor Addition) Added email method for transferring files to your sdcard. Clean up.
11/20/2013: (Minor Addition) In case their sources disappear I have attached the required files.
11/18/2013: (Minor Correction) Improved links. Clean up.
11/17/2013: (Major Correction) Corrected spelling of Framaroot-1.6.1.apk filename.

This rooting method works, but i have a problem.
The kernel has the su binary installed, nd thats the problem; with a root checker it says no root access. Now i cant do anything else because everytime i do something to fix this issue, it stays the same after a reboot
Please help me

The purpose of the CleanGB kernel is to provide CWM v3.1.0.1. You only need to install Framaroot to root the phone.
I'm not exactly sure where you are stuck or what you are trying to achieve. I tried duplicating the process, but it is entirely possible that I made an error so any corrections are helpful.

Yes, im sorry that i have to make u go through all this trouble because maybe im doing this wrong..
What i was trying to say is that the kernel also has 'su' in /sbin (im not sure if this is the problem but in my galaxy s3 the 'su' is only located in /system/bin and /system/xbin)
I also read this article where it said that the 'su binary' isnt supposed to be in /sbin because in this case (what i think its saying is) that everytime it boots up the /sbin is part of the booting process. Here is the website link: htt p://a ndro idsu.co m (cant post links yet damn)
" People with the su binary located in /sbin have a much tougher time. I’ve found that these are mostly Samsung users (with the notable exception of the Nexus S). I don’t know why it’s done this way, and if anybody does know, please let me know, but for some reason kernel and ROM devs for these devices put su in /sbin. /sbin is part of the boot.img, and therefore any modifications to that directory will be erased on boot."
What i first did is installed Framaroot nd rooted the phone, then got excited because i had been trying to root it for like 2 years now with no success, so since i thought i knew what i was doing, i trailed off nd tried to install CWMR through Rom Manager then went into recovery nd for some weird reason it just put me in the stock android recovery so i knew something went wrong... Then i got scared nd tried to go back to your method nd installed the kernel flasher so i flashed the kernel, rebooted, nd then went into the superuser app. It said the SU binary needed to be updated (got surprised because it didnt say that before i flashed the kernel) i put continue nd it showed me an option to install it through TWRC/CWMR or install normally,so i chose through CWM nd it actually booted me up into CWM but then it said something about a command not working [it was some couple days ago so i cant remember what it said exactly] so i messed around with CWM and tried to installed CyanogenMod which i had downloaded previously, did the signature verification toggle off, but it still said installation aborted because of the command or something... Then i rebooted the phone nd then the problems started, in the superSU app i tried to install normally but it said installation failed... Got the root checker nd said su found in /sbin /system/bin and /system/xbin but i had no root access so i panicked nd tried to root it again with Framaroot, it said success nd i rebboted but it didnt work. I ran the root checker again nd it was the same. I tried to go back to a backup i did when i only had root without the kernel but(which by the way by the end of the backup it said couldnt make md5 sums)but idk why but it took me to the stock android recovery so i couldnt make a restore. I felt trapped cs i couldnt go back to before i had the kernel. With no root access i couldnt also do the restore to the stock kernel(SGS Kernel Flasher app) because i made a backup of it in case something went wrong.. Unfortunately it did so now with no root access i cant really do nothing anymore... I was thinking of using odin to go back to its original state, but then i remembered that it was impossible because odin never recognized my phone while in download mode... Im short in options on what to do please help, im still a noob

Can you try to do a factory reset from the stock recovery and start over?

Yes, thats exactly what i did two times but it didnt work because once you flash something theres no way to go back unless you have a backup and a way to restore it or is there a way i dont know of?? I also checked right after the factory reset in the settings nd it still had the same kernel, and the root checker still said the su binaries were installed in the 3 places i mentioned earlier nd still without root access

Yes i did.. In the SuperSU app in the settings section it has an option to Full Unroot, nd i think it works but it has to reboot, and at the time of reboot, the kernel overrides it and gets rid of any modifications like getting unrooted..
Looks like im going to have to bear with this nd just leave it like that, besides i already have a rooted gs3

So your are running CleanGB? When you open ROM Manager and select "Boot into Recovery" does it boot into CWM v3 and are you able to flash CWM v5 or do you still get the error?

Yes i am running CleanGB nd when i use rom manager and select "Boot into Recovery" it does nothing because i dont have root access and that means it doesnt have permissions to boot into recovery, however i did also try to manually boot into recovery but it took me to the stock recovery.. Is this supposed to happen??

Yes that is normal.
I see you say you tried reinstalling Framaroot, but try reinstalling again. But don't reboot. Afterwards go straight into ROM Manager and select "Boot into Recovery" and if rooting was successful I believe it should boot into CleanGBs CWM v3 recovery.

It did boot up into CWM v3 nd i tried to flash the CWM v5 but there were these weird things, look ill show u a picture of it.

For some reason all the forums posts images are broken for me. It seems to be a 404 error.
Ok lets try this:
Make sure you are rooted (install Framaroot again if you need to, don't reboot) and start SGS Kernel Flasher and flash your backup backed up stock kernel and reboot. Then try following the procedure again from the top as described to try to install CWM. Rebooting your stock kernel may or may not fix these issues. If it doesn't then it may require finding a way to fix it via a Terminal app or other method.

I seem to be rooted in some ways but not in others
I installed Framaroot and it claimed success. However, that doesn't seem to be true according to the Root Checker app. I removed Framaroot, rebooted, reinstalled, and reran it with no difference. But what's weird is the first time it seemed to work, so I went ahead and tried to flash CleanGB and it worked. I'm currently running CleanGB.
The problem now is that when I ask ROM Manager to Boot into Recovery it won't do it, presumably because I don't have root access. What can I do next? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Sorry you're mistaken. You just posted a pic of CWM v3. So your "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM Manager worked.
Did you try what I suggested here to fix your errors?
