I've used Heimdall 1.4.0 on my mac to install CWM 6.0.4.3 (file name: recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-n7100
) on my Samsung Note 2 GT-N7100 with android 4.3, the installation went smooth with no issues.
I then booted in recovery mode (volume up, home, power) and installed the zip file containing superuser downloaded from the link on the google play.
I then booted my phone normally, and tried if it was rooted with root checker, installed via google play. It says it's not rooted.
the application superuser starts and gives no errors,
I've done the procedure several times, also installing supersu, and installing other versions of CWM but I always got the same result.
What could I possibly have done wrong? and how can I finally get to root my phone?
thanks,
SuperSu
Apk app, Option (Root this phone) working?su
command and see what happens. If you're asked for root permission and the command executes, executeid
command. It should say something likeuid=0
or similar - the zero is important.sudo
in Android, that's why I posted the exact commands you should tryid
aftersu
, but I get requested no permissions or anythingls -l /system/xbin/su
to see if at least the su binary is installed properly. If not, the problem is with the CWM-installed supersu zip or with CWM itself and would need different approach.
