Sprint Galaxy S3: no su binary!!!

[Minasian Kearney]

I tried to unroot my sprint gs3s by pressing unroot in supersu but I didn't reinstall a few system apps. Now it won't unroot and when I try to open supersu it says No binary. Please help

Re: no su binary!!!

If you still have your custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc.), try flashing this version of SuperSU in recovery: UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip | by upndwn4par for Galaxy S 3

If that works, then update with the version that's in the Play Store.


If that doesn't work, what version of Android is on your phone? Look at Settings / More / About device and let us know what your Build number, Android version, and Kernel version are. Or just post a screen capture of that page.

Re: no su binary!!!

CWM and TWRP are custom recoveries. If you have a custom recovery, you had to install it yourself. What custom recovery did you install? Did you try to flash the SuperSU zip file I linked to?

Based on the info you posted above, once you get SuperSU reinstalled, I would follow these steps to unroot fully:

Re: no su binary!!!

Copy the SU file I linked to your internal or removeable SD card.

Turn off the phone completely, then boot into recovery (press and hold simutaneously the volume up, home and power buttons--as soon as you see the Samsung logo release all three buttons. You should now be in recovery mode. There should be something on the screen during the boot process that identifies the recovery, but it doesn't matter that much. Find the option to install or flash a file. Select that one, navigate to where you copied the SU zip file, and install it. Reboot.

After it reboots, go to the play store and download and install the latest version of SuperSU.

Re: no su binary!!!

It sounds like you do not have a custom recovery after all.

So the next step depends on why you want to unroot. Do you want to return to completely stock so no one can ever tell the phone was rooted? Or are you just trying to get the OTA update for 4.3? Or some other reason?

Re: no su binary!!!

Sorry, I've been working 14 hours days. Haven't had the time to get back here.

My suggestion is to look at post #30 here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...acks/337722-possible-method-root-4-3-a-2.html

and try to follow those instructions from the beginning. Let me know if that gets you rooted with SuperSU. If it does, then we can worry about getting to KitKat.
