Edit: Turns out, I've lost root privilege's. I tried using SOC, and it work's temporarily. But as you restart the phone there's still no root.

The same for me.

Please take note :

when I use SOC and try to install the Font Changer Root Lite app (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/font-changer-lets-you-change-android-fonts/), I am asked to install BusyBox on the market, and the next screen is a warning message :

"If the rom you are using has a version of BusyBox installed to /sbin, or any where else that gets reloaded upon reboot, then this apps will NOT work. Tell your ROM maker to put BusyBox where it can not be removed.
You must have Nand unlocked to use this app and you must have RW access to your phone".

It might be the reason for the root failure when restarting the phone?

Font Changer works well when I reflash the alpha CWM recovery, and the same problem still happens when I reflash again with the beta one.

@Pralinos, But according to tripin's post when he checked on adb shell, It show's the phone is rooted. And shows R/W. Problem is the app's aren't recognizing that its rooted.

Can't it be possible to be rooted and not having BusyBox at a suitable place?

I'm a little confused aswell. I wen't about playing with SOC to check if it would get rooted. And it gave successful root display. But titanium refused to work despite saying it was rooted. So i rebooted again and tried to launch Root Explorer, but that failed too. I confirmed with adb aswell and it shows that it is rooted, I don't think the busybox is a problem, It's probably being read from the wrong area perhaps.

Really strange. On my phone with a SOC rooting, ES root explorer, mybackup root and gps aids are working.

I can't really vouch for that, But theoretically if you swap internal memory with external_sd. Skin set CWM to backup into external_sd, Even thought it says Sdcard. *He mentioned it in his first post* The phone's internal memory is about 1.5GB, In terms of usable memory. Backups usually end up about 2.4GB *as shown on my previous screenshot* So the backup would end up reading your phones internal memory as external memory. As someone previously posted that as he reached datadata in backup phase [He, like you is a custom vold.fstab user], Phone probably didn't have enough Internal phone memory and aborted the backup process. So yeah. Although I might have to prove that theory.

Edit: Turns out in the FROYO, If you use a vold.fstab for swap, The same error occurs and runs out of internal memory space [By this point it's safe to assume datadata already crosses the 1.5GB benchmark] . Flashing won't be a problem. But the problem occurs when you attempt to backup all data. But if you wish to flash it for recovery purposes, It's safe as are most of Skin's works.

I use modified vold.fstab when full backup. The backup file is saved on my additional sdcard(which is changed to internal sd after modified vold.fstab). How it can be? The backup file is supposed to be saved in external sd right?
Datadata failed to be mount automatically or manually,it is not because low free space.

So you tried taking out SU out of the bin file and superuser apk already and still the problem persisted?

(I didn't see that the post was not edited so im not really sure if it was done already.)

    CWM Recovery for GT-I9003 by Skin1980:​

    This is the full-functional CWM recovery ported by me for the Samsung GT-I9003. Here some screenshot:

    attachment.php

    One thing to know is that in this version External SD is called SDCard. This because SDCard is used by CWM as backup support. For the same reason also the USB Storage mounted under "Mount and Storage" menù is related to external SD.

    How to install:
    Install this CWM is very easy, just flash the .tar file with odin ( put the .tar in the PDA field).
    You can also use heimdall under linux. Just extract the normalboot.img file and do:
    Code: 
    heimdall flash --normal-boot normalboot.img

    IMPORTANT: Read this topic on Edify scripting used on update.zip. The partitions must be mounted before copying files:
    Code: 
    run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "-t", "auto", "/dev/block/stl9", "/system");

    Flashing Zip Files:
    If in the updater-script there isn't the "mount /system" option you must - before apply the zip - mount manually /system under "Mount and Storage" menù and then flash your zip.

    Features:
    - Added EXT4 filesystem support for the kernel ( now you can convert to ext4 to improve performanca);
    - CWM with double RFS / EXT4 filesystem support;
    - Busybox;
    - Juwe11 RamScript from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145 ;


    THANKS: I have to say, and all of us have to say a big Thanks to the super Devs that helped me in this port: Chris41g, DRockstar (this CWM is heavily based on it's project), Roddick and all the other devs on #epic in irc.fossnet.info. These are WONDERFUL GUYS, always ready to help you.
    Thanks also to koush that made the Clockworkmod Recovery.


    IMPORTANT: The recovery isn’t universal, all firmware is different so don’t flash the recovery for a firmware different from your!!!! Since i don’t have all firmware on my PC upload your normalboot.img to me with the name of your firmware so i can build the CWM.
    The normalboot.img can be found in the PDA tar of your firmware (if you have it on the PC). Alternatively you can dump it from phone with this command:
    Code: 
    dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/normalboot.img

    REASSUMING:

    FROYO Version: I didn't find any problem.... it seem stable.... but let me know.

    GB Version: Have to test it better since i didn't try it, only builted without test. By the way the GB rom is very uncomplete so certainly i will work on it but when the definitive vesion will be released (with ext4 support i wish) we can have something better.

    Now, for 1/2 days i cannot work on this so please send PM to me if you find issue ONLY FOR FROYO VERSION.... for GB simply wait.

    Thanks a lot.

    P.S.: press that THANKS Button!!!! :)
