I used CFRoot and Odin to root my Galaxy S3 i9300. It seemed to go OK but when I open SuperSU it says "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" I have tried to install SuperUser but that also says the SU binary isn't installed.

What has gone wrong? Do I need to run the Odin process again?

Thanks.

Ah, right. Odd, 'cause if the SuperSU application was installed from the SuperSU ZIP then it means it should've installed the su binary too. (Sometimes flashing CF-Root doesn't trigger SuperSU install and you have to manually reboot into recovery mode.)

You could try reflashing CF-Root or just use CWM recovery (which should be there since you used CF-Root) to reinstall the SuperSU ZIP (CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip).

I just retried the root with Odin, same result. I do have ClockworkMod Recovery so I will try to flash it with that.

I flashed the zip with CWM and it flashed fine, and fixed the problem! I have now installed and used successfully TriangleAway.

Many thanks!

If you haven't got an SU-binary, you can't install SuperSU or SuperUser, no su - no root. Download Siyah Kernel (S3 - http://gokhanmoral.com) download latest kernel for your firmware (ICS or JB) and lash via Odin..

Then you (should) have root and SuperSU should be pre-installled :)

Hope I could help!

You can always try to flash Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip (Google it!). I found out that SuperSu doesn't work with all devices. Sorry for not attaching the link, but I am a new noob here, Can't post them correctly yet.

I found solution by copying /system/bin/.ext directory from flashable zip version into phone.
1. download flashable zip version of SuperSU.
2. extract zip.
3. using adb shell create directory .ext inside /system/bin/
4. push .su file inside /system/bin/.ext from flashable zip
5. chmod 6755 the .su file
6. run SuperSU and you can update su binary
7 reboot

Try reflashing rom or firmware

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

My previous post is only a last resort in case you have no alternative routes that work
i know that it is a no brainer thing to simply re flash firmwares but It has ALWAYS worked for me

    ok for Supersu binary.
    I copied UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip into my sdcard:

    [03.03.2013] SuperSU v1.25
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

    and I booted in recovery mode.
    and I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip.

    and now I can open SuperSu.

    bye
