      You must install ClockworkMod Recovery image to solve that problem. Take a look at Google Play Store and get the app.

    when i tried to install clockworkmod recovery everything went apparently good, at the end the odin program said Passed!, but when i tried to get into it from my phone it didn’t boot into it, then i downloaded a “root checker” from the play store and it said “sorry this device does not have proper root access”. any thoughts as to how to fix this, or did i do something wrong, i’m running the galaxy rush with android 4.1.2

    I appreciate the effort of posting instructions, but the wording is a bit convoluted. For instance:

    Step three will have you plug the smartphone to the laptop by way of
    the USB cord belonging to the Rush, then copy the SuperSU zip archive
    to the phone’s SD card root before you unplug the devices from each
    other once the transfer is done.

    That last part has the sequence of events out of time and should have read,”Copy the SuperSU zip archive to the phone’s SD card root. When the transfer is done, unplug the USB cord from the phone.
