[Q] Having both supersu and superuser?

Okay from the beginning. I first tried to root my galaxy s4(mk2) using klingo. That pushed the weird Chinese version superuser and put the custom boot logo on. Strangely though i still didn't have root access (tried checking with root checker said i didn't have it). So then i was like whatever and continued on with my day. After three or so days i came across this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 . So I did it step by step, it pushed supersu onto my device but i still don't have root access and it doesn't let me uninstall superuser or supersu. Any ideas of how i can get root and/or uninstall superuser and supersu and getting rid of the custom boot logo.

Can't Update SU Binary on Note 3???

So I just got done rooting my Note 3 with towelroot and everything went fine. I checked to make sure it worked with "Root Checker" and it said I successfully had root access. So next step I took was to download a SuperUser app from the PlayStore, and no matter WHAT SuperUser app I use, NONE of them can update the SU Binary????? so I went and downloaded "Busybox Installer" and downloaded the latest Busybox version to my Note. Then went back to retry to update the Binary but still no progess!! I'm stuck and I really don't know what else to do! I'm not trying to install any ROM or Safestrap. Just want my phone rooted to mess around with some permissions and hacked apks. So can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong???? I've rebooted my Note COUNTLESS number of times and still SuperSU still says it fails to update the Binary! It successfully disable KNOX tho. So what can I do so that I can use my root to my full potential and update the SU Binary???

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that its just a problem with towelroot.. And that same thing happened to me on my note 3. I'm pretty sure what I did was download safestrap (you can I install it after) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610 and flash this (chainfires supersu +binary) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
If that doesn't work just either pm me or comment that it didn't and I'll see if I can find another way! And you can always uninstall safestrap once you flashed the package (don't forget to clear cache and dalvic)

clarify your Super user app from google play is 1.99r4 ....you should check THIS thread for latest SuperSu app (2.00)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
keep in mind Vzw recovery is locked, you cannot flash files on stock rom.
SS will relieve big headaches....so install it.
check upload... you get one free today
:good:

Once rooted with towelroot, I uninstalled the towelroot app. After the next reboot, SuperSU was not complaining anymore for me.

Thanks for all the help! Got it up and running in no time!

I put Safe strap on and installed it, then updated the SU Binary through custom recovery via SafeStrap.

Download the flashable zip of supersu. Then instead of flashing, go to the Commons folder inside it and extract the apk. Install it and then run it from app drawer.

This just prompts SU binary update and fails.
I managed to download safestrap and have the su zip in my downloads, but dont knwo where to go from here.
I also don't use anything but stock ROM, won't I trip KNOX by flashing my stock?
First time rooting so I probably shouldn't play around with things alone. Thanks

Still not downloading the binary. Now I can't even uninstall it through drawer, did the flash make it a system app?
I think I should've uninstalled it before the flash.

It might've, sorry but I'm not clear on what I did..(I think I just flashed a rom) Just go to system/app and see if it's there. Delete it and reflash.

Problem with rooting

Hello, I'm having problems with rooting my S4 i9505.
I've rooted it before, but I installed a new stock rom, so I needed to root the new rom too.
I installed custom recovery via ODIN, and that worked fine.
Then I booted into the recovery, and selected SuperSU.zip or whatever it's named, installed that.
When the ROM boots up, it gives SuperSU has stopped working error, and when I update superSU via google play, it gives me error that binaries are not installed.
So what am I doing wrong, and what should I do to root the phone?

If your phone doesn't rooted yet , use the towelroot application it's should root your phone right

You can find an option in the recovery to root your phone. Atleast in Philz there is that option. After that install supersu from the playstore.

I flashed Chainfire-auto root with odin, that worked.

[5.0] [GalaxyS5] [Root] Rooted properly?

Hello everybody,
recently I updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) to Android Lollipop 5.0, After that I downloaded CF Auto Root and it looked like it rooted perfectly, it rebooted in the screen with the red android pirate thingy and after that it rebooted my device with SuperSU installed on it. Then I started downloading some root apps to see if it worked. Root Checker said my device was rooted and then I downloaded GameCIH, it asked for root access and I granted the root access but when it was done loading it says: System Deny to Root. I searched the internet and found out that GameCIH doesn't work on Honeycomb or above, so i tried downloading SB Game Killer or Game Guardian, but both asked for root access but crashed after a couple of seconds so i tried re-rooting but when i opened SuperSU it sayed: There is no SU Binary installed, and SU can't install one. This is a problem! If you just switched to Android 5.0, then you need to re-root your device manually.
Can anyone help me with this problem, because I dont know what to do?

You use the latest ODIN to flash CF-ROOT ?
3.10.6 is latest iirc

Hello Detection,
Yes i used ODIN v3.07

That's not the latest version

Have you got busybox installed. Some apps need busybox. Install it from playstore and install busybox.

Yes it is not the latest version but it is recomended to use Odin3.07

Lost root after 1-2 days

I recently got a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T with LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4).
I grabbed chainfire autoroot and flashed it with the Odin 3.10.6 that came with the CF file. It successfully rooted the phone. I installed Titanium Backup and restored all the stuff I wanted from my old device.
I've been using the device for 1-2 days now and lost root. I opened TB and it says I'm no longer rooted. I confirmed this by downloading a root checker and it also says I'm not rooted.
According to TB, I had BusyBox for root. There was no application icon nor was it in my list of installed applications. When I used chainfire's autoroot on my S4, it installed a super user program that I could open from my app list.
I would really like to continue using Titanium Backup. Does anyone know how I can gain root access again? I already messed it up once by reflashing the autoroot. This caused an infinite bootloop and I eventually got out of it by doing a factory reset. I've returned my S4 to T-Mobile and don't want to soft brick my phone again.
Thanks.

Anyone have any suggestions of how I can reroot my phone?

If you successfully used cf autoroot then that's not the issue.....My money is on a deleted or disabled or un-updated super user app.... this is what will give you (or prevent you from having) root access to your device.

Some days ago I get same problem ( lost root ) because i use supersu v2.67 on cm13 for sg s5 : g900f
therefore, after installed cfroot you can use twrp 3.0.0.0 as custom recovery
Then , Download. & update supersu to v2.65 by using twrp recovery ZIP version
Thanks i'm waiting for a reply
