[Q] No SU Binary installed - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was rooting my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 phone with this very simple method.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VZd71DWqEo
Everything worked fine until I ran SuperSU and it told me that there is no binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. I re-flashed the SuperSU ZIP with CWM Recovery and I get the same problem. The file I flashed from recovery was this one http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip.
Should I be flashing something else?

If you're on latest firmware you need a newer version. You'll find it in the original development section

Remember after flashing Root/custom your warranty is now void.
Flash a Custom recovery iE: Philz ,CWM, TWRP and download a Su-Binary and put it in your sdcard ,and boot into recovery mode. and flash SuperSU Binary .Done

Maybe jfltexx doesn't support 4.4.2 android KitKat!
you must to flash the super su update zip for the new 4.4.2 Roms my friend
If you have installed the CF autoroot you must to flash philz Revovery or CWM
and then flash this zip Link

I cannot view root directory or open it???!!! something is missing in CF Root "jfltexx"

LMFAO. That directory is *always* empty and has nothing to do with being rooted or not :good:

Download this and flash it through CWM (or any custom recovery you're using) After that, update the app from the play store. (And update the binary if requested to.)
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!
KitKat came in on my OmniROM, running on my Note 2.
Sent from a small country called Singapore.
P.S. Time for school, not much time for XDA

Problem with root/ supersu

Hello Friends,
I just updated to 4.4.2 with Odin
then flashed CF Auto root with Odin
The result is: "There is no binary installed and SuperSU can not install it. This is a problem...".
I flashed TWRP already, but I have no idea how to update/install the binary in order to get proper root access
Can somebody help me please?

Get philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot (install su binary) option in it
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I solved the problem.
I figured out that I used an older version of CF Auto Root which (I guess) contained an older version of SuperSU. I assume that this version had an outdated binary.
Downloaded CF Auto Root again, flashed it with Odin and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help, guys!

is there a risk of bricking phone (odin) ? (Samsung Galaxy s3 neo GT-I9301I) - root

Hi guys, i was thinking of rooting my phone with odin but i'm afraid i might brick it ( CF-Auto-Root )
so.. is there any one who used odin and it worked with him without bricking his phone ?
oh and i forgot to mention that i have android 4.4.2 kitkat
because when i use the normal way to download supersu and install it i get
-----
"There is no binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
"if you just upgraded to android 4.3, you need manually re-root consult the relevant forums for you device!"
edit:
i rooted my device with odin and there was no problem

SHV-E330L Custom recovery install impossible??

I have a shv-e330l (Samsung S4 from Korea AKA GT I9506) I really want to install Clockwork Mod Recovery but it looks as though the file for Odin is not available from anywhere. The one I did find was for an S2 and miss labeled as shv-e330l. I had to re partition the pit file on the device I thought it was bricked but I was able to save it. Im just looking for a good file for Clockwork recovery.
Hello and welcome to XDA
Already tried to look here?
I suggest to flash TWRP since CWM-based recovery is no longer supported. Download this file and Odin, then follow the instructions under "FIRST INSTALL FROM ODIN (v3.07 or higher):" in this thread. Remember to install USB drivers if you don't have Kies installed before doing anything above

Cannot Install TWRP Recovery on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4

Hi everyone,
I rooted my phone so I have towelroot, SuperSU, TWRP Manager, Goomanager and Root Checker Basic installed now.
Root Checker reports that my phone is rooted.
I tried to install TWRP Recovery in multiple ways buy it all failed. Here what I tried:
1) Downloaded tar version and using ODIN3 attempted to install it.
2) Using TWRP Manager, found latest compatible version (2.8.7.jflteatt) then it said ensure partition listed below is correct one and entry was "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" when I click yes it showed flashing and verifying then it gave an error saying "something is wrong. flashing recovery is unsuccessful."
3) Using Goomanager I attempted to install it but it cannot find a proper version to install at all.
I want to install Google Edition of Lollipop on my phone. How do I achieve at this point?
No Idea?
Nobody has any idea??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only compatible recovery with the S4 is Safestrap?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
I don't know at all. I thought TWRP was available...
It is in a way. Because the bootloader is locked on the S4, you can't use TWRP, but Safestrap is available to use. Essentially it's TWRP, but modded to work on the S4's locked bootloader. It currently doesn't work for OC3 (Lollipop), but it works for JB and KK.
I would say to look at this thread to help you a little more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
I'm still new to working with the S4 so I don't want to tell you the wrong thing
That was already a lot! Thank you much! I Rooted now I cannot factory format it or install any rom to clean it up...
Thank you!
