ok so I had a rooted phone running AOKP and franco kernel, it was all fine. but then being the irritatingly impatient person that i am, i wanted android 4.3 so flashed the stock rom, and so everything is now stock, which is what i wanted. BUT, I can't use root! I have supersu installed but whenever an application request root...nothing. literally nothing happens, it's meant to pop up with a little box asking me if i want the app have root access, but now it doesn't come up. It may be linked to the fact that whenever I open supersu it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" so obviously i tap continue, but then it says installing for a about half a second, then it just says "Installation failed!". I've looked around and some people say they can't update their supersu binary if they don't have busybox. When i rooted with Nexus 4 Toolkit (thanks so much mskip. also because of what i say after this it may make this thanks look sarcastic. it's not, nexus 4 toolkit has been amazingly useful to me) it told me busybox had been installed, so i just assumed that it had been. when i saw people saying that i may need busybox i download a busybox installer from Play and it told me i didn't have busybox. so i told it to install busybox and it said "Installing BusyBox v1.20.2 failed. Please try installing a different version. Please note that BusyBox installer attempts to install BusyBox to your system. Some versions of busybox may not work with some devices. If problems persist please email us and we will be glad to offer our assistance". as it suggested i tried other versions of busybox. in fact i tried every version the app would let me try, and none of them worked.

I am running Nexus 7 with 4.2.1 build JOP40D.
After I got the 4.2.1 OTA update I noticed root was no longer working.
I went into Settings and Apps and disabled it and tried using SuperUser but discovered that it didn't work with 4.2.1
I used the Google Nexus_7_ToolKit_v4.0.0 and ran the root command choosing SuperSU which was the correct one for 4.2.1.
It did a cleanup of any other root stuff and successfully pushed root to the device.
It did not show up in the App Drawer, but does show up in Settings, Apps, All.
I tried again by sideloading via CWM recovery but there was no difference.
I then ran the toolkit to remove root, busybox, etc, then attempted to reinstall them both again.
I am still stuck with the same problem.
When running a root app such as Titanium Backup, it gets stuck at "asking for root rights" and not the 'you need to root your device' message.
Any help?
[edit]
When installing busybox it checks and says you should see the reply
system/xbin/busybox
but the reply I get is
system/bin/busybox
Is this a problem?

1. you need to flash the su binaries in your recovery, latest su binaries http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
2. or you need to install busybox if you already flashed the binaries. you can find free busybox installer apps in the play store. best one is by stericson.
That's what confuses me. I have flashed the su binaries via recovery and also installed busybox.
Downloaded the busybox from Play Store now though. It can't install with root though.
Remember, SuperSU is showing up in Settings, Apps, All, it just doesn't seem to be usable or showing up in app drawer.

delete supersu from either /data/app/ or /system app/, wherever you have it installed. then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. after, reboot and reinstall supersu app.
are you sure that you flashed the latest su binaries? if not sure, flash the one that i linked while youre in your recovery.

Thankyou again for your response.
I deleted superuser.apk using adb, then cleared the caches. I then rebooted recovery, sideloaded the latest superuser (from the link provided) and then booted into Android.
Same as before. Superuser is not in the app drawer, but can be seen in settings.
Remember when I said I disabled it in Settings, Apps?
Well it turns out that Google remembers this, even when the app is removed and reinstalled. It will not show that it is disabled when you check it in Settings though.
To fix, I disabled again, then enabled it. Boom fixed.
Feel rather sheepish now.
Although you pushed me to learn quite a bit more about adb so thanks for that!

I am unable to post in the development forum yet, so I am posting here. For the past several weeks I have been having trouble installing CWM Recovery. I've tried using the Mod Collection tool and manual installation and still received the Ouya (!) screen. With the new Ouya update, I needed CWM to work to preserve root. If you are also having issues installing and booting to CWM, the below worked for me.
Steps I used to gain Root, setup Play Store and install CWM:
Sideload and run One Click Root
Sideload Jrummys Busybox Installer & Install Busybox
Sideload and Install Xposed Framework
Sideload ModCollection4Ouya 3.6
Open Xposed Framework and check ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 as a module
Open ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 and performed the following:
Install Play Store and Select "On" for Play Store option
Install CWM Recovery
Reboot into CWM but receive error Ouya (!)
Below corrected my CWM Install Issue and allowed me to update to the newest firmware:
Open Play Store & Install Busybox Installer (Stephen Stericson version)
Open Busybox installer - smart install automatically installed busybox
Open Mod Collection 4.0 and reinstalled CWM
Reboot to CWM
CWM Recovery worked
Open ModCollection4Ouya 3.6 and select option to Preserve SU
Reboot then install upgrade
Good Luck and hope you experience the same results! It seems the Jrummy Busybox version didn't work for me. After installing the other version, CWM installed successfully.
Thanks for posting this, I will have time to try it to tomorrow, hopefully it fixes this issue for me as well!!

I had used a different method to root and install CWM, but in order to fix the problem, I literally followed every step in order starting with sideload One Click Root. It was redundant and un-necessary, but it produced the results in the end by following step by step.
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.

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

I think I should've uninstalled it before the flash.

I tried everything for note 3 to get the SuperSU binaries update to date and I tried all version from the su website or play store. All I get is Installation failed. I am clean stock rooted.

What version of supersu do you have? 2.01?
yup I have the latest SU installed, the problem is that whenever the su app is updated the binaries fail to install, but if I do a factory reset and install the most current version then there are updated... Does the SU app require internet to update/download the binaries?
I was having a similar issue with SuperSU and any all other super user apps. They install, and attempt to update binaries. At this point it never completes the update or the phone crashes and reboots. Haven't quite figured out what the snag is myself.
My issue comes and goes. right now it also asks to update binaries but always fails
I had this issue when I first rooted on stock 4.4.2. So I'm guessing you're on stock? Here download this http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip and instead of installing it. I zip it and go to the common folder. Extract supersu apk and install it. Then run it from the app drawer. Tell me if that works!
That is the not the solution, I have formatted my phone multiple times. I have never been able to update binaries. There has to be a solution to this problem..

Why would you format your phone?
I having this weird error when I uninstall an/any app, the android.acore app/service force closes. I tried to wipe clean many times. I just received it again. So whenever I reformat the phone, I can't update the binaries for some reason
I just got this S5, baseband G900VVRU2AOI1. In the same developer rom I think @FancyPantsu posted about but I don't know if it's from the same source or the exact same phone model. It was flashed on odin, COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.
It has CID 11 so I know the bootloader is locked but I'm trying to get around it as it seems from tutorials I'm reading that it's possible. I installed kingroot and it's rooted successfully according to rootcheck, busybox is also installed without problems. But the point where my phone won't follow the tutorials is that I can't seem to make a supersu user. When I open it and try to update the binary, and press normal recovery, it goes for like 30 seconds before saying it failed and I need to reboot. Which I've done over and over and can't get it to work. I've tried flashing a SuperSu zip, still no changes. I'm trying to install safestrap eventually, but when I do it goes to 100% quickly, says install successfull but never activates. I also installed selinuxmodechanger and made sure it's set to passive. There was another solution I saw, that involved Kingo Superuser and removing root in the settings, but it didn't have the permissions.
As I understand it so far, I'm stuck in this circle. Like safestrap requires su binary to install, su binary requires safestrap to install, and any way to get one of those two requires the other first. Is there anything I'm missing or should try? It'd be much appreciated!
anyone there?
