CM 7.2 Superuser unable to grant root

On an old Sprint Hero with stock 2.1 Sense ROM, I recently rooted, wiped and installed CM 7.2. At first, Superuser was working and I was able to restore things like old SMS. However, after a day, Superuser is no longer able to grant root access to things like Titanium Backup or even itself. I tend to get a force close for Superuser when trying to elevate. I've tried downgrading the Superuser APK to the version that came with CM 7.2 (I had upgraded it). I've also tried booting into recovery to replace the binary su. Neither option works.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a way around it?

Try installing busybox from the play store also try updating the app from within the app if you haven't already

The problem was solved by downgrading both the Superuser APK and the binary file. I have root access again. For some reason Superuser 3.1 and the 3.1.1 binary weren't behaving.

Glad you got the problem solved.

Weird issue: superuser doesn't work anymore but still have root access

Hi All,
For some reason, just in the past week or so, with no changes to my vs980 except updating twrp to 2.8.1, i've lost all capability of superuser apps but all the apps that have that require root access continue to work. I use Carbon ROM, am on 4.4.4 and do my own builds. It has it's own built in SU but I've been using SuperSU. When a new app tries to get su access via SuperSU, the "grant" button won't press so the app eventually gets denied.
I uninstalled SuperSU and now only using the built in SU app that comes with Carbon ROM. It doesn't seem to be doing anything. No logs are being generated (yes, they are turned on) and I get no toast notifications when apps request root access. But they all still work fine... which seems very odd.
What does all this mean? Can the new twrp be causing it? How can I get SU apps to work again? I've run "root checker" and it says I have root. But when I first run the app, it never asks for root access.
Thanks.

i9506 problems with SU

hello.
I have rooted my phone for some time with chainfire super user.
I started facing blue screen problems and random restarts now. thought maybe there is some hardware faults. started SU app and have choosed full unroot and problem have disappeared for some time.
What have happened and why?
firmware 4.4.2.
Currently i updated software through kies (nj1 update).
so far so good. no bluescreen for now.
update.. still getting randoms reboots... what is causing them?

I also had random reboots after I rooted. Though I don't think the super user app caused it. It happened only after I installed viper4android.
I changed roms since then and no problem.
Maybe you installed an app that causes it. Only thing I can suggest is, either change roms, or reinstall stock rom and root again

Did you delete Knox-related apps from /system?

no. i didn't delete them... should I? there were nothing mentioned about file delete in rooting manual so i did nothing.
Should I delete every file that contains word knox or any concrete files?
After I updated phone by kies, rooted again, data format couple times + dalvik cache clear, problem seems to disappear. for half day so far so good, no reboot.
to change rom will be next thing i will do if reboots reappear

Knox can cause problems on rooted phones. That's partly why you don't find Knox in ROMs based off stock. So yes, you should remove the Knox apps in /system.

just remembered... when I launched SU app it asked me do i want to disable knox. i choose yes.
is it enough for removing knox or it is necessary run for example DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip
p.s. sadly i can't install busybox. after i click install it shows "checking system" forever

Choosing yes was the right answer, but while SuperSU does disable Knox, I'm inclined to believe it's only so that SuperSU can properly function and install the su binary and doubt it's permanent. However, I never tested this, as I delete Knox apps regardless.

Snapchat no longer letting me sign in

I have a G935A. Snapchat was working fine, then i rooted and it was still working fine. When i installed xposed it stopped working. I read its a common problem with snapchat, so i uninstalled xposed and it still didnt work. I tried restoring the phone 3 times and nothing has worked. All it says is my login failed. I can sign into the account on an iPhone and i can make a new account on my S7, but i cant sign into my regular account. Any suggestions?

Did you remove xposed app or uninstall xposed ? You must flash xposed uninstaller via TWRP.

Happened to me once on a different phone after xposed was installed.
Two methods are:
1. Flash Xposed uninstalled with TWRP - login to snapchat, installed xposed frameworks again.
2. Have another rooted device (no xposed) - sign into snapchat, use Titanium backup to backup snapchat, Make sure u CLEAR the data for snapchat on that phone or delete the app, don't log out!, Use titanium backup on your root S7 Edge phone (with or withour xposed) and restore that file.
You should be automatically logged in.

Yes uninstalling the app directly from your phone just stops u from controlling xposed u have to Uninstall the framework with flashfire or TWRP.. If you have already tried that I had this same problem the other day.. I actually heard that snapchat is now checking for actual just root as well.. I Uninstalled root completely logged in then re rooted and re installed xposed. Sounds like a lot but it's worth it. Only takes 10 minutes.

if you have a backup like titanium backup of the snapchat app AFTER you've logged into it, i think you should be able to restore it without having to uninstall xposed..

I've tried flashing the uninstall package multiple times, the Xposed app says no framework is installed. I've also reflashed the stock firmware multiple times trying to fix this issue and NOTHING is working. I tried backing up snapchat on another rooted phone and restoring it on the s7 and that didn't work either. This is extremely frustrating

Did you clean up and fully unroot your phone? Root is now being checked for

FIX
ONLY FOR THOSE WITH SUPERSU ROOT
Facedthe same problem today mate this is how i did it and just takes you couple of minutes
just temporaily unroot your phone with your SuperSU app if it still does'nt work. if you uninstalled xposed.
you will see that you are gonna be able to snapchat right the moment you are unrooted.
login
grab yourself a flashable zip of supersu to re-root your phone and flash it with TWRP
you should be logged in and have you root
make sure to get titanium backup right away if you didnt have it already and BACKUP your snapchat app + data.
saves you from doing this all over again if you ever should be logged out of snapchat.
for the new roms with magisk v7
i cant figure out how to do since since we cant en/disable our root anymore (correct me if am wrong cause i dont know how to do it with the new magisk manager )
automagisk wont do the trick so i dont know
hit thanks if this helped you.

you have supersu or magisk root?
if you updated form supersu to magisk without wiping data this could be you problem..
go to twrp ---> wipe ----> Format data
type yes
log in with your unrooted phone
re root phone
get yourself a backup of the app with titanium backup
please let me know if this worked for you

Hello,
I've got a question about snapchat.
I'm sorry if im posting this in the wrong place, im new here!
I want to use snapchat 9.3.1.0 so i can use snapprefs.
I'm rooted and have xposed framework installed.
I am currently logged in in the newest snapchat version.
I made a backup of my snapchat with TB, deleted the new version of snapchat, installed snapchat 9.3.1.0, opened titanium backup and restored 'DATA ONLY'.
When i open snapchat, the app says: There are no snaps, and it says i've got no friends (which makes me sad). Any idea how i can fix this?
Thank you!
Lorenzo

Hi mate,
I wanna do what you did, as in full unroot then login then re-root. I just wanted to ask do I need to have any custom recovery software installed before doing this? I rooted my phone with ODIN. I DONT have XPOSED installed contrary to what EVERYONE in this forum keeps saying that i only have to uninsall xposed lol.
I have a rooted s5 too so could I potentially login on snapchat on that then create a titanium backup of the app+data then transfer across to me s7edge? That is how I initially remained logged in on snapchat when switching from the s5 to the s7 edge.
Please help! everyone else is just being vague!!

You could just fully unroot within the supersu app re login and then use Odin to re root. .. Or use your s5 to log in and back it up and transfer to your s7.. But you'd have to unroot your s5 if you did it thst way.

Thanks mate. I did it the s5 way and created a back up to restore on s7 edge device. Could have just done it the s7 unroot reroot. Would have been easier lol. Thank you.

Ah yes... I don't have xposed installed? I want to install but I'm still unsure in the process to install it. Do you have a link to installing it on the s5? I'll trial with that before i try to on the s7 edge.

I love casper for that function exactly, you can watch peoples stories (stalk) without them knowing. The root session used to keep me logged in on both but I think SC have found a way to detect root use of a third part app which is a shame. Not sure if anyone knows how to mask casper from SC at all on here?

I never thought about that. But yes casper was nice for that. And if I could mask it I would again use it.

Root same way as you rooted marshmallow. Flash twrp, flash supersu 2.79. everything is the same. it will take a while to boot though be patient.

Flash TWRP in Odin
Flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip in TWRP

no its not working......After install recovery stuck in Samsung Flashing logo....

TWRP is making the devices get stuck on Samsung logo....

I think what is happening is that when you install only the twrp the encryption of the device conflicts and leaves in bootoolp. When you install twrp and root , root already comes with a tool that takes out the encryption. But if you just want twrp, as was my case, you should, first of all, on your own twrp, wipe data and then flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.

Having root and no encryption sucks. Think I'll wait

Found Some Official Announcement From @Chainfire
Source :- Link
ChainFire Info
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here yet. I've had the stock firmware randomly stop booting even without modifying the boot image (rooting). Others have also reported that just flashing TWRP may trigger a bootloop (which is weird). I have some ideas what the cause may be, but it will be some time before I can properly investigate them.
The only way I seem to reliably get both TWRP and SuperSU working right now is:
- Flash TWRP (3.0.2-5) to recovery
- Immediately boot into TWRP
- If you were encrypted, format /data (ext4) and reboot into TWRP again
- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3 in TWRP
- Reboot into Android
The first boot will take a while if you performed that format, but for me it ultimately completes. Note that your device will be running unencrypted at this point!
Of course, if you format /data, you will lose all your data (including contents of internal storage!). Before I flashed the new version, I used FlashFire v0.54-PRE to create a backup of /data and internal storage to the removable sdcard, and restore that backup after flashing DPLT, rooting, and reinstalling FlashFire. This worked fine for me, and all my settings - including fingerprints and system settings - transferred fine. I came from the first Nougat beta, but I've seen others reporting success doing the same thing coming from Marshmallow. As always, your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately, due to this boot-loop issue with DPLT and encrypted data, it is also impossible to use FlashFire to upgrade the firmware itself to DPLT while keeping root if you started with an encrypted device.
I am not sure if the same difficulties exist with other official builds than DPLT, nor if the same problems occur with any of the custom ROMs based on DPLT. The S7 is my daily driver so I don't like to experiment with it too much
Below attach the required Files, I gonna try tomorrow. If anyone tried now please report update.

You can root but you have to disable encryption. Not a fan of that personally so I'll wait for another solution. If I lose my phone at least I'll have secure power up enabled. There is no bypassing that. There are too many FRP exploits on Youtube so having no encryption and simply a password isn't enough in my opinion.

Since you are rooted, uninstall S Health and install a lower version number which doesn't require Knox.

Security log will stop after you launch SU application and let SU to disable knox, it takes me always two attempts, disable, keep trying then i restart smartphone and after restart i try to disable knox again and it works, no more pop ups.
About S Health I'm looking for solution, so far should be enough to install older version set it up and update for new one, problem is that i cannot uninstall old version to get new one working.
