[Q] No SU Binary installed

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

I tried to root my 9505 after upgrade with CF-root "jfltexx", but after i got PASS on Odin, i opened SuperSU and i got message "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. this is a problem!!"

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

I tried to reflash the CF-Root again, and it doesn't work??!
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 also did that, and seems that is rooted, but when i go to ES file explorer to open root directory, it says it's empty!!!!
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

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

Hi! yes i am using Odin 3.10.6 and a PC Windows 7

I'm not familiar with other versions of the s5, are you 8s9ng the correct recovery file? Which slot are you putting it in?it should go into AP, if I remember correctly.

Hi! Far as i know i use The correct file, do you maybe have a Link to one?
Yeah i check The AP then use The file i downloaded then click start, The flashing process passes but still stock recovery...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app

I ran into the same problem, flashed TWRP 3 times and KNOX remained 0x0 and recovery remained stock
Ended up having to use CF Auto Root to gain root, then use TWRP Manager to flash TWRP

Yea flash CF Auto Root via ODIN, then install that TWRP app and the app itself will flash TWRP for you
I was running stock BOB7 when I tried to flash TWRP

Root Galaxy S5 G900D (SC-04f) Android 5.0 (WOEA)

I managed root access , and successfully used root . But it stoped working for some unknown reason after 1/1.30hour of root ...Anyone willing to take risk can try it. & share if something better happens . I mean if can manage root access permanently .
What I did was
- upgraded to lollipop 5.0 (WOEA) using Odin 3.10
- flashed twrp 2.8.6.0 via Odin . ( this version is not working but it kills the stock recovery )
- then flashed twrp 2.8.5.0 via Odin . ( this version works on 4.4.2 & on 5.0 also . but stock recovery replaces it during the first boot as a result it is not usable . but I killed stock recovery by flashing twrp 2.8.6.0 . In this case it worked . & I was able to boot into twrp recovery )
- Installed updated SuperSU v2.46 zip via twrp 2.8.6.0
After doing those there was super user app in the app drawer & root checker also confirmed root access.
But as I said before , root access stopped working properly after a while...
Edit : CF-auto root for SC-04f VNF9 firmware is working on WOEA firmware . I recenty flashed it . Though Xmod is not working but other root apps (like titanium backup , greenify etc. ) are working nice .

The steps I took at the first time was bit risky . :silly: And root was working good till I rebooted the device & performed a factory reset. After that root wasn't working properly.
Now I am using root access again . Root checker showing root access & using Greenify , Titanium backup etc. This time I rooted using CF-auto root for SC-04f VNF9 firmware. Instructions are on the website below....
CF-auto root page: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
XDA Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
Though this method is for SC04FOMU1VNF9 firmware (android 4.4.2) But it is working on SC04FOMU1WOEA firmware (android 5.0)
I also used factory reset option twice after rooting using CF-auto root. Still using root & haven't found any problems.
I haven't made this , so can't guaranty anything. Try at your own risk. But I think there won't be any problem if you follow the instructions properly.

little problem, different outcome
Hey Sunbir Ahammed,
Thanks for sharing your trial and errors. I'm in the same boat you were in. I had a very small instance of root success, then for some reason or other I lost it. My first attempt was with CF-auto root using Oden 3.10. It worked for a very short amount of time (Root Checker did verify). Gave it one restart and haven't been able to get root since. I even went back and tried your original TWRP methods. No dice.
SuperSu is installed after CF-auto root, but isn't usable since the root wasn't successful.
I have a feeling it is related to the stock recovery but not sure. I'm new to the root game and could use some pointers. Any ideas?
Here's the details on the device:
Galaxy S5 (SC-04F)
carrier: NTT Docomo
android 5.0 Lollipop

Hello friend,
Well, there is good news. Finally CF Auto Root has been released for a new firmware version.
CF Auto Root now supports SC04FOMU1WOJ1 firmware (the latest one available at both Samsung Kies and sammobile.com)
Here is the link for the latest firmware
And here the CF auto Root link
After upgrading the latest firmware using OTA or Samsung Kies or Odin you just need to flash the CF auto root file using Odin
Here is the detail instruction from CF auto root's website
and here is the XDA thread on CF auto root.
I have flash it just now. And will update if any common issue is found while using.
Hope this helps. :angel:
